"Hahahahaha, my beloved concubine, Brother Yu, these three are truly my lucky generals!"
Emperor Jinghe's heartfelt laughter spread into Huaning Palace. Concubine An hurriedly put down her paintbrush, not even bothering to wash her hands, when she saw the emperor stepping into the palace gate.
Concubine An raised her smile and shook her head helplessly: "I wonder what those three naughty guys did to make you happy! I'm just talking about brother Yu, that little heartless one, who only handed it to me. I wrote two letters, and there was a sense of joy in the words. When I looked at him, I saw that he didn’t feel homesick at all. He really deserves to be beaten!”
"Can't fight! Can't fight!" Emperor Jinghe waved his hands skillfully, sat on the couch and took the fragrant tea personally delivered by Concubine An. He put it aside with a smile, and happily asked his beloved concubine to sit over, "Then You guys are so good! I will reward them well!"
What he said made Concubine An very curious, and then she asked: "Concubine, do you still remember the information from the internal guards a few months ago, saying that the eldest princess of Arong was lurking in the territory of Dachu?"
Concubine An nodded. Of course she remembered that the princess was not named because of her ranking.
To be more precise, "Princess Ajong" is a title that refers to a princess with real power.
Generally speaking, the Princess Ajong who receives this title either has the same right to inherit the throne as the princes, or she is the designated next regent princess.
There are many Ajong tribes, and only the daughter of the "Great Khan" of the "Wangting Tribe" who has the ability to integrate and lead these hundreds of tribes is qualified to win this title.
"The Holy One has said that this princess may have great ambitions and is willing to take risks to lurk in Dachu. I'm afraid she is not content to be a regent princess assisting the next khan. If she can capture this person, it will be impossible to say It can be of great use...what? Could it be that there is news about her? "
Emperor Jinghe smiled and listened to Concubine An's warm question. He immediately laughed heartily: "It's not just that there is news about her! Brother Yu, three of them, found her hiding place and captured her and her subordinates. !”
"Ah?!" Concubine An was shocked, what a coincidence? !
"It's not just that! Based on Sister Yuan and Brother Yu's translation, the inner guards discovered the token hidden by the eldest princess Tutuduo. It was a large overseas trade route that they jointly developed with Nuerhan and other forces. Stake Tokens.”
When Emperor Jinghe said this, he couldn't help snoring: "What a great overseas trade route! This plan is to unite those wavering and arrogant small countries in the Western Regions to form a Great Commercial Wall and cut off our trade routes in and out of the Western Regions!"
If Dachu hadn't had its own unique waterway, I'm afraid Nuerhan, who also had a waterway, would have copied this method to intercept their merchant ships!
"The intentions of A Rong and Nuer Han are indeed sinister! However, the purpose of Princess A Rong coming to Da Chu... Is it possible that the wealthy businessmen of Da Chu still dare to join forces with them?" Concubine An frowned, "The inner guard of the Holy Emperor I'm afraid the army will be busy, not only the wealthy gentry and aristocratic families will have to investigate, but also the officials on the next floor... will also have to investigate."
"Hmph, the controversy over sea routes and waterways has never stopped in the court. Many old ministers still insist that the court make concessions to benefit the people. What's even more ridiculous is that the court's caravans are the main ones, which is disrespectful! Listen! These are human words?!"
Emperor Jinghe, who was often scolded by his officials and scolded by his ministers, couldn't help but slap the table and lose his temper: "They are well fed and well clothed, but they don't see that I have rich internal funds. How can it be so? Is it possible that I am wearing clothes and beatings?" Isn’t it appropriate to go to court with a patchwork dragon robe?!”
Emperor Jinghe was so angry that he kept cursing and uttering all kinds of civilized words that quoted scriptures and scriptures, which made Concubine An almost laugh out loud.
In order not to spoil the atmosphere, she lowered her head and covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, covering the corners of her mouth that she really couldn't control.
Let the emperor scold him if he likes. After all, after scolding him, he will have to sit there and listen to the good words and advice of the ministers the next time he comes to court.
After the depression dissipated, Jing and Emperor drank a pot of tea. Then he remembered the three Yu brothers, and immediately said cheerfully: "Those three children are very good. They occupied the village and they knew how to communicate with the local people." The government office bought Yunshan, and his behavior is impeccable and he knows the rules very well!"
Concubine An rolled her eyes: "The silver used to buy the mountain is reserved for the local government and cannot enter the national treasury!"
"..." Emperor Jinghe paused for a moment in excitement.
He was happy before and made money again, but it turned out that he was happy for others. Tsk tsk, what a pity, mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are!
Seeing the emperor like this, Concubine An suddenly thought of what people often say: the richer you are, the more you become addicted to money.
Emperor Jinghe made his noble concubine feel a little embarrassed.
It's not that he is stingy, it's mainly that emperors with great talents and great strategies usually find that no matter how rich the treasury is, they don't have enough money to spend!
Thinking of his countless ideas, Emperor Jinghe sighed.
Concubine An didn't want to embarrass the emperor like this. It would be difficult to deal with it if she got angry. So she went back to Anyu and the others and said, "Brother Yu, the three of them are going to Luo'an, aren't they? And then they have to go on a study tour further afield. What do you think?" Yes, they even bought a mountain? Is it possible that they can make the mountain follow them?!"
"Didn't the three of them also form caravans two years ago? There are several overland, sea, and domestic caravans, and they want to use Yunshan as their base." Emperor Jinghe immediately followed the words.
Concubine An didn't expect that they still had this idea, and immediately disapproved of it: "Yunshan is close to Kyoto and far away from the border. It has no village in front of it and no shops in the back. It is not suitable to use it as a base... Could it be that the three of them still want to stay outside? Can’t you come back from crazy fun?”
"That's impossible! The three of them are only responsible for digging holes. They don't have to do any work of planting trees and filling holes!" Emperor Jinghe thought of one of the purposes of coming to Huaning Palace, and immediately took out Shengyuan and Anyu. He showed the plan submitted by Lu Sheng to Concubine An.
"My beloved, let's see for yourself! Those three little things are so good at calling people! Even I have to help them!" Emperor Jing He said this, but he looked cheerful, which made him very happy no matter how he looked at it.
When Concubine An heard what the emperor said, she calmly turned over the plans compiled by the three of them.
It turned out that when the three of them bought Yunshan, they not only used it as a residence for their own caravans, but also wanted to develop it into a caravan station and commercial scenic street.
The former faced caravans from various places inside and outside Dachu, allowing them to rest and communicate here, allowing them to exchange information, cooperate in buying and selling, and exchange goods.
As for the latter, it is for ordinary tourists, allowing them to not only appreciate the scenery of Yunshan, but also appreciate the customs of commodities from Dachu and even overseas.
"The design is good, but the three of them have contracted the management, guarding, and guarding responsibilities to you, and they are just waiting to get paid!"
Although Concubine An thought that her nephew was good in everything, she also felt that this boy was too thick-skinned at this moment.
