Yan Mansion.
The servants had already served refreshments.
Lin Bai waited patiently while drinking tea.
At this time, someone came outside the door, and he subconsciously looked up. At this moment, Yan Ruxue was not covered with a veil. Her fair face was like mutton-fat white jade, her facial features were delicate and soft, and she was wearing a pale pink dress with dark patterns, which was elegant and decent.
But there were faint ripples in those eyes that were as clear as a lake.
I didn’t see it clearly that night, but I just thought it was amazing.
This will take another look.
This appearance is worthy of being one of the four beauties of Kyoto.
"Isn't this great? Wearing a veil every day won't make you feel bored."
Lin Bai saw that there was no one around and said jokingly.
Yan Ruxue blushed slightly when she heard this, and glared at him, as if to say: You disciple, this is my home, is it appropriate for you to speak like this?
But she was used to Lin Bai's way of speaking.
Always so out of tune, laughing and joking.
But for some reason, she felt this was good and felt very close to her.
Just thinking of this made her cheeks feel a little hot.
He said: "My father is not here and may not come back for a while. What do you want to see him for? Is it to find a location for the new city?"
Lin Bai nodded, "You know?"
Yan Ruxue hummed, "After dad told me, he also said that you will probably join the staff department next. Has the appointment been approved?"
This old Yan is really a roundworm in His Majesty’s belly, he knows everything.
Lin Bai could only nod.
At this time, Yan Ruxue took out a map of Lichao, that is, a map, and said, "Dad has seen some places in the past few days and marked them. You can take a look first."
Lin Bai was not polite either.
There are indeed several places marked on the map.
The specific situation of these places is unknown, but from the overall map, these places are good choices.
Lin Bai paused, looked at Yan Ruxue and asked, "Which of these places do you think is more suitable?"
Yan Ruxue was stunned for a moment, pointed to a place on the map and said, "Changping!"
"Why?"
Lin Bai asked.
"First, this is located in the hinterland of Hedong Province, with open terrain and dense population."
"Secondly, the transportation here is convenient. Not only is it connected by a canal, it is also a must-pass for Lanling and Kyoto. Once the new city is built here..."
Yan Ruxue seemed to be a different person, talking eloquently.
Lin Bai looked at her in surprise. He just asked casually. He didn't expect that this girl was so insightful. Was it Lao Yan's teaching?
"What's wrong?"
Sensing Lin Bai's strange gaze, Yan Ruxue's face looked a little unnatural.
"No! That's very good."
Lin Bai smiled and said, "Continue."
Yan Ruxue saw this and stopped talking. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "What do you think?"
Lin Bai thought for a while, "These places are all good, but it is precisely because of this that they feel uninteresting, or perhaps not urgent."
Yan Ruxue frowned, "Not urgent?"
"right!"
Lin Bai nodded, "The locations of these places are very good. They will be able to recover quickly once the disaster is over. When to build a new city is not so urgent for these places, but this place..."
He pointed to a certain place on the map.
"Changjin!"
A flash of surprise flashed in Yan Ruxue's eyes, and she looked at Lin Bai blankly.
"What's wrong? My face looks pale?"
Lin Bai was looked at inexplicably. Although it was indeed a bit eccentric to be looked at by a beautiful woman like this, the look in his eyes was obviously wrong.
Yan Ruxue also realized her gaffe, her pretty face turned red, and then she said: "My father and I have discussed the site selection issue before, and my father also chose Changjin."
ah?
Lin Bai looked at the map and saw that it was not marked!
"However, my father gave up in the end because Changjin is close to Youzhou and not far from the northern border. Youzhou has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. The current situation is not too stable. Once there is a war, Youzhou will will bear the brunt.”
"Once Youzhou is lost, Changjin will be captured in an instant..."
It seems that they have really done their homework.
Lin Bai said: "Isn't that why we should choose here? This is the hinterland of Youzhou and can be built as a second line of defense, and here..."
In fact, he has selfish motives, and the violent mother has been fighting on the grassland.
And there’s no end in sight.
With her violent personality, I guess she shouldn't be expected to go home and be a housewife.
In this case, the location of the new city should be as close to the border as possible. If it were not for the fear that the emperor would not agree, he would have wanted to build it at the border.
Changjin is different. It is some distance away from the border, but not too far. It is connected to the north and south. Most importantly, it has an outlet to the sea.
good!
This place is close to the East China Sea. Although overseas trade is temporarily impossible, preparations must be made first.
Another point is that Lao Zhu is moody and too difficult to take care of. The princes are not easy to take care of. It’s hard to say what the future will be like. Lin Bai has never thought about rebellion or anything. It’s not good to eat soft rice, but This incident reminded him.
Whoever the emperor wants to die is just one sentence.
If one day you don't like yourself, it's not the end of the world.
So there must be a way out.
Of course, he wouldn't say this, just think about it.
"No wonder His Majesty will train you as the future prime minister. What you said is exactly the same as what my father said."
Yan Ruxue glanced at Lin Bai and said.
Ah! Are you praising your brother or your father?
"However, Dad finally gave up. You know why? Because there was a person there."
"who?"
Lin Bai was curious, who could make Lao Yan change his mind?
Yan Ruxue said: "My eldest brother!"
Yan Wenliang? Young Master Wenliang, one of the Seven Young Masters of Kyoto?
Lin Bai had heard about the so-called Seven Young Masters of Kyoto one after another. Qi Mobai, Han Wenqing and others were younger, while Han Wenliang was relatively older. He was the test star of the previous palace, but Lin Bai only heard of his name but not the person. It turned out that the other party Not in Kyoto at all.
Yan Ruxue continued: "The eldest brother and my father have different ideas. The eldest brother strives to lead the war. He once had a fierce conflict with his father because he advocated peace. Later, he took the initiative to request an order from His Majesty to serve at the border."
"My father was worried that the border was too dangerous, so he begged your Majesty without telling his eldest brother. Finally, your Majesty sent his eldest brother to Changjin as the magistrate of Changjin County."
Ah?
Lao Yan actually has such a son? Okay!
its not right!
Lao Yan is not a peace advocate in the strict sense, he just maintains the balance in the court. Judging from the appearance of this girl, it seems that she doesn't know yet.
Lao Yan didn't tell her? Doesn’t Yan Wen’s conscience know?
It is understandable not to tell her daughter. After all, according to the concept of people in this era, a woman will eventually get married, and people from other families cannot help.
But shouldn’t a son be right?
He even told himself, so there was no reason why Yan Wenliang didn't know.
Doesn't Yan Wenliang like Yan Zhenlin's way of life?
Perhaps it can be said that the father and son have already agreed that one master and the other will fight. No matter what happens in the future, the Yan family will have a place?
Good guy!
Lin Bai called him a good guy, Lao Yan is indeed an old fox, and he must have this meaning.
…
Some people died, but not completely...
