"Your Highness, how about... let's go in and talk?"
After making two excuses in succession and being rejected, Zhang Han had no choice but to smile politely.
"That's fine!"
Ying Feiyu looked at the people walking back and forth in the yard and nodded in response.
So, Ying Feiyu was in front, and the old guys followed closely behind with gifts!
As soon as I sat down on the chair, cups of hot tea were served!
"Okay, can the ministers speak now?"
No one usually comes and goes in the house, so these old guys don't need to hide and tuck them away.
"Hehe! Your Highness, there is nothing wrong...!"
Zhang Han smiled flatteringly and put the gift on the table, "Isn't it that Yizhou is about to be developed? We thought about sending a ship out to sea. However, the sea is dangerous and the crew has no experience in going to Yizhou. If we get lost, The road is dangerous!"
He was too embarrassed to directly ask for the drawings, so he blamed it on the common people.
This guy always puts the people first when doing things. If he knows that the people are in danger, he will definitely stop it.
If the guarantee is incomplete, the drawings will be sent to them!
"yes!"
Ying Feiyu nodded, but said nothing.
From the way these old guys carried gifts and were secretive, he guessed that they wanted something from him.
Either you want to buy a boat and want to bargain, or you want to ask for the route map in advance!
Now it seems that there is no doubt that we need to draw a road map!
So, he deliberately refused to fight, to see what else these old guys could do?
"Forehead……"
Seeing that this kid only uttered one word and then didn't respond, the veterans looked at each other.
Shouldn't it?
According to common sense, this kid should directly stop them with words, warn them of the risks of rashly going to sea, and even take the initiative to give them a route map!
But why did it end with just one word today?
"No, Your Highness, you may not understand. What I just meant is that we are going to send the crew to sea to Yizhou!"
"Ok, I know!"
Zhang Han was afraid that he hadn't expressed it clearly, so he reiterated it again.
But Ying Feiyu still had the same expression, he didn't answer the question, and ended the topic directly, making it impossible for him to continue!
"The waves are huge on the sea, and there are reefs surging underneath. It's very dangerous!"
Even so, Zhang Han did not give up.
"You're right!"
Ying Feiyu still had an indifferent attitude.
This will make the veterans anxious!
"Ouch! Lao Zhang, what's the use of all those twists and turns? Doesn't His Highness the Crown Prince still know who we are? Just say it straight...!"
Finally, Wang Ben couldn't stand it anymore and said bluntly: "Your Highness, to be honest, the reason we came here this time is to get the navigation route map and set off to Yizhou in advance!"
"Haha! My father-in-law is still cheerful, unlike Zhang Shangshu, who tucks things away and hesitates for a long time without getting to the point!"
Zhang Han said tactfully before that Ying Feiyu always had an indifferent attitude.
The old guys thought Wang Ben was speaking straightforwardly, but that kid didn't buy it even more!
Unexpectedly, he actually started laughing!
This is the benefit of being a father-in-law!
He confidently opened his mouth and asked for the navigation route map. Not only was His Highness not angry, but he praised him for being cheerful!
no!
After His Highness the Crown Prince gets married, no matter what, he has to stuff his daughter into this villa!
Also try what it’s like to be the father-in-law of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
"In the early morning, His Majesty has promised to develop Yizhou. The ministers are eager to try it. The news will be published in the newspapers tomorrow, and the people will be excited. When the navigation route map is printed, the docks will be overcrowded, so we plan to go to sea first!"
Wang Ben didn't mince words and directly stated his purpose.
"Well, there are only some natives living in Yizhou now, and the first ones to go will definitely make money!"
Ying Feiyu nodded.
"His Royal Highness, does he promise to give us the navigation chart?"
The old guys blinked and stared at him with very excited expressions.
"Of course I can give you the navigation route map, but if someone discovers that you arrived in Yizhou early, I'm afraid they will say that this prince opened a back door for you!"
It is difficult for Ying Feiyu to act accordingly.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, if anyone dares to say anything, I, Old Kang, will rip off his teeth immediately!"
Kang Anping frowned and immediately expressed his stance.
"Even if you don't say it on the face, you will definitely whisper behind your back, and it will have a bad impact if word spreads!"
"Then what does His Highness the Crown Prince mean...?"
Feng Quji was an old cunning man, and he understood that there was something in Xiaozhengtai's words.
The navigation route map should be provided, but it is probably conditional!
"I don't have any other intentions. From my personal point of view, I really want to give you the blueprints, but I'm just afraid of being criticized by everyone! If I can figure out a way and find a legitimate reason to go to Yizhou first, then That’ll be no problem!”
Ying Feiyu leaned on the chair and said leisurely.
"A valid reason?"
The veterans looked at each other.
What legitimate reason could they have to go to Ezhou first?
Are you going as a dispatcher from the imperial court?
Then all the valuable things found would become the property of the imperial court, and they would have nothing to do with them at all!
If it is in a private capacity, what reasons can be given?
The navigational blueprints are right in front of them. As long as they can come up with a reasonable reason to land in Yizhou first and prevent His Highness from being criticized, they can get the blueprints immediately!
"Is it a very valid reason to transport immigrants to Yizhou?"
Just when all the veterans were at a loss what to do, Meng Tian, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.
"Huh? This is a good idea. If someone is willing to immigrate, it would be much more reasonable for us to escort him there!"
Meng Yi's eyes suddenly lit up and he echoed the words.
"Quickly pull them down. The people escorting the immigrants are escorted by the government, and they are also using imperial ships. What does it have to do with us?"
"Exactly! Since the state has just been developed, which people are willing to immigrate there?"
"Even if there are, there are only a few scattered households. Is it worth using seven or eight steamships to escort us...?"
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, they were retorted by several other veterans.
This reason may sound reasonable at first glance, but it cannot stand up to scrutiny at all, and the criticism will be even more serious by then!
"Since escorting people to immigrate is not acceptable, then is it even less acceptable to deliver supplies to the soldiers guarding Yizhou?"
Kang Anping tilted his head and thought for a long time, and finally rejected it himself.
Transporting supplies is also a matter for the court and has nothing to do with their personal lives at all!
"That's definitely not possible!"
Wang Bi, Chun Yuyue and others immediately waved their hands.
"No! This reason is okay and very valid!"
However, Feng Quji's cloudy old eyes suddenly burst out with sparkle.
"I said, Lao Feng, are you confused? Even if you are transporting supplies, that is still a matter for the imperial court. Isn't your excuse just like the common people sending immigrants!"
The other veterans rolled their eyes.
