Stepping into the desert again, Liu Zheng was filled with sadness.
The trip to Loulan was full of surprises and even more unexpected gains.
Zheng Yueru looked sideways at Liu Zheng with a playful look on her face, but she didn't speak.
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly: "Miss, please stop looking at me like this, okay?"
Zheng Yueru chuckled: "Then Queen Reguli, is Brother Liu really not tempted at all?"
Liu Zheng said depressedly: "My son has become the king, should I just go and become the Supreme Emperor and save thirty years of hard work?"
Zheng Yueru couldn't understand it at first, but then she understood it and laughed so hard.
"It's just Brother Liu's blueprint..."
Zheng Yueru took a breath: "Are you serious?"
Liu Zheng looked at her and smiled: "Why does everyone think I'm joking? Do I like joking like that?"
"But……"
When Zheng Yueru saw the desolate surroundings, she felt despair in her heart.
Liu Zheng laughed: "No matter whether it works or not, we have to try. Think about it, how big this desert is, how much territory we can harvest in the future! How charming is it? If we can't do it, there will be the next generation, and the next generation won't be able to do it. , and the next generation! It is best to plant a tree ten years ago, and the next best thing is now! There has never been anything more conquering than leaving an oasis for future generations!"
Zheng Yueru's delicate body trembled, and she felt that the young man in front of her was becoming more majestic.
Reguli's vision is really accurate...
…
Yinzhou.
Silver Beach City.
In a few months, the entire Silver Beach City has been almost completed. Still on the small hill, Qing Yangshuo looked at the majestic city and smiled slightly: "It's time for the young master to come back."
Hu Xi'er, who was standing behind the wheelchair, snorted coldly: "Dad, you are thinking about him every day. Maybe you hooked up with a princess in Loulan and became a consort!"
As he spoke, he burst into laughter first.
She didn't know that she almost guessed it right... It's just that Liu Zheng didn't almost become the consort, but almost became the emperor.
Qingyang Shuo smiled fondly and said, "Silly boy, this will be your home from now on, and I have to deal with your bad temper!"
Hu Xier's face turned red with embarrassment: "Dad, please keep talking nonsense!"
Qingyang Shuo smiled faintly and said nothing.
Hu Xier asked strangely: "What is dad thinking about?"
Qingyang Shuo said calmly: "When Yintan City was built, it was suspected that the big trees would attract the wind. This refined salt began to appear in the Longyan Dynasty, which will definitely attract the attention of many people. What worries my father is that there is still no Baiya Army. It’s impossible to reach the point where your hands and eyes can see the sky…”
Hu Xier looked worried: "Dad, what should we do?"
Qingyang Shuo's eyes flashed: "Yinzhou doesn't need to worry too much for the time being. The first person to bear the brunt of this matter should be the Baiya Army. The longer the time goes, the greater the loss will be to the Baiya Army. This may not be a problem for Yinzhou Bad thing. Just..."
"Just how?"
Qingyang Shuo looked at the sky leisurely: "Look at how the situation in the world has changed."
…
Jinghua.
The political center of the Longyan Dynasty.
The most prosperous city in the entire dynasty.
The palace alone is an endless stretch of land, majestic and majestic. Some people say that it would take three days to go around the palace. There are various entrances, various courtyards, and many other places. Dazzling.
"The salt pipe envoy is here to meet you!"
"I have an audience with you!"
"Master Yu..."
Today, Yu Chaoshu, with a cold sweat on his face, ran all the way with a brocade bag in his arms, wanting to see the emperor, but if he wanted to see the emperor, he had to pass various checkpoints and various interrogations by the eunuchs of the inner court. The Salt Controller was also a third-rank official in the Longyan Dynasty, and his status was not low, but he did not dare to show off in front of these eunuchs in the inner court.
"Hey, what kind of wind is this that brings Master Yu here today?"
An indistinguishable voice sounded.
Yu Chaoshu glanced at it, feeling sad in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Zhou, it is extremely urgent. I need to see the emperor!"
Manager Zhou, named Zhou Zhaolun, is the chief manager of the inner court of the imperial palace. No one dares to offend the famous person in front of the emperor. It can be said that in the palace, he can be said to be able to cover the sky with one hand. Even if the Queen Zheng Fu sees him, she will be a little embarrassed.
Manager Zhou looked sideways at Yu Chaoshu, with a smile on his face but not a smile on his face: "Master Yu, the emperor is a little sleepy today and has already rested. The world is huge and the emperor is the biggest, isn't he? If Master Yu has anything to report, just tell me. Bar!"
As soon as these words came out, a group of young eunuchs behind Manager Zhou blocked Yu Chaoshu's path.
Yu Chaoshu was sweating coldly: "This... Manager Zhou, it's a very important matter, I really don't dare to delay it!"
Manager Zhou snorted coldly: "Is there something bigger than the Emperor? Even the Emperor doesn't hide anything from me. Master Yu, can't you trust me?"
"I, I, I..."
Yu Chaoshu made a grimace: "I definitely don't dare, it's just..."
Manager Zhou looked at the brocade bag in Yu Chaoshu's arms and asked, "What is this?"
Yu Chaoshu couldn't hide it, sighed and gritted his teeth: "Manager Zhou, this is what I want to meet! In our Longyan Dynasty, we found refined salt that is more refined than that produced by the Salt Transport Department!"
"What?"
Manager Zhou was startled: "Bring it to me quickly!"
Prison yard.
The refined salt in the brocade bag made a group of people stunned.
Manager Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly.
Yu Chaoshu said anxiously: "Mr. Zhou, this matter is not trivial! Our Salt Transportation Department definitely does not produce this kind of refined salt!"
Manager Zhou chuckled and tapped his fingers on the table: "Master Yu, can this kind of refined salt be of high quality?"
Yu Chaoshu sighed: "Excellent product!"
In the steward's hall, you can hear a needle drop instantly.
It was so quiet that Chaoshu's breathing seemed so heavy.
Manager Zhou chuckled and said, "Master Yu, where did this refined salt flow into the capital?"
Yu Chaoshu smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Zhou, this is the reason why I want to meet the emperor! Judging from its appearance, you can tell that ordinary people cannot afford this salt. I only get it occasionally, so this transportation channel , I still can’t figure it out. I think we should report it to the Emperor and let the Holy One make the final decision to arrest the case, so we should send secret guards to figure out the source of this salt first!”
Manager Zhou pondered for a moment, then he chuckled and said: "Master Yu, please don't panic. Your Majesty has been sleepy recently, so you shouldn't bother him too much..."
Yu Chaoshu was very anxious, but he also knew that the emperor had been ill a few years ago, and there were even rumors in the palace that the emperor was already preparing for the crown prince's succession.
"What does Manager Zhou mean?"
Mr. Zhou smiled and said: "Master Yu will leave first. I will keep this in mind. When the holy body is at rest, I will choose an opportunity to report to him. What do you think of Master Yu?"
Yu Chaoshu was overjoyed and immediately agreed.
After Yu Chaoshu left, Manager Zhou slowly looked at the salt on the table again, with a flash of light in his eyes.
"Someone is coming!"
"Ancestor, here we come!"
"The commander of the secret guards comes here to take orders. Within a month, I want to find out where this refined salt comes from!"
"yes!"
