"My son...I beg your father to let me go and seal it." Li Yu's attitude was respectful and his tone was pleading.
Emperor Wu fell into silence. He stared at his son with squinted eyes and a sneer on his lips.
"You also want to go to the fiefdom like Lao Jiu?"
"yes!"
"Then you should also know the rules of Wu Kingdom. Once you go to the fiefdom..." Emperor Wu stared at the sixth prince Li Yu with sharp eyes.
Li Yu's heartbeat accelerated slightly, but he concealed it very well and said: "The prince should have been granted the title when he reached his age, not to mention that the ninth brother has already made great achievements before he reached the age. Now our country of Wu is in ruins and is waiting for prosperity. It is When I need people, I am willing to share my father's worries and solve problems!"
The smile on Emperor Wu's lips grew thicker and he said, "You go back first, we can discuss this later."
"Thank you, Father!"
Looking at the leaving figure of Sixth Prince Li Yu, Emperor Wu snorted coldly.
…
East Palace!
The prince was trembling all over, and the other advisers also had serious expressions on their faces.
When they knew that Emperor Wu had that intention, everyone felt very uncomfortable.
"Your Highness, the Sixth Prince just went to see Your Majesty alone."
The prince, who had not completely suppressed the fear in his heart, was shocked when he heard the news.
"You said that the sixth man went to see the father? Why did he go to see the father?" The prince asked with an ugly face.
"I heard... that the Sixth Prince begged to go to the fiefdom and was unwilling to stay in Kyoto."
The subordinate officials in the East Palace all changed their colors.
Requesting to go to the fief means giving up the good situation in Kyoto. Is Lao Liu crazy?
No, it must be wrong!
The prince forced himself to calm down, and he thought of what Du Jie, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, said, the capital that will compete in the world in the future is not in Kyoto but in the fiefdom!
Lao Liu had obviously thought of this, and he was no longer willing to sit back and wait for death in Kyoto.
If the sixth one leaves, then his only opponent in Kyoto will be the fourth one, but the fourth one can't make any progress at all.
No matter what the final result is, it will not be a good thing for him.
Lao Liu wants to imitate Lao Jiu and reap the benefits?
"Father, have you agreed?" The prince calmed down and asked.
"This slave doesn't know yet, but he probably hasn't agreed yet!"
"Your Highness, the situation has changed now. You also need to pay attention to the fiefdom that you lead, and even... hold it firmly in your hands!"
Before this, the princes were unwilling to go to the fiefdom.
But now everyone has discovered that fiefdom seems to be very good, especially for fighting for a big position in the future.
The key is, you don’t have to be constrained by being in Kyoto.
Although Kyoto is close to the center of power, they are all princes, and getting too close to power will not bring good results.
At this time, disappearing from the eyes of the courtiers and the emperor is the best strategy.
Everyone has understood that the structure of the Wu Kingdom has changed. From the moment the ninth prince Li Zhao went to the fiefdom, it was completely different.
Once the sixth prince goes to the fiefdom, the other princes will also react.
If everyone went to the fiefdom, the most disadvantaged would be the prince, but he would also be the most advantaged.
There are trade-offs involved.
"Your Highness, perhaps... we need to ease the relationship with King You."
The prince was not very satisfied and could not think of a better solution.
As brothers from the same mother, their relationship is far inferior to that of Lao Jiu and Lao Si. This must be a stain in the heart of the father, right?
However, he was unhappy at the thought of surrendering to the waste he once was.
"Your Majesty, a little impatience will ruin a big plan!"
The officials in the East Palace are also very aware of the relationship between the Crown Prince and Prince You, but they are politicians and will never act based on their true feelings.
The best thing to do now is to seize the most favorable conditions.
What's more, the prince and Prince You are brothers after all, and this cannot be broken.
If King You can really be brought to the prince's side, then the fourth prince will no longer be a threat. This is killing two birds with one stone.
Politicians must not have too many personal emotions. Sometimes they need to maximize their interests.
"Okay!" The prince obviously understood the key and the trade-offs, and still agreed to compromise.
…
Longmen Village.
Zhao Chun'e clapped her hands, and all the women stopped what they were doing and looked at her.
"The prince is very busy now, and we need to do a lot of things ourselves. I would like to reiterate here that the quality must pass the test, do you understand?"
"know!"
"Then try to get it done as soon as possible!"
"yes!"
Zhao Chun'e took over a new job.
The glove workshop has been formalized and handed over to Wu Liu to manage.
Zhao Chun'e is now leading the other experienced hands to start weaving fishing nets.
The fish pond is still being excavated and expanded at a very fast pace, and the water diversion ditch is not slow at all. In addition, now that we can mine stones ourselves, all parties are making rapid progress.
After the fish pond is dug, all the polished slates and stones will be transported. At the same time, the families that cooperate with Li Zhao will also start to prepare enough sand and gravel for Li Zhao.
While the fish pond was being built, construction of the earthworm breeding factory nearby also began.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
Li Zhao used the collected Polygonum to prepare to catch a large number of fry from the original rivers and ditches.
For Li Zhao, fish is also the main tool for making money in the future.
When Li Zhao brought a large number of people to the Longmen River, countless Youwang guards had prepared large buckets.
Fish can not only make money by opening a restaurant, but also increase nutrition.
Villagers in this era were generally undernourished.
"Your Highness, can this thing really catch fish?"
Li Bin and the others looked at Li Zhao with curiosity as he crushed the Polygonum spp. with a medicine-pounding tool.
The river is very wide, more than 20 meters long, but due to years of siltation, the river bed is constantly rising.
The water level is naturally rising. Last time, because a water tanker was needed, Li Zhao summoned manpower to clean up this section of the river.
It's winter, and the weather is so cold that it can freeze your body.
Secondly, the silt here is very thick.
Silt is the key to seedling breeding for ordinary people.
If you dig it out at this time, it will be a waste.
But the water in the river is still more than two meters deep, which is very good, and there are many aquatic plants in it.
Countless fish can often be seen swimming.
The eyes of all the Youwang guards followed Li Zhao. When Li Zhao mixed the crushed Polygonum spp. into the water, the fish that approached first was unlucky and was immediately turned upside down.
Li Zhao motioned for everyone to act together. Although this kind of spicy Polygonum can turn fish into numbness, it will not kill them.
In addition, Li Zhao wanted fish fry. In this era, few people raised fish.
Even buying it is unrealistic.
In this case, you can only do it yourself.
"oh--"
"It's turned over!"
