In Prince Liang's palace, Qin Yun was lying under the grape trees to enjoy the coolness. Liu Guanguan was holding a wooden spoon and feeding Qin Yun ice cream spoonful by spoonful.
Qin Yunzhu dipped his fingers into some ice cream and put it on Liu Guanguan's beautiful nose, which made the latter angry.
With a pair of peach blossom eyes overflowing, she licked the ice cream with the tip of her tongue and snuggled into Qin Yun's arms.
"Your Highness, how on earth is this ice cream made? It's so sweet!"
Qin Yun smiled: "As you can see, ice cubes of goat's milk, egg white, and a small amount of tapioca starch."
"Your Highness is really powerful. I heard from Yang Yong that Yuelai Bingshi stole the show today. I think the second prince must be furious!"
Qin Yun pinched Liu Guanguan's plump waist.
"I don't know if he is angry or not, but if you keep squirming around like this, I will get very angry!"
Feeling the strangeness on Qin Yun's body, Liu Guanguan blushed, but got away.
"Your Highness, it's better to marry Miss Shen as soon as possible!"
"I've been having menstruation these past few days, so I can't help Your Highness!"
Qin Yun grabbed the ice cream: "Then you still want to eat it? Be good, drink the brown sugar water I made for you!"
"No, I want to eat ice cream..."
Qin Yun said sternly: "Be good and be obedient. I have a stomachache after eating too much!"
Just when Liu Guanguan and Qin Yun were asking for ice cream, Yang Yong happily came to report.
"Report, Your Highness! All the sorbets have been sold out!"
Qin Yun nodded slightly: "How much money did you lose?"
Liu Guanguan on the side paused: "Since it's sold out, why did you lose money?"
Qin Yun said with a smile: "You think sugar, beans, and goat's milk are cheap! Yang Yong told Guanguan how much a scoop of our ice cream costs."
"Go back to Your Highness, we have three tubes of ice cream per scoop, and five tubes of ice powder per bowl!"
"That's too cheap!" Liu Guanguan opened his mouth wide.
You must know that production materials were not abundant in ancient times. Among other things, sugar alone was not something that ordinary people could often eat.
Qin Yun smiled: "If it were not sold so cheaply, who would fall into the trap?"
"pit?"
Liu Guanguan was puzzled, and Yang Yong on the side explained: "His Highness is planning to squeeze out the second prince at a low price!"
Qin Yun waved his hand: "Okay, that's it for now. Are you ready with the gift I asked you to prepare?"
"Go back to Your Highness, everything is ready and can be delivered to the palace tomorrow!"
Qin Yun nodded slightly: "That's good, continue to order people to purchase sugar cane. Sugar will be of great use to us in the future!"
Yang Yong nodded: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I have sent Zhao Kun to Qiongzhou in the south with trustworthy people. There is a lot of sugar cane there. We will use all the money Your Highness gave us to buy it!"
Qin Yundao: "If you have done a good job in this matter, I will remember you as your first contribution. It is best to mobilize the local folks to plant it."
"promise!"
Liu Guanguan listened to the conversation between Qin Yun and Yang Yong and suddenly said: "Your Highness, Guan Guan's home is in Qiongzhou. My mother is buried there and has not visited her grave for a long time. Since Your Highness is going to Qiongzhou for business, Guan Guan is willing to go." Pave the way for His Highness!”
Qin Yun frowned. Liu Guanguan had always wanted to do things for her, but Qin Yun considered that she was a delicate girl and he didn't want Liu Guanguan to suffer.
"What, Guan Guan, do you hate me?"
Liu Guanguan shook his head: "No! Do you still remember what Guan Guan once said to His Highness? As long as Your Highness helps Guan Guan find the cause of his father's death, Guan Guan is willing to serve His Highness for the rest of his life!"
"Your Highness is a prince. The situation in the court is unclear now, so I want to do my best. Besides, if Miss Shen gets emotional when she sees Guan Guan here, wouldn't it delay His Highness's great cause!"
Qin Yun paused and seemed to agree. With Shen Yue's temper, whether he could accept it or not, there would be a fire in the inner courtyard, which was not what he wanted to see.
Moreover, Qiongzhou needs a trustworthy person in charge!
Qin Yun thought about it and still respected Liu Guanguan's idea. He was not a macho man. If he wanted to start a career, he would naturally support it.
Qin Yun said: "Forget it, I will send Butler Wang to go with you! When we get there, safety is the first priority. If you miss me, just write a letter!"
Liu Guanguan bowed slightly: "I'm going here to serve as king and open up a large rear area for His Highness. Your Highness doesn't need to worry about my safety. Has Your Highness forgotten that I still have this thing?"
Liu Guanguan patted the gun bag on his waist. Qin Yun laughed loudly and took Liu Guanguan in his arms: "If I have one person in Guan Guan, it's like I have half the world!"
"Your Highness, you are serious!"
The two of them are very affectionate, and Yang Yong on the side has long been used to it.
In the evening, a family banquet was held in Prince Liang's Mansion.
Participating in this banquet were Tieniu, Tiexiong, Wang Menghu, Liu Guanguan, and the few people who initially followed Qin Yun.
In fact, the Jin Yiwei who was sent had already been part of Wang Menghu's operations and had been replaced by one of his own.
"Steward Wang, this time I asked you to go to Qiongzhou. I know that Steward Wang is not angry, but at this moment, the capital is a whirlpool, and I need a piece of pure land!"
"Master Lu, you guys should go too!"
As soon as this statement came out, Wang Menghu was the first to stand up and object: "Your Majesty, let me stay!"
Lu Ban also paused: "Your Highness, when we go to Qiongzhou, who will help His Highness build things?"
Qin Yun shook his head: "Since you all trust me, I will hide it! When things happen in the capital, I will also go to Qiongzhou. Where can I find my true place of Longxing!"
When the words came to this point, everyone's hearts sank.
It was obvious that Qin Yun was ready to retreat to a corner.
"Guanguan, the first priority when I go to Qiongzhou is to build a sugar factory as soon as possible. With the purification method I gave you and the equipment built by Master Lu, I think it will not be difficult."
Liu Guanguan nodded slightly: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will definitely live up to my mission!"
Qin Yun raised his glass: "Everyone, no matter what happens in the court in three years, I will call you back! I hope that by then, we will be drinking together in the Golden Palace."
When everyone heard this, their blood boiled with excitement. The prince wanted to fight for the dragon, and they were the ones who followed the dragon!
After the dinner, Wang Menghu found Qin Yun alone.
"My lord, if you want to develop from a local place, you don't have to choose a remote place like Qiongzhou. Apart from sea salt, which is useful, there are too few other resources!"
Qin Yundao said: "Who said Qiongzhou has few resources? I am asking you to go forward this time just to take the front line, and of course to leave a way out!"
"Compared to those brothers, I have almost no trump card in my hand. If I want to win the big position, I must take extraordinary measures. If I send you to a resource-rich place, firstly, it will attract their attention. Secondly, It’s easy for the other party to come and cause trouble.”
Wang Menghu nodded: "I understand! Here is a list of secrets that I buried around the capital. After I and others leave, the prince can use these secrets!"
Qin Yun's eyes lit up when he looked at the list of hundreds of people in his hand. With this list, he felt more confident!
"Mr. Wang, thank you!"
Wang Menghu said meaningfully to him: "I just hope that the prince will remember his identity in the future, and everyone should pay homage to Prince Liang whenever possible."
Qin Yun smiled.
"Will do!"
