Too many people have forgotten that child back then

"Master, my subordinates only found that several ethnic groups in Desert, Desolation, Northern Xinjiang, and Loulan have signed contracts with Gu Shuo, so I guess that the Shuiyuan tribe has also signed some kind of contract with the Gu family." The guard reported back.

A trace of doubt flashed in Xi Liuyuan's indifferent eyes. Except for a few places in Loulan, other ethnic groups did not trade at all.

Even if he couldn't open up business in those places in Xi'an, why did the Gu family choose to work among remote ethnic groups?

Do they want to build a second Nanyuan?

"Desert, desolate, representatives of several tribes in the northwest brought a lot of seeds with them in the car when they left, and my subordinates took some." The hidden guard placed the seeds wrapped in cloth in his arms on the table.

Xi Liuyuan stretched out his hand to pick up a small seed and looked at it carefully. Some of them he recognized as seeds of melons and fruits, but some he couldn't distinguish at the moment.

"Bring these seeds back to Xi'an and have them planted."

"Yes." The hidden guard accepted the order.

Xi Liuyuan turned his head and looked into the distance, his eyes falling in the direction of Xianhai Tower.

The seeds taken by Nanyuan back then were very strange. This time they chose to cooperate with these ethnic groups in the desert, just to take them out of poverty?

Are you really going through all the trouble without any purpose?

If there is a plot, what is there to plot in places like desolate deserts, where not a single blade of grass grows and the ethnic groups are remote?

He couldn't understand.

Bei Li Palace, Imperial Study Room.

Emperor Beili was discussing the drought in the north with several officials.

Eunuch Li came in, holding the letter in his hands: "Your Majesty, this is an urgent letter from Mr. Li Mu."

"Send it up." Emperor Beili's voice sounded more energetic than it sounded ten years ago.

Eunuch Li presented the letter.

Emperor Beili opened it and looked at the contents of the letter. When he saw the first page, he was overjoyed and his heart was filled with joy.

"It seems that the contract between Mr. Li and Nanyuan is about to be concluded." Prime Minister Gao guessed the reason when he saw the smile on the emperor's face.

"Hahahaha, yes, Li Mu is indeed a business wizard. Nanyuan has completely terminated the contract with Gu Shuo. He will cooperate with our Beili in the next ten years." Emperor Beili laughed.

"Master Li is really capable."

"It is a wise choice for Namyeon Fisheries and Bac Li to cooperate."

Several adults present started boasting after hearing this.

Emperor Beili couldn't stop smiling. He turned over the first page and his happy face suddenly stopped when he saw the content on the next page. His face gradually turned into shock and finally disbelief.

Several officials who saw this scene were frightened, and their smiles immediately stopped, and their expressions became tense, for fear that they might accidentally get into trouble.

"Ye Qianning." Emperor Beili subconsciously called out that name in horror.

Ye Qianning?

Several adults looked at each other, who is Ye Qianning?

In the past ten years, too many people have forgotten that child...

Only when Prime Minister Gao heard that name, the surprise in his eyes was no less than that of Emperor Beili. He was horrified and confused in his heart, how could the emperor suddenly mention Ye Qianning's name.

The child had been dead for ten years, and her name was taboo in the palace back then.

"Ye Qianning is still alive...?" After reading the letter, Emperor Beili's fingers trembling slightly as he held the letter, his face gloomy and horrified.

Prime Minister Gao's heart sank, and his eyes widened in shock: "Ye Qianning... is still alive? How is it possible...?"

The other three officials present pondered for a while and also remembered the name Ye Qianning.

The daughter that Xiang Minghou found ten years ago was very famous in Kyoto City at that time, but... she died ten years ago.
