Zhu Yuanjin didn't expect that someone would come earlier than her. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Since the princess has a guest," Concubine Pei smiled with a gentle and considerate face, got up and said to Qinglan and Yuan Jin: "Don't disturb the two of you to catch up." ”

Qinglan politely sent the person away, and when she turned around, she ushered in the fire of gossip that was burning in Yuan Jin.

"Why did she come to you?"

Because of Zhu Yuanrong's relationship, Zhu Yuanjin has always been vigilant and hostile to other women in the prince's mansion.

Qinglan didn't answer, and led Zhu Yuanjin to her "cake" room, and Qinglan named the house Xinxiangju.

"Taste, this is Laoshan's new green tea this year."

Zhu Yuanjin glanced at it, put the tea bowl aside, and continued the question just now, "Why did the person surnamed Pei come to you?" ”

"Guess." Qinglan blew on the tea noodles and took a shallow sip.

Well~ The tea I grow is different, and I feel sweet in my heart~

"For the sake of the Pei family's water master?"

The imperial court asked Pei Jiajun to lay off troops, on the grounds that the sailors were redundant, and now that the pirates were almost wiped out, too much manpower and financial resources would be wasted if the sailors were too heavy.

This is the official explanation, in fact, Dashun signed maritime trade agreements with the Netherlands and other countries, and many ministers believe that there will be no more waves along the coast, at least there will be no big fluctuations, so the sailors should not be too much.

Duanwang, the admiral of the water division, was ordered by the emperor himself, and the ministers adhered to the principle of picking soft persimmons, and first tested the water with Pei Qingzhi.

Qinglan shook her head, "I can't control Pei Qingzhi's affairs, guess again." ”

Zhu Yuanjin stretched out his finger and compared two.

The second grandson born to Concubine Pei has just turned five years old this year, and the crown prince has not yet ascended the throne, so she is anxious to fight for the crown prince, is she too anxious?

Qinglan still shook her head and told the truth: "She wants to partner with me to make a deal." ”

"She?" Yuan Jin understood after a little thought, "She wants to do shipping?" Yuan Jin couldn't help but think of the words that her husband had said to herself.

Nowadays, shipping is a veritable piece of big fat meat, a river is often silted up or diverted, and the imperial court has to come up with a large amount of money every year to dredge, but the transportation system is complex, and the family has many involvement, resulting in less and less income from the imperial court.

If the north-south transportation is diverted to the sea, the annual maintenance cost is extremely low, not to mention, it will also drive the development of the coastal economy and the construction of ports.

Emperor Jingtai is also for the good of his son, and he moves his whole body, and before the prince sits on the throne, it is not appropriate to have too many contradictions with the family.

Second, with the abundance of overseas trade in Dashun, the surrounding countries have frequent exchanges, and the number of voyages is bound to increase. Shipping has such a rich "money" scene and upside, and it is not uncommon for this piece of "fat" on the anchor surnamed Pei.

Qinglan shook her head again, Concubine Pei and the Pei family are far away, far more than just shipping. "She wants to join forces with me to build a railway line from Jiaozhou to Jiangnan."

Yuan Jin frowned, "Train? "That's the word, isn't it?

"Yes, it's a train."

Although Zhu Yuanfang was based in Jiaozhou, Zhu Guogong and his group of people were not idle in the capital, in addition to studying more advanced artillery fire, Qinglan's steam engine and engine were also within the scope of their daily research.

Concubine Pei must have heard the prince mention it, so she had such a thought.

The profits of the railway are far more than that of sea trade, and the key is that the return of funds is fast, the timeliness is long, and it is much safer than that of Hainan Airlines.

Yuan Jin snorted: "She has a good calculation!" ”

"What's more, she can not only join hands with me, but also cooperate with others to build the railway to all parts of Dashun. When the time comes..."

When the time comes, the lifeblood of a country will be in her hands, and she can attack and retreat.

Yuan Jin was a little anxious, "You definitely didn't promise her!" Right? "If you really let the surnamed Pei do such a thing, then my sister and nephew... Isn't it dangerous?!

The old god Qinglan took a sip of tea while he was there, "Well..."

Yuan Jin stared straight.

"How could I possibly promise her!" Qinglan put down the tea bowl, "Besides, I didn't count this matter." ”

It is not easy to state the railway in a feudal dynasty with a royal family, mainly because people do not have this kind of ideology, and always feel that state-owned is equal to royal private ownership. So Qinglan intends to...

"Hey, I'll tell you something, you'll have to know sooner or later anyway." It is estimated that Qu Wanying will come to you in the next few days.

Qinglan instantly came back to her senses, "You said." ”

"That Liu Rusheng... It's Wanying's life-saving benefactor, the reddish one..."

Qinglan interrupted her intently, "What? "What's the moth again?

"He's dead."

Yes?!

"How did you die?" Knowing that Wanying must be very sad about this matter, but Qinglan just can't suppress the little excitement in her heart, Liu Ru's life and death are good, our Xiaobao has finally come out!!

"King Yu was arrested and died on the spot."

Ho! Liu Rusheng is quite bold, did my sister blame him before?

"Why did you assassinate King Yu?" In order to report... Humiliated hatred?

Yuan Jin pouted, "I thought you would ask King Yu how he was first." ”

Qinglan then remembered that King Yu was her "pro" uncle. "It shouldn't be a big deal, right?" I didn't hear Thirteen say it, so it's not a big deal.

"King Yu has become a eunuch." After Yuan Jin finished speaking, she couldn't hold back at first, and laughed.

Belch...

This plot is really bloody!

Wait, why did Liu Rusheng suddenly get into trouble? Who's instigated it? Or... Whose man is he?

It's no wonder that Qinglan thinks everything is so complicated, mainly at this juncture, she can't be allowed to just listen to it as a joke!

Who is it? Are you forcing Prince Yu to stand in line?

"Has this all been spread?"

Yuan Jin took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, "I know everything I should know." Your tea tastes very strong~"

It seems that some people can't see Prince Yu relying on the old and selling the old, and he is flattered by both ends, or even more.

"When did this happen?" Qinglan filled Yuan Jin with water, "(This tea) is stronger in the second place. ”

Yuan Jin paused, "On the seventh night of the first month." ”

Today twelve, that is, before thirteen returns. Prince Yu was stabbed in the front foot, and returned to Beijing on the back foot of the thirteenth. As we all know, Qu Wanying is her good sister, and this pot is back...

In this way, Prince Yu... It's hard to say where it will stand.

Interestingly, this thunder was cleverly buried.

"You..." Yuan Jin was a little hesitant in her heart, but thinking of her husband's instructions, she still spoke: "Don't you go to see Wanying recently, okay?" ”

Qinglan sighed first and then smiled, "I guess she doesn't want to see me at this time." ”

I was a politician first, and her friend second.

******

The next day was Lu Gong's birthday, and Qinglan and his family were invited to Lu's family to celebrate his birthday.

Lu Gong..., how to say it, outsiders know almost nothing about him, he doesn't go out, he doesn't do business, he doesn't care about household chores, and he rarely even shows up. (Hardcore otaku?) ）

He doesn't love beauty, he doesn't love antique calligraphy and painting, even domestic servants rarely see him in person, and they rarely hear about him outside.

Many people think that the reason why Lu Gong was able to become the head of the Lu family was because of his good fate, he was reincarnated in the belly of the lady of the main room, and he was destined to have a smooth and wealthy life as soon as he was born.

Even if he is a fool and can only gnaw his toes, but he is the eldest son and the legitimate heir of the Lu family, and he will become the next Duke Lu and the head of the Lu family.

But Qinglan knew that many families in the capital also knew that this Duke Lu was not only the descendant of the Lu family, but also the best leader in the Lu family's life, just by seeing him acting so cautiously, you could get a glimpse of it.

When Mingyu got married, Qinglan was unable to participate in office, but as far as the description of Lu Gong after Shu and his wife came back, this old gentleman seems... The temperament is very free and easy, and it has reached the point of being natural.

If such a person has not deeply grasped the essence of Lao Zhuang's thoughts, or the city government is extremely deep, Qinglan secretly thinks that Lu Gong is the latter, because his free and easy is not out of the ordinary.

The so-called infestation with the world is because you are in control, or do you disdain to compete with too weak opponents?

Qinglan suddenly had a whim, if one day the Lu family and the Lin family face each other... Who will have the last laugh?

I didn't expect that a few years later, such a situation would really happen.

Qinglan thought that she had the potential to "plan ahead". (Fart's prophecy potential, you're a crow's beak potential!) ）

On the carriage, Thirteen pinched his eyebrows heavily.

"Father... Haven't woken up yet? ”

Emperor Jingtai has been in a coma for several days, and several princes take turns to serve in the palace.

Thirteen shook his head silently, and Qinglan wrapped his arms around him, interlocking his fingers with him, silently comforting.

Even the emperor could not avoid death. When you are born, the result is predestined, so don't live up to the time you lived, and be sure to do what you want to do so that you don't regret it in the future.

In silence, the carriage arrived in front of the Lu Mansion.

Because the emperor was seriously ill, Lu Gong's sixtieth birthday only invited acquaintances and friends.

As one of the ancient countries, China is like a towering tree, and the family is the deep roots rooted in the soil, which are intricately entangled, which is China's politics in the past.

Just like Qinglan and Lu Yuanniang, they are concubines and in-laws, enemies and opponents.

But this does not prevent the two from talking and joking affectionately, nor does it prevent the two from working together to "bully" others, and even does not prevent the two of them from being like sisters, coaxing Old Man Lu to be happy.

On the surface, he is as harmonious as his family, but in his heart he is full of calculations, and I am afraid that he has thought of the thousandth and first ways to die of the other party.

Look, Qinglan smiled with a solid and sincere face, calculating the thoughts and positions of the guests in her heart, and the attitude towards several political forces between her words, this is the diplomatic etiquette of politicians.

After eating the birthday banquet in a harmonious atmosphere, Qinglan said goodbye to everyone in the Lu family, looking at Lu Yuanniang's smile, Qinglan thought in her heart that if Lu San had half of Lu Yuanniang, then the Shu family would not worry about the future.

As soon as the carriage door closed, Qinglan put down her souring cheeks and rubbed her stiff forehead.

As usual, the two didn't say anything on the road, and only after returning to their hometown did they completely take off the shell of defense.

Fortunately, they still have a home, and the prince... But even the secret room can't stop.

No wonder he cried like that, the prince was bitter, but he couldn't say anything, he couldn't show it, but he had to do enough to "control everything" every day, and everyone had to cry.

"What does Lee Demin want?" In private, the two of them call these princes by name and surname.

Thirteen twisted his neck tiredly, "Sailor, Ship Division and Jiaozhou." Oh, and rubber. ”

What a lion's mouth! I'm not afraid to break myself!

"What did he get in exchange?" Qinglan likes to stand in front of the window on the second floor and watch the scenery, and the large open space to the east is ready to be built into a huge labyrinth.

"Railroad." Thirteen knew that the benefits of the railway were huge, so he didn't refuse, thinking that he would come back and discuss with his daughter-in-law before making a decision.

Qinglan laughed angrily, "Railway? "It's like your family, this is Dashun's, it belongs to the people of Dashun!

"He promised not to get involved in the railroad business."

"Yes, one Pei Qingzhi is enough." It was enough to give the prince a headache. Infighting is often the best way to consume strength, but Concubine Pei seems to be bound to the railway.

"Thirteen, if you blindly let Li Demin sit big, the consequences will be unimaginable." Qinglan knew that the prince wanted to sacrifice the interests of them, or even more people, to sit on the throne, and she Shu Qinglan knew which was more important and was willing to sacrifice for the prince. It's just like this... There are endless troubles!

"I understand," Thirteen sighed and said with a wry smile: "But Li Demin is staring at you and I can't let go, I can only say that my daughter-in-law is really capable." ”

Qinglan took a deep breath and looked at Thirteen seriously: "Tell them, I don't want the railway, and Jiaozhou can also take it, we don't want anything." ”

Thirteen's eyes widened in surprise, "Daughter-in-law, don't be angry, you won't..."

"I'm not angry," Qinglan made a grimace when she saw the disbelief on his face, "I'm really not angry, these are gone, and my sister can earn more." ”

Sailor, Jiaozhou, Train, Ship Division... These were not built in a day, how many people's efforts were spent at the beginning, but the daughter-in-law said don't want it, this, this, how much courage it is!

"Really... Can you do it or not? "To be honest, Thirteen is still a little reluctant to set up the sailor with his own hands, and the Longshun and Qilu.

"Hmm!" Qinglan walked up to Thirteen, picked up his handsome face and kissed him fiercely, "As long as our family can be safe, those things can be earned again." ”

How can we be safe? At present, only by putting the crown prince on the throne can his family live in peace.

Thirteen gently stroked his daughter-in-law's lower abdomen, "Don't worry." ”

Big brother won't let us down.

"But," Qinglan smiled slyly, "we know we can give up, but they don't. "The prince doesn't know, and never will.

Thirteen's chest shook sullenly, "Haha, let's not say anything." ”

Ask for a price all over the sky, sit on the ground and pay back, let them open their mouths to exchange for ~!
