Chapter 178: Take over the harbor and open up the source and reduce the expenditure
"In just half a year, we have expanded the recruitment of 300 people, the secret guard is not an ordinary soldier, it's not me pouring cold water, princess, is the quality of this secret guard guaranteed?"
Nightfrost looked at the blue mirror worriedly, she naturally hoped that the blue mirror would be successful, but the speed of this expansion was so unexpected that Nightfrost always subconsciously gave birth to many bad guesses.
His secret guard was questioned about his level, and Lan Jing was not annoyed, and said good-naturedly: "Don't worry, Yan Bing and Yan Xue are inexperienced, aren't there still the fourth ones, they are all the most elite secret guards in Jiangdu Palace, you can't believe the strength of Yan Xue and Yan Bing, and you can't believe the fourth one?" ”
Yeshuang thought about it carefully and was relieved, "Also, the fourth child has been a secret guard in the Jiangdu Palace's mansion for a longer time than the prince has been crowned king, and it is more than enough to train a few newcomers!" ”
Beitang Junlin listened to the chat between Blue Mirror and Night Frost, and suddenly said: "In Haicheng, if you want to do business, in fact, the restaurant is not the most profitable. ”
Blue Mirror turned her head sharply to look at Beitang King's Landing, "Do you have any good ideas?" ”
"The shipping of the two cities in the sea has always been unmanaged, whether it is the fishermen who go to sea, or the people who raise pearls, they are all scattered, many people die in the waves every year, and the things transported from the four seas and the purple country are particularly expensive, if someone manages the harbor in a unified manner, it is definitely a profitable deal."
"But, hasn't the harbor always been guarded by troops sent by the imperial court?" Blue Mirror looked at Beitang King's Landing suspiciously, "How can no one care?" ”
"The imperial court sent troops to guard it to prevent the people of other countries from making trouble in the harbor, but they didn't care about the business of the harbor, so if you take over the harbor, you will be the first merchant to do a large business in the harbor."
"That's a good idea." Lan Jing nodded, the abacus in his head was already crackling, and when Ye Ming came back from arranging meals, Lan Jing's eyes stared at him with bright eyes, "Do you know anyone who is very good at your shipbuilders?" ”
"Yes, but what are you doing asking about this, princess?" Night looked at the blue mirror weakly, and then looked at Beitang King's Landing, she had only been gone for so long, what was the princess doing?
However, Beitang King's Landing didn't say anything, just looked at him like that.
Lan Jing said with great interest: "I asked you about the shipbuilders, naturally for shipbuilding, you help me find a few more craftsmen, as long as they can make what I want, money is not a problem." ”
"Okay." Seeing that the North Hall King's Landing had no objection, Ye Ying agreed to Lan Jing's request, "My subordinates will let people go into the city to find it later, I don't know when the princess will use it?" ”
"Anytime." Lan Jing said decisively: "As long as you find people, I will pay them to buy materials now." ”
Ye Ming was a little shocked, "Princess, this is to build a water army?" ”
"Not really." Lan Jing shook his head, "Anyway, you just need to find the person I want, and the rest won't bother you." ”
The night is also happy, and if Blue Mirror doesn't look for him, he will naturally not be okay.
After a long time, the meal was also prepared, and the soldiers under the command of Ye Ying were temporarily arrested and entered the camp tent with sumptuous dishes, and Ye Xue also followed.
Seeing this, Blue Mirror and Night Frost both had round eyes, "It's really a feast for Haicheng, it's really all fish?" ”
Yeshuang looked at the various fish on the table in disbelief, and said to Yexue in disbelief: "This is the food you eat on weekdays, there are really no vegetables at all?" ”
Yeshuang pursed her lips and smiled, "It's not completely nothing, after all, we're just on the beach, not on the island, this is not the characteristic of Haicheng, let you feel it." ”
"I really feel the charm of the Haicheng feast!" Blue Mirror silently closed his eyes, "Come on, everyone, let's go!" ”
"Good!" Night Frost agreed, sat next to the blue mirror with chopsticks and was about to move, Ye Xue and Ye Ming did not sit down, Beitang Junlin said "sit down", and the two of them sat down with a little trepidation.
Lan Jing first sank a bowl of soup for Beitang King's Landing, and then he did it himself, "Hmm, it's so fresh, this fish is simply good, and it doesn't live up to the reputation of Haicheng's specialty at all!" ”
The blue mirror plays the upper body, as if he has really eaten something terrible, and the expression is incomprehensible.
Beitang King's Landing and Night Frost looked at Blue Mirror's exaggerated expression suspiciously, and each took a little bit of the fish that Blue Mirror had eaten, and put it in their mouths, their expressions were a little intriguing.
Yeshuang was also a very upright girl, and after carefully swallowing the fish, she asked with a simple face: "Princess, how did you eat an ordinary fish with such a curious taste?" ”
"Huh?" Blue Mirror is more puzzled than Night Frost: "Don't you think it's delicious?" ”
"Eh" Yeshuang hesitated for a long time between telling the truth and comforting Yeming, but still said honestly: "It's not bad, but it shouldn't be as delicious as you said, princess, the prince should think the same way, right?" ”
After following Blue Mirror for a long time, Night Frost has also learned to be obedient, but as long as his position is opposed to Blue Mirror, he will pull Beitang King's Landing as a foreign aid, regardless of whether Beitang King's Landing himself wants to or not, Blue Mirror's attention will be attracted by him, and he will be safe.
Sure enough, Lan Jing turned his head to look at Beitang King's Landing, "Do you think this fish is not so delicious?" ”
Beitang King's Landing luck is a little better than Night Frost, when Night Frost and Blue Mirror talked, he gave him a chance to think about the next words, hearing this, he shook his head and said: "Fortunately, I ate thick oil red sauce in restaurants in other places, and I tasted the fresh fragrance of fish here. ”
"Really?
Lan Jing was happy, and looked at Ye Shuang with disgusted eyes, "You just eat ginseng fruit all the time, eat it too fast, and you don't taste it at all!" ”
"Probably." Night Frost took another chopstick fish in front of the blue mirror and ate it, crying in her heart, "Lord, even if you want to please the princess, you don't need to do this, your subordinates are going to be killed by you......"
Night Frost's bitter expression made Ye Xue and Ye Ming want to laugh, and Lan Jing also smiled: "Okay, don't be so like me forcing you to eat poison, don't you have your own love, you don't like to eat, no one blames you, fill your stomach first, I'll cook for you after two days of rest, I guarantee that you like to eat." ”
"Really?"
Night Frost's eyes lit up, "Can I report the name of the dish according to the menu of Lingyan Pavilion?" ”
"Just stop in moderation, I'll make some home-cooked food, order so much, you can think about it, it's enjoyable." Lan Jing said with a smile: "You really think I am omnipotent, the chefs of Lingyan Pavilion are all first-class chefs, let me make their specialty dishes, but I can give you the ability to die!" ”
Night Frost shrunk her neck, "It's okay to cook at home, judging from your previous two cooking experiences, it's not always delicious, and I like home-cooked food too." ”
Blue Mirror looked up arrogantly, "It's pretty much the same!" ”
Yeshuang breathed a sigh of relief, buried himself in the rice, and the blue mirror was also hungry, so he stopped chatting, absorbed the storm, and paid tribute to his five internal organs temple.
It was already past noon when they arrived in Haicheng, and they had spent so much time that it had been a long time since they finished eating and were ready to do business.
Lan Jing stretched his waist, "Let's divide the soldiers into two ways, you go to the barracks by yourself to work, and I will take the night frost and night snow into the city to go shopping." ”
Beitang Junlin looked at her faintly, "You won't come back for three days as soon as you enter the city, right?" ”
"No, it won't." Lan Jing shook his head decisively, "It's just shopping, how big can Haicheng be, is there a place for me to go shopping for three days?" ”
It was obviously a small talk from the couple, and the night and the few who knew each other didn't bother, and the two chatted for a few words, and Lan Jing said goodbye to Beitang King's Landing, and took the night snow and night frost out of the barracks.
After walking out of the barracks for a long time, Ye Xue was still worried: "Princess, there are many people in the rivers and lakes here in Haicheng, let's bring a few more secret guards, right?" ”
Lan Jing couldn't bear it anymore, and opened his mouth and said: "Yexue, you are really very verbose!" ”
Yexue was disgusted by Blue Mirror's righteous words, so she shut up.
Ye Shuang looked at Ye Xue's cautious appearance, and couldn't help but laugh and said: "What are you nervous about, if there is really a thief who doesn't have long eyes and collides with the princess, isn't there still you and me, you and I are enough to deal with a small fight, if you really meet a master, a few more secret guards will not help!" ”
Ye Xue said helplessly: "You are used to finding some crooked reasons to prevaricate me!" ”
Night Frost and Night Snow were very familiar partners before, although they had been separated for a long time and reunited again, but they were not unfamiliar, hearing Ye Xue's words, Night Frost said: "It's really not prevaricating you, you and I are not low in cultivation, and the princess is even more powerful, and I can't beat the two together, so what are you worried about?" ”
When Ye Xue heard this, her complicated eyes fell on Lan Jing, "You can't beat the princess either, how sluggish have you been in cultivation in the past two years?" ”
Night Frost was so angry that she rolled her eyes, "What, I've never been lazy about cultivation, it's the princess's Xuan power that has improved too fast, half a year ago when she was still in Lan Zhao Kingdom, she still didn't have any Xuan power, and now it's not too hard to do it with the prince, how do you say I can beat her?" ”
The more Ye Shuang said, the more strange Ye Xue's eyes became when she looked at the blue mirror, until finally, Ye Xue finally said, "Doesn't the princess have any special cultivation methods?" ”
"I don't know." Nightfrost shook her head: "You ask the princess!" ”
Lan Jing listened to the words of the two people in front of him, deliberately slowed down, and waited for Yeshuang and Yexue to get closer before he said: "There is no special mental method, in fact, until now, I haven't figured out what kind of power Xuanli is, I think it is probably my ignorance that is conducive to my cultivation, so since I left Yongdu, I have never studied the essence of Xuanli." ”
"Because you don't understand the essence of Xuan Li, you instead cultivate Divine Speed?" Ye Xue looked at the blue mirror with a look in her eyes, as if she was looking at a fool, "Princess, are you joking with us?" ”
"Not really." Lan Jing shook his head, "I know that few people will believe this kind of thing, and I myself think it's incredible, but it's true, I can't help but believe it." ”
