After taking down Lin Wanyun, Lu Chen's whole person was refreshed, although he didn't sleep for a night, but because of the great grandmaster's physique, he was not sleepy at all now.

Lu Chen sat at the table in the main hall, eating breakfast and humming a little song.

At this time, Mu Zixuan was feeding the child not far away, and seeing that Lu Chen was so happy early this morning, Mu Zixuan asked curiously: "Lord Wang, did you encounter something happy just now?" ”

Lu Chen put down the bowl in his hand and asked, "How can you see it?" ”

Mu Zixuan laughed, and then said: "After the prince came back, he kept humming a little song, and his mood was written on his face, and the concubine body could naturally see it. ”

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Yes, it seems that I can't hide things at all." ”

At this time, Lu Chen suddenly thought of something, and then said: "By the way, I obtained a method of making salt not long ago, it happens that the east of the northern country is near the sea, you can recruit some workers to make salt in the east at that time." ”

Hearing this, Mu Zixuan was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Lord, does the palace also want to dry salt, is it a little inappropriate to leave this matter to the concubine?" ”

Lu Chen said suspiciously: "Concubine Ai, you should have heard about it a long time ago, the imperial court has canceled the official camp of the salt industry, and we, the vassal kings, can also make our own salt." ”

Mu Zixuan said: "The concubine body does not mean this, the concubine body means that the ownership of the salt industry management rights is of great importance, and it should be handed over to the small court in the north." ”

Although some of the functions and powers of the current Northern Palace, the small court of the Northern Kingdom and the Northern Kingdom are not completely separated, for example, the money earned by the Northern Palace, will be transferred to the treasury of the Northern Kingdom from time to time, but people also know that as the regime of the Northern Kingdom gradually stabilizes, the small court of the Northern Kingdom and the Northern Imperial Mansion will definitely have to be divided to a certain extent, such as the fact that the harem cannot interfere in politics and other things will have to be raised sooner or later.

Although the Great Xia Imperial Court has released the right to operate the salt industry, if the right to operate the salt industry is released in a remote place like the northern country, the price of salt will rise slowly that day, and the common people will already be very poor, if the price of salt rises too outrageously, the common people will not be able to eat salt at that time.

It is better to have unified management of the salt industry, the salt industry management right represents politics, Mu Zixuan knows that she is just Lu Chen's princess, a woman, and the harem cannot meddle in politics casually.

Salt production is not an economic issue, but a political one.

If Lu Chen has to let her intervene in the management of salt production, it means that Lu Chen's plan is to let go of the salt industry management rights, because the management rights are liberalized, whoever makes salt is the same, and there is no such thing as her interfering in politics, but once the salt industry management rights are released, it is easy for the price of salt to rise wildly.

Hearing Mu Zixuan say this, Lu Chen instantly understood what she meant, and then said: "The matter of drying salt doesn't need to be handed over to the officials, just let the people in the palace dry the salt, and the production method I got is better, the salt that comes out is high-quality salt, there will be no bitter taste, and I don't want the salt making method to be leaked out for the time being." ”

"As for the issue of the right to operate the salt industry, this can be easily solved, and when the time comes, part of the profits from the salt drying in the palace will be handed over to the state treasury, and I will set up a salt monopoly bureau, which is only responsible for selling salt, not for salt production."

Anyway, this era is still a family in the world, and even the entire northern kingdom is his, what is it for him to let the palace make salt, and the method of salt making itself is taken out by him, and it is already very good for him to hand over part of the proceeds from the sale of salt to the national treasury.

For now, he alone has the final say in the northern kingdom, and the small court is all his people, and no one will say anything.

There are so many industries in the royal palace, and there is no official in the northern kingdom who dares to say that the royal palace competes with the people for profit.

Of course, this is only Lu Chen can do this, if other vassal kings want to do this, those families will definitely jump out against it.

Mu Zixuan said: "The concubine understands, and the concubine will transfer some workers to the beach to make salt later." ”

Lu Chen immediately seized the time to eat, and after breakfast, he got up and left the main hall and went to the courtyard where Wang Qici was.

When he left the study just now, the maid told him that Wang Tianci had come to him last night, and there was a high probability that something was wrong with Wang Tianci.

However, as soon as Lu Chen walked out of the main hall, he saw a figure in a red dress leaning against the courtyard wall, Wang Qianci's S-shaped figure looked extremely attractive, convex and backward and plump.

Before the king could speak, Lu Chen said with a smile: "What is the matter with the lord of the royal building looking for this king?" ”

Wang Tianci replied with a smile: "The slave family is looking for you, naturally there is important information. ”

"The prince has really been in a hurry lately, and the slave family has to wait for one night to report information to you."

Lu Chen walked in front of Wang Qianci at this time, and his paws were naturally placed on her willow waist, "Lord Wang, are you going to Ling's room or to my study?" ”

Hearing this question, Wang Qian glanced at Lu Chen, she knew that Lu Chen didn't sleep last night, so she didn't worry about Lu Chen scolding her later, so she said, "Let's go to the slave's room." ”

Lu Chen and Lin Wanyun stayed in the study for a night last night, and now the smell in the study is probably a little strong, anyway, she just reported the information to Lu Chen, and it was the same wherever she reported.

Lu Chen said, "Okay." ”

Then Lu Chen took Wang Qianci's willow waist and came to Wang Tianci's bedroom, and as soon as he entered the room, Lu Chen put her on the couch, and then pressed her up.

Wang Tianci was stunned for a moment, thinking that Lu Chen was going to get herself, but soon she found that she was thinking too much, after Lu Chen fell on the couch, he hugged Wang Tianci's waist and turned over, and hugged her in a sideways way, as if holding a pillow.

Lu Chen buried himself in her arms at this time, took a deep breath of the aroma and said: "Say, if there are any movements in the recent dynasties, you can report it directly, just put the paper information on the table in my study later, I didn't sleep last night, let me squint for a while." ”

Wang Tian came back to her senses, and she said, how could Lu Chen scare himself at this time, Lu Chen was busy in the study all night last night, even if he was a great grandmaster, he needed to rest.

Then Wang Tian resigned and let Lu Chen hold her soft and delicate body, she said: "The students of Huanyu Academy originally wanted to go through the Great Xia Dynasty and then come directly to the Northern Kingdom, but they were driven to the Great Wu Dynasty by the Northern Army, and the reason for the Great Xia Army was that they were afraid that they would spread the plague, so those students may need a while to reach the Northern Kingdom. ”

If it was directly from other counties of the Great Xia Dynasty, the students of the Huanyu Academy would be able to reach the northern kingdom after three months, but now they would have to pass through the Great Wu Dynasty by detour, and then they would have to pass through the Great Yue Dynasty, which would probably take four or five months to reach the northern country.

Lu Chen hugged Wang Tianci's nephrite jade body tightly, and said lightly: "I know, do you have any other information?" ”

Wang Tianci continued: "It is said that the eldest princess of the Dawu Dynasty went to the southwest region of Dawu to negotiate with the rebel leaders and intend to absorb the rebels. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen immediately raised his head from the warm fragrance of nephrite jade from Wang Tianci, and then turned sideways to look at Wang Tianci, "It shouldn't be her to negotiate, right?" She's a princess who runs to negotiate with the rebel leader? ”

Wang Tianci said: "At first, it was indeed not her who went, at first it was Emperor Wu who wanted to use force to quell the rebellion, and at the same time, in order to accumulate some merits for his two sons, he let his two sons lead troops to exterminate the rebels, but his two sons suffered defeats, resulting in heavy losses for them." ”

"Under the persuasion of Prime Minister Chai Jiliang, Emperor Wu agreed to the peace talks again, because Princess Dawu has always had a good reputation among the people, so he chose to let her negotiate with the rebel leader."

When Lu Chen heard Wang Tian's words, Lu Chen said with a smile: "It's a bit interesting, it seems that in a few decades, this world will be only with the empress again."

"But then again, since ancient times, there has been no half-talk about rebellion, and those rebel leaders should not agree to surrender to the Dawu Imperial Court, right?"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Wang Qian said with a smile: "Lord Wang, this is a wrong guess, the slave family has heard that among the rebels in the southwest of Dawu, some of the rebel leaders have already planned to surrender and choose to join the eldest princess." ”

This......

Lu Chen was stunned again.

Half of the rebellion is made, and those guys are not afraid of being settled by the autumn queen when the time comes?

Lu Chen asked, "Is this news accurate?" ”

Wang Tianci replied: "Precisely, there are indeed rebels who plan to surrender to the Dawu Imperial Court, but there are also some rebels who just don't surrender, and those rebels who don't surrender are basically families in the southwest of Dawu." ”

Lu Chen smiled, those families do have no way out, if they are ordinary people, even if they rebel, the ruler may choose not to blame the people in the end because there are too many people, but those families are different, those families rebelled obviously to overthrow the rule of the Dawu royal family, even if they surrendered, they would definitely be liquidated in the end, so the war in Dawu will continue for a while.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen was relieved, the situation in Great Xia is also relatively chaotic now, if Dawu eases up at this time, it is not good to use the character of the Martial Emperor, he will immediately send troops to attack Great Xia.

Although Lu Chen is not the emperor of Great Xia now, in his eyes, the entire Great Xia Dynasty will be his own sooner or later, and he doesn't want to see Great Xia occupied by Great Wu.

At this time, Wang Tianci continued: "In addition, there is also information about the Dayue Dynasty. ”

Lu Chen said curiously: "Da Yue's information? Has something happened to Da Yue lately? ”

Compared with other dynasties, Da Yue has always been relatively calm, except for the 200,000 troops they stationed in the border area of the northern country, there has been no movement.

Wang Qian said: "The barbarians are heading south, and the 200,000 troops of Dayuetun in the border area of the northern country have gradually been transferred to the northwest region to fight against the barbarians. ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen fell into deep thought.

Although the main tribes of the barbarians in the north have been wiped out by them, in fact there are not many barbarians in the north, and the barbarians are divided into several large tribes, and these tribes have their own royal courts.

Originally, these tribes were unified, but after the death of one of their great commanders, these tribes established themselves as kings, among which the Heavenly Wolf King tribe and the Beixian King tribe moved to the Northland, while the other tribes remained in the Northwest Region.

Da Yue, like Da Xia, will be attacked by barbarian tribes every year, and the number of barbarian tribes in the northwest region far exceeds that in the north, so the barbarians in the northwest region will bring great pressure to Da Yue when they go south.

Lu Chen thought in his heart that now Da Yue had to resist the barbarian invasion, which meant that the major dynasties had no time to pay attention to themselves now.

It's time to incorporate the Northlands into the Northlands!

After the northern land is incorporated into the northern kingdom, the area of the northern kingdom is likely to directly exceed that of the Great Xia Dynasty, and when the northern kingdom develops again, it will not be a problem for him to directly claim the emperor in the northern kingdom in the future.

Thinking of this, the corners of Lu Chen's mouth rose slightly, and he buried his head again in the warm fragrance of nephrite jade that Wang said, and then continued to sleep with his eyes closed.

At this time, the king said: "That's all the information that the slave family wants to report, what do you have to say, prince?" ”

Lu Chen asked in Wang Tanci's arms, "Has the Qian family made any moves recently?" ”

Wang replied: "The Qian family has been more active recently, but compared to some time ago, they are more low-key. ”

Lu Chen said, "Keep staring at them." ”

The king said, "Yes, my lord. ”

Lu Chen then took a deep breath of the aroma on Wang Tianci's body again, and then said, "Okay, if it's okay, don't talk if it's okay, let me sleep with my arms." ”

Hearing this, Wang Tianci smiled slightly, and then stopped talking, her delicate chin rested on the top of Lu Chen's head, and then raised her jade arm to hug Lu Chen.

Holding Wang's soft delicate body, Lu Chen soon fell asleep.

Time flies, and it didn't take long for the day when Zhou Youyou was about to give birth.

Lu Chen has not left the palace recently, and he was also in the palace on the day Zhou Youyou gave birth, and Lu Chen came to Zhou Youyou's delivery room early in the morning to wait.

With Lu Chen standing by his bedside, Zhou Youyou was not worried about what would happen later.

At this time, Lin Wanyun followed Chu Yuqin and them to stand outside the delivery room and wait, Lin Wanyun's thoughts were a little confused, Lu Chen had been doing male and female things with her for the past few days, trying to make her pregnant with a child, she felt that she had been completely imprinted with Lu Chen's mark.

As soon as she thought that she would give birth to Lu Chen in the future, a touch of crimson appeared on Lin Wanyun's face, and her face was extremely hot.

No, no, she has to quickly find where the antidote is and help Rong Rong escape, she can't keep thinking about giving birth to this little villain, and when she conceives a child, she doesn't know that the Year of the Monkey is gone.

At this time, Chu Yuqin looked at Lin Wanyun from the side and said, "Sister Lin, why is your face so red?" ”

Lin Wanyun came back to her senses and hurriedly said, "Oh, I'm fine, I've been a little crazy in the past few days." ”

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin was stunned for a moment.

Gone mad?

Then Chu Yuqin found that there were also a lot of red marks on Lin Wanyun's neck like those on Chu Qingli's neck, Chu Yuqin said: "Sister Lin, why did you practice and go crazy?" ”

Lin Wanyun said in confusion: "Could it be that there are still other people in the palace who have gone crazy in practice?" ”

Chu Yuqin said: "Yes, Qing Li has often gone mad in the past few months, you look at the red marks on her neck, those red marks are left when she practiced and went mad." ”

"It's strange to say, why do you go crazy in practice, so many red-purple marks will appear on your necks."

Hearing this, Lin Wanyun and Chu Qingli who were not far away were stunned, Lin Wanyun and Chu Qingli turned their heads to look at each other at the same time, and found that the mark on the other party's neck was indeed the same as their own.

Seeing this scene, Chu Qingli snorted coldly in his heart, that womanizer didn't even let Lin Wanyun go.

She found out that as long as there was a beautiful woman in the inner courtyard, Lu Chen didn't plan to let it go.

No, she hurried to complete the deal with Lu Chen, and then rescued her sister.

After all this period of hard work, there are not many transactions left between her and Lu Chen, and she has to speed up.

Although it was already clear that each other's bodies and minds were probably already in the shape of Lu Chen, Chu Qingli and Lin Wanyun both tacitly did not say it, and the two of them turned their heads to look at the delivery room at the same time, pretending that this incident had not happened.
