Chapter 338: The Princess Goes Away
Li Yunxing thought it was interesting, he didn't expect Su Miaoxue to have such talent, so he told Jinxi to go outside to find a teacher who taught arithmetic, if it was really as Aunt Dan said, maybe Su Miaoxue would really be a big help to him in the future.
At night, Jiang Shan brought in a man wearing a black cloak, and the man lifted the cloak, it was Palai.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, according to your orders, we have loaded three thousand horses of silk, and the convoy has been assembled."
Li Yunxing nodded.
"Tell me to go down, and I can act in about two days, and before that, no one is allowed to leak the news, otherwise I will only ask you."
Palai nodded, he knew that the importance of this operation was not just a matter of these three thousand silks, but through this time, the route to the Western Regions could be completely opened, and there would be a steady stream of transactions in the future.
He had been staying up late for several days in a row, and he was on duty normally during the day, only daring to prepare for this operation at night, and all the people involved were people he had carefully selected and truly trusted.
Although he has pressed all his net worth into it, he still has some doubts.
"It's not that the minister doesn't trust His Royal Highness the Prince, it's just that silk is unique to my Wu Dynasty, and everyone in the Western Regions has never seen it, so he rashly sent three thousand horses, in case he couldn't sell it......"
Li Yunxing looked at him with a smile, since he had such questions, he should have asked them earlier, but now that everything is ready, he has to send it, but it is a little too late to ask such a question.
"Don't worry, I've been to the Otsutsuki Clan before, and I brought a cart of silk with me, and the people there are very interested in silk."
At that time, even in order to buy this car of silk, many women almost competed, but unfortunately, in the end, he gave all the car of silk to Ming Jiaojiao, those women could see it, could not touch it, and it was estimated that they should be more worried about it.
It was precisely because he had personally seen their attitude towards silk that Li Yunxing dared to propose such a plan after he came back.
When Palai heard this, he was finally relieved, he had stayed up for too many days, and he was finally able to rest well for the night when he went back today.
He had a rare good night's sleep, and early the next morning, he went to Shaofu to be on duty with full spirit, and as soon as he walked in, he heard his colleagues gathering together and whispering.
Ever since the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Xianwang had come to him one after another, he had become well-known among his colleagues, and many people had come to him, and he still expressed his attitude of respectful and distant as before.
Slowly, those colleagues found that the crown prince and the virtuous king had never appeared again, and Palai had not been promoted, and was still a little young man, and those people turned from the original compliment to disdain, and began to ignore him again.
He happened to deal with the things ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at night, and he didn't want to bother to socialize with people, so he was happy, and today he returned to his place, and he could still hear the gossip of his colleagues in his ears.
"I heard that the envoy of this mission is the princess of the Otsutsuki clan, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ready to appoint someone to greet him, and he will personally go to the Otsuki clan to pick up the princess."
"Even if the princess of the Dayue clan comes over, it is only as an envoy, and our Wu Dynasty has never had the custom of picking up envoys."
"Alas, it's not that Zuvir has just regained power, what he is most distressed about is this daughter, I heard that this time he sent his daughter over, just to let his daughter find a good son-in-law in the Wu Dynasty, he wants to form an alliance with the Wu Dynasty."
Although the Dayue clan only occupies a corner of the Western Regions, it is also very important, if you can form an alliance with it, you can join forces to fight against the Xiongnu, and even open up the trade routes of the Western Regions, which is very important.
Obviously, at these moments, the colleagues who are concerned about the situation in the court also realize the importance of this trip, if this matter is done well, it will be a great achievement, if you can take the opportunity to win the favor of the princess and marry her, the future will be unlimited.
Everyone looked at each other, and their eyes were full of greed and eagerness.
But in the end, someone sighed heavily.
"What we can figure out, people have already figured it out, such a good thing, where can it be our turn? Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally appoints it, it is estimated that it is also the people of Honglu Temple. ”
One shook his head and said.
"This is not necessarily, who doesn't know that Qi Ming of Honglu Temple and Zai Fu Liu Zhongqing are standing all the way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the most disgusted, and he will definitely not appoint his people."
"Yes, yes, I heard inside information, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has prepared a heavy gift, it has been decided to send soldiers from the southeast camp and the northwest camp to escort it, as for the envoys, I heard that one of the Shaofu will be selected."
But there are so many departments in Shaofu, and their dyeing and weaving department has no power or ability, and they are the most obscure, so they will definitely not be chosen here.
Many of their colleagues began to sigh again.
Among them, Palay held the pen tightly in his hand, but the whole person was nervous.
He had been ordered by the crown prince to help him secretly prepare chariots, horses and silk, but he didn't know how to send them to the Western Regions, and he didn't dare to ask if it was planned by His Royal Highness the Prince, so he was always worried in his heart.
Although he had learned from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince yesterday that in recent days, he would be able to set off with silk, but he still didn't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was planning.
It turned out that he did not want to secretly transport the silk to the Western Regions, but to transport it in full view of everyone and justifiably.
And this also involves such a big thing as Zuwei sending his daughter to the Wu Dynasty, and it also involves the alliance between the two countries.
He has always been outside the court, only silk and silkworm in his mind, only thinking about handling one or two things in his own part, he thought that he had done a good job, and also thought that he was worthy of his official position and the trust of the people.
But at this moment, he suddenly realized the narrowness of his thinking, and realized the strength of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was thinking about the alliance between the two countries, the opening of trade routes, and the confrontation between countries.
But in the midst of these national events, he can still transport the three thousand horses of silk, and he will not forget the small things of the people's survival in the big things.
Such a wise and martial, wise and brave His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was born in the Wu Dynasty, which is simply the luck of the Wu Dynasty, and it is also the luck of these loyal and loving courtiers.
In this comparison, he suddenly felt that he only saw the tiny end of the world in front of him, and when he reached out to save an ant trapped on a dead leaf in the water, he thought that he had done a good deed, and he felt content, which was too narrow-minded.
He should also be like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, doing greater things and benefiting more people.
