Chapter 344 Worry About the Future
Chapter 344 Worry about the future
Robbed?
Bai Qingyan raised her brows, thinking of Ji Tingyu, could it be that Ji Tingyu led the robbery?
But Xiao Rongyan has a lot of experts under his command, and the goods his men are protecting...the amount is not small, so how did the people brought by Ji Tingyu rob it?
Bai Qingyan raised her eyes to look at Xiao Rongyan, who had a meaningful smile in her eyes, and immediately understood the meaning of Xiao Rongyan's words.
She asked back: "Although the Bai family's ancestral home is in Shuoyang, they have never lived in Shuoyang. Mr. Xiao is so smart and observant, how could he not know?"
"Since Yan came to look for the princess, I believe that this matter... only the princess can help Yan." Xiao Rongyan almost didn't make it clear, he knew that the "bandits" who robbed his goods were from Bai Qing people.
Rather than saying that Xiao Rongyan asked her to introduce the family that owns the tea mountain, it would be better to say... Xiao Rongyan reminded her to return the goods to him.
She was not afraid that Xiao Rongyan would know that the so-called gangster belonged to her. After all, Xiao Rongyan's biggest handle... She also knew his true identity.
Bai Qingyan made his people pretend to be gangsters, which did not threaten Xiao Rongyan's interests and Dayan, and Xiao Rongyan would not be an enemy of Dayan before she was crowned as the king of all countries.
What Dayan has to do now is to secretly seek strength in this troubled world, and prepare for the king's dominance in the future.
Now that Xiao Rongyan knew about it, she didn't want to play tricks on Xiao Rongyan.
"Mr. Xiao is really... long-eyed and flying-eared."
"It's not a long-sighted ear. The last time Xiao went to Shuoyang, it was to check the shops in Shuoyang, and also to check the robbery of tea. Yan also spent a lot of effort. This morning Only then did the news come back..."
Bai Jinzhi heard Bai Qingyan and Xiao Rongyan's words, his heart skipped a beat, and he realized that Mr. Xiao probably came to look for the eldest sister because he found out that the "bandit" was from their Bai family.
However, Mr. Xiao is unwilling to reveal the truth, so he will probably keep his mouth shut.
Bai Jinzhi really didn't expect that Xiao Rongyan would be so powerful. It would be great if such a character could join the Bai family to help the elder sister.
Xiao Rongyan has many capable people under his command, and since he was robbed and found out early this morning, he really admires Ji Tingyu, Bai Qingyan's subordinate.
If his people hadn't met Ji Tingyu in front of the Bai Mansion, and had admiration for this loyal man who sacrificed his life to send back the bamboo slips for the Bai family, there was really no way to link these bandits with the Princess Zhen Guo.
It was precisely because they knew that it was the owner of Zhen Guo County, that Xiao Rongyan's subordinates did not kill him, but came back to let Xiao Rongyan make up his mind.
The crown prince knew earlier that Xiao Rongyan's goods had been robbed. The original words were... Although he could not spare any troops to suppress the bandits, the crown prince could order the local parents and officials to help Xiao Rongyan retrieve the goods.
Knowing that it was Bai Qingyan who robbed his goods this morning, Xiao Rongyan made a special trip to the Prince's Mansion before coming to Zhen Guo Princess's Mansion, saying that this matter would not trouble the Prince, and he wanted Zhen Guo Princess to help introduce Shuoyang The Chashan House has been run for generations, in an attempt to build a relationship with the princess, and beg the prince not to let the local parents and officials intervene in this matter.
When the prince heard this, he laughed that Xiao Rongyan didn't even want the goods in order to gain a chance to get along with the beauty, so he also withdrew the order to ask the local parents to retrieve the goods for Xiao Rongyan.
"Mr. Xiao is humble. Mr. Xiao knew about the famine in Yanwo much earlier than the Jin court. Isn't that considered a long-term eye?" Bai Qingyan had a very faint smile on his lips.
Xiao Rongyan rubbed his fingers in his sleeves slightly, and squinted his extremely long eyelashes against the dazzling sun: "It seems that the princess's news is also very well-informed."
"Sister, let's stop talking outside the house! Go in and buy Mr. Xiao a cup of tea!" Bai Jinzhi's eyes lit up, and he bowed to Xiao Rongyan, "I don't know if Mr. Xiao has other arrangements."
Xiao Rongyan didn't answer, but looked at Bai Qingyan with smiling black eyes, as if he wanted to see what Bai Qingyan meant before answering.
Bai Jinzhi's invitation has already been spoken, and Bai Qingyan also asked Xiao Rongyan about the famine in Yanwo.
"Mr. Xiao, please..." Bai Qingyan made a gesture of invitation to Xiao Rongyan.
Xiao Rongyan nodded: "Nayan would rather be respectful than obedient."
After entering the door, Bai Qing asked someone to serve tea, and then asked Xiao Rongyan: "When will Mr. Xiao need this batch of white tea?"
Xiao Rongyan said: "Twenty this month at the latest."
Bai Qingyan lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then looked at Xiao Rongyan's faint smile and said, "Mr. Xiao is at ease waiting for the news, it will not affect Mr. Xiao's business."
"Borrowing the princess' auspicious words." Xiao Rongyan bowed to Bai Qingyan shallowly, "This time the princess is helping, I don't know how Yan can repay the princess?"
"Mr. Xiao, why not tell me frankly, when did you learn about the famine in Yanwo?" Bai Qing asked.
"At the beginning of the year..." Xiao Rongyan answered truthfully.
Bai Qingyan glanced at Bai Jinzhi, and then asked Xiao Rongyan: "Mr. Xiao, do you know when Dayan... started preparing to introduce Yanwo refugees into Dayan?"
Xiao Rongyan slowly started talking to Bai Qingyan from the beginning...
"When Yanwo was still the land of Dayan, Empress Ji ordered Sima Sheng, a well-known water conservator, to preside over the construction of a Guanghe canal. Although it was to alleviate the flood in Pingyang City to the north of the Niuliang River, the long-drought land of Yanwo also benefited from it. , rely on this canal to irrigate, and become a land of good fields and fertile soil!"
Bai Qingyan nodded.
"Due to lack of financial resources and manpower during the repair of this canal, Mr. Sima was worried that the flood would harm the people. The construction of the canal was carefully conceived. Only during the high water season of the Niuliang River, the Guanghe Canal would have water and plenty. But this method... Guanghe Canal can only If it is maintained for 20 years, if the canal is to be beneficial for thousands of years, it must be rebuilt after 20 years and extended to the Changhe River.”
"Then...Yanwo was included in the territory of the Jin Dynasty, but no one mentioned the matter of building the canal! It has been 20 years since the construction of the Guanghe Canal. The drought in the Guangqu Canal last July, the governor of Yanwo County thought it would be alleviated this year , but Dayan knew that this was just the beginning! It’s just that Dayan never thought that Yanwo, like Dayan, would experience snowstorms in winter, and the Guanghe Canal would be full during the flood season of the Niuliang River. A long river will naturally lead to floods!"
"It just so happens that Feng Dayan has already recovered Nanyan at this time, and there is enough food and fertile land to accommodate the refugees, so it is inevitable that he will move this mind." Xiao Rongyan said with a smile.
Bai Qingyan was stunned.
"About Mr. Sima, Yan has already informed His Highness the Crown Prince, but I don't know... Does Jin have the energy to rebuild the Guanghe Canal now! After all... Daliang and Jin may start a war." Xiao Rongyan road.
Bai Qingyan's hand holding the teacup tightened. Xiao Rongyan would never aim at the target indiscriminately. If he said that there might be a war, I'm afraid... a war will really happen.
She raised her eyes to look at Xiao Rongyan, wondering if there was Xiao Rongyan's handwriting in it.
After all, Dayan's main force set off to Rongdi, and if Jin and Daliang fought again, Dayan would have nothing to worry about.
Ask for a monthly ticket...
Xiao Rongyan is definitely the male protagonist with the weakest sense of presence.
