Chapter 213 Wu Yunwan Hurriedly Left the North Country

After hearing Lu Chen's words, the corners of Wu Yunwan's mouth raised slightly, and a smile appeared on her face.

Lu Chen really got it right.

She did plan to use what Lu Chen said just now as an excuse.

Wu Yunwan then said: "Master Chen is right. Our Qianhai Chamber of Commerce is indeed very optimistic about the commercial potential of Beiguo and the commercial value of the products manufactured by Beiwangfu."

"Of course, these are not the most important. The most important thing is the products made by Beiwangfu. Our eldest princess also uses them, and she likes them very much."

"Because of this, we want to cooperate with Tingyulou to sell products from the North to the Dawu Dynasty."

Lu Chen said: "In that case, I wish us a happy cooperation."

"As for the details of the cooperation, please let Miss Qian discuss it with the deputy landlord of our Tingyu Tower. I have something else to do, so I will leave first."

"While Miss Qian is in Beiguo, if you need anything, you can come to us at Tingyulou. We will try our best to meet Miss Qian's needs."

Wu Yunwan smiled slightly and said gently: "Thank you, Mr. Chen."

Lu Chen said with a smile: "You're welcome. After all, we will be partners from now on. When Miss Qian comes to Daxia, we Tingyulou will naturally treat her well."

Having said this, Lu Chen stood up and prepared to leave, "Ms. Qian, let's do this for today."

Wu Yunwan also stood up immediately, "Master Chen, walk slowly."

Lu Chen nodded slightly, turned around and left the private room without saying anything more.

Although Lu Chen left, Wang Qingci did not leave. Lu Chen just came to show his face. As the master behind Tingyu Tower, he naturally did not need to participate in the specific negotiations of business cooperation. After all, Qian Hai Chamber of Commerce was here. Not their president.

Wu Yunwan is nominally only the daughter of the president of the Qianhai Chamber of Commerce. She is not the president of the Qianhai Chamber of Commerce, and her rank is lower than that of the landlord of Tingyu Tower. Therefore, the reception of Wu Yunwan is left to Wang Qingci's name. Just do it as the deputy poster above, Lu Chen just needs to show his attitude.

After Lu Chen left, Wu Yunwan and Wang Qingci finalized the details of their cooperation and established a new chamber of commerce called "Tinghai". This chamber of commerce was mainly responsible for doing business within the Dawu Dynasty. Business from other dynasties was not allowed. It is under the management of Tingting Maritime Chamber of Commerce.

After the cooperation was officially confirmed, the two parties identified two people to manage the Tinghai Chamber of Commerce. Wu Yunwan made some concessions in managing the Chamber of Commerce, letting the person appointed by Tingyulou be the president of the Chamber of Commerce, while they, Qianhai Chamber of Commerce Appoint someone to be the vice president.

After everything was discussed, the sky had completely darkened.

night.

Wu Yunwan sat in the private room of the inn and adjusted her internal strength. After a while, Wu Yunwan opened her beautiful eyes and looked at the two old people in front of her.

Hu Shu said at this time: "Princess, we should hurry up and leave the North Country. The North Country is more dangerous than we imagined."

Hu Shu was sent by Queen Dayue to protect Wu Yunwan, so she was very worried about Wu Yunwan's safety. If something happened to Xiao Wenyao, she would have no way to explain to Queen Dayue.

After hearing what Hu Shu said, Wu Yunwan said calmly: "We will leave the North Kingdom early tomorrow morning."

Wu Yunwan doesn't plan to stay too long in the North Country. She also feels that the water in the North Country is a bit too deep. Not only did the owner of the Xuanyue Palace come to the North Country and stayed there for several months, but now there are actually such people in the North Country. The young Grand Master, coupled with the heavy cavalry of the Northern Kingdom, made Wu Yunwan realize that the Northern Kingdom was a place of right and wrong.

As the eldest princess of the Dawu Dynasty, it would be better for her to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

Originally, she had planned to stay in the Northern Kingdom for a while to see what the Northern King was doing there, and to inquire about the situation of the Northern Kingdom's heavy cavalry. Now it seemed that leaving the Northern Kingdom as soon as possible was the most correct choice.

After hearing Wu Yunwan's words, the two great masters Hu Shu and Pei Hong breathed a sigh of relief. Wu Yunwan was willing to leave, but she was afraid that she was too confident and unwilling to leave the North Kingdom so soon.

At this time, Wu Yunwan asked: "Granny Hu, Senior Pei, if you and that Chen Lu start a fight, are you sure you can defeat him?"

Hearing this question, Hu Shu and Pei Hong were stunned for a moment. Pei Hong was the first to answer: "Your Highness, it is difficult for us to judge his specific strength before taking action, but he can become a grand master at such a young age. His attainments in martial arts must be very high.”

"And in front of him, I have a strong sense of crisis. If I take action, I really may not be his opponent."

Pei Hong had fought against Situ Ce before, and he never had the same sense of crisis in front of Situ Ce.

Obviously he felt that Chen Lu was at a similar level to him, but he always felt like he was being watched, as if he was being watched by a beast, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Therefore, Pei Hong judged that Chen Lu was probably stronger than him. If he really made a move, he would most likely not be a match for that young man, and he might not even be able to last for half an hour.

Wu Yunwan was a little surprised when she heard Pei Hong's words. She didn't expect that even Pei Hong didn't have the confidence to defeat Chen Lu.

Her eyes then fell on Hu Shu, who said at this time: "I and Mr. Pei have the same view. If I fight against Chen Lu alone, I will most likely not be his opponent."

Seeing what Hu Shudu said, Wu Yunwan also realized how scary Lu Chen was. She was just an extreme master. Although she could feel the power of Lu Chen, she couldn't judge how strong Lu Chen was. All I know is that he is a great master.

But the words of Pei Hong and Hu Shu made her understand that Chen Lu was more terrifying than she had imagined. It seemed that his origin was not simple.

Thinking about it this way, Tingyu Tower is most likely related to the force behind Bei Wang's Mansion. I don't know what they want to do in Bei Kingdom or what they want to get from Bei Wang.

As a result, Wu Yunwan became even more interested in Lu Chen, the Northern King. What kind of value did the Northern King have, and was he worthy of the support of so many forces?

However, she will definitely not get the answers to these questions in the short term. She can only leave the Qianhai Chamber of Commerce in the North Country, and then let the Qianhai Chamber of Commerce slowly find ways to dig out some useful information.

Wu Yunwan continued to ask at this time: "Senior Pei, Granny Hu, do you think Chen Lu is aware of my identity?"

Pei Hong replied: "There is a high probability that he is aware of it. No matter how rich the Qianhai Chamber of Commerce is, it is impossible for him to have two great masters. However, he may not necessarily know that you are the eldest princess of Dawu. He probably thinks that you are the eldest princess of the sect." People who come.”

After all, Wu Yunwan is the eldest princess of Dawu and a powerful figure. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for her to sneak away to other dynasties without saying hello to other dynasties in advance. This is obviously detrimental to her identity.

In addition, there are relatively few people who can see Wu Yunwan. Not many people in the Dawu Dynasty even know what their eldest princess looks like, so Pei Hong thinks that the owner of Tingyu Tower just now may not be able to recognize that Wu Yunwan is them. The eldest princess of Dawu, at most he could guess that the three of them were related to the eldest princess of Dawu.

Of course, this is just Pei Hong's idea.

Hu Shu also said at this time: "Pei Gong is right, I think so too."

Wu Yunwan fell into deep thought and said nothing more.

Early the next morning.

The genius was dim, and Wu Yunwan took the carriage arranged by the Qianhai Chamber of Commerce back to the Dawu Dynasty.

Lu Chen was not surprised at all when he heard that Wu Yunwan left the Northern Kingdom so quickly. After all, Wu Yunwan was the eldest princess of the Dawu Dynasty. Her life safety was the most important thing. Now someone who could threaten her life appeared in the Northern Kingdom. , she will naturally not stay in the North Country for too long.

In the morning, after Lu Chen finished the porridge cooked by Mu Zixuan, he went to the Yizheng Hall for a small court meeting.

The topic discussed today is still related to the arrangements for the refugees in the North. In the recent period, basically nine of the ten Umrah meetings in the North were related to the refugees.

After the discussion on refugee-related matters at the Xiaochao meeting, Li Rui stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the population in the North is growing too fast now. The number of existing officials is seriously scarce and it is impossible to manage such a large population. I suggest adding more officials." quantity."

Almost every civil servant at the court has several positions. Although there will be more subsidies for holding multiple positions according to the current Northland official management system, it also means that there are a lot of things.

They used to be lazy every day, and so much work was added to them all at once, and they, the officials, couldn't adapt at all.

After killing the chicken to scare the monkeys last time, these officials are loyal, but they are not capable enough.

There is an urgent need to increase the number of officials.

After hearing Li Rui's words, Lu Chen said: "I am also considering adding more officials. However, the Northern Kingdom is poor and most of the people have not even read books. Scholars from other places in Daxia are not willing to come to the Northern Kingdom to work. Officers, it may not be easy to increase the number of officers now.”

Li Rui said: "I heard that a branch of the Chu family has moved to the Northern Kingdom. The Chu family is a thousand-year-old family with many scholars. I suggest that the Chu family be allowed to enter the Northern Palace and hold important positions."

Li Rui naturally knew about the relationship between Lu Chen and the Chu family. He also knew that Lu Chen had a suppressive attitude towards the aristocratic family. However, there were not many talented people in the Northern Kingdom, so he could only use the Chu family for the time being.

If there is a constant shortage of officials, Lu Chen's reform progress will definitely be affected.

After hearing Li Rui's words, Lu Chen thought for a moment, and then said: "Yes, but anyone who wants to be an official in the future must take the assessment. I will personally give the questions for the assessment. Only after passing the assessment can you be qualified to do so." Northern officials."

After talking about the officials, Li Rui stepped aside. At this time, Lu Chen continued: "I have something to announce today. Yancheng is too small and too dilapidated to meet the growing commercial needs of the North. I plan to Build another new city and move the Northern Palace to the new city."

Hearing this, the officials in the hall immediately started talking.

To build a new city, the first problem that must be faced is where the money will come from, and the second is the working population. Now that there are so many refugees in the North, there is naturally no shortage of working population, but the key issue is money.

Lu Chen continued: "You are worried about the money issue. There will be many chambers of commerce taking the initiative to participate in the construction of the new city, and the main construction funds will come from the royal palace's treasury."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, the officials immediately stopped talking. As long as the palace provided the money and they were not allowed to find ways to make money, then everything would be fine.

What they fear most is that the palace will let officials like them make money. The North is so poor now, and officials like them have no place to make money. The only place to make money is through various tax collections.

But Lu Chen exempted the agricultural tax, which is a big part of it, and the tax items of the Northern Kingdom are now fixed by the Northern Palace, so they are not qualified to collect taxes under various pretexts.

Lu Chen continued at this time: "The site of the new city has not been determined yet. You should discuss where the new city should be built."

Hearing this, the officials' discussion sounded again in the hall.

At the same time.

In the inner courtyard of the Northern Palace.

After Chu Yuqin finished her patrol, she returned to her courtyard. She planned to have a good chat with Chu Qingli.

At this time, Chu Qingli was in the room to regulate her internal strength. During this period, she was often pulled by Lu Chen to practice, and her strength was greatly improved, but her strength increased too fast, which made her a little unable to adapt.

Chu Yuqin knocked on the door, "Qingli, are you in the room? Sister is coming in."

Hearing that it was Chu Yuqin's voice, Chu Qingli hurriedly pulled up her clothes. When she was practicing just now, she only had a bellyband on her body, revealing a lot of skin.

There were red marks all over her body. If Chu Yuqin saw it, she would blame herself again.

After putting on her coat quickly, Chu Qingli said coldly: "I'm inside, sister, come in."

After hearing Chu Qingli's response, Chu Yuqin pushed the door open and saw Chu Qingli meditating, as if she was just regulating her internal strength. Chu Yuqin sighed slightly.

In Chu Yuqin's opinion, Chu Qingli has been practicing so hard recently, probably to improve her strength as soon as possible, so that she can surpass Lu Chen as soon as possible, and then force herself out of the Northern Palace.

Chu Qingli looked at Chu Yuqin and asked, "Sister, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Chu Yuqin replied, "Qingli, you have been practicing martial arts and have been obsessed with it recently, which shows that your mind is already in chaos. If you continue to practice like this, something will happen sooner or later."

"Sister has already told Chen'er that the guard work of the palace will be handed over to Xiaobai in the next few months. You should have a good rest for a while."

Hearing this, Chu Qingli was stunned for a moment, and then she immediately said, "Sister, I'm fine."

Chu Yuqin said, "What do you mean, you are fine? Look at those red scars on your body. Chen'er said that these red scars on your body are very difficult to eliminate. If one day these scars deepen further, even Chen'er can't eliminate them. How can you get married?"

"And these scars are still trivial matters. What if you are obsessed with it and lose all your skills? Can you still stay in the Northern Palace in the future?"

"I..." Chu Qingli hesitated.

She wanted to say that these scars had nothing to do with obsession, but the lie had been told long ago and could not be taken back now.

If she says these scars have nothing to do with being possessed, then how did these scars come from?

How will I explain it to Chu Yuqin then?
