Chapter 289 I Advise You to Put Away Your Little Thoughts

After hearing what Emperor Xia said, Wu Yunwan asked: "Father, are you planning to send your daughter as an envoy to Dayue?"

Wu Yunwan has the largest intelligence agency in Dawu. She has long known that Beiguo purchased land in Yong'an County and stationed 30,000 heavy cavalry in Yong'an County.

So she basically guessed what Emperor Wu planned to do next. Now the Northern Kingdom was bordering Dawu, and 30,000 heavy cavalry were stationed in the border area. If Dawu made any move against Daxia at this time, I am afraid that the Northern Kingdom would immediately Send out troops with great force.

The latest trend in the court is to send troops to Daxia. In addition, Wu Yunwan knows her father well and knows that her father will not give up sending troops to Daxia easily. Then his father will probably want to fight with Dayue next. Form an alliance and attack Daxia together.

Seeing that Wu Yunwan had guessed his plan, Emperor Wu said, "It seems you already know it."

"Now the Northern Kingdom has 30,000 heavy cavalry stationed in Yong'an County. Once Dawu sends troops to Daxia, the Northern Kingdom is likely to attack Dawu. This makes my father very worried."

"The plan for now is to win over Dayue and let Dayue help Dawu contain the Northern Kingdom. Only in this way can Dawu have a chance to destroy Daxia."

Wu Yunwan said: "Father, my daughter understands what you mean. My daughter will go to Dayue tomorrow."

After hearing this, Emperor Wu looked at Wu Yunwan with a smile, and then said with a smile: "Then thank you for the hard work."

Having said this, Emperor Wu sighed, and then continued: "Only Yun Wanyou can ask my father to share some of the burden. Your brothers are each more useless than the other. My father often thinks, if you are a What a great man."

Wu Yunwan instantly heard something from Emperor Wu's tone. Emperor Wu was reminding her that she was just a woman, not a man, so she shouldn't think about unrealistic things.

Although she heard the implication of Emperor Wu's words, Wu Yunwan didn't take it to heart. She had already seen her father's attitude.

Although her father named her the eldest princess, which greatly elevated her status, Emperor Wu was also trying to balance the power in the court and tried his best to train her brothers. From her father, Wu Ming With her, Beiguo could see that her father had no intention of passing the throne to her daughter.

At this time, Wu Yunwan said: "Father, my daughter understands what you mean. These are what a daughter should do. As the eldest princess of Dawu, the daughter should bear these responsibilities."

Hearing Wu Yunwan's words, Emperor Wu said with a smile: "You can understand my father's difficulties. My father is very happy. Okay, if nothing happens, you can go back and prepare."

Wu Yunwan immediately saluted and said, "Yes, my daughter is resigning."

After finishing her words, Wu Yunwan turned and left the imperial study.

When Wu Yunwan returned to Qingyun Palace, a maid entered the Qingyun Palace excitedly and said, "Your Highness, there is something great!"

Hearing this, Wu Yunwan asked in confusion: "What's the big deal?"

The maid replied: "During the court today, someone suggested that your majesty choose a husband for you. Mr. Chai directly stood up and asked your majesty to marry you to him."

Hearing this, Wu Yunwan's face darkened instantly, and she said coldly: "Is this the good thing you said?"

Hearing that Wu Yunwan's tone was wrong, the maid hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed immediately and said: "Your Highness, it was my fault. I shouldn't speculate on your thoughts. My crime deserves to be punished by death. Please punish me."

Chai Jiliang often went to the place where Wu Yunwan lived. After going back and forth, almost all the maids and eunuchs in Qingyun Palace thought that Chai Jiliang and Wu Yunwan had a very good relationship, and even had feelings for each other. Moreover, even at such an old age, Chai Jiliang has not yet had such a relationship. Marrying a wife without even a concubine, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Chai Jiliang is interested in the eldest princess.

The maids and eunuchs thought that the eldest princess was already in her thirties and was still unmarried. It must be because of Chai Jiliang. Now that Chai Jiliang had taken the initiative to ask His Majesty to marry the eldest princess to him, the maids of Qingyun Palace naturally felt that this was a good thing. , thinking that the eldest princess and Prime Minister Chai finally got married.

But what they didn't know was that in Wu Yunwan's eyes, Chai Jiliang was just her political partner, and she had never had even the slightest affection for Chai Jiliang.

Wu Yunwan is not a fool. She knows what path she is going to take. The path she takes will never allow her to have a relationship with her children, so she has long closed her heart and basically will not treat men. Produce emotions.

Wu Yunwan glanced at the maid on the ground indifferently, and then said: "If there is another time, you can go back to your room and hang yourself."

After hearing this, the maid quickly said: "Thank you, Your Highness, for forgiving me. I will definitely not talk too much in the future."

At this moment, a mature man's voice came, "Your Highness seems very unhappy today?"

Seeing that Chai Jiliang was coming, Wu Yunwan asked directly: "I heard that you just asked my father for a marriage in the court?"

Hearing Wu Yunwan's tone, Chai Jiliang knew that Wu Yunwan was angry, and he immediately said: "Your Royal Highness, I am trying to buy time for you."

"You should understand that it is impossible for His Majesty to marry you to me. If I do this, I will let others know that I admire you. In this way, no one will continue to urge Your Majesty to find you a husband."

Wu Yunwan sneered, and then said: "Master Chai, I advise you to put aside your petty thoughts."

Having said this, Wu Yunwan turned around and left.

Wu Yunwan is not a fool. Chai Jiliang's actions have indeed bought her some time to a certain extent. No ministers will mention her marriage in the short term.

But in this way, she is tied to Chai Jiliang. After the story of her and Chai Jiliang spreads to the people, people will definitely say that they are a perfect match. If Wu Yunwan ascends to the supreme position in the future, how should she treat Chai Jiliang?

Their affairs have spread to the people. Should she give Chai Jiliang a name?

If she does not give Chai Jiliang a name, what will the people say about her? Most likely, they will say that she is unfeeling and has been cold to the emperor since ancient times.

Wu Yunwan has been dealing with Chai Jiliang for so many years. How could she not know what kind of person Chai Jiliang is? Chai Jiliang's vision is always long-term. He can't just see the gains and losses in front of him.

At this time, Wu Yunwan was indeed very angry. Chai Jiliang actually calculated her head.

Seeing Wu Yunwan's departing figure, Chai Jiliang said to himself: "It seems that this time I went a little too far."

...

Half a month later.

Northern Kingdom.

Council Hall.

Lu Chen sat on the throne, full of vigor and energy, and said with a smile: "This is the last time we discuss important matters in this Council Hall. Everyone, if you have anything to discuss recently, please bring it up as soon as possible."

"If not, let's discuss the matter of moving the city."

After the hard work of the common people of the Northern Kingdom and the barbarian slaves, the new city of the Northern Kingdom has now been built. The new city of the Northern Kingdom is basically made of reinforced concrete, and the streets are very spacious. There is also a palace in the new city, and the area of ​​the palace is very large. Lu Chen can't wait to move to the new city.

The current palace is still a little too small, and he can't do much in the current palace. When he goes to the new city, he and his wives and concubines can play as they want.

After hearing Lu Chen's words, Li Rui took the initiative to stand up and said: "Prince, although the new city has been built, the price of houses in the new city is high, and ordinary people can hardly afford it. I am afraid that the people of Yancheng will rarely move to the new city to live."

The new city has been built, but the new city is built with reinforced concrete and red bricks. These things almost all come from the Northern Palace, and they are all new things, and the prices are relatively expensive. The price of houses built with these things can be imagined.

Although Yancheng's business has become more and more prosperous after Lu Chen came to the North Country, and the people of Yancheng have also made some money through trade, but the number of particularly wealthy people is probably less than one percent of Yancheng.

If only the Northern Palace moved to the new city, but the people of the old city still stayed in the old city, what use would the new city have?

Lu Chen smiled and said, "This king had anticipated this, so at the beginning, this king asked the Jinyiwei soldiers to register the number of people in Yancheng. At present, there are a total of 100,000 original residents in Yancheng. Each household of these 100,000 people only needs to pay 500 coins to own a house in the new city."

"If you really can't pay it, you can temporarily owe it and pay it back within ten years."

Hearing this, the officials in the hall thought about it. If it was only 500 coins, most of the people in Yancheng should be able to pay it.

The key is that the Northern King gave a ten-year repayment period. Although the people of the Northern Kingdom were relatively poor before, since the Northern King came to the Northern Kingdom, the Northern King's Palace has created many industries. These industries require a large number of laborers. Although the core industries are all signed indentures, the Northern King's Palace adopts a hiring system for some simple manual work. If the people of Yancheng want to earn 500 coins, they can go to the Northern King's Palace to work in the industry.

Even if they don't work in the industry created by the Northern King's Mansion, with Yancheng's commerce so developed today, it's still no problem for the people of Yancheng to find something to do to make money. Even if the people of Yancheng don't work for anyone, they just contract some land outside to grow food, and they won't have any problem paying back 500 Wen within ten years.

So the price set by Lu Chen is reasonable.

Lu Chen said at this time: "Of course, this price is only for the people of Yancheng. If people outside want to buy houses in Yancheng, it will be another price."

At this time, an official asked: "Your Majesty, what if the people of Yancheng sell their houses to others at a high price?"

Lu Chen said lightly: "The first house of the people of Yancheng is not allowed to be traded."

Hearing this, Li Rui returned to his seat, "I have no questions."

Lu Chen asked: "Do you have any other questions? You can also raise the issue of relocation now."

Seeing that no one spoke, Lu Chen said: "Since you have no questions, then I will talk about the arrangements for relocation."

After the voice fell, the Jinyiwei soldier beside Lu Chen walked to the middle of the hall with a booklet, and then began to read according to the contents of the booklet.

The booklet talked about the arrangements for relocation and how the new city should be managed.

An hour later, after discussing the relocation, Lu Chen returned to the study.

Lu Chen sat on the stool in the study, glanced at the entire study, and couldn't help feeling a little reluctant.

This study room carries too many good memories for him. He had flirted with Chu Yuqin in this study room, argued with Wang Qingci, made deals with Chu Qingli, and did bad things secretly with Lin Wanyun. He didn't expect that he would have to leave this place soon.

Just when Lu Chen was immersed in his memories, a familiar voice came, "My Lord, this is the first time I see you in a daze in the study."

Lu Chen came back to his senses, looked up at the door of the study, and saw Wang Qingci's S-shaped enchanting figure.

I changed to a new typing device, so the typing is slower. Forgive me
