Chapter 423 From Now on, the Two Ladies Will Be in Charge of the Royal Palace's Assets

Lu Chen thought to himself that if he could use spiritual rice to improve the strength of the soldiers in the army, apart from other things, the improvement of strength alone would be able to improve the combat effectiveness of the army.

Many of the soldiers in the Northern Kingdom’s army are ordinary people, especially the soldiers in the artillery battalion. The strength of ordinary people is far less than that of warriors, but these ordinary soldiers are responsible for transporting cannons and carrying artillery shells.

If these ordinary soldiers all become warriors, regardless of how high their realm is, as long as they can become fifth-grade warriors, their speed of marching with heavy weapons will be greatly accelerated.

Speed ​​is the essence of war, and sometimes fighting often requires rushing.

Lu Chen stared at the spiritual rice in front of him, thinking to himself that it seems that he has to find a trustworthy person to be responsible for the cultivation of spiritual rice.

When there is enough spiritual rice in the future, the overall strength of the Northern Kingdom’s soldiers will be greatly improved.

Just when Lu Chen was distracted, Mu Zixuan said, "Your Highness, this spiritual rice should be ready for harvest. Why don't I find someone to harvest it?"

Although Lu Chen has always been taking care of this spiritual rice, there are so many of them after all, and he can't let Lu Chen go to the fields to work and harvest this spiritual rice himself.

Lu Chen said, "Well, okay, then I'll trouble my beloved concubine to find some trustworthy people to collect these rice grains as seeds and continue to plant them later.

Speaking of this, Lu Chen continued, "I'll go to have breakfast first. You arrange a few carpenters to come to the palace and ask them to wait for me in the outer courtyard for a while. I'll assign them some work when the time comes."

Mu Zixuan said, "I understand."

Then Mu Zixuan said to the maid next to her, "Go and bring the prince's breakfast. "

Lu Chen then entered the Fengyun Palace and went to have breakfast.

When Lu Chen came out after breakfast, Mu Zixuan had arranged some carpenters to wait for Lu Chen in the outer courtyard. Mu Zixuan was a little curious and didn't know what Lu Chen wanted the carpenters to do.

Since this matter was in the palace, she should be able to see it, so Mu Zixuan followed Lu Chen to the outer courtyard to see what Lu Chen wanted to do.

Lu Chen came to the outer courtyard and saw the carpenters. He asked them to move the branches of the dragon and phoenix tree to the outer courtyard, and then asked the carpenters to make wooden figures in the palace.

Hearing Lu Chen say that he wanted to make wooden figures, the carpenters were very puzzled. They didn't know what Lu Chen's wooden figures were for, but they were all craftsmen from Dayu City. They obeyed Lu Chen's orders 100%, so the carpenters didn't think much about it and started to process the branches of the dragon and phoenix tree.

Seeing that the carpenters were busy, Mu Zixuan came to Lu Chen and asked directly: "Prince, what are the wooden figures you asked them to make for? "

Lu Chen smiled slightly and said mysteriously: "My beloved concubine, don't worry. You will know when they make it."

Seeing that Lu Chen said so, Mu Zixuan did not continue to ask. Lu Chen seemed to suddenly think of something and then said: "By the way, there is something I almost forgot. I told Yunwan yesterday that you should get to know each other first."

Speaking of this, Lu Chen said to the maid next to Mu Zixuan: "Xiao Rou, ask Madam Wu to come to Fengyun Courtyard."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After the maid went to Wu Yunwan, Lu Chen put his arm around Mu Zixuan's waist and walked towards the inner courtyard, saying as he walked: "My beloved concubine, let's go to Fengyun Courtyard and wait for her first. "

Mu Zixuan said "hmm" softly, and then followed Lu Chen back to Fengyun Courtyard.

Mu Zixuan felt pressured to meet Wu Yunwan, because Wu Yunwan was the eldest princess of Dawu, and her status was relatively noble.

Although the Mu family had a high status in Daxia before, it was nothing compared to the Dawu royal family behind Wu Yunwan.

Although she felt a little pressured, Mu Zixuan quickly adjusted her state. She thought to herself that she was Lu Chen's princess after all, and she couldn't embarrass Lu Chen.

Not long after, Wu Yunwan came to the core area of ​​the Northern Palace under the guidance of the maid.

When Wu Yunwan walked into Fengyun Courtyard, Lu Chen and Mu Zixuan were sitting in a pavilion, and the two seemed to be discussing something.

Wu Yunwan then went to the pavilion. When she saw Wu Yunwan coming, Lu Chen smiled and said, "My beloved, let me introduce you. This is the helper I found for you, the eldest princess of Dawu. "

Hearing this, Mu Zixuan immediately stood up and took the initiative to walk out of the pavilion to greet Wu Yunwan, "Sister Wu, I have heard the prince mention you a long time ago, but it's a pity that you have been staying in the East Courtyard, and I have no chance to see you."

"It is said that Sister Wu is very beautiful. Today, I see that she is indeed as famous as she is."

Seeing that Mu Zixuan, a princess, was so enthusiastic about her, Wu Yunwan became alert. She suspected that Mu Zixuan was afraid that she would threaten her position, so she pretended to please her first, and then set a trap for herself and tried to frame her.

For someone who has lived in the royal family since childhood, he still knows more about the things in the harem.

But don't hit a smiling person. Since Mu Zixuan took the initiative to show her kindness on the surface, she couldn't say anything bad at this time.

Wu Yunwan said with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment, princess."

Speaking of this, Wu Yunwan glanced at Lu Chen, and then said: "The prince is so lucky to be able to marry a smart and capable woman like the princess. "

Hearing the two people bragging about their business, Lu Chen picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and then said: "Don't flatter each other, come and sit down, I will tell you how to manage the palace industry next."

Mu Zixuan then took Wu Yunwan's hand and said: "Sister Wu, let's go over."

Wu Yunwan said: "Well, okay."

Then the two women came to the pavilion and sat down. Lu Chen said at this time: "The palace has more and more industries. In the future, you two alone will probably not be able to manage it, so the palace needs to recruit more talents."

Speaking of this, Lu Chen told the two women about his plan to set up an exam to recruit talents. Hearing Lu Chen's idea, the two women thought this method was feasible.

Now the management personnel of the palace industry are arranged by Mu Zixuan alone, and promotions are also decided by Mu Zixuan alone. Although this can ensure that they are all the palace's own people, there are too many industries in the palace, and Mu Zixuan needs to waste a lot of time every day to deal with personnel changes.

If there is a special personnel agency responsible for the examination and selection of talents, Mu Zixuan only needs to sign and agree in the future.

At this time, Lu Chen looked at Wu Yunwan and said: "Wanwan, although I let you start to get involved in the industry of the palace now, you haven't married yet, so you may have to be wronged for a while. You will temporarily assist the princess in managing the industry of the palace. After you marry in the future, I will hand over some industries directly to you for management."

Hearing Lu Chen call her Wanwan, Wu Yunwan couldn't help but roll her eyes at Lu Chen.

She is obviously older than this little man, but this guy actually calls her that.

Although she had some small emotions in her heart, Wu Yunwan still didn't dwell on them, "Okay, I know."

At this time, Lu Chen stretched out his hand and directly embraced Mu Zixuan and Wu Yunwan's willow waists, and said with a smile: "In the future, the industry of the palace will trouble the two ladies. I believe that under your management, the industry of the palace will continue to grow and become stronger, and earn more money for our palace."

Being hugged by Lu Chen in front of the princess, Wu Yunwan always felt strange in her heart. This guy did this deliberately to get closer to her and the princess, right?

She was a person of high status before, how could she not see these little thoughts of Lu Chen, but she didn't say much.

Anyway, she had planned to be with this little man for the rest of her life. As long as Mu Zixuan didn't take the initiative to make trouble for her, she wouldn't go to Mu Zixuan for no reason.

At this moment, Lu Chen suddenly thought of something, so he continued: "If the two ladies have different ideas in the future, you can tell me directly."

Since they are allowed to manage the property of the palace together, they will definitely have different ideas in the future. In order to avoid conflicts between the two, Lu Chen plans to make decisions by himself when they have different ideas.

Mu Zixuan said: "I understand."

Speaking of this, Mu Zixuan's eyes fell on Wu Yunwan and continued: "Sister Wu, since you are already the woman of the prince, you should also come to Fengyunyuan for dinner in the future."

"This is the custom of the palace. The family must gather together every night for dinner."

Naturally, Wu Yunwan had heard about this rule of the palace a long time ago.

"Okay, I'll come tonight."

Wu Yunwan looked at Lu Chen and asked, "Prince, you don't have many wives and concubines now, and Fengyun Court can accommodate so many people. If one day your wives and concubines increase by dozens, your children increase by hundreds, and your children have children, will you still call your wives and concubines to gather together for dinner?"

Hearing Wu Yunwan's words, Lu Chen smiled and said, "That's a problem."

Lu Chen didn't have many women at the beginning, so it was okay to get together for dinner, and they could also enhance their feelings for each other. However, as her wives and concubines increased and her children increased, the children always liked to make a lot of noise when they had dinner, and the whole Fengyun Palace was like a vegetable market.

Lu Chen said, "Let's do this. After Nanyan and Yaoyao's children are born, we won't hold dinners in the future. We will hold dinners on major festivals."

Hearing this, Mu Zixuan was stunned for a moment. In her opinion, there was nothing wrong with a family sitting in Fengyun Palace for dinner, and it was lively and lively. Most of the women in the palace were used to it.

Unexpectedly, Wu Yunwan's words made Lu Chen cancel the dinner. Although it was not canceled immediately, Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao's child will be born in a few months.

Mu Zixuan felt a little sorry in her heart, but when she thought that after the birth of the two children, there would be two more people in the palace, and there would be more people in Fengyun Hall at that time, which was indeed a trouble.

After all, one more child would have two more wet nurses to take care of the children, and two children would have four wet nurses. Even if the wet nurses did not eat at the table, they would enter Fengyun Hall and occupy the space of Fengyun Hall.

Lu Chen said to Mu Zixuan: "My beloved concubine, you should tell Wanwan about the industrial situation of the palace."

"Well, I understand."

Then Mu Zixuan took out some industrial information of the palace and explained the industrial situation of the palace to Wu Yunwan in detail.

After listening to Mu Zixuan's explanation, Wu Yunwan felt extremely shocked. She did not expect that the palace had more industries than the Dawu royal family.

Lu Chen's princess is not a simple woman. She manages so many industries by herself, and these industries have not encountered any major problems. This proves that Mu Zixuan is indeed a princess with some means.

This also makes Wu Yunwan more vigilant about Mu Zixuan. (End of this chapter)
