Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

In Ning Fan's imagination, storytellers can collect a lot of information by walking around the streets, but storytellers can also make a lot of money.

For example, staying in some restaurants, opening a Pingshu library, etc. In short, in Ning Fan's vision, these people can at least support themselves.

Now that there are so many more mouths to open to eat, Ning Fan really feels the financial pressure.

Ning Fan plans to continue producing sugar, refined salt, soap and other things in an orderly manner. He must make a lot of money, make a lot of money. Only money can support more layouts.

"Your Highness, Mr. Li from the Ministry of Industry is here. He said he has a question and wants to ask you."

Xiao Guizi came over and reported.

Ning Fan had previously drawn up a complete set of cement production technologies in a drawing and handed it over to the Ministry of Industry, and the cement production line was also under Tian'an Emperor's secret layout and was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Ning Fan changed his clothes and came out, and saw the Minister of Works already sitting in the living room waiting.

Seeing Ning Fan walking in, the other party quickly stood up and saluted.

"Did you encounter any problems?"

Ning Fan asked bluntly.

"There is no problem, everything is going smoothly. The first batch of finished products will be released soon. I would like to invite His Highness to witness it when the time comes."

The Minister of Works said cautiously.

Ning Fan donated the cement production technology to the court for free. The benefits that cement will generate in the future can almost be seen with the naked eye.

So now everyone in the Ministry of Industry admires Ning Fan.

In particular, the waterwheel improved by Ning Fan was really easy to use. After being modified by the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry, it directly became the perpetual motion machine of this era.

"That's no problem. You go back first and let me know when the day comes."

Ning Fan did not refuse.

In fact, even if the Ministry of Industry did not come forward to invite him, Ning Fan would still find an opportunity to go to the Ministry of Industry.

According to Ning Fan's vision, if he wants to bring Dakang into the industrial era in his lifetime, these talents from the Ministry of Industry are the best foundation.

Ning Fan always looks for opportunities to contact these people, and also finds ways to influence these people.

There are too many things to do, and Ning Fan plans to do them one by one. If he has time, it is best to make a plan.

Xiao family.

"Miss, have you heard? Recently, His Highness the Sixth Prince solved a case and directly caught the hidden murderer!"

Xiaoyu rushed upstairs and immediately told Xiao Lingxi the news she heard.

Xiao Lingxi was in the attic, resting her chin on her hand and looking at the flowers outside the window in a daze.

It had been a few days since she had contacted Ning Fan, and Xiao Lingxi felt like grass had grown in her heart...

Suddenly hearing the news that Xiaoyu brought back, Xiao Lingxi felt relieved, as if the big stone that was holding her down had finally been let go.

"It turns out that he didn't forget me, but he was busy with something..."

Xiao Lingxi thought to herself.

"Xiaoyu, what did you just say? What happened to His Highness the Sixth Prince?"

Xiao Lingxi asked blankly.

She just heard what the Sixth Prince was doing. As for the second half of the sentence, she completely missed the point.

"Your Highness, the Sixth Prince, this time transformed into a detective who eliminates violence and brings peace of mind. He solved a mysterious case and successfully caught the murderer behind the scenes."

Xiaoyu said excitedly.

Xiao Lingxi also showed some excitement on her face: "Tell me quickly what's going on."

In the attic, the two women whispered occasionally, but they did not know that the situation in the court was changing, and the war ahead was even more treacherous.

By the time the Xiao family received the news, it was already evening.

Xiao Lingxi tore open her father's family letter and her hands suddenly started to tremble.

"Miss, what's going on? Sir, is he okay?"

Xiaoyu also saw something was wrong and was anxious.

"My father is fine. It's just that the generals on the front line rebelled and suffered heavy losses! Although my father barely resisted the Huns' attack, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties. This defeat will definitely lead to prosecution by the court."

Xiao Lingxi's face was filled with worry.

"How can you blame the master for this? If you want to blame it, blame the rebel!"

Xiaoyu said without knowing what was going on.

Xiao Lingxi felt melancholy in her heart, and the look on her face was extremely gloomy. These days, she expected to hear news from the front line every day, but she didn't expect that when the real news came, it would be such a mess.

"Things are not as simple as you think. The imperial court has mobilized a large army to support the front line. In addition, my father has received the imperial order from the imperial court to recall him and is on his way back..."

Xiao Lingxi was in a state of confusion, with no master in her mind.

"I have made great contributions to the great prosperity of the country. Your Majesty is not a person who kills donkeys to kill people. Please relax, young lady."

Xiaoyu comforted.

Xiao Lingxi said nothing, feeling extremely depressed.

"Miss, do you want to tell the Sixth Prince about this? He is a prince after all. If something happens to me, he can speak in front of His Majesty."

Xiaoyu said with an idea.

Xiao Lingxi was hesitant at first, but for the sake of her father's safety, she decided to go see Ning Fan.

This matter must be planned as early as possible in advance. If there is anything unpredictable, we must make preparations in advance.

In the evening, when it was dusk, a carriage stopped at the door of Ning Fan's mansion.

"Sister Ling Xi, come to me in the evening. Did something happen?"

Xiao Lingxi's sudden visit gave Ning Fan a bad feeling.

"There are changes on the front line. My father was recalled by the court and is currently on his way back..."

"Your Highness, the Sixth Prince, my father has made great contributions to the court. If the court wants to use this to deal with my father, I ask the Sixth Prince to speak up for my father in front of Your Majesty."

Xiao Lingxi opened the curtain, revealing a pretty face filled with sadness.

Ning Fan naturally did not expect that such a big thing would happen on the front line.

Changing commanders before battle is a taboo for military strategists!

The court may have had many last resort reasons to recall Xiao Chong, but Ning Fan smelled something unusual from it.

"Don't worry, sister Ling Xi. General Xiao is the commander-in-chief of the army and has made great contributions. My father will not take action against General Xiao no matter what."

Ning Fan said comfortingly.

"I hope so! My father has a tough temper and never bows his head. This incident should be a big blow to him."

Xiao Lingxi said silently.

The two talked for a while, and then Xiao Lingxi's carriage left.

Ning Fan looked at the back of the carriage and felt extremely melancholy for a moment.

A traitor appeared on the front line, causing Xiao Chong to suffer heavy losses. Even the Huns almost broke through the northwest border...

This is definitely a big deal, and I didn’t expect it to happen suddenly.

Why did the court recall Xiao Chong?

Is it because you don't trust him anymore, or is it for other reasons?

Ning Fan would not worry about this issue, but now, Ning Fan has to be concerned.

The emperor's heart cannot be guessed.

But Ning Fan can be sure that this matter will definitely affect Xiao Chong.

Xiao Chong does have high prestige and great achievements, but this is also a dangerous factor. Therefore, Ning Fan is not sure what kind of punishment Xiao Chong will receive...
