A girl who is a criminal in the medical profession has a good fortune, and aristocratic families are

This guy is really rude.

Yunling pursed her lips and snickered.

As soon as Mrs. Tang left, Yunling made a gesture of invitation, "Prince Zhou, please."

Zhou Qiong straightened her back, nodded and said, "I'd like Miss Tang to lead the way."

After entering the small hall door, Zhou Qiong's proud head hung down, and his eyes only stared at her.

Yunling felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at her, so she had to stretch out her hand and ask, "Where's the letter?"

Zhou Qiong looked down at her slender fingers and didn't move.

"what happened?"

Zhou Qiong suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled the person to sit down at the table.

In this way, even if people outside pass by, they will not be able to see the picture under the table.

Zhou Qiong held Yunling's hand with one hand and read out the lines he had just thought of.

"My hands are so cold after traveling all night."

Yunling looked at him in shock.

The shyness in my heart was completely washed away by the young man's words.

How could you say this?

Can this guy's hands be used as heaters?

Feeling the temperature of her palm, the young man suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and quickly added: "Well, it was originally very cold, but it warmed up after I did Tai Chi a few times with the old man."

But he still couldn't let go.

After a moment of silence, Yunling said helplessly: "Can you show me the letter? Isn't it very urgent? Otherwise, you wouldn't have traveled all night to come."

Zhou Qiong had no choice but to take out the letter from his arms with one hand.

Yunling wanted to take her hand back to open the letter, but Zhou Qiong held on and refused to let go. After a few breaths of stalemate, he finally reluctantly let go.

The third prince's letter this time was still sealed with wax.

But it's short.

She only said that she discovered that the tea that was sent to the palace as tribute in the past was actually very cheap in the local area. It was only because the transportation was difficult to keep up that it became expensive. She also bought several hills and hired several experienced local farmers based on her advice. I want to help take care of it, and I plan to try the tea business next year.

As expected of a prince, this is one of the most lucrative businesses.

The few sentences that followed only mentioned other specialties from the southeast region, and then asked Yunling to write more letters to teach him.

Yunling looked at Zhou Qiong and asked in surprise: "The third prince is really going to stay in the Southeast Navy with his attitude of buying mountain land? Does your Majesty agree? Can the ministers in the court agree?"

This is staying here and not leaving, and it is still the Southeast Navy that the imperial court values ​​most at the moment. It is difficult not to make people suspect that it is deliberately keeping the power to recruit troops?

A sneer appeared on Zhou Qiong's face, "If he were the eldest prince, he would naturally be fearful. But the third prince is only eight years old after the Chinese New Year. Who would take him seriously?"

With just a little trick and a note expressing filial piety, the people in Ruidu would only think that this child was playful and carefree.

The Liu family even felt that they controlled the Southeast Navy and let the third prince stay there. It would be even better if he could take the blame for anything.

As for that one...

All he wants is that the Dongrui Kingdom does not engage in war, and other things do not matter.

Maybe the third prince would stay in the Southeast Navy and he would have less headaches.

Yunling, however, thought of the transportation problem from the specialties mentioned by the third prince.

To the south of Yuezhou are countless mountains.

The rolling mountains are like a natural chasm, crossing the north and south. Not only is transportation inconvenient, but also trade is difficult. This is why the prices of things from the south in the Dacheng Market of Yuezhou City are so expensive.

If goods from the south want to be transported to the north, they have to take a mountain road with eighteen bends.

If you want to walk on a waterway, water thieves and water ghosts cannot tell the difference.

Even if the third prince took the official ship this time, he could only go south along the Dongrui River. When he arrived at Yuezhou City, he had to get off the official ship and take a carriage. After crossing the mountain to Minzhou, he could continue taking the boat along the Quan River. Going forward, you have to change trains all the way, which is unbearable for people, let alone the goods.

Especially those seasonal fruits in the south cannot be shipped out at all.

Thinking of this, Yunling asked: "Can you draw a general map of Dongrui?"

The map of the entire Dongrui Kingdom cannot be removed by someone like her, and only people like Zhou Qiong who frequent the palace can still see it.

Seeing that she asked carefully, Zhou Qiong nodded, took the pen and paper aside and started drawing for her.

"But do you think there's something wrong?"

Yunling shook her head, pointed to the location of the Southeast Navy and Yuezhou City on the map and said, "Tell me, is there a possibility that we can find an unusual road here?"

Zhou Qiong looked at the locations of Yuezhou, Minzhou, Ningzhou and Fanzhou on the map and fell into deep thought.

"You mean?"

He suddenly felt that the girl in front of him was not only smart, but also bold.

Yunling nodded, pointed to the location of Jiulong Ridge and said, "Look, does the bay where Jiulong Ridge is located look like a big harbor? It's just like the hurricane and waves outside. As long as you sail here, it will be a natural haven, a The port, a huge port that could transport goods from the north to the south.”

Yunling held the upper part of the charcoal pen and connected the Southeast Navy and Jiulong Ridge in the south of Minzhou along the coastline.

"The other states are too far away, so just take your time. The third prince is now in the Southeast Navy, so let's start from this section. I think the playful third prince asked the Southeast Navy for a boat to go fishing. The water over there The division governor shouldn’t mind, right?”

"After running this line for several years, what money do you still have to worry about?"

It was clearly a faint line mark, but Zhou Qiong had to admire it at this moment.

After pondering for a long time, he said: "The third prince is young after all, and there are spies around him. It is not suitable to build a port. It is feasible to collect some special products and transport them secretly in small boats."

"That?" Yunling was a little discouraged.

However, Zhou Qiong circled somewhere in Ningzhou and said, "The governor of Ningzhou's capital city is trustworthy. This county near the sea also belongs to him, so the ship will start from Ningzhou."

"As for the harbor here in Jiulongling... I will find a way to replace one of my own as the magistrate of Lake County, so that it will be easier for you in the future."

Yunling was surprised and happy, "Don't you think about it anymore?"

Zhou Qiong shook her head, "Don't think about it. Looking forward and looking back won't accomplish anything."

Especially since the eldest prince has not been found yet, if he really went there, the Liu family would not let the third prince live to adulthood.

They don't have much time, so they have no choice but to take risks.

As he said that, he said to Yunling: "After I arrange it, after the magistrate of Hu County is changed, you can go to the county government to sell Pulao Mountain. After a few sales, Jiulong Ridge will be written in Guan It’s in the name of my brother from my hometown.”

"In the future, including the construction of the port in Jiulongling, you can just hand over everything to Guan Yi. Regardless of whether I am here or not, he will only listen to your actions."

Yunling knew that he only wanted to arrange this so that the matter would be exposed and involve the Tang family. Although she was moved, she was still worried and asked: "Are you leaving?"

Zhou Qiong nodded, "After the Lantern Festival, I have to go to Zhenxi Camp."
