Bai Jintang smiled humbly: "It's not a foresight, it's just a matter of profit. The number of self-propelled boats will only increase and will not decrease, and the demand for coal will also increase. The supply of coal by the government near the Jiangnan Wharf is already in jeopardy, and even Privately buy excess coal from small and medium-sized merchants. I am not the only one in Yangzhou who saw this business opportunity, but I am more courageous, and I have some business friends who help each other and make a fortune together."

Zhao Yiyi laughed: "It is also a matter of foresight to make friends."

Not everyone is like you. When it comes to making friends, there are so many capable people and strangers waiting for you to make friends, and there will never be a shortage of funds for making friends...

Bai Jintang smiled and said nothing.

Zhao Yiyi said: "In this case, I will test you. In your opinion, of these industries in Bianliang City, which one should be expanded to Yangzhou first?"

What he said by "these industries" refers to all the factories managed by Jiang Ping.Based on the friendship between Bai Jintang and Jiang Ping, he must know exactly how many factories he owns.

Bai Jintang said without hesitation: "Shipyard."

Zhao Yiyi asked, "Why?"

Bai Jintang replied: "Everyone who does business hopes to have a well-connected commercial road. A well-connected commercial road depends on transportation. The speed of the self-propelled boat is more than ten times faster than that of the previous sailboat, and it can carry more goods. Such an artifact If it spreads all over the north and south of the river..."

He imagined the scene of hundreds of boats competing at the Guazhou Ferry, thousands of self-propelled boats lined up on the Yangtze River, and each boat was loaded with heavy grain, goods, and wealth.

"Caomin really can't wait any longer. Expanding the shipyard to Yangzhou means that it will be able to produce twice as many ships as it is now. Therefore, if you want to choose Caomin, you must first choose the shipyard."

Zhao Yiyi nodded: "Coincidentally, I thought so too. Yangzhou is a thoroughfare of four confluences and occupies the most important ferry in the south of the Yangtze River. Naturally, more boats are needed."

He glanced at Bai Jintang: "However, it is not an easy task to open another shipyard in Yangzhou City. Not everyone can produce the movement that drives the ship by itself. "

The reason why the current self-propelled boats are able to stand out from the crowd and dominate the water is because of the steam boiler developed by Xia Yuqi.Now all the steam boilers are produced under the nose of Bianliang Xia Yuqi, and there will be no mistakes.

But if you move to Yangzhou...

Bai Jintang smiled heartily: "What's the difficulty? I have a few friends who happen to be masters in this way. Invite them to study in the shipyard for a few days. After returning to Yangzhou, they can produce by themselves."

Zhao Yiyi couldn't help but slander, how many good friends do you have...

He took the teacup Liu En handed him, replaced the wine with tea, and raised his glass with Bai Jintang: "Then I wish Mr. Bai a prosperous business."

As for where the funds for the construction of the shipyard come from, who owns the ship after it is built, and how to reconcile the interests of both parties, there is no need for him, the emperor, to finalize the details one by one.

Anyway, Liu En will never let him suffer.

After going out to fool Gongsun Ce and Bai Jintang, Zhao Yiyi went back to the palace and stayed at home peacefully, waiting for the arrival of the Dragon Boat Festival.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, there is going to be a big show.

He wanted to live in peace, but Zhao Xu didn't want him to live in peace like this.

Zhao Yiyi held the memorial sent by the local government in one hand and looked at it. Apart from some yin and yang literati's acid words, it also recorded some good news. For example, the weather in various places this year is good. As for the ghost days of flooding Qianli Zeguo, there were only a few moderate rains implicitly, neither drought nor flood, and a bumper harvest is expected this year.

Several years have passed, and Zhao Yiyi, who is afraid that the whole country will be out of cooking tomorrow, saw the word "harvest" and had already thought about what to say when he worshiped the temple at the end of the year. First of all, I would like to thank the hardworking people. Without them Hard work would not make me who I am today.Then thank myself for staying up late every day to deal with official business, if I continue like this, I will die suddenly...

Zhao Xu tugged at the corner of his clothes: "Daddy!"

Zhao Yiyi looked down at her: "What's wrong? Are you hungry?"

Zhao Xu's temperament was restless, and he could jump up and down for half of the day. He was very energetic, so he naturally ate a lot and became hungry quickly.

Zhao Yiyi ate three meals a day, but based on his careful observation and conservative estimation, Zhao Xu had to eat about six meals a day.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xu shook his head: "I'm not hungry. Dad, where's that pretty brother last night?"

Zhao Yiyi's face remained unchanged and he said: "What beautiful brother? No one came last night."

Zhao Xu looked at him sharply: "Father is lying! It's obvious!"

Zhao Yiyi smiled: "That's right. He's very busy. What can you do with him?"

His daughter's love for beauty is too strong at such a young age, she obviously only saw it once in a half-dream and half-awake, how could she still remember it until now.

Zhao Yiyi thought that Zhao Xu would give an answer like "I want to play with my pretty brother". After all, what a child of her age wants most is a playmate.Didn't you see her chasing Xueqiu'er every day, refusing to be idle for a moment?

If you are free, you will be very lonely in the huge palace.

In the end, Zhao Xu raised his head and looked at him seriously: "Put brother in the yard to watch."

Put it in the yard, do you think it is a vase...

He has a bad temper, be careful he blows up your old man's palace...

Zhao Yiyi touched her head: "No, brother is not a toy, so he can't put it in the yard for Xu'er."

Zhao Xu blinked: "But brother is so pretty."

"My brother is a living person. If he doesn't want to be placed in the yard, he will go by himself."

Zhao Xu didn't seem to understand why he left by himself: "Then let him not leave. If he leaves, something very bad will happen."

Zhao Yiyi was a little speechless, thinking that you are a natural 666, and you really have a heart since you were a child.

It's fine if you are a womanizer, and you can bully others without a teacher.

I never taught you this!

What a bad habit I learned from...

He squeezed Zhao Xu's cheeks: "Don't think about it, ancestor, take it easy, your father and I still count on his family to work for me, you can't bully me in the workplace, do you hear me?"

Zhao Xu murmured something, but Zhao Yiyi didn't hear clearly, so he corrected it when she knew she was wrong.

He turned to look at Liu En: "Did the queen call us a beautiful eunuch?"

If you want to put people in the yard so much, it seems that you have never seen a good-looking person, and you can't walk when you see a good-looking one.

See a few more beauties, and you should be able to get used to it gradually.

Zhao benefited thinking uncertainly.

Liu En said with a strange expression: "The queen hasn't been chosen yet, but the queen mother sent two over. They are in the side hall."

Queen Mother?Liu E?

Zhao Yiyi hurriedly said: "Tell them to come over and show the princess."

Liu E deserves to be Liu E, and her aesthetic level is first-class.

In all fairness, the two eunuchs she sent each had their own merits, and they were both rare and handsome men.

It's just that Zhao Yiyi always felt that the eyes of these two people looking at him seemed a little eager...

Liu En raised his voice and said, "You two, you will be in charge from now on..."

He glanced at Zhao Xu, who seemed dissatisfied, and changed his words: "... From now on, I will be responsible for cleaning the eaves of the side hall."

The two eunuchs looked at each other, and they didn't quite understand why they were reduced to cleaning the eaves together after spending a whole morning dressing up.

Zhao Yiyi squatted in front of the sullen Zhao Xu, and said helplessly, "Your Highness, aren't they two pretty?"

Zhao Xu lowered his head and sulked: "It's not as good-looking as my pretty brother."

Zhao Yiyi said: "Although our family does have the throne to inherit, we don't have to be so picky. Dad thinks these two are really good. The quality is not enough, so we can win by quantity."

Besides, they weren't really looking for a son-in-law. Zhao Xu was only three or four years old, and she just wanted someone who was pretty to see her...

Zhao Xu still lowered his head, refusing to look at him.

Zhao Yiyi also has nothing to do with her, this little ancestor will cause chaos if he is unhappy.If I don't comfort her today, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night...

He suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up.

That's right, isn't there such a person!

Zhao Yiyi tugged at Zhao Xu's braid: "Hey, look up."

Zhao Xu grabbed his braid and looked at him angrily.

"You haven't met your cousin yet, have you?"

Zhao Xu was stunned: "Cousin?"

I know you haven't seen it.

Di Qing has been away for more than half a year, and has just returned to Bianliang recently.Even if you two met, you should have forgotten by now.

not to mention……

Zhao Yiyi recalled it and found that Zhao Xu seemed to have never met Di Qing.

If so, why did her lustful nature explode only now?

"Your cousin, he, um, he is ten times more beautiful than the beautiful brother before."

Zhao Yiyi said nonsense: "Really, if you don't believe me, you can ask Liu En. Your cousin is beautiful and beautiful, and everyone who has seen it is amazed."

Zhao Xu's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Zhao Yiyi smiled: "Of course it is true."

"I want to see my cousin!"

Zhao Yiyi pinched her braids: "It's okay to look at your cousin, but you have to be obedient! Your cousin is not easy to enter the palace. When the Dragon Boat Festival is held, I will take you to the dragon boat. When the time comes, your cousin will be there and call you See enough!"

Zhao Xu stretched out his fingers to hook him up: "It's a deal!"

In Di Mansion, in the delivery room, Fan Lingyi exhausted her last bit of strength, and finally heard a loud cry.She immediately fell into a coma, and in a trance, dreamed of her child growing up.

Her child was born extremely beautiful, with shocking appearance and pleasant temperament. At the age of 16, he fell into the eyes of the prince. When he was 20 years old, he married the prince.

At the age of 22, he already had a son and a daughter.

This is also a pair of twins... That's right, the official family and the queen also gave birth to a pair of twins, and the official family himself is also one of the twins.It is not surprising that Chu Jun's children are also twins.

Later, the prince successfully succeeded to the throne and became the emperor, and her child was canonized as the queen.Decades of ups and downs have passed. Although the emperor is flirtatious, his heart is still tied to the queen after all.The empress passed away, and the emperor himself stopped court for three days, which is a testament to his favor.

Fan Lingyi woke up slowly with a satisfied smile.

Her child can be a queen...

Even if it's just a dream, it's a sweet dream.

In that dream, her child was so beautiful that the whole Bianliang city was overwhelmed by it.After the prince heard about it, he went to Fan's mansion to ask for an audience. He was shocked and went back to the palace immediately to ask the emperor to marry him.

so good……

And she always felt that all of this was not just a dream.

Somewhere, it seemed that the future fate was presented in front of her eyes.

Seeing that she was awake, the midwife and maid came over happily: "Madam, Madam, you are awake."

Fan Lingyi smiled and said, "Hurry up, take my..."

She wanted to say, quickly bring my daughter to me to have a look.

This is the beauty who will overwhelm the entire Bianliang in the future!

The midwife hurriedly brought a small swaddling baby.

"Congratulations madam! I'm so happy to have Lin'er! You're such a young master!"

What?little boy?

I gave birth to... a little boy?

Fan Lingyi's smile froze.
