Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

When Min Chong and Dou Qiye were about to finish their journey, Pei Linzhi returned home.

He originally had a dignified face and a look of preoccupation, but when he saw Min Chong and Dou Qiye, he put his affairs aside.

Today is a day of great joy for His Highness, and the matter of the sky falling is put aside.

The women worked together and made a very sumptuous supper.

Xiao Yu ordered people to bring out the rice wine that had been prepared long ago and waited for the celebration, poured it on all the crew members, and rewarded them for their hard work in the past half a year.

Xiao Yu, who hadn't had dinner with everyone for a long time, also came over this time, but other people had big fish and meat, big bowls of wine, and he just had a rough meal.

Min Chong was very surprised: "Mr. Lang, what's wrong?"

Xiao Yu said: "My father passed away a few months ago, and now he is observing filial piety, so he can't drink with everyone. I will offer you a glass of tea instead of wine."

Speaking of it, it has not been three months, and there is no banquet and drinking, but it is only a few days away. It is simply unreasonable to care so much about him, not doing anything good for the people during his lifetime, and making others suffer after his death.

Min Chong was taken aback for a moment: "My condolences to Mr. Lang."

Xiao Yu said: "Thank you. But don't take it to heart, people are mortal."

The lively A Ping was the happiest when meeting such a gathering. He sat between Xiao Yu and Pei Lin, gnawed on a chicken leg, and was very happy.

Min Chong looked at Xiao Yu and Pei Linzhi who took good care of A Ping, and always felt something strange, but he couldn't tell.

After dinner, the crew members went back to rest. Man Yu didn't go home for the time being, and Pei Linzhi would send him to Zhoucheng to see a doctor tomorrow.

Xiao Yu arranged for someone to go on board to watch the night, so he and Pei Linzhi took A Ping to the school, and there was still class in the evening.

The wind blowing from the sea is extremely cool, Xiao Yu walked briskly: "I really want to go to the boat to see now, they brought a lot of things back, I really got rich this time, hehe."

Seeing his excited face, Pei Linzhi hesitated whether to tell him the news he had heard, really didn't want to throw cold water at this time.

Xiao Yu finally remembered something: "By the way, why did you come back so late today?"

Pei Linzhi pondered for a moment, then said: "Lang Jun, King Yu may be gone."

Xiao Yu was stunned: "What's going on? Did Xiao Yi make a move?"

Pei Linzhi nodded: "Yes. Xue Zhao wrote a letter to Yao Tao. It's a bit long, so I'll talk to you slowly."

It turned out that after the death of Emperor Jingping, Xiao Yi issued several imperial decrees. Except for Xiao Yin who was a hostage, Liang Wang Xiaoyou, Yu Wang Xiaoye, and the deposed prince Xiao Yu who was far away in Yazhou were all required to return to Beijing to watch the mourning.

Xiao Yu directly refused. He is the relegated prince, without any support, and his status is too sensitive, so if he goes to the capital, he will die.

Liang Wang and Yu Wang also felt that returning to Beijing might be life-threatening, so they coincided with each other and each led an army of [-] Chen Bing outside Jianye City.

In the name of the Qing emperor, he said that the new emperor was manipulated by a courtier, and demanded that the new emperor hand over Jin Huanran and Wen Zhun, who were courtiers.

Jin Huanran and Wen Zhun were the ministers Xiao Yi relied on most, how could Xiao Yi hand them over.

He announced to the world that the two kings of Liang and Yu's actions were firstly extremely disrespectful to the first emperor, and secondly, extremely disrespectful to him, the new emperor.

The two sides were deadlocked, the new emperor was unwilling to surrender, and the kings of Liang and Yu were unwilling to enter the city.

In the end, the new emperor sent someone to persuade the king of Yu for some reason. The king of Yu led a thousand soldiers into the city.

The king of Liang was furious, and he gathered the Liang army and the Yu army, and ordered to attack the capital Jianye in the name of rescuing the king of Yu.

The Liangyu combined army fought fiercely with the Gyeonggi garrison. The [-] Liangyu combined army who had been fighting the Hu people for a long time fought against the pampered [-] Gyeonggi garrison. The result is not difficult to guess.

Unexpectedly, the new emperor had a second move in his hand. During Liang Jun's Chen Bing period, he secretly sent someone to contact Xi Rong, and asked Xi Rong to send a small group of cavalry to attack Liangzhou City, which was guarding the emptiness.

Liangzhou City is where King Liang's state government is located. When King Liang heard the news, he sent his troops back to help, but it was still a step too late. His young wife and children were all taken captive by the Xirong people.

In exchange for his wife and children, King Liang had no choice but to withdraw from Nanzheng County and give it to Xirong.

So far, the territory of Xirong has expanded to the outside of Liangzhou City.

In this battle, the life and death of King Yu was uncertain, and King Liang lost the city and led the Xirong wolf to his door.

The new emperor is sure to win and announce to the world: Liang Wang refuses to guard his father's mourning. It is unfilial. A person of filial piety should be punished for his crime.

Not to be outdone, the King of Liang issued a call to crusade against the false emperor Xiao Yi: Xiao Yi murdered the first emperor, and gained the throne improperly;He wants to do justice for the heavens, get rid of the false emperor, and welcome the former prince Xiao Yu back to the palace.

When Xiao Yu heard this, his scalp couldn't help but tingle: "Why did I get involved, who did I provoke?" Wasn't Liang Wang cheating him?

Pei Linzhi's face was solemn: "Xiao Yi was very suspicious of Mr. Lang, but now Liang Wang has brought up his heart disease again, and I am afraid that he will deal with you directly. After I came out of the county office today, I went directly to Longhu Mountain, let them hurry up and train their weapons."

Xiao Yu's heart was filled with chills: "How will Xiao Yi deal with me?"

Pei Linzhi said: "He is still busy dealing with King Liang, so he should use some small means to deal with Mr. Lang. I guess he will send someone to bring poisoned wine over."

Xiao Yu looked at Pei Linzhi: "He wants to poison me to death?"

"This is the most labor-saving method. He is the king, and whoever he let die is a matter of one sentence." Pei Linzhi sneered.

Xiao Yu sighed: "Yes, this method is the most trouble-free. He knows that I probably won't obey, so he has a reason to deal with me in the name of resisting the decree."

Pei Linzhi looked at Xiao Yu: "No matter who it is, I will not let him touch a single hair of your lord. From today on, I will never leave your side again."

Xiao Yu felt very depressed: "I just want to make money to live a happy life, why is it so difficult!"

He hadn't finished digesting the happy event yet, and when such a disturbing incident came, he was going to be pissed off.

Xiao Yu thought of another thing: "The new governor of Yazhou has not arrived for a long time, is it because of the delay in the siege of King Liang and King Yu?"

"Exactly. Xue Zhao also mentioned in the letter that the next governor of Yazhou is called Zhao Lun, a distant nephew of the Empress Dowager Zhao. He was previously a captain in the Imperial Army. This promotion to governor is considered a leapfrog promotion. It seems that they are extremely worried about Mr. Lang, so they sent their cronies over." Pei Linzhi said with a straight face.

"Then when Zhao Lun arrives, he will know what to do with me." Xiao Yu said.

"Whoever dares to touch the gentleman, I will let him come and go." Pei Linzhi's eyes showed a stern look.

Xiao Yu realized that with his identity, it was too difficult for him to settle down. Even if he didn't want to fight, the torrent of fate would still engulf him, and it was useless to escape.

It seems that the hundreds of soldiers they have trained are far from enough.

After class was over that night, Pei Linzhi went to find Lai Feng and the other three, and Xiang Yang and Guan Shan moved back to the house that night.

Although he doesn't trust these three people very much, apart from them, he can't find a more suitable person to protect His Highness.

It was the second day that Xiao Yu found out that Xiang Yang and Guan Shan had moved back. When he got up to wash up, he saw Xiang Yang practicing in the yard.

Xiangyang's weapon is an iron whip, and the whip is long. It is said that the courtyard is a bit narrow, so it is not suitable for use, but the iron whip is like a flexible swimming dragon with eyes. It has no effect on him.

It was the first time Xiao Yu saw someone using this kind of weapon, even in film and television dramas. He stood and admired it for a while, and then applauded: "Good!"

Naturally, Xiang Yang had noticed him a long time ago, so he put away the iron whip.This whip takes up very little space when it is folded up, so it is very suitable for carrying around. It seems that Xiao Yu has always carried it with him, but Xiao Yu has never noticed that he still has a weapon on him.

Xiao Yu was very surprised: "Xiangyang, why are you practicing here?"

Xiang Yang came over and cupped his fists at him: "Go back to Mr. Pei, since last night, Mr. Pei has asked me to move back with Guan Shan."

Xiao Yu suddenly realized that it should be Pei Linzhi who was worried about his safety and called them back.Thinking that the peaceful life in the future would soon cease to exist, he felt a little uncomfortable, so he said, "Thank you."

Xiang Yang stood where he was: "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry, we will definitely protect you."

Min Chong came out of the room, looked at Xiao Yu and Xiang Yang, his eyes were full of doubts, it seemed that he was not around these days, and many accidents happened at home.

Seeing Min Chong, Xiao Yu felt better: "Dang Min can rest well, let's board the ship today and go to check the goods."

"it is good."

"Or go now, I have to go to class in the morning, or I will be free in the afternoon."

Min Chong nodded: "Then go now."

Xiao Yu came out carrying A Ping who was still asleep. The children in the family, male or female, all got up early in the morning and went to practice. No one took care of A Ping, Xiao Yu took him by himself.

Seeing this, Xiang Yang stretched out his hand to take A Ping.

On the way, Min Chong said: "All the seeds, seedlings and rhizomes needed by the gentleman are taken off the boat, and the gold and silver can also be unloaded. The rest of the ivory and tortoiseshell spices will not be moved. I will only take some for the gentleman's own use, and I will take the rest. Went to the north to change."

Xiao Yu nodded: "It's exactly what I want. When does Master Min plan to go north? The situation in the north is a bit chaotic now."

Min Chong frowned: "Is there a war?"

"Correct."

"Who hit whom?"

Xiao Yu said: "There is turmoil in An's country, and the king of Liang rebelled."

"Son hitting Lao Tzu?"

"The first emperor passed away, and my brothers fought against the wall."

Min Chong sneered contemptuously: "A group of idiots. The fight between the snipe and the clam will benefit the fisherman."

Xiao Yu spread out his hands: "That's not true."

Min Chong said: "Then go further north. Eastern Rong and Western Rong can do it, and the Hu people like these things more."

"So good."

While talking, several people had already arrived at the seashore. They rowed a small boat to the big boat, and Min Chong called out: "Jishan."

Soon, Ji Shan came to lower the rope ladder, and he stayed on the boat at night.

Min Chong went up first, Xiao Yu followed, and Xiang Yang held A Ping at the end.

Xiao Yu went up and wanted to help Xiangyang hug Aping, but Xiangyang didn't let him, he climbed the rope ladder with one hand, and got on the boat easily as if walking on flat ground.

The decks of both ships were filled with goods such as ivory, rhino horn and hawksbill turtle, as well as seedlings of various plants, because these were not afraid of rain.

Xiao Yu identified it. There were crops such as sugar cane, eggplant, water chestnut, grapes, and aloe. It may be that the conditions on the ship were limited. These crops looked very weak, and Xiao Yu felt very distressed: "Hurry up and move these ashore and plant them well. Get up, don't die, it was brought back after a lot of hard work."

Min Chong found that Xiao Yu turned a blind eye to the pile of ivory tortoiseshell giant clams, but paid special attention to the pile of fruit and vegetable seedlings, so he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Xiao Yu glanced at the ivory tortoiseshell giant clam rhinoceros horn. He didn't know how many animals were killed to get it. It was a crime, but he couldn't ask people of this age to protect wild animals, after all, he was also hunting himself.

After reading what was on the deck, I went down to the cabin, which was also stuffed with seeds of various crops, spices, gems, furs, etc.

Xiao Yu was most concerned about the seeds of the crops, and Min Chong was also very attentive. He asked people about the season and dry and wet conditions of each crop seed, and wrote them down on paper and put them in the cloth bag for the seeds.

Xiao Yu finally saw the cotton seeds and Champa rice seeds that he had been longing for. In addition to Champa rice, there were also rice from India and Siam, pomegranate, cucumber, radish, lettuce, spinach, onion, fennel, coriander, pepper The seeds of pistachio, pistachio, etc., and some Xiao Yu can't recognize, they need to be planted to know.

While Xiao Yu was happy, he was also a little worried. Some of the seeds they brought back were not suitable for the climate in Yazhou.

For example, cotton is suitable for arid climates, but Yazhou is not very suitable for planting. He is really afraid of wasting the seeds he has worked so hard for.

After Xiao Yu got on the boat, he kept looking at the seeds that Min Chong brought back. He didn't even have time to look at the gold, silver and jewels, so he should get off the boat. He was afraid that he would be late for class in the evening.

His reaction made Min Chong a little disappointed. Xiao Yu wanted to go to sea, but he dismissed so many overseas treasures brought back, but those seeds and the like were treasures. Could it be that those things are more valuable than these treasures?

Xiao Yu moved the seeds and seedlings back home, and found the most suitable place to plant those seedlings first.

As for the seeds, it is necessary to plant them carefully and minimize waste. After all, if they are wasted, they will have to wait at least a year or so before they can be repurchased.

Pei Linzhi took Man Yu to see the doctor, but Doctor Ye could do nothing about his situation.In fact, Man Yu had already accepted his fate, but when he heard the doctor say this, he was still so sad that he was only in his 20s, so could he just lie in bed forever?

Xiao Yu also felt very guilty. He asked Min Chong if he could take Man Yu with him when he went north, and take him to Guangzhou Mansion and Jianye to see a doctor. If he visited a few more famous doctors, there might be hope.

Min Chong glanced at him and nodded: "Okay, I'll take him there."

In the past few days, Min Chong and his people have been cleaning up the cargo on the ship, and it is very clear what should be moved off the ship and what should be brought to the north for exchange.

Xiao Yu also took the opportunity to distribute the wages of the crew members. Each hired crew member got about ten taels of silver, and the domestic servants got a little less, about seven taels per person.

He also promised that after the goods are sold out, he will give everyone a generous bounty.

When the crew members got their wages, the smiles on their faces widened. One trip to sea could earn the whole family’s income for several years. Although it has been a near-death experience, this business can still be done.

So even though it was only a few days after landing, when they heard that the ship was going north to sell goods, everyone actively signed up. It was so close to our door, of course we would go.

Before departure, Pei Linzhi and Xiao Yu found Min Chong.

Pei Linzhi got straight to the point: "Min is the boss, this time we are going to the north, we still want to ask you to help us with something."

Min Chong knew that Pei Rinzhi never asked him for help, so it seemed that he was in trouble this time? "Please say."

Pei Linzhi said: "We want you to help us establish a news channel in Jianye, the capital city, to inquire about news from the north and the middle of the court, especially the news from the imperial court."

Xiao Yu explained with some embarrassment: "Due to personal reasons, we need first-hand information."

Min Chong asked, "May I know the reason?"

Xiao Yu and Pei Linzhi looked at each other, Pei Linzhi nodded, and Xiao Yu smiled wryly: "The Min family has always wanted to know my real identity. My surname is Xiao, and I live in Jianye. I was exiled here because I was not liked by my father and brothers. I Father passed away on June [-]th, and the whole country is mourning for him."

Min Chong's face changed a few times, he got up from the chair, took a step back, and knelt down to worship: "The villain has seen——"

Xiao Yu hastily stretched out his arm and pulled him up: "Master Min please hurry up, I am now a commoner, and I am no longer a prince or nobleman."

After Min Chong got up, he took a few steps back, bowed down and bowed down: "The villain has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai. I have offended you a lot before, and please forgive me, Your Highness."

Xiao Yu heard that his tone was a little stiff, and couldn't help but smile wryly: "There is no Highness here, I have long been demoted to a commoner, just like you. I know you dislike people from the government, so I have never told you the truth."

Min Chong sneered: "No wonder you were able to rescue me from the government. It turns out that you are the same as them, and you have colluded with them a long time ago. I thought I had met the Ming Lord, but I didn't expect that I was just a monkey playing tricks on me. "

Pei Linzhi frowned when he heard this, and said unhappily, "What are you talking about?"

Xiao Yu shook his head helplessly: "Since Master Min thinks so, it is wishful thinking of a certain Xiao. It is up to Master Liu Min to decide for himself. Sorry to trouble you."

After he finished speaking, he stood up, Pei Linzhi also stood up, and the two were ready to leave.

Min Chong gritted his teeth, looked at the two people who had already walked to the door, and said suddenly: "Forget it, I'm unlucky, how come I met such a master as you."

Xiao Yu was overjoyed, and turned to look at Min Chong: "Did Master Min agree?"

Min Chong raised his head with a haughty look: "What did I promise?"

Xiao Yu smiled and said: "I knew that the Min family was not indiscriminate. Although I was born in an official family, I am now a commoner and have been demoted to a commoner. The current situation is that although I am far away from right and wrong land, but not far away from me. Xiao is greedy for life, so I ask you to help find a way out."

Min Chong sat down again, and raised his legs: "The new emperor wants to kill you?"

Xiao Yu nodded: "It's almost like this. He has always regarded me as a thorn in his side. Now that my father is gone, King Liang has raised troops in my name, so he will definitely not let me go."

Min Chong sneered: "There are only a few of you, how can you compete with the majestic king of a country?"

Xiao Yu smiled helplessly: "It's a little bit of a car, but I don't want to be mermaid, and I want to struggle."

Min Chong said: "I haven't been back for half a year, so I don't know much about the current situation. Tell me about the specific situation."

Pei Linzhi then explained the current situation.

Min Chong said: "So there is no governor in Yazhou at present, and the dragons have no leader, right?"

"Exactly."

Min Chong patted the back of his right hand on the heart of his left hand, and said, "It's simple, just make yourself king in Yazhou."

Xiao Yu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words, Min Chong was really angry: "You can't say it so simply."

"It's not as complicated as you think. You are the emperor's son, a former prince, and now you are a king. Is this too much?" Min Chong spread his hands, "Look, Yazhou is located in a remote place, easy to defend and difficult to attack , The imperial court must send sailors to attack this place. I will buy some boats for you and train the fishermen to become sailors. I promise you that you can live freely on the island."

Pei Rinzhi looked at Min Chong with a look of approval in his eyes. On this point, Min Chong thought of going with him.

Xiao Yu waved his hand: "That's not acceptable. I won't do things that don't go well with the name."

Min Chong looked at him in surprise: "He's going to kill you, what's wrong with that?"

Xiao Yu said, "He hasn't come to take my life yet."

Min Chong nodded: "That's fine, let's do it when he comes to kill you. I didn't expect that someone would do it for me when I wanted to do it. It's interesting, interesting!" He said Looking up and laughing.

Xiao Yu looked at him, this guy really wanted to become a king himself.

Min Chong said: "Tomorrow I will leave for the north, exchange things for money, and come back to recruit soldiers and horses for you. The most indispensable thing to do this is money."

Pei Linzhi said: "Then can I buy a few more boats this time?"

"Of course I have to buy it. Be prepared. The sailors will also be training. I will train you when I come back." Min Chong said excitedly.

Xiao Yu found that they seemed to be more interested in recruiting soldiers than sailing to make money.

I just want to be a rich man, how did I become like this now.It turns out that there are so many uncontrollable things in this world.

On the second day, Min Chong took two ships full of goods to the north. In addition to the treasures and spices bought from overseas, there were also umbrellas produced by the rain gear workshop and tea from the tea farm. It is the most popular item.

Compared with Xiao Yu's passive defense, Pei Linzhi is much more proactive than him, and he is already recruiting troops.

He recruited hundreds of private soldiers from several surrounding villages and practiced from morning to night every day.No way, they started too late, and they couldn't compare with those from Baisha Village who had been training for more than a year.

Xiao Yu just heard Pei Linzhi mention it, and he also agreed casually at that time. He didn't expect that in just a few days, the personnel would be in place, and they started to practice in a decent manner.

Xiao Yu also finally realized how expensive it is to raise an army. These people not only need food, but also wages. Without huge financial support, they cannot afford to support them.

Xiao Yu suspected that he would go bankrupt before he became a rich man, and hoped that Min Chong could bring him back a ship full of gold and silver.
