Enter the male channel to engage in infrastructure

Before the residual heat of the Shangyuan Festival dissipated, the five thousand government soldiers rammed up the city wall in full swing.

Tao Kun would see the progress of the city wall construction every day when he went to work.

Almost every day.

I heard from the manager Caixia of the textile factory that after the soil layer of the city wall was built, His Highness would have people build a thick layer of bricks, and then coat the outside of the brick layer with a layer of cement to ensure that it is many times stronger than the city walls of the old city!

The walls of the old city hadn't been repaired for a long time, and the materials used were scarce at that time. Many places were just soil layers, which seemed vulnerable.

His Highness said, what kind of residential areas will be built in the new city in the future, as long as they have money, they can buy a house in the new city.

The more Tao Kun thought about it, the more motivated he became, and he went to work humming a little tune.

As soon as I arrived at the office, I heard the accountant at the next desk sighing.

"What's wrong?" Tao Kun asked with concern.

That man is the accountant of the textile factory, his surname is Qian, and he is quite optimistic on weekdays, why is he so sad today?

Qian accountant said: "Accountant Tao, have you heard that cloth shops in the city united to lower prices?"

"Ah?" Tao Kun was surprised, "Why do you want to lower the price?"

The money accountant said: "The cloth in our factory weaves quickly and well, and the cloth price is low. Isn't this stealing the business of those cloth shops?"

"Is price reduction useful?" Tao Kun was puzzled.

"Of course it works!" The money accountant said gloomyly, "after the price of the cloth shop has been lowered after the new year, not only the common people, but even the rest of the caravans are more willing to go to the cloth shop to buy cloth."

"The cloth in cloth village is much cheaper than in the factory?"

"It's not much cheaper, but even if it's a cent or two, it's still money."

The money accountant shook his head, "What's more, the cloth shop has more patterns."

Although the output of the textile mill is high, compared with the old cloth shop, the textile factory lacks professional printing and dyeing skills. The people at the bottom may not care about the color of the fabric, but the people in the middle and upper classes are naturally more willing to buy good-looking ones.

The efficiency of textile mills is about to drop sharply.

When Tao Kun heard this, his original good mood could not help but cast a cloud of gloom.

He doesn't think that the cloth shop in the city will keep lowering the price.

When His Highness's factory can't be opened, they will definitely raise the price again.

He was greatly favored by His Highness, so he naturally didn't want to see His Highness's textile factory damaged.

Lou Yu knows what the accountant knows.

Feng Erbi said angrily: "What good will it do me if they lower the price?!"

Lou Yu showed no concern on the surface: "When my factory loses profits and has to close down, they can resume the previous sales model."

It's a normal business approach.

The key is within the reasonable and legal scope, even if Lou Yu is the eldest son, he can't do anything to them.

"Your Highness, what if the factory really collapses?"

Not only are they worried, but the female workers are also worried.

Who wants to lose this decent, well-paying job?

The cloth in the warehouse was already piled up. Seeing that the factory was struggling to make ends meet, some female workers secretly cried.

Caixia and Fengchun are also anxious, but they don't show it on their faces.

They said solemnly: "Why are you all crying?! We can't think of a way to not have His Highness!"

"What can your Highness do?" said a female worker, "Could it be that Your Highness builds another dyeing workshop?"

Caixia: "..."

It seems that it is not impossible!

She took advantage of Lou Yu's free time to beg to see him and told him about it.

Unexpectedly, Lou Yu shook his head and said with a smile: "The cloth shops in the city are all time-honored, and their cloth dyeing skills are considered top-notch in Gyeongju. Why should I compete with them for this?"

"Your Highness, if this continues, the textile factory will be unable to make ends meet. Is it really necessary to shut down?"

She was worried that His Highness would not be able to make money, and she was also worried that the female workers would not be able to find a place in the future.

Lou Yu smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? Let them lower the price if they lower the price. Maybe they will ask me to cooperate in the future."

Most people are dubious about Lou Yu's words.

Believe it because His Highness has never uttered big words, and not believe it because they can't think of any other tricks His Highness can think of.

Even the owner of the cloth shop in the city is waiting for the victory.

Lou Yu was not in a hurry, he was waiting.

Finally, Yao Jin came back from the Western Regions.

Their fleet was packed to the brim, even a lot more than when they went.

Before the convoy entered the city, Lou Yu got the news.

With a happy expression on his face, he told the servants: "Let them wait for me at the gate of the city, and I will go right away!"

Handyman:?

His Highness wants to greet him in person?This Yao Jin has too much face!

Feng Erbi murmured: "Your Highness, let them come to the mansion to see you directly, why do you have to go in person?"

Lou Yu didn't have time to pay attention to him at all, and hurriedly rode to the city gate.

Yao Jin, Wang Dayong and others all saluted.

Lou Yu looked at the long line of convoys and smiled sincerely: "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, it's a villain's blessing to be able to serve His Highness." Yao Jin grinned and flattered.

What he said was not against his will.

Along the journey, they have seen starvation everywhere, seeing Yi Zi eating, those cruel and terrifying scenes, Yao Jin will never forget them all his life.

Only in Gyeongju can he feel a burst of vitality.

And all of this is because there is an extraordinary master in Gyeongju.

Yao Jin followed Lou Yu before, and Lou Yu's identity was the main reason, but now he is completely convinced by Lou Yu, and he is willing to serve Lou Yu.

Lou Yu asked, "Have you bought the flower seeds and petals?"

"I bought it!" Yao Jin's cracked face was full of smiles, "Your Highness, please rest assured, the villain also asked the locals how to grow white cloud flowers."

"Very good! You have made great achievements in this trip, and you will be rewarded!" Lou Yu's eyebrows and eyes were filled with joy.

Pointing to the sack on the car, he asked, "Is it Baiyunhua in here?"

"Your Highness, do you want to see it? The villain will untie it now."

Yao Jin untied the mouth of the bag, revealing the white cotton inside.

Lou Yu stretched out his hand and twirled some out, put it on his hand and tugged it, and suddenly said: "This flower...is so tough and soft, isn't it similar to silk?"

"Ah?" Yao Jin was really surprised.

He didn't go deep into the Western Regions for the first time, he just bought flower seeds from merchants in the Western Regions, and he didn't know the true function of the white cloud flower.

Accompanied by Wang Dayong and others this time, they arrived at the place where white cloud flowers were planted, only then did they know that white cloud flowers can be used to make clothes!

This discovery surprised them.

On the way back, they were still thinking about how to persuade His Highness to use white cloud flowers to spin and weave cloth. Unexpectedly, His Highness just glanced at it and asked such a question!

Yao Jin, Wang Dayong and others couldn't help but look at each other.

Wang Dayong and others sincerely admired him.

I have always heard that others praised His Highness for being unparalleled in wisdom and wisdom, but now it seems that this is indeed the case.

How many people in the world can think of weaving with flowers when they see Baiyun flowers?

Seeing Yao Jin and the others stunned, Lou Yu couldn't help laughing and said, "Why don't we go to Xincheng Textile Factory first to see if we can spin it into cloth."

Yao Jin came back to his senses, and his flattery was even more sincere: "Your Highness's thoughts are simply incomparable! If it can be made into a cloth, it will benefit all people!"

The cloth made of Baiyunhua is soft and breathable, and has both the advantages of silk and linen. If it can be widely planted, the price will be low at that time. Isn't it a blessing for the people of Dasheng!

Your Highness is amazing!

A group of people came to the textile factory.

As soon as they entered the factory, Yao Jin, Wang Dayong and others were overwhelmed by the huge spinning wheel.

When had they ever seen such a spinning wheel? !

It’s too shocking!

Yao Jin didn't come back to his senses for a while. He claimed to be well-informed, and he had never seen such a huge spinning wheel, nor had he seen a spinning wheel that could weave so much cloth in a short time.

Open your eyes, open your eyes!

The cotton that Yao Jin brought back had been seeded, and he also brought back the tools used by the local residents to pluck the cotton, which was much more convenient.

Lou Yu sincerely praised him for his "exquisite mind".

Yao Jin cheerfully taught the female workers how to play cotton and weaving techniques.

As the so-called one-stop shop.

The weaving girls were already familiar with the silk and hemp weaving techniques. Although the cotton weaving techniques were somewhat different from those of silk and hemp, they understood everything about it under Yao Jin's narration.

Lou Yu confessed to Caixia and Fengchun: "The one who weaves the cloth first will be rewarded."

Cotton can not only be used for weaving, but also for making padded jackets and quilts.

It's just that the number Yao Jin brought back was limited, and the winter was about to pass, so Lou Yu gave up making padded jackets.

He handed over all the lint to the textile factory, and asked Yao Jin, "How many flower seeds are there?"

"Returning to Your Highness, I brought back three carts of flower seeds this time, but the villain heard from the local residents that only [-] to [-]% of them can support them."

Lou Yu nodded, [-]% to [-]% is nothing.

In fact, the working people in ancient times were very wise. As long as they can earn more money, they are willing to spend their time on research.

Take the dung field as an example, Lou Yu believes that many people know this truth.

But working in the Wangfu farm, no matter how much food they grow, it will not reach their hands.

Who will actively do things that are not beneficial to themselves?

As for the rest of the farmers, how many high-quality fields can they get?No amount of manure can increase yields much.

The same goes for growing cotton.

The survival rate of cotton seeds is only [-]% to [-]% today, but as long as planting cotton can bring benefits to the people, the people will definitely take the initiative to increase the survival rate of cotton seeds and increase cotton production.

As the helm of Gyeongju, he doesn't need to do everything himself, he just needs to issue policies and guide the people.

After half a month, the female workers finally succeeded in weaving a piece of cotton cloth after hard work!

The cloth is fine and compact, gentler and softer than linen, more breathable and more comfortable than silk, very suitable for making clothes.

After the female workers weave it, they will know the value of the cloth.

When the cloth was presented in front of Lou Yu, Lou Yu couldn't help being a little excited.

He stretched out his hands to caress for a while, and said solemnly to Cai Xia: "From now on, this cloth will be called 'cotton cloth', remember?"

Cai Xia's beautiful eyes are shining brightly: "Your Highness, this servant will remember!"

Due to the small amount of lint, the output of cotton cloth is still very low, so Lou Yu has no plan to promote it now.

He had people make two sets of obscene clothes out of cotton cloth for his father, mother, elder sister and himself.

King Qing and Princess Qing were used to wearing silk and satin, and when they first put on cotton underwear, they felt that it was no worse than silk and satin, and it was more sweat-absorbing than silk and satin, so it was very comfortable to wear.

"Mother, look, this cotton cloth should be made more!"

Lou Quan also agreed: "I heard that the price of lint cotton is much cheaper than silk. Is brother planning to promote planting?"

As for King Qing, he has never had a say in such matters.

Lou Yu nodded: "The promotion also has to be done step by step, there is no rush."

More haste less speed.

Let's do some experimentation first.

This time he didn't plan to set up a test field in the Wangfu Farm. After all, the farm's soil is stronger than the newly cultivated land, so it's more cost-effective to use it to grow wheat and potatoes.

Since the newly reclaimed land has been allocated to new residents, Lou Yu can't force others to grow cotton, so he makes another announcement.

The announcement said: His Royal Highness wants to try to grow a new crop of cotton, and intends to requisition some fields.For every acre requisitioned, farmers are willing to be subsidized by [-]%.The [-]% is calculated based on the average yield per mu in Gyeongju last year.In addition, [-]% of the crops grown are handed over, and the remaining [-]% ​​are reserved for personal use.

Most of the farmers did not know how to read, so Lou Yu sent small officials to spread the word.

Someone asked: "What kind of crops do you want to grow? Can you still have wheat?"

Most of them have suffered from hunger, and wheat is their lifeblood. It is more difficult for them not to grow wheat to grow other things than to kill them.

"Hand in [-]%?! This won't work!"

If they grow wheat, they only need to pay [-]% after the autumn harvest!

The little official explained: "Isn't it going to subsidize you with [-]% of the wheat?"

"That's not OK!"

If they grow that kind of cotton, they can only get [-]% of the wheat and [-]% of the cotton in the end!

Does anyone know what that cotton is?

They don't want to do business that loses money.

No one is willing to take this risk, which is expected by Lou Yu.

But there are also people who are willing to take risks just to follow the policy of His Royal Highness.

Ma Gui escaped from other places.

On the way to escape, he heard that Gyeongju accepts refugees, not only providing them with food, but also willing to provide them with work.

He was skeptical at first, but looking at the sallow and emaciated mother-in-law and the six-month-old little daughter, he still chose to embark on the road to Gyeongju.

The family of three finally arrived in Gyeongju after going through untold hardships.

As soon as I arrived in Gyeongju, I saw a lot of people queuing outside the city gate.

Only after he asked did he know that all refugees had to register and get an "identity card" before they could receive food.

Ma Gui endured the hunger, held his daughter in his arms, and led his mother-in-law to the back of the team.

The waiting time is quite excruciating.

Ma Gui anxiously and excitedly stared at the shorter and shorter line ahead——

At last it was him.

The little official in charge of registration asked seriously: "What's your name? Where did you come from? How many people are in your family? What does it have to do with you?"

Ma Gui didn't hear clearly for a while, and couldn't remember so many questions at all, so he just said, "My name is Ma Gui."

"Which place?"

"Tongzhou."

"Who are they from you?" The clerk patiently pointed to his wife and daughter and asked.

"One is my wife, and the other is my daughter." Ma Gui said honestly.

The little official wrote it down, took out a wooden sign, and drew three marks on it.

The first two are longer, and the last one is only half as long.

"Here, go over there and get something. Next."

Dazed, Ma Gui walked towards the direction he pointed, but there was still a queue there.

He waited in line for a long time before he got his things.

A small tent, a small bag of wheat flour.

The fleeing people usually bring their belongings to eat, and Ma Gui is no exception.

With wheat noodles, they will have something to eat today!

He looked at his wife beside him, who was crying with joy.

In the evening, they finally had hot batter.

Gyeongju is so nice!Those people didn't lie to him!

The two fell asleep with hope for the future.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, the daughter suddenly cried out in shock and developed a fever!

Ma Gui and his wife were in a hurry, what should they do?The city gate has been closed, where can they find a doctor?

I want to go to the countryside to find a barefoot doctor, but they don't know where they live, so where can I find them? !

Just as he was panicking, footsteps came from outside the tent.

"Is anyone there? What happened to the kid inside?"

In this world, is there such a warm-hearted person?

Ma Gui seemed to have grasped at straws, and hurried out of the tent: "Brother, my daughter has a fever, can you help me?"

After he finished speaking, he realized that the clothes that the man was wearing were the same as those who registered and distributed food during the day.

Ma Gui was worried about being scolded, but he heard the man say, "Have a fever? This is not a trivial matter. Come with me."

Ma Gui didn't react.

"What are you still doing? Take your daughter to see the doctor!"

Ma Gui came back to his senses, immediately greeted his wife, hugged his daughter, and the family of three followed behind the little official.

The night was silent, and the atmosphere was shockingly silent.

Looking around, Ma Gui saw that there were patches of fields, and he couldn't hold back, and asked, "My lord, where are you taking us?"

The little official said: "Go and see the doctor, there is a medical center on the farm."

Hearing his calm voice, Ma Gui was not impatient, so he boldly asked, "My lord, why are you still outside the city so late?"

"I was on duty at night, and I passed by when I heard the movement from your side."

"On duty?" Ma Gui was puzzled, "What is your lord on duty?"

The little official yawned and said lazily, "I'm on duty for you."

Ma Gui quickly said: "My lord, please don't worry, we will definitely not make trouble!"

With such good treatment, fools will make trouble, and they don't need people to watch at night.

The little official smiled suddenly: "I'm not afraid of you making trouble. Your Highness is afraid that your new refugees will not acclimatize, just like your little girl who has a fever. He is afraid that something will happen to you, so he ordered us to take turns to be on duty."

Ma Gui:? ? ?

This is really beyond his cognition!

Afraid that something might happen to them, so they sent someone on duty?

Isn't this really a Bodhisattva alive?

At this moment, a deep emotion overwhelmed him.

He was very grateful to the Highness whom the little official was talking about.

When he arrived at the medical hall, he realized that this was the farm of the Wangfu, and His Highness was the owner of it, and the medical hall was specially built by His Highness for the convenience of the farm households to see a doctor.

Now it is convenient for them.

If there is no medical center in the farm, they will have to wait overnight to go to the city to see a doctor.

Seeing a doctor in the city is expensive, and he can't afford it at all.

etc--

He has no money!

Ma Gui said suddenly: "Doctor! I, I didn't bring any money..."

The doctor who treated his daughter was a young doctor, who was good-looking and kind-hearted.

When they came just now, the door of the clinic was closed and the lights were off, so it can be seen that the doctor had already rested.

But when they heard their intentions, they opened the door for consultation without hesitation.

What a nice guy!

Chen Xuancan glanced at him: "You are new here, you can pay on credit first."

Credit is also available!

Ma Gui was so pleasantly surprised that he couldn't help but look at the little official.

The clerk nodded: "In the future, you will have to pay back."

Ma Gui nodded again and again: "Of course! Of course!"

Why are people in Gyeongju so nice!

He felt that this was already the best thing, but he didn't expect there to be even better!

His Highness the Crown Prince of Gyeongju not only provided them with a house to live in, but also allocated them fields!

Which god came down to save the suffering? !

He settled down in Gyeongju without hesitation.

The moment he was assigned to the ground, he hugged his wife with tears in his eyes, choked up and said: "His Royal Highness is our family's great benefactor, and we must repay him well in the future!"

Working hard to farm the land is the best reward for His Royal Highness!

The wife also nodded with tears in her eyes.

The little girl in her arms showed an innocent smile.

After the new announcement came out, most people were unwilling to give up their land to the prince for expropriation.

Ma Gui just hesitated for a moment, then discussed with his wife: "Your Highness wants to grow cotton, but you still need our permission. How can there be such a kind and noble person in this world?"

The wife said: "Yes, our land was given by His Highness, Dagui, why don't we sign up!"

"Okay! Can His Highness harm us?!"

That's how Ma Gui signed up.

After winter passed, Ma Gui had already built a thatched hut for himself, as did the rest of the refugees, so there were many neighbors around his house.

Someone knew that he had signed up, so he couldn't help saying: "Dear Gui, do you really plan to grow cotton in your own field?"

Ma Gui knew what they were going to say, and said cheerfully, "What is your own land? Isn't it all rewarded by His Highness? What does His Highness want to plant?"

The rest of the people turned hot and changed the subject.

This is the truth, but how many people are really willing to take risks?

But no matter what, there will always be people like Ma Gui who know how to repay their kindness.

Lou Yu successfully expropriated an appropriate amount of land.

He called Yao Jin and Lin Dajing, and said, "Cotton planting is extremely important, you two must work together to set an example in front of the people of Gyeongju!"

The two said in unison: "Yes!"

As long as cotton is produced, and as long as cotton can bring benefits, ordinary people will spontaneously plant it.

In the next few years, Gyeongju's crops will be mainly wheat, supplemented by potatoes and cotton.

In a blink of an eye, it was spring plowing.

Lin Dajing is very competent as the agricultural manager. After the autumn harvest last year, many farmers in Gyeongju began to compost, using manure and phosphate fertilizers.

Lou Yu bought so many cattle, sheep and horses from Wutimu, and produced a lot of manure every day, all of which were supplied to the farmland.

There is also the silt dug out when dredging the river, which is also transported to the fertile fields.

As for phosphate fertilizer, except for livestock bones, those fish bones, shrimp shells and crab shells are all in short supply, and this has even led to the prosperity of the fishing industry.

Fishermen on the seaside also made more money because of this.

One link after another, these are all linkage effects.

In the coming year, farmers will have a bumper harvest and have stronger purchasing power, which will also drive the development of industry and commerce.

This cycle goes on and on, and Gyeongju City will get better and better.

During the busy season of farming, Guo's mansion suddenly received a letter.

The letter arrived in Lou Yu's hands.

The letter was sent from the capital, and the sender was an old acquaintance of Guo Lian in the same year, that is, a friend who was admitted to the Jinshi in the same year, named Fang Huan.

This Fang Huan is now serving as the minister of the Ministry of Industry in the capital, which is not a small official.

He said in the letter:

"Brother Guo, I haven't seen you for many years, and I miss you very much. How are you doing recently? I heard that you have a good business in Gyeongju, and your life is very prosperous. Unlike me, your life is a mess.

"The capital city is not at peace right now. They are fighting so darkly that I am really worried that I will be affected. Your son will be seventeen this year, right? With brother Guo's teaching, he must be very talented. Unfortunately, my incompetent fool really makes me worry. !

"How about this, I'll let that worthless person go to Qingzhou to visit you on my behalf, and learn more economics from your son, and please take care of me!"

After reading the letter, Lou Yu was silent for a long time.

Seeing his serious expression, Feng Erbi asked worriedly, "Your Highness, did you say something bad in the letter?"

Lou Yu shook his head, frowning tightly: "I was just thinking, how big is this Minister Fang's heart!"

"what?"

"Now that the chaos outside is like this, isn't he worried that his son will be killed on the road?"

Lou Yu wasn't cursing Fang Shilang's son, he was just talking about the facts.

Feng Erbi also felt the same: "It stands to reason that anyone who can be admitted to Jinshi would not be too stupid."

This remark makes sense.

Therefore, you can't believe everything that Fang Shilang said.

What could be the matter that made him send his son out of the capital despite the rough road ahead?

Could it be that something happened in the capital? !

He immediately called Feng Sanmo.

"Look at this letter."

Feng Sanmo took Yilan, his complexion changed slightly, and he quickly knelt down and said: "I have neglected my duty and failed to discern the situation in the capital in time!"

"Well, let Anbu find out immediately why Fang Huan is so eager to let his son leave the capital." Lou Yu said flatly.

"Slave obeys orders!"

After Feng Sanmo withdrew, Lou Yu closed his eyes and recalled the plot of the original book.

But unfortunately, he only remembers that in the 30th year of his work, the rebel army first appeared on the stage in Tongzhou.

This group of rebels called themselves the "Tianshengjiao" and claimed to be followers of the Tianshengjiao, and they came to the mortal world to save the suffering.

In a short period of time, Tiansheng Sect has attracted countless poor people, and its momentum is extremely large.

The leader of the rebel army is "Tiansheng Dadi", and there are many "immortal classes" under him, and the whole sect is divine.

At first, the imperial court didn't pay much attention to this funny Tianshengjiao, and sent troops to suppress it a few times symbolically, but left it alone after seeing that it stopped making trouble.

Unexpectedly, in the 33rd year of Zhengqian, Tiansheng Emperor led a group of immortals and followers, and almost broke through the gate of the capital!

Only then did the emperor realize the seriousness of the situation, and hastily dispatched troops.

However, after several rounds of strife between the DPRK and China, the DPRK and China no longer had any outstanding generals who could lead troops to fight, and they fought and failed repeatedly.

Later, he deliberately dispatched generals from the border to force the Tianshengjiao to retreat.

Dasheng civil strife, how could the Beiman not seize this opportunity?

The useful generals at the border were transferred away, and the barbarian king led his troops to storm the border, causing Dasheng to lose its cities one after another.

At that time, Gyeongju was attacked by the rebels and salt workers again. Huo Yan left Gyeongju City and started his counterattack.

Now it is the spring of the 30th year of work, and there are still three years before the uprising army almost broke through the capital.

He originally thought that he still had three years.

But Fang Huan's letter suddenly gave him a sense of crisis.

What was it that caused Fang Huan to make such a choice?

Before Feng Sanmo could find out the news, Lou Yu dispatched additional manpower to quickly build the walls of the new city, and dispatched soldiers to reinforce the walls of the old city.

Soon, Feng Sanmo brought back news.

The emperor was old, and the princelings in the capital were fighting fiercely with the three princelings. Fang Huan was really worried about being implicated, so he sent his son away first.

Fang Huan is a princeling, and now the three princelings are growing stronger, faintly suppressing the princelings, the situation is very serious.

To Lou Yu, this was a false alarm, as long as it wasn't a big change.

Although he has read the original work thoroughly, the perspective of the original work has always been on Huo Yan. The plot before the destruction of Gyeongju City basically seldom mentions the capital city.

Therefore, Lou Yu is not very clear about the process of the confrontation between the princelings and the three princelings.

All he knew was that the emperor hadn't died the day Qingzhou City was broken.

He asked Feng Sanmo: "Who are the princelings?"

"The leader is the Fan family, and Yan, Shen, and Jiang are all involved."

Lou Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Fan family.

Because the rebel army almost broke through the capital is a big event, so it is written in the book.

The Fan family died in this battle to defend the capital.

He still felt strange before, why would all the civil servants be martyred?Shouldn't the guards of the capital be generals?

Even if the Fan family kept the festival, they should kill themselves after the city is broken, right?

Thinking about it now, perhaps other interests were involved in the battle to defend the capital.

For example, the Three Princelings tried to take the opportunity to eradicate loyal supporters of the Princelings.

But there is another point that is very contradictory.

The destruction of the Fan family will be three years later, that is to say, the Fan family or the princelings are far from exhausted, so why is Fang Huan so anxious to stay behind?

unless--

The current development of the situation has deviated from the rhythm of the original work.

After thinking about it, Lou Yu felt that this explanation was the most reasonable.

If this is the case, his three-year development time may be shortened.

Thus, Prince Qing's Mansion and all his subordinates who were close to Lou Yu found that Lou Yu had changed.

He forgot to sleep and eat more than before, day and night.

No one can persuade you.

Feng Erbi was so anxious that he had no choice but to massage and soothe Lou Yu every day, taking care of his daily life.

Under his pressure, all work efficiently.

Strings will break if they are taut, and so will people.

No one can understand the urgency in Lou Yu's heart, and he can't confide in others, so he can only bear it alone.

He suffers from insomnia every night, and his mind is full of future development plans for Gyeongju City.

He must keep Qingzhou city safe!

Under such extreme pressure, Lou Yu still couldn't handle it.

he is sick.

My brain was hot and I was confused, and I lay on the bed and called "Mom" continuously.

But his voice was dry and hoarse, and his voice was so shallow that no one could hear him clearly.

Concubine Qing burst into tears with distress, Lou Quan looked at the bed in dismay, choked up and unable to speak.

Chen Chuanbai checked Lou Yu's pulse, and after a while he sighed: "Your Highness is overly worried, and you are deeply depressed."

He had witnessed the changes in Gyeongju City with his own eyes, and he knew exactly how much Lou Yu had put his heart and soul into it.

Because of this, Chen Chuanbai loves him very much.

Concubine Qing cried: "I don't know what he is anxious about every day, no matter how much I persuade him, I don't listen to him, he is very ill."

"Princess, don't worry. Your Highness is fine. This old man will prescribe a prescription. After the fever subsides, he will use some calming medicine."

"Okay, thank you, Doctor Chen."

Chen Chuanbai waved his hand: "The concubine is very old. It is right for me to treat Your Highness. Your Highness is the backbone of our Qingzhou. We all wish him well."

What he said reached Princess Qing's heart, and Princess Qing wiped away her tears and said, "Old Chen has a heart."

Huo Yan was training cavalry in the field and was not in the city. It was already the next day when he got the news.

He immediately rode his horse and galloped straight to Prince Qing's mansion.

Lou Yu had already woken up and was leaning on the bed to drink medicine.

"Your Highness, Commander Huo is seeking an audience outside the courtyard." The servant came to report.

Feng Erbi frowned and said: "He won't come to His Highness to discuss military affairs again? Your Highness, you haven't recovered from your illness. The doctor said you can't think too much, you have to relax, so you can recover quickly. Otherwise, I will ask you, if something is wrong Important, the slave refused."

In Feng Erbi's mind, Lou Yu's body is the most important thing, and other things should be put aside.

Lou Yu finished drinking the medicine, handed the bowl to him, and said with a smile, "It's okay, let him in."

Soon, Huo Yan stepped into the room in military uniform.

At a glance, he saw the emaciated prince on the bed.

Lou Yu smiled lightly and asked, "What are you doing standing there? Come and sit."

Huo Yan sat down in front of his couch in silence.

"What did you come to see me for?"

Huo Yan knew his illness, so naturally he wouldn't really talk about it, but he couldn't say nothing, so he said:

"Ah Qiong made some paper kites with her own hands, and she asked me to ask you if you want to go for an outing together."

Early spring is a good time for outings.

Feng Erbi's spirit was shocked, and he quickly echoed: "Yes, Your Highness, now is a good time for an outing, and I haven't let Zhiyuan go for a long time. Can Your Highness take you with me?"

How could Lou Yu not know their intentions?

He laughed and said, "Okay, let's go outing together."

Everyone in Prince Qing's mansion was beaming when they heard that His Royal Highness was going to go for an outing.

Princess Qing personally prepared a cart of snacks for Lou Yu, and told him to wear more clothes to avoid the wind and cold in the wild.

Lou Yu originally wanted to take his family to go for an outing, but King Qing liked to stay at home, Princess Qing only loved to dance with swords, and Lou Quan was busy with financial work, so in the end, he could only take Feng Erbi with him.

They went to the outskirts of the South Gate.

The spring is bright and the grass grows and the warblers fly.

Lou Yu's tense mind some time ago did relax a little.

He rode on horseback with Huo Yan, and asked with a smile, "Didn't you say that Arjun made a kite? Why didn't she follow?"

"She and A Xuan have already gone." Huo Yan said.

Lou Yu was surprised: "Then why didn't you go together, instead you came to the palace first?"

"I am the commander, so naturally I have to follow His Highness closely."

This is natural and reasonable, Lou Yu just thought he was showing his loyalty, and couldn't help laughing: "You said you were out for an outing, and you're still so serious?"

He turned around and asked Feng Erbi: "Erbi, do you think so?"

"Your Highness, this time I'm serving Commander Huo, hehe." Feng Erbi said boldly.

He felt that Huo Yan valued His Royal Highness's safety and deserved praise.

Lou Yu shook his head and laughed.

The three walked together to a wilderness, not far away Huo Qiong and Huo Xuan were squatting on the ground playing with paper kites, Yang Ji'an was also there.

"His Royal Highness is coming!" Yang Ji'an saw it first, and immediately stood up and ran towards Lou Yu.

He is a year older, taller a lot, and now looks like a big guy.

"Your Highness, the kites are ready, let's release the kites together!"

Lou Yu dismounted with a smile, "Okay, let's see who puts it the highest."

Yang Ji'an was full of enthusiasm: "Your Highness, I can release paper kites! I will definitely not lose!"

"Really? I'm not bad at letting go!"

Yang Ji'an chuckled: "I see the real chapter under my hands!"

"Row!"

The two came to Huo Qiong and asked Huo Qiong to give them paper kites.

What Lou Yu got was a bunny pattern again.

He is helpless, it can't be because he is a rabbit, he is always associated with rabbits, right?

Yang Ji'an's is a small snake.

Putting paper kites is a technical job, and Lou Yu boasts that his skills are not bad.

He asked Feng Erbi to hold the paper kite and run against the wind.

When the kite gradually lifted into the air, he would release the thread bit by bit, controlling the direction and strength of the kite while releasing it.

In order not to let the kite fall, Lou Yu must concentrate without any distraction.

He stared firmly at the rising paper kite, and gradually forgot all his worries and troubles.

"Wow! Your Highness is amazing!"

Huo Qiong exclaimed excitedly.

Huo Xuan was not to be outdone: "Your Highness flies so high!"

Yang Ji'an heard it not far away, looked at his own kite, and then at Lou Yu's kite.

Your Highness's kite is really tall!

Your Highness knows everything!

With this distraction, Yang Ji'an's kite turned sharply and fell to the ground.

He ran over to pick it up, but didn't let it go, he just watched how high Lou Yu could put it.

After all, the pulling line is limited, and the kite has reached its highest position.

Feng Erbi applauded excitedly: "Your Highness is amazing!"

Don't forget to "force" others to agree: "Huo Yan, do you think so!"

Huo Yan stared at Lou Yu quietly, with warm eyes and a light smile.

"Well, great."

Lou Yu's arms were sore from pulling the string for a long time, but he couldn't bear to let go of the kite, so he said, "Erbi, come and replace me!"

Feng Erbi immediately ran over to take over his position. His skills were not bad, and he didn't lose after slipping around.

After releasing the paper kite for a while, Lou Yu's heartstrings became more and more relaxed. He walked up to Huo Yan and thumped Huo Yan's front shoulder: "Thank you."

Huo Yan asked: "Do you want to run a horse?"

The place is flat and there are few people, so it is indeed suitable for horse racing.

"go!"

Lou Yu quickly got on his horse, and galloped away without waiting for Huo Yan.

But a master is a master, and his equestrian skills were taught by Huo Yan. After all, he has not yet surpassed himself, and Huo Yan soon caught up.

Riding horses in the wilderness, recklessly and wildly.

It was only then that Lou Yu truly felt the long-lost relaxation.

With this relaxation, his whole body became lazy.

The speed of the horse gradually slowed down.
