Chapter 289 I advise you to put away your petty thoughts

After hearing what Emperor Xia said, Wu Yunwan asked: "Father, are you planning to send your daughter as an envoy to Dayue?"

Wu Yunwan has the largest intelligence agency in Dawu. She has long known that Beiguo purchased land in Yong'an County and stationed 30,000 heavy cavalry in Yong'an County.

So she basically guessed what Emperor Wu planned to do next. Now the Northern Kingdom was bordering Dawu, and 30,000 heavy cavalry were stationed in the border area. If Dawu made any move against Daxia at this time, I am afraid that the Northern Kingdom would immediately Send out troops with great force.

The latest trend in the court is to send troops to Daxia. In addition, Wu Yunwan knows her father well and knows that her father will not give up sending troops to Daxia easily. Then his father will probably want to fight with Dayue next. Form an alliance and attack Daxia together.

Seeing that Wu Yunwan had already guessed his plan, Emperor Wu said, "It seems you already know it."

"Now the Northern Kingdom has 30,000 heavy cavalry stationed in Yong'an County. Once Dawu sends troops to Daxia, the Northern Kingdom is likely to attack Dawu. This makes my father very worried."

"The plan for now is to win over Dayue and let Dayue help Dawu contain the Northern Kingdom. Only in this way can Dawu have a chance to destroy Daxia."

Wu Yunwan said: "Father, my daughter understands what you mean. My daughter will go to Dayue tomorrow."

After hearing this, Emperor Wu looked at Wu Yunwan with a smile, and then said with a smile: "Then thank you for the hard work."

Having said this, Emperor Wu sighed, and then continued: "Only Yun Wanyou can ask my father to share some of the burden. Your brothers are each more useless than the other. My father often thinks, if you are a What a great man.”

Wu Yunwan instantly heard something from Emperor Wu's tone. Emperor Wu was reminding her that she was just a woman, not a man, so she shouldn't think about unrealistic things.

Although she heard the implication of Emperor Wu's words, Wu Yunwan didn't take it to heart. She had long seen her father's attitude.

Although her father named her the eldest princess, which greatly elevated her status, Emperor Wu was also trying to balance the power in the court and tried his best to train her brothers. From her father, Wu Ming With her, Beiguo could see that her father had no intention of passing the throne to his daughter.

At this time, Wu Yunwan said: "Father, my daughter understands what you mean. These are what a daughter should do. As the eldest princess of Dawu, the daughter should bear these responsibilities."

Hearing Wu Yunwan's words, Emperor Wu said with a smile: "You can understand my father's difficulties. My father is very happy. Okay, if nothing happens, you can go back and prepare."

Wu Yunwan immediately saluted and said, "Yes, my daughter is resigning."

After finishing her words, Wu Yunwan turned around and left the imperial study.

When Wu Yunwan returned to Qingyun Palace, a maid entered the Qingyun Palace excitedly and said, "Your Highness, we have something great!"

Hearing this, Wu Yunwan asked in confusion: "What's such a good thing?"

The maid replied: "During the court today, someone suggested that your majesty choose a husband for you. Mr. Chai directly stood up and asked your majesty to marry you to him."

Hearing this, Wu Yunwan's face darkened instantly, and she said coldly: "Is this the good thing you said?"

Hearing that Wu Yunwan's tone was wrong, the maid hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed immediately and said: "Your Highness, it was my fault. I shouldn't speculate on your thoughts. My crime deserves to be punished by death. Please punish me."

Chai Jiliang often went to the place where Wu Yunwan lived. After going back and forth, almost all the maids and eunuchs in Qingyun Palace thought that Chai Jiliang and Wu Yunwan had a very good relationship, and even had feelings for each other. Moreover, even at such an old age, Chai Jiliang has not yet had such a relationship. Marrying a wife without even a concubine, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Chai Jiliang is interested in the eldest princess.

The maids and eunuchs thought that the eldest princess was already in her thirties and was still unmarried. It must be because of Chai Jiliang. Now that Chai Jiliang had taken the initiative to ask His Majesty to marry the eldest princess to him, the maids of Qingyun Palace naturally felt that this was a good thing. , thinking that the eldest princess and Prime Minister Chai finally got married.

But what they didn't know was that in Wu Yunwan's eyes, Chai Jiliang was just her political partner, and she had never had even the slightest affection for Chai Jiliang.

Wu Yunwan is not a fool. She knows the path she wants to take. The path she takes will never allow her to have a relationship with her children, so she has long closed her heart and basically will not treat men. Produce emotions.

Wu Yunwan glanced at the maid on the ground indifferently, and then said: "If there is another time, you can go back to your room and hang yourself."

After hearing this, the maid quickly said: "Thank you, Your Highness, for forgiving me. I will definitely not talk too much in the future."

At this moment, a mature man's voice came, "Your Highness seems very unhappy today?"

Seeing that Chai Jiliang was coming, Wu Yunwan asked directly: "I heard that you just asked my father for a marriage in the court?"

Hearing Wu Yunwan's tone, Chai Jiliang knew that Wu Yunwan was angry, and he immediately said: "Your Royal Highness, I am buying time for you."

"You should understand that it is impossible for His Majesty to marry you to me. If I do this, I will let others know that I admire you. In this way, no one will continue to urge Your Majesty to find you a husband."

Wu Yunwan sneered, and then said: "Master Chai, I advise you to put aside your petty thoughts."

Having said this, Wu Yunwan turned around and left.

Wu Yunwan is not a fool. What Chai Jiliang did did buy her some time to a certain extent. No minister would mention her marriage in a short time.

But in this way, she is bound to Chai Jiliang. After the story of her and Chai Jiliang spreads to the people, people will definitely say that they are a talented and beautiful woman, and they are a perfect match. If Wu Yunwan ascends to the supreme position in the future, then How should it treat Chai Jiliang?

Their story has spread to the public, should she give Chai Jiliang a status?

If she didn't give Chai Jiliang a status, what would the people say about her? There is a high probability that she will be said to be unsympathetic and unjust, and has been indifferent to the emperor's heart since ancient times.

Wu Yunwan has been dealing with Chai Jiliang for so many years. How could she not know what kind of person Chai Jiliang is? Chai Jiliang always has a long-term view. He cannot just see the gains and losses in front of him.

Wu Yunwan was indeed very angry at this time, and Chai Jiliang actually plotted against her.

Seeing Wu Yunwan's leaving figure, Chai Jiliang said to himself: "It seems that I went a little too far this time."

…

Half a month later.

North.

Government Hall.

Lu Chen sat on the throne, high-spirited. He said with a smile: "This is the last time we discuss important matters in this government hall. Everyone, if you have anything to discuss recently, please bring it up quickly."

"If not, let's discuss moving to the city."

After the hard work of the people of the North and the barbarian slaves, the new city of the North has been built. The new city of the North is basically made of reinforced concrete, and the streets are very spacious. The new city also has a palace, and the area of ​​the palace is very large. Lu Chen couldn't wait to move to the new city.

The current palace is still a bit too small, and he can't do anything in the current palace. When he goes to the new city, he and his wives can do whatever they want.

After hearing what Lu Chen said, Li Rui took the initiative to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, although the construction of the new city has been completed, the prices of houses in the new city are high and ordinary people cannot afford it. I am afraid that few people in Yancheng will move to the new city."

The construction of the new city has been completed, but the construction of the new city uses reinforced concrete and red bricks. Almost all of these things came from Beiwangfu, and they are all new things and are relatively expensive. The price of houses built with these things can be imagined And know.

Although Yancheng's business has become more and more prosperous after Lu Chen came to the North, and the people in Yancheng have also made some money through trade, the number of particularly wealthy people is probably less than one percent of those in Yancheng.

If only the Northern Palace moved to the new city, but the people in the old city still stayed in the old city, what use would the new city be?

Lu Chen said with a smile: "I have already expected this, so from the beginning I asked the Jin Yiwei soldiers to register the number of people in Yancheng. At present, there are a total of 100,000 native people in Yancheng. Each of these 100,000 people Households only need to pay 500 cash to own a house in the new city."

"If you really can't get it out, you can owe it temporarily and pay it off within ten years."

After hearing this, the officials in the hall thought for a while. If it was only five hundred coins, most of the people in Yancheng should be able to take it.

The key is that the Northern King gave a ten-year repayment period. Although the people of the Northern Kingdom were relatively poor before, since the Northern Kingdom came to the Northern Kingdom, the Northern Palace has created many industries. These industries require a large number of working people. Although the core industries They all sign a contract of sale, but for some simple manual work, Beiwangfu adopts an employment system. People in Yancheng want to earn 500 yuan, so they can work in Beiwangfu's industries.

Even if you don't go to work in the industry created by Beiwangfu, with Yancheng's business and trade so developed today, there is no problem for the people of Yancheng to find something to make money. To take a step back, even if the people of Yancheng don't give any When people work, they simply go out to contract some land to grow food, and there is no problem in paying back 500 Wen within ten years.

Therefore, the price set by Lu Chen is quite reasonable.

Lu Chen said at this time: "Of course, this price is only for the people of Yancheng. If people from outside want to buy houses in Yancheng, it will be a different price."

At this time, an official asked: "Your Majesty, what if the people of Yancheng sell their houses to others at a high price?"

Lu Chen said calmly: "People in Yancheng are not allowed to trade their first houses."

Hearing this, Li Rui retreated to his seat and said, "I have no problem."

Lu Chen asked: "Do you have any other questions? Questions about moving to the city can also be raised now."

Seeing that no one spoke, Lu Chen said: "Since everyone has no problem, I will tell you about the arrangements for moving to the city."

After the words fell, the Jin Yiwei soldier beside Lu Chen walked to the middle of the hall with a pamphlet, and then began to read according to the contents of the pamphlet.

The booklet talks about the arrangements for moving to the city and how the new city should be managed.

An hour later, after discussing the matter of moving to the city, Lu Chen returned to the study.

Lu Chen sat on the stool in the study room, glanced at the entire study room, and couldn't help but feel a bit of reluctance in his heart.

This study carries so many good memories for him. In this study, he had an affair with Chu Yuqin, quarreled with Wang Qingci, made deals with Chu Qingli, and secretly did bad things with Lin Wanyun. He didn't expect that he would soon... Leave this place.

Just as Lu Chen was immersed in memories, a familiar voice came, "Your Majesty, this is the first time I have seen you dazed in the study."

Lu Chen came back to his senses, looked up at the study door, and saw Wang Qingci's enchanting S-shaped figure.

New coding equipment has been replaced, so the coding is slower. Forgive me
