Ask Sword

Not good, not good at all.

Yongjiafang, Prince Zhao's Mansion, courtyard.

Li Nanlei, the owner of Anle County, stared at the newspaper articles about the water poisoning condition in Suzhou on the table, almost gnashing her teeth.

"Brother Shan, I'm going to be sent to Suzhou."

Li Nanlei took a breath and said slowly, "As the King of Light."

She paused, then slammed the table and threw the newspaper flying, "Ridiculous! Selfish!

Where was Brother Shan when he was neglected and humiliated by other princes and grandsons?

Where was he when he was deliberately neglected by the servants of Bailiao?

Brother Shan is indeed the King of Light, but when did he get the money from the food seal? Always procrastinating.

The so-called Prince's Mansion couldn't even get the basic staff together. The positions of Changshi, Sima, and military officer were all vacant. Those officials who were invited all said that they were sick and couldn't come, for fear of getting involved.

At this time, where is he? "

The female officer behind the Princess, silently listening to Li Nanlei's angrily muttering to herself, said quietly: "The Princess is careful."

The "he" in these words is none other than Emperor Yu Li Shun.

According to the law of Yu, after the prince opened the mansion, he had to leave the palace to establish his own prince's mansion, with subordinate bureaucrats and retainers.

These bureaucrats will assist the prince and assist him in handling affairs.

If the prince is sent to a place to serve as the prefect, then his assistant bureaucrats can also enter the official career and get promoted, which is equivalent to a shortcut.

Although Li Shan is still studying in the academy, he is old enough to prepare for the opening of the mansion.

However, he had no food and money, and secondly, he was not favored by Emperor Yu, so that the opening of the house was restricted everywhere, and not many people turned to him.

Under such circumstances, Emperor Yu had to personally send his son to the front line of the epidemic area for the sake of the image of the royal family surnamed Li who loves the people like a son, and let him perform the damn prince's duties.

Is it fair?

reasonable?

Do you want face?

If water poisoning occurs, it is the fiefdom of the Yue king Li Hui,

Li Nanlei never believed that Emperor Yu would order Li Hui to go to the epidemic area to perform his duties. He would only let his precious son stay in Chang'an and protect him.

So eccentric, so favoritism, really

In vain to be a father.

Li Nanlei's chest heaved violently, and it took a long time to calm down.

Seeing that her mood was stable, the female officer finally reminded softly: "Princess, this time may be an opportunity."

"Chance?"

Li Nanlei frowned slightly, and she reacted instantly.

Indeed, Li Shan was restricted everywhere in Chang'an because of his mother's identity, but in Luoyang and other places, there are still veterans who still miss the era of the Holy Queen.

Decades have passed, those factions of old ministers who were suppressed for supporting the Holy Queen are still a big force.

They were unable to reverse the court, but they were able to give Li Shan secret support outside Chang'an.

Secondly, Li Shan's fief was originally in Suzhou, and after he opened the mansion, he would also go there to serve as the prefect.

Instead of taking office in a few years, it is better to take advantage of the present to find talents locally, cultivate cronies, and accumulate popularity through the treatment of water poisoning-the image of the Holy Queen is still deep among the people of the country of Yu.

"Take a step back, let's see the sea and the sky."

Li Nanlei nodded thoughtfully, "The one who went to Suzhou this time is also Li Ang. With his ability, even if he can't solve it, it shouldn't make the scene too ugly.

So what we have to do now is to protect Brother Shan's safety."

water poison ruthless,

What's more, whenever there are natural disasters and man-made disasters, there will always be people of unknown origin from the magic sect jumping out to confuse the people and even assassinate the local governor.

Li Nanlei would not entrust Li Shan's life entirely to the soldiers of the Prince's Mansion or the people in the Zhenfu Department.

"It's best to send our own people to secretly protect Brother Shan."

Li Nanlei frowned and thought, and said slowly: "This candidate must be concealed enough to not attract the attention of the Zhenfu Department.

And be loyal enough, strong enough, believable enough.

Is Lu Yunan still in Chang'an? "

The female officer was a little surprised when she heard the name, but she still nodded, "It should still be in Chang'an East City."

"Let her come to see me."

————

Lu Yunan is a businessman.

To be precise, it was a businessman from the Black Mountains in the north.

The population of Yu State is so large that the vast territory can't satisfy the appetite. As long as there is an opportunity, it is difficult to restrain the desire to conquer.

However, the northern border has always been the invisible frontier of Yu State.

The winter there is so cold that the steel will crack and the horses will freeze to death.

Only the hardiest trees, the most cunning beasts, and the strongest savages survive.

The howling north wind mixed with ice skates and the dense and towering primeval forest limit the pace of Yu State's northward development.

It also gave those merchants who were most willing to take risks a way of making money that belonged exclusively to them.

Slap.

In a luxurious mansion in East City, a young girl elegantly placed a ceramic teacup on the table.

She stretched lazily, revealing her beautiful waistline,

Lying on a reclining chair, while reading newspaper articles,

One side of the leg is slightly tilted, so that the maid can knead the soles of the feet more conveniently.

She has the typical appearance of the Montenegrin barbarians, with long white hair braided into a slightly fancy long braid, hanging down on her chest,

The blue eyes are as clear as a lake.

Four years ago, she led a caravan across the long and dangerous northern mountainous area, and opened up a trade route to Chang'an.

Her caravan brought precious and expensive furs, pearls and gems to Chang'an.

In particular, a strong, thick and water-resistant northern black wood, capable of being made into bottles to preserve hot water for a long time.

Well-to-do families in Chang'an are willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy it back to improve their lives.

The benefits in this are too rich, rich enough to make some people stunned and try to control these barbarians.

Fortunately, Lu Yunan chose to cooperate with Prince Zhao's Mansion and became the agent of the Prince's Mansion.

This allows her to bypass some restrictions of the law,

Salt, sugar, rice, tea and even iron and steel, forging furnaces and other materials were brought back to the hometown, so that the people in the hometown can live, not just survive.

"Xiao Jiu, do you know what is the most important alienated object for a huge country like Yu State?"

Lu Yunan, who was flipping through the newspapers, suddenly thought of something and asked with a smile.

The maid named Xiao Jiu tilted her head, stopped pinching her feet, and gestured.

"No, it's not the powerful weapons in Zhenfusi's hands. Guess again."

The maid made sign language again, Lu Yunan still shook her head, and lazily said: "It's wrong, it's not the unspeakable and unknowable secrets in the Dongjun Building of the Academy, or even the ultimate weapon deep in the palace to protect the royal blood.

But a bug.

Close-ranging insects.

It was a first-class monster that looked like a large grasshopper.

Its only ability is to communicate with the same kind thousands of miles away to achieve long-distance communication.

It is precisely because of the close worm that it is possible to manage such a huge empire. Only the Chang'an imperial court can understand the real-time situation of the distant state capital, quickly issue important government orders, and control the army in the border town.

Because it is so important, each close-breathing insect is under the strict control of the imperial court, and only the academy and the royal family are enshrined, and they know how to breed and reproduce them.

The rare chinchillas will be handed over to the officials who are trusted by the imperial court.

And any act of breeding, raising, or mastering the close insects without permission will be regarded as the most serious crime of treason, and the crime of complicity in rebellion. "

Lu Yunan paused and murmured: "It is because of this kind of bug that the situation in Suzhou can be reported to Chang'an in the first time, and the newspapers in Chang'an can publish articles in the first time.

If we could have ten, no, six or less,

They are all able to contact and control the compatriots in the depths of Montenegro, and all of them unite to resist the Turks’ annual sweeping and looting.”

Sweeping autumn.

The territory at the eastern end of the Turks, like the tip of an arrow cluster, pierced into the Montenegro.

Every autumn, the cavalry of the Turkic tribes will enter Montenegro and demand hundreds of tribes in Montenegro to hand over food, livestock, and supplies.

As for whether this kind of activity will cause the Montenegrin people to starve to death or freeze to death, the Turkic people don't care at all-the Montenegrin barbarians are like leeks, every time a batch is cut off, it will grow out in the coming year.

Boom boom boom.

There was a regular knock on the door outside the house, and a barbarian guard walked in and whispered something in Lu Yunan's ear.

"I see. Tell the lady officer to wait in the courtyard for a while, and I'll be right there."

The barbarian merchant girl retreated from the guards, got up and walked to the dressing table, and took out several bottles and cans from the cabinet.

A bottle contains clear gel-like flakes that, when applied to the eyes, cover the natural color of the pupils.

The other bottle was filled with viscous black liquid. She dug a little with her hands and applied it on her hair, which quickly dyed the white hair black.

Combined with other makeup powders and tools, she soon became no different from Yu Guoren—even her originally stunning appearance became ordinary under the effect of makeup.

She looked at herself in the mirror, nodded with satisfaction, and stepped out of the room.

A gust of cool wind blew up a corner of the newspaper on the table and turned the newspaper to the last page.

The human-powered plane of Xuegong has successfully flown over the Bohai Strait in Daodengzhou Port, Henan Province.

Its inventor, Li Ang, named the aircraft Feixiang Henan.
