Chapter 714 The twelfth lunar month 2

Wu Huan was only surprised and unable to answer.

He was surprised that his sister-in-law, who had lived in Tianshan for a long time, went down the mountain to Ningguo, and he was also surprised that Old Master Qiuchenqiu left Bailu Academy and went to Ningguo.

They have all heard about my sister-in-law's story, and the two of them are now going to Ningguo together...

Could it be that you are still trying to elope at this age?

These just flashed through Wu Huan's mind, because these things were not too important to him.

Now that he has accomplished something important, he is ready to leave.

"After all, my sister-in-law has stayed in Tianshan for more than twenty years. Now that she is old, she handed over Tianyin Pavilion to Miss Xia Hua... I think she hopes to be able to die in a relaxed state before walking around."

"There is Songshan Sword Academy and Mushan Sword in Ningguo. I recently heard about a very famous Peach Blossom Island. I think I am going to Ningguo just to see old friends from the past and take a look at Peach Blossom Island."

He didn't mention Qiuchen.

Because his father didn't like this name very much.

Prince Wu Qian nodded thoughtfully. He had left this matter to the Chief of Staff to find out. At this moment, he was just talking casually.

Wu Huan picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and suddenly asked: "By the way, Your Highness, I have also heard some businessmen in Kyoto these days... quite a few complaints."

Wu Qian frowned slightly: "What are they complaining about? There has been no tax increase in these years!"

"It's not a matter of taxes," Wu Huan put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "It is said that Wuya Pass is now in the hands of our Wu State. If the imperial court allows Wuya Pass to be opened, let them trade with Ning State... Just like

It would have been better the way it was before.”

Wu Qian pondered for a few breaths and shook his head with a look of disdain: "These businessmen are greedy!"

"Everyone is making a lot of money without doing production, and they are well fed and clothed. However, the business of Wu State cannot satisfy their appetite, and they even want to trade with Ning State...!"

"I have always looked down upon these businessmen!"

"My whole body is full of the smell of copper!"

"There is no family or country in my eyes, only interests!"

"A bunch of poorly-raised dogs!"

"After I ascend the throne as emperor... I will take good care of them!"

Wu Huan was shocked, but a hint of joy appeared on his fat face.

He slapped his plump palms: "What your Highness said is absolutely true!"

"I believe that after Your Highness ascends the throne, in the name of the great justice of the country, the properties of those wealthy gentry should be returned to the imperial court!"

"I have always felt that these businessmen have made no contribution to the country. They bully the people through exploitation and make huge profits by buying low and selling high."

"I'm afraid your Highness doesn't know something, and it's hard for me to talk to you about some things."

"Let's just talk about the big landowners in various places. They robbed a large amount of land from the people. In turn, they asked the people to farm for them, but they only gave them the rations that they could barely survive!"

"Your Highness, you don't know that the lives of those so-called tenant farmers are really worse than pigs and dogs!"

"But those landowners, all with fat heads and big ears, wore silk and satin and sang and sang every night, tut tut tut... Those days were so happy!"

"What's this?"

"The land for the common people was originally given by the imperial court. It is a huge favor from the emperor!"

"My father regards the common people as his subjects, but those landlords and wealthy people regard the common people as cattle and horses..."

"I should say something that I shouldn't say. Your Highness can send the Imperial Council to inspect the whole country, not only to inspect the landowners and wealthy people, but also to inspect the wealthy gentry and wealthy people... I can guarantee that not one of them still has a conscience!"

"I believe that after Your Highness ascends the throne, these landlords and businessmen should be deprived of the right to wear silk and satin!"

"The descendants of businessmen should be deprived of the qualification to study!"

"They are all the meanest bitches!"

"The worm of the country!"

"If we kill them...or raid their homes, His Highness will be shocked by the large amount of property they possess!"

"Every piece of silver they have is covered with the sweat and blood of the people and a lot of dirty things!"

"Every time I hear this, I feel chilled. When I came to Kyoto, I wanted to tell His Highness these things so that He could bring justice to the people of the world!"

Wu Qian was shocked when he heard this.

"Is it that serious?"

Wu Huan bowed his hands and said, "What I said is not in line with the reality... Your Highness can ask the Chamber of Commerce to check the Yan valve, Qi valve, and Che valve in Kyoto..."

Wu Huan suddenly paused, then shook his head like a rattle, "Let's forget it. These powerful families are intertwined with the officials in the court, and I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble for His Highness."

Wu Qian did not comment. He took a sip from the tea cup and asked:

"Brother Second Emperor, since businessmen are so detestable, why do you think Li Chenan insists on implementing the national policy of promoting industry and commerce in Ningguo?"

Wu Huan sighed, "To be honest with Your Highness, I admire Li Chenan very much, but what I admire is his poetry and articles!"

"Therefore, I built the Immortal Tower to store his poems."

"As for the so-called national policy he formulated...he is the uncle of the Zhongli Mansion. The Zhongli Mansion is a powerful family in the Ning Kingdom and runs many businesses. If Li Chenan wants to suppress business, wouldn't this be a blow to the Zhongli Mansion?"

"What's more, he himself has Hua Pingchun, a cash cow, and he won't give himself a knife!"

"This is the benefit."

"He is not the Emperor of Ning Guo. What happened to him in the end was not painful to Ning Guo. Anyway, he can earn a lot of money and live the best life... How can he care about the life and death of the people!"

"But Wu is different!"

"The country of Wu belongs to His Highness!"

"If the state of Wu is eaten away by those moths and is on the verge of decline... it is His Highness's own family property that will be destroyed!"

"What a pity, Li Chenan went to Wangqingtai."

"He will definitely die in Wangqingtai. Without his poems in the Immortal Exile Tower, Ningguo will probably decline more slowly without him..."

Wu Qian raised his eyebrows, "I also feel that it is a pity that he died at Wangqingtai. As for these things in Wu State, I certainly know what happened, but it is not yet time to deal with those businessmen."

"Ning Guo... Sooner or later, he will be the meat in my mouth!"

"I gained a lot from chatting with the Second Emperor Brother today. From now on, the Second Emperor Brother can often come to the East Palace to sit and sit."

"The most important thing next is to hold the father's sixtieth birthday banquet... Although the father is not a big party, as a son, it is still necessary to have such fun. I am going to pay my respects to my father, so I will not leave the second emperor behind.

Brother."

Wu Huan stood up and bowed: "I have said too much. Please don't take it to heart, Your Highness."

Wu Qian waved his hand: "I have my own sense of propriety. Remember to bring Huo Yizhen to show me tomorrow."

"My lord, respect your order!"

Wu Huan bowed and retreated. Wu Qian poured himself a cup of tea, thought about it, turned around and said:

"Xiao Guizi,"

"The slave is here!"

"You go to the engine room, please don't forget to come over!"

"Slave, go right away."

Xiao Guizi also bowed and retreated. Wu Qian took a sip of tea and his eyes fell on Gong E beside him.

The palace lady was sixteen or seventeen years old. She slightly raised her head and waited there motionless.

Wu Qian stood up, walked to the palace lady, stretched out a hand and lifted the palace lady's chin.

He smiled evilly, "Yan'er, I like you, especially the way you refuse and refuse!"

"My father is going to give me a crown princess, Gou Zhong's daughter Gou Yunniang..."

He let go of his hand and touched Yan'er's beautiful face, "Please wait a little longer. After I ascend the throne... I will make you a talented person!"

"You go to Tangli Palace later and tell Concubine Shu that I am waiting for her at the old place."

Yan'er said a long blessing and said shyly: "I'll go right now, slave!"

She also stepped down and left the study.

Wu Qian didn't see the cold light flashing in her eyes!

Her name is indeed Yan'er.

She is Shen Qiaodie's maid!

She originally went to the Yue Kingdom with Shen Qiaodie, but this summer, she came to the Wu Kingdom alone.

She has a new identity——

The secret envoy of the Third Chamber of the Privy Council of the State of Yue!

With the help of someone from the Privy Council of the State of Wu, she successfully entered the East Palace and became the personal maid of Prince Wu Qian.
