It’s not that Xiangcheng doesn’t want to talk to Changle,
But she knew that her consort, father-in-law, and the entire Xiao family hated Su Chen deeply.
Xiangcheng thought for a long time and couldn't figure out why. It was clear that Su Chen and the Xiao family had no intersection at all.
She also asked her consort Xiao Rui, but Xiao Rui denied it with a smile.
But it's not like she didn't know that everyone in the Xiao family was secretly cursing Su Chen.
Based on this relationship, Xiangcheng also felt that it was better not to go to Sujiazhuang to avoid any misunderstandings.
Seeing Changle asking this question today, Xiangcheng had no choice but to lie: "It was too hot and muggy the past few days and I was too lazy to move!"
Changle said casually: "That's right, Xia Tian is too lazy to move."
"It's cool now. Sister, come to the village to talk to me when you have time."
Princess Xiangcheng smiled: "Let's wait until I come back from Guanzhou."
"Come back from Guanzhou?"
Changle was stunned: "Sister is going to Guanzhou?"
Xiangcheng said: "Yes! Today I came to say goodbye to my mother!"
"I heard that there are a lot of weird things happening there. Aren't many princes and grandsons going to Guanzhou in recent months?"
"I also want to take a train. I haven't experienced what it feels like to travel thousands of miles a day!"
Changle nodded: "Sister, you might as well go to Guanzhou to see it. The place does change every day."
The two of them chatted and laughed before arriving at the Li Zheng Hall.
Seeing Lotus Sun, who was holding her child, following her into the main hall, Princess Xiangcheng was stunned for a moment without saying anything.
Li Er and Empress Changsun were both at the Li Zheng Palace.
After everyone greeted them, Empress Changsun directly took the little girl in Lotus Sun's arms and teased her.
Xiangcheng really came to say goodbye to Li Er and Queen Changsun.
Li Er and Queen Changsun were very supportive of Xiangcheng going to Guanzhou.
Li Er smiled and said: "It sounds quite far. The train only takes a day. You can go back and forth to Xiangcheng at will from now on, so you don't have to say goodbye to us!"
"The previous rule of saying goodbye to parents before going on a long journey does not apply in Guanzhou."
Changle also said to Xiangcheng: "When my sister gets there, if you don't understand anything, go to the school and find a female teacher named Wu Mei."
"That girl seems to be quite famous in Guanzhou now."
Xiangcheng nodded, Wu Mei's reputation was not only very popular in Guanzhou, but also not weak in Chang'an.
Xiangcheng has also heard about this woman.
After all, because of Wu Mei, most of the students in the school were expelled by Su Chen.
Most of these expelled students are the sons and nephews of high-ranking officials, including princes!
After Princess Xiangcheng, Li Er and Queen Changsun finished talking about their plans to go to Guanzhou,
Seeing that Changle still had something to do, he took his leave and left.
After Xiangcheng left, Li Er glared at Changle: "Have you heard the rumors?
Why are you so restless!"
Changle said: "I didn't. Brother Su Chen must have sent someone back to deliver the good news!"
Queen Changsun smiled and said: "Okay, you two!"
"There should be nothing wrong. If anything happens, Fang Jun will use 800 miles to rush in Guanzhou!"
Chang Le said harshly: "I told you that Brother Su Chen sent someone to deliver the good news."
Then he said to Li Er: "Dad, does the court want to form a new navy?"
Li Er frowned: "The ministers are still negotiating, why are you asking about military and state affairs?"
Changle rolled his eyes at Li Er: "What military and national event?
Dad, if you want to build a new navy, how can you stay away from your daughter’s shipyard?"
"I asked in advance so that the shipyard can be prepared."
"Daughter, did you hear that the newly appointed shipbuilding ambassador of Dengzhou Shipyard was demoted by my father? Did the ship he built not suit my father's wishes?"
When Li Er heard Chang Le say this, his face immediately darkened:
There is no need to open any pot, this girl is not considerate after getting married!
Nowadays, those who can build large ocean-going ships are either Su Chen's shipyard or the shipyards of famous families.
The Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty ran out of the Pacific Ocean and came to the Indian Ocean.
The imperial government could not even build a decent ocean-going ship.
This made the emperor of the Tang Dynasty feel so shameless and insecure.
It’s not that Li Er was negligent,
In fact, when he first saw Su Chen's eight-thousand-stone ship, Li Er asked the general and Dengzhou Shipyard to start copying it.
As a result, both the supervisor and the shipyard were put off and put off.
Dengzhou Shipyard also took the opportunity to package the craftsmen they collected and sold them to the Zheng family in Xingyang!
After the Battle of Wuhu Sea, the large-scale shipbuilding operation of the family members was finally exposed.
Li Er almost went crazy with anger!
He directly fired the previous Dengzhou Shipbuilding Ambassador, and then ordered the Dengzhou Shipyard to build a warship that is not weaker than the navy's main gunboat within half a year.
Li Er even shamelessly asked Su Chen for the drawings.
As a result, the Dengzhou Shipyard was busy for half a year, spending countless money and supplies, and the ship it finally built failed to pass the sea trial.
The newly built warship conducted several rounds of naval gun test firings on its trial voyage from Dengzhou to Yangzhou.
Then suddenly it was discovered that the fleet had water seepage and almost sank directly on the East China Sea!
If it hadn't been for the intercession of the ministers, the newly appointed Dengzhou Shipbuilding Ambassador would have been directly killed by Li Er again.
In fact, it’s really no wonder that Dengzhou Shipbuilding Ambassador is here.
Before Su Chen's intrusion, the Xiao family of Lanling and the Zheng family of Xingyang had the highest level of shipbuilding in the Tang Dynasty.
Most of the outstanding craftsmen are in the hands of two families, and there are not many craftsmen in the hands of the government.
Moreover, after Yang Guang's dragon boat incident, the court and the people were strongly opposed to the construction of giant ships.
When Su Chen Yangzhou Shipyard was established, it used high prices to recruit almost all the outstanding craftsmen from the private sector.
Later, various aristocratic families also secretly searched for them.
By the time the court reacted, the craftsmen in society had long since disappeared.
The group of craftsmen controlled by the government were poached by the Zheng family in Xingyang!
Not only did he not have useful craftsmen at his disposal, Li Er was still impatient and wanted to build a warship that was better than the main gunboats of the Royal Navy.
It’s surprising that Dengzhou Shipyard can complete its mission!
This is one of the reasons why Li Er's plan to form a new navy was shelved.
Without ships, there is no way to build a navy!
Another reason is that civil servants risk their lives to remonstrate and cannot resort to force.
In addition, the head of the Guanlong army was secretly causing trouble, and they did not want the navy to steal their cake.
Li Er looked at the proud Chang Le and felt aggrieved:
Girls are outgoing, the ancients would never deceive me!
Li Er, Fang Mou Du Duan, Wei Zheng, and Chang Sun Wuji all supported the decision to form another navy, and even Wen Yanbo did not explicitly oppose it.
As for other people's objections, Li Er doesn't take it to heart.
The establishment of a new navy is certain, and opposition from others can only delay it for a while.
The remnants of the aristocratic family also understood this in their hearts, and instigating civil servants to oppose it was just to hinder Li Er.
Unfortunately, this plan was disrupted by a pirate named Yang Fuli!
Therefore, Xiao Yu was so talented that he must get rid of this Yang Fuli.
