"Don't worry, my dear, I'll just ask you casually."
"It's Wei Chen who was reckless."
After receiving Li Shimin's reply, Fang Xuanling breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, Sir Fang, I think it is not impossible to attack Goryeo."
After Muchuan's words, Li Shimin immediately raised his head and looked at Muchuan, and Fang Xuanling stared at him intently.
"As long as the cotton and potatoes mentioned by Weichen can be planted on a large scale as soon as possible, the problem of food and clothing for the people can be ensured, and of course it can also ensure the food and clothing of the army.
What I gave to Your Majesty before was only some seeds, but Wei Chen opened up the trade route before returning to Chang'an and was able to buy more seeds."
Muchuan faced Fang Xuanling's gaze and said calmly.
"Master Mu has never mentioned it before. Is there no problem with this trade route?"
Fang Xuanling couldn't believe it. After all, Master Mu didn't mention trade routes when he came back from Chang'an. Why did trade routes suddenly appear now?
Could it be that you said this deliberately to please His Majesty?
We can’t let Master Mu do such a thing! War is a waste of people and money!
Facing Fang Xuanling's inquiry, Muchuan was not anxious at all.
"Master Fang, it's like this. I recently learned about a private trade route from India and Pakistan to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. This trade route can transport wood, and it should be easy to transport other things."
"In addition, of the two foreign languages I am currently learning, one happens to be rich in cotton and the other is rich in potatoes. The trade route I opened before can be officially opened with these dozens of translators."
Muchuan said confidently.
Fang Xuanling nodded, changing her previous worries and looking at Muchuan with a very satisfied expression.
When Li Shimin saw that Fang Xuanling did not object, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
Gong Shangshu secretly clenched his fists, and when the army had no worries about food and clothing, his repeating crossbows would have to keep up.
Therefore, in this six months to one year, he must speed up the progress!
Li Shimin didn't know that his casual question would lead to a qualitative leap in food, clothing and the treasury.
After the court, the eunuch beside Li Shimin caught up with Muchuan.
"Master Mu, wait a moment.
Our family has something to tell you."
The eunuch really didn't expect that Master Mu, who was not very strong, could actually have very fast legs.
"Master Mu, Your Majesty asked our family to inform the two princesses that the princess's mansion is about to be completed, and the princesses should prepare."
The eunuch bowed and said.
Master Mu, who was originally in a clear mood, could not help but feel a little uncomfortable at this moment.
But he himself also knew that Li Shimin had already done his duty as a monarch by allowing someone to tell him in advance.
"Thank you, father-in-law, for reminding me. I will let them prepare in the next few days."
Muchuan said, casually taking out a banknote and stuffing it into the eunuch's hand without looking at the amount.
"How can you be so embarrassed? Master Mu is so out of touch."
The eunuch was so frightened that he quickly wanted to return the banknote.
"Father-in-law, please keep it. There will be some trouble for father-in-law in the future."
Muchuan held his hand and patted it gently.
"Okay, let's go back and serve the emperor first.
See you later, Master Mu."
The eunuch accepted the silver note with satisfaction. He just took a special look at it and saw that it said one hundred taels of silver.
He heard people say that Mr. Mu is rich, but he still didn't believe it. It seemed that it was true.
This is not unusual. Master Mu has so many weird things in his hands. If he sells any one of them, it would be worth several thousand gold. It is quite normal to be rich.
Muchuan returned to the carriage, and the coachman said as usual:
"Sir, do you want to go back home directly?"
Normally Muchuan would just nod and answer, but at this moment, he was not in much mood.
"Let's go to the princess mansion and have a look."
Muchuan ordered.
Seeing that he didn't look very good, the driver didn't ask any questions and just started the car.
After all, it was a mansion built for a princess from a foreign country, so it couldn't be too far away from the palace, so the car didn't take long to arrive.
There are no vacant lots near the palace, nor are there any houses that are old enough to be demolished.
Therefore, the Princess Mansion was actually built on the basis of a high-ranking official's mansion in the previous dynasty. In order to comply with the princess's regulations, many places needed to be rebuilt.
Of course, because of Master Mu’s relationship, the house was built relatively slowly.
It was just that no matter how slow it was, it couldn't be too slow to make people suspicious, so the house was completed in a few months.
Muchuan walked into the princess's mansion and took a general look. It was not bad. Mingzhu liked it, Sophia liked it, and it was somewhat involved.
After the two of them moved in, he spent money to buy some flowers and plants, build a pond, rockery and so on.
The princess's mansion is not small, and Muchuan cannot stay for a long time due to his status. After seeing the general appearance of the princess's mansion, he is quite satisfied, and Muchuan has no regrets.
Back at Shangshu Mansion, Muchuan did not hide anything and told the two princesses about the completion of the Princess Mansion.
"Okay, let's pack our things in the next few days."
Sophia said calmly, but her hands were still shaking slightly.
Mingzhu was much more fragile than Sophia. She could no longer control her face and turned pale, biting her lower lip to prevent herself from losing her composure.
Seeing the two of them like this, Muchuan was speechless at the words in his heart.
"Has His Majesty said when he will officially move in?"
Sophia asked.
Generally speaking, for the two princesses to officially move into the princess mansion, they must choose a date in the palace and perform a sacrifice.
"It should be announced in the next few days. Your Majesty specially asked someone to notify you in advance today."
Muchuan was afraid that the two princesses would have complaints against His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, so he immediately said.
"Brother Mu, don't worry, we understand."
Sophia said, and Mingzhu nodded, signaling Muchuan not to worry.
"Okay, it's good that you know.
These days, play more with Xin'er.
If you need money, just ask the housekeeper."
Muchuan explained.
"Thank you, Brother Mu."
Sophia smiled slightly.
Muchuan said "hmm" and didn't look at her again.
After talking to Sophia and the others, Muchuan felt very sad for a moment. Although he had known that they were going to separate and was mentally prepared for it, the closer the day of separation came, the more uncomfortable he felt.
But the huge difference in status meant that they couldn't get along like normal friends.
While Muchuan was thinking wildly, Fang Chengcheng started screaming outside.
"Come in!"
Muchuan shouted outside, Fang Cheng's voice suddenly stopped, and then he heard the door open.
"I thought you wouldn't come today."
Muchuan asked angrily.
"My sister is here, and I am here."
Fang Cheng answered so confidently that Muchuan was embarrassed to accuse him of eating and drinking.
"What just happened?
I heard you shouting back and forth."
Muchuan asked, lying on the couch with his eyes closed.
"Mu Chuan, let me tell you, my sister is still young, you are not allowed to think about it!"
Fang Cheng suddenly became serious and even used Muchuan's name.
Muchuan couldn't rest immediately. He sat up and asked Fang Cheng.
"Who said anything?"
Muchuan asked coldly.
Fang Cheng was startled by his sudden coldness, but when it came to his sister, he couldn't be timid at all.
"Someone said you ran into my sister's yard in the middle of the night!"
