Chapter 257 The Days I Want

In the evening of the sixth lunar month, Su Zicheng and his party quietly left Kaiping Mansion and did not live in the post hall. They walked 20 to 30 miles in the direction of Huaiyang and stayed in an inn in Linping Town for one night. The next day, before dawn, they set off for Huaiyang.

Li Xiaoyao changed to a wide and thick new car this time. Su Zicheng set out to see the ordnance. Li Xiaoyao yawned and moved into the car and continued to sleep. Unfortunately, the big car with wooden wheels was really bumpy, and the team was moving fast. Although seven or eight layers of thick mattresses were laid, Li Xiaoyao He was still rolled around and woke up after not sleeping much. Li Xiaoyao got up lazily and raised the curtain to look out. The tiger wing army had been guarded around. The sky above his head was blue and transparent, and there were almost no clouds. The sun had jumped out of the horizon. It seemed that the sun was shining again. Beiping in summer was still It's cool. I rushed all the way to Huaiyang, but it was all in the summer! On such a hot day, Huainan Road is not cool. It's going to fight a war and kill people. It's really sad. Li Xiaoyao looked at the black-winged sergeant who easily controlled the horse speed outside the car and was stunned for a while. He turned his head and looked at the green orange on duty in the car and ordered, "It's hot. Tell Begonia to cook some mung bean soup for us to eat. Well, tell Dayu to cook some mung bean soup for everyone so that they can go to the heat. Qingcheng answered crisply, lifted the curtain, untied the reins tied next to the car, stepped on the frame and jumped to the horse, and went back to send a message.

When it was dark, the convoy had already left the boundary of Kaipingfu. The tiger wing army was busy setting up the tent. Li Xiaoyao circled in the middle of the camp and moved his muscles and bones. Just after being placed, Su Zicheng rushed in with the small servants. Li Xiaoyao looked at it from afar, hesitated, took two steps back and turned around. I got into my tent.

In a moment, at the door of the tent, Nanning's voice sounded: "Is the girl there?" Li Xiaoyao called Nanning in. Nanning came in and smiled and said, "Girl, I asked you to come over and have dinner together. Before leaving in the morning, I ordered Dayu to stew the girl's favorite fish head soup in the evening. Li Xiaoyao frowned and smiled, "Begonia has cooked. If the prince has something to do, wait until I eat."

"Girl, you'd better go, or your temper will be poor." Nanning smiled and kept bowing. Li Xiaoyao stood and sighed, turned his head and looked at Qingcheng and ordered, "Go and tell Haitang that the food is ready and be delivered to the prince." Qingcheng agreed, and Li Xiaoyao followed Nanning out, took two steps, and entered Su Zicheng's tent.

Su Zicheng has changed his clothes and is holding two arrows. Seeing Li Xiaoyao coming in, he hurriedly motioned to her with a smile: "Come and have a look. This is a newly tried arrow." Li Xiaoyao took two arrows and looked at them. They were all heavy. I really didn't see any difference. Su Zicheng took one of them and pointed to the narrow arrows with faint light and smiled, "Look at this arrow, which is a little longer than that one. I have tried it. If you go out with one arrow, you can penetrate the leather armor within a hundred steps." Li Xiaoyao leaned over and pointed at the arrow and smiled, "It's long and narrow. It's easy to get in and pull out. Why don't you turn it upside down and make it?" Su Zicheng was stunned, raised his eyebrows and laughed out loud: "You really can't provoke! Shuiyan also said so, but he didn't have many ideas as you and didn't think of making inverted serrations. What you said is that it is more difficult to pull out. Su Zicheng said and raised his voice to call Dongping to come in and order him to go down. Li Xiaoyao raised his arrow and looked at it for a moment and sighed.

Chef Yu brought the dishes in, and Begonia also brought in several exquisite dishes with cherries. Su Zicheng and Li Xiaoyao cleaned their hands and sat on the bed. Su Zicheng looked carefully at several dishes sent by Begonia and smiled, "You are a good girl. This dish is made. Exquisite." Li Xiaoyao smiled and didn't say anything. The two ate in silence. Haitang took people to clean up and made tea again. Su Zicheng took two sips and looked at Li Xiaoyao with a smile and asked, "What did you do to relieve boredom on the way? Don't you feel tired? Go to the Green Grass Horse Farm with me tomorrow?

"It takes four or five days to go back and forth to the green grass horse farm. I can't stand it. There is nothing boring on the way. I'm reading the overseas travel notes borrowed from Uncle Lu, which are all written by their disciples of Shangqingmen. It's really interesting!" Li Xiaoyao replied with a smile. The smile on Su Zicheng's face stiffened, and the sunny day turned cloudy for a moment: "Nonsense, what do you want to do? The sea is changing rapidly, and blessings and misfortunes are fleeting. Don't always think about these useless things in the future. Li Xiaoyao tilted her head and nodded softly while smiling. Su Zicheng's anger was even more stuffy. She nodded without thinking like this and arguing. She must not have promised him, but did not intend to pay attention to it at all! Su Zicheng was bored for a long time and looked at Li Xiaoyao and asked, "Have you opened your weaving workshop and shop?"

"Well, a group of more than 40 weavers at the beginning of the weaving workshop have almost come to work. The shop is not in a hurry and is scheduled to open in early August. The weaving workshop does not dare to weave light summer materials this year. First, it is knitted from autumn and winter clothes, and it is just right to open in August." Li Xiaoyao answered Su Zicheng's words in detail. Su Zicheng frowned and then asked, "Your hook bar, and what else is that falling geese?"

"No, why do you want to send it? The hook column also opens in autumn, and now it is making people arrange miscellaneous dramas. Li Xiaoyao looked at Su Zicheng and said softly. Su Zicheng's face was more gloomy. He squeezed his mouth tightly and stared at Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyao looked at him and directly changed the topic: "Has the prince been to Yangzhou?" Su Zicheng shook his head angrily. Li Xiaoyao sighed heavily and sighed and sighed, "Yangzhou is really a good place. It is no worse than Taiping Mansion. If you manage it carefully and let go of Lugang in the future, Taiping Mansion will have to be better than two or three years. I just hope that the prince's trip will be smooth. Don't Beat Yangzhou to pieces. Su Zicheng was still full of anger and raised his eyebrows to speak. Li Xiaoyao continued: "In terms of financial resources, the difference between Beiping and Wu is too far. If Yangzhou can be managed well, the whole Huainan Road can become the treasury of Beiping. In three or five years, Beiping will no longer have such an overstreched embarrassing dilemma and money. Can you equip those 5,000 light or heavy cavalry?

"Reload!" Su Zicheng glanced at Li Xiaoyao and replied. Li Xiaoyao didn't seem to notice his anger at all. He just said his words with great interest: "Let me tell you, if we rely on farming alone, Huainan Road is not a rich place. It can't be compared with Huaiyang. Huainan Road is well connected by sea, waterway and land. We can't just It's a pity to take it as a way to conquer the country and Jing in the future. It's a pity to run it into a large chamber of commerce, with Yangzhou as the center, north to Chuzhou and Huaiyang, to the north, Taizhou and Runzhou to expand Lugang. If you want to go far, our navy will hardly have it. We should simply build a navy in Lugang and let them escort the caravan first. With the practice of combat power, when attacking Chu and Jing in the future, it is easy to attack Chu and Jing on both land and waterways. It's easy to say far. Let me tell you that the ban on Huainan Road must be loose, and the winemaking must be released, as well as silk weaving, tea and salt drying, all be released. Make appointments with merchants, the people abide by the law, the officials do not disturb the people, and local officials have no evidence. You can't harass merchants, it's just the same. You have to collect heavy taxes. The current commercial tax in Beiping is simply 15 to 20 on Huainan Road.

Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoyao, who became more and more excited. Seeing that she finally stopped, she took a cup and drank tea, and hurriedly cried and laughed: "When it comes to this commercial character, you...

"Uh-huh!" Li Xiaoyao held tea in his mouth and occupied his head repeatedly. He swallowed tea and smiled, "My favorite is to make money in business! In fact, I'm the best at doing business to make money, and the others are really not the main business!" Su Zicheng laughed and said, "It's not the main business yet! Wouldn't it be very angry if those officials heard what you said?

"Lin Xiang has to be angry! Never die again." Li Xiaoyao laughed and said, "What I'm telling is the truth. According to my opinion, the best day is to live in a prosperous world, do big business and make a lot of money, go to the summer, and go to the hot spring village to avoid the cold in winter. In spring and autumn, it is neither cold or hot, so I travel around the mountains and play in the water, talk to the mountain monks about running water and white clouds, and listen to those who are really full of learning. Talk about learning and morality, there is excitement, there is no excitement to enjoy flowers and grass, the girl wants to understand, food and clothing should be exquisite••••• If there is still more money, go to a college, give medicine to medicine, repair bridges and roads, alas! This is a fairy day. Su Zicheng's face suddenly turned black again. Li Xiaoyao turned his head and looked at him and asked seriously, "What about you? What's your fairy days like?

Su Zicheng was stunned for a moment and thought for a long time. He turned his head to look at Li Xiaoyao and said blankly, "When I was a child, my mother taught me to be a wise king to help my brother fight and rule the world. I didn't think about it."

"Then think about it now, just think about it! Put everything aside, such as king, prince, and your brother. Don't think about whether you can do it or not, just like a dream. If you want to live, what kind of life you want to live, and what kind of life do you want to do? Close your eyes and think about it!" Li Xiaoyao looked at Su Zicheng with bright eyes, and there was a thick ** in his voice. Su Zicheng closed his eyes hesitantly, opened them for a long time, and looked at Li Xiaoyao and asked, "Whatever you want?"

"Hmm! Of course! Just as you are a fairy, you can live whatever you want, even if you kick through this world and pinch out another one!" Li Xiaoyao hurriedly replied that Su Zicheng hesitated for a moment, nodded and closed his eyes again.
