Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 642 Unhappy

Wu Yangyang, they all looked forward to and longing, Su Cheng suddenly realized a problem, because Liu Xiaochuan and the others returned with glory, maybe everyone only saw the glorious side, but didn't know the dangerous side.

And this must be made clear to everyone!

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Liu Xiaochuan and the others brought back dozens of carriages and spices. They made a lot of contributions and won a lot of rewards. Are you all envious?"

Everyone laughed in embarrassment after hearing this, how could they not be envious?

Su Cheng put away his smile and said sternly: "Liu Xiaochuan must be bragging a lot, but I have to tell you that going to sea is a dangerous thing!"

"Walking may fall, riding a horse may fall off the horse, not to mention going out to sea? There are many winds and waves on the sea, and there are hidden reefs. It is very dangerous. Going to sea is by no means an easy task! Don't think that going to sea is going on vacation, and then You can come back with a big boat of wealth!"

In fact, everyone knows that going to sea is risky. Liu Xiaochuan and the others often brag in Zhuangzi, not only bragging about the spice island they saw, but also bragging about how they fought the wind and waves and how they killed big fish. Light.

Although people can tell that Liu Xiaochuan and the others are bragging, everyone also understands that going to sea is indeed risky!

So after listening to Su Cheng's solemn explanation, most people's expressions remained unchanged.

They felt that the father-in-law was right. You could fall down when you were walking, you could fall to your death while riding a horse, and you could be kicked to death by a donkey while plowing the field.

Isn't it dangerous to fight?Isn't there so many people who want to keep their wives and children?

If Liu Xiaochuan and the others failed to come back, no one would dare to go to sea again, but Liu Xiaochuan and the others all came back with a lot of hairs. Everyone felt that since Liu Xiaochuan and the others could do it, why couldn't they?

"Grandpa, we are not afraid of danger!"

"Yes, my lord, we are not afraid of danger!"

"Grandpa, please, let us go to sea too!"

……

Everyone is still so enthusiastic!Su Cheng raised his voice and said: "Okay, those who want to go to sea can ask the housekeeper to sign up. This time, only 100 people will be selected for the sea trip. Those with only children are not allowed to go to sea, and those under the age of 20 are not allowed to go to sea. Those who are physically fit and able to swim are given priority!"

As soon as Su Cheng's words fell, the whole long street became noisy, some were happy and some were worried.

"I can sign up now, I'm not the only child, I'm physically fit, and I can swim, hahaha!"

"Why can't the only son go to sea?"

"I'll be twenty in two months, can't I sign up?"

……

The old housekeeper came out with the steward, and said loudly: "Everyone, don't worry, you can sign up if you meet the conditions. Of course, today is just a sign-up, and it is not certain whether you can be selected..."

Su Cheng and Princess Changle had walked into the mansion together, Princess Changle smiled and said, "No wonder it's so lively outside, it's because everyone wants to go to sea so much!"

"That's right, those dozens of carts of spices have pushed going to sea to the forefront. It's not just them who want to go to sea, who among those famous families doesn't want to send people to go to sea?" Su Cheng said leisurely.

"Seeing that the great families of the Tang Dynasty are organizing their people to go to sea, the imperial court is imminent in preparing for the establishment of a shipping department, so His Majesty wants me to go south for a survey."

Su Cheng clearly felt Princess Changle's little hand clenched tightly.

"Imperial Father wants Lang Jun to go south?" Princess Changle bit her lips with a nervous expression.

Of course, this kind of matter should be pushed to Li Shimin without hesitation. Anyway, Li Shimin really wanted him to concentrate on investigating and preparing for the establishment of the Shibo Department.

Su Cheng nodded and said: "Well, I'm still very familiar with the south side, and I know where it is suitable to be a sea port, and I also want to meet Geng Guogong."

Princess Changle held Su Cheng's hand tightly, and she didn't speak for a long time. She felt very reluctant, and at the same time blamed her father very much.

Su Cheng pulled out his hand, held her in his arms, and said with a smile: "I'm going south, not north, so you don't have to worry, I will return to Chang'an soon, at most half a year."

In fact, Princess Changle also understands what Su Cheng said. When her father was going to conquer Gaochang country last fall, she thought it was for Su Cheng to lead the expedition, but she still remembers the feeling of extreme nervousness and worry.

But now, knowing that Su Cheng was going south, she felt more reluctance than nervousness.

The south is prosperous and stable, and there is no need to fight, so naturally she doesn't have to worry about danger. She just panics when she thinks that she will not see Su Cheng for a long time.

It's not worry, but miss!

Going all the way back to the upper room, Princess Changle was holding flowers but looked disconsolate.

"What's wrong with the princess?" Cui Mo asked suspiciously.

Yingluo pouted and said, "Your Majesty is going to send the father-in-law to the south, saying that he is planning to build a city shipping department."

Cui Mo was surprised when he heard this, "There are so many officials in the court, why did you let the father-in-law go south?"

Wu Jue's thoughts changed, and he said with a smile: "Yes, princess, my father-in-law has to train soldiers and develop firearms. White folded flowers are also a big deal. My father-in-law is busy with everything in Chang'an, how can he leave Chang'an and go south so easily?"

In fact, Princess Changle also understands what Cui Mo and Wu Jue mean, and she just wants her to enter the palace to intercede with the queen mother or the emperor father.

When she heard Su Cheng say that she was going south, she did have an urge to go to the palace immediately to find the queen mother or the emperor father, but now she calmed down instead.

If she really went to the palace, maybe she could ask her father not to let Lang Jun go south, but is it right?

In all fairness, Mr. Lang is indeed the most suitable candidate for going south to open the sea, because Mr. Lang is most familiar with going to sea, and as an important minister in the court, Mr. Lang must of course share his worries.

So she can't enter the palace to beg her father and queen mother not to let him go south. If that is the case, she is too selfish, what will others think of him?

Princess Changle shook her head and said, "Your Excellency is the most familiar with Kaihai, so it's a good idea for you to go south. In fact, think about it, it's better to let you go south to preside over Kaihai, at least the south is rich and prosperous." Be safe, don't worry about danger!"

Wu Jue, Cui Mo and the others couldn't help nodding when they heard this. It seemed that this was indeed the case. Last autumn, when the emperor decided to launch a military campaign against Gaochang, they were extremely worried, for fear that the father-in-law would be appointed by the emperor to go out.

Compared to leading an expedition, going south to preside over Kaihai is like going out for fun. Although you will miss it very much, you don't have to worry about it.The feeling of fear is the most tormenting.

Wu Jue smiled and said: "What the princess said is that when we read poems and articles, we all say that Jiangnan is unique and fascinating. Even we yearn for it after reading it. Your grandfather's going south is considered a good thing!"
