Chapter 156 Let me take a trip to the Western Regions
Shen Ru didn't know how Xiao Wujin pushed her stone candle and oil lamp to Yan Shaoqing.

On this day, Lu Yi took him to the Governor's Mansion again. In the meeting hall, Yan Shaoqing was also there.

"Shen Ru, how extravagant your life is in the capital!"

As soon as they met, Yan Shaoqing said with emotion, "I have worked so hard on oil lamps and candles, and I doubt whether you could use night pearls to illuminate before."

"There are no night pearls, and candles are quite expensive, so I came up with this!"

Shen Ru said calmly: "Look at the oil lamp. There is water below and oil above. It can illuminate and save fuel. Is it considered a useful travel tool?"

"And this stone candle, doesn't it last much longer than ordinary candles?"

"Xiao Wujin said this is fish oil from extremely cold places, but I don't believe it. Are you two hiding something from me?"

Yan Shaoqing said directly, a pair of fox eyes rolling around Xiao Wujin and Shen Ru.

"In business, Yan Shaoqing, have you ever seen anyone reveal his secret recipe?"

Shen Ru asked back, "Whether it's an oil lamp or a stone candle, only I have the raw materials on hand, and Master Xiao doesn't either. All you need to say is whether this thing can be sold?"

"Like your Yan family, the richest man in Liangzhou, maybe you don't need these, right? Are they all night-light pearls for lighting?"

This was what Yan Shaoqing was teasing Shen Ru about just now, but now Shen Ru was teasing him back.

"I can sell it, but how much do you have?"

Yan Shaoqing asked again, "For this kind of thing, we must first build momentum. Since only you have the raw materials, I will listen to Xiao Wujin's talk about fish oil from extremely cold places. No matter how much goods you have on hand, you must always come up with it Something to show people.”

Shen Ru said a few words, but Xiao Wujin looked at Shen Ru with deep meaning.

"Shen Ru, this thing of yours is flammable. If it is used to make rockets, wouldn't it be better than tung oil?"

Shen Ru was stunned for a moment and then guessed something.

"Is the Western Region going to invade Liangzhou?"

"Zhao Gongming hasn't gone to your house to find someone to reminisce about the past. There are many foreign cavalry outside Yumen Pass. He has been training his troops rigorously recently."

Shen Ru's heart sank. Is there really going to be a war at the border?

"I also happened to receive a letter from Beijing. The imperial court had no time to pay attention to the Liangzhou border. The southwest rebels captured three cities in one month, which shocked the government and the public."

Xiao Wujin continued: "How great would it be if your things could be used in fighting?"

"It's a fight!" Yan Shaoqing said quietly: "Shen Ru, you can prepare as much as you can. Taking advantage of the turmoil in the southwest, you can find wealth and wealth in danger!"

Shen Ru nodded, looked at Xiao Wujin, and said quietly: "Master Xiao, if that day comes and you think of something, I can help. However, the flames will take away the vitality of the grassland. You don't really want Liangzhou." Can the herdsmen of our country have lush pastures?”

"But once the cavalry from the Western Regions breaks through Yumen Pass, how will the people of Liangzhou survive?"

Xiao Wujin said solemnly, he also just knew that foreign cavalry appeared frequently outside the pass.

"Without absolute certainty, foreigners will not invade the border."

The one who spoke was Yan Shaoqing. He had never been worried about fighting before because he had an informant in the Western Region.

"Xiao Wujin, some things may not be true. Don't you believe me?"

The foundation of the Yan family for generations has traces left by the Yan family in the Western Region. He doesn't know if there will be a war?

Shen Ru listened to Yan Shaoqing's arrogance and Xiao Wujin's worries. She had no idea about this matter.

"How about I go to the Western Region for a trip?"

"Can't!"

"Okay!"

Xiao Wujin and Yan Shaoqing's completely different answers shocked Shen Ru. "As a woman, do you need to do such a risky thing?"

Xiao Wujin said decisively.

"You are a woman, and you have good skills. You can generally escape unscathed. How about I take you to see it?"

Yan Shaoqing looked very interested.

"A batch of fine salt has been shipped over. I also want to see how it works over there. Shen Ru, how about being my guard?"

"Didn't you hear what I said?"

Xiao Wujin said with a cold face, he had thought about this before, Shen Ru was very good at martial arts, but at some point, he felt that it was not his wish to let Shen Ru take risks.

"But I want to go!" Shen Ru said very sincerely, "If there is no intention of invading there, I would really like to experience the exotic customs."

"Besides, I'm going to bring an oil lamp and a stone candle. Maybe it will be very popular?"

"Also, Mr. Xiao, have you ever thought about reopening the trade between Liangzhou and Fanbang? Daduan Dynasty is in turmoil. In fact... well, you can think about it boldly!"

"Shen Ru, be careful what you say!" Xiao Wujin said with a straight face, "I am also the governor of Liangzhou in Daduan!"

"Why do you say Daduan Chao is precarious?"

Yan Shaoqing caught the meaning of Shen Ru's words. As a refugee, she was far away in Liangzhou and had no knowledge of the war in the southwest. How could she say such a thing?

"Needless to say, our Shen family has no intention of rebelling, so we all ended up in exile. Many people died in that incident."

Shen Ru said that she would not say anything about Pei Wenjing's plan to take revenge on the Daduan royal family and overthrow the Daduan family.

"Xiao Wujin, what Shen Ru said makes sense. The imperial court can no longer control Liangzhou. Then, as the governor of Liangzhou, you can reopen the trade route. I believe all the countries in the Western Region will be very happy."

"The prosperity you want in Liangzhou is out of the question!"

Yan Shaoqing said cheerfully, that way the Yan family's business risks would be much less.

"Yan Shaoqing, you are thinking too well. If Daduan ceases to exist, can I, the governor, still be able to sit still?"

"Yes!" Shen Ru answered. Even if Pei Wenjing takes revenge later, for Pei Chongguang's sake, he will not do anything to Xiao Wujin. It is very likely that he will let Xiao Wujin continue to be him in another dynasty. The governor of Liangzhou!
"You know again?"

Xiao Wujin looked at Shen Ru coldly and said dissatisfied.

"Let me go to the Western Region. It's just right. I'll help you go and see what the attitude of the Western Region will be if the trade barrier with Daduan is reopened."

"It's just a hypothesis. It's just a hypothesis. Xiao Wujin, can't you take a longer view?"

Yan Shaoqing stood aside and asked, "Do you look down on Shen Ru, or do you not trust Shen Ru?"

"Do you think she as a woman cannot withstand the ups and downs of the Western Region, or do you think she will flee Liangzhou as a refugee?"

Xiao Wujin looked at Shen Ru and met Shen Ru's probing eyes.

"Yan Shaoqing, if you don't speak, no one will think you are mute!"

"I really want to go!"

Shen Ru became interested, and it was much more convenient for her to have Yan Shaoqing, a familiar visitor from the Western Regions.

"Master Xiao, please come on. My whole family is in Liangzhou. You don't have to worry about me running away."

"I'm not worried about this." Xiao Wujin said with a frown.

"Shen Ru, then he must be worried that you are not capable enough, tsk tsk, as expected, he looks down on women!"

Yan Shaoqing said coolly from the side.
