Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

Chapter 80 Wang Xuance enters Chang'an and the plan begins

With the arrival of their families and the final supplies, not only Li Yuanji, but everyone was very happy. Li Yuanji brought Yang Qingwan to the palace. Yang Qingwan was stunned for a moment when she saw this, and then she smiled.

"My lord, is this the palace?"

Li Yuanji looked at the shabby palace and admitted it openly.

“Yes, this is our palace, but it is only temporary. Once the city is built, we will start building the palace.

What I told you in Chang'an will definitely come true."

Yang Qingwan looked towards Li Yuanji with a tender gaze but a serious expression.

"My husband, I am not asking you to build the so-called palace. What I want to say is that everything is difficult here now. If you want to develop this place, the materials are bound to be limited. The palace cannot be built in a short time. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and requires a lot of manpower and material resources. You can delay the construction.

As long as I have a place to rest and be with my husband, I will be satisfied."

Yang Qingwan was born into a large family. She was not a woman who knew nothing. She saw many things very clearly.

Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment after hearing these words. He couldn't believe that these words came from Yang Qingwan's mouth. After a moment, he came to his senses and found that Yang Qingwan's qualities seemed to be no worse than those of the virtuous queens, right?

Li Yuanji immediately laughed, and he laughed very happily.

"Haha, you are worthy of being my wife. In fact, this is what I think. It's great that you can understand. I'll put up with you for the time being."

The two of them exchanged sweet words and came into the room. Yang Qingwan's eyes suddenly lit up, not for any other reason, but because she had smelled a fragrance. At the same time, looking at the many unique tables and chairs, as well as some decorations in the room, Yang Qingwan looked around curiously.

When Yang Qingwan saw the furniture made of rosewood, she felt a little distressed for a moment and didn't bother to find the source of the fragrance.

"My husband, why are you so extravagant? There isn't much red sandalwood in the palace. You made it into desks, tables and chairs. It's really a waste. If you sell it, how much money can it fetch? With the money, you can buy other supplies."

Li Yuanji looked at Yang Qingwan's distressed expression, but he kept smiling foolishly without any conscience.

"Don't feel bad about it. It doesn't take much red sandalwood to make these furniture. This red sandalwood is available in Lingnan. Although it's rare, it's enough for future use. Just use it.

Also, you can smell the fresh fragrance in the room, right?

That is another kind of wood, called Huanghuali wood, which is the same as red sandalwood. Except for the color, there is not much difference in other aspects. There are a lot of Huanghuali wood in Yazhou."

Yang Qingwan listened and felt relieved. She looked carefully and cautiously. When she found that the bed and cabinets were made of rosewood, she felt helpless but did not say anything.

Everyone came to the bedside, and Li Yuanji did not give Yang Qingwan any chance to speak. He carried Yang Qingwan to the prepared bathtub and started a double bath.

Yang Qingwan's face was filled with shame, but she did not stop him and let Li Yuanji do what he wanted. The water temperature in the bathtub seemed to sense something and was gradually rising.

Outside Chang'an, Wang Xuance, who was walking in a hurry, looked at the tall walls of Chang'an and was intoxicated for a moment. Wang Xuance's heart was indeed filled with shock. Since leaving Lingnan, he had walked in a hurry, but the closer he got to Chang'an, the more shocked Wang Xuance could feel. It was so different from Lingnan. Although he saw too many half-dressed disaster victims and bones on the road, the scene changed again when he entered the city.

The coming and going of people, the hawkers’ shouts, the street snacks, and the magnificent houses on both sides are what Wang Xuance longs for.

Only after seeing the prosperity could he understand why Li Yuanji wanted to develop Lingnan. Compared with Lingnan, this place was a paradise for people to live in.

Wang Xuance stared at the thick city walls and tall city gates, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

Su Dingfang, who was standing next to Wang Xuance, looked at Wang Xuance's expression and did not laugh. He could understand that compared to Lingnan, let alone Chang'an, all the cities he saw along the way were better than Haikang.

Although the Tang Dynasty is now in ruins due to war, no place in Lingnan can compare to it.

After a while, the soldiers at the city gate came up to the two men and seemed very impatient because they often saw country bumpkins like Wang Xuance.

"What are you doing? If you want to go into the city, come here quickly for inspection and don't block the people behind you."

Wang Xuance came back to his senses and looked at the soldiers guarding the city gate. These people at the city gate were responsible for checking people coming in and out.

Wang Xuance still did not move. Su Dingfang walked towards the soldier and took out the token of the Prince of Qi's Palace. The soldier immediately saluted and walked in to greet Wang Xuance and Su Dingfang. As for the inspection, what was it? Everything was normal.

After entering the city, Wang Xuance went straight to the official inn, took out the token, and moved in.

Inside the official inn, Wang Xuance and Su Dingfang sat together.

"Dingfang, be prepared. You cannot say that the incident involving Feng Xuan was done by someone from the Qin Palace. Remember, just say that it was done by someone from Chang'an. We don't know the details.

Now that we have entered the official inn, I believe the saint will soon know of our arrival. He will summon me to the palace tomorrow at the latest. You stay here and must be careful.

All the people who had to guard Feng Xuan had to be arranged. At night, as long as Feng Xuan was not trying to escape, they should ignore him. Even if there was any noise, as long as Feng Xuan was dead, they should still ignore him.

You take other people with you and lurk in the dark. When these people succeed, you immediately follow them and make the marks I give you on the way. Then I will follow the marks to find you."

Su Dingfang was shocked when he heard Wang Xuance's inexplicable words. He stared at Wang Xuance in disbelief. After a while, he came to his senses.

"Wang Changshi, what do you mean? The king brought Feng Xuan to us. This is the evidence that those people wanted to kill the king. How can we watch those people kill people to silence them?
Moreover, Wang Changshi, you were able to foresee that those people would come to kill and silence the witnesses, so why didn't you take precautions?
"Wang Changshi, don't forget your identity when you arrive in Chang'an, and don't forget the king's appreciation and kindness to you!"

Su Dingfang looked at Wang Xuance with an unfriendly face, as if he would kill Wang Xuance here if he dared to have any ulterior motives or betray Li Yuanji.

Su Dingfang did indeed plan this way, because of what happened to Ning Kailu, and after hearing what Wang Xuance said, it was hard for Su Dingfang not to think too much.
