A Thousand Hills

Chapter 214

Mu San came over, one to talk about shipping, and the other to ask about the construction of a seaport in Fujian, and what Duan Sihai planned here.

Since Jingjiang Prince's Mansion wanted to ship the goods, Ning Zhiyuan naturally arranged for the ship to bring the cash to receive it.As for the building of a port in Fujian, Ning Zhiyuan said, "As long as Fujian doesn't build a navy, building a port is their own business."

Mu San smiled, "After the establishment of the port, it is natural to do business with the sea."

"Doing business is a good thing. If we didn't point to the business at sea, we would have gone to beg for food." Mu Sanyi pointed out that Ning Zhiyuan just practiced Tai Chi.After interacting with Princess Xie, Ning Zhiyuan undoubtedly prefers Princess Xie's style of doing things, Princess Xie understands everything, I think what should be done, what is good for me, what is good for you, is clear Clearly, without any ambiguity, let alone this kind of paradox.In fact, what Ning Zhiyuan overlooked is whether he has this feeling deep in his heart. Even though the identity of Concubine Xie talks to me frankly, you, the son of a feudal lord, will have to make a detour.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of Ning Zhiyuan's city mansion, even though he is a little displeased with Mu San's way of talking, he still deals with him calmly.It's just that if you want to make eight turns, I'll show you sixteen turns.Therefore, Ning Zhiyuan just pretended to be stupid.

How did Mu San know that Ning Zhiyuan was displeased with the way he spoke, the conscience of heaven and earth, isn't that how nobles speak like this, who is like Princess Xie!Mu San didn't know about Ning Zhiyuan's change in aesthetics, so he continued, "Doing maritime trade without a navy, I haven't seen such a precedent."

"Look slowly, building a seaport is not a matter of a day or two. The navy is farther away, and Marquis Yongding has trained the navy." As a result, Ning Zhiyuan didn't mention it, but Mu San also knew it.

A smile appeared on Mu San's face, "I just learned this news, I'm afraid you don't know Zhiyuan, so I happened to come over and tell you by the way, since you know it well, I'm relieved."

Ning Zhiyuan smiled, "Third Young Master, just rest assured." But he was suspicious in his heart, did Mu San really not know about their contact with Fujian.Regarding Jiang Xingyun's visit, they kept it extremely secret, but they went to Fujian by themselves... King Jingjiang has always been committed to infiltrating forces in the surrounding areas. Is the land governance so airtight?
At this point, Ning Zhiyuan told Mu San to "don't worry", this topic meant to stop here.Mu San was not very satisfied, he wanted to stir up Duan Sihai's hostility towards Fujian, but seeing Ning Zhiyuan's tepid appearance... Think about Ning Zhiyuan's temperament, most of them are like this, it is hard to see Out of joy and anger.Mu San also smiled slightly and stopped talking.

It's okay for Mu San to come here to test and provoke, after all, it can stir up conflicts between Duan Sihai and Fujian, and Jingjiang can save the boss a lot of trouble.It's just that Ning Zhiyuan was unavoidably upset, didn't he take him for a fool, and said to Duan Sihai, "Lost light."

"The methods used by Mu San are indeed out of the light, but they are easy to understand. Princess Xie's methods are hard to resist when they look bright and open." Duan Sihai said, "When Jiang Xingyun and his party came, they asked us to send What do you think of the boat transfer?"

Ning Zhiyuan said, "At sea, if we pick them up, we can naturally guarantee their safety."

"That's right. In order to ensure their safety, this matter must be kept confidential. Therefore, Jingjiang has no way of knowing that Jiang Xingyun has come to us. You go to Fujian, and Fujian is also regarded as a secret, so go back and forth safely. This is Jingjiang has never been aware of the normal and responsible secret exchanges, but after today, if Jingjiang hears about it, he will definitely suspect that we are secretly colluding with the two parties in Fujian, and then take precautions against us." Duan Sihai said lightly, "Jingjiang We have always been on guard against each other, which is not surprising, but in the current situation, once the Mindi seaport is built, it will inevitably snatch Jingjiang's business. Jingjiang is afraid of Fujian and has come to provoke us. At this time, Jingjiang will Knowing that we already have a business agreement with Fujian, we will only be more defensive. Most directly, under Jingjiang's suspicion, we will never form an alliance with Jingjiang again. See, this is Princess Xie's conspiracy. "

Ning Zhiyuan said, "We are originally engaged in maritime business, and we were not affiliated with King Jingjiang. It is our own business to have an agreement with Fujian."

"If you truthfully told Mu San about our agreement with Fujian, King Jingjiang might not think too much about it."

Ning Zhiyuan immediately said, "There is no reason to report our own affairs to Jingjiang."

The corner of Duan Sihai's lips curled up, "So you see, King Jingjiang has to think a lot."

Ning Zhiyuan gasped, "Could it be Princess Xie's plan?"

"The Li family has always only done business with the Zhang family. Suddenly one day, the Li family went into the Sun family's business again. What will the Zhang family think?" Duan Sihai said, "Don't worry, Princess Xie is the first, and King Jingjiang is not easy to deal with. of."

Ning Zhiyuan thought about it, "Elder Brother knows the purpose of Xie Wangfei, why do you want to..."

"As you said, we are not vassals of King Jingjiang. Besides, Princess Xie's proposal is not bad for us."

"Brother is more optimistic about Princess Xie, right?"

"Concubine Xie is no different from King Jingjiang, they both aim at the throne." It's just...it's not that Duan Sihai has any personal relationship with Xie Moru, in fact, he has more friendship with King Jingjiang.However, although King Jingjiang is powerful, his age is a little too old...

Ning Zhiyuan said, "I heard that it was King Min who first proposed the establishment of a crown prince in the imperial court."

"What's so strange about this? The prince is not the emperor, he is the emperor. He can be established or destroyed."

Ning Zhiyuan suddenly gossiped, "Princess Xie has no children so far."

"Emperor Taizu has been sitting in the country for many years, but not a single blade of grass grows. For a real strongman, whether he has heirs or not will not affect the prospect of this person too much. The same is true for women."

The sea is quite turbulent, the construction of the seaport has already begun, and this is the year of autumn, so officials big and small in Fujian are really busy without touching the ground.By the way, there is also Princess Xie's birthday.

Concubine Xie's birthday on the first day of August, taking advantage of the celebration of the construction of the harbor this year, is going to be a big event.

What's more, Emperor Mu Yuan was quite interested in rewarding meritorious deeds. According to the system, the imperial court would give rewards on the birthdays of feudal princes and concubines. This year, Xie Moru was given double rewards.Xie Moru ordered Aunt Du Juan to write a thank-you note for him, and the fifth prince himself wrote a note for the emperor's father to report on the construction of the harbor, and handed it to the imperial capital together.

The birthday presents from other places arrived early, but in fact, they were mainly birthday presents from the Xie family. This year is probably not as good as in the past. Several princes and concubines in the imperial capital also prepared some things and sent them over, and the princes and concubines are not stingy people.Xie Moru was not interested in these birthday gifts, of course, she said to the fifth prince, "Since we came to Fujian, only the fourth siblings have sent people to send things every year. It can be seen that the prince's momentum today is different from the past."

How could the fifth prince not know this, and smiled, "How about living a life, it's better to be confused." Others looked good on him, but he couldn't relax all day, and the fifth prince also thought that he and Jingjiang must have a life-and-death battle.

The battle of life and death has not yet come, but King Jingjiang sent three sons to celebrate Xie Moru's birthday. Mu San is personable, courteous, and sincere, "Father often mentions your mother, we children are all by father's side, Only the empress, in the past she was far away and could not see her in person, but now that she is close, it is still inconvenient. Today is the empress's birthday, and the emperor specially ordered me to come over to congratulate her. May the empress be safe and happy."

With a slight smile on his face, Xie Moru said kindly, "I am thinking about King Jingjiang, and I always miss his old man. I think of our royal elders. I have met them all, but King Jingjiang can't see them in person. It is not a pity that he has not paid. If there is an opportunity, I will fulfill my long-cherished wish and meet the old man in person."

Mu San's face was full of joy, "We in Jingjiang look forward to the arrival of the empress all the time."

The fifth prince heard this and said, "Why, only the concubine is welcome, not the king?"

Mu San smiled, "My lord is willing to go, Jingjiang can't wait for it. When will my lord go, so I can prepare in advance?"

Hearing this made the fifth prince unhappy. The fifth prince is a majestic vassal king. He is at the same level as King Jingjiang, and he is not Wang Xiaoer next door to your house.I can tell you about this!The fifth prince has his own city, and said with a smile, "Once this king is settled, there will be a decree, Sanlang, don't worry." He laughed again, "It is said that Sanlang is a rare and stable person, why is he so rough? .”

Mu San was angry when he said "Sanlang" to the fifth prince, thinking that my father is your father's uncle, and I'm from your father's generation, so I should be more polite.In the end, not only was the fifth prince not polite at all, he even took the opportunity to teach him a few words.Mu Sanren laughed angrily, "Isn't this the news that the prince is going to visit us in Jingjiang, so I am overjoyed?"

The fifth prince continued to laugh, "It's always cheaper to go here anytime, but it's King Jingjiang, he's old, it's better to go out for a walk when you have time."

Mu San's nose is almost crooked, what does this mean, cursing his father?In fact, Xie Moru said that there is no need to be angry about this kind of thing. If the curse was useful, Emperor Mu Yuan would have stabbed King Jingjiang N times.Mu Sanpi replied with a smile, "I'm worried about you, the King of Min."

"It should be, our royal family, King Jingjiang's age and generation, except for the emperor's grandmother, is him." The fifth prince asked again, "Is your eldest brother okay?" This is the son of Jingjiang.After asking this question, it can be seen that the fifth prince knows how to block Mu San.

Mu San smiled, "Thank you, my lord, for your concern, brother is fine."

"That's good." The fifth prince nodded slightly, showing relief on his face, "As brothers, we have to help each other. San Lang said, didn't he?"

Mu San has a skill. The angrier he is, the more he smiles like a flower. Mu San smiled, "What the lord said is, I heard that the lord and the prince are very harmonious. Straightforward."

The fifth prince laughed, "Saburo is very well informed. Although I am away from the feudal clan, I often communicate with the crown prince. Without the guidance of my father and the crown prince, the construction of the harbor would not have been so smooth."

Xie Moru looked at the fifth prince and Mu San, who were a little dumbfounded, and said to himself, this man has to be caressing, he is really more verbose than a woman!With a glance at the end of his eyes, he saw a guy poking his head outside the door. Xie Moru's eyes were never bad, especially since she recognized this person, so she asked, "Xiao Tang, what's the matter?"

The person outside is Xiao Tang, Xiao Tang came over, he must have something to do, he waited outside for the transmission, and heard a few words, seeing Xie Moru calling him, Xiao Tang came in with his chest out, saluted first, Fang said , "I was just arranging the birthday ceremony hall for the empress, and the birthday gifts given by your majesty and the East Palace cannot be accommodated in one room. I would like to ask the empress if you want to separate the room."

"Alright."

Xiao Tang didn't leave after he got the answer, he sighed loudly, "It is said that a wife is more valuable than a husband, and our prince is away. His Majesty and His Royal Highness are always concerned about and caring about it. Therefore, on the princess's birthday, many things are bestowed on her. The concubine ordered the ministers to put it out so that the officials from Fujian can enjoy His Majesty and the prince's grace. Such a father and son are so affectionate, and the ministers are very moved!" He also supported the fifth prince.It's just that Xiao Tang's chanting of three sighs made everyone in the hall get goosebumps all over their bodies. In this season when the autumn wind is blowing, they are almost freezing to death, right?
Mu San got angry even more, glanced at Xiao Tang, and said to himself: Who is this dead eunuch!

Mu San has always been gracious, even though he was furious, he still said lightly, "I'm talking to your lord, it's not good for this father-in-law to intervene, is it?" How he and the fifth prince are arguing with each other, even though Mu San is angry, he will not take it seriously. What do you think, one is that there is some friction between the two places, and the other is that the identity of the king of Fujian does not insult him, but Xiao Tang is different. Mu San sees that he is young, handsome, white and beardless, wearing green clothes, It is quite similar to the eunuch in the same palace.It would be a great shame and humiliation if an eunuch raped him.

Xiao Tang didn't quite understand it at first, but after he digested the word "father-in-law", he suddenly became furious. He is the son of a dignified governor and currently in the yamen. Someone dared to call him a eunuch. Xiao Tang asked angrily, "Damn you!" Sissy, what are you talking about!" Xiao Tang put his hands on his waist, jumped forward with his legs, and thrust out his hips vigorously.

Ho, a prisoner to death!What are you doing!Mu San has always thought that he has outstanding demeanor, and no one has ever called him a sissy. Now that he is scolded by the "eunuch", Mu San is about to kick him.The fifth prince was furious, "Stop it all!" Fighting is too outrageous, the key point is that Xiao Tang was born thin, it doesn't look like he can beat Mu San!If Mu San hits his subordinates, it will hit him in the face!Who knew that Xiao Tang was quite nimble, as soon as Mu San stretched his legs, Xiao Tang jumped towards him as soon as he got short, but in an instant, Xiao Tang's hat flew off, and Mu San grabbed his hair.Of course, Mu San was also having a hard time, his face was pale and he stuttered, "You, you, you, let me go!"

Xiao Tang squeezed Mu San's lifeblood again, and asked, "Who do you think is the eunuch!"

Xie Moru has never seen such a thing in his life, so he came back to his senses later, but he couldn't see Mu San was injured in the palace. Besides, fighting like this is outrageous, he said, "Let go, talk well."

Xiao Tang didn't let go, he said very plainly, "If I let go, he'll make a fool of himself!"

Mu San's face was half white and half red, and everyone was going to faint with anger, but he didn't dare to pull Xiao Tang's hair to death. It's not that he didn't want to pull it. In the hand, Mu San had no choice but to say angrily, "You fucking let go!"

"Look, you're still scolding me!" Xiao Tang held his hands, with a face of a villain, "What about your self-cultivation, your demeanor, your restraint, and your mind? Heh heh heh!"

Mu San gritted his teeth: I x eighteen generations of your ancestors!

Fifth Prince: Well done Xiao Tang!
Xie Moru looked at the two people who were torn apart, and then at the fifth prince who was dark and cool, and decided deep in his heart: no evaluation!
