I Don’t Want To Be the Emperor

Chapter 74: Stocking up on food

Look at what kind of life you are living.

People travel through it and become prosperous, with one person below them and ten thousand people above them. When they go out, they will be cheered in front of them and supported by their backs. When they enter, they will have groups of concubines waiting on them, enjoying all the blessings of the people.

As for myself, because of my ridiculous sense of shame and conscience, I am still single now!

 Can’t eat Chinese food, and have no hope of Western food!

 At dinner, Hong Ying handed Lin Yi the gift list that Xie Zan and others planned to give to the emperor.

 "My king's coral, jade, luminous pearls, and silver"

Lin Yi said heartbrokenly, "It's not theirs, they really don't feel bad."

Hong Ying nodded and said, "Your Majesty, would you like to subtract some more?"

Lin Yi sighed and said, "Forget it, I don't have much in the first place. If I reduce it some more, I might as well not give it away."

 Hong Ying took the gift list and left.

However, on the third day, Lin Yi became happy.

　　Du Sanhe’s one million taels of silver were delivered along with three large ships.

Three large ships sailed into the Xijiang River from the sea. The high bows and masts of the ships attracted the children in the school. Ignoring the dissuasion of the teachers, they all skipped class and climbed into the trees to scream at the ships.

Even the people in Baiyun City rushed out to watch, and the streets were empty for a while.

Many of them had seen large ships before, but this was their first time seeing a large ship sailing into the Xijiang River.

 “Your Majesty, please come this way.”

A group of guards from the palace opened the way, and Tian Shiyou led the way, leading Lin Yi through the crowd and reaching the river.

Lin Yi boarded the ship through the steep gangplank and walked directly to the third floor.

Climbing high and looking into the distance, he looked at the vast river surface and said, "I didn't expect that the river was quite deep, and such a big ship didn't run aground."

Tian Shiyou smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it is said that some years ago, before there was Baiyun City, the Nanyang countries and the Ayu Kingdom came to the capital to pay tribute. They sailed directly into the Xijiang River and then entered the capital by land."

Lin Yi said curiously, "So there is such a thing, and I didn't even know about it."

Tian Shiyou smiled and said, "My lord, do you think this boat is still ready?"

Du Sanhe is really willing to give up. "

“Oh, by the way, you also promised to send me a big ship,”

Lin Yi looked at Tian Shiyou, "Where's the boat?"

Tian Shiyou said, "Prince, don't worry, in Yuanhai, the common people will not dare to deceive the prince."

Lin Yi said, "From now on, you are my king's people, so there is no need to distinguish between us.

 What is yours belongs to me, and what belongs to me is naturally still my king’s. "

ˆ “”

Tian Shiyou looked sad.

“Look at your performance, I take advantage of others at will?”

Lin Yi said angrily.

 It’s clear whether it’s good or not!

Tian Shiyou almost couldn't help but blurt out.

But he still said with a smile on his face, "Of course not."

Lin Yi said, "How many big ships you have yourself, and how many big ships you can contact outside, tell them all, don't hide them.

Join a big ship and make money together. "

 “What does the prince mean?”

 “It’s so simple and you still don’t understand?”

Lin Yi rolled his eyes at him and spat out the dogtail grass in his mouth. After watching it slowly fall into the water from a high altitude, he said, "I will be their backer and let them send out ships, people, and money, okay?" ?”

Tian Shiyou grinned and said, "Your Majesty, this is great!"

 Sometimes, he is quite willing to chat with this prince.

Although sometimes it can make people mad to death, if you speak straightforwardly and don't mince words, you don't need to use your brain to think too much, which saves you worry and effort!

Seeing the prince looking at him again, he hurriedly said, "If the common people contact us, we can probably get together ten large ships!

This does not include those from Nanzhou. If the common people there contact us, there will be even more! "

Lin Yi said in surprise, "Can I contact someone from Nanzhou?"

Tian Shiyou said, "My lord, you don't know how many people want to do business in Nanyang!"

Lin Yidao, "So for so many years, no one has gone to Nanyang to do business?"

Tian Shiyou said, "Of course not, otherwise Du Sanhe would **** it from whom?

People who go are like crucian carp crossing the river, but they all suffer from pirates. If they are not careful, they will lose both life and property.

Those who can really make a fortune are usually those with strong strength. Pirates do not dare to stroke their beards easily or make friends with pirates like Du Sanhe. "

Lin Yi nodded and said, "Then when will you be ready to set off?"

Tian Shiyou said, "Your Majesty, going to sea is naturally complicated and cannot be prepared in a short time. For example, it takes two months to receive and load the goods.

The grassroots people have thought about it, so let’s prepare food. There have been constant natural and man-made disasters in recent years, and there is a shortage of food everywhere. As long as we transport it out, we will definitely make a lot of money. "

 “Transporting food?”

Lin Yi glared and said, "Why don't you look so beautiful to me?"

Let this king remember that not a single grain of Sanhe's food is allowed to go out. "

 “Your Majesty, this is a profitable business!”

Tian Shiyou jumped anxiously.

 “Don’t you know how to boil salt?”

Lin Yi held on to the railing, blowing the river breeze, stretched his arms, "Let's continue selling salt."

 “Your Majesty, there is a war in Yuezhou and it is impossible to go there. The common people have said it a long time ago.”

Tian Shiyou wondered, "The road to the north is not very familiar to ordinary people."

 “Then slowly get familiar with it,”

After Lin Yi finished speaking, he continued, "Master Xie, continue to purchase and store grain. If there is not enough space, let Mr. Bian continue to build a granary."

Xie Zan said happily, "Your Majesty is wise!"

This suggestion was something he had mentioned a long time ago, and now that the prince is willing to adopt it, he is naturally very excited.

There is already a situation of turmoil in front of us, and the most precious thing is food.

 So it’s not wrong to save more food.

Tian Shiyou pointed to the river and said, "Your Majesty, look."

Lin Yi blocked the sun with his hand, squinted his eyes, and looked carefully. A small boat came out from the side of another large boat. Du Yinniang, Wen Qian and others were standing on it, and they were going down the river.

“I didn’t expect you didn’t even say hello, it’s really rude.”

Lin Yi looked at the boat going away and felt a sense of regret.

Mingyue said, "My lord, would you like me to invite you over?"

Lin Yi shook his head and said with a smile, "The melon that is forced is not sweet."

Zixia asked doubtfully, "My lord, didn't you say that it might be really fragrant in the end?"

Wen Zhaoyi heard the sound and looked over. Lin Yi coughed twice and turned his back.

 Two days later.

Tian Shiyou resigned and went to Yuanhai. Lin Yi thought about it and simply followed.

On the other hand, being idle is idle, why not go see the blue sky and the sea.

With Wang Ye's mouth, he ran a broken leg with the people of the palace.

Just the belongings of the prince and himself were collected in twenty boxes, and there were sixty-seven servants and guards. Tian Shiyou was stunned to see this.

On the day of departure, Lin Yi sat on a big chair on the deck, holding a tea cup. On his left was Hong Ying, and on his right was Wen Zhaoyi.

Wen Zhaoyi straightened her hair that was lifted up by the Jiang wind and said with a smile, "The last time I went to sea was probably fifty years ago."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "This time, we will eat all the sea fish."

Although they are also available in Baiyun City, they are not fresh, and the prawns I occasionally eat still have a fishy smell.
