Chapter 637 Full of Motivation

Su Ruoyun lamented that the Great Yan Dynasty and the Gulin Royal Court attached different importance to things.

In the evening, Su Ruoyun would also chat with Gu Lenghan about the differences she discovered.

"You see, here in the Gulin Royal Court, spices are common and inexpensive because there are so many of them. But in the Great Yan Dynasty, these spices are what noble families use to fumigate their clothes and burn incense, so they are very expensive."

"In the Great Yan Dynasty, tea comes in both cheap and expensive varieties. Of course, the cheap tea is extremely popular when brought to the Gulin Royal Court. Everyone is willing to exchange a lot of spices for a small amount of tea."

"And there's fabric. Most people in Jiangzhou can weave those kinds of fabrics with various patterns. Bring them here. The nobles here all like to use those fabrics to make clothes..."

"If this opens up the trade route between the Gulin Royal Court and the Great Yan Dynasty, the price difference alone will be huge."

"We'll open a trade route in the future. This side can provide some unusual things to the Great Yan Dynasty, and the Great Yan Dynasty can provide some unusual things to this side."

Su Ruoyun believes that trade can bring mutual benefits to the two countries.

The Gulin Royal Court is quite far away from the Dayan Dynasty.

Gu Lenghan found it a little funny to see Su Ruoyun's energetic and motivated look.

"I was worried that you wouldn't be used to it, but I didn't expect you to throw yourself into business as soon as you arrived."

It can be said that he is full of energy.

Seeing her like this, he didn't need to worry too much.

Su Ruoyun was indeed very excited.

She discovered that there were a lot of supplies in the forest outside the Ancient Forest Royal Court.

She wanted to thank her third aunt for collecting the books and popularizing the knowledge for her.

It allows her to recognize many things.

And all the seasonings needed for cooking are here.

There are all kinds of seasonings, including common ones such as cinnamon, star anise, bay leaves, peppercorns, etc., as well as uncommon spices.

Especially when she followed Gu Lenghan through the forest, she was stunned by the huge cassia trees.

The bark can be peeled off to make cinnamon.

When I was in my hometown Liuhe Village, when I first made braised food with my third aunt, in order to make the taste better, my third aunt found a way to get spices.

But spices are expensive, so we use them sparingly in daily life, using only a little bit.

So when she saw the spices in the mountains, she was extremely excited.

“I just think there’s a lot of supplies here.”

Gu Lenghan looked at Su Ruoyun gently and said, "Do whatever you want, but be sure to protect yourself. When you go out, be sure to have the secret guards with you to protect you."

Only when he is with Su Ruoyun every day does Gu Lenghan feel relaxed.

Looking at his energetic appearance, he seemed to have gained a lot of strength.

Su Ruoyun nodded and said, "I know, I will pay close attention."

"Do you need my help with anything?"

Gu Lenghan said gently, "No need. I have already contacted some of my old subordinates. There are also people left behind by my father and mother in the palace. My father gave me a secret army token."

"When the time is right, we can seize control of the royal court."

Su Ruoyun knew that it was easier said than done.

"You just have to protect yourself."

"In fact, the store you opened is equivalent to a sleight of hand, confusing many people."

Su Ruoyun smiled and said, "Is it because a caravan like mine openly chooses shops and does business that it is less likely to arouse suspicion?"

Gu Lenghan nodded and said, "That's right. Besides, the shop is located in a prosperous place not far from the royal court. I guess those people would never have thought that I would be hiding there."

Su Ruoyun smiled and said, "My Third Aunt once said that the most dangerous place is actually the safest place. This method is the most suitable for hiding."

Gu Lenghan even touched Su Ruoyun's hair in admiration.

He felt that Su Ruoyun was his happy pill.

He could always relax where she was.

"Leng Han, if you become king, can I come and go as I please to do business?"

"I am the king, and I am the queen. You naturally have the final say."

Su Ruoyun blushed. Although she knew the relationship between the two, she still felt a little embarrassed.

However, despite this, Gu Lenghan felt that she was not yet of marriageable age, so he was always polite and protective towards her.

She could also feel his attentiveness.

"By the way, you can mobilize my secret guards at will."

"I will only mobilize half of them. The others must stay by your side to protect you."

Su Ruoyun's safety is also very important to Gu Lenghan.

Su Ruoyun said: "I think you will definitely seize control of the royal court."

"But I've noticed that your people mainly rely on spices for their livelihood, which is rather monotonous. We should still provide more crops."

"Fortunately, when I came here, Aunt San gave me some high-yield crops that I can plant."

"The mountains and forests here are also suitable for growing soybeans, and the land is fertile, so we can grow some wild medicinal herbs."

If there were more crops and medicinal herbs here, people's lives would be more convenient.

Gu Lenghan doesn't know much about agriculture.

But he knew Ruoyun understood.

"good."

He trusted Ruoyun's judgment.

Because of Gu Lenghan's support, Su Ruoyun opened another grain store.

Many ordinary people come here to see the food.

Su Ruoyun asked the employees to explain the yield and use of these and how to grow them.

Some people tried to take it back and plant it.

Spring is just right for spring plowing.

Su Ruoyun thought that if soybeans were grown in large quantities, they could also be used to make soybean sauce.

Soy sauce is a condiment.

If it is made, it will taste delicious when used to cook dishes.

There should be some sales.

If everyone is at the stage of making ends meet, they may not care about the taste of food and think that being full is enough.

But if everyone has solved the problem of food and clothing, they may pay more attention to the taste of food.

Just like when we were in Jiangzhou, everyone’s conditions improved and they liked to go shopping and buy some snacks and food.

Pay attention to the taste of food.

In the Gulin Royal Court, there is a big class gap between the nobles and the common people.

Su Ruoyun wanted to help make some changes in the Gulin Royal Court for Gu Lenghan.

Even a little bit is fine.

There are many plants and trees here, and some of the bark can be used to make cloth.

There are also several unique fruits.

Su Ruoyun remembered that her third aunt had told her some things and she had also read some books.

She plans to research a kind of food.

If we could develop that kind of food, we could make something to fill our stomachs just by picking these strange fruits from the mountains.

So if she has nothing to do on weekdays, Su Ruoyun likes to go out for a walk.

On this day, Su Ruoyun took the secret guards out and went to the forest.

The most common thing here is rice crackers.

Of course, the secret guards who followed him out were all in casual clothes and their auras were restrained, so others naturally could not tell that they were secret guards.

"Master, shall we pick these fruits?"

Su Ruoyun said, "Yes, I asked. Although this kind of rice cracker is a specialty of the forest around the Ancient Forest King Court, it doesn't taste very good, so not many people pick it."

"Only those who don't have enough to eat would come here to pick these rice crackers and take them home to eat."

"So there are so many fruits in this forest, but no one is picking them. We can pick them and take them back to study new food."

Anyway, there are people watching over the shop, so she can tinker with these things.

If these things can really make the kind of food she imagined, then the people here will have food to eat.

This can be eaten as a staple food.

She thought that she didn't understand politics or war, but she knew a little about eating.

She just wanted to do something for the Gulin Royal Court to the best of her ability.

Because sometimes she would see that what nobles wore and used was very different from what common people wore.

Some of the civilians were very thin.

Su Ruoyun picked the rice crackers and took them back to the house.

Yes, they also bought a house here to live in first.

It's not far from their shop.

It is convenient for her to go to the store and do work at home on weekdays.

Fortunately, Su Ruoyun has a lot of manpower.

Now these secret guards are helping her.

"Master, what do we do with these rice crackers now? Are they clean?"

Su Ruoyun nodded and said, "Well, wash them first, then remove the cores of the rice crackers and put all the rice crackers in the basin."
