Chapter 512 Do What You Want

"In that case, I will also join in and support Yiai!" Prince Lu Li Yuanchang echoed.

"I will also join in!" said the fifth prince Li You.

"You, you all want to invest? I can't guarantee that you can make a lot of money!" Fang Yiai scratched his head.

Suddenly, Alexander, who had originally wanted to travel around, see the local customs and culture along the way, and earn some money to spend.

I was very arrogant just now and boasted a lot, and all my friends bought shares.

"Master Su, don't you want to join in?" Li Tai felt that he couldn't leave out his friends in this opportunity to make a fortune.

Subconsciously, Li Tai regarded Su Ying as a close friend.

"No need, we have joined the Chen family in Quanzhou!" Su Ying smiled and shook her head.

When I passed by Quanzhou Port, I met with the head of the Chen family and talked about similar topics.

The head of the Chen family was eager to take a longer route, and after a long chat with Su Ying, he had a clear idea in mind.

The two also carried out in-depth cooperation. Liuqiu (the name of Taiwan during the Sui and Tang dynasties) was barren and uncivilized. The Chen family used their connections to obtain the development rights of the island.

Su Ying invested a large sum of money and provided sugar-making technology.

They reclaimed wasteland in Liuqiu, planted sugarcane, and developed it into a sugarcane producing area.

If the Chen family could really sail to South America and bring back potatoes, peppers, sweet potatoes, and tomatoes, it would be a great achievement.

Returning to the north, Su Ying took in the homeless beggars and refugees along the way.

Those who are willing to stay in the local area will be placed in the local sugarcane plantation.

Those who were willing to make a living in a foreign land were sent to the Chen family in Quanzhou, go out to sea or go to Ryukyu to grow sugarcane.

At that time, he did not expect that he would cooperate with Li Tai after returning to Chang'an. However, Li Tai's focus was on Yizhou, and his main market was the Silk Road in the land directions such as the Central Plains and the Western Regions.

It is in two different directions from the Chen family’s Maritime Silk Road.

"Lord Su has invested quietly! It seems that HNA Trading is very profitable!" The fifth prince Li You said loudly.

"It's not a lot. The Su family is not well-off." Su Ying said modestly.

The money invested was indeed not much, but the sugar-making technology and navigation route maps were very valuable, and even more valuable was the idea of ​​developing Liuqiu.

The deserted island in the eyes of others, after Su Ying's guidance, was not only strategically important, but also had fertile land suitable for growing sugarcane and rice, and contained a large amount of wealth.

The head of the Chen family took the initiative to propose cooperation. Su Ying didn't want to participate, but the head of the Chen family insisted.

Su Ying agreed, mainly because she was thinking about Ryukyu's northern islands, which were also in a critical location and could be developed first.

If there is an opportunity in the future, this will be a good waterway.

Su Boyan and his brothers listened silently. These were levels and heights that they could not normally reach.

Su Zhongyan also took his children on study tours, but never thought about the deeper meaning of HNA, only seeing its commercial value.

After watching his sister chat with the Crown Prince and several other princes, he realized how limited his knowledge was!

The sons of the Su family deeply understand that the people you come into contact with determine your cognition!

"Princess, are you two interested in participating?" Su Ying saw Princess Yuzhang pulling Princess Changle beside her.

"Let's not participate!" Changle said after a moment of hesitation.

"Princess, don't you want to go to the beach? The sea and the sky are one color, which is a magnificent sight that cannot be seen in Chang'an City. People can't stay in one place all their lives." Su Ying encouraged.

This princess was very talented, but her health was like that of Empress Changsun, and her life span was even shorter than that of Empress Changsun.

"We can go that far too," Princess Changle was moved.

"You are a princess, why can't you go to the Tang Dynasty according to the law?" Su Ying asked.

"Not at all!" Changle shook his head. "After marriage, a woman is expected to serve her parents-in-law and raise children..."

"That's a matter for the future. Right now, the princess is still the princess of the Heavenly Family, not anyone's wife.

Why should we shoulder the responsibility so early? Why not just live for ourselves and do what we want?

Su Ying couldn't understand it, but the eleven-year-old girl had been taught and domesticated to the point that she had no thoughts or self of her own.

Always be prepared to burn yourself for your husband's family! Su Ying believed that this was definitely not what Empress Zhangsun taught her.

I don’t know if it was because of the personal maids who took care of her daily life, but because the princess was young, she was brainwashed and tamed by them.

"Changle, why think about those things? What Master Su said makes sense. While you are still young, just do what you want to do." Li Chengqian also encouraged.

"That's right, Changle, even if you are married, you can do whatever you want! You don't have to care about other people's faces. You are the legitimate princess of the Tang Dynasty. Who can surpass you?" Li Tai also encouraged his sister.

"Well, okay!" Changle also joined in.

"Sister, let's invest together!" Yu Zhang said happily, "When Second Master Fang goes out to sea, we'll go see him off. It's a great opportunity to see the sea!"

"Yes! Let's go to Quanzhou together to see him off!" Li Tai also agreed.

"Okay! My brother is in Dengzhou. Let's take a boat from Dengzhou to Quanzhou and take a ride on a warship!" Du He suggested.

"Great! It's settled!" Li Tai said excitedly.

The two parties who usually quarreled when they met were now unusually harmonious.

Only Crown Prince Li Chengqian remained silent because he could not leave.

"What's wrong with you, Gao Ming?" Du He asked.

"You all go see the sea and take a big ship..." Li Chengqian looked lost.

"In fact, the Hongwenguan can also organize study tours! Let the princes see what the outside world is like instead of music, chess, calligraphy and painting and empty, unrealistic state governance strategies." Su Ying suggested.

"Yes, apart from being proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and history, we always give superficial answers to questions. Isn't it because we have never seen the world outside Chang'an?

Gao Ming, you are the crown prince, you should know how to go out more and see more!" Li Tai said sincerely for the first time.

Li Yuanchang looked at Li Tai in surprise. When did the wind change?

"Qingque is right! Let's go back and ask our father for help!" Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"Master Xiao Su, have you finished writing the intermediate mathematics you mentioned?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Not yet!" Su Ying was a little helpless. If you come here every day, I need time to write!

"Then you should print it as soon as possible at Hongwenguan so that it can be used for the classes at the Institute of Engineering!" Li Chengqian urged.

"I'll go to the Ministry of Industry to see if the blueprints for the research institute are out."

"My plan is not finished yet, I have to go back and work on it!" Li Tai also said goodbye.

"I have to go back and discuss the sailing with my father." Fang Yiai also stood up.

"I'll go back and raise money!" Du He said.

A group of people came and went in a flash, and the bustling and crowded reception room suddenly became empty.

"Aying, you really invested in HNA." Hu Erlang was still thinking about the map.

"I invested a little. Could it be that Mr. Hu Erlang also has this idea?" Su Ying saw a gleam in Hu Erlang's eyes.

"If you all go and the Hu family doesn't go, won't they be at a loss?" Hu Erlang joked.

"Young master, the master wants you to go to the study to discuss something!" Ah Fa said outside the door.

"Got it!" Su Ying stopped talking and went to the study.
