Shi Qingluo was also surprised to hear Xiao Hanzheng's words.
"Hasn't he always been very cautious? How did he fall into the trap set by the Northern Prince?"
I always feel like there's something wrong.
Xiao Hanzheng held her hand and said, "My lady is really smart."
"He was betrayed by his trusted lieutenant, who sold out his travel route."
Shi Qingluo thought for a moment and asked, "Is his deputy colluding with the Ge Kingdom? Is this something the Northern King's concubine did?"
Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "Yes, Ge Chunru's father once saved that deputy general. He stayed at the Ge family to recover from his injuries for a while. At that time, Ge Chunru's mother was still alive and took good care of him. He always kept it in mind."
"Ge Chunru's siblings are all dead, and he feels bad about it."
"Then Ge Chunru's mother sent someone to persuade him, and he also had some secret thoughts about Ge Chunru's mother, so he agreed to betray his scumbag father."
Shi Qingluo raised his eyebrows, "I didn't expect Ge Chunru's mother to be quite capable."
Not only did she seduce the Northern King to marry him as his concubine, but she also made everyone around her scumbag father have interests in her.
If I didn't like him, I probably wouldn't agree to do something like betraying my scumbag father.
She asked, "Does that scumbag dad know?"
Xiao Hanzheng shook his head, "He doesn't know."
"In fact, if I hadn't arranged for someone to be around my scumbag father, and accidentally discovered that something was wrong with the deputy general, and then discovered the problem by keeping an eye on his movements, otherwise, no one would have known about this except Ge Chunru's mother and the deputy general."
Shi Qingluo asked: "Should I tell my scumbag father?"
Xiao Hanzheng smiled and asked back: "What do you think?"
Shi Qingluo said truthfully: "I think he should know..."
"He was able to climb to the position of general. In addition to his own abilities, he also relied on his grandfather to teach him martial arts.
"Then he abandoned his wife for Ge Chunru. Although he also abandoned Ge Chunru, I still felt that it was not enough."
"Let him know that it was Ge Chunru's mother who caused his legs to be crippled and his future to be ruined. Only then will he feel that he was blind. For someone like Ge Chunru, he lost his home, his future and the rest of his life."
"The best punishment and revenge for him is to make him live in painful regret for the rest of his life."
When a person dies, it's like a light goes out. Everything is written off. How meaningless that is.
Although the young husband's family was destroyed by Ge Chunru in his previous life, the culprit was actually his scumbag father.
It takes two to tango. Without his connivance and turning a blind eye, how could Ge Chunru be so bold.
Before they left Xiaxi Village, his scumbag father had also taken action, wanting to kill his husband and keep him in the village forever, so death would be too easy for the other party.
Xiao Hanzheng hugged Shi Qingluo into his arms, "What my lady said is exactly what I thought."
They are not only a loving couple, but also a soul mate.
Shi Qingluo hugged his waist and said, "We are in tune with each other."
She then asked, "Are the two countries about to have a real war?"
Xiao Hanzheng found that his young wife was not only smart, but also far-sighted. "Well, the Northern King is under house arrest in the capital. The Ge Kingdom will most likely use him as an excuse to start a war."
Shi Qingluo sighed, "Alas, once the fighting starts, the people and soldiers along the border will suffer."
But the war between the two countries will come sooner or later. After all, the national strength of the two countries is not much different. There cannot be two tigers in one mountain. Both want to defeat the other and become the king.
Moreover, the Ge Kingdom was too aggressive, and Daliang could not have peace.
Unless Daliang made some concessions, it might involve marriage and tribute, which would be difficult for her to accept, not to mention that the emperor could not tolerate it.
In the previous life, Daliang had experienced the rebellion of Prince Jin and the previous dynasty, which severely damaged its economy and military. In addition, with the existence of people like Ge Chunru, Daliang lost several cities in a row.
Not this time.
Shi Qingluo nodded, "Well, I believe that with you here, we will definitely be able to scare the Ge Kingdom this time, and they will not dare to set foot on the border of Daliang again."
Xiao Hanzheng kissed her forehead and said, "I will never let you down!"
He had already written a memorial and sent it by carrier pigeon to the capital, asking the emperor to dispatch troops and food to the northern border and be ready for battle at any time.
In the following period of time, Shi Qingluo was mainly in charge of the enrollment of the Craftsmen Academy.
If you have students, you naturally need teachers.
In addition to the craftsmen that his scumbag father had given him before, Xiao Hanzheng also went to lobby many families, and each family finally sent several mature craftsmen to teach at the Craftsmen Academy.
Xi Rui also wrote a letter back to the capital, asking his family to help find a group of experienced craftsmen to be sent to Beicheng as teachers.
While helping Shi Qingluo, he continued to learn from the existing craftsmen.
Shi Qingluo discovered that Xi Rui had a great talent for mechanics. Not only could he draw inferences from one instance, but he could also tinker with a lot of new gadgets.
Recently, the water road between Beicheng and Heyang County has been repaired, and the trade between the two places has gradually developed.
Xi Rui once heard her casually pick up a tricycle, and he actually got it out a few days ago.
It is somewhat similar to the modern human-powered tricycles. There are several iron mines in northern Xinjiang, and the workshops under the prefect are not short of iron, so the frame is made of iron.
Two more types were created, one for transporting people and the other for transporting goods.
When Shi Qingluo saw these two types of bicycles, he personally rode them to try them out.
Although it is heavier than modern ones, it is much easier than just pulling it with manpower.
She smiled and suggested, "You could open a car dealership specializing in selling and renting out cars like this."
Xi Rui is now much calmer than when he first came to Northern Xinjiang. "Before, I was thinking of opening a car dealership and selling cars for fun."
He asked curiously, "How do you get the rental you mentioned?"
Shi Qingluo said: "Build a batch of tricycles and rent them out to people to transport people or goods."
"After all, if you want to sell this tricycle, it won't be very useful to the rich. They can use horse-drawn carriages to transport things, but the poor can't afford it."
"Then besides selling, you can also open a car rental company."
"Tricycles that can carry people can be rented to poor but strong people to carry people in the north city."
"For example, if I walk from here to the west of the city, it will take me 15 minutes. If I can take a tricycle, I can save at least half the time and not be tired."
"The rickshaw driver can also earn money to supplement his family income by driving passengers."
She also saw the tricycles that pulled people, and suddenly remembered a TV series she watched in the 1990s, when human-powered tricycles were very popular.
This can also solve many employment problems.
Although the North City is not as prosperous as the capital, it is also very hot. Rich families have horse-drawn carriages for travel, but small families cannot afford them.
If there were human-powered tricycles and the fare was reasonable, I believe many people would be willing to take one.
"It's the same with transporting goods. A human-powered tricycle can transport goods faster than an oxcart. As long as the price is right, business will definitely be good."
Human-powered tricycles were very popular for transporting goods in the 1980s and 1990s, and I believe they could become popular in ancient times as well.
