Huo Guang did not expect that Liu Tan would give such an evaluation of Princess Dangli.
He asked, somewhat confused, "Is there?"
Liu Tan did not explain it, but if you look at the characters, it is true. Liu Ju's characters are more rounded and gentle, just like his personality.
But Princess Dangli's handwriting is more angular and her strokes are sharp.
If she had such a personality, Liu Tan felt that Liu Che's love for Princess Dangli might not be just because she was the eldest daughter, nor because she proved that Liu Che was able to have children.
After all, some people might have suspected that Princess Dangli was not Liu Che's child at that time, and Wei Zifu's identity... destined her to not be a good woman.
Only when other people in the harem also start to give birth, it will be proven that Princess Dangli is a real princess.
But even so, after Liu Che had enough children, his preference for his eldest daughter would naturally decrease.
The reason why Princess Dangli was able to maintain the emperor's favor for so long was probably because she was most like Emperor Wu of Han in some ways.
Think about it, Liu Che's sons are not that much like him. Instead, his eldest daughter has the most similar temperament. How could he not like being the eldest princess?
Liu Tan put the letter aside, looked at the sky, asked someone to prepare gifts for the visit, and prepared to go the next day.
The next day, when Princess Li opened her mansion to welcome guests, it was considered news in Chang'an City, especially when Liu Ju rode his little white horse into the gate of the Princess Li's mansion in a very high-profile manner.
These days, the speed at which news travels is a mystery. Serious news may take a long time to reach the ears of those who need it, but gossip can spread throughout the streets and alleys in a very short time.
Basically, when Liu Tan just stepped into the Princess's Mansion, many people had already received the news.
Not to mention the three giants in the palace, the emperor, empress and crown prince.
Now all three of them are very confused, wondering why Liu Tan suddenly went to find Princess Dangli.
In fact, Princess Dangli herself was also surprised, because Liu Tan's visiting card did not specify why he came.
After Liu Tan entered the room, he saw Princess Dangli in red. He felt as if he had seen red plum blossoms in the snow, dazzling and eye-catching.
When Princess Li Chang welcomed him in and exchanged a few polite words, she was about to ask why he had come when Liu Ju said, "To be honest, I've come to ask a favor of you, sister, so I've brought a small gift. I hope you won't despise it."
As Liu Tan spoke, he pushed a very exquisite gilded lacquer box in front of Princess Dangli. Princess Dangli took it and opened it, and her eyes lit up when she saw it.
Even though she lived a secluded life, she knew that this piece of jewelry, named by her father himself, was extremely precious. She had also seen the jewelry on the queen, and it would be a lie to say that she didn't like it.
But perhaps because she inherited Liu Che's calm and rational nature, she was able to calmly put it down even when dazzled by the gemstone and said, "Fifth brother has sent such a valuable gift, but I may not be able to grant your request."
Princess Dangli has been at the center of power for so many years. What hasn't she seen? Liu Tan is now in high demand, and the problems he can't solve are enough to make Princess Dangli alert.
Liu Tan smiled slightly: "Apart from my sister, I really don't know who else can do this."
After saying this, he didn't keep anyone in suspense and directly told Princess Dangli about the honeycomb coal matter.
Princess Dangli was slightly stunned. She asked in confusion, "Why don't you just send someone to manage it yourself? Why do you need me to come?"
Liu Tan smiled shyly and said, "The Northern Kingdom is too far away. I can't control it."
Princess Dangli seemed to be lost in thought. Liu Tan didn't believe him when he said he had no control over Princess Dangli. She was still in Chang'an and had not returned to her fiefdom. There was no problem with the taxation of her fiefdom. What's more, the Queen was still in Chang'an. Who would be so blind as to dare to deceive Liu Tan?
So the only explanation is that Liu Tan didn't want to leave too many people in Chang'an, and he was avoiding suspicion.
Princess Dangli smiled. The smaller Liu Tan's influence in Chang'an was, the more at ease she felt. Not to mention that he was so knowledgeable and understanding, Princess Dangli was determined to help him even for the sake of her own brother.
But she didn't show any urgency. She just said, "I've never been involved in this before. If I take over rashly, I'm afraid it will cause you trouble."
Liu Tan knew there was a way, and quickly said, "There's no need for Sister to do anything, just ask Sister to deter the scoundrels."
As he spoke, he asked someone to deliver a document. The content on the document was very brief, just the size of the storage yard, the estimated annual output from the Northern Border Country, and the current forecast for the Chang'an market.
In order to prevent Princess Dangli from not understanding it, he asked Huo Guang to write it in a simpler way.
Princess Li looked at it and smiled, "Is this written by A Guang?"
Liu Tan replied, "Yes."
Princess Dangli knew Huo Guang very well. She used to think that Huo Guang must have other ideas when he followed Liu Tan to the Northern Border Kingdom.
Now it seems that he is truly assisting us, so it is worth cooperating with him.
She took a closer look and gasped, "So big?"
The data written by Huo Guang exceeded her imagination. According to what was written above, the storage yard was more than twice the size of her manor.
You should know that the manor that Liu Che gave to Princess Dangli was even larger than the one he had negotiated with Liu. This shows how scary the data given by Huo Guang was.
Liu Tan quietly explained the parts she didn't understand. Princess Dangli looked at the person behind her with a serious expression, "We need to hire civilians. According to your calculations, we can't not hire them either."
Liu Tanxin said, "How can we improve the national economy without expanding the area?" Moreover, even if the project can't be launched in one or two years, three or four years will always be enough. After all, the Liu family always does things in a grand manner. Wouldn't it be too late to expand when the need arises?
If his estimate is correct, Qi and Changyi should also start looking for coal mines, or after seeing that the Northern Border Country has made money, they will actively look for coal mines. So competition will be formed at that time. If the quality is the same, then it will be a competition of service.
However, Liu Tan had not yet figured out how to explain these words in terms that Princess Dangli could understand. After thinking about it, it was actually okay not to explain, as Huo Guang should explain everything that needed to be explained.
However, when it came to the division of the profits, Huo Guang was very conservative and only wrote 20%. Before coming, Huo Guang also asked Liu Tan to use the remaining 10% for negotiations. Generally speaking, he would not increase it if he could.
Liu Tan felt that if Huo Guang had not become a politician, he would have been an extremely successful businessman.
He was waiting for Princess Dangli to finish reading it and then start arguing with her about the profit sharing. But before he could even open his mouth, Princess Dangli said very straightforwardly, "Okay, let's do it this way."
Liu Tan was stunned for a moment: "Ah? Is it okay?"
Princess Dangli glanced at him in confusion. "You wrote this document, and you're asking me?"
Liu Tan immediately coughed lightly and said, "I mean, sister, if you still have questions, feel free to ask. Even siblings have to settle accounts."
Princess Dangli glanced at him and smiled, "You're quite honest. The writing on this document is quite generous. I'm guessing it wasn't A-Guang's idea. You asked him to write it this way, right?"
Liu Tan's eyes widened. "Ah? Can you tell that?"
Princess Dangli slammed the document onto the table and said, "Him? He left it to me in Chengdu because he felt guilty."
Liu Tan... Liu Tan suddenly wanted to know what kind of existence Huo Guang was in the eyes of Princess Dangli?
However, he didn't dwell on it and just smiled and said, "If Sister has no questions, then it's settled. Here are three copies of the document. I've already signed them. After signing, we'll each have one copy, and we'll report the rest to the Shaofu."
Princess Dangli stretched out her hand and said, "Wait a minute."
