Lin Yu sat in a superior guest room, staring fiercely at the person who bowed to him.
"What did you say? Left Prime Minister Kuturi was attacked in the Great Zhou territory and was seriously injured?"
Lin Yu suddenly stood up, walked up to the saluting man, and said with a look of surprise, "Now that our partners, Junshan Wang and Zuo Xiang, are dead, we need to find new partners. Originally, when we ambushed Tao Zipeng's cousins in Yingzhou last time, I deliberately saved him. It was a good move. Who would have thought that Tao Zipeng's underage sister would see through it at a glance, causing me to be suspected."
Princess Anle, who was personally conferred the title by Emperor Jianchang, is not very tall, but her insight is very strong and should not be underestimated!
It is no longer possible to use the name and power of the General's Mansion to do things in the capital of the Great Zhou.
It went bankrupt before it even started.
She must find a new partner as soon as possible to help the Northern Barbarians survive this food crisis on the grassland.
June and July every year are usually the seasons with abundant rain, lush grasslands, and fat cattle and sheep. However, the Northern Barbarians are now experiencing an unprecedented crisis.
After entering summer this year, the entire Northern Barbarians experienced little rain and drought, and a large amount of grassland and pasture yields decreased. Herds of cattle and sheep starved to death, and the remaining ones were infected with plague.
It was already halfway through the year and they had nothing to eat.
If the Northern Barbarians want to purchase a large amount of food and refined iron for refining weapons from the Great Zhou, accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity to capture the rich Great Zhou, they must cooperate with the nobles of the Great Zhou who have certain strength to help them.
"Get up, sit down and talk. You have lived in the Great Zhou for many years. Tell me in detail about the situation in the capital of the Great Zhou so that I can know where to start."
Lin Yu sat down again. The big man, dressed in the style of a Great Zhou man, stood up and sat down after hearing the order.
He carefully told his master some of the situations he knew.
After listening to it, Lin Yu was very dissatisfied.
But she also knew that as a member of her clan, she was just a businessman in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so how could she get to know someone more powerful?
When she found that there were no available resources, she asked unwillingly.
"Then tell me about the princes and princesses of the Great Zhou Emperor."
In her opinion, only by getting to know these people can she help the Northern Barbarians.
The man thought for a moment and explained, "All of His Majesty's sons are useless. Only one, the Crown Prince Yong, is truly powerful. He holds even greater power than the princes. If we could gain his help, perhaps things would be much better."
Lin Yu's charming eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "How much power does he have?"
So the man told her what Xiao Lichen had done.
After listening to it, Lin Yu was very tempted, but when she thought about Xiao Lichen's methods of dealing with people, she hesitated.
"This man is too dangerous. It would be better for us to find a prince who is easier to control and use."
The two men chose among the princes of Emperor Jianchang and decided to get close to the eighth prince Xiao Chengyan.
The reason why he was chosen was the result of Lin Yu's careful consideration.
The eldest prince has a shrewd princess consort and a powerful family by his side, and the other party will not cooperate with her.
The remaining princes were missing, some were imprisoned for committing crimes, some were demoted to commoners, or they were still underage.
There is only one eighth prince, His Royal Highness Prince Xin, who has no background among these princes, but is still alive and well.
It can be seen that he is also a capable person, but he seems to have no presence in the capital, which shows that his strength is limited, and he is a good partner.
After thinking this through, Lin Yu decided to take the opportunity to get close to Prince Xin Xiao Chengyan.
After seeing the big man off, she sighed.
It's a pity for Tao Zipeng, this chess piece. Originally, with his background and influence in the capital of the Great Zhou, as long as she works secretly under his banner, she can achieve twice the result with half the effort and help the Northern Barbarians.
After successfully making Tao Zipeng have different feelings for her, she felt confident that this trip to the Great Zhou would successfully complete the task assigned by her father.
It was her bad luck that she met Tao Zipeng's sharp-eyed sister. After the confrontation, she realized that the other party was very powerful and the Tao family was not someone she could use.
When she was in Beiman, she often heard how powerful Tao Zhihong of the Great Zhou was. She thought the rumors were too exaggerated.
After meeting Princess Anle of the Tao family, she believed it.
The Tao family is not easy to mess with. She must abandon the image of a savior she has created and stay away from Tao Zipeng.
Next, as long as she could find a way to get close to the Eighth Prince of the Great Zhou, she would be sure to reach a cooperation with him.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu went downstairs, left the inn temporarily, and went to a nearby clothing shop to pick out beautiful clothes.
The wife of the newly appointed Minister of Rites brought her personal nanny to personally choose clothes for the children at home. She met Lin Yu in a clothing store.
The two people had a great conversation and became familiar with each other when they parted.
This matter soon reached Xiao Lichen.
"You must secretly identify these two individuals and report any unusual movements to us immediately."
After his men left, Xiao Lichen's eyes flashed with brilliance.
He wanted to see how this Northern Barbarian Princess would stir up trouble right under his nose.
Tao Yuwei, lying at home, was very bored at the moment.
She simply sent her consciousness into the space, paid silver twice, and started the lottery.
This time, she actually pulled out a bunch of fresh sweet potato sprouts, which made her laugh out loud in surprise.
"Yunxiao Baishuang, let's go to mother's farm this afternoon and plant these sweet potato seedlings."
Tao Yuwei was very excited at the thought of eating delicious roasted sweet potatoes in winter.
She first went to find Mrs. Wu and informed her mother that she wanted to occupy some land on the farm to grow crops.
Mrs. Wu said indifferently that she could plant it as she pleased.
It is much better for my daughter to mess around on the farm than to do those trouble-making things in the capital.
When she arrived at the farm, she showed the bundle of things to the old man who managed the farm and told him the benefits of sweet potatoes. The old man, who had been growing crops all his life, ignored the scorching sun and happily went to the empty field to plant the sweet potato seedlings.
If these sweet potatoes really produce high yields and can fill stomachs as Princess Anle said, it would be a great thing for the Great Zhou.
After planting this bundle of sweet potato seedlings, the area of the land was less than one acre. The veteran farmer said with regret, "There are too few sweet potato seedlings. If there were more, we could plant more than ten acres first."
Tao Yuwei said after hearing this, "Don't worry, these sweet potato seedlings will cover the entire ground when they grow up. Then we can cut off the branches and continue planting."
When the farmers on the farm heard the good news, they became even more concerned.
When Tao Yuwei returned to the capital, it was already dark. However, when she passed the city gate, she heard bad news.
