Chapter 1970 The Significance of White Dragon City
At this moment, even if Nan Yan didn't fully believe it, she couldn't doubt it too much either.
That's why I ask this question.
Zhu Feng nodded and said, "Not bad."
“…”
"Moreover, I not only want to bring her here, but also plan to bring her back to Yan Country, back to the capital."
“…”
"Let's find an opportunity to have her enter the Imperial Hospital."
Nan Yan frowned again.
Originally, it made sense for Xue Yun to propose traveling; it also made sense for her to follow Zhu Feng to Shazhouwei to visit her sister.
But Zhu Feng wanted to take her back to the capital and let her enter the Imperial Hospital——
Does this even make sense?
Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then asked, "Why does the emperor treat her so well?"
Zhu Feng said, "Do you remember what I just told you? The Parthian envoy presented me with a map, hoping that I could open a port of trade in the northwestern border town."
Nan Yan said: "Of course I remember."
Zhu Feng said: "Choosing a city to open a port is extremely important."
“…”
"After all, this place is located on the border, and foreign trade is not just about business. Once the port is opened, we will face many complex situations in the future, as well as various interests and power struggles."
“…”
"By that time, the imperial court will have to divert its attention to manage these cities."
Nan Yan remained silent.
Although she didn't speak and couldn't understand the hardships involved, she still understood what Zhu Feng said.
I also understand that opening a port for trade is definitely not as simple as doing business.
Zhu Feng said, "If there is a city that can serve as a model for opening ports and opening trade centers, then the rest of the process will be much easier."
“…”
Nan Yan's eyes suddenly lit up.
She looked at Zhu Feng: "Your Majesty, what do you mean - White Dragon City?"
“…”
"The Emperor wants to obtain White Dragon City?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her and didn't answer, but his eyes said it all.
In fact, no matter who Xue Yun is and why there is the poison of the marrow cleansing flower in his body, putting all this aside, he already had that idea when he first entered Bailong City.
He wants to get White Dragon City.
This city is located at the border between the states of Neng and Yan. It is a border fortress with countless merchants coming and going. It is rich enough to rival a country. If this city can be obtained, it will be a huge help to the Yan state.
Moreover, it is not only about trade and money.
Zhu Feng said in a deep voice: "The geographical location of Bailong City is so important. If one day in the future, we go to war with the Neng Kingdom——"
Having said that, he stopped talking.
But Nan Yan already understood it completely.
She took a deep breath and murmured, "No wonder the emperor kept Ji San here and let him serve in the army, and didn't punish Xue Ling too severely."
“…”
"Before, I thought that the Emperor was only showing leniency to them because of the detoxification matter and because of his kindness."
Zhu Feng smiled faintly.
"You,"
He said, "You've been with me for such a long time, it's time for you to broaden your horizons."
“…”
"If one's focus is only on a person's life or death, or a person's honor or disgrace, success or failure, then one's vision is too narrow."
“…”
"You are the one I have chosen, the one who will create a prosperous world with me in the future."
“…”
"You need to broaden your horizons."
Hearing him say this, Nan Yan felt a little uneasy about herself caring about Xue Yun.
She said softly, "So, this is also the reason why the emperor tried to win over Xue Yun."
