Chapter 261 Sucheng
Leaving felt a bit abrupt.
Yun Zhuan ate and drank all along the way, and there was no trace of the forbearance and timidity that he had shown with the two brothers in Kuizhou before.
She has always been free and has been pursuing her own freedom throughout her life.
She wanted to break free from this shackle in the past, but now she feels that her family is no longer a shackle to her, but another manifestation of family affection.
For Yun Zhuan, this was exactly what she needed.
Changchun asked softly:
"Your Majesty, will your behavior make the people of Gongyi's family suspicious of us?"
If you are suspicious, then be suspicious. What else can you do?
Yun Zhuan just treated those people as a game and let them do whatever they wanted.
No one can control what she does or how she enjoys herself.
"Has my sister sent any letter?" Yun Ju'an asked. When she pretended to leave Nanzhao, she sent a letter to her sister. If there was anything, she could just send a pigeon letter.
Changchun and Changdong are both responsible for raising and teaching the pigeons in each base how to become qualified carrier pigeons.
Relying on carrier pigeons, people from far away are gathered together, just like a dense big net, catching all the people who are the targets of the mission, leaving no one a chance to breathe!
Changdong blew a whistle, and the pigeons hovering around gathered around him. Changdong then checked one by one to see which pigeon had the letter on its feet.
There was indeed a pigeon with a letter on its foot, tied with a red ribbon.
Chang Dong picked it up and read through it himself first, then told Yun Zhuan what he knew:
"Your Majesty, Lord Yun said it was a success!"
The matter of slave transformation was also something Yun Fushang had told Yun Zhuan about when she discovered the clues earlier.
After Yun Ju'an took it, he found that the handwriting was indeed somewhat different from that of his sister. This letter might have been written by a ghostwriter.
But why is it a ghostwriter?
Yun Zhuan's eyes deepened slightly: "Changqiu, tell the people in Qingzhou to help me keep a close eye on Lord Yun."
How come it became impossible for her to open her heart to her own sister and she could only keep it a secret?
She was a little unhappy.
But it doesn’t matter, my sister will always favor her!
Thinking of this, Yun Zhuan felt a little more at ease:
"The slave uprising..."
Chang Xia immediately replied:
"Your Majesty, originally, you promised Lord Yun that you would deal leniently with him, and that you would also make the slavery issue more lenient for this reason!"
Yes, at that time, Yun Zhuan wanted to change generational slavery to two generations of slavery, and the third generation would automatically escape slavery. This would also facilitate the development of Nanzhao.
Besides, the men of Nanzhao are not weak. Maybe if this matter is put on the agenda as a national priority.
In this way, the people of Nanzhao will be united, and there is no need to be afraid of the explanation, as other forks will emerge!
Yun Zhuan did not respond immediately. She was wondering whether her sister's change in attitude had something to do with other people.
She said thoughtfully, "Let's put this matter aside for now."
After all, she was not the one who was anxious. Yun Ju'an also really wanted to see who was behind this.
The group was traveling on the official road of Northern Chu. There were many poor people on the road. Although Yun Ju'an was not that kind-hearted, he could not stand idly by. He asked the maid beside him to take some things over. Then, the men and women who accepted the kindness knelt down one after another and kowtowed to Yun Ju'an to express their gratitude.
When the people no longer trust their dynasty, it is not because of their own faults, but because of the dynasty's failure.
Northern Chu did not pay attention to its own people. Although there were many loyal ministers in the court who ruled the world together with the Northern Chu emperor, this did not affect their loss of popular support.
Ministers only work for their kings, not for the people!
Yun Zhuan shook his head. The existence of the humerus was far inferior to what the people wanted.
"Let's go. All we can do is support a wise king." Yun Ju'an said softly.
If she was originally like this because she couldn't stand Bei Chu, now it would be better to say that she sympathizes with the people living in Bei Chu.
They are controlled by the system and the aristocratic families.
Perhaps in this life, they just want to be an honest person and live a peaceful and stable life. Yun Ju'an withdrew his thoughts.
Until your car drives to a new place.
The imperial capital of Northern Chu - Sucheng.
Sucheng is indeed more prosperous and larger than other places, and there are people at the door to check whether anyone has brought anything bad into the city.
"How does it compare to Yingdu?" Yun Zhuan calmed down and said these words without any reason.
Chang Dong opened his mouth, but then closed it sadly: "Compared to Yingdu, it is more prosperous!"
Yun Zhuan was thoughtful, but not angry:
"Then why is Yingdu not as prosperous as Sucheng?"
Changchun responded very quickly: "Northern Chu has good geographical conditions, and will not ignore the merchant class. Foreign trade is also very obvious. It is precisely because of the increase in merchants that the development of this imperial city can be promoted.
The existence of many markets can actually, in some ways, promote employment for people in the imperial city or outsiders.
"Let's go around and take a look. Let's all learn something!" Yun Ju'an smiled wickedly, "Take the essence and discard the dross!"
The success of this system was naturally due to the support of ministers and kings.
Chang Dong was obedient and just kept mumbling to herself. Chang Xia asked her what she was mumbling and Chang Dong answered honestly:
"I'm thinking about the layout of Sucheng. I'm going to find a master to improve it and then use it in Yingdu!"
Yun Ju'an rubbed his chin with his hand and said, "If that's the case, it's not a bad idea. Didn't Jiang Shinian go to Yuan State? By then, it would be enough to link the two countries' businesses together."
The main reason was that she did have some hatred towards the Emperor of Northern Chu, so she had to wait until Beimen Que came to power before discussing the business dealings between Nanzhao and Northern Chu.
"Those shops look good. Do you want to try them?" Yun Ju'an asked.
The master and his servant, a group of five, headed towards the tavern in a mighty manner.
"What's the signature dish?" Yun Zhuan squinted his eyes carefully. "Spicy and sour spareribs?"
Originally, Yun Zhuan only liked to eat sweet and sour dishes, but recently he likes spicy food. I don’t know why. It is said that what you like to eat is different from your body’s internal organs.
I like spicy food recently, but I’m not sure what it is.
"There are other dishes, such as stir-fried pork with chili pepper and ginger, which is very refreshing, and pork elbow with marinated sauce, which seem to be the main dishes? There are also some soup bowls, such as shrimp and seaweed soup, corn and pork ribs soup, which seem to be your Majesty's favorites?"
Yun Zhuan likes to eat young ginger, but doesn't like old ginger.
