The eldest princess didn't know what it would look like if Mr. Fu went crazy.
But she soon figured out the reason.
Fu Xiaoguan is the only prince of the Wu Dynasty, and is the son that Fu Daguan loves more than his own son.
There is no need for the Yu Dynasty to become enemies with the Wu Dynasty because of Fu Xiaoguan. Besides, at least for now, Fu Xiaoguan is still working wholeheartedly for the Yu Dynasty.
She poured a cup of tea for Queen Shang and said, "But it's better to let my brother know about this, otherwise..."
"Well, I'll tell His Majesty when he comes back."
The princess suddenly lowered her voice and leaned forward, "Aren't you worried that the Yu Dynasty will face an extremely powerful Wu Dynasty in the future?"
Empress Shang held the teacup, the covered bowl sliding gently along its edge. "What is there to worry about? He has already laid the economic foundation for the Yu Dynasty and has already planned its future development direction.
Besides, even if he returns to Wu Dynasty and ascends the throne, I am still his mother-in-law. What is he doing in Wu Dynasty? As his mother-in-law, can't I send someone to take a look? "
As she spoke, she took a sip of tea, set the cup down, and smiled again, "He once said that only through competition can progress be achieved... whether it's economic or military. He also mentioned opening up trade between countries, which is to create a stage for competition between nations."
"Perhaps with such competition, the Yu Dynasty will also be able to produce many outstanding talents... How can you see the rainbow without going through the storm? How can you reach the peak without exhausting your energy to climb?"
"So don't worry too much. What the Yu Dynasty needs to do now is to gather the experience of the Wofeng Dao. We can wait and see next year. In the twelfth year of the Xuanli calendar, we can promote the success of the Wofeng Dao to the other thirteen Daos."
The eldest princess said nothing more. She sipped her tea silently, thinking about the rice seeds that Fu Xiaoguan had produced, the sweet potatoes, and all his other things.
His contributions to the Yu Dynasty are obvious to all.
And his potential power is extremely terrifying!
I hope that my royal brother can be magnanimous enough to let him leave safely. From then on, the two countries will have friendly relations, which will be of great benefit to the Yu Dynasty.
But will the emperor really let the tiger go back to the mountain?
No, this kid Fu Xiaoguan is extremely loyal. He is not a tiger, he is the emperor's brother's son-in-law!
…
…
Emperor Xuan's good son-in-law Fu Xiaoguan did not know that Qin Chengye had left the Xishan Research Institute under Qin Bingzhong's advice. He did not know that this small matter had reached the ears of the emperor and actually alarmed the emperors of both the Yu Dynasty and the Wu Dynasty.
The fat man was naturally happy, thinking that it was a trap set by Fu Xiaoguan, but Emperor Xuan was a little angry, also thinking that it was a trap set by Fu Xiaoguan.
Emperor Xuan had already prepared himself for Fu Xiaoguan's return to the Wu Dynasty, but he was still very confused. He didn't know how to deal with Fu Xiaoguan's return.
It would be fine if he was just an ordinary boy, but he is not ordinary!
If such a person were to ascend the throne as emperor... to what heights would the vast Wu Dynasty develop under his control?
If he can easily handle a game, he can also easily handle a country!
How much will change when the entire country is in his hands?
Emperor Xuan couldn't sleep that night.
That night, Sima Che, the county magistrate of Ningsang County in Wofeng Road, was unable to sleep.
It was not because Fu Xiaoguan was about to arrive in Ningsang County, but because a workshop in Hongyeji caught fire!
The fire was not put out until the second half of the night, and it burned down Sima's Red Leaf Factory No. 1, causing extremely heavy losses.
Sima Che returned to the county government office at the hour of Mao, her face as cold as ice, which made the officials who came back with her feel extremely uneasy.
This female county magistrate is no simple matter!
She was the Ningsang County Magistrate, personally appointed by Earl Ding'an! She was the first female official in the world!
Of course, the ability of this county magistrate is obvious to all of them.
After she took office, she carried out drastic reforms in Ningsang County. She was the first woman in Qingzhou to implement household registration, measure land, implement household contract responsibility system, and demarcate industrial zones!
Her hand is iron-blooded and tough. During the previous recruitment incident of Hongye Factory No. 1, she went directly to the largest Zhang family in Hongye Group. In the Zhang family's mansion, she had an unpleasant conversation with the Zhang family's patriarch Zhang Pingju.
In the end, of course, she suppressed Zhang Pingju's arrogance, and Hongye Factory No. 1 successfully completed its recruitment - half of them were indigenous people and half were immigrants from the Yu Dynasty.
Now it seems that that conversation laid the seeds for the fire at Hongye Factory No. 1 today.
Of course, this is just speculation at the moment. The warden of the criminal department is still investigating the case with the detectives, and they have no clue yet.
Sima Che sat in the yamen with a frown on his face, and did not say a word for a long time. The other officials stood solemnly in the hall, not even daring to breathe.
After half a cup of tea, Sima Che raised his head and frowned, "This is a small matter, but I am making a big deal out of it. It's almost the end of the year, and there are several major issues that require your full attention..."
"First, we need to survey the road connecting Ningsang City to the provincial capital. We need to have a result by the end of the year. What route should be chosen? How much will it cost? How many workers will be needed, etc."
"Secondly, it's the land in the Baiwa Town Industrial Zone. It must be secured by the end of this month. The owner of Jinxiufang is eagerly waiting for it!"
"Third, there are too many native residents in Hongyeji. At least half of them must be relocated! I will personally write a petition to Lord Yan about this matter and ask him to transfer the immigrants from suitable places."
“…”
Sima Che was working tirelessly, and Fu Xiaoguan's convoy also set off from Xiangtan County and headed for Ningsang County.
Just yesterday, Fu Xiaoguan received three pieces of intelligence from the ant colony, one of which was about Wofeng Road.
Three fires occurred in Wofeng Road, one in a thousand-acre hemp field in Zhu County, Qizhou, and two textile workshops in Mo County and Shangchuan County, Qingzhou.
Zhu County is at least 600 miles away from Mo County, and Mo County is about 200 miles away from Shangchuan County. This seems to be an unrelated accidental incident, but Fu Xiaoguan smelled a scent of danger.
"Fires are prone to catching fire in autumn. Are you a little too nervous?"
Just now, Fu Xiaoguan ordered the ant colony to pay full attention to the major gathering places of the barbarians. Zhuo Dong thought this was an overreaction.
Fu Xiaoguan frowned slightly and shook his head, "I hope I'm just too nervous..."
He said this and suddenly changed the subject, "Have you been to the Six States of Beixiao?"
Zhuo Donglai was startled. "I went there once three years ago."
"Tell me what kind of place it is."
"Beixiao is located in the northern border of the Wu Dynasty and is divided into the Upper Three States and the Lower Three States. The Lower Three States are the source of the Nancang River, and the climatic conditions are extremely harsh. The Upper Three States are almost completely wilderness, becoming increasingly desolate as you go north, and finally extending to thousands of miles of yellow sand."
"...To put it simply, that place can be described in eight words: huge in area, small in population!"
Fu Xiaoguan nodded slightly, but still didn't understand what Fu Daguan meant in his reply letter yesterday.
