The news that the Sixth Prince Xuan Tianfeng was going to open a school in Ji'an County spread quickly. Of course, it was only because Feng Yuheng deliberately arranged that the news spread so quickly. This time, the news spread not only in Ji'an County, nor only in Yuzhou, but she even publicized it throughout the entire Yuntian Prefecture. The advantage of this kind of publicity is that the prince opening a school is unprecedented in the history of Dashun, and the Sixth Prince, who has always been famous for his knowledge and helped Dashun to compile the Siku Quanshu, can worship under Xuan Tianfeng, which is a family honor! Even some wealthy families are thinking that, let alone the Sixth Prince is a great scholar, even if he can't do anything, as long as he can get along with the princes and be familiar with them, it is also a matter of supreme honor, and it is very decent to say it out.
As a result, the whole Yuntian Prefecture was in an uproar. Regardless of whether the school had been built or not, people brought their children to Ji'an County, and even scholars came here because of its reputation. For a time, the only two inns in Ji'an County were fully occupied, and the innkeeper was so happy that he secretly burned incense in the middle of the night, thanking himself for not giving up the great business prospects of Ji'an County because of the few hundred taels of money to buy the land deed. This county not only has a princess, but also a prince. The future development prospects are unlimited. This Ji'an County is going to be great!
Ji'an County was small, and only two inns were not enough to accommodate everyone. Soon after, all the inns in Yuzhou were booked by these people. Everyone was talking about the Sixth Prince opening a school, and they were very interested in the new look of Ji'an County. Some wealthy families even started wandering the streets of the county during the day, looking for business opportunities to see if they could join in.
Feng Yuheng was very happy and welcomed this. Although Ji'an County was small, if the uncultivated wasteland around it was counted, it would not be as big as Yuzhou, but half of it would be enough. In the past, there were few people in the county, and everyone lived in a concentrated area. No one cultivated or lived in the wasteland outside. She had seen that the wasteland was not suitable for planting, but it was no problem to build houses and shops. More and more people wanted to live in Ji'an County, and the housing prices in the county soared, which made her see unlimited business opportunities.
Feng Yuheng never denied that she was quite greedy for money. No one would not be tempted by money. She always felt that nothing was reliable. Only saving more money was the most reliable. In this way, no matter what time it was, she would have money in her hands and live comfortably. But now, apart from living comfortably, the war in the southern border was what occupied her most of her mind.
Sometimes it's unbalanced just to think about it! Feng Yuheng often sighed that the chaos caused by the Eighth Prince should be settled by Xuan Tianming. Is it his job? But if he doesn't settle it, the Southern Territory will be in chaos. Ancient Shu and those small countries in the desert are not fools. If Dashun fails to send troops to suppress it, they are likely to take advantage of it. By then, the war will develop out of control, and the victims will be the common people.
If the city center is not big enough to accommodate people, then we expand the city center and bring the outer areas in. The first ring road will be expanded to the second ring road, the second ring road will be expanded to the third ring road, and the third ring road will be expanded to the fourth ring road. At first, we didn’t know how many ring roads we could reach…
Feng Yuheng is planning to do this now. She told Qian Fengshou about these things, and Qian Fengshou agreed and promised to help with all his strength. With Qian Fengshou's help, she doesn't have to worry too much. Anyway, Ji'an County is close to Yuzhou. If this side develops, Yuzhou will also prosper. The two even agreed to renovate the small road connecting Yuzhou and Ji'an County to make it more convenient for people to travel between the two places. After all, Ji'an County has limited space, and there are still many people who need to live in Yuzhou. This is a win-win situation.
With Feng Yuheng here, Qian Fengshou feels more confident, not to mention that there is a god like the Sixth Prince here, who is a real prince! As an official sent out, Qian Fengshou rarely comes into contact with big figures like the prince, so he is still very excited. In addition, he knows the relationship between Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianming. His legitimate son Qian Li is the deputy general under Xuan Tianming. The two of them are considered a family. He and Feng Yuheng have done a good job of logistics here, and can also help their son.
The Sixth Prince Xuan Tianfeng turned a blind eye to Feng Yuheng's use of his name to vigorously develop Ji'an County. He didn't have much business sense, and he couldn't see the tricks in it, nor did he want to see it. He only knew that everything Feng Yuheng did seemed to be vigorous and energetic, not to mention that he made money to prepare military supplies, but it didn't go into his own pocket, which raised his realm to more than one level. This was the first time he lived in such an environment. Watching the school being built day by day, Xuan Tianfeng was full of endless expectations for Ji'an County.
Everything was going on in full swing at Feng Yuheng's place, and just at the beginning of February, Lv Yan died in Kyoto. It was a coincidence that the day Lv Yan died was the day Xuan Tianming left the capital. The Lv family was afraid of violating a taboo, so they didn't dare to announce the death, and only announced Lv Yan's death two days later.
After three days of mourning, the entire Lu family was immersed in grief. Mrs. Ge was the saddest among them. Of the three daughters of the Lu family, only Lu Yan was her biological daughter. She had high hopes for this daughter, but she did not expect that it was this expectation that harmed Lu Yan and caused her to die at a young age.
Lu Yao died, the Lu family went bankrupt, and now Lu Yan is gone too. Lu Song was at a loss for a moment and wanted to resign and return home. But the Lu family couldn't accept this. They lost two daughters. If we say that the first one, Lu Yao, was her own fault, the Lu family also had some responsibility. But what about Lu Yan this time?
The Lu family knew that this was a murder, but it actually involved the queen who had always been peaceful, which made them a little confused. But no matter what, they must not think about the Eighth Prince anymore, but they wanted to seek refuge with Jiuchizi, but they couldn't find an opportunity for a while. Lu Song thought that he still had a fairy-like daughter raised in seclusion. Although she had a hidden illness, the current situation of the Lu family had to put some effort on this daughter.
After everything in Ji'an County was back on track, Feng Yuheng finally calmed down and wrote a letter to Xuan Tianming, explaining the situation on her side and focusing on the arrival of the Sixth Prince. In the letter sent by the flying eagle sent by Xuan Tiange before, she knew that Xuan Tianming had already led his troops to the South Realm and was on the way now, but she didn't know if the letter could be delivered to him.
She asked Ban Zou: "When the army is on the march, can the messages sent by eagles be accurate? She was a little skeptical about the ancient communication." It was the hour of Xu, which was already dark in ancient times. She sat by the pond in her own courtyard of the new princess's mansion, feeding the fish and talking to Ban Zou, throwing handfuls of fish food into the pond, making the little fishes' bellies round.
Ban Zou looked at the fish food in her hand with disdain, and then answered her: "Our eagles are all specially trained. They are not as unreliable as you think. They are much better than humans, and they are not comparable to ordinary pigeons."
"Oh, so that's it!" Feng Yuheng was relieved a little. Although she didn't know what the process of training a flying eagle was, since Ban Zou said so, there must be no problem. She no longer worried about whether the letter could arrive, but instead felt impressed by the mansion left by the Teng family: "The Teng family really knows how to enjoy life! This mansion is more magnificent than the princess's mansion in our capital. Fortunately, Xiangrong and the Sixth Prince are here, otherwise it would feel a bit empty if I lived alone. Even with them, most of the courtyard is still empty. It feels wasteful just thinking about it."
"Even if it's a waste, you can't recruit more people into the mansion." Ban Zou said seriously, "It's fine for the Third Miss Feng and the Sixth Prince, but don't even think about moving outsiders in. The court handles county affairs, and this is a private residence."
Feng Yuheng nodded, "Of course, of course. At most, we can hire more servants and have more people walking around in the mansion, so that it won't be so empty. But I'm afraid I won't be able to stay here for long!" She sighed, "In two months at most, I'll have to go to the southern border." She felt a little disappointed, because she thought that her birthday would be coming in two months. She still remembered that three years ago, when Madam Zhou came to the Feng Mansion to give the betrothal gifts, she grabbed her hand and said "be patient for another three years". Now that the three-year deadline is coming, she no longer has to endure the Feng Mansion, but she probably won't be able to wait for the wedding date as promised.
It's not that she hates to get married. For Feng Yuheng, fifteen is not the right age to get married. But she is not a fifteen-year-old soul after all. The relationship between her and Xuan Tianming has been a natural one for a long time. She really hopes to get married soon, so that she can have a legitimate status and walk hand in hand with her. It will be much more convenient than before. Unfortunately, these are not what she wants. There are always too many interferences in life. When the war in the south started, she didn't know how many years it would drag on.
She was feeling a little lonely, and Ban Zou could see it. Although he didn't know what she was thinking, he was tactful enough not to interrupt her. He stood by and watched Feng Yuheng feeding the fish. Wang Chuan Huang Quan also stood there, watching the fish become so full that they didn't want to eat any more. Finally, Ban Zou couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Can you stop feeding?" Then, before Feng Yuheng could reply, he suddenly said, "The Sixth Prince is coming."
"Hmm?" Feng Yuheng turned her head and saw Xuan Tianfeng in a blue shirt standing at the door of her courtyard. There was originally a grape rack there. It was not the season yet, so the grapes were not ripe, but the climate in the southwest was good, so there were a lot of green leaves. "Sixth brother." She took the initiative to greet him, "Why are you standing there? Come and sit!" She said to sit, but there was no place to sit. She sat on the stone fence beside the pond.
Xuan Tianfeng didn't have the same formalities as the royal children. Feng Yuheng asked him to come over and sit, so he walked over calmly and sat opposite Feng Yuheng, also on the stone fence. Wang Chuan went to make hot tea for the two of them, and Huang Quan also brought a few small plates of snacks and placed them between the two of them. Seeing that Xuan Tianfeng didn't look like he would leave after a few words, Ban Zou quietly retreated to the dark, leaving only Wang Chuan and Huang Quan to wait on the side. However, the secret guard kept complaining in secret, and scolded the Sixth Prince countless times...
