Chapter 480 He Wants to Spread the Message

Zhou Shuren sent Zhezi away, and soon everyone knew the news. Zhezi, this means he is going to use a big move.

Zhou Shuren drank a bellyful of strong tea and felt drowsy. His eyelids were drooping and he had no energy at all. He yawned whenever anyone came to test him.

Lord Wang was very nervous, as he still couldn't keep up with Lord Zhou's thinking. He was still thinking about making trouble for the Min family, but Lord Zhou came up and complained. Lord Wang was convinced.

At the Min Mansion, Liu sent Qi away and swept the teacups. Yesterday she thought that the Zhou family would be angry, but she didn't expect that Yang would come and confirm the Min family's plan. Bah, what do you mean by being frightened? She was the one who was frightened!

When the old man came back last night, he pushed the blame onto her, thought she was too impatient, and even got mad at her, even though we had clearly discussed the matter.

And there was that damn Qi family, who came to ridicule her so early in the morning. Just thinking about it made her so angry.

Mrs. Liu couldn't swallow this humiliation. There was also the county lord. The Bai family's plan yesterday failed. The county lord was trying to protect Miss Zhou. He also had his eyes on Mr. Zhou. Mrs. Liu sneered. Since the Min family didn't have a marriage alliance, no one wanted it.

Zhulan ignored the calculations outside. She was listening to the information that Butler Ding had found out. Ever since she knew that the county lord had a fishing boat, she had been very interested. Although marine aquaculture was dangerous, the profit was also quite large. There were also fishing boats that could catch sea bass, grouper, etc. Zhulan started to salivate at the thought. Yes, there were also crabs.

So we asked Steward Ding to inquire about the fishing villages on the coast. The fishing villages have been passed down from generation to generation and have their own way of surviving.

Pinggang has developed, and several small ports have been added in several states along the coastline. Zhulan values ​​these places because of their convenient transportation and large flow of people. She will not choose a place with inconvenient transportation. Seafood is easy to spoil, so she will not choose it even if the seafood is abundant.

Zhulan kept writing while thinking. She first drew a simple map and circled a few places. Then she wrote "ice caves". Fishing at sea requires a lot of ice. There is no other way. If there is no ice to store the fish, they will be spoiled.

So an ice cellar is necessary, and a large one at that. Zhulan calculated the expenses in her mind. An ordinary fishing boat is not expensive, but if you want to make a lot of money, a fishing boat will be expensive. Zhulan pursed her lips. It would be fine if her son did not get married, but it was a pity that her son had to get married.

So we can only contract the fishery, but we can dig the ice cellar first.

Zhulan took action as soon as she thought about it. She gave some money to the eldest brother and housekeeper Ding, and asked them to take a boat and go there quickly and come back quickly. A round trip would take about half a month. They would first contract the fishery and directly hire fishermen. This would be their plan for this year.

In the afternoon, Boss Zhou left with Butler Ding in a very low profile. Fortunately, everyone's attention was on Zhou Shuren's business in Beijing.

The letter Zhou Shuren sent was sent to the capital by express horse. It arrived shortly after the court session ended.

The emperor pointed at the letter without reading it. He had finally called the two elders here today, and there was such a surprise. He had been thinking about how Zhou Shuren would fight back yesterday. He couldn't say that he completely understood Zhou Shuren, but he knew about 70% that this man was a bit protective of his own people.

The second prince, the hair on Zhang Jingyang's back stood up. In the past, he wished that his father would keep him, but now he really didn't want to. He couldn't stand to see the stupid things the Min family did. He didn't need to think too much to know why his father kept him.

The second prince glanced at the folded paper and swallowed his saliva. He had no idea what that bastard Zhou Shuren had written. He felt a little numb on his scalp.

The emperor handed over the folded paper and said, "Don't look at it. I'll give it to you directly."

The second prince knelt down immediately, his head almost touching the floor tiles, "I dare not."

The prince felt relieved when listening to the sound of his knees hitting the floor tiles. His second child had been making too many small movements recently.

The emperor curled his lips in his heart. He really wanted to show it to the second brother and had no intention of teasing him. He was still waiting for the second brother's shocked expression after seeing it. Well, there has been too little fun lately. Glancing at the unshakable prince, the emperor had a wooden face. This kid only had 50% of his ability.

The emperor stopped teasing the second son and flipped through the memorial. He was also quite curious, and the more he read, the brighter his eyes became. This memorial was written in detail. Although the starting point was for the security of the capital, some minor regulations really blocked the two maritime departments and weakened their power a lot. What's more, the most important thing is that he now has a reason to send people over there openly or secretly, and the entry and exit are strictly controlled and checkpoints are set up, so the greedy silver cannot be smuggled out.

The emperor handed it to the prince, "Take a look."

The second prince, "......."

They are both sons and the difference is too great. He thought his father would ask the crown prince later, but he ended up liking it himself and casually gave it to the crown prince after reading it. The crown prince actually dared to accept it!

The second prince reflected on himself, was he too timid? In fact, he could be a little braver.

After the Crown Prince saw it, he felt that Lord Zhou had not only blocked the maritime affairs, but also completely completed his father's big net. This time it was like catching a turtle in a jar, and he had to wait for the right time and no one could escape.

The prince thought that when he ascended the throne, he didn't know if there would be anyone who could cooperate with him, and he envied his father.

The emperor was in a very good mood, especially when he looked at the kneeling second son. The second son's subordinates would not do anything stupid. He estimated that Zhou Shuren would have to wait for a few days to send it over. Did he really think he didn't know what Zhou Shuren was busy with recently? After reading the news sent by the spies, Zhou Shuren didn't sleep all night. Zhou Shuren's potential was huge.

The second prince felt his father's gaze and his heart skipped a beat. What on earth did Lord Zhou do? He was really afraid that Lord Zhou would not play by the rules!

The emperor waved his hand, "Second brother, stop kneeling. Yes, Prince, show your brother."

The Crown Prince gave the Second Prince a fold when he just raised his head and was about to stand up. The Second Prince was scolding him on purpose. Well, just kneel down and watch. After watching it, my heart aches.

The emperor curled his lips and said, "The second son should stay in the palace today."

The second prince, "......."

My father must have done it on purpose. It would be better not to let him know. At least he won’t be so anxious about sending the news out!

The emperor was also quick and summoned his ministers to discuss the matter. As Zhou Shuren's memorial was very detailed, it was quickly finalized and all that was left was to wait until the next morning court session.

The emperor smiled and said to the second son, whose back was the same, "Stay with father tonight!"

The second prince, "......."

No, he didn't want to. Not to mention creating hatred, he wanted to go back and deliver the message!
