Once the Crown Prince Joins In

139: Isn’t this a slap in the face?

, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!

Su Xinyi had a wonderful idea, but it was difficult to implement it in practice.

First of all they have no one.

Again they have to get the customs clearance certificate.

Finally, we must ensure that we don’t lose our way on the grassland and have a detailed map.

King Rong looked at Su Xinyi, and after calming down, he said quietly: "You seem to have forgotten something. The Tatars came to rob us because they had no food. You must have traveled so hard to such a poor place. Can we get back the original value?"

Su Xinyi was scolded by King Rong, and then he thought about it seriously and said, "You are right, if there is nothing to grab, then the trip will be in vain."

King Rong rarely had the upper hand, and he said with a bit of pride on his face: "The reason why the Tatars went south to thresh the valleys so early this year is because the severe drought has caused the pastures to dry up, the cattle and sheep to starve to death, and the herdsmen cannot eat."

Su Xinyi nodded, "The prince said yes, but didn't they go south in previous years when their granaries were full?"

Rong Wang is confused, of course there is!

The two stabbed each other, and the outcome was a draw.

Why!

well!

The two of them squatted under the eaves and sighed together, it's too difficult, it's too difficult!

What Su Xinyi is worried about is that he has no one in his hands. No matter how ambitious you are, no one can help you.

King Rong's headache was the lack of food. Even if he went to rob it as a robber, he would find that his enemy was poorer than himself and his ambitions had not been realized. It would be too uncomfortable.

Su Xinyi thought for a long time and felt that he had to start from scratch. He first organized the caravan and saw if Mu Xing could take people to the south.

Su Xinyi looked at Prince Rong again, thought about it, and then said with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, I have a deal to discuss with you. See if you are interested."

King Rong was not very interested. He also thought that if he could make a contribution, he would show it to his father and brother that he was not a waste.

But why is it so difficult? new

"What kind of business? If you want to go, you can go, but I won't go." Prince Rong is not interested in doing business. Merchants are all low-level businesses. He, a majestic prince, can do this without making people laugh to death.

Su Xinyi knew he would say this, and simply said: "Okay, then I will do it myself. I want to form a caravan and trade with them with silk, tea and other things that the nobles on the grassland like from the south. The herdsmen on the grassland are living a hard life, but no matter how hard it is, how can the descendants and nobles of the royal families of all tribes suffer? If the caravan can open up this trade route, it can slowly draw a map, find out the true and false status of the enemy, and make preparations for the army. I am a pioneer officer exploring the road. Moreover, I can also make money from the enemy. I think this thing is feasible. Since the prince is not interested, I will do it myself. "

"Wait a minute!" King Rong looked at Su Xinyi and rolled his eyes. If this is the case, it seems that it is not impossible. Earn the enemy's money and find out the enemy's strength. If you can really draw the map of each tribe, this It's a great achievement. "Are you serious, you're not lying to me?"

"What's so easy to deceive about this kind of thing? Nowadays, the mutual trade between Southern Qi and Tatar tribes has been closed for many years, but there are still merchants secretly doing business with Tatar tribes and other tribes. We are just taking this kind of behavior from the secret Just put it on the surface and get permission from the court." Su Xinyi said seriously.

"The mutual market has been closed. This is a court order. It cannot be changed overnight. How could I agree to you to do such a thing." King Rong frowned and said.

"Of course I can't. The prince is here."

King Rong knew that Su Xinyi would be up to no good if she smiled. He looked at her and asked, "You said you grew up in the countryside. How come you know this kind of thing?"

"There are thousands of grains of millet in the book, there is a house of gold in the book, and there are many chariots and horses in the book. If a man follows his life's ambition, he will read the Six Classics diligently in front of the window."

King Rong:......

Isn't this just scolding him that the book is a good thing, but it's a pity that you have no brain!

He is not convinced!

He also studied hard for ten years. If he dared to be lazy and was reported to his father by his husband, he would inevitably be punished. He had a very deep memory of this. Therefore, he is really serious about reading. Why can't he read such things like Su Xinyi?

It's definitely not that he hasn't read enough books, it must be that Su Xinyi has read too much. new

But that's not possible. Su Xinyi has to practice martial arts, study, and make a living. How can he be so versatile?

He was not convinced by Su Xinyi, but he remembered that Su Chun was also a talented person back then. He could memorize the book once when others read it ten times. Others did not have enough arm strength to draw a bow, so he would practice arm strength with stones tied to his wrists every day, but he could easily do it. Draw your strong bow.

Although King Rong had never seen it with his own eyes, his father would not lie to others.

Is Su Xinyi really just like her father, a genius?

This is heartbreaking!

"How many times can you memorize a book after reading it?"

When Su Xinyi heard what King Rong said, she turned her head and looked at him. As soon as she rolled her eyes, she knew that he must be suspicious. She told him the truth very calmly, "As little as once or twice, as many as three or five times."

King Rong covered his heart, he might as well not ask!

It takes others at least ten days and a half to memorize a book, and as long as one or two months. For a heavy classic, it takes several months. People like Su Xinyi who save time like this can read a lot more than him. Isn’t this what books should be?

"What books do you like to read?" Wang Rong wanted to know her reading list. After all, she knew that things were complicated and messy.

"Read what you can. After all, it's not easy for us to buy books in the countryside. We can read whatever we can buy."

King Rong wiped his face, but he couldn't compare. The books in his study were all checked, and not all books could be read by him.

Both of them were silent for a moment.

Su Xinyi remembered that in her previous life, she actually didn't read many books when she was in the countryside, because she spent a lot of time practicing martial arts and hunting in the mountains to make a living. The remaining time could only pick up a book and read a few times, and she said It is also true that the books in the countryside are really limited. It is not easy to buy one. You have to walk a long way. There are everything for sale in the market, but there are very few people selling books.

She later read a lot of books. After entering the Pingjing County Prince's Palace, she had nothing to do and always wanted to have some entertainment. And at that time, she really wanted to be a lady and not lose her father's face, so she studied hard. Indeed, she read a lot of books in those years. It seems that if you memorize the poems and words of Wen Tao and Wu Lue and eat them in your stomach, you will become a talented woman.

King Rong looked at Su Xinyi with a sullen face and said nothing. He didn't know what he was thinking. There was a trace of emotion in his eyes that he couldn't understand. He felt a little guilty for no reason. He seemed to have touched someone else's sadness.

He stood up immediately, "The caravan's matter is not a trivial matter. I'm going to find out if it can be done. You wait for my news."

King Rong left in a hurry. Su Xinyi looked up at his back and smiled softly. King Rong in this life was more lovable than in his previous life.

So I have to find something for him to do, so as not to always focus on His Highness's position as Crown Prince.

King Rong was worried after he left the house. His father was far away in the capital, and the commander of the Yulin Guards would definitely not dare to make the decision. It would take time to send letters to the capital to ask for instructions. He found that the person who might make the decision now was actually the prince!

King Rong hesitated. If he went to find the prince, wouldn't it mean that he was inferior to his elder brother?

This slap came to my own face!

King Rong hesitated, should he go or not?

Su Xinyi didn't know what King Rong was struggling with. She was waiting for Mu Xing to come back. The eldest brother said that Mu Xing was a step late, so it should be almost done now.

While she was waiting, she was not idle. She took the small pickled fish she made to her sister-in-law Ying's house.

These small fish were caught from the water when watering the fields. There weren't many of them, just a dozen or so as big as a palm. She didn't want to eat them, so she salted them and prepared them as favors.

After wrapping it in linen so that no one else could see what it was, she knocked on Sister-in-law Ying's door.

Sister-in-law Ying happens to be at home. Their land is in a better location and has not suffered any disasters, so they don't have to go out to replant.

Seeing Su Xinyi, Sister-in-law Ying welcomed her in with great enthusiasm and said with a smile: "Why are you here, sister Xinyi? You are already busy in the fields?"

"I'm done. This is a small fish I caught while watering the ground. I made some pickled fish and sent two to my sister-in-law to taste." Su Xinyi said with a smile.

Sister-in-law Ying hurriedly declined. It's not easy to eat meat these days. How can she accept other people's things? "Look at how thin you are. Take it back and make up for it yourself."

Su Xinyi put the fish on the table and said with a smile: "I still have some, it's just a little extra for the children. Sister-in-law, don't be humble, otherwise I won't dare to visit your house in the future."

Sister-in-law Ying was angry and laughing. She brought out a cup of hot water, sprinkled some sugar in it, put it in front of Su Xinyi and said, "Drink some water, then I won't be polite to you. The weather this year doesn't count. Well, there are fewer and fewer caravans going to Yulinwei, it’s getting harder and harder to buy things, and everyone’s life is difficult.”

Su Xinyi nodded, looked at Sister-in-law Ying and asked, "Sister-in-law, are there any restrictions on the caravan arriving at Yulin Guard?"

"No." Sister-in-law Ying waved her hand, "No one is willing to come without control, and if we add more terms and conditions, no one will come. Our place is too far away, the people from the caravan said so , it takes too much time to go back and forth and you can’t make much money. It’s hard work and you don’t make money, so who is willing to run away.”

Listening to Sister-in-law Ying sighing, Su Xinyi knew that this was true. Businessmen pursue profits, and without profit, who would be willing to risk losing money to do business.

She took a sip of water and tasted the sweet taste. She looked up at Sister-in-law Ying and chuckled. She was coaxing her like a child.

Su Xinyi put down the bowl, thought for a while and asked: "Did Yulin Guard think of any other way?"

"I think about it, why don't I want to, but it doesn't have much effect. The main reason is that we don't have anything good here to exchange with others. Others come with full loads of things and have to go back empty. The caravans who have been here are not willing to come again. .”

Su Xinyi thought thoughtfully. It seemed that Yulinwei did not have enough benefits to attract the caravan.

The Northland is desolate and is at war with the Tatars all year round, so there are indeed few business opportunities. She used to go to the market to buy things in the countryside, and she had to carry the prey to exchange for some copper coins to use at home. Whoever goes to the market is not to exchange things, exchange what is not used, and exchange what is useful.

Come and go...

Something flashed in Su Xinyi's mind, but it was too fast and she didn't catch it. There should be a way.
