The Princess of Northern Land

"I will definitely live up to the prince's great trust." Mei Hanqing replied several times in succession. They had just come from the capital and had not had time to do anything for King Ling, but King Ling had already prepared so much for them, and they were very grateful for it.

"Your Majesty, the imperial court has cut off the supply from the North. I wonder what your Majesty and Mr. Situ's plans are?" Mei Hanqing directly asked the doubts in his heart. A few of them are willing to give up the splendor and wealth in the capital and come to the North, certainly not to enjoy the happiness in the North. If the imperial court did not use taxes to replace military food and military pay, they would not be in a hurry to come.

Even if he wanted to come over, he would have to wait until he could do more planning for Chu Suifeng in the capital in a few years.

Yes, the officials sent by the court in front of him were the cronies Chu Suifeng secretly cultivated. The young civil and military champion Lang is, and the same is true for the aloof Mei Hanqing.

"Thank you for your support over the years, sir." Chu Suifeng looked at Mei Hanqing and thanked her sincerely.

"Back then, the empress was kind to Xianguan and the Mei family. Xiaguan once swore to the empress that she would definitely follow the prince at the risk of her life. The prince does not need to worry about the affairs of the Hanlin Academy. It won't take long for a group of people to come. When young people come to the Northland, these people have been tested repeatedly by Yan Zhao and Liu Feng, and they are all passionate people. When they come to the Northland, they will definitely be able to support the county governments everywhere." Mei Hanlin He looked at Chu Suifeng with respect in his eyes.

"I will also open some free academies in the north one after another. The free students must study civil and martial arts at the same time." Chu Suifeng said. "The affairs of the academy are also managed by Master Mei."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Mei Hanqing replied respectfully.

"You don't have to worry about military rations. Wheat, corn and rice have been grown in my village this year. In the coming year, they can be fully promoted in the north and there will be no shortage of food." Chu Suifeng added.

"Really, Your Majesty?" Mei Hanqing and others looked at each other and were all overjoyed.

What is missing most in Northland? The top priority is of course food. Since the prince is not worried, there must be a way to get food.

Their worries are unfounded. Yes, with the prince and Situ Gong in the north, how could they be stumped by the imperial court's conspiracy.

"Speaking of food, on the way to Xianguan, I met a group of businessmen who seemed to be from the Hou Mansion." Without any hesitation, Wu Jie expressed his doubts.

Chu Suifeng was slightly silent, and the room felt a little dull.

Mei Hanqing and others were not embarrassed. They knew that Chu Suifeng was thinking about the purchase and sale of grain in the Hou Mansion.

In the North, only the Li family can bear the title of Marquis Mansion.

The Li family is not just as simple as the Hou family, it also represents the maternal family of Prince Ling, and should be the prince's staunch supporter.

But the prince's reaction seemed to be unaware of the Li family's private buying and selling of grain.

"The Northland has lost the support of several big families, and the sale of grain is indeed more important. But I have thought of a perfect strategy, but the Li family did not mention it." The person who came was a close confidant, so naturally Chu Suifeng would not be interested in it. They're hiding something.

"Looking at the convoy, the amount of grain purchased by the Li family seems to be quite large." Yuan Yanzhao explained.

"No matter how many there are, they should have a source. I allow anyone to do business, but I don't allow anyone to become a profiteer based on their status." Chu Suifeng's voice was filled with murderous intent.

Mei Hanqing and others nodded slightly, with smiles on their faces. Food is the most important thing for the people. Food is the basis of people's survival, and it is also the thing that the superiors need to control most. As the prince's wife and supporters, the Li family actually sells large quantities of food. They should be punished!
