Chapter 268 066: I want to go to sea (first update)

Emperor Chongming still did not attend the court meeting, but controlled the situation from behind. Princess Qianrong was waiting on the side. She looked at her father's face carefully, not knowing whether he was in favor or against this matter? If asked about her

Opinion, how should she respond without irritating the other person?

Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. She dare not be lost in thought for a moment, otherwise she will be doomed.

"Qianrong, what do you think?"

When she came, the eldest princess was not surprised that Emperor Chongming would ask her such a question, so she said, "I thought this was not a big deal. Father, please do the math. The imperial court ordered a steam exhauster from them, and they must first be able to deliver it.

Then the iron ore we paid them would have been used up to 70%, and in the final analysis, the imperial court took advantage."

Emperor Chongming just raised his eyelids and glanced at his daughter without saying anything else. Apparently he was weighing it in his mind.

In Yiyang City, Xie Jin handed the latest news to Chang Xi who was sitting aside, "You have muddied their waters even more. The court has been arguing about this recently."

Chang Xi raised his eyebrows. Instead of being scared, he was a little excited. "This is a good thing." Then he read the latest news in his hand carefully, and after a while he said, "They will agree to trade with us in this way.

Yes, from raw materials like iron ore to usable iron tools, there is a lot of consumption, and they will calculate this account."

Xie Jin took a deep look at Chang Xi. Her method was actually feasible, and once this hole was opened, future transactions would be established. It was far from just how much they wanted to control.

After all, the court has no money, and this is the key point.

Chang Xi said softly while eating breakfast, "I will make an appointment with Mr. Sun from the Ministry of Finance today to talk again. Although he is just a subordinate of the Ministry of Finance, he was sent to discuss this matter after all, so let him play more.

Make some difference." After a pause, he said, "The Eastern Minister from the Ministry of Industry seems to want to poach someone. Do you think the security of this courtyard should be strengthened?"

Xie Jin didn't pay attention to this problem. "The Ministry of Industry is really so powerful. They should take the lead in this business. There are more inactive officials in the court. It's not just Dongshilang who can change most of them."

It’s a matter of people’s work style.” After a pause, “The Ministry of Accounts and the Ministry of Work do not trust each other and refuse to allocate funds. Without money, it will be difficult to move forward.”

Chang Xi laughed immediately after hearing this. This was so heartbreaking. Fortunately, the East Minister was not here, otherwise he would not be able to eat breakfast.

As soon as she arrived to inspect the spinning workshop, she saw Dongli waiting for her. As soon as they met, she reported, "Ms. Chang, good news, Zhang Yingda will be released today."

Chang Xi was not surprised by the news. When she and Yuan Hao broke up on bad terms that day, she knew that Yuan Hao would not let the case drag on for too long. However, Chang Kui was miserable. He became the one to contain Chang Dadou and the Li family.

Yuan Hao would not let him escape from prison easily.

However, this is none of her business.

"Go and notify Sun and Lianzi, and then prepare the carriage to take Zhang Yingda out of prison."

Dongli responded immediately and hurried to make arrangements.

Chang Xi did not go to pick up Zhang Yingda in person, but arranged for his family to go there. She still handled various matters step by step. This was an itinerary that was scheduled early in the morning and it was not easy to cancel it at short notice.

When Zhang Yingda was released from prison, his hair and beard had grown very long. In fact, it was only more than half a month, but to him, it felt like he had been imprisoned for a lifetime. He blocked the dazzling light with his hands, and then he saw

Qing was waiting for his mother and sister, with tears streaming down his face unconsciously.

Zhang Lianzi ran over and hugged her brother and cried, "Brother, brother, it's great, you finally came out, and our family can finally be reunited..."

"Lotus." Zhang Yingda held his sister and stroked her head gently. He didn't kneel down until his mother, Mrs. Sun, came to him, "Mom, my son is unfilial, and I'm tired of worrying about me..."

"It's good to be safe." Ms. Sun was so happy that she kept wiping tears.

After the excitement of the reunion of the family of three had subsided, Dongli stepped forward and said, "Go back first. Mrs. Chang said that she will hold a dust-cleaning banquet for you. You will have a good life in the future."

Zhang Yingda wiped away his tears. In fact, he was a little disappointed when he didn't see Chang Xi coming to pick him up. But when he thought that Chang Xi had not given up on him, he couldn't help but gain hope. After all, he was in the business of selling vegetables.

In fact, it was a failure.

Sitting in the carriage, he looked at the scenery outside the window, blowing the hot early summer wind, and seemed very worried.

When Sun and Zhang Lianzi saw him like this, they couldn't help but feel a little worried, but they didn't know how to comfort him.

"Is Afa buried?"

Hearing this question, Zhang Lianzi thought of the dead Zhou Afa, and couldn't help crying again with sadness. Finally, amidst his brother's comfort, he said, "Thanks to Sister Chang, Brother Afa passed away with dignity, and he was buried."

In the mountains not far from the workshop, I will prepare sacrifices to worship with you tomorrow."

"That's good, that's good..." Zhang Yingda relaxed when he heard that his good brother was finally laid to rest. In order not to make his sister cry sadly, he suppressed the tears in his eyes.

Mrs. Sun didn't know the friendship between these three little ones in times of adversity, so she didn't have many feelings about Zhou Afa's death. She just hoped that her children wouldn't be sad about this matter for too long.

Returning to the yard behind the tea brick workshop, Mrs. Sun sprinkled the leaf water she had prepared on her son's body to remove bad luck, then stepped over the brazier, and then happily welcomed her son into the yard.

Zhang Yingda had lived here for a while, so he knew the layout of the place very well. He naturally went back to the room where he and Zhou Afa had stayed that day. The scenery was still the same, but the person had passed away. Looking at this scene, he

His shoulders couldn't help but slump, he couldn't help his good brother...

"What? A jail sentence has completely wiped out your energy?"

Hearing Chang Xi's voice, Zhang Yingda quickly wiped away his tears, turned around and saw Chang Xi, and he hurriedly said, "No..."

Chang Xi didn't quite believe what he said. For a young man of his age, he had to say farewell before he understood life and separation. Life was indeed cruel to him, but if he became depressed, then

It shouldn't be.

"Zhang Yingda, I still remember the scene when you chased my sedan at this time last year. There was light in your eyes at that time. I hope I can still see light in your eyes in the future. Do you understand?"

Zhang Yingda was stunned. Thinking of Chang Xi's cultivation and help to him, he knew that he could no longer be so depressed, so he said, "Sister Chang, don't worry, I will definitely cheer up, even for Afa's sake."

Go down."

"That's right." Chang Xi knew that after taking this step, Zhang Yingda had really grown up. "I'll give you three days to think about what you want to do. Then you can tell me your answer."

.”

Zhang Yingda nodded solemnly.

Chang Xi then turned around and left, not wasting time on enlightening others. After all, that was all she had to say. She had said both good and bad things, and the rest was up to him.

Zhang Yingda shaved off the beard on his face and felt refreshed. Under the leadership of his sister Zhang Lianzi, he first went to worship Zhou Afa, and then had a dust-cleansing feast for dinner.

In the next two days, he did not stay in the workshop, but walked around and looked around. His eyes became increasingly determined.

On the third day, he took the initiative to find Chang Xi and said, "I want to go to sea."
