Chapter 559 One Batch After Another
Chapter 559 One Batch After Another
Wu Qingfeng shook his head, "Shao'an has no intention of vying for the throne; a leisurely life as a prince is what he desires."
Lin Chang'er made the decision, "Alright then, Jingzhe or Xiaolu, whoever is more suitable can go."
Wu Qingfeng paused, but ultimately had no objection. Then he frowned and said, "We don't have anyone."
Lin Chang'er: "..." Oh right! They have no one. Although the number of coastal defense personnel has increased significantly in the past six months, they must first guard the main camp before heading inland.
They wouldn't have nearly enough people, but, "We have money. Find an opportunity to meet with that guy from Bohai and see if there's anything to discuss."
But who the hell has someone else to do their work for?
So, Lin Chang'er's eyes darted around, and she asked him, "Is it possible with my uncle?"
Wu Qingfeng lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time.
Lin Chang'er nodded. "Understood. Here's what you'll do: first call Shao'an back, then try to probe the situation with Bohai."
This time, Wu Qingfeng didn't hesitate, "Okay!"
Lin Chang'er thought for a moment and then said, "Find another opportunity, and you can submit a memorial saying that the pirates are disturbing the people and that the people are living in constant fear. Please ask the higher authorities to send troops to suppress the pirates. I will also ask my godfather to speak with my cousin and ask him to send the memorial to the capital as soon as possible."
Wu Qingfeng raised an eyebrow. "The capital is too busy to spare any troops to move south."
Lin Chang'er continued, "At that time, I will have my cousin write a letter to recruit soldiers to suppress the bandits."
Wu Qingfeng added, "On the surface, we collect taxes according to regulations, but only we know how much we collect secretly."
Lin Chang'er snapped her fingers. "That's it."
Wu Qingfeng gave her a thumbs up. "That opportunity?"
Lin Chang'er picked up another shrimp, "Make a fake one before the end of the year."
Wu Qingfeng understood immediately. After the meal, the two of them were as calm and collected as if nothing had happened.
Lin Chang'er and Wu Qingfeng teased Yudian for a while before going out to relieve Sister-in-law Gu.
After the first batch of grain was unloaded, the two of them went back to their respective tasks, with Lin Chang'er continuing to focus on making money.
Wu Qingfeng was even busier, having to keep an eye on the transport fleet's movements, try to make contact with people in the Bohai Sea, secretly recruit people, and handle official business on the surface.
Since that day they parted, the two only met again when the Princess of Zhenbei arrived.
At that time, Lin Chang'er was in the study with Yu Dian'er doing the accounts, and Madam Wu and Aunt Xu were helping Gu Xiaolu and Li Qingning.
Just as they were busy at work, Liu Zi suddenly knocked on the door and announced from outside, "Master, Madam, Auntie has arrived."
"My sister has arrived?" Madam Wu suddenly stood up from her seat and was about to leave when she realized she was still holding the account book. She turned back to look at Lin Chang'er with a hint of embarrassment in her eyes.
Lin Chang'er put down the account book in her hand. "We should go and greet our distinguished guests together."
Gu Xiaolu, being sensible, stepped forward and took the account book from Madam Wu's hands, then handed it back to Lin Chang'er with both hands.
Lin Chang'er patted her head, "Good girl!"
Having said that, he picked up Raindrop, who was lounging in the cradle with her legs crossed, playing by herself, and said to everyone in the room, "Let's go!"
Princess Zhenbei's condition is not good. She was originally weakened in the northern border, and after returning to the capital, she was under constant pressure. Later, she finally became pregnant, but the child was lost.
Misfortune, like chives, kept coming around her, one crop after another.
This escape from the capital was fraught with danger. He dared not stop along the way, leaving him physically and mentally exhausted. By the time he reached Linshui Village, he was unconscious…
