Chapter 213 Wu Yunwan left the North Country in a hurry
After hearing Lu Chen's words, the corners of Wu Yunwan's mouth raised slightly, and a smile appeared on her face.
Lu Chen really got it right.
She did plan to use what Lu Chen said just now as an excuse.
Wu Yunwan then said: "Master Chen is right. Our Qianhai Chamber of Commerce is indeed very optimistic about the commercial potential of Beiguo and the commercial value of the products manufactured by Beiwangfu."
"Of course, these are not the most important. The most important thing is the products made by Beiwangfu. Our eldest princess also uses them, and she likes them very much."
"Because of this, we want to cooperate with Tingyulou to sell products from the North to the Dawu Dynasty."
Lu Chen said: "In that case, I wish us a happy cooperation."
"As for the details of the cooperation, please let Miss Qian discuss it with the deputy landlord of our Tingyu Tower. I have something else to do, so I will leave first."
"When Miss Qian is in Beiguo, if you have any needs, you can contact us at Tingyulou. We will try our best to meet Miss Qian's needs."
Wu Yunwan smiled slightly and said gently: "Thank you, Mr. Chen."
Lu Chen said with a smile: "You're welcome. After all, we will be partners from now on. When Miss Qian comes to Daxia, we Tingyulou will naturally treat her well."
Having said this, Lu Chen stood up and prepared to leave, "Miss Qian, let's do this for today."
Wu Yunwan also stood up immediately, "Master Chen, walk slowly."
Lu Chen nodded slightly, turned around and left the private room without saying anything more.
Although Lu Chen left, Wang Qingci did not leave. Lu Chen just came to show his face. As the master behind Tingyu Tower, he naturally did not need to participate in the specific negotiations of business cooperation. After all, Qian Hai Chamber of Commerce was here. Not their president.
Wu Yunwan is nominally only the daughter of the president of the Qianhai Chamber of Commerce. She is not the president of the Qianhai Chamber of Commerce, and her rank is lower than that of the landlord of Tingyu Tower. Therefore, the reception of Wu Yunwan is left to Wang Qingci. Just do it as the deputy poster above, Lu Chen just needs to show his attitude.
After Lu Chen left, Wu Yunwan and Wang Qingci finalized the details of the cooperation and established a new chamber of commerce called "Tinghai". This chamber of commerce was mainly responsible for doing business within the territory of the Dawu Dynasty. The business of other dynasties was not allowed. It is under the management of Tingting Maritime Chamber of Commerce.
After the cooperation was officially confirmed, the two parties identified two people to manage the Tinghai Chamber of Commerce. Wu Yunwan made some concessions in managing the Chamber of Commerce, letting the person appointed by Tingyulou be the president of the Chamber of Commerce, while they, Qianhai Chamber of Commerce Appoint someone to be the vice president.
After everything was discussed, the sky had completely darkened.
night.
Wu Yunwan sat in the private room of the inn and adjusted her internal strength. After a while, Wu Yunwan opened her beautiful eyes and looked at the two old people in front of her.
Hu Shu said at this time: "Elder Princess, we should hurry up and leave the Northern Kingdom. The Northern Kingdom is more dangerous than we imagined."
Hu Shu was sent by Queen Dayue to protect Wu Yuewan, so she was very worried about Wu Yunwan's safety. If something happened to Wu Yunwan, she would have no way to explain to Queen Dayue.
After hearing what Hu Shu said, Wu Yunwan said lightly: "We will leave the North Kingdom early tomorrow morning."
Wu Yunwan doesn't plan to stay too long in the North Country. She also feels that the water in the North Country is a bit too deep. Not only did the owner of the Xuanyue Palace come to the North Country and stayed there for several months, but now there are actually such people in the North Country. The young Grand Master, coupled with the heavy cavalry of the Northern Kingdom, made Wu Yunwan realize that the Northern Kingdom was a place of right and wrong.
As the eldest princess of the Dawu Dynasty, it would be better for her to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
Originally, she had planned to stay in the Northern Kingdom for a while to see what the Northern King was doing in the Northern Kingdom, and to inquire about the situation of the Northern Kingdom's heavy cavalry. Now it seems that leaving the Northern Kingdom as soon as possible is the most correct choice.
After hearing Wu Yunwan's words, the two great masters Hu Shu and Pei Hong breathed a sigh of relief. Wu Yunwan was willing to leave, but she was afraid that she was too confident and unwilling to leave the North Kingdom so soon.
At this time, Wu Yunwan asked: "Granny Hu, Senior Pei, if you and Chen Lu start a fight, are you sure you can defeat him?"
Hearing this question, Hu Shu and Pei Hong were stunned for a moment. Pei Hong was the first to answer: "Your Highness, it is difficult for us to judge his specific strength before taking action, but he can become a grand master at such a young age. His attainments in martial arts must be very high.”
"And in front of him, I have a strong sense of crisis. If I take action, I may not be his opponent."
Pei Hong had fought against Situ Ce before, and he never had the same sense of crisis in front of Situ Ce.
Obviously he felt that Chen Lu was at a similar level to him, but he always felt like he was being watched, as if he was being watched by a beast, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Therefore, Pei Hong judged that Chen Lu was probably stronger than him. If he really made a move, he would most likely not be a match for that young man, and he might not even be able to last for half an hour.
Wu Yunwan was a little surprised when she heard Pei Hong's words. She didn't expect that even Pei Hong didn't have the confidence to defeat Chen Lu.
Her eyes then fell on Hu Shu, who said at this time: "I and Mr. Pei have the same view. If I fight that Chen Lu alone, I will most likely not be his opponent."
Seeing what Hu Shudu said, Wu Yunwan also realized how scary Lu Chen was. She was just an extreme master. Although she could feel the power of Lu Chen, she couldn't judge how strong Lu Chen was. All I know is that he is a great master.
But the words of Pei Hong and Hu Shu made her understand that Chen Lu's strength was even more terrifying than she imagined. It seemed that his origin was not simple.
Thinking about it this way, Tingyu Tower is most likely related to the force behind Bei Wang's Mansion. I don't know what they want to do in Bei Kingdom or what they want to get from Bei Wang.
As a result, Wu Yunwan became even more interested in Lu Chen, the Northern King. What kind of value did the Northern King have, and was he worthy of the support of so many forces?
However, she will definitely not get the answers to these questions in the short term. She can only leave the Qianhai Chamber of Commerce in the North Country, and then let the Qianhai Chamber of Commerce slowly find ways to dig out some useful information.
Wu Yunwan continued to ask at this time: "Senior Pei, Granny Hu, do you think Chen Lu is aware of my identity?"
Pei Hong replied: "There is a high probability that he is aware of it. No matter how rich the Qianhai Chamber of Commerce is, it is impossible for him to have two great masters. However, he may not know that you are the eldest princess of Dawu. He probably thinks that you are the eldest princess of the sect." People who come.”
After all, Wu Yunwan is the eldest princess of Dawu and a powerful figure. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for her to sneak away to other dynasties without saying hello to other dynasties in advance. This is obviously detrimental to her identity.
In addition, there are relatively few people who can see Wu Yunwan. Not many people in the Dawu Dynasty even know what their eldest princess looks like, so Pei Hong thinks that the owner of Tingyu Tower just now may not be able to recognize that Wu Yunwan is them. The eldest princess of Dawu, at most he could guess that the three of them were related to the eldest princess of Dawu.
Of course, this is just Pei Hong's idea.
Hu Shu also said at this time: "Pei Gong is right, and I think so too."
Wu Yunwan fell into deep thought and said nothing more.
Early the next morning. The genius was dim, and Wu Yunwan took the carriage arranged by the Qianhai Chamber of Commerce back to the Dawu Dynasty.
Lu Chen was not surprised at all when he heard that Wu Yunwan left the Northern Kingdom so quickly. After all, Wu Yunwan was the eldest princess of the Dawu Dynasty. Her life safety was the most important thing. Now someone who could threaten her life appeared in the Northern Kingdom. , she will naturally not stay in the North Country for too long.
In the morning, after Lu Chen finished the porridge cooked by Mu Zixuan, he went to the Yizheng Hall for a small court meeting.
The topic discussed today is still related to the arrangements for the refugees in the North. In the recent period, basically nine of the ten Umrah meetings in the North were related to the refugees.
After the discussion on refugee-related matters at the Xiaochao meeting, Li Rui stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the population in the North is growing too fast now. The number of existing officials is seriously scarce and it is impossible to manage such a large population. I suggest adding more officials." Quantity.”
Almost every civil servant at the court has several positions. Although there will be more subsidies for holding multiple positions according to the current Northland official management system, it also means that there are a lot of things.
They used to be lazy every day, and so much work was added to them all at once, and they, the officials, couldn't adapt at all.
After killing the chicken to scare the monkeys last time, these officials are loyal, but they are not capable enough.
There is an urgent need to increase the number of officials.
After hearing Li Rui's words, Lu Chen said: "I am also considering adding more officials. However, the Northern Kingdom is poor and most of the people have not even read books. Scholars from other places in Daxia are not willing to come to the Northern Kingdom to work. Officers, it may not be easy to add more officers now.”
Li Rui said: "I heard that a branch of the Chu family has moved to the Northern Kingdom. The Chu family is a thousand-year-old family with many scholars. I suggest that the Chu family be allowed to enter the Northern Palace and hold important positions."
Li Rui naturally knew about the relationship between Lu Chen and the Chu family. He also knew that Lu Chen had a suppressive attitude towards the aristocratic family. However, there were not many talented people in the Northern Kingdom, so he could only use the Chu family for the time being.
If there is a constant shortage of officials, Lu Chen's reform progress will definitely be affected.
After hearing Li Rui's words, Lu Chen thought for a moment, and then said: "Yes, but anyone who wants to be an official in the future must take the assessment. I will personally give the questions for the assessment. Only after passing the assessment can you be qualified to do so." Officials of the Northern Kingdom.”
After talking about the officials, Li Rui stepped aside. At this time, Lu Chen continued: "I have something to announce today. Yancheng is too small and too dilapidated to meet the growing commercial needs of the North. I plan to Build another new city and move the Northern Palace to the new city.”
Hearing this, the officials in the hall immediately started talking.
To build a new city, the first problem that must be faced is where the money comes from, and the second is the working population. Now that there are so many refugees in the North, there is naturally no shortage of working population, but the key issue is money.
Lu Chen continued: "We are worried about the money issue. Many chambers of commerce will take the initiative to participate in the construction of the new city, and the main construction funds will be provided by the royal palace's treasury."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, the officials immediately stopped talking. As long as the palace provided the money and they were not allowed to find ways to make money, then everything would be fine.
What they fear most is that the palace will let officials like them make money. The North is so poor now, and officials like them have no place to make money. The only place to make money is through various tax collections.
However, Lu Chen exempted most of the agricultural tax, and the tax items in the North were now determined by the Beiwang Mansion, and they did not have the qualifications to collect taxes under clever names.
Lu Chen continued at this time: "The location of the new city has not been decided yet. Let's discuss where the new city should be built."
Hearing this, the discussion of officials sounded again in the hall.
at the same time.
The inner courtyard of Beiwang Mansion.
After Chu Yuqin finished patrolling, she returned to her yard. She planned to have a good chat with Chu Qingli.
At this time, Chu Qingli was regulating her internal strength in the room. During this period, she was often pulled by Lu Chen to practice. Her strength had also been greatly improved, but her skill had grown too fast, making it difficult for her to adapt.
Chu Yuqin knocked on the door, "Qingli, are you in the room? My sister came in."
Hearing Chu Yuqin's voice, Chu Qingli quickly pulled up her clothes. When she was practicing just now, she only had a bellyband left on her body, exposing a lot of skin.
There are red marks all over her body. If Chu Yuqin sees it, Chu Yuqin will talk about herself again later.
After putting on her coat quickly, Chu Qingli said coldly: "I'm inside, sister, come in."
After hearing Chu Qingli's response, Chu Yuqin pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing that Chu Qingli was meditating, as if she was regulating her internal strength just now, Chu Yuqin sighed slightly.
In Chu Yuqin's opinion, Chu Qingli's recent hard training was probably to improve her strength as soon as possible so that she could surpass Lu Chen as soon as possible and then forcibly take herself out of the North Prince's Mansion.
Chu Qingli looked at Chu Yuqin and asked, "Sister, what do you want from me?"
Chu Yuqin replied: "Qingli, you have often gone crazy in your practice recently. It can be seen that your mind has been confused. If you continue to practice like this, something will happen sooner or later."
"Sister has already told Chen'er that the security work of the palace will be handed over to Xiaobai in the next few months. You should take a good rest first."
Hearing this, Chu Qingli was stunned for a moment, and then she immediately said: "Sister, I'm fine."
Chu Yuqin said: "It's okay. Look at those red scars on your body. Chen'er said that these red scars on your body are very difficult to remove. If one day these scars deepen further, even Chen'er can't remove them. You How to get married?”
"Besides, these scars are only minor matters. If you go crazy and lose all your power, will you still be able to stay in Beiwang Mansion in the future?"
"I..." Chu Qingli hesitated to speak.
She now wanted to say that these scars had nothing to do with her obsession, but the lie had been spread a long time ago and she could not take it back now.
If she wants to say that these scars have nothing to do with obsession, then where did these scars come from?
How will I explain to Chu Yuqin then?
