The Imperial Concubine Just Wants To Be a Salted Fish Every Day

Luo Yechen received the edict sent by the emperor, immediately changed his clothes, and went to Shanglin Garden in a carriage.

He met the emperor in the palace.

Luo Qinghan couldn't help asking when he saw his depressed look.

"Why do you look like this? What happened?"

Luo Yechen: "The princess asked me just now, saying that in the event of a difficult childbirth, she can only protect one adult and one child. Who should I protect? I said she would be unhappy."

Luo Qinghan: "Then you say protect the child."

Luo Yechen: "I said it, but she got even more angry."

Luo Qinghan: "..."

Luo Yechen: "Being a father is really hard."

Luo Qinghan: "..."

Luo Yechen: "Fortunately, you haven't become a father yet."

Luo Qinghan: "..."

Luo Yechen: "I really envy you now, how easy it is to have no children and no daughters!"

Luo Qing said with a cold face: "Come here, fork him out."

Luo Yechen hurriedly shouted: "Don't, you called me here on purpose, don't you have something serious to tell me? We haven't even started talking about it yet!"

When Luo Qinghan thought that there was still a place for him, he gritted his teeth, and in the end he still kept him.

Luo Yechen took the opportunity to make an inch: "I really want a drink now, I haven't had a drink for a long time, let's chat while drinking."

Luo Qinghan glanced at Eunuch Chang next to him.

Chang Gonggong understood, and soon brought a pot of wine and three side dishes.

Luo Qinghan and Luo Yechen sat opposite each other.

Luo Yechen picked up the wine glass, took a deep breath, and said intoxicated: "Good wine!"

But the next moment he put the glass down.

He sighed and said: "Unfortunately, the princess is pregnant and can't smell alcohol. If I go back after drinking, she will definitely teach me a lesson. I still don't drink it. Eunuch Chang, please pour me a cup of tea. "

Luo Qinghan was once again shown a face.

It is simply impossible to guard against! "

Eunuch Chang served Luo Yechen a cup of tea.

He took a sip of tea, picked up his chopsticks, and asked while eating.

"Your Majesty specially summoned me, did you have any orders?"

Luo Qinghan said with a wooden face: "The group of people who went to sea have returned."

When he decided to develop sea routes, he had already sent people to the south to build ships and go to sea.

The business under Luo Yechen's name is all over the country, and he has ready-made contacts in the south, so Luo Yechen also got involved in the matter of going to sea.

Luo Yechen was surprised: "So fast?"

Luo Qinghan said in a low voice: "This is their first time sailing, and they are not familiar with all aspects. They didn't dare to go too far. In fact, it is already a great luck that they can come back safely this time."

There were also many people who wanted to go to sea, but most of them were lost in the sea, and there was no return.

This time, the reason why the fleet sent by the emperor was able to return safely was due to Xiao Xixi.

It was she who first calculated the fleet and pointed out the direction for them, so that their trip could go smoothly.

Of course, the people in the fleet did not know this, and they all thought that they were under the protection of the emperor, so their reverence for the emperor was even higher.

Luo Yechen asked curiously, "Did they gain anything?"

Luo Qinghan: "They found several small islands at sea, and found residents on one of the small islands, but because of the language barrier, they didn't know what the other was talking about. In the end, they had no choice but to bring a few. The islanders come back and plan to slowly study their language."

It was said to be brought back, but in fact it was tied back.

Luo Yechen: "Anything else?"

Luo Qinghan: "Our people still found an iron ore on one of the small islands."

Luo Yechen opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief: "Is iron ore really discovered? I thought it was a lie when I said that there was gold mine at sea!"

Although iron ore is not as valuable as gold ore, iron ore is more useful than gold ore.

Iron is not only the daily needs of the people, but also makes weapons and harnesses to strengthen the equipment of the army.

Several iron ore mines in China are quite old. After so many years of mining, they have almost bottomed out. Now that such an iron ore has suddenly appeared, it is tantamount to solving a major problem in Dasheng Dynasty!

As for why the fleet can find iron ore as soon as they set sail?

Naturally, it was because Xiao Xixi helped point the way.

Even if they are thousands of miles apart, she can still calculate the sailing route of the fleet based on astrology, so that they can find treasures as much as possible while avoiding risks.

Luo Qinghan: "This iron mine is too important to me, I don't trust anyone else, I only trust you, so I can only send you to Wanhai City to personally supervise the mining of iron mines."

Luo Yechen was first moved, and then was taken aback.

"You asked me to supervise? No way, my princess is pregnant, and I have to stay by her side!"

Luo Qinghan: "I have calculated the time for you. If you leave tomorrow, if there is no accident, you should be able to come back before Princess Ying gives birth."

Luo Yechen: "But I..."

Luo Qinghan: "I know that you are reluctant to bear Princess Ying. To be honest, if this matter were not too important, I would not have sent you to the south at this time. You should also know how important this iron mine is. Once discovered by those noble families, they will definitely want to take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie, and we can't give them this opportunity."

Luo Yechen was too tangled.

Of course he knew the importance of this new iron mine.

Almost all the existing iron mines are in the hands of noble families.

Because of this, they can even put people in the army.

If the emperor can firmly control the new iron ore in his own hands, it is equivalent to pulling out a tooth of the aristocratic families and reducing their threat to the imperial power by a lot.

Luo Qinghan: "I know that someone from the Wang family has contacted you privately."

Luo Yechen was shocked.

He did not expect the emperor to suddenly mention this at this time.

The last time the emperor and his concubine went to the British palace together, the emperor tried to test the British king, but was vaguely passed by the British king.

He thought that this matter had already been revealed, but he never thought that the emperor had already known about it.

Luo Qinghan: "The Wang family contacted you quietly through the Gao family. As for why they contacted you, I can probably guess."

Luo Yechen was afraid of being misunderstood and hurriedly explained.

"Wang Gan did look for me. He wanted me to intercede for Wang Kai, but I refused. I am an idle prince and can't help them."

Luo Qinghan: "I believe you won't mix with the Wang family."

Hearing that, Luo Yechen breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he listened to the emperor continue to speak.

"But have you ever thought about why Wang Gan suddenly found you? According to my understanding, the Wang family has never had any dealings with you, and Wang Gan and you are just nodding acquaintances. He should know that even if he finds you, you are likely to It won't help, but he still went to you, why?"
