When he heard that Chernan came visiting once more, the Crown Prince deliberate to ship him away, however Prime Minister Yan, who occurred to be a visitor within the Crown Prince’s residence, stopped him.
“It’s not like there’s no turning level within the matter of dehydrated greens.”
“The Imperial Capital doesn’t lack greens. Nice Xia doesn’t lack greens, nevertheless it lacks some locations.”
“The rarer one thing is, the extra treasured it’s.”
In spite of everything, he had been taught by many masters for therefore a few years. The Crown Prince was not too silly. He immediately understood what his grandfather meant.
Prime Minister Yan reminded him once more, “In addition to, your father needs to be feeling sorry for the iron mines that had been returned.”
The Crown Prince understood instantly and reported excellent news to the Emperor the following day.
“Father, the Xiongnu persons are keen to make use of iron ore to purchase numerous the Yan Household’s dehydrated greens!”
The Emperor was overjoyed and praised the Crown Prince fiercely.
Chernan felt that he had solved the meals drawback that had troubled them for a few years for the folks of Xiongnu. He was additionally very smug.
!!..
Though it was only a small vegetable, with out it, there have been so many issues that it made one’s hair stand on finish. Who might perceive the ache of squatting within the snow for an hour bare on a snowy day? Their legs had been f*cking numb once they stood up!
“To not point out that we nonetheless have reserves, even when we don’t have iron ore, so long as the mineral supply is there, will probably be inexhaustible.”
“However these greens are totally different. You assume it’s a loss for me to trade iron ore for them, however don’t you assume that so long as you possibly can take these items again to check, it’s a one-time deal?”
“Are we silly? In fact not. With so many dehydrated greens purchased again, can’t we develop the tactic ourselves?”
“Don’t inform me that you simply’re not envious of Nice Xia’s navy rations. Suppose additional. If we are able to additionally produce the quick meals that Nice Xia’s troopers eat sooner or later, gained’t we be like tigers with wings once we assault the Imperial Capital sooner or later?”
Each side felt that it was a win-win state of affairs. Solely Xiaoxiao smiled and didn’t say something.
Not lengthy after the Yan Household’s dehydrated greens had been exchanged for the iron ore that Nice Xia virtually missed, the Emperor of Nice Xia introduced once more—
“The Genius Physician Valley and the Imperial Hospital will collaborate to launch patent drugs that’s handy to retailer and has apparent medicinal results.”
Amongst these medicines, there have been ointments and capsules. That they had miraculous results on the corresponding sickness from typhoid to cough.
Most significantly, it was low-cost!
It saved them the difficult cooking and processing steps. They had been prepared to make use of and the quantity of drugs was exact. Even an illiterate household wouldn’t make a mistake after having a look on the illustrated directions.
Wasn’t this far more humane than “cooking three bowls of water right into a bowl”?
At first, when the patent drugs was first launched, the commoners had been skeptical. Nevertheless, when somebody broke out in a chilly sweat the day earlier than to purchase the medication and went to work in excessive spirits on the third day, the true impact instantly unfold like wildfire.
Good wine was not afraid of being hidden within the alley. Good drugs was not afraid of nobody utilizing it.
Anyway, Chernan was very enticed.
For a second, he didn’t know if he was proper to come back to Nice Xia. He didn’t appear to have realized something helpful and was solely desirous about purchasing!
The official envoys tried their greatest to keep away from the second prince’s gaze, however the latter pressed on their shoulders and compelled their eyes to fulfill.
“Second Prince! We don’t have cash! Didn’t we use the iron ores we transported to purchase dehydrated greens?”
Chernan wiped the saliva on his face. “There’s numerous reserves over time…”
The Emperor had been in an excellent temper lately.
Nice Xia’s territory expanded, and they didn’t lose a single piece of iron ore. Xiongnu even deliberate to trade extra iron ore for his or her patent drugs. He had a sense that Nice Xia would welcome a golden age in his fingers!
The one flaw was that the 2 plots of land that Xiongnu provided as tribute had been too poor.
The rationale why crops couldn’t be planted within the metropolis forward was as a result of the soil high quality was not good. Nevertheless, the place the place Xiongnu paid tribute was totally different. There was not even an honest piece of land there. So far as the attention might see, it was actually empty.
At this second, Imperial Censor Zuo requested to see him and mentioned that he had one thing necessary to report.
As quickly as he arrived, he mentioned mysteriously, “Don’t you discover it unusual, Your Majesty? Xiongnu’s request is clearly unreasonable. Why did Lu Chen agree?”
The Emperor was truly additionally puzzled. Lu Chen ought to perceive what these iron ores meant. Not solely did they symbolize the dignity of Nice Xia, however they had been additionally an necessary prerequisite to make sure that Xiongnu wouldn’t be capable to trigger hassle in the intervening time.
Lu Chen didn’t have the flexibility to foretell the long run, so he naturally didn’t know that the Crown Prince would trade dehydrated greens for iron ore. It was additionally unattainable for him to foretell that Xiongnu would take a flowery to the patent drugs produced by the Genius Physician Valley.
Since that was the case, why did he agree?
Seeing that the Emperor was beginning to assume, Imperial Censor Zuo took the chance to say, “I do know that genius physician Gongsun is aware of the Xiao Household, however irrespective of how acquainted he’s or how assured he’s, it’s unattainable for him to know the Second Prince of Xiongnu’s actions just like the again of his hand, proper?”
“Except…”
The Emperor glanced at him. “Except what?”
Imperial Censor Zuo regarded round mysteriously. “I by accident discovered that Lu Chen initially deliberate to be agency and by no means agreed to Xiongnu’s unreasonable request. He modified his thoughts as a result of somebody persuaded him.”
Certainly, Lu Chen had scolded the Xiongnu envoys till they had been worse than animals within the early levels of the negotiation. If he had not relented, the Xiongnu envoys’ requests would have been ineffective.
The Emperor requested, “Who?”
Imperial Censor Zuo needed to say one thing however hesitated. “I don’t dare to say.”
The Emperor checked out him coldly. “Don’t give me that. In case you don’t dare to say it, why are you right here right now? Do you imagine that I’ll hit you?”
Imperial Censor Zuo felt embarrassed, however he knew when to cease. He stopped pretending and took out one thing from his garments.
“It’s the Third Prince.”
“As well as, I additionally obtained this letter accidentally.”
The Emperor let Eunuch De take it. “Imperial Censor Zuo has performed numerous issues ‘unintentionally’.”
Imperial Censor Zuo felt goosebumps on his again. “Really, somebody couldn’t stand the Third Prince’s actions and took the initiative to denounce him.”
It was a chunk of cake to discover a soldier who was dissatisfied with the Third Prince in such an enormous navy camp. As for letters…
The Emperor learn rapidly. “It’s a letter from Chernan and Rong Yan?”
The letter mentioned to ask Rong Yan to assist them. In any other case, they’d overlook about serving to him battle for the throne.
This matter had severely violated the Emperor’s taboo.
The princes might battle and be unconvinced with one another, however they may not collude with outsiders! Particularly Xiongnu, who had a blood feud with Nice Xia!
Imperial Censor Zuo mentioned angrily, “He colluded with overseas enemies and coveted the throne. The Third Prince is rebelling!”
Maybe as a result of he felt that these phrases weren’t necessary sufficient, Imperial Censor Zuo continued, “I heard that the Third Prince acquired meals help many instances when he attacked Xiongnu. He mentioned that that individual solely needed to contribute to Nice Xia and was unwilling to depart his identify.”
“What a joke. How can there be so many kind-hearted folks on the planet? That’s meals that may provide the whole border camp. Is that this one thing unusual residents can casually take out?”
“It may be seen that the Third Prince is already ready! Who would have thought that the Third Prince, who appears to have been obedient all these years, is probably the most scheming individual?”
Did he imply that Rong Yan had been secretly storing meals for “wants”?
Though the Emperor additionally felt that the rations didn’t come from a sort individual, his guess was totally different from Imperial Censor Zuo’s..
