Chapter 268 066: I want to go to sea (one more)
Emperor Chongming still did not attend the court meeting, but took control of the situation from behind. Princess Qianrong was waiting on the sidelines. She watched her father's face carefully, wondering if he agreed or opposed to this matter?If asked her own opinion, how should she answer so as not to anger the other party?
A companion is like a tiger, she dare not lose her mind for a moment, otherwise she will be lost forever.

"Qianrong, what do you think?"

Here, the eldest princess was not surprised that Emperor Chongming would ask her like this, so she said, "My son thought that this is not a big deal, father, do the math, the imperial court ordered steam exhausters from them, and they must first be able to deliver them. Then the iron ore we paid them would be wasted, after all, the imperial court took advantage of it.”

Emperor Chongming just raised his eyelids to look at his daughter, and said nothing, obviously he was also weighing it in his heart.

In Yiyang City, Xie Jin handed the latest news to Chang Xi who was sitting beside him, "You are making their water more muddy, and the court has been arguing about it recently."

Chang Xi raised his eyebrows, not only was he not afraid, but rather excited, "This is a good thing." Then he carefully read the latest news in his hand, and said after a while, "They will agree to trade with us in this way Yes, from raw materials such as iron ore to usable ironware, there is a lot of consumption in the process, and they will settle the account."

However, Xie Jin took a deep look at Chang Xi. Her method is actually feasible, and once this opening is made, then future transactions will be established. It is far from being as much as they want to control. After all, the imperial court has no money, and this is the key.

Chang Xi said softly while eating breakfast, "I'll talk to the servant of the household department again today. Although he is only a young man in the household department, he was sent to discuss this matter after all, so let him play more." It will help." After a pause, "The Dong Shilang from the Ministry of Industry seems to want to dig a corner, do you think this other courtyard should strengthen security?"

Xie Jin didn't care about this issue, "The Ministry of Industry is really so active, this time the business should be led by them, and there are more officials in the court who are doing nothing. It's not him who can change most of the business by himself. It’s a matter of people’s style.” After a pause, “the Ministry of Household Affairs and other Ministry of Industry don’t trust each other, and refuse to allocate funds. Without money, it is difficult to move forward.”

Chang Xi immediately laughed when she heard the words, what she said was too heart-wrenching, but fortunately that Dong Shilang was not there, otherwise she might not be able to eat breakfast.

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

Chang Xi was not surprised by the news. When she broke up with Yuan Hao that day, she knew that Yuan Hao would not let the case drag on for too long, but Chang Kui was miserable. Yuan Hao will not let him escape from prison easily.

However, this is none of her business.

"You go and inform Mrs. Sun and Lianzi, and then go to prepare the carriage and prepare to pick 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. She still dealt with various affairs step by step. This was an itinerary that was scheduled early in the morning, so it is not easy to cancel it temporarily.

When Zhang Yingda came out of prison, his hair and beard had grown. In fact, it was only more than half a month, but to him, it seemed as long as he had been imprisoned for a lifetime. Qing waited for his own mother and younger sister, with tears streaming down his eyes unconsciously.

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

"Lianzi." Zhang Yingda hugged his younger sister and stroked her head. He didn't kneel down until his mother, Mrs. Sun, came in front of him. "Mother, my son is not filial, and my tired mother is worried about me..."

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

After the excitement of the family reunion passed, Dongli stepped forward and said, "Go back first, Mrs. Chang said that she will hold a dust-cleaning banquet for you, and it will be a good day in the future."

Only then did Zhang Yingda wipe away his tears. In fact, he didn't see Chang Xi coming to pick him up. He was somewhat disappointed, but when he thought that Chang Xi had not given up on him, he couldn't help feeling hopeful again. After all, his business of selling vegetables In fact, it was a mess.

Sitting in the carriage, he looked at the scenery outside the window, blowing the early summer wind with a hint of heat, and seemed to be very preoccupied.

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

"Is Ah Fa buried?"

Hearing this question, Zhang Lianzi thought of the dead Zhou Afa, and couldn't help but wept again from it. Finally, in the comfort of her brother, she said, "Thanks to Sister Chang, Brother Afa walked very well, and he will be buried soon." In the mountains not far from the workshop, tomorrow I will prepare sacrifices to worship with you."

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

Mrs. Sun didn't know the friendship of these three cubs in times of adversity, and didn't feel much about Zhou Afa's death. She just hoped that her children would not be sad about it for too long.

Back in the yard behind the tea brick workshop, Mrs. Sun sprinkled the prepared leaf water on his son to get rid of bad luck, then stepped over the brazier, and then happily welcomed his son into the yard.

Zhang Yingda had lived here for a while, so he knew the layout of the place very well, so he naturally went back to the room where he and Zhou Afa lived that day. The scenery was still the same, but the man had passed away. His shoulders couldn't help but slumped, he was the one who couldn't help his good brother...

"What? A prison disaster took your energy away?"

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

Chang Xi didn't quite believe what he said. For a young man of his age, life was indeed cruel to him before he understood life and separation. It shouldn't be.

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

Zhang Yingda was startled, thinking of Chang Xi's cultivation and help to him, he knew that he could no longer be depressed like this, so he said, "Sister Chang, don't worry, I will definitely cheer up, and I will live together with Ah Fa." go down."

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

Zhang Yingda nodded solemnly.

Only then did Chang Xi turn around and leave, not wasting time on enlightening others, after all, that was all she had said, good and bad, and the rest was up to him.

Zhang Yingda shaved off the beard on his face. Led by his younger sister Zhang Lianzi, Zhang Yingda went to worship Zhou Afa first, and then had a dust-cleaning feast at dinner.

For the next two days, instead of staying in the workshop, he walked around and looked around, his eyes becoming more and more determined.

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