She only wants to do infrastructure construction

Li Yewu's words refreshed Zi Cui's understanding.

Although the literal meaning is not clear, I still understand the general meaning. In short, what the princess means is that this disciple is not as good as their master.

Zi Cui breathed a sigh of relief, it was just like this, otherwise the master would probably have to come back from Shanhu State immediately if he found out.

……

However, Li Yewu underestimated this infatuated person. Cui Fuyin came to the door the next day with an embarrassed look on his face and a cautious look on his face.

As soon as Li Yewu saw his expression, she knew that he must have encountered a headache, and couldn't help but feel funny.

"Tell me what brought you here."

"A man came over yesterday afternoon and said he wanted to discuss a business deal with us."

"what business?"

"He wants to buy the mining area in the southern suburbs..."

"?" Li Yewu couldn't believe it: "What do you want to buy?"

"He wants to do the mining business. He said that the mountains in the Southern District are very suitable for him. He wants to mine here and asked us if we can sell the Southern District to him." Cui Fuyin sighed: "I also refused, but He refused to leave like a dog-skin plaster, and even said that it was okay not to buy a lease, and money was not an issue. He just wanted to come out and do something to impress the tribe."

Cui Fuyin couldn't help but have tears in his eyes when he thought of the painful memories of yesterday. That guy really stayed in his government office until late at night, and said he would come today, tomorrow, and every day.

Finally, Cui Fuyin said that he could not make the decision and had to ask the city lord for instructions before he could be sent home.

Early in the morning, the master said that the man was waiting at the door again. Cui Fuyin felt as if his throat was being strangled by this man, and silently slipped out of the back door.

If this person really comes to squat on him every day, how will he live his life? It is better to ask the princess for instructions quickly and give the princess a headache.

Li Yewu narrowed her eyes as she listened: "Why does this behavior feel so familiar?"

"?" Cui Fuyin looked confused: "Could it be that the princess has also seen him?"

"Could this man be called Zhao Chunyi?"

"Eh? That's right, it's this person. The princess has already met him?" Cui Fuyin was overjoyed, so he didn't have to waste time introducing who this person was.

Unexpectedly, Zicui spat out with righteous indignation and said: "You are a disciple!"

"Ah?" Cui Fuyin looked at her blankly, not quite understanding what happened.

Li Yewu smiled: "I had some misunderstandings with Mr. Zhao yesterday, but they were all innocuous matters."

Cui Fuyin didn't think much about it. In his opinion, teasing the princess was something only a brave person would do. How could a normal person do it?

So he didn't think about it at all. He only cared about one issue, whether to lease the southern suburbs mining area to him.

Li Yewu shook his head calmly: "Please go back and tell him that the southern suburbs will not be sold or leased, and there is no chance no matter how much money is spent."

Cui Fuyin was stunned, nodded clearly and left.

After he left, Zi Cui shook her fist in relief: "Princess Mingjian! Such a scoundrel is not worthy of doing business with us."

Li Yewu smiled and shook her head. She didn't cooperate with Zhao Chunyi just because he was a prostitute.

The mining area in the southern suburbs was a treasure land she had specially set aside. She would not start the mining area in the southern suburbs until the breeding in the western suburbs, the livestock farming in the northern suburbs, and the docks in the eastern suburbs were all developed.

For ordinary people, only gold, jade and iron ores are useful, but for her, there are many useful mineral resources.At this time, leasing these mines to others would be cutting off the source of wealth.

Moreover, Zhao Chunyi is also outrageous. He doesn't go anywhere to buy mines in Taihezhou. Isn't this a sure thing?Just when Li Yewu ruthlessly rejected Zhao Chunyi, Xiao Jiuxi received letters of secret surrender from several family heads in succession.

It seemed that the downfall of the family leader gave them a sense of crisis. In short, when they knew that the new family leader had surrendered to the king, everyone could not sit still.

The previous master could fall, let alone them?

Everyone was restless, and eventually one or two came to Xiao Jiuxi to surrender.

Xiao Jiuxi thought it would take at least three to five years to recruit these 11 family heads, but who knew that happiness would come so suddenly.

In just half a month, he received the surrender of six family heads.

Since it was delivered to your door for free, Xiao Jiuxi had already figured out the lifeline industries of these aristocratic families before he came. At this time, he asked for everything they needed to survive.

Of course the family heads did not agree.

Xiao Jiuxi raised her eyes: "Didn't you say you are willing to be loyal to me? Since you are loyal to me, your life is mine, right? You can give me your life, so why do you not take these things with you whether you live or die? Can’t give it to me?”

"This...this is different..."

"What's different?" Xiao Jiuxi raised her eyebrows: "Didn't you say you want to surrender? How can I believe it if you don't give me any external possessions? And I am only an invisible owner, making specific decisions. It's up to you to handle it yourself. I just want a reassuring land deed. At most, I want to check the accounts every year and get some dividends. Is this too much?"

Everyone has nothing to say.

In the end, whether it was voluntary or forced, everyone left a contract.

Xiao Jiuxi smiled from ear to ear, feeling that the return date was getting closer and closer, and the good days were finally coming.

……

Shanhu Prefecture is developing in a good direction, and the imperial capital is also implementing the decree in an orderly manner.

Speaking of which, Xiao Heng, the good king, has been in power for more than a month. Now he has gradually adapted to the busy days. From sleeping only one hour to two hours a day, he can even sleep for three hours now.

Although I have adapted to the life here, I am still a little uneasy. The first thing I do when I get up every day is to hope that the world will be peaceful and that there will be no emergencies.

Even the picky ministers couldn't find anything wrong with King Liang's acting as king. Emperor Wuhou was indeed very discerning, and it was indeed reassuring for King Liang to act as king.

However, everyone with a discerning eye also knows that the reason why King Liang can handle government affairs so smoothly is because he has Emperor Wuhou behind him.

If Emperor Wuhou is really gone, the good king may not be able to control all the civil and military officials in the court.

To everyone's surprise, in addition to handling government affairs, King Liang was also secretly investigating.

In the past, Xizuo could still keep his composure and lurk in the dark, but now that the Xiao family has created a mystery formation, Xizuo would naturally reveal his flaws if he couldn't see through it.

Sure enough, after more than a month of secret investigation, there were finally clues.

However, Xiao Heng was shocked by the results he got.

No matter who in the court was the person who poisoned his father, he would not be surprised. He never expected that the person who poisoned him would be him...

Xiao Xiannong.

"Are you sure it's him?" Xiao Heng shook his head, obviously unwilling to believe it.

"Yes, the only person who was left out of the list who came into contact with the saint's tonic that day was the eighth prince."
