Chapter 906 If the two of them went to Liaodong as a group, wouldn't they get lost all the way
Go to Liaodong?
Yang Shaofeng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Zhu Biao and said, "I think it's feasible."
As the saying goes, "Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles."
"What I saw and heard in Ningyang and Dengzhou was the local conditions of Ningyang and Dengzhou. Many of the methods I came up with were also aimed at Ningyang and Dengzhou."
"If I could personally go to Liaodong and see for myself the harsh conditions and customs there, I think I could give Hu Buzheng better advice."
Yang Shaofeng racked his brains trying to figure out how to get to Liaodong, but Zhu Biao just sneered.
You still want to go to Liaodong?
What are you dreaming about?
After all, the roads in Liaodong are complicated. What if you get lost and end up at some random place like Langjuxu Mountain to perform the Fengshan ceremony?
Eh?
Wolf Mountain.
Offering sacrifices to Heaven and performing the Fengshan ceremony.
At the thought of this, Zhu Biao's heart began to pound wildly.
For thousands of years, it seems that no legitimate prince has ever visited Langjuxu Mountain.
Otherwise, I'll go to Liaodong with my brother-in-law.
There shouldn't be any major problems.
At worst, I'll just get lost along with him.
With Uncle Chang, Uncle Kehu, and the guards of the Imperial Son-in-Law's residence, even if I and my brother-in-law got lost together, we should be able to stay safe.
As for whether I'll get beaten up when I get back?
Laugh to death.
I'll just have to endure it.
You're making it sound like I've never been beaten before.
Whoever's afraid of getting beaten up is a little dog!
At worst, we can hide in the Prince Consort's mansion for a few days, and then call Jin'er and Yu'er to enter the palace together.
Thinking of this, Zhu Biao couldn't help but glance at Yang Shaofeng with disgust.
Even if one of my two older sisters is pregnant, we can run away to the Wolf Dwelling Mountain and not get beaten up!
While secretly complaining to himself, Zhu Biao looked at Yang Shaofeng and said, "Brother-in-law, it's fine if you want to go to Liaodong, but I have to come with you. After all, I also want to see the local customs and culture of Liaodong with my own eyes."
Li Shanchang glanced at Zhu Biao, then at Yang Shaofeng.
Last time, the two of them got lost when the navy went out to sea for a trial voyage, and then got lost all the way to Japan, and finally recovered the Iwami Ginzan.
This time, if the two of them go to Liaodong as a group, they'll probably get lost all the way to Langjuxu Mountain.
If my older sister finds out that I didn't stop them...
Where should Hu Weiyong be buried so as not to disturb this old man?
Hu Weiyong was completely dumbfounded.
Judging from the way Yang Dianfeng and His Highness the Crown Prince's eyes are shining, they must be thinking about a place called Langjuxu Mountain, right?
The problem is that since they're eyeing Langjuxu Mountain, will the higher-ups and the eldest sister also be eyeing my head, Hu Weiyong?
What a disaster!
Originally, I just wanted Yang the Madman to go to Liaodong so that he could see for himself how unlucky those officials and gentry were.
Who would have thought that Yang the Madman and His Highness the Crown Prince would set their sights on Langjuxu Mountain, you bastards!
Hu Weiyong grew increasingly frightened as he thought about it, and couldn't help but shrink back, whispering, "Actually, it's fine not to go. After all, Liaodong is bitterly cold, and even in spring it is still extremely cold, which is not conducive to travel."
Zhu Biao glanced at Hu Weiyong and said, "If I don't see the local customs and culture of Liaodong with my own eyes, how will I know the suffering of the people of Liaodong in the future?"
Do you want to experience the local customs and culture of Liaodong firsthand?
You're just thinking about Langjuxu Mountain!
Hu Weiyong was internally ranting, when Zhu Biao continued, "And another one."
“I did not grow up in the palace from childhood, but I have also personally experienced battles.”
"Don't think I don't know. Spring is not only the time for people to plow and plant crops, but also the time for the Liaodong army to sweep through the northern desert."
Once in the spring.
Once in the height of summer.
Autumn arrives once.
Springtime brings forth vibrant life, and summer is the season for all things to grow, making it the perfect time for cattle and sheep to thrive on the grasslands.
From the beginning of autumn to the end of autumn, cattle and sheep on the grasslands prepare for winter, a period commonly known as "sticking to autumn fat".
From the Qin and Han dynasties to the present, as long as the Central Plains factions are strong enough, they will generally send troops to sweep across the grasslands during these three seasons to weaken the strength of the grasslands.
The main point is that I may not be well-suited to the grasslands, but I'll find a way to make it impossible for you to survive there.
If the nomadic regimes on the grasslands could not withstand the pressure, they would only have the choice to move south or west.
There's not much to say about the westward migration.
But going south...
When the Central Plains forces are not strong enough, they will not sweep across the grasslands. When they are strong enough, they are not afraid of nomadic regimes moving south. In fact, they hope that nomadic regimes will move south, and it would be best if they could force the grassland cavalry to fight siege battles.
As I said before, without the Great Wall, when my strength was insufficient, I was afraid you would raid southwards. With the Great Wall, and with sufficient strength, wouldn't I be thinking of going out to raid you? Wouldn't the Great Wall have been built in vain, and wouldn't my strength have been accumulated for nothing?
Zhu Biao was determined to go to Liaodong with Yang Shaofeng and get lost.
Hu Weiyong, however, was so distressed he felt like he wanted to die.
"Isn't the New Year just around the corner?"
"Your Highness, the Prince Consort, and Minister Li and his ministers have all reached the time to return to the capital to report on their duties."
Hu Weiyong cautiously advised, "Even if Your Highness wants to go to Liaodong with the Prince Consort, shouldn't you wait until after the New Year?"
Zhu Biao glanced at Hu Weiyong again.
"I am in Ningyang, and you, Prime Minister Li, and your brother-in-law are also in Ningyang. Why bother traveling all the way back to the capital to report for duty?"
Zhu Biao curled his fingers and tapped the table: "How about this, you write a report on your duties, and I will review and approve it on the spot."
"If Prime Minister Li wants to return to the capital to report on his duties, then he can. If he doesn't want to return, then he can accompany me and my brother-in-law to Liaodong."
"The same goes for the officials who came to Ningyang with Prime Minister Li."
Li Shanchang glared fiercely at Hu Weiyong, then replied without hesitation, "Your subject is willing to accompany Your Highness and the Prince Consort to Liaodong."
What can I do with such a troublesome crown prince?
It's better to be held accountable later than to be settled before the new year.
I guess I'm just unlucky!
Hu Weiyong is a dog!
Hu Weiyong shrank back again after being glared at by Li Shanchang. He chuckled twice and said, "Then I will also report on my duties in Ningyang County, and then accompany Your Highness and the Prince Consort to Liaodong."
Li Shanchang snorted coldly, then turned his gaze to Zhu Biao and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, after we set off for Liaodong, should we send Princess Funing and Princess Fuyang back to the capital first?"
Zhu Biao hummed in agreement, then turned his gaze to Xia Yu: "And you? What do you say?"
Before Xia Yu could answer, Zhu Biao said directly, "Remember this: Prime Minister Li and Governor Hu saw steam engines and various workshops in Ningyang County. There are still many things they don't understand, so they won't be returning to the capital at the end of the year. They will continue to visit and learn in Ningyang County."
"After the New Year, Prime Minister Li led all the officials to Liaodong to see the local customs and culture firsthand, so that the court could formulate a strategy for developing Liaodong in the future."
"Don't let any inappropriate news reach the capital, understand?"
"Also, before the end of the year, you will stay in Ningyang County to handle the case files of the Guhe Shengci Temple. You can return to the capital at the end of the year."
