Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 48 Dances with Wolves

"See Your Highness the Sixth Highness!" Li Wufeng in full military uniform saluted respectfully.

"Lord Li is too polite! You and I, brothers, don't need to be so polite! Everyone, too!" A hearty laugh came out of his throat, and Situ Biao took two steps to help the man who wanted to worship Li Wufeng took advantage of the situation and affectionately held Li Wufeng's arm, while also warmly greeting several important generals under Li Wufeng.

"Hey, the salute cannot be discarded, Your Highness." Li Wufeng had a sincere smile on his face. Salute, but also have to imitate the salute.

"Please, Your Highness!" "Please, Master Li!"

Situ Biao inadvertently removed the word "six" from his address to Li Wufeng, with an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth, he took Wufeng's hand and walked into the spacious living room of the Chengshou Mansion together.

After listening to Wufeng's detailed introduction of the campaign against bandits and the defeat of Luobei people's invasion, Situ Biao asked about the current situation of the various prefectures in Northwest County. Wufeng also introduced them one by one. Objectively reported the existing difficulties.

Situ Biao is very satisfied in his heart. It seems that this Li Wufeng is quite honest with him, and he has not concealed anything about the situation he introduced. From the current point of view, it is not obvious that this person has any disagreements with his own counselors. There are some discrepancies, but the current superficial phenomenon is far from enough to make a judgment lightly, more importantly, it is to observe its behavior, but this is at least a good start, Situ Biao is thoughtful.

Li Wufeng, who was sitting next to him, still had that polite appearance on the surface, and his attitude towards Situ Biao was also very respectful, and he even showed some affection, but he was carefully trying to figure out the other party's intentions in his mind.

With all the kings vying for the throne, every prince wants to win the throne by defeating his brothers. This naturally requires the support of the princes in many ways, and the favor of His Majesty the Emperor is naturally crucial, but It is also indispensable to have strong strength and strong supporters. Otherwise, even if you sit on the throne of the emperor, you may still be overthrown by others if you are not strong enough. Such examples abound. Strangely, there are two precedents even in this dynasty. Maybe his current strength has attracted the attention of many "minded people", and this Situ Biao is probably one of them. He strongly recommends him to be the military and political governor of Northwest County. This hot position can be regarded as a big investment. Now He might think it's time to talk about earnings.

Wufeng was thinking in his heart, but he didn't show any expression on the surface. Since he wanted to talk about income, he could take the opportunity to make a complaint and ask him to win some support for the Northwest County in the center of the empire. It would not be in vain for Situ Biao to go to the Northwest himself.

He frowned, thinking about it. "Your Highness, I don't think it's better for me to go out with His Highness for a walk, to inspect Bonan Mansion on the spot, so that I can actually understand the specific situation in Northwest County."

Situ Biao readily agreed to Li Wufeng's proposal. He also wanted to find a suitable time to talk alone with this young man whom he couldn't see clearly. Can the weight be safely placed on him. But the face of the person in front of him always gave him a vague feeling, as if there was a faint gauze covering his face.

A luxury carriage slowly drove out of the gate of Bonan City Guard under the strict guard of knights all around. Given that the situation in Bonan has not yet completely calmed down, Situ Biao's identity is also unusual, and he has been in the city twice. Being assassinated and sniped, Wufeng took quite strict defense measures.

The carriage was slowly driving on the seemingly deserted street in Bonan. Most of the houses on both sides of the street looked dilapidated. The huge impact of long-term war and banditry on the economy can be seen at a glance. However, Situ Biao, who had been silent all this time, seemed to be a little absent-minded while sitting in the large carriage, and Li Wufeng who accompanied him couldn't find anything to say to break the deadlock.

At this moment, Situ Biao is concentrating on how to start the conversation.

The pacification of the Northwest is a foregone conclusion, and you can also submit a satisfactory answer to your father when you go back. Although the person in front of me has made great efforts to get the top spot in Northwest County, but there are too many cases of crossing the bridge and drawing boards. Strength determines everything, and no one will bet on the side that has no chance of winning. However, Situ Biao is not so naive if he wants to win his loyalty and serve in this way. In terms of strength, I should be the weakest among the several princes. In the future battle for the throne, it is too early to consider whether Li Wufeng will support him, but at least this is an opportunity to win him over. To reach the sky in one step, the foundation in the court is still very weak, and in many respects, a strong supporter in the center of the empire is still needed. I have succeeded in betting this time, and I will definitely be rewarded by my father when I go back, and my position in the court will be greatly improved. I have to get a good feel for his true thoughts.

"His Royal Highness, please look! This used to be a prestigious business district. At that time, there were many shops and merchants, but now ``````"

The carriage has come to the formerly prosperous business district of Bonan Mansion, but now it looks dilapidated and depressed. The few surviving merchants are dying in Yemen, which makes people feel very sad. Seeing this situation, Wufeng couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Oh?" Li Wufeng's words woke Situ Biao up from his thoughts, and he casually glanced around, then Situ Biao returned to the carriage. At this moment, he didn't have much thought about Bonan's economic situation. What he wanted to know more was what the person who introduced the situation to him thought of him.

The carriage circled around the city and then drove out of the city. Although Li Wufeng also saw that the Sixth Highness didn't seem to care much about Bonan's situation, he still wanted Situ Biao to take a look at Bonan's mansion. The real situation currently exists, let him go back and report to the ministers of the central government of the empire and His Majesty the emperor. Although Wufeng has no illusions about the support of the central government of the empire, at least it is not a bad thing for someone to cry and cry for the poor, and at least it can help some people gain some psychological balance.

This is an open field, with kilns scattered in twos and threes, withered weeds shivering in the strong northwest wind, and a few wild dogs can be seen occasionally.

Both Li Wufeng and Situ Biao got off the car and walked up to a high ground, "Your Highness, this is the formerly famous official kiln area of ​​the empire, and the other side is the private kiln area. It is full of transport vehicles waiting to be loaded, all the kilns are working overtime day and night, people are not resting, merchants are waiting here day and night, and at night it is also brightly lit and prosperous!"

Li Wufeng's words finally aroused Situ Biao's interest, "Oh? I didn't expect this place to fall into such a field now." While sighing, Situ Biao was also carefully looking at this once glorious kiln area.

"I heard that the natal family of Royal Concubine Sogna (Situ Biao's mother) is also a prominent family in Wuhu County, and they seem to be running a considerable ceramics business. I wonder if Your Highness is interested in the business here?"

Li Wufeng's calm words reached Situ Biao's ears, but they couldn't help but send a chill down Situ Biao's back. Not many people knew about my mother's natal family even in the imperial court. As for the source of funds to support my uncle's family, a large part of it came from running the ceramics business, which is even less known. This Li Wufeng's sense of smell is so sensitive, This can't help but make Situ Biao feel a little shocked.

Although Situ Biao's face didn't change much, Wufeng had already noticed the momentary loss of consciousness, "Your Highness, don't be suspicious, who supported me, I should at least find out about his situation, are you right? Isn't that right?" Li Wufeng had a sly smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Lord Li is very well informed!" Situ Biao had completely returned to normal, and patted Wufeng's shoulder with a smile, "It's easy to talk to smart people. I can persuade them to come here to invest, but How do you solve the problem of the sale of goods here, that is, the problem of the commercial route? Although the Luobei people are newly defeated, your power has no advantage for them~IndoMTL.com~ What's more, there is a long section of the northern route. within their range."

Wufeng also admired Situ Biao's ability to adapt. Not only did he immediately return to normal, but he also pointed out the key to his own suggestions. If he didn't give him a reasonable explanation, it would be difficult to win his trust. .

"Don't worry, Your Highness, if I'm not sure about this, how dare I make this suggestion in front of Your Highness? To tell you the truth, I have already reached a preliminary agreement with the Luobei people on the passage of trade routes. It is an agreement with great benefits in both aspects, and I think the Luobei people will probably abide by this agreement before they are absolutely sure of defeating us." Wufeng blinked and revealed this explosive news lightly.

Situ Biao was a little shocked and a little surprised. It is the power of the central government of the empire to make a foreign contract. No matter what level of government it is, the local government has no right to make decisions. Even the Sanjiang Lin family or the Tiannan Lang family have not dared to try it. It's easy to **** off Imperial Central. And this person said it without caring, isn't he afraid that outsiders will know?

After being silent for a while, Situ Biao raised his head and looked at Li Wufeng's eyes, which were still calm and unwavering, "Master Li, isn't he afraid that I will go back and inform you?"

Smiled silently, revealing a mouthful of dazzling white teeth, "As you said just now, your Highness, you don't need to hide when you talk to smart people. The harm done to me will not bring any benefits to Your Highness. The combination of interests is enough to overwhelm you. Everything, both of us need each other, which is the premise for me to tell you this news."

An inexplicable complex emotion quietly spread in Situ Biao's heart. Whether dealing with Li Wufeng was a wise choice or a stupid decision, a sentence suddenly popped up in his mind: "Dances with wolves! "
