From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 779

"Why do we have to walk in front of everyone?"

Zhou Yuan and the Virgin Sister rode on the same horse. Zhou Yuan held the reins with both hands and held her in his arms.

Li Yu'an leaned against her comfortably, smiling in the sunshine: "Because I don't like people blocking our way and affecting my view of the scenery."

Zhou Yuan said: "Aren't you afraid that others will see you being held by me like a wanton girl?"

Li Yu'an chuckled and said: "It would be better if everyone saw it. Who would care."

Zhou Yuan asked: "Master hasn't come back yet, why did you come back early?"

Li Yu'an said: "I miss you. Are you satisfied? You see, I can also say happy words."

Zhou Yuan was indeed very happy. The Virgin Sister's feeling around made him feel so solid and comfortable.

He smiled and said, "Are you worried that something might happen to me when I go south?"

Li Yu'an said, "Yes, my little man is always so worrying. Guns and cannons on the sea are more terrifying than swords on land. I have to accompany you."

Zhou Yuan said, "Are you tired of rushing back to Shenjing all the way?"

Li Yu'an smiled and said, "How can a woman being held by someone be tired? Not to mention that he is a prince."

"I said... Prince, the emperor in the palace seems to have become a real woman."

Zhou Yuan looked strange: "How do you know this?"

"I asked."

She giggled: "After all, you left, I have to ask her which way you took."

Zhou Yuan said, "What did she say?"

"She was extremely ashamed and angry."

Li Yu'an tilted her head and said softly, "Obviously she misunderstood something. At the same time, my little nephew, you seem to have tried something bad to her."

Zhou Yuan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed Awkward, so he thought about changing the subject: "Then can I do something bad to you? At least it won't destroy your vitality."

Li Yu'an was not ashamed, but amused: "How can you bear to treat your uncle like this?"

"If you want me to do everything you want, that's not impossible, wait until the battle at sea is over."

Zhou Yuan asked in confusion: "When did you care about these things? What I mean is, you never seem to link this kind of thing with serious matters, playing the game of playing hard to get."

Li Yu'an thought for a while, then smiled: "The battlefield is not other places, you are still young, what if you get excited and want to fight for your life?"

"The situation in the south, I don't think it's so easy to deal with, in order to calm you down, I have to play the game of playing hard to get, so that you don't cherish your life."

"Only if you survive can you get me, isn't this a motivation to survive."

Zhou Yuan was silent instead.

It seems that the Virgin Sister also saw that the situation in the south was really not optimistic.

Naval battles, naval battles, the Jin Dynasty is so far behind.

Fuzhou Baochuan Factory can build ships and guns, but it cannot produce naval technology and experience, nor can it produce talents and generals.

The early stages of things are always accompanied by pain, and I just hope that the price can be smaller.

"Don't worry, sister, I cherish my life, and I know what to do."

Hearing his words, Li Yu'an just covered her mouth and smiled, without saying a word.

Just a moment later, she fell asleep in Zhou Yuan's arms.

Only God knows how tired she was on her way back to Shenjing, and she had very little time to close her eyes.

Zhou Yuan stopped the horse, carried her back to the car, held her hand, and thought quietly.

The situation in the south mainly involves solving several key problems.

First, how to deal with McPherson and Haojing, fight directly? Or negotiate conditions?

Second, regarding the issue of trading ports, should we drive the foreigners out, kill them all, or negotiate conditions?

Third, should we go to Fuzhou Treasure Shipyard first, or Ningbo first? The island pirates in the latter are already extremely arrogant and need to be dealt with urgently, but without the support of Fuzhou Treasure Shipyard, I am afraid that we can't kill them all.

Fourth, what role will the Dutch on Dongfan Island play in this drama?

Fifth, regarding exports, Chaozhou merchants have hoarded a large number of goods, silk, cloth, porcelain, and salt, and are eager to exchange for money. Should we deal with the export goods problem first, or fight first?

These five problems have derived many small problems, each of which is very complicated and will have chain-like consequences.

He was concerned about various problems and never made up his mind, but the arrival of the Virgin Sister made him feel suddenly enlightened and his mind gradually became clear.

Whether it is export or suppression of pirates, whether it is to solve the problem of trading ports or the problem of Haojing, everything depends on the ship.

Without a ship, nothing can be discussed, everything is false.

The first thing to do is to revive the Guangdong Sea Navy and put all the ships of Fuzhou Baochuan Factory to sea.

So what position should I assign myself this time?

Governor of Fujian and Guangdong and admiral of the Guangdong Sea Navy!

Guan LuzaiThey did a great job over there, and the infiltration was successful. In addition, his prestige is no longer comparable to that of the past, so it should not be difficult to revive the navy.

While getting familiar with the warships, he can also meet with Kolodia and Chaoshang to discuss the subsequent export issues.

As for actual combat, let's practice with the island pirates.

Zhou Yuan will not allow any of them to go back alive.

Just thinking about this, he felt the little hand in his hand move.

So he looked down and saw that the Virgin Sister was looking at him with her eyes open and shining.

Zhou Yuan smiled, bent down and kissed her, and said, "Why are you awake again?"

Li Yu'an sat up, tidied her clothes, blinked and said, "Did you take advantage of me while I was asleep?"

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said, "No, I'm a gentleman."

"That's disappointing."

Li Yu'an smiled and said, "Old women always sleep less when they are old. You have to get used to it."

Zhou Yuan said, "The Taoist practice is very successful and can live to a hundred years old. You are still young."

Li Yu'an said, "I don't want to live that long. I'm afraid I won't have any teeth left. I'm so ugly."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "I don't just like your face."

Li Yu'an said, "If I look like Xiaozhuang, will you still like me?"

Zhou Yuan was stunned.

He always had a feeling that people around him were talking about Xiaozhuang for no reason recently!

Why!

He pressed his forehead and murmured, "If you really become like that, I will also bite my teeth and admit it."

Li Yu'an raised her eyebrows and said, "You really... do you really have feelings for her?"

God, don't make me happy.

Zhou Yuan hurriedly hugged her and said, "Don't mention it, don't mention it, I haven't seen you for a long time, let's be intimate."

Li Yu'an looked at his embarrassed look and couldn't help but giggle.

She touched Zhou Yuan's face and smiled, "Little nephew, do you remember the first time we met? At that time in Lingyin Temple, you talked about the situation of Dajin and boasted that you would help me restore my country within five years."

"I didn't trust you at that time, but I just thought it was better than nothing. It was not until I went to the Central Plains that I believed that you might really help me restore my country."

"Now... three years have passed, and you are already the Zhongwu King of Dajin, with great power and outstanding military achievements."

"It seems that you don't need to wait five years to help me restore my country."

At this point, she paused slightly and whispered, "At that time, you were in a low position and had little influence, but you were extremely confident. Now that you are in a high position, you are not confident. Why?"

"It's hard on the sea, but will it really make you fall?"

"Even if you lose, will the Great Jin Dynasty perish?"

"Do those thousands of foreign barbarians have the ability to land and invade the Great Jin Dynasty?"

"The more successful a person is, the more he fears failure. Is this true for martial arts and the way of the military?"

At the end, she couldn't help laughing and said, "If you ask me, you will be invincible and unstoppable when you go to the south."

"The maritime hegemony of the Great Jin Dynasty started with you and was born from you. It will cover the whole world."

"If you do it, my sister and I will serve you together. This is what she... promised herself."

Her eyes seemed to be shining, and she said softly, "Come on, young man!"
