Liu Yunxiang insisted on staying in Wanchun Garden and rejected Li Huai's hospitality. Li Huai was a little unhappy, but he did not dare to say anything more.

"The scenery of Wanchun Garden is nice, but it's just not as clean as at home." Mrs. Li paused after saying this, "Especially because you have a high status, you can't be careless about safety. How about this, my husband will send a few more guards to guard the palace where the princess lives.

That courtyard. By the way, we need to send some servants there to serve, to provide for food and clothing, everything must be thoughtful and meticulous."

"Mrs. Li, there's really no need to bother."

"It's what you want. Besides, there's something wrong with you in Yanzhou. We can't explain it to His Highness Seventh Prince."

Liu Yunxiang's mind changed, he nodded and said with a smile: "Okay then."

However, she asked Li Huai and his wife not to reveal her identity, "I came to Yanzhou to do business. It is not very convenient to have the status of Princess Zhenbei."

Li Huai and Mrs. Li promised that they would keep it safe and would not leak it out.

When I came to Wanchun Garden, I heard that Liu Yunxiang was going to live there, and the senior officials were very enthusiastic. I also saw Mrs. Li busy with her work, assigning guards to the garden, and calling in servants to serve, so I couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

"I'm sorry for my limited knowledge, but I wonder who your house is?"

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "I came to Yanzhou actually to do business."

"Doing business?"

"Gao Yuan is a cloth merchant. He should know that the brocade industry in Jiangnan was very prosperous in the past. The brocade silk and satin produced was famous in all the countries in the ten directions, not to mention Da Rong. Since the Nanzhou riots, the brocade industry in Jiangnan has been very prosperous.

It suffered heavy losses and is still sluggish to this day. I bought a brocade workshop in Jiangnan and wanted to revitalize the brocade industry in Jiangnan. However, my own strength was weak, so I thought about cooperating with some cloth merchants."

Liu Yunxiang did have this purpose in coming to Yanzhou. There is also a local textile industry in Yanzhou, which mainly produces coarse cloth and cotton cloth, suitable for ordinary people to buy. However, Yanzhou also has Yan brocade, which is characterized by gorgeous colors. She has seen it once.

It is as if woven by colorful clouds, it is very stunning. However, Yan brocade is not well-known. It is not as good as Shu brocade and Yun brocade. It is difficult to see it in silk and satin shops in other places.

"Do you know the boss of Luoxia Cloth Shop, a senior member of the Communist Party of China?"

The senior official raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you want to cooperate with her?"

"Yes, I heard that Luoxia Cloth Co., Ltd. has its own workshop specializing in the production of Yan brocade."

"I do know him."

Liu Yunxiang's face was filled with joy, "I would like to ask the senior member to introduce me to you."

Gao Yuanwai had a bulging belly and scratched the back of his head, seeming a little embarrassed. Hongxuan put in a good word for Liu Yunxiang and asked Gao Yuanwai to help him.

"Since the Taoist Master said it, I will go up to the mountain of swords and the sea of ​​fire to definitely help you."

The corner of Liu Yunxiang's mouth twitched. She just asked him to do a favor, and it was a small favor. Why would he go up the mountain of swords and go down into the sea of ​​fire?

The room was tidied up and Liu Yunxiang had just sat down when Mrs. Li came again. She changed her clothes, and her outer clothes were as bright as the rosy clouds, and seemed to emit light when she moved around.

"The color of Mrs. Li's clothes is so beautiful."

Mrs. Li was overjoyed and immediately became a little confused, "It depends on who wears it... ahem, of course it will look better if the princess wears it."

Liu Yunxiang smiled and said, "Is this fabric Yan brocade?"

"The princess knows the goods, it's Yan brocade."

"I wonder where Mrs. Li bought it?"

"The Luoxia Cloth Exhibition."

Liu Yunxiang nodded and was about to ask a few more questions when Mrs. Li directed the maid behind her to put a food box up. When the food box was opened, a strong oily smell stood on the floor. Liu Yunxiang felt nauseous immediately.

Since becoming pregnant, she has been eating food that is not too oily and cannot smell the oily smell.

"Ah, Princess, what's wrong with you?" Mrs. Li hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern.

Liu Yunxiang waved his hand and pointed at the food box, asking Zijin to take it farther away.

Mrs. Li exclaimed, "This is Yanzhou's famous fried sugar bun. It's freshly baked. I brought it to you while it's still hot. Don't you like it?"

"I can't eat anything heavy these days."

Mrs. Li looked at Liu Yunxiang, thought for a moment, and asked, "Are you happy?"

Liu Yunxiang shook his head and smiled, "No, I just have a bad stomach lately."

"That's it." Mrs. Li asked the maids to put away the food boxes and let them take them outside.

Liu Yunxiang had been running around all day, and after being pregnant, she couldn't eat well and her energy couldn't keep up. At this moment, she only felt tired and yawned repeatedly, but Mrs. Li was reminiscing with her about the past.

"Mrs. Li, it's almost time for dinner." Liu Yunxiang reminded.

"No, I ordered a table of food at Tian'an Building. Do you think we should go there and eat it or let them bring it here?"

Liu Yunxiang had no choice but to say: "I'm tired, let's talk about it another day."

Mrs. Li's smile froze for a moment, then she forced a smile and said, "Let's do it tomorrow then. I'm preparing a banquet at home and invited several wives of local officials in Yanzhou. You can join me, too."

Just when Liu Yunxiang was about to refuse, Mrs. Li said again: "Don't worry, your identity will not be revealed. Moreover, these ladies have many connections. If you want to do business in Yanzhou, you must deal with them."

Liu Yunxiang thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's fine."

After sending Mrs. Li away, Liu Yunxiang had a simple dinner and then lay down in bed to rest.

The next day, Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin to go to Qu Moran's place first and learned that Li Zhu had not shown up yet.

"Doctor Qu is very worried about him," Zijin said.

"Maybe I should tell her the truth."

If Li Zhu will never come back, the more expectations he has, the greater the damage will be.

Hongxuan wanted to visit a place called Qixian below Yanzhou. There was a drought here last spring. The memorial reported by Yang He said that the rice seedlings were dead and there was no harvest, and tens of thousands of people needed food relief.

"Yang He wanted the imperial court to provide relief, but after three years of riots, the grain depots were all empty in order to raise military pay. He made three memorials in a row, but all three were suppressed. In the end, the imperial court did not give a single grain of relief grain to Qixian County.

." Hongxuan said, stroking his beard.

Xue Changfeng's eyes widened, "The grain depot is empty. We can let other places provide relief first. Even if it is to offset next year's taxes and grain first, we have to find a way. We can't just watch the people starve to death, right?"

Hongxuan shook his head, "The emperor suppressed the statement, and all the officials covered their eyes and closed their ears, asking questions or not listening."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "Last spring, His Highness Seventh Prince and I just returned to Beijing, and we really didn't know about this."

"The princess donated 100,000 kilograms of food last year, which is already a great merit. There are many people suffering in Da Rong, and no matter how great your ability is, you can't help them."

Xue Changfeng gritted his teeth, "The people are the foundation of the country. A court that doesn't care about the life and death of the people is like a beam that begins to rot and will collapse sooner or later!"

Hongxuan took a deep breath and said, "If you want to avoid collapse, you have to build a new beam and remove the rotten one."
