There are always bad guys who want to attack me

Chapter 209 Taiping's Ambition

Although all countries suspected that Daliang's move was of bad intentions, in the end, they all sent envoys to sign an agreement with Daliang, agreeing that Daliang would send a caravan to them.

However, they also have conditions, one of which is that Daliang's caravan can only operate in the places they stipulated.

Obviously, all countries are also guarding against the big beam.

Regarding this, although Daliang's person in charge of negotiating agreed, he still bargained a lot.

Although the negotiation process was particularly bloody and bloody, in the end, the content of the agreement satisfied both parties.

Just like the establishment of mutual markets in Daliang, countries will also set aside some places for Liang people to establish commercial streets.

The money for the construction of the commercial street has to be paid by the Liang people themselves, and the commercial street built cannot violate local taboos.

The countries were worried about losing money, so they made the agreement very detailed. Fortunately, Daliang was also an expert in negotiating, so they didn't take advantage of it at all.

If the agreement is certain, this matter will be considered a success.The next step is to send people to various countries to build commercial streets, and then send caravans.

Naturally, Gao Zixin and Feng Xuan don't need to be responsible for these small matters, the people below can handle them properly.

When this matter was settled, the weather gradually turned cold.

Thus, the Empress Dowager He, who had been secretly living in the Northeast, returned to the capital under Taiping's personal escort.

Originally, she wanted to come back earlier, after all, there was no way to celebrate Gao Zixin's birthday when she came back now.

But there is no way, the two children are too young to live without her.And once she returns to the palace before Gao Zixin's birthday, she must preside over the palace banquet and receive the female relatives.

At that time, there will be many people in the palace, and it will be difficult to hide the existence of the two children.

So despite feeling extremely guilty, the He family still couldn't rush back to the capital to celebrate Gao Zixin's birthday.

Fortunately, Gao Zixin didn't care too much.

He is no longer a child, shouldering the burden of the entire country, accompanied by Fengxuan and Bao'er, Gao Zixin is no longer the poor prince who is trembling and needs to watch people's faces.

On his birthday, he no longer looked forward to the Longevity Noodles made by He Shi himself like in the past.

On the contrary, after the He family secretly returned to the palace, he personally made longevity noodles for Gao Zixin as compensation for his absence.Gao Zixin ate with smiles all over his face, and Taiping felt extremely unhappy.

As soon as Tai Ping saw Gao Zixin's extremely satisfied appearance, he regretted it in his heart.When he thought that he had never eaten the longevity noodles made by He's own hands, he felt sour in his heart.

Thinking about how in his previous life he had never dared to get too close to He Shi and Gao Zixin in order to guard against that damned stupid monarch system, and missed so many longevity noodles made by He Shi himself, he felt even more uncomfortable.

So when Gao Zixin finished eating the noodles, Taiping kicked him out very unceremoniously.

Gao Zixin, who was an eyesore, finally left, and Taiping walked up to Mrs. He with a sad face, and said pitifully, "Ling'er never made longevity noodles for me."

He Shi gave him a speechless look, how old is he, and he is still jealous with his son, is it embarrassing?

Taiping snorted confidently, and directly expressed to He Shi with his attitude - he didn't feel ashamed of doing this at all!

He Shi was so annoyed by him that he had no choice but to make him a bowl of longevity noodles.Taiping was very satisfied after eating, but after eating, he started to ask: "Ling'er, your craftsmanship is really good, you will make it for me every year from now on."

After he finished speaking, seeing He Shi looking at him coldly with a bad attitude, he immediately added: "I...I will make it for you too."

Taiping has never cooked food, not even entered the kitchen.But after he said this, it was rare for him to seriously think about the possibility of this matter - it shouldn't be difficult to do it, right?

He Shi was very surprised when he heard what he said, she gave Taiping a funny look, until Taiping's heart was frightened, and then said: "That's a deal, you are not allowed to go back on your word."

"When...Of course! I...I keep my word!"

Taiping actually regretted it just now, but after hearing He Shi's words, he still gritted his teeth and agreed.

Even though he was used to a life of rich clothes and fine food in his previous life, because he has been forced by the system to be a foolish king, even if he hugs and cuddles, drinks and delicacies, and is accompanied by beauties all day long, Taiping still feels extremely unhappy, and instead looks like a puppet on a string like.

So ever since he got rid of the system of the faint king and was reborn as a human being, Taiping wanted to live a different life.

From a literary point of view, he wants to experience a different life.

So even though he had never been in the kitchen before, Taiping still wanted to give it a try.What's more, this is He Shi's request, how could he refuse?

Seeing his expression of being terrified but still gritting his teeth and agreeing, He Shi couldn't help laughing happily.

She was well maintained and looked much younger than her actual age.Ever since Taiping reincarnated as a human being and was with her again, He Shi's whole person has changed.

If she used to look young only because of maintenance, now she looks young from the inside out.There was no sadness or longing in her eyes anymore, instead a smile appeared on her face from time to time, as if the whole person had returned to the most beautiful time in the [-]th youth.

Taiping didn't expect that he would make He Shi so happy just by saying a word, and at the same time as he was surprised, he suddenly felt guilty.

Thinking of the previous life, because of the damn system of the stupid monarch, he deliberately alienated the He family, let the He family stay alone in the empty boudoir, and washed his face with tears, Taiping felt that he was really an asshole.

He fixedly looked at He Shi, who was smiling with crooked eyebrows, and secretly made up his mind - he would spend his whole life to make up for this woman, as long as he made her happy, he would do anything!

So on the second day, Taiping sneaked to the small kitchen of the Compassion Ning Palace and forced the cook to teach him how to make noodles.

The cook was startled at first, but then he compromised tremblingly.

Soon the cook discovered that Taiping studied very seriously.But no matter how serious he is, he can't change the cruel fact that he is a kitchen killer!

Either the basin was overturned during dough mixing, or too much water was added to make a batter, or too little water resulted in flour flying everywhere.

After tossing and tossing for an hour, countless good flour was wasted, and Taiping couldn't make noodles!

The cooks were about to cry when they saw the good flour that was ruined by Taiping. Those are all good things, and they were just ruined like this!

Looking at Taiping again, his whole body is covered in flour, except for a pair of dark eyes. Although his appearance is funny, those eyes are deadly!

So even though the cooks were heartbroken, they still didn't dare to accuse Taiping of wasting things, and only secretly sent someone to report.

So in the end, Taiping was taken away by He Shi who came to the kitchen in person.

On the way out of the kitchen, Taiping was still a little dissatisfied: "I'm going to succeed." Taiping firmly believed that as long as he tried a few more times, he would definitely succeed.

There's no reason why a weak woman like He Ling can make such delicious noodles, but a big man like him can't?

He can even kill Tartars, so how could the little noodles be hard for him?

As a result, after walking a few steps, Taiping suddenly saw two people standing in front of him, his whole body became stiff instantly, and he wished he could dig a hole in the ground.

Damn...damn it!Why did Gao Zixin and Bao'er come here?What are they doing here?

Taiping suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

What else could Gao Zixin and Bao'er be here for?Of course I came to see Taiping's jokes!Ever since he got the news, Gao Zixin secretly brought Bao'er to watch the show!

So Gao Zixin couldn't help laughing when he saw Taiping's face covered in flour.On the contrary, Bao'er looked at Taiping curiously, and felt that this strange person looked very familiar!

As soon as Taiping saw Gao Zixin laughing suddenly, he exploded with rage, wishing to beat up Gao Zixin, an unfilial son.But when he saw Baoer's sizing eyes, Taiping suddenly panicked.

No, no, he has to find a place to hide, so that Bao'er can't recognize him!Otherwise, his image of being wise and mighty would be gone!

As a result, he was looking for a place to hide when Bao'er walked towards him curiously.

Normally, Bao'er would never do this, but now that Gao Zixin and He Shi are here, he is naturally very courageous, and he is not at all afraid that this strange white-faced man in front of him is a weirdo!

As soon as Taiping saw Bao'er approaching, he quickly hid behind He Shi.But he is tall, and although He Shi is not short, he is slender, how could he be able to stop him?

When he hides, Bao'er becomes even more suspicious.

He raised his head and looked at Taiping curiously. He always felt that this strange man looked familiar, so he asked curiously, "Who are you? Do I know you?"

"I don't know!" Taiping said resolutely, and he regretted it a little after he finished speaking. Was the tone just a little too blunt?It won't scare Bo'er, right?

As a result, when he looked at Bao'er worriedly, he saw Bao'er's black eyeballs rolling, and suddenly laughed: "Ah! I know who you are! You are..."

Tai Ping didn't look well, and felt that he bent down and blocked Bao'er's mouth, and nervously leaned into Bao'er's ear and said, "My dear Bao'er, don't say it!"

Bao'er looked at him with a smile and nodded slightly, but when Taiping let go of his hand, Bao'er asked expectantly: "Father said you are going to make noodles, are the noodles ready?"

After speaking, Bao'er patted his stomach suggestively, indicating that he came here to eat noodles specially!

Taiping's whole body stiffened immediately, and he glared at Gao Zixin with fiery eyes—who told you to talk nonsense to Bao'er!

At this time, why remind him about the noodles!

second bud

The turmoil in the palace did not affect Daliang's progress. In fact, as Daliang developed better and better, the whole Daliang glowed with a rare vitality.

With the continuous promotion of high-yield grain in Daliang, Gao Zixin paid for the repair of the canal and dam in the capital, and today's Daliang is no longer the former Daliang.

There are fewer and fewer famines, and the high-yield grain and cotton have saved more and more people from suffering from hunger and cold.

Coupled with the construction of schools and the continuous development of commerce, the girders go up and down, whether it is the emperor at the top or the peddlers at the bottom, they are full of hope for the future.

Nowadays, it is not even necessary for people with good intentions to publicize Gao Zixin's achievements. Gao Zixin's prestige among the people is still getting higher and higher.

Even more and more people are keen to put a longevity tablet of Gao Zixin at home, and worship devoutly every day, hoping that Gao Zixin can live a long life and let their good days continue.

These people don't even have great ambitions and extravagant expectations, because today's days are already beyond their dreams.

However, Gao Zixin soon let them know that there is no best, only better!

After the new year, the winter snow gradually melts, and as the buds climb up the branches, spring comes again.

And just after the harvest of the new year, the fleet that Gao Zixin had been secretly preparing was finally ready and ready to set sail.

The people leading the team are all Gao Zixin and Feng Xuan's confidantes, including Zheng Yuan.

Zheng Yuan took the initiative to ask to accompany him. Ever since his relationship with Qian Bi eased and he even met Qian's family, Zheng Yuan realized that his status was still too low.

If he wanted to be with Qian Bi, he had to be recognized by the Qian family, so this time, he took a risk and chose to accompany him.

This is the first time for the fleet to go to sea, which is of great significance. If you miss this opportunity, you don’t know when you will meet again next time.

What's more, he had promised Gao Zixin and Feng Xuan to be loyal to Gao Zixin and Feng Xuan for the seed of the tree of life.He comes from later generations, and his knowledge is not comparable to that of today's people. With him traveling with the fleet, they should be able to gain even more!

Qian Bi disagreed at first, but after seeing Zheng Yuan's insistence, he wanted to be with Zheng Yuan.However, Zheng Yuan not only refused to agree, but also forced him to stay honest and plant trees in Daliang, which made Qian Bi and Zheng Yuan fight coldly for a long time.

However, on the day when the fleet went to sea, Qian Bi personally saw Zheng Yuan off.

Standing in front of Zheng Yuan, while no one else was paying attention, he quietly stretched out his hand, pinched the soft flesh of Zheng Yuan's body, and warned in a low voice: "Be quiet outside, do you hear me?"

Zheng Yuan smiled and nodded, at this moment, he really didn't know how to speak.He was afraid that once he opened his mouth, he would be reluctant to part with Qian Bi.

But Qian Bi was reluctant and kept warning.

"You are not allowed to flirt outside!"

Zheng Yuan nodded obediently.

"Pay attention to safety, don't cause trouble outside!"

Zheng Yuan continued to nod.

Seeing that he just nodded and refused to say a word, Qian Bi felt angry and worried at the same time.

"You..." He opened his mouth lightly, struggled for a while, and then continued, "You must come back alive, otherwise...or I will marry someone else!"

The last warning was really too bad. When Zheng Yuan, who was originally restless, heard this, his face changed instantly, becoming extremely gloomy.

He firmly grabbed Qian Bi's hand, and asked viciously, "Who else do you want to marry?"

Looking at him like this, Qian Bi suddenly felt guilty, but he still said forcefully: "You...you don't care who I marry, anyway...anyway, if you dare...don't come back intact, I...I Just marry someone else!"

"Don't even think about it for the rest of your life!" Zheng Yuan stared at him fiercely, if it wasn't for the concern that this place is still outside and there are people around, he would have wanted to kill him!

"I will come back alive, don't marry anyone else, wait for me!" Before leaving, Zheng Yuan left these words, took a deep look at Qian Bi, and went out to sea with the fleet.

Qian Bi stood at the pier, watching the huge ship going away, until the huge ship got farther and farther away, and finally disappeared into a small black spot on the sea, then he clenched his fists and said in a low voice: "Zheng Yuan, what's your last time?" So that I can come back alive!"

After this day, Qian Bi suddenly became busy and became a workaholic.

Gao Zixin looked at him who only knew about work all day long, and felt a little guilty in his heart.If he didn't agree, it was impossible for Zheng Yuan to go to sea with the fleet.

It's just that his guilt was suppressed by Feng Xuan just after he was born.

Feng Xuan is becoming more and more domineering now, and Gao Zixin is not allowed to think about others at all, even if it is just guilt!

What he said was very righteous: "Zheng Yuan went to sea because of his ambition, what does it have to do with you? Even if you want to feel guilty, it should be Qian Yong. What are you guilty of?"

The so-called actual leader of Jin Yiwei, almost nothing in this world can be hidden from Feng Xuan's eyes.

Of course he knew about Zheng Yuan being made things difficult at the Qian family.

For this, Feng Xuan has no sympathy at all.He had sacrificed so much to be with Gao Zixin back then, what was Zheng Yuan worth?

It's just out to sea.As long as he comes back smoothly this time, there is no need to talk about his future in the future.

So Feng Xuan felt that Zheng Yuan should be grateful to him and Gao Zixin for their kindness!

Gao Zixin was quickly persuaded by Feng Xuan, and the little guilt in his heart dissipated.Afterwards, he summoned Qian Bi with great peace of mind.

Over the past few months, the commercial streets built by Daliang in surrounding countries have taken shape. With the continuous exchange of caravans and more and more business, Qian Bi, the director of the General Administration of Commerce, took it for granted that he was busy like a spinning top.

After a long time, he actually lost a lot of weight, and he was no longer as chubby as before.But even though he has lost weight, that bun face is still a bun face, looking like a child, it is easy to let people take it lightly.

Only those who have been in contact with him know how terrifying this childlike director is!

There is no way, anyone who is confused by a innocent-looking and cute baby face, and finally has to bleed heavily, will leave a deep psychological shadow.

Even those old foxes in the State Administration of Commerce who didn't think much of Qian Bi at first gradually found that Qian Bi was becoming more and more difficult to deal with.

Qian Bi became more and more busy, and the surrounding countries gradually became more honest. At this moment, Gao Zixin and Feng Xuan suddenly discovered that the tree of life had grown a second bud!

The bud that had just grown was very small, and there was a very small opening. After Gao Zixin and Feng Xuan dripped their respective blood, the small opening closed instantly, as if it had never appeared before.

Immediately afterwards, that little flower bud became what Gao Zixin had seen before - as small as a peanut.

All the petals are tightly closed together, because they are too tightly closed, and even the gaps cannot be seen. If you don't look carefully, you can't see the traces of the petals at all.

After all, Gao Zixin had experienced it once. Although he was very excited, he was still calm.

Feng Xuan was different, he left in a hurry at the beginning and didn't find the flower buds at all, and then he kept fighting in Lingnan, until Bao'er was born, he didn't know the news, so he came back on purpose.

At that time, he had never even seen the shadow of a flower bud!

So this time, when he saw the peanut-sized bud, he was even more excited than Gao Zixin.Every day when he was free, he stood by the buds, glanced at them from time to time, and then involuntarily showed a faint gentle smile.

Feng Xuan's smile made Gao Zixin feel extremely unhappy, and even the excitement of having a second child was suppressed by his dissatisfaction.

Every day when Feng Xuan looked at the flower buds and "smirked", Gao Zixin stared at him sourly, completely forgetting that he was no different from Feng Xuan now.

The more Gao Zixin looked at it, the more dissatisfied he became, and finally he simply forced himself to ignore Feng Xuan and that little flower bud. He was afraid that if he was not careful, he would destroy the flower with his hands!

So Gao Zixin focused on other things.

Without much hesitation, Gao Zixin decided to build shelters in various places in Daliang.

There are actually shantangs in Daliang now, but the shantangs in various places are not very large-scale, and the management is loose.Therefore, Gao Zixin decided to build a shelter.

However, this shelter is different from the previous shantang.

Although they also take in those lonely old people or orphans who have not been adopted, the shelter does not just provide for them blindly, but also provides them with some jobs within their ability, so that they can also learn how to support themselves.

As the saying goes, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. Instead of turning people into useless people, it is better to let them have the ability to survive, so that they can leave the shelter in the future to live, instead of staying in the shelter for the rest of their lives. inside.

Gao Zixin is the Son of Heaven, so what he wants to do is naturally easier than others. As long as he has an idea and gives an order, there will naturally be more people to complete and supplement him, helping him to do things well.

So soon, shelters all over the country sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and they were built one after another.

As soon as the shelter was built, some wealthy local households donated money and materials one after another.Now that life is getting better and better, they are naturally not stingy with the little money for doing good deeds.

It didn't take long for the shelter to be built, and some people who couldn't make it through, gradually ran to seek refuge.

In the end, I don't know if it is really a virtue. Since the shelter was built, the weather in Daliang has been exceptionally smooth. Even those who donate money and materials feel that their lives seem to be getting better and better.

Ever since, more and more people donated money.

In the palace, Gao Zixin was overjoyed watching the reports sent from all over the world, but soon, his mind was refocused on the buds that were about to bloom.

Gao Zixin was a little nervous. Is it a son or a daughter this time?
