Since Bai Su said that he would help her wash away the shame of the past, it has been almost a month since she went out, and there has been no news for a long time, which made her feel a little bit of living today.

Now finally a letter arrived, which made her heart throb with uncontrollable "plop plop" nervousness.

Sister Zheng opened the letter and looked down: "Your Majesty, it has been a month since I was ordered to go to Dongying. Every night, I miss His Majesty and cannot sleep for a long time. My miss for His Majesty is like a torrent of rivers, endless... "

Looking at the sour and numbing love words, she couldn't help but rolled her eyes, and spat lightly: "It's still as glib as ever."

Although she said disgusting words, Sister Zheng was very honest physically, and she read every sentence of love without saying a word.

Fusu didn't know what was going on in her heart, but she just watched Sister Zheng's reaction, and found that her mother's relaxed expression from the beginning gradually became frowning at the end.

After a long time.

Only then did Sister Zheng put down the letter, and pondered: "No wonder this guy who has always been lazy, sent a letter back from a long distance. This is really a surprising event."

Fu Su asked curiously: "Could it be that Master Bai caught Xu Fu in Penglai Xiandao?"

Sister Zheng said with a slight smile: "Su'er is really smart. Bai Su not only captured the sinner Xu Fu in the local area, but also discovered an inexhaustible mountain of silver in the local area. According to his calculations, it is almost enough to mine for more than three or four hundred years. "

Enough to mine silver mountains for 400 years! ! !

Fu Su was stunned for a moment, and her vermilion lips parted slightly.

Even as the current princess, her head was buzzing with the heavy news.

You know, with the purchasing power of silver in the Central Plains today, five or six taels of silver is enough to feed and drink a family for a year.

The salaries of imperial officials are only more than 200 taels.

And Bai Su found a silver mountain that can be mined for 400 years directly overseas. What a huge amount of wealth this is, it almost made her doubt her life.

It took Fusu a long time to come back to his senses, and immediately he said excitedly: "My lord, let's quickly gather troops and horses to capture this Dongpu."

Sister Zheng stood up from the table and said with a smile: "Naturally, I will quickly call all civil and military officials to discuss the strategy of going to sea..."

Fu Su looked at the sister Zheng who was going away, and couldn't help shaking her head: "Mother is too anxious, but it's no wonder that such a huge windfall is in front of me, everyone is jealous."

"Pig... pig!!!"

At this time, a childish voice came from the side.

Fu Su lowered her eyes and saw the little girl combing her bun hair, playing with the copybook on the table with her little hands, talking indistinctly.

She squatted down, took the copybook from the little girl's hand and looked at it, couldn't help smiling and said, "Is Xiao Yinman learning how to read?"

The little girl nodded obediently.

Fu Su glanced at the two characters on the copybook above, and pointed with her slender jade finger: "These two characters are called Bai Su."

The little girl blinked her dark eyes, and murmured: "Bai...Bai Su."

A smile appeared on Fusu's fair and pretty face, and she couldn't help but nodded: "That's right, these two characters are pronounced as Baisu."

The little girl repeated: "Bai Su... my lord father..."

Fu Su was taken aback for a moment, and the smile froze on her face. She said with a sneer, "Xiao Yinman, you...you said something wrong."

The little girl shook her head slightly, and blinked her dark eyes: "I...I'm not wrong, Bai Su is...my father."

Fu Su stared blankly at the little girl in front of her, seeing her eyes somewhat similar to those of a rascal, and suddenly took a deep breath.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she turned her head to look in the direction where Sister Zheng left: "Bai Su is my father, so isn't that little cunt that scoundrel, with... no... no way."

Chapter 450 Questioning Between Mother and Daughter

in the hall.

Hundreds of officials were located under it one after another, looking at each other in blank dismay, discussing non-stop.

Prime Minister Li Si was in front of the officials. She glanced at Wang Jian next to her, raised her slender eyebrows, and thought to herself, it seems that there is something important to announce today.

Since the world has been in peace for a long time, the imperial court has not had such a big battle for a long time.

Especially Wang Jian, an old fox, is now almost in a state of semi-retirement, eating, drinking and having fun in the mansion every day, rarely involved in government affairs.

But today, this old fritter who seldom goes to court, was also summoned by the order of the political sister. Obviously there is some big news to announce.

"Your Majesty is coming..."

Just when everyone was wondering and guessing, the voice of the messenger came from outside the door.

Sister Zheng was dressed in a black dragon robe embroidered with golden patterns, walking slowly with a jade crown on her head, spread her arms with wide sleeves, sat down on the dragon chair, and her every move was full of grace and luxury .

"I will wait to see Your Majesty."

All the ministers bowed their hands in salute.

Sister Zheng waved her hand lightly: "Wait up, you."

The officials got up one after another, and one of the officials couldn't bear it, and asked tentatively: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, he called me here today, but what's important to announce?"

As her voice fell, everyone's eyes were focused on Sister Zheng for an instant.

Sister Zheng's vermilion lips curled slightly, and said calmly: "Just now I received a letter from Bai Su, saying that he has led the fleet to the legendary land of Dongpu, and captured the thief Xu Fu."

"At the same time, a silver mine that far exceeded the scale of the Central Plains was discovered in the local area. It is like an inexhaustible mountain of silver. I wonder what you think about this?"

quiet!

Deathly silence.

The pupils of Li Si, Wang Jian and others shrank.

The rest of the officials were not much better, even Liu Ji, Fan Kui and others, who had supported Bai Su all the year round, were still full of confusion at this moment.

They never expected that Bai Su would be so vicious. Not only did they capture Xu Fu back then, but he also found the legendary fairy land where silver and gold were used to build palaces.

Bai Su wouldn't confiscate the legendary fairy's house, would he?

Otherwise, how could there be so much silver?

Sister Zheng looked at the dull expressions of all the officials, and the corner of her mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

After all, she was so proud to have such a reliable courtier and husband.

He knows how to govern the country and can help her make money.

It also helped her wash away the shame, and allowed her to trust her wholeheartedly. Is there any more perfect relationship in the world than a monarch and minister, or a husband and wife.

After Li Si was stunned for a moment, she came back to her senses and asked tentatively: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, is this news true?"

The rest of the officials also cast their gazes over.

No wonder they were skeptical, it was because the news was too shocking.

After all, this inexhaustible mountain of silver can only be found in folk myths and legends.

The corners of Sister Zheng's lips twitched slightly, and she immediately said, "That's right, this news is true. According to Bai Su's heart, according to the current trade volume in the Central Plains, even if it takes three to four hundred years to mine silver in the East, Can't finish digging."

hiss! ! !

Everyone suddenly took a breath of air-conditioning, and the atmosphere at this time was about to boil.

"I didn't expect there to be such a rich land overseas, a mountain of silver. If we bring it back to the Central Plains, wouldn't the national treasury no longer be short of money?"

"If you want to bring them back, you need a boat. Let me see, Mr. Bai is wise and powerful. He saw the importance of going to sea early, and invested a large amount of money in advance to build a fleet."

"I remember that Mr. Bai asked the shipyard to issue stocks back then. Those who bought the stocks could also enjoy dividends and interest. If Mr. Bai's fleet brought back the silver mines, then these people would also get rich. "

"Oh, Mr. Bai is too out of touch. Why didn't you mention it to me when I was short of money? Even if I lost everything, I still want to support Mr. Bai's plan. Why go to those small businessmen."

"Come on, you, you are jealous when you see people getting rich. If you didn't accidentally find a silver mine, and just go to capture Xu Fu, would you still be willing?"

These ministers talked a lot and said everything, but there was one idea, and everyone had a consensus.

That is, Dongpu is a treasure land. As long as you support shipbuilding, you can send a large army to pick up money everywhere, and the silver is everywhere.

For a time, there was a wave of frenzy for sea trade in the whole court.

Even, many court officials are willing to take the initiative to contribute money to support the development of the court's navy business.

After a long time, Prime Minister Li Si stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, according to Mr. Bai's letter, Dongying is the largest island country in the world, and its territory is comparable to two hundred-yue lands."

"Such a large territory, close to some soldiers on the fleet, may not be able to manage it for a long time."

Some officials in the DPRK looked at each other in blank dismay, and the enthusiasm on their faces faded away.

Thinking about it carefully, I found that there are indeed many problems.

At the beginning, the Central Plains governed the land of Baiyue, but more than 50 people were relocated from the Central Plains. How should the land of Dongying, which is overseas, be governed now?

After all, this shipbuilding can be achieved by spending money, but the young and middle-aged population in the Central Plains, he can't change it for a while.

If you don't have enough labor, even if you find a silver mountain, you won't be able to move it back.

Sister Zheng smiled slightly: "You don't need to worry, Bai Su has already written the countermeasures in his letter."

Li Si was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "What's the plan?"

After pondering for a moment, Sister Zheng said, "There is a shortage of labor in the Central Plains, but they are dispatched from the Peacock Dynasty."

As she spoke, she briefly described how Baisu used the population of the Maurya Dynasty to transport it to Dongying to mine, collect sulfur, and then transport it back to the Central Plains, a triangular trade plan.

Dongying was responsible for providing silver, the Maurya Dynasty was responsible for providing labor, and the Central Plains was responsible for collecting money and exiling domestic criminals.

After hearing about this plan, the officials of the DPRK and China all had their eyes lit up.

It has to be said that this kind of triangular trade is not only profitable, but also extremely convenient to execute.

As for the immorality and smoke, they don't care at all.

After all, in the eyes of many officials in today's court, the Central Plains is the center of the civilized state in the world, and the rest of the outlying countries are just a group of barbarians who have not blossomed.

To deal with this group of barbarians, there is no need to pay attention to diplomatic etiquette, just use the kingly way to calm them down.

Sister Zheng looked at the one-heartedness that was rarely seen in civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty, and she couldn't help but smiled and said: "That's very good, I will make Bai Su the No. 1 naval commander, in charge of everything."

"As for how to expand the navy in the future, talent selection, and management, let's discuss it after he comes back."

"Yes."

All the ministers bowed their hands in salute.

After everyone retreated, Sister Zheng sat alone on the throne, looking at the contents of the letter, a smile appeared on her face.

Originally, after the imperial court's Western Expedition, the finances have gradually become tight, and the national treasury has become a little insufficient, but with this mountain of silver sent by Bai Su, the treasury will probably overflow in the future.

What a man who kept surprising her.

Just as Sister Zheng was contemplating, a burst of crisp footsteps came from outside.

She looked up and found a young girl in a white skirt walking towards her, it was Fu Su or someone else.

Fu Su cupped his hands and saluted, "My lord."

Sister Zheng put down the letter in her hand, and said with a smile: "It's Su'er, why are you here looking for me?"

Fu Suhao bit her red lips lightly with her teeth, hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised her head, staring at Sister Zheng closely with her dark eyes, and said, "I have something that I want to ask my lord."

Sister Zheng's white jade hands raised the blue hair between her eyebrows, she couldn't help laughing and said: "You have a serious face, what do you want to ask?"

Fu Su took a deep breath, and asked seriously: "Xiaoyinman... is she the daughter of you, my lord, and Lord Bai?"

The smile on Sister Zheng's face froze for a moment, then there was a trace of questioning in her phoenix eyes, she looked at Fu Su coldly, and said, "Who... did you listen to?"

Fu Su couldn't help but shuddered, but still mustered up his courage, and said, "Don't worry about how I know, I just want to ask my mother, is this news true?"

Sister Zheng raised her slender eyebrows slightly, and did not speak for a long time.

The entire hall fell into a deathly silence.

Chapter 450 It's my turn to bully him from now on

Sister Zheng's vermilion lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but facing Fusu's straight gaze, she couldn't utter a single word when the words came to her lips.

She closed her phoenix eyes slightly, leaned back on the seat, and sighed: "It's true..."

Fu Su's apricot pupils couldn't help but slightly widen, and she said in disbelief, "Ju...is it true..."

Although she already had some guesses in her mind based on some gossip before coming here, but when she actually heard her mother admit it, Fu Su still couldn't believe it.

For so many years, her mother has always looked majestic and glamorous in her heart.

She is also in awe of her mother, and has always regarded her as a role model to follow in her heart for many years, but now she feels a little collapsed.
