Luo Yechen received an edict sent by the emperor, immediately changed his clothes and took a carriage to Shanglinyuan.

He met the emperor in the palace.

Luo Qinghan couldn't help asking when he saw him looking dejected.

"Why do you look like this? What's wrong?"

Luo Yechen: "The princess asked me just now, saying that if she had difficulty giving birth, she could only have one child for adults and children. I asked me who to protect me? I said she was unhappy."

Luo Qinghan: "Then you just want to protect the child."

Luo Yechen: "I said it, but she became even more angry."

Luo Qinghan: "..."

Luo Yechen: "It's really hard to be a father."

Luo Qinghan: "..."

Luo Yechen: "Luckily, you haven't become a father yet."

Luo Qinghan: "..."

Luo Yechen: "I really envy you now. It's so relaxing if you have no children!"

Luo Qing said with a cold face: "Come on, let him out."

Luo Yechen quickly shouted, "Don't you call me here specifically. Don't you have any serious matters to tell me? You haven't even started talking about it yet!"

When Luo Qinghan thought that there was still somewhere to use him, he gritted his teeth and kept him.

Luo Yechen took the opportunity to get more and more aggressive: "I really want to have a drink now. I haven't drunk for a long time. Let's talk while drinking."

Luo Qinghan glanced at Eunuch Chang next to him.

Eunuch Chang understood and soon brought a pot of wine and three side dishes.

Luo Qinghan and Luo Yechen sat opposite each other.

Luo Yechen picked up the wine glass, took a deep breath, and said intoxicatedly: "What a wine!"

But the next moment he put down his glass.

He sighed and said, "What a pity. The princess is pregnant and can't smell alcohol. If I drink alcohol and go back, she will definitely teach me a lesson. I will still not drink it. Eunuch Chang, please pour me a cup of tea."

Luo Qinghan was once again shown off.

It's simply unpredictable!"

Eunuch Chang gave Luo Yechen a cup of tea.

He took a sip of tea, picked up the chopsticks, and asked while eating the food.

"Your Majesty summoned me specifically. Do you have any instructions?"

Luo Qinghan said with a wooden face: "The group of people who went out to sea have returned."

When he decided to develop the sea route, he had already sent people to the south to build ships and go to sea.

Luo Yechen's business is spread all over the country, and he has ready-made connections in the south, so Luo Yechen also got involved in going to sea.

Luo Yechen was surprised: "So fast?"

Luo Qinghan said indifferently: "This is their first time sailing. They are not familiar with each other and have not dared to go too far. In fact, it is a great blessing that they can come back safely this time."

There were many people who wanted to go out to sea, but most of them were rocks and rocks that went to the sea without going back.

The reason why the fleet sent by the emperor returned safely this time was due to Xiao Xixi.

She first told the fleet and pointed them in the direction so that they could have a smooth journey.

Of course, the people in the fleet did not know this. They all thought they were protected by the emperor, so their respect for the emperor was further improved.

Luo Yechen asked curiously: "Do they gain anything?"

Luo Qinghan: "They found several islands on the sea and found residents on one of the islands. However, because they could not speak language, they didn't know what each other was saying. In the end, there was no way. They could only bring a few island residents back and plan to study their language slowly."

It was said that I brought it back, but it was actually tied back.

Luo Yechen: "Is there any more?"

Luo Qinghan: "Our people also found an iron ore on one of the small islands."

Luo Yechen opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief: "Have you really discovered the iron ore? I said there was a gold mine on the sea before, but I thought it was a lie!"

Although iron ore is not as valuable as gold ore, iron ore is much more useful than gold ore.

Iron is not only a daily need for the people, but also can make weapons and horse harnesses and strengthen the army's equipment.

Several iron ore in China have been around for a long time. After so many years of mining, it is almost over. Now, such an iron ore has suddenly appeared, which is tantamount to solving a major problem in the Dasheng Dynasty!

As for why the fleet can find iron ore as soon as it sails?

Of course, it was because Xiao Xixi helped to point out the direction.

Even though they were thousands of miles apart, she could still calculate the fleet's sailing route through the astrological signs, so that they could find the treasures as much as possible while avoiding risks.

Luo Qinghan: "This iron ore is too important to me. I don't believe in anyone else. I only believe in you, so I can only send you to Wanhai City to personally supervise the mining of iron ore."

Luo Yechen was first moved by a fierce look, then was shocked again.

"You asked me to supervise the worker? No, my princess is pregnant, I have to be with her!"

Luo Qinghan: "I have calculated the time for you. If you set out tomorrow, if nothing unexpected happens, you should be able to come back before Princess Ying gave birth."

Luo Yechen: "But I..."

Luo Qinghan: "I know you can't bear to leave Princess Ying. To be honest, if this matter was not too important, I wouldn't have sent you to the south at this time. You should also know in your heart how important this iron ore is. If it is discovered by those aristocratic families, they will definitely want to take the opportunity to get a share of the pie. We can't give them this opportunity."

Luo Yechen was so entangled.

Of course he knew the importance of this new iron ore.

Almost all the existing iron ore are in the hands of the aristocratic families.

It is precisely because of this that they can even put people into the army.

If the emperor could firmly control the new iron ore in his own hands, it would be like pulling out a tooth of the aristocratic families and reducing their threat to imperial power.

Luo Qinghan: "I know that the people from the Wang family have contacted you privately."

Luo Yechen was shocked.

He didn't expect the emperor to suddenly mention this matter at this time.

The last time the emperor and the imperial concubine went to the British Palace together, the emperor had tested the British King, but the British King was vague.

He thought this matter had been revealed, but he never thought that the emperor had actually known it a long time ago.

Luo Qinghan: "The Wang family contacted you quietly through the Gao family. As for why they contacted you, I can probably guess."

Luo Yechen was afraid of being misunderstood, so he quickly explained.

"Wang Qian has indeed found me. He wanted me to plead for Wang Kai, but I refused. I am just a idle prince and can't help them."

Luo Qinghan: "I believe you will not get involved with the people of the Wang family."

Luo Yechen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Then he heard the emperor continue.
