Chapter 57

Chu Lingyun, the sister of King Zhao, Chu Lie, has been strong since childhood and has a strong temperament and is better than a man. However, she is impatient with the various rules in the palace and lives outside Jinxiang Palace most of the time. As the owner of this Xingyue Tower, there are very few people outside who know her true identity.

Chu Jiangmian was teased by this aunt who was several years older than him in the past. Thinking of some pains he had suffered during his growth, Sizhi was still frightened. When he saw her come out, he quickly walked over with a smile on his face, and first reached out to take out a crystal clear jade pendant from his arms and presented it with him.

"Aunt, this jade pendant is made of the best-in-class Southern White Marble. I got it in Luocheng, Zhongzhou. I know that my aunt loves to be clean. The patterns on it were all carved by me and have not been dyed by others. I specially brought it back to you... Haha!"

When she took it, Princess Lingyun was not surprised at all. Since the guy in front of her seemed to be reborn after being in her teens and repeatedly did amazing things, she has long been used to the surprises he brings every time.

The arrogant Chu Lingyun never accepted any gifts from any man in this world, except Chu Jiangmian. The jade pendant with a big red necklace was very beautiful in her slender jade palm. She naturally liked it. A smile just passed between her eyebrows, and remembered her previous anger, so she quickly restrained herself and hummed deliberately.

"All people have to take on important responsibilities, and they are always so unemployed. Humph! These tricks are worth showing off?"

"Oh... this is always my heart. I know that my aunt doesn't like ordinary things, so Jiang Mian will naturally not use things that have been contaminated by others to perfunctory. So I have carved it with my own hands for more than ten days before I can get this thing."

Hearing the sincerity in his tone, Chu Lingyun felt warm. She and Queen Jiang Xin were a little disagreeable for various reasons, so she often stayed away from Jinxiang Palace. However, she has always taken great care of Chu Jiangmian. This Xingyue Tower was only developed to this day with his help. She actually liked him very much.

"Okay! This jade... I accepted it. But when I heard Xueer say something, why did you give this fine wine recipe that you have worked hard to develop to the people of Qi?"

Jiang Xueer, who was quietly checking the development of the situation, heard the mention of herself, and quickly lowered her head, regretting the excessive talk just now, which might cause "no disaster" to Brother Jiang Mian. However, Chu Jiangmian said casually without caring.

"The so-called exchange of etiquette. I gave away the Bixi Beads that I brought from thousands of miles away. Of course, I should give them something back. In comparison, wine is just something in a glass, but it is not worth mentioning... Haha!"

Chu Lingyun was angry when he heard what he said so lightly. His eyebrows were raised and his jade face was covered with evil. He bent his fingers and knocked a chestnut on his head. Jiang Xueer hurriedly pulled Qiancheng and stayed away. The girl was actually very afraid of this strict aunt in her heart. She had already had a premonition that Brother Jiang Mian was going to be unlucky. Chu Jiangmian did not dare to dodge, and reached out to cover her head and grinned.

"Aunt...I'm grown up. Why are you still beating people like this?"

But unexpectedly, Chu Lingyun didn't listen to him, and he became even more annoyed when he heard it. His jade arm was relaxed and he was about to twist his ears. This time, Chu Jiangmian didn't want her to catch her anymore, so he jumped aside. If he was tugged in his ear and scolded him like before, he would be too shameless.

"No wonder it is said that you are a prodigal playboy known to all women and children! Do you know that even if the Bixi Bead is precious, it is still valuable. However, the brewing technique of this peerless wine can be exchanged for countless wealth. You generously gave it to the people of Qi, and you are so short-sighted in your behavior to help the enemy country... It's so stupid! Hum!"

No one knows better than Chu Lingyun that the reason why Xingyue Tower is so prosperous is that diners are full of food and gold. Most of this is because the wine in Xingyue Tower is unique and you can't drink such fine wine elsewhere. She has never been the bellweets of the world, but a woman who is as good as men! At this time, he stared at Chu Jiangmian with a look of regret, making him unwilling to put away his hippie smile and dare not deal with it randomly.

"Oh, my aunt only knows one thing, but not the other. This was originally something I did on purpose. The people of Qi only saw the temporary benefits in front of them, but how could they think of the huge disaster hidden behind them? After the King of Qi got this fine wine, it was the disadvantage of the gradual weakening of his national strength!"

Murong Qiancheng, who was listening quietly, felt aroused in his heart. She had long suspected that Chu Jiangmian's actions might not be that simple. Now, hearing what he said, there is indeed an inside story! The younger sister Jiang Xueer has bright eyes. She has always believed in Brother Jiang Mian's ability. As long as what he said, it must make a lot of sense. Chu Lingyun was stunned, as if he didn't believe it.

"What did you say? Will your rash behavior be beneficial to Zhao State?"

"Of course, it's true. Although it won't show up in the short term, when our Zhao State is strong and the army swept the world, the people of Qi will understand! Haha!"

The prince of Zhao, Chu Jiangmian, finally showed his ambitions for the first time. If he is the king in the future, he will be invincible in the military peaks, and dozens of countries in the world will be in the pocket!

There was a moment of silence on the Xingyue Tower. Bai Ye, Xiao Li and Blue Bird all showed excitement on their faces. They had long known the prince's unusualness along the way. Now they heard him reveal his ambitions in his chest with their own ears, and the excitement can be imagined. Even Lao Ji, who seemed to be dozing off next to him, opened his eyes slightly, and a flash of light passed by.

"I still don't understand... Auntie wants to hear you say it well."

Chu Lingyun's tone softened. In her heart, she had always had huge expectations for this heroic young man who had watched him grow up with her own eyes. And she believed even more that he would not let him down.

"Aunt, although this fine wine in Xingyue Tower can be called a fine wine in the world, it will definitely be passed down to the world in the future and become the favorite of countless wine lovers. This can naturally bring considerable wealth to the country. However, there is a difficult premise, that is, a large amount of food must be provided! This kind of mellow wine is complicated in the process and consumes the most food. When the vassal states today, which country can boast about sufficient food? The cruel reality is that most people can even guarantee the most basic food and clothing. How can they have the ability to consume a lot of food to make wine? Therefore, what aunt said before is impossible to use to fight against the country. Moreover, if those kings taste the taste of the fine wine in this world, and even spend material resources to satisfy their appetite, then their national strength will inevitably be greatly damaged. One is strong and the other is weak. Isn't this a good thing for our Zhao State? Haha!"

Chu Jiangmian explained casually, as if he was talking about something ordinary. However, he had already laid a shallow stroke for the world situation that was turbulent in the past year. When everyone was amazed by it, the woman with a light brow raised her eyes were flowing, but she couldn't help but sigh with regret.

"Then according to your opinion... Even in Zhao State, it is difficult for us to have the ability to brew this kind of wine in large quantities? What a pity!"

"Auntie, there is no need to sigh. Who can say that we can't do what other countries in the world cannot do?"

Hearing his tone so affirmed, the few people present raised their heads in surprise. This time they were really surprised. Even Lao Ji, who had seen through all the dust in the world, drank the wine in his hand in a gulp, and showed a look of surprise. Chu Lingyun grabbed Chu Jiangmian's arm and said anxiously.

"Then tell me your solution quickly! If you are talking wildly and perfunctorily, be careful that I will twist your ear off."

"Oh...so? Then wait until the time is right, then say it's OK...ah! OK, OK, OK...Aunt, don't really do it! I said it's not OK!"

Chu Jiangmian broke free from the "jade finger claw" and begged repeatedly. The proud woman in the eyes of Zhao people did not treat anyone with slut, but she only laughed and scolded him, and kept doing whatever she wanted. Chu Jiangmian coughed gently and said calmly.

"Since ancient times, the country's great cause has only been farming and weaving. Only by eating and wearing a good meal can we enrich the country and strengthen the people. This is also the most urgent development plan that needs to be developed in our current era. The Zhao Plain is vast and fertile, and it is also a benefit from rivers. In the near future, all people not only need peace, but also live and work in peace, and no longer have hunger or cold... At that time, what's the point of making some food for wine?"

"Where are the food you mentioned? Where does it come from? Humph!"

"Aunt, this is really a super secret of the country. Although I can't tell you what I know now, please believe that you will see it with your own eyes within five years..."

Prince Zhao made a solemn promise. If the country wants to become stronger, he must first develop people's livelihood. Under the many conditions and restrictions of this era, the key to developing people's livelihood is to produce more food from land. He already has a detailed plan in his mind. If war is really inevitable and he must stand on the stage of the times, then even those development plans are not yet mature, they must be implemented immediately from now on.

The world is about to be in chaos, and time is no longer waiting!

Chu Lingyun did not continue to ask questions. Once Chu Jiangmian showed seriousness, he would definitely be confident. She had already known this deeply since a long time ago.

"You finally came back... Jiang Mian, do you know that the king is going to hunt Jiuxing Mountain the day after tomorrow. In such a sensitive period... I am really afraid that his body will not be able to withstand it!"
