Chapter 897

Luo yechen received the imperial edict sent by the emperor, immediately changed his clothes and went to Shanglinyuan in a carriage.

He saw the emperor in the palace.

Luo QingHan asked when he saw his dejected appearance.

"Why are you like this? What's the matter?"

Luo yechen: "just now the princess asked me, saying that in case of dystocia, adults and children can only protect one. Who can I protect? I said that she was unhappy."

Luo QingHan: "then you say to protect the child."

Luo yechen: "I said, but she was even more angry."

Luo QingHan: "

Luo yechen: "it's really hard to be a father."

Luo QingHan: "

Luo yechen: "fortunately, you haven't become a father yet."

Luo QingHan: "

Luo yechen: "I really envy you now. How easy it is to have no children and no women!"

Luo Qing said with a cold face, "come on, fork him out."

Luo yechen hurriedly shouted, "no, you specially called me here. Don't you have something serious to tell me? It hasn't started yet!"

When Luo QingHan thought that there was still room for him, he bit his teeth and left him.

Luo yechen took the opportunity to advance: "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 father-in-law Chang next to him.

Duke Chang agreed and soon brought a pot of wine and three side dishes.

Luo QingHan and Luo yechen sit opposite each other.

Luo yechen took a deep breath and said, "good wine!"

But the next moment he put down his glass.

He sighed and said, "it's a pity that the princess is pregnant and can't smell wine. If I drink wine and go back, she will teach me a lesson. I still won't drink it. Father Chang, please pour me a cup of tea."

Luo QingHan was shown again.

It's impossible to prevent! "

Grandpa Chang offered Luo yechen a cup of tea.

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

"Your Majesty specially summoned me. Do you have any orders?"

Luo QingHan said with a wooden face, "the group of people who went to sea have come back."

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

The business under Luo yechen's name is all over the north and south of the river. He has ready-made contacts in the south, so Luo yechen also mixed it with going to sea.

Luo yechen was surprised: "so fast?"

Luo QingHan said quietly, "they are on their first voyage. They are not familiar with all aspects and don't dare to go too far. In fact, they are lucky to come back safely this time."

There were many people who wanted to go to sea, but most of them were dead in the sea.

The reason why the fleet sent by the emperor can come back safely this time is also due to Xiao Xi.

It was she who first divined for the fleet and pointed out the direction for them, so that they could have a smooth journey.

Of course, the people of the fleet didn't know this. They thought they were protected by the emperor, so their respect for the emperor went to a higher level.

Luo yechen asked curiously, "do they have a harvest?"

Luo QingHan: "they found several small islands on the sea and found residents on one of them. However, because they don't know the language, they don't know what each other is talking about. Finally, they can't help it. They can only bring a few island residents back and plan to study their language slowly."

It's said to be brought back, but it's actually tied back.

Luo yechen: "is there anything else?"

Luo QingHan: "our people also found an iron mine on one of the islands."

Luo yechen opened his eyes and asked in disbelief, "did you really find iron ore? I thought it was a lie that there was gold on the sea!"

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

Iron is not only the daily needs of the people, but also can make weapons and harness and strengthen the equipment of the army.

Several iron mines in China have been for many years. After so many years of mining, they have almost reached the bottom. Now there is such an iron mine suddenly, which is tantamount to solving a big problem in the Dasheng dynasty!

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

Naturally, it's because of Xiao Xi's help in pointing out the direction.

Even thousands of miles apart, she can still calculate the sailing route of the fleet by relying on the stars, so that they can find the treasure as much as possible while avoiding the risk.

Luo QingHan: "this iron mine is too important to me. I don't trust anyone else. I only trust you, so I can only send you to Wanhai city to personally supervise the mining of iron ore."

Luo yechen was deeply moved at first, and then surprised again.

"You want me to supervise the work? No, my princess is pregnant. I have to be with her!"

Luo QingHan: "I've calculated the time for you. If you start tomorrow and there is no accident, you should be able to come back before the princess gives birth."

Luo yechen: "but I..."

Luo QingHan: "I know you don't want to give up the princess of England. To be honest, if it wasn't too important, I wouldn't send you to the south at this time. You should also know how important this iron ore is. If those aristocratic families find it, they will definitely want to take advantage of the opportunity. We can't give them this opportunity."

Luo yechen is very tangled.

Of course he knows the importance of this new iron mine.

The existing iron mines are almost in the hands of aristocratic families.

Because of this, they can even put people in the army.

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

Luo QingHan: "I know that the people of the Wang family have contacted you privately."

Luo yechen was surprised.

He did not expect that the emperor would suddenly mention it at this time.

Last time the emperor and the imperial concubine went to the British palace together, the emperor tried the British king, but he was vague by the British king.

He thought it had been revealed. Unexpectedly, the emperor had already known it.

Luo QingHan: "the Wang family contacted you quietly through the Gao family. I can probably guess why they contacted you."

Luo yechen hurriedly explained for fear of being misunderstood.

"Wang Qian did come to me. He wanted me to intercede with Wang Kai, but I refused. I'm an idle Lord and can't help them."

Luo QingHan: "I believe you won't get mixed up with the Wang family."

Smell speech Luo yechen breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he heard the emperor continue.

"But have you ever thought about why Wang Qian suddenly came to you? According to my understanding, the Wang family has never had much contact with you. Wang Qian and you are just nodding friends. He should know that even if he came to you, you probably wouldn't help, but he still went to you. Why?"
