Chapter 114 Prime Minister Xiao Changyun
As they were talking, a person appeared.
Yan Nan came over.
"Isn't your Yan State still at war?"
Huangfu Qingling frowned slightly. He retreated to this place in the middle of a battle. Does that mean he doesn't want the State of Yan anymore?
"You are leaving Liangzhou City, why can't I come to see you off?"
Yan Nan had a smile on his face, and of course he also brought back some guards.
Later, at the dinner table, he told about the current situation in the north.
Although Yannan has not yet completely taken back Yan State, the capital city in the north of Yan State has been controlled.
The remaining forces have also been scattered to the east and west of Yan State.
Overall, the State of Yan has basically stabilized.
Coupled with the continuous trade with Dayong, Yan State should not have any major problems in the short term.
Later, Yan Nan learned that Lin Yi was leaving and immediately rushed over with his men.
Of course, this was also the choice of the soldiers and civilians of Yan State, because many of the civilians and soldiers who returned were people who had received favors from Lin Yi outside the city of Liangzhou in the south.
They all hoped that Yan Nan would bring some gifts to see Lin Yi off.
"Lin Yi, although Yan State doesn't have many good things, some silver and weapons are essential."
Yan Nan said this and ordered his men to bring in the box.
A full three thousand taels!
In addition, Yan Nan also gave Lin Yi a sword.
It was engraved with the word "Yan" (the Chinese character for Yan State), and it could be considered a gift from Yan Nan to thank Lin Yi.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Lin Yi clasped his fists in thanks.
"Huangfu, if Lin Yi manages your capital well, I would like him to come to Yan State and give me some advice when he has time."
Yan Nan smiled and said, "I don't ask for a great design, just a simple one. I also want to imitate Liangzhou City and build an entertainment city."
"I really like that bathhouse and massage!"
As they said this, everyone laughed and then ate hot pot and chatted.
This is Lin Yi's last night in Liangzhou City.
The next morning, Lin Yi changed into a more formal outfit and went out.
Xu Chuan and three guards were already waiting at the door, while Yang Jian and Huang Chang were preparing the carriage.
Huangfu Qingling had already been sitting in the carriage early in the morning.
However, due to her status as empress, she could not ride in the same carriage with Lin Yi.
Although Huangfu Qingling prefers riding a bicycle, this time he has to make a grand return to Beijing, so riding a bicycle is definitely not an option.
So Huangfu Qingling prepared a bicycle at the back of the carriage, intending to ride it during the break.
Prince Qing's army cleared the way on both sides and soon left the city.
In the entire team, Lin Yi was at the end, but the other officials knew that Lin Yi should be in the front.
All merits and rewards can only be given after returning to the capital.
"Lin Yi, that bomb design..."
After walking thirty miles, Prince Qing was about to take his soldiers back. Before leaving, he pulled open the side curtain of the carriage and asked slowly.
"I've already given the blueprints to the military, and I've also given them the location of the mine."
Lin Yi said, "It's just a test. The army did it themselves."
"By the way, this stuff is very dangerous. It's best to test it on pork."
"Don't get too close."
Lin Yi has also written these precautions in the design drawings and handed them over to the military.
"Thank you. If you need anything, don't forget to call me."
Prince Qing spoke with great gratitude.
As the front team of carriages moved away, even Lin Yi, who was at the end of the team, had left the Liangzhou city.
Although Lin Yi felt a little reluctant, Dayong could not rely solely on Liangzhou City.
They were not heading south very fast, probably because they had to take their schedule into consideration.
After all, the emperor's return to Beijing is more about form than speed.
Otherwise, Huangfu Qingling and Lin Yi could reach the capital in a blink of an eye with a bicycle each.
During this process, Lin Yi saw Dayong outside Liangzhou City.
There are large tracts of farmland in many places, and some villages and towns are also relatively prosperous, but of course they are not as good as the Lin Family Entertainment City in Liangzhou City.
Although it is winter, there are still many people coming and going on the road, some are doing business, and some are escorting. Generally speaking, the further south you go, the more abundant this scene is.
Throughout this journey, Lin Yi felt that Dayong was actually doing quite well under the rule of Huangfu Qingling.
Even if there is a deficit, it will not have much impact on the lives of these people.
After a few days, the group traveled south from the north, crossed a river, and finally reached the territory of the capital.
According to the three guards who came from the capital, it would take about fifty miles to reach the capital from this ferry crossing to the south.
Then the convoy stopped.
Lin Yi thought he had arrived and immediately got off the car to see what was going on, but he saw a large group of people blocking the convoy halfway.
He walked forward stealthily to confirm what was going on.
These people were all wearing official uniforms, and a few of them were wearing armor.
Officers, soldiers and guards cleared the way, and the people knelt down, all to welcome Huangfu Qingling back to the capital.
"Your Highness, Prime Minister Xiao Changyun of Dayong respectfully welcomes the Emperor!"
A middle-aged man with a slightly white beard slowly knelt in front of Huangfu Qingling.
"Your Highness, the Minister of Revenue..."
"Your Highness, the Minister of Personnel..."
The officials behind him also knelt down to welcome Huangfu Qingling back to Beijing.
"Welcome to His Majesty..."
The officers and soldiers nearby also half-knelt to welcome him.
"who?"
The soldiers who were watching saw Lin Yi peeking from the side and wanted to catch him.
But standing in his way was the great General Yang Jian!
"Brother, we have finally returned from the north with the Emperor. I'm afraid this would be disrespectful."
Yang Jian spoke slowly, intending to protect Lin Yi, but unexpectedly caused an even greater commotion.
"Yang Jian!"
"He is a general of Yan State, capture him!"
As the Minister of War spoke, the soldiers also took action.
Lin Yi, Yang Jian and Huang Chang were surrounded by soldiers.
"So General Huang Chang is here too! Let's take him down together!"
The Minister of War was very happy and was planning to capture these two people to take credit.
"Get out!"
Huangfu Qingling shouted angrily, "These two are the heroes of Liangzhou City. If it weren't for the fact that generals of the empire were not allowed to enter the government, I would have replaced you long ago!"
This sentence made the Minister of War look very aggrieved.
How come you two people from Yan became ministers?
Huangfu Qingling thought that this was a good opportunity to let everyone know about Lin Yi.
After all, most of Dayong's information was delivered by people and horses, and only a small part was delivered by carrier pigeons.
"Gentlemen, please stand up. I am about to introduce you to the greatest hero of Liangzhou City."
"He is Lin Yi, a businessman doing business in Liangzhou City."
Huangfu Qingling's sources of information are eclectic, so she felt that what she said was correct.
But before he could finish his words, Xiao Changyun secretly snorted.
"Your Majesty, businessmen are always willing to disregard everything for profit."
"As the saying goes, businessmen value profit over separation."
Xiao Changyun pretended to be serious and gave Huangfu Qingling some "scientific knowledge". "I'm afraid he has some ulterior motives. Your Majesty, please be careful in dealing with him!"
Then he glanced at Lin Yi with disdain.
