Chapter 546
This was strongly opposed by Xu Jie, who was later targeted by Zhang Cong and began to learn to hide his true intentions.
Although the Jiangnan Group has been destroyed, Xu Jie is still secretly on Xia Yan's side.
Zhou Chu had so much information about historical figures in his mind that he couldn't remember some details clearly, including the details about Xu Jie.
"No rush. Urgent matters should be dealt with later. Let's wait until Lord Xu finishes his mourning period."
Wang Mingyue smiled.
She achieved her goal in coming to find Xia Yan. The reason she sought out Xia Yan was because she knew that with her own strength, dealing with Zhou Chu would be extremely difficult, almost hopeless.
Xia Yan is different. He used to belong to the Jiangnan faction. Although the Jiangnan faction is now defunct in name only, people from the Jiangnan faction still exist in the capital. Xu Jie is one of them.
However, the Jiangnan faction in the capital has lost its base and foundation due to the changes in Jiangnan, so most of them have chosen to lie low and wait for the right opportunity.
What Wang Mingyue needed to do was to leverage the power of these people. However, Wang Mingyue also knew that it wouldn't be easy for her to gain Xia Yan's trust. She needed to do some things first to let this Lord Xia see her abilities so that he would be more likely to accept her.
The reason Wang Mingyue targeted Zhou Chu was actually because Li Xian's death was very sudden for her.
For the past ten years, Wang Mingyue had lived on hatred for Li Xian. When Li Xian suddenly died, Wang Mingyue was lost for a while. She felt that there was nothing in this world worth cherishing and wanted to end her life. But after she learned about Zhou Chu, she suddenly found a new goal: to stop Zhou Chu.
To put it bluntly, Wang Mingyue simply made stopping Zhou Chu her goal for survival, replacing her previous hatred for Li Xian.
Otherwise, once she loses her goals, she will feel that the world is terrible and will always think about ending her own life.
Recently, Wang Mingyue received some exciting news.
Shen Qing, the woman who did business with Zhou Chu when he was still a nobody, gave birth to a child. But that's not the point. The point is that one of Wang Mingyue's subordinates accidentally learned that the Fang Hong that Shen Qing married was actually a woman.
It was quite a coincidence that a captain of the Imperial Guard got drunk in a brothel under Wang Mingyue's control and let slip the news, which naturally reached Wang Mingyue's ears.
"Shen Qingsheng's child must be Zhou Chu's child!"
Wang Mingyue made her judgment almost instantly.
She decided to take the child away. The Zhou Chu of the past had no weaknesses and was terrifyingly strong, but now it's different. He has a child, and this child will be his fatal weakness.
In the second year after Zhou Chu entered Tibet, Hai Rui and others finally developed a steam engine with relatively stable power conversion and a relatively high conversion rate.
This greatly excited Hai Rui and Yang Shengzhai, who were studying the steam engine together.
Yang Shengzhai was imprisoned for half a year before being released, which was just a formality. After his release, Yang Shengzhai returned to the capital immediately and met his grandfather, Yang Yiqing.
When Yang Yiqing saw Yang Shengzhai, he was extremely pleased. Among his grandsons, he had the highest opinion of this unconventional grandson. He disapproved of his other two grandsons, and even his son, because they were too rule-abiding and even a bit pedantic. Such people were destined not to achieve great things.
After meeting Yang Yiqing, Yang Shengzhai immediately immersed himself in the village, working the land while studying the steam engine with Hai Rui.
After two years of continuous searching, Gui Youguang has found many naturally sterile plants, and the research on hybrid wheat has officially entered the right track.
