Li Chongfu's mind was calmer when he lived in Longmen.

The courtesy Qin Shaoyou gave him was obviously beyond his expectations.

What surprised him even more was the movements of the court. The court ignored the matter and seemed to have forgotten such a big prince.

To a certain extent, forgetting is sometimes a good thing for Li Chongfu.

It is obvious that Li Chongfu is full of confidence now, because he clearly felt that the court's forgetting was not really painful for a prince. This kind of thing was not a trivial matter if it was a dynasty or annex. And the reason for this was obviously only one reason, that is, the King of Wei, who was in Luoyang, was obviously stronger than he thought, so that the court had to forget it. Otherwise, once the court was serious, he might encounter a slight shady with Qin Shaoyou, and the final result... It is conceivable that he would naturally lose face.

Since you will lose face, you can simply turn a blind eye.

Many times, the manifestation of strength comes from many aspects, and Qin Shaoyou is indeed a big tree, at least... enough to protect himself.

Of course... protection alone is not enough. What Li Chongfu needs is that Qin Shaoyou can become his bargaining chip. If he goes further, he will have the opportunity to win the championship. Even if he takes a step back, he can still be safe.

This involves Qin Shaoyou's attitude. If this highness has a bad attitude, is just lukewarm to himself, or just wants to take advantage of his identity, then the situation may be very bad, because today you may become his pawn, tomorrow, or you may become an abandoned boy.

Qin Shaoyou's enthusiasm finally gave up his thoughts.

Because a few days later, in addition to the banquets of all sizes, Qin Shaoyou then invited him to set off and go to Weizhou to review the three armies.

Read the three armies...

First, he was suspicious, and then he was overjoyed and began to look forward to it.

Since he arrived in Luoyang, he has not been happy for a day, which is reasonable, because Chang'an is really so suffocating. Every day, he seems to be unable to breathe, and he is worried every day, but here it is rare to have relaxation.

What's more, Qin Shaoyou invited him to review the fifth military camps. He finally dispelled Li Chongfu's last concerns.

He is the prince, why did Qin Shaoyou send such an invitation? Naturally, he hopes that his identity as a prince can boost the morale of the five military camps. Since that is the case, it means that his identity as a royal family is very effective, and he... is still quite powerful.

This is completely different from when he was in Chang'an. At least he would never have come into contact with any military horses. Any small move may be suspicious, or even... it may be a disaster for death.

Li Chongfu naturally knew the importance of military and horses. Isn’t the first thing Wei’s mastery of the temple? Is it not the first thing that Wei’s family and his confidants in the army?

In Luoyang, he had seen many things, and the prosperity here was indeed beyond his imagination.

A few years ago, he left Luoyang with his father and went to Chang'an. At that time, he had lived in Luoyang for many years, but this time he came back. He was surprised to find that Luoyang is now completely different from what he had seen at the beginning.

The original East and West Markets were originally just trading places for vendors, but now there are many commercial businesses. In addition, a South Market was opened. According to the eunuchs who served them, it was even more lively and the transactions were made very large. Some transactions were even more than hundreds of thousands of yuan. The people in the city were much richer than before, and there were all kinds of entertainment. At night, there were silk and bamboo waves. In the past, this was limited to the inner city, but now, the outer city is not inferior.

There are even rumors that the entire Weizhou city is now a large military camp, with more than 100,000 troops entrenched there, and there are camps everywhere. The five military camps are very grand. They can accommodate many military horses, and a large number of military horses are practicing day and night, and there are endless shouts of killing. When practicing, artillery rumbles. Not only that, in order to supply these military horses, the grain ships and various ships that travel through the canal every day are like rivers, flowing endlessly.

This place...is a paradise.

Li Chongfu obviously regarded himself and the King of Wei as a community of shared destiny, and the greater the King of Wei's momentum, for him, it was obviously a pleasure to see it happen.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

A few days later, the King of Wei came. It turned out that His Highness, the King of Wei, had already taken action first. Because he was a light car, he set out first. Finally, Li Chongfu, who was the crown prince, naturally needed some show, so he didn't have to rush to leave.

Li Chongfu was so excited about Qin Shaoyou's care. He was so excited that he did not rush to Weizhou. He took his companions slowly along the way. In fact, it is very convenient to go to Weizhou now, because a few months ago, the canals between Weizhou and Luoyang were connected, and the whole journey was more than 500 miles, not far. If it was a fast boat, it would be possible to arrive in three days. Even a slower boat would be enough for seven or eight days.

Li Chongfu admired the beautiful scenery along the way, especially when he arrived in Mengjin, he was shocked by the continuous workshops in Mengjin. There were continuous buildings in this radius of hundreds of miles. Countless piers extended out of the trestle and docked by cargo ships. There were figures everywhere along the way. The iron smelting workshop and brick kiln smelting out chimneys, emitting black smoke. The rolling black smoke rushed straight towards the sky. The whole sky seemed to be gray.

This scene made Li Chongfu excited. Although the smell in the air always had a hint of coking coal, which was a bit pungent, these scenes made him feel a little strange. Although there were no green mountains and waters here, there were no green poetic and picturesque ideas, it gave him a magnificent feeling, as if there was an invisible power to be displayed in front of him.

The boat is a waterway inspection ship. In all prefectures and counties under Qin Shaoyou, almost all waterway inspections are provided. They mainly maintain the safety of the canal, clear the river channel, and investigate the thieves. Therefore, the one who came to protect Li Chongfu with the ship was an adjutant of the Luoyang Waterway Inspection Department. Seeing that Li Chongfu was interested in this iron smelting workshop, he couldn't help but say with interest: "Your Highness, the iron smelting is the iron smelting, which is a brick kiln, and there is a kiln that burns charcoal. Nowadays, coal is used to make iron, so

The smoke is the most pungent, and it seems to be full of coal smoke. "The deputy said, and gently scented his nose and continued: "In the Mengjin area, there are the most iron smelting workshops in Hexi, with hundreds of kilns and hundreds of kilns. The steel produced every year is as high as 70 million kilograms, but... Even so, it is still insufficient, especially His Highness the King of Wei recruits soldiers and horses everywhere and makes swords, guns, swords and halberds. The demand for this fine iron is too strong, and many people are now

Did Your Highness see the kiln? That big kiln is Chen Ji's iron shop. Their furnaces can be used to make fine iron, which is the most urgently needed by the Five Military Camps. As for those small furnaces, it is different. They can only make some farm tools. However, farm tools are very popular now. Your Highness doesn't know that the farming here is different from before. In the past, a family of four or five planted twenty acres of land. Now, two or three of them have gone to the city to work. They stayed at home, but only a few two people, and in the past, they used to be a knife.

Nowadays, there are fewer people working in the countryside. It is not possible to rely on the old methods before, so there is a huge demand for farm tools and animal power. Otherwise, the land will be truly deserted. Now all iron shops are making the latest agricultural tools, with excellent sales. Cattle and horses, which are transported from the desert. The government encourages the use of animal power instead of manpower, so they try their best to lower the price of cattle and horses. Moreover, some people at home work outside and send some money back every month, so everyone can afford it."

"Your Highness knows what is the most fashionable thing now?" This deputy must have wanted to show off. It is rare to make a prince of a noble man interested in him, so he was full of red light. Once he opened his mouth, he couldn't stop: "The most fashionable thing is the kind of carriage and horses that deliver letters on behalf of him. Your Highness thinks about it, which village, pavilion, and township are now without anyone outside, so the letters are most frequent, and some people ask someone to bring things. If it happens, they will meet.

During the Chinese New Year, people in the city have to buy some clothes or teach people to take them back. When they walk on a carriage, they are a dozen large trucks of letters and goods entrusted. They all run back and forth, from village to village, and in large carriages, and hire thousands of people, all of whom travel back and forth. When they arrive in a certain township and send the things, they have to stay for two nights. When they prepare the letters, they will bring them back. After one trip, they will earn dozens of cents of money."

After all, Li Chongfu is a young man, and he can hear it interestingly and does not interrupt him.

The deputy said with a smile: "This place is different from other places. In the past, it was harder to make money than anything else, but now it seems like there are business opportunities everywhere. Sometimes a sudden idea is a business. In fact, although I have been here for so many years, I have not seen enough of these novel things, but I still haven't seen enough. What I see is just the tip of the iceberg, ha... I'm not as good as those who walk around the streets in this life, I'm afraid I can't count on wealth and honor."
