From a freeloader to a world leader

Chapter 355 The Queen Wants to Go to Hengzhou Again

The fact that Sun Shan had a daughter did not cause much commotion. After all, it was just a daughter, and a maid in the palace.

However, what he said was spread by the maid and midwife outside the delivery room.

At the same time, the joke that he was raised by his mother with great difficulty also spread outside.

Even the Queen Qian Ruyu, who was thousands of miles away in the palace, slapped her thigh with joy: "Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter! Only Sun Shan can say such a thing."

"Haha----" Emperor Yuanfeng laughed, and then carefully looked at the series of information sent by the Jinyiwei, and grinned and said: "I didn't expect that Zhongshan's mind is different from that of ordinary people. He can say such corny words-----"

Qian Ruyu felt a little unhappy after hearing this.

Ever since she returned to the lifeless imperial palace, she felt like she hadn't had a single day of peace.

First of all, the intrigues and monotonous life in this palace that have remained the same for thousands of years make people feel despair when compared with the worldly life in Hengzhou City.

In addition, since returning from Hengzhou, Emperor Yuanfeng has been surrounded by many long-thirsty women, and it is rare for him to quench his thirst.

Besides, even if it quenches your thirst, you can’t find that feeling of floating in the air and flying.

It would be even better to close your eyes and imagine how Sun Shan would torment you.

Moreover, ever since she let Kewei down on the road, there seemed to be something wrong between mother and daughter.

"Why is what Zhongshan said wrong? Aren't mothers the greatest people? Without mothers like us, where would you men be born? Without women like us, how would you men grow up?"

Hearing the Queen's rhetorical question in one breath, Emperor Yuanfeng's face twitched.

Ever since returning from Hengzhou, he always felt that the queen had a bit of an odd temper. He heard from the palace maids that she often sat in a daze by herself.

Moreover, he has a particularly bad temper.

Not only to the palace maids and concubines below, but even to herself, she often treated them coldly.

This made him come to Qianyuan Palace less often.

"I didn't deny it. I just said that Zhongshan is too good at flattering people. He flatters his mother without stopping. I don't know what he will do to his little girl."

After hearing what Emperor Yuanfeng said, Qian Ruyu felt better and calmed down. She smiled and said, "Isn't it good to please my mother? If I had such a good son, I would wake up laughing even when I was asleep."

As she spoke, she glanced at her silent daughter and said sarcastically, "Unlike some people who ignore their mothers when they grow up."

"Ha ha ha ha-----"

Emperor Yuanfeng laughed, looked at Qian Ruyu's face, then looked again, and said jokingly to his daughter Kewei, who had been reading the letter from Hengzhou, "Then from now on, you can ask Zhongshan to call you mother, and let him flatter you. I guarantee you will be very happy."

Unexpectedly, his unintentional words.

In an instant, a huge wave rose in Qian Ruyu's heart.

The thought of Zhongshan lying in his arms, calling him dear and drinking his milk made him feel sad.

Even as the emperor said, slapping his own butt.

Qian Ruyu shivered suddenly.

"Okay, then I will accept Shanzhong as my godson from now on, and call him Shan'er all the time, just like Princess Heng does, and be affectionate with him."

Qian Ruyu raised her eyebrows and stared at her daughter who had stopped reading the letter: "Kewei, do you think your father's idea is good? This will make the relationship between Zhongshan and our royal family closer, and it will be better for you, too?"

Yang Kewei understood Qian Ruyu's intentions and the possible calculations behind it better than her father.

Looking at the golden imperial hat on my father's head, I suddenly had an illusion that it seemed to have turned green.

"What can I mean by that, my daughter? As long as you are happy, it's fine. Besides, I can still stay in the palace for a few more years. As long as your father agrees, it's fine."

As she spoke, Yang Kewei said to Emperor Yuanfeng, who looked haggard and older after returning from Hengzhou, "Father, if you think it's appropriate, this is also a way to control Zhongshan, just like Prince Cheng and his men, who also adopted many adopted sons to strengthen their power."

It turned out that the continuous expansion of Datong Chamber of Commerce, especially the establishment of the Coal Bureau and the Smelting Bureau, as well as the expansion of the carriage factory, had expanded to a super-large scale of nearly 40,000 people in just half a year.

This requires the Royal Foundation to send a number of professional personnel to Hengzhou to supervise and learn.

However, the royal family's captive breeding method that had been practiced for hundreds of years simply did not have the corresponding talent.

As a result, Prince Cheng successively accepted several very smart talents as his adopted sons.

Well, if we adopt Sun Shan as our adopted son, it will definitely be more beneficial than all the benefits combined!

Hearing his daughter say this, Emperor Yuanfeng was slightly stunned, then laughed: "This is OK, but it doesn't seem to work now, Sun Shan is still not far from Hengzhou."

Qian Ruyu, who was immersed in her fantasy, quickly said, "Sun Shan can't leave. If I have time, I can take Ke Wei over to discuss it. If it's suitable, you can decide on it during the Dragon Boat Festival next year. Besides, it's more appropriate for me, the queen mother, to speak on this matter."

Yang Kewei's heart trembled when she heard this, as if a huge green hat was pressing down on her father's head.

And, it may be accurate.

But if my mother takes me with her, why would I care about him?

At worst, just like Ding Susu and the others, they ended up getting taken advantage of by that bad guy Sun Shan.

It has been three or four months since Yang Kewei had her anus broken by Sun Shan. She feels that life without Sun Shan is worse than death.

Since death is worse than death, it is better to be with my mother, and we can protect each other.

Emperor Yuanfeng hesitated for a moment and said, "Of course it would be good if you come forward, but you have only been back for a short time. If you go to Hengzhou again, wouldn't that invite the court to talk to you?"

"I'm not going there right now. Aren't the Hengzhou Bridge and the Women's Academy going to be completed by the end of the year? I'll bring Kewei to represent the royal family to cut the ribbon. I was just about to ask the Royal Fund to look into the carriage factory. I feel we can make additional investments and expand production."

These words moved Emperor Yuanfeng.

Ever since a series of trucks and passenger carriages of brands such as Qin, Han and Chu produced in Hengzhou were launched on the market, a buying spree was instantly triggered in the imperial capital.

Since rushing back to the imperial capital at the end of May, in just two months, the Datong Carriage Store established by the Royal Fund has sold nearly 600 trucks and carriages of various types.

This is still due to the limited production capacity of Hengzhou. Otherwise, with the pre-orders on hand, the number of vehicles would have exceeded 3000.

Moreover, the prices of these carriages were all sold at a 10% increase.

Some clever people even set up second-hand car dealerships right next to the Royal Store.

In name, they are used cars, but in reality they are new cars bought or recycled from the Royal Exclusive Market, and then sold to people in need in the imperial capital with a profit of 20 to 30 percent.

The owner behind this used car dealership is the Wang family.

The Wang family was extremely annoyed about Emperor Yuanfeng and others' trip to Hengzhou.

Because these people came back from Hengzhou, their mouths were full of grease.

Even Lu Jinxi, the Minister of Finance who had always been close to him, called him Baron Zhongshan all the time and never mentioned any restrictions or sanctions on the Datong Chamber of Commerce again.

However, the Wang family is not a pushover. While buying and selling second-hand carriages from Datong, they are also setting up a factory to produce the same carriages.

But this is not a matter of a few words, nor a matter of three to five months.

But the Royal Fund also realized that it could also produce carriages, either by cooperating with the Datong Carriage Factory or by producing its own carriages.

Therefore, it is urgent to have another face-to-face communication with Sun Shan to discuss investment in factory expansion.

"Okay, let's do this for now. I will discuss this with Prince Cheng and the others in a few days. If it works out, I will entrust this matter to you, Queen."

Qian Ruyu was so happy to hear this, but she said solemnly, "Your Majesty, don't worry. With me here, I will definitely keep that little monkey from Zhongshan in check."
