Chapter 571 Brainstorming
"How can I rely on myself?" Zhou Chang just didn't know where to start.
Zhong Yu probably couldn't think of any more references. "In this case, both human and material evidence are required. In fact, as long as we find the location where the weapons were cast, we will have both. And the evidence is solid and cannot be denied. As for this location... King Xian leads his troops stationed outside all year round. This is his advantage, but it is also difficult for us to verify. But the whereabouts of a person can never be erased, so we can start from this aspect."
"So, let's transfer back all the reliable people in Yidanxing. Let the South side ask them to find new people to replace them. We need people who are both our own and experienced veterans, so the only ones can be people from Yidanxing." Zhou Chang had no other choice now and could only count on Gao Yuan.
Zhong Yu also nodded: "That's exactly what I mean. Besides, quality is more important than quantity when it comes to the people who are responsible for this matter. Although Yidanxing only has about 30 people at most, Gao Yuan should be able to do it if we can take out half of the most trustworthy ones."
"No matter how much money is needed for the investment, just tell me, sir, and I will find a way." Zhou Chang made such big words, but he still had a headache when he thought about making money.
Zhong Yu has always been very careful with money, so he immediately estimated: "Money is not a big deal. After all, although the prince did not want the dozens of clinics and drugstores donated by the Yuan family, they have been supporting our drugstores and clinics in the south, which saves a lot of effort and material resources. As for the funds for building the dam, they cannot be touched. Fortunately, there are still four drugstores to support the shelter and the library. So the remaining big expense is really only this one."
"I understand. I'll find a way to do it." Zhou Chang had no choice but to agree. After all, she had her own selfish motives hidden in this matter.
When Yuan Qi was alive, there was no need to worry about money.
Now that Yuan Qi is not here, where can she find a solution?
Thinking of this, one cannot help but sigh that Prince Yi did not suffer any loss from the fake marriage with Yuan Qi. Not only did he not suffer any loss, he even benefited from it and even married another wife now.
But what about Yuan Qi?
Woman...
Since Zhong Yu also mentioned the Yuan family, he couldn't help but have further thoughts: "Since the Yuan family has this information, then I speculate that perhaps the Yuan family can also find out the location where Prince Xian privately made weapons. At least in this regard, they are definitely better than the prince. At worst... they can also find out the source of copper, iron and other materials used to make weapons..."
"No... the Yuan family must not be involved in this matter under any circumstances." Zhou Chang had this thought before, but he immediately rejected it every time it was touched upon.
We can’t let Yuan Qi get involved in such a dangerous thing.
What's more, this matter was her selfish desire, and this selfish desire had nothing to do with Yuan Qi.
At this point, Zhou Chang was reminded: "Sir, burn the news about Prince Xian "privately making weapons with the intention of rebellion" after reading it. This matter has nothing to do with the Yuan family from the beginning."
"Yes..." Zhong Yu originally didn't have much hope, but he felt increasingly overwhelmed in recent days, so he asked tentatively.
Zhou Chang didn't notice Zhong Yu's increasingly haggard face, and asked about the progress of the dam construction.
Although Prince Yi took on the project, he actually knew nothing about it and had to hand it over to the Ministry of Works, with only one person in charge reporting progress to Prince Yi regularly.
However, Zhou Chang certainly didn't understand what the person in charge said, so he could only pull Zhong Yu and ask him to help with the connection.
As long as there was progress on the dam project and the work was not stopped, Zhou Chang would be satisfied.
Therefore, gradually, this naturally became Zhong Yu's responsibility.
Zhong Yu has always been willing to work hard and take on such things no matter how hard or tiring it is.
When the two finished their conversation, it was already late at night.
Zhong Yu said goodbye.
Meisheng came in again, holding two plates of snacks in his hands.
Meisheng was accompanied by Shouhou, who was holding a tea tray in his hands.
Mei Sheng placed the snacks in front of Zhou Chang and said, "Your Highness, you didn't have much appetite just now. Mei Sheng just went outside to buy two snacks. They should be enough to fill your stomach, otherwise your stomach will be uncomfortable."
Zhou Chang had no appetite all day and didn't feel hungry, but seeing Mei Sheng's kindness, he picked up a piece and took a couple of bites.
Meisheng turned around and took the tea tray from the skinny monkey, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Zhou Chang.
The skinny monkey had become a hands-off boss and took out a bag of snacks and started eating.
Ever since Mei Sheng entered Prince Yi's Mansion, no one knew what was happening with Zhong Yu, but the skinny monkey really got an assistant who not only had food and drink, but also did not have to work.
Zhou Chang even had the illusion that the skinny guy had gained weight again.
After eating two pieces of snacks with tea, I felt full quickly.
The skinny monkey finished the food in his hand and asked habitually: "Your Majesty, are you not going to eat anymore?"
"Ah..." Zhou Chang habitually wanted to push the snacks to the skinny monkey, but then he thought that this was Mei Sheng's intention, and he wondered if it was okay to do so in front of him.
The skinny monkey had already brought over the plate of snacks.
Mei Sheng didn't care. Instead, he said to the skinny monkey, "Brother Monkey, if you are tired, go back and rest first. I will help His Highness wash up later."
Zhou Chang was about to say that no one needed to stay here, and she could handle it herself, but the skinny monkey took the lead, grinned, and ran away: "Okay, then, Your Majesty, I will go back first."
It has become a habit.
The skinny monkey turned around and slipped out, but before he left the yard, he stopped and turned back to report: "Your Majesty, the princess wants to see you."
"Huh?" Zhou Chang didn't react.
Since marrying into Prince Yi's mansion, Yuan Yun has seldom come to Prince Yi's study, mainly because Zhou Chang doesn't want to.
However, as soon as Shouhou's voice fell, Yuan Yun came in with Nanny Sun and two maids. There was a smile on her pretty face, but it turned cold the moment she saw Meisheng.
Zhou Chang didn't notice it, and didn't wait for Yuan Yun to greet him. Instead, he asked, "What's the matter with you, Princess?"
Yuan Yun's expression was still frozen on her face, and she didn't care at all what Zhou Chang said.
But Nanny Sun behind him forced a smile to smooth things over: "Alas, Your Highness, Your Highness is still dealing with affairs late at night, it's really hard. Well, the princess heard that the cook Wang Mama was sick today, and didn't know whether Your Highness had a good dinner, so she specially sent a midnight snack."
"Oh, thank you very much." Zhou Chang didn't know what else to say. He just watched Nanny Sun instruct the two maids behind to bring up the food box. "No need. I appreciate the princess' kindness, but I just ate and now I have no appetite."
It's not that I'm being intentionally cold, I just really have no appetite.
"No appetite? Is it because you have no appetite or Your Highness doesn't want to eat the food I sent, and only wants to eat certain people's food?" Yuan Yun's eyes suddenly became sharp.
These words were meant to question Zhou Chang, but his eyes were fixed on Mei Sheng.
Zhou Chang also noticed something was wrong immediately, but he didn't think much about it. He felt that he and Yuan Yun had been getting along well during this period, so he took a step back and said, "I really can't eat anymore. If you had come earlier, I wouldn't have eaten those two snacks, and maybe I could have eaten a few more bites. Thank you so much for your kindness. How about you leave the food for me to eat tomorrow morning? It won't be a waste."
"No..." Yuan Yun was about to get angry, but Nanny Sun pulled her sleeve from behind. She changed her expression instantly and forced a smile, "It's not good to leave it until tomorrow. Since Your Majesty has no appetite, I won't force you. Instead, I'll have someone make something new for Your Majesty tomorrow morning."
Zhou Chang felt relieved when the other party's attitude softened. He stood up and said in a softer tone, "Thank you, Princess. Don't worry. I believe that the Queen's health will recover by tomorrow."
Saying this, it sounds like he is giving someone a gift.
Yuan Yun did not force him to stay. She glanced at Mei Sheng again and left with his men.
