"See Your Highness Sixth!" Li Wufeng, who was fully equipped with military uniform, bowed respectfully.

"Mr. Li is so polite! You and I don't have to be so polite, you and my brothers, right! You all don't have to be so polite!" A hearty laugh came out from your throat. Situ Biao took two steps to help Li Wufeng, who was about to bow, and took Li Wufeng's arm intimately, while also warmly greeting several important generals under Li Wufeng.

"Hey, the courtesy cannot be abandoned, Your Highness." A sincere smile appeared on Li Wufeng's face. He still performed a half-kneeling salute as standard, and then he got up. The generals who didn't want to salute again saw that their boss insisted on saluteing, and had to follow the example of the salute.

"Your Highness, please!" "Please please!"

Situ Biao inadvertently removed the word "six" on his name to Li Wufeng, and a trace of undetectable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He grabbed Wufeng's hand and walked into the wide living room in the city guard mansion.

After listening to Wufeng's detailed introduction to the battle to suppress bandits and the situation of defeating Luo Beiren's attack, Situ Biao asked about the current situation of the prefectures in the northwest county with concern. Wufeng also introduced them one by one and objectively reported on the existing difficulties.

Situ Biao was very satisfied. It seemed that Li Wufeng was quite honest with him and did not hide anything from the situation introduced. From the current perspective, it was not obvious that this person had any other intentions, and it was somewhat different from the views of his advisers. However, the current superficial phenomenon alone is far from being able to make a light judgment. More importantly, it is to observe his actions. However, this is at least a good start, Situ Biao was thinking.

Li Wufeng, who was sitting next to him, still looked polite on the surface, and he treated Situ Biao very respectfully, and he also revealed a sense of closeness, but he was carefully pondering the other party's feelings in his mind.

When the kings compete for the throne, each prince wants to defeat his brothers and stand out from them to win the throne. This naturally requires the princes to have support from many aspects. Among them, the favor of His Majesty the Emperor is naturally crucial, but it is also indispensable to have strong strength and strong supporters. Otherwise, even if you sit on the throne of the emperor and are not strong enough, you may still be overthrown by others. This example is everywhere. It is no surprise that there are two precedents in this dynasty. Perhaps his current strength has attracted the attention of many "minded people". Situ Biao is probably one of them. He strongly recommends that he serve as the military and political governor of the Northwest County. This hot position is also a big investment. Now he may think it is time to talk about the profits.

Wufeng thought to himself, but he did not show any expression on the surface. Since he wanted to talk about profits, he could take the opportunity to complain first and let him win some support for the Northwest County in the center of the empire, and it would not be in vain that Situ Biao would personally go to the northwest.

He frowned and thought about it. "Your Highness, I think I might as well accompany you out for a walk and conduct on-site inspections of Bonan Prefecture, so as to actually understand the specific situation of Northwest County."

Situ Biao happily agreed to Li Wufeng's proposal. He also wanted to find a suitable time to talk to this young man whom he could not see through. At least he had to explore his bottom and see if his weight could be bet on him with confidence. But the person's face in front of him always gave him a little blurry, as if a trace of gauze fog was hidden in front of him.

A luxurious carriage slowly drove out of the gate of the Bonan City Guardian under the strict escort of the surrounding knights. Given that the situation in Bonan has not been completely calm, Situ Biao's identity is extraordinary, and he has been assassinated twice, Wu Feng took quite strict defense measures.

The carriage slowly drove on the deserted streets of Bonan. Most of the houses on both sides of the street looked a little dilapidated. The huge impact of long-term wars and banditry on the economy here can be seen at a glance. However, Situ Biao, who had been silent, seemed a little absent-minded while sitting in the wide carriage. Li Wufeng, who accompanied him, could not find anything to make a stalemate.

At this moment, Situ Biao was thinking about how to open the conversation.

The pacification of the northwest is a foregone conclusion, and you can also give your father a satisfactory answer when you go back. Although the person in front of you has made great efforts to bet on the top position of Northwest County, there are too many cases of drawing boards across the bridge. Strength determines everything, and no one will bet on the side with no chance of winning. If you want to win his loyalty and effectiveness with this, Situ Biao is not that naive. His strength should be the weakest among the princes. In the future battle for the throne, it is too early to consider whether Li Wufeng will support him, but at least this is an opportunity to win him over. After all, he has only reached the top in one step, and his foundation in the court is still very weak. In many aspects, he also needs a strong supporter of the imperial center. His bet has been successful this time, and he will definitely receive the praise from his father after returning, and his position in the court will also be greatly improved. He has to touch his true thoughts carefully.

"Your Highness, please see! This place turned out to be a well-known commercial area. At that time, shops were lined up and many merchants could block alleys, but now ````````"

The carriage has arrived at the commercial district where Bonan Prefecture used to be prosperous, but now it looks like a decay. Several surviving businesses in Yemen are in trouble, which makes people feel sad. Wufeng couldn't help but sighed long when he saw this.

"Oh?" Li Wufeng's words woke Situ Biao up from his thoughts. He looked at it casually like a dragonfly. Situ Biao returned to the carriage. At this moment, he did not have much thought to care about Bonan's economic situation. What he wanted to know more was the person who introduced the situation to him.

After the carriage was built around the city, it drove out of the city. Although Li Wufeng also saw that the Sixth Prince seemed to be not very concerned about Bonan's situation, he still wanted to let Situ Biao look at the current real situation in Bonan's Mansion, and let him go back and report to the ministers and His Majesty the Emperor. Although Wufeng did not have any illusions about the support of the Empire Central Committee, some people were at least not bad for crying, and at least they could give some people some psychological balance.

This is an open land, with kilns distributed in groups of three or three. The withered weeds shivered in the strong northwest cold wind, and you may occasionally see several wild dogs appearing.

Li Wufeng and Situ Biao both got out of the car and walked onto a high ground. "Your Highness, this is the formerly famous official kiln area of ​​the Empire, and there is a private kiln area. More than ten years ago, no matter day and night, the road was full of transport vehicles waiting for loading. All the kilns worked overtime day and night, and people stopped the furnaces. Merchants waited here day and night. At night, it was brightly lit and prosperous for a while!"

Li Wufeng's words finally aroused Situ Biao's interest, "Oh? I didn't expect that this kind of land would fall into such a field now." While sighing, Situ Biao was also carefully looking at this once glorious kiln area.

"I heard that Concubine Sogna (the mother of Situ Biao)'s mother's family is also a prominent family in Wuhu County. She seems to be running a ceramic business of a considerable scale. I wonder if Your Highness is interested in the business here?"

A few plain words of Li Wufeng's tone came into Situ Biao's ears, but it made Situ Biao's spine feel chills. Even in the court, not many people knew about his mother's family. As for the source of funds to support his uncle's family, a large part of the funds were indeed from the business of ceramics, and few people knew about it. Li Wufeng's sense of smell was so sensitive, which made Situ Biao feel a little shocked.

Although Situ Biao's face did not change much, Wufeng saw the loss of consciousness at that moment. "Your Highness, no need to be suspicious. Who supports me? I at least need to understand his situation. Are you right?" Li Wufeng's mouth had a cunning smile.

"Mr. Li's news is very well-informed!" Situ Biao had completely returned to normal and patted Wufeng's shoulder with a smile. "It's easy to talk to smart people. I can persuade them to come here to invest, but how do you solve the problem of the sales of goods here, that is, the trade route? Although Luo Beiren has lost a new defeat, your strength has no advantage to them, not to mention that the North Line trade route has been within their range for a long period of time."

Wufeng was also very impressed by Situ Biao's ability to adapt. Not only did he immediately return to normal, but he also pointed his advice to the point. If he didn't give him a reasonable explanation, it would be difficult to win his belief.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, if I'm not sure about this, how dare I make this suggestion in front of you? To be honest, I have reached a preliminary agreement with Luo Beiren on the passage of trade routes. This is an agreement that is of great benefit to both sides. I think Luo Beiren will probably abide by this agreement without absolute certainty in defeating us." Wufeng blinked and revealed the explosive news lightly.

Situ Biao was a little shocked and surprised. Contracting foreign contracts was the power of the central government. No matter which level of government was at the local level, there was no right to make a decision. Even if the Lin family of Sanjiang or Tiannanlang family had never dared to try it, it would be easy to anger the central government of the imperial system. But this person said it without caring. Isn’t he afraid of outsiders knowing?

After a while of silence, Situ Biao raised his head and looked at Li Wufeng's eyes. Those eyes still seemed calm and quiet, "Aren't Lord Li afraid that I will go back and report?"

He smiled silently, revealing a dazzling white teeth, "Just as your Highness, you just said, there is no need to hide your conversation with a smart person. The harm to me cannot bring any benefits to Your Highness. The combination of interests is enough to overwhelm everything. We both need each other. This is the premise for me to tell you this news."
