The ribbons are floating outside Gusu City, and a few rows of willow trees are fiddling with branches in the wind on the banks of Taihu Lake. The newly-swept tender leaves are green in green and full of spring.

Passengers who were on a youth tour stopped and looked at the guard of honor who was leading the way in the distance, and the guards slowly drove towards Suzhou City with a carriage.

In this extremely grand carriage, Gu Ling'er lifted the curtain and talked excitedly about the customs and customs along the way. The little loli was so beautiful that several listeners were not interested. Hou Xuanyan simply yawned and asked, "Is Suzhou City almost here?"

Gu Ling'er said angrily: "I won't tell you next time!"

Huang Ying'er, who was half asleep, raised her head from Hou Xuanyan's arm, rubbed her eyes, and said, "This is what you said, you have to keep your word."

Gu Ling'er was so angry that she turned her head and sulked, and was carried over by Hou Xuan.

Xia Wanchun rushed forward outside the car and said, "Prince, Suzhou is here."

Hou Xuanyan walked out of the carriage, and a large number of people had gathered outside Suzhou City. After seeing Hou Xuanyan's ceremonial war, Suzhou officials were all admiring.

The prince's ceremonial war was already great, especially Hou Xuanyan also brought his family, but the ceremonial war in front of him was not as good as the Duke of the Warring States Period. In addition to the personal guards, there were few people who beat drums and drums.

It is said that Hou Xuanyan advocated post-war frugality, and all officials in Jinling responded. Now it seems that he is indeed worthy of his reputation.

Almost all the officials, officials and officials from Suzhou were welcomed. After Hou Xuanyan got off the carriage, he was immediately surrounded.

Suzhou is where he rebelled, and almost everywhere he was full of his confidants. Hou Xuanyan was also very interested. When he turned to see, Xia Wanchun and Xia Yunyi had already staged a long-term reunion. Hou Xuanyan's impression of Xia Yunyi, who had always been in a pretentious and conservative way, did not make such a fool of himself, and she pulled her son's tears and dripped.

After four years of separation, Xia Wanchun, who went north to Taihu Lake to fight the Qing Dynasty on his wedding night, really never left the battlefield for a moment. Now that he has achieved success, how can he not let his father cry?

He brought his group to the Hou Mansion. Hou Qizeng did not expect so many people to come, and he greeted everyone with a smile.

The backyard of the Hou Mansion began to become busy. It was originally thought it was a family dinner, but now it has become a full house of guests.

Two princesses, one big and one small, were pulled into the backyard and talked to several women from the Hou family. Although the Hou family was once a prominent family in Jiangnan, there were very few left after repeated disasters. Hou Qizeng's wife, with her daughter-in-law Xia Shuji and a pregnant Yang Fujin, almost all of them were the population.

After Huang Ying'er entered the backyard, her eyes never left Yang Fujin's bulging belly, which made the little military doctor feel uneasy.

Miao'er quietly stretched out her hand behind her lady, twisted her back, reminding her not to lose her manners. Huang Ying'er lowered her voice and muttered: "It's too biased."

Yang Fujin is now the object of protection for the whole mansion. Mrs. Hou observed his expression and said with a smile: "Jin'er can't sit forever. Since she has paid homage to the princess, let's go back to the bed and lie down and rest."

Huang Ying'er opened her mouth and said, "Slow down."

Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on her, and even Mrs. Hou was sweating. Yang Fujin stood timidly and was at a loss with the help of the maid.

Huang Ying'er took out a rag-shaped thing from her sleeve, her face turned red, and she said, "This is the little dress I embroidered for the child, you can take it."

“…”

The twins lowered their heads and looked at their toes with all their concentration. It seemed that the crested boots had endless mysteries. This piece of rag...ah, this dress is the masterpiece of the three of them.

Yang Fujin felt warm in her heart. She took the clothes that looked like rags. Her eyes turned red and said softly, "Thank you Princess."

Huang Ying'er smiled and said, "It's all her own family, just call me sister."

"Thank you sister."

Hou Xuanyan outside the lobby was much more lively. Gu Youde and Hou Qizeng surrounded Hou Xuanyan in the middle. Hou Qizeng held Hou Xuanyan's hand and asked, "Wen Yuan, how many days will be spent this time?"

"Come here for Suzhou and take a look, and set off for Songjiang in the evening."

Although Hou Qizeng couldn't bear to let it go, he still said, "National affairs are important. I will continue to prepare the salutes on the road for you."

Gu Youde took the opportunity to say, "That girl Ling'er hasn't been back for a long time. This time I will leave her in Suzhou for a few days. After Wenyuan comes back, we will return to Beijing together."

Hou Xuanyan nodded and smiled, "The girl who was so young back then is now so graceful. Only Taigong is in good spirits and has never seen the old man at all."

Gu Youde was older than Hou Qizeng in grades and looked very strong. He didn't feel humble after hearing this. He touched his beard and smiled: "It's just a little effort to keep health preservation."

Hou Xuanyan talked about sea business with Gu Youde again. Now, under the leadership of Gu Youde, almost all merchants in Suzhou are involved in sea transportation.

Suzhou has a wide range of water and land, and is a good distribution center. It is close to Songjiang Prefecture and can go to sea at any time.

Gu Youde said with a little dissatisfaction: "Wenyuan, you promised those red-haired men to go ashore for a year or two months. Every time they come, they are like sweeping the floor, and they want to buy all the entire coast. I heard that even the cannon barrels were stuffed on their boats."

Hou Xuanyan laughed and said, "Those red-haired people are called Dutch people. They are fighting with Zheng Zhilong on Dongfan Island. It is not easy to grab some goods from here, and it is inevitable that they are a bit ugly. These are all small things. Now there is the biggest problem, and it will be great if the hidden dangers are not solved."

Gu Youde's expression changed and he said, "Talk inside."

Hou Xuanyan and him squeezed out of the crowd and came to the inner room. Gu Youde couldn't wait to ask: "The commercial tax paid by the maritime merchants now is enough to support the operation of the court. The situation is very good, what are the hidden dangers?"

Hou Xuanyan sighed and said, "A large amount of silver poured into our Ming Dynasty, but we bought very little things from outside. The silver was pressed into the hands of merchants. Over time, the silver would become worthless. When our merchants went out, they bought some spices and peppers, which were just to satisfy their verbal desires and the cost was very limited."

Gu Youde has reached the pinnacle of business, but after hearing these words, he can understand it. He feels a little disagreeable. If you make money in your hands, it will be a bad thing.

"From Wenyuan's opinion, how should we solve it at this time?"

"Let the businessmen spend their money, build factories, and develop industrial."

Gu Youde has been completely confused until now and asked, "Factory?"
