After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

Chapter 644 - 644 Not This Time


644 Not This Time

Shi Qingluo was also surprised to hear Xiao Hanzheng’s words.

“Isn’t he always very cautious? How did he fall into the trap of the heir of the Northern King?”

She felt that there was something wrong.

Xiao Hanzheng held her hand and said, “My wife is so smart.”

“He was betrayed by his trusted deputy, who leaked his travel route.”

Shi Qingluo thought about it and asked,”His deputy is colluding with Ge kingdom? Is it the doing of the Northern King’s concubine?”

Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “That’s right. Ge Chunru’s father once saved the deputy general and he was injured in the Ge family for a while. At that time, Ge Chunru’s mother was still alive and took good care of him. He has always remembered that. ”

“Ge Chunru and her brother are both dead. He feels bad.”

“Then, Ge Chunru’s mother sent someone to persuade him. In addition, he was a little interested in Ge Chunru’s mother, so he agreed to betray his scumbag father.”

Shi Qingluo raised her eyebrows. “I didn’t expect Ge Chunru’s mother to be so capable.”

Not only did she seduce the Northern King to marry her as a concubine, but she also seduced the people around her scumbag father.

If she didn’t like him, she probably wouldn’t have agreed to do such a thing to betray her scumbag father.

“Does that scumbag father know?” she asked.

Xiao Hanzheng shook his head. “He doesn’t know.”

“Actually, if I hadn’t arranged someone around my scumbag father and accidentally discovered that there was something wrong with that deputy general, and only discovered the problem after watching that person’s movements, no one else would have known about this except Ge Chunru’s mother and that deputy general.”

“Should I tell your scumbag father?” Shi Qingluo asked.

” What do you think? ” Xiao Hanzheng asked with a smile.

“I think we should let him know,” Shi Qingluo said truthfully.

“He was able to climb to the position of general in the past. Other than having some ability, he also relied on grandfather to teach him martial arts.”

“Then he abandoned his wife for Ge Chunru. Although he also abandoned Ge Chunru, I don’t think it’s enough.”

“Let him know that it was Ge Chunru’s mother who crippled his legs and ruined his future. Only then will he feel that he was blind in the past. For someone like Ge Chunru, he lost his home, his future, and the rest of his life.”

“Letting him live in pain and regret for the rest of his life is the best punishment and revenge.”

A person’s death was like a lamp going out. If he died, it would be written off. That would be so boring.

Although the little husband’s family was ruined by Ge Chunru in his previous life, the culprit was actually his scumbag father.

Without his indulgence and turning a blind eye, Ge Chunru would not have been so bold.

Before they had left Xiaxi Village, his scumbag father had also made a move. He wanted to cripple her little husband so that he could stay in the village forever. Therefore, it was too easy for him to die.

Xiao Hanzheng took Shi Qingluo into his arms. “My wife said exactly what I thought.”

Not only were they a loving couple, but they were also soulmates.

Shi Qingluo wrapped her arms around his waist. “Our hearts are connected.”

“Is a real war about to break out between the two countries?” she asked.

Xiao Hanzheng found that his wife was not only smart but also far-sighted. “Yes, the Northern King is under house arrest in the capital. Ge Kingdom will probably use him as an excuse to start a war.”

Shi Qingluo sighed. “Sigh, once they start fighting, the people and soldiers at the border will suffer.”

However, the war between the two countries would start sooner or later. After all, the difference in national strength between the two countries was not big. One mountain could not accommodate two tigers. Both wanted to defeat the other party and become the king.

Furthermore, Ge Kingdom was too aggressive, and Daliang could not achieve peace even if they wanted to.

Unless Daliang took a step back, they might have to pay tribute to the emperor. This was not something the emperor could tolerate and even she could not accept it.

Xiao Hanzheng hugged her tightly. “We will have an advantage in this battle. Let’s make it quick.”

In his previous life, Daliang had experienced King Jin’s rebellion and the previous dynasty’s rebellion. Both the economy and the army had been greatly damaged. In addition, there were people like Ge Chunru, which was why Daliang had lost several cities.

Not this time.

Shi Qingluo nodded. “Yes, I believe that with you around, we will definitely be able to turn the tables and scare Ge Kingdom into submission. They will not dare to step into the borders of Daliang Kingdom again.”

Xiao Hanzheng kissed her forehead. “I will not let you down!”

He had already written a memorial to the throne and sent a letter to the capital, asking the emperor to transfer troops and grain to the northern border to prepare for battle at any time.

In the following period of time, Shi Qingluo was mainly in charge of the Artisan Academy’s enrolment.

With students, there would naturally be teachers.

Apart from the craftsmen that his father had given him, Xiao Hanzheng had also gone to many other families and each family had sent a few experienced craftsmen to teach in the Artisan Academy.

Xi Rui also wrote a letter back to the capital, asking his family to find a batch of experienced craftsmen to be sent to Northern City as teachers.

As he followed Shi Qingluo to help, he continued to learn from the existing craftsmen.

Shi Qingluo realized that Xi Rui was very talented in mechanics. Not only could he draw inferences from one example, but he could also create many new gadgets.

Recently, the Shuili Road between Northern City and Heyang County had been repaired, and the trade between the two places had gradually developed.

Xi Rui had heard her mention a tricycle once, and a few days ago, he had really gotten it out.

It was similar to the modern three-wheeled motorcycle. There were several iron mines in the northern border. The workshop under the magistrate did not lack iron, so the frame was made of iron.

He also created two types, one to pull people and the other to pull goods.

When Shi Qingluo saw these two types of cars, she personally went to try them out.

Although it was more cumbersome than the modern ones, it was also much easier than pulling it by hand.

She smiled and suggested, “You can open a car shop that specializes in selling and renting such cars.”

Xi Rui was much calmer now than when he first came to the north. “I also wanted to start a car shop to sell or rent cars for fun.”

“How do you rent the cars?” he asked curiously.

“We’ll build a batch of tricycles and rent them to people to transport people or goods,” Shi Qingluo said.

“After all, if you want to sell your tricycle, the rich won’t be able to use it. If they want to pull things, they can use a carriage. The poor can’t afford it.”

“Then, other than selling, you can open a car rental agency.”

“A tricycle that can carry people. It can be rented to poor and strong people to carry people in Northern City.”

“For example, if I walk from here to the west of the city, it will take me fifteen minutes. If I can take a tricycle, I can save at least half the time and not get tired.”

“Coachmen can also earn money to subsidize their families by pulling people.”

She had also seen the tricycle that was used to transport people. She suddenly remembered that she had once watched a television drama from the 1990s. At that time, the tricycle was very popular.

This could also solve many employment problems.

Although Northern City was not as prosperous as the capital, it was still bustling. The big families all had carriages when they went out, but the small families could not afford a carriage.

If there was a human-powered three-wheeled motorcycle and the price was reasonable, many people would be willing to take it.

“It’s the same for pulling goods. A three-wheeled cart is faster than an ox cart. As long as the price is right, business will definitely not be bad.”

In the 80s and 90s, three-wheeled motorcycles were very popular. He believed that it would also become popular in ancient times.
