Chapter 122.1 Table of contents

A young eunuch knocked on the door outside: “His Royal Highness, the fourth prince’s carrier pigeon has flown over.”

The crown prince quickly stood up, “There is news about the fourth prince, please step back.”

He took the pigeon to his side and stepped back to the room and read the letter.

The letter wrote about various things that Song An encountered along the way, as well as the fact that he recognized a teacher (although Liao Tingyu did not admit it). The most important thing was what Liao Tingyu said at night.

The prince shed tears as he read it.

These words were like a ray of light that penetrated his dark soul and gave him direction.

Now he was almost trapped in a swamp, and it was difficult to break free. His counselors were pushing him one by one, competing for this and that, but he had no manpower and full of bad luck, it would always be self-defeating.

He was like a headless fly scurrying around.

Step by step, he sank deeper and deeper, and then he didn’t know where he was?

However, this letter gave him direction and a way out.

He was particularly moved when he thought about his younger brother who still cared about him even when he was in danger.

He knew that this would be the beginning of his journey to success, and that this journey would not be a lonely one.

He quickly collected himself and started writing.

He described his gratitude to the teacher in his heart.

Since his younger brother had recognized Liao Tingyu as the teacher, it didn’t matter if he recognized him as one too.

It was obviously a person who had never been in the court before, maybe even very young, but it brought him a feeling of peace of mind, which he had never felt before.

.

After a month, the fourth prince got the signal and proudly gave the letter to Liao Tingyu. Liao Tingyu looked at the contents and twitched the corner of his mouth.

Why did this royal person feel so familiar?

He actually believed in him so much and was a bit thick-skinned. Seeing how sincere these two people were, he said he had no trouble making money and directly threw three prescriptions to the fourth prince.

One was for making soap, one was for making sugar, and one was for making gunpowder.

‘Don’t ask him how he know!’

He learned a lot in history. He even went to Baidu to check about weaponry. In this era of cold weapons, it was equivalent to a heavenly artifact.

General Zhao looked at the list and was amazed.

He was like a child who got a new toy and proudly showed off to his two nephews: “How is it? Your uncle has a very good vision. With this, I can beat those little bastards back to their hometown and dare not come out.”

“I don’t think so. He and I are obviously equals and you are as old as his uncle.” Zhao Han had been very unhappy these days.

Although he had no shame going to the government office, ate and drank whatever in there. But every time he heard the fourth prince Song An calling teacher to Liao Tingyu, the man ignore him, but his heart would tremble with embarrassment.

“Okay, cousin, don’t be like this. Teacher is a very nice person. Every time you go to eat and drink secretly, Teacher knows about it, and specially orders the kitchen to leave a portion for you.” The fourth prince comforted Zhao Han in a funny way.

“Am I curious about his food? Besides, you are really thick-skinned. Every time you call him teacher, teacher. He didn’t answer your call. But you still call him so affectionately. I don’t know how you do it.” Zhao Han was stabbed in the wound and walked out of the tent angrily.

Zhao Yuan looked at his nephew’s retreating figure and shook his head tiredly. He didn’t know what was going on with the Zhao family. There was never a single literate person in the Zhao family. They were all brave warriors: “Fourth Prince, don’t be angry, he has that temper and a bit of a poisonous mouth.”

“Fifth Uncle, I’m fine, it’s not like I don’t know.”

.

In half a year, the county has changed a lot. General Zhao’s artillery established its prestige and intimidated a bunch of little bastards.

People here were gradually getting fatter. Liao Tingyu made goat milk into goat milk powder and sold it to various places. Businessmen saw business opportunities coming one after another.

He stood on the once barren hillside, where crops had already been planted and harvested.

Those prisoners who had been reformed well through labor were gradually sent home. Now the people helping in the fields were farmers from nearby who came to do part-time labor.

After a series of transformations these days, the land was no longer as barren as it was before and could be equivalent to the level of a medium field.

Liao Tingyu saw that there were not many people wearing shackles, so he called Liao Shi over: “Da-ge, help me divide these areas and put-up notices to see if anyone comes to rent them. Don’t charge too much. Just do it like you did to the people in the village before.”

“Okay, I’ll do it right away.” After so many days of training, Liao Shi had become much more capable and shrewder in doing things, and even his walking posture was straighter.

Every time Liao Ming watched Liao Shi went out to do a mission, he couldn’t help but sigh: “The youngest son still has a way.”

.

.

“My military camp is never a good place. Everyone is a rough old man. I think now that the fourth prince calls you teacher, why not arrange for the fourth prince to live in your house and I will send a few more people over.” Zhao Yuan was going back to the court; the artillery had attracted a lot of people’s attention.

The military camp without him was not a good place for the fourth prince. After thinking about it, he thought the county government office was more suitable.

The key was these two people were already familiar with each other, and they often eat and drink together.

“That’s what he wanted to shout, but I didn’t admit it. Besides, with the power of the county government, do you think it can be that safe?” Liao Tingyu disagreed, “Why don’t you take him back? It’s not good for him to stay outside all the time.”

“You kid, you think I don’t want to. The emperor personally ordered him to stay here for one year.” And it was the crown prince who asked for it.

Since listening to Liao Tingyu’s words, the crown prince’s status had gradually been consolidated, and he had the right to speak in the court. This trivial matter did not appear to be in the eyes of the emperor.

“It’s okay. Let’s find a few people and bring that boy over to you to relieve your boredom. Moreover, when the prince comes to visit, he either lives in Royal Inn or in the best place in the entire county. Isn’t the safest place here is your county government office?” Zhao Yuan continued to persuade.

“Okay, then you have to make sure these people are trustworthy, and the force value must be high, preferably in a mighty way.” Liao Tingyu frowned. He was afraid of trouble, but he also felt that what Zhao Yuan said was reasonable, after all, there was no choice.

After the two people reached an agreement, Liao Tingyu and Huang Zilan rested together.
