Chapter 171: Sweet Potato

Su Zhen Ting, but to connect with his future crown princess, Su Jin Pa.Having previous experience, the steward of General Li's mansion immediately saw Li Chen and quickly led him to the inner courtyar...Chapter 171: Sweet Potatoes

This was said cleverly.

It not only expressed its own stance but also gracefully ended the situation.

Li Chen smiled instead, giving Chen Tong a barely passing score in his heart.

He just thought too much.

Sān bǎo jiù bǐ tā cōngming. Please let me know if you'd like any other text translated!

Under the same circumstances, if Sān Bǎo were to answer, they would undoubtedly express their desire for power openly and honestly.

Because Chen Tong didn't understand, whether it was Li Chen or the emperor currently lying on the dragon bed unable to move, the one who had founded the Dongchang.

There's no fear that people below will have ambition, even the greater the ambition the better.

Ambitious people are the ones who take action and thus gain control.

Otherwise, how could the emperor have given all the power of the Dongchang to Sanbao

"This palace understands."

Li Chen didn't even bother to give any pointers.

This kind of thing, Chen Tong can understand it himself if he can. If he can't understand it, in his entire life, he will at most be a commander of the Jinyiwei who does his job well. If he wants to take another step up, it's almost impossible.

From Li Chen's nonchalant attitude, Chen Tong couldn't fathom Li Chen's thoughts at all. He became somewhat uneasy, wondering if his answer hadn't been good enough.

There will only be one chance, and Chen Tong won't be able to ask the prince what his answer was.

Unable to suppress the turmoil within her heart, Chen Tong spoke, "Your Highness, earlier this morning, the Crown Princess had already returned to the palace."

"It's getting late, it's time to head back. How is she doing Is she in good spirits" Li Chen asked.

Although there were some concerns about Lord Zhao and his wife's injuries, with the imperial physician treating them, recovery was simply a matter of time, so it was tolerable. However, Lord Zhao went to the refugee camp outside the city at noon and didn't return until the Crown Princess returned to the palace.

Li Chen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Very good, not bad."

What Li Chen needs most right now are capable people who are willing to work. No matter what their ambitions or desires are, Li Chen is willing to use them.

Zhaohéshān has rich experience in place management, and Lichen precisely valued this point. At least so far, Zhaohéshān hasn't disappointed him.

"When you get back, tell Zhao Heshan that he can start working at any time. If he encounters any difficulties, have him seek out Hu Changqing from the Ministry of Revenue and Guan Zhiwei from the Ministry of Works so they can provide full support."

As soon as Li Chen's words were uttered, a voice called from outside the door.

Liu Sicun requests an audience.

Li Chen raised an eyebrow, a hint of delight on her face, and said, "Bring him in quickly."

This was Chen Tong's first time seeing the Crown Prince show such obvious joy at meeting a woman. After being stunned for a moment, he silently memorized the name and turned to leave to bring someone in.

Moments later, Liu Sichun entered the Xizheng Hall, while Chen Tong politely left.

Upon seeing Li Chen again, Liu Sichun still possessed that same mature charm. She bowed slightly and said, "This woman, Liu Sichun, greets Your Highness."

Li Chen asked, "But did the sweet potatoes I asked you to find last time turn up"

Seeing Li Chen so anxious, Liu Sichun, although confused about what big deal this could be, did not dare to delay and replied, "Indeed, there's news."

"Speaking, Liu Sichun took out a small cloth bag from her bosom and said: 'The maidservant had someone in Zhejiang and Fujian find this. It can be confirmed that this is the plant that the maidservant's father saw back then, but I cannot be sure if it is what Your Highness is looking for... Please take a look yourself.'"

Li Chen strode up to Liu Sichun, flipped open the small cloth bag and took a closer look. Inside, he saw a plant lying there. Its leaves were short and plump, its stem short, but the fruit growing at its base was very noticeable.

Is this not a sweet potato from the later generations, or something elsehe real person in charge, and said, "Boy, don't make things bigger.""What's the worst that could happen"Li Chen said calmly, "People say that one learns from their mistakes. Looking at you, it seems y...
