“When the situation in the capital is settled, 1 will send someone to pick you up.”
Princess Anyang subconsciously wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she held back.
“Alright.”
His Highness has come to the capital for a big matter.
She wouldn’t be of much help if she followed him. Instead, she would only cause trouble.
In that case, it would be better to stay in the Imperial Residence. This way, His Highness and brother would be at ease.
Prince Anyang was touched and hugged his princess again.
“Don’t worry, after this is done, I will definitely send someone to bring you back to the capital.”
“Yes.”
The Liu Manor.
Lin Xiaoyue had seen the people from Prine Anyang’s Mansion and arranged for people to go to the dock to find Li Xiao.
After Li Xiao returned, the person told him about the matter.
“Alright, after I’ve arranged the matters in the residence, I’ll go with you to see
His Highness.” Li Xiao quickly made a decision.
Only then did the person relax and leave with the servants of the Liu residence. “Why are you in such a hurry? If we set off now, it will probably be night by the time we reach Nan’an County.” Lin Xiaoyue asked Li Xiao anxiously.
“The situation in the capital is tense. The Emperor is seriously ill, and the earlier Your Highness enters the capital, the better the situation will be for us.” “The matter of mobilizing troops is of great importance. I have to personally go to the Anyang Residence to discuss it with His Highness.
After thinking for a while, Li Xiao said, “after I leave, go find Head Fang and Xiao Yang. Tell them to make some preparations in advance. I’m afraid we’ll have to leave in two days at the latest.”
Lin Xiaoyue felt a sense of panic in her heart.
“Alright.”
Li Xiao reached out his hand and touched the side of Lin Xiaoyue’s head. “You don’t have to wait for me tonight. 1’11 go back to the Liu residence directly tomorrow.”
“Yes.” Lin Xiaoyue nodded obediently.
Li Xiao’s eyes flashed with reluctance.
Then, he went forward and lowered his head to plant a kiss on Lin Xiaoyue’s forehead.
“I’m leaving now.”
With that, he turned around and left.
Lin Xiaoyue subconsciously wanted to chase after him, but she stopped herself.
After a while, she recovered from her disappointment.
Walking out of the study, he ordered the servants to invite Li Wan, Head Fang, and Xiao Yang over.
Li Wan and Head Fang were in the Liu residence at the moment, so they came very quickly.
Only Xiao Yang still had to send people to find him.
After Li Wan and Head Fang arrived, Lin Xiaoyue did not wait any longer and directly informed the two of them that the Nangong Army was about to set off on the same day.
“Mr. Li and Shanshan are keeping an eye on the faster side. I’m very relieved.”
“After 1 leave, I’ll have to trouble you to keep an eye on the workshop, especially the sausage and bacon workshop. We have to at least maintain our current production.”
Over at the industrial park, the number of people involved in the construction had reached nearly 400, and the number was still increasing.
Even if they didn’t pay for the materials, the food, drinks, and wages of these four hundred people were not a small amount.
The income from Liu’s Express and the chili workshop was relatively stable, but the income from these two places could not support the cost of the industrial park development.
On the other hand, the cured meat and sausage workshop had higher profits and did not have to worry about orders. If it was done well, it could reduce a lot of pressure on the accounts.
“Yes, sir! Don’t worry, Miss.” Head Fang quickly replied.
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and looked at Li Wan.
“I’ll leave the industrial park to you.”
“You’ll be in charge of the progress of the project. As for the project funds, let
Head Fang work with you. You guys can discuss it later.”
Li Wan and Head Fang looked at each other and nodded at Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue sighed.
“Once the Nangong Army leaves, we will have to rent out the land next year. At that time, the industrial park will be the most ideal place to settle our retired brothers.”
As soon as she said this, Li Wan and Head Fang immediately looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled. “An industrial park can accommodate tens of thousands of workers. When our brothers come back, we have to make sure that they have work to do and can live well.”
Li Wan and Head Fang were both touched and nodded.
This time, there were close to five thousand soldiers of the Nangong Army who met the requirements for the expedition.
It would be difficult for these people to return after this trip.
Even if Prince Anyang could successfully ascend the throne, he would not be at ease with so many Nangong Army soldiers returning to Qingshi Town.
If the Nangong Army wanted to retire, they could only be disabled or endure until they were old and retired.
However, there was the Liu Industrial Park waiting for them. Leaving a path of retreat for them, the Nangong Army could be considered to have some expectations.
“Yue’er, thank you!” Li Wan’s expression changed as she suddenly said to Lin Xiaoyue.
This wasn’t her responsibility, but she was the one who had shouldered all of this for the Nangong Family..
