The little princess' mind was read, and the court and harem were eating melons

Qianniang’s mentality is actually quite easy to understand.

It is better to say that this mentality has appeared in many people. To put it bluntly, those scumbags who abandon their wives after becoming rich also have some of this mentality.

It’s just that Qianniang didn’t abandon Lin Xile. She just chose not to see each other after making sure that Lin Xile was living a good life.

As for whether she would still meet Lin Xile if she was not doing well, no one knew.

Lin Xile was very calm about the attitude of the aunt who once depended on him: If she doesn't want to, then don't meet her.

Just be well on your own.

Although Li Qingyi understood Qianniang's mentality, he felt even more distressed for Lin Xile. He would ask people to send Lin Xile some food and daily necessities whenever he had time, for fear that she would be sad.

It indirectly brought the two closer together.

——————————————————————————————

Since it has been decided to let Lin Xile go, the necessary preparations must be made.

Back then, things were not as convenient as they are today. There were many things to prepare when traveling long distances. Li Qingyi now has some experience in this regard.

But the one with more experience... is Wang Xuan.

Even though Wang Xuan stayed in the capital most of the year, no businessman could really stay in one place. In addition, Chen Qicong had to go back to Jiangnan from time to time to deal with things there, so the couple occasionally went out together quite a few times.

Even though there were some omissions at the beginning, the couple now know best what is necessary to bring on the road and what can be purchased with money after arriving at the destination.

So in the end, it was Wang Xuan who prepared Lin Xile's travel equipment.

This made Lin Xile feel embarrassed, so when she heard Wang Xuan suggest that she write back every once in a while after arriving at the local area to tell her about the things she saw and the customs there, Lin Xile nodded without hesitation.

Whether for business or other purposes, Wang Xuan attaches great importance to collecting information, and this has never changed.

When there is something to do, time always passes quickly. In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival has passed and the Lantern Festival is approaching, and Lin Xile is also about to set off.

During the period from the Spring Festival to the Lantern Festival, Li Qingyi had a lot to do in the palace. Although she often wondered why she was so busy, when she thought about it carefully, it was nothing but human relationships and worldly affairs that she couldn't avoid.

But on the day Lin Xile was leaving, Li Qingyi still made time a day earlier and came to the city gate in person to see her off.

Lin Xile: "Teacher, just send me here. It's only been a few months since last year, so it's possible that some people have forgotten the lesson. The inner city is safer."

"It's okay." Li Qingyi waved his hand, not really caring: "If I were really afraid of this, I would probably never be free again."

This is true.

Lin Xile thought about it, and realized that Li Qingyi was equipped with a system, so the safety should be much higher than she imagined.

But he still advised: "It's freezing cold, and the teacher is still young. If he gets frozen by accident, I'm afraid I won't be able to rest assured on the road."

Then she added, "Besides, the teacher doesn't have to worry so much. Even if we can't meet, we can still communicate through letters."

In fact, what she is talking about here is system chat, but it is not easy to say it openly.

Li Qingyi saw that she really didn't want him to continue sending her off, so after thinking for a while, he sighed and agreed: "Okay, then I'll send her off here. Be careful on your way, and take care of yourself first."

Lin Xile smiled and said, "Thank you, teacher."

Lin Xile is now the only person who still calls Li Qingyi teacher in front of outsiders. Others don't know the reason, but they don't ask, just thinking that she is taking the opportunity to curry favor with the princess.

She didn't explain. First, there was no point in explaining, and she might even be treated as some kind of monster. Second, Lin Xile was too lazy to care about what people around her thought. Living that way would be too tiring, and she just wanted to live her own way.

Li Qingyi gave Lin Xile a few more instructions, which were nothing more than asking him to take care of himself on the road, and that if he encountered any trouble, he could take the token she gave him and seek help from the nearest government. Only when the auspicious time calculated was almost here did she reluctantly let him go.

In comparison, Wang Xuan, who also came to see him off, rode all the way to the gate of the outer city, and the conversation between the two was much simpler.

Wang Xuan: "If anything happens, take the jade talisman and look for the Beijing Chamber of Commerce's property nearby."

Lin Xile: "I understand. Thank you."

Conversation ends.

After leaving the city, Lin Xile sat quietly in the carriage for a long time before slowly lifting the curtain and looking at the scenery slowly receding outside the car with a distant gaze.

Lin Xile: “I’m so lucky.”

She whispered softly.

——————————————————————————————

Li Qingyi originally thought that Lin Xile would be able to come back in a few months, but she didn't expect that Lin Xile would never come back.

It can't be said that he never came back, but when Lin Xile returned to the capital and met her again, seven years had passed.

During these seven years, the two had correspondence and some information communication through the system, but they were far apart.

Especially in the following few years, after Hu Ping'an led his team to temporarily alleviate the grain production problem of the people in the northern area, he heard that the southern area had experienced years of drought after a major flood. Even with high-yield grain, the problem was not alleviated. After writing a letter to the emperor, he took his people to Guangdong and Guangxi.

Lin Xile, Chang Fangyi and others accompanied them.

Even during this period, Li Qingyi gritted his teeth and upgraded the system to another level, but Hu Ping'an and others were still located out of the range, so in the end they still had to leave messages.

According to Hu Ping'an, when he heard the news, he originally wanted to go to Hunan first to see the situation, but when passing through Hunan, he found that the riverside areas such as Hunan and Hubei were severely affected by floods. He did not have the ability to control water, so he had to go to Guangdong and Guangxi first to find ways to increase grain production.

According to Li Qingyi's vague memory, the major grain-producing provinces in the Central Plains at that time were Shanxi and Henan, and the saying "If Huguang is prosperous, the world will be well fed" happened later, which means that the current grain production KPI in the southern region has not reached its expected level.

Hu Ping'an's choice was right.

Besides, this was also for the sake of the people of the world. Although Li Qingyi felt a little regretful that he could not meet his students and did not know when they would meet again in the future, he did not stop it.

Seven years later, with the intentional or unintentional promotion of Wang Xuan and others, the machinery industry has developed from the official to the private sector, and all walks of life have made significant progress, and the country's economy has also improved significantly.

This was naturally due to the influence of the book "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature", but it was also due to the supportive attitude of the emperor sitting on the dragon throne who generously rewarded those folk inventors.

In seven years, under the influence of various aspects, the original city of Beijing has been completely transformed.
