Chapter 276: Liu Yunyan, a Man of Martial Virtue
The sun was shining brightly, Shen You was sitting in the yard, with calligraphy works on the table and all the stationery supplies, creating a nice atmosphere.

As soon as the weather got warmer, the plants she raised came back to life. Thanks to the hosting function of the store management system, she didn't have to spend much effort to take care of them. Otherwise, the work in the yard would take several hours.

The fish pond and courtyard in Xiyuan have a considerable management fee every month. In comparison, the system's charges are very reasonable.

After all, Shen You has no shortage of points or money now.

When she counted the gold and silver ingots at the cash register yesterday, there were tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver ingots in the Great Qi realm, not including her own collection of the specially cast and shaped silver rewards from the palace.

There are also gold bars from Lancheng and gems from the temple.

She and Wen Zhi were cutting stones, and after they produced several pieces of fish tank materials, Shen You broke down.

"What's going on? Marble jade again! Did you use some method to select it?"

Shen You looked at Wen Zhi suspiciously. He randomly picked two stones, which were icy jadeite and could also be used to make a bracelet.

"I don't have any, Master Qingtang."

Wen Zhi blinked innocently, resting his chin on Shen You's shoulder, and his arms had wrapped around her without her knowing.

"Why can't I take the initiative to go to the temple plane? Can I only trade when the other party prays?" Shen You asked.

"Maybe it's because the place is too backward, so resources can only be obtained through trading." Wen Zhi replied softly.

The temple plane limits the authority of plane merchants.

"That makes sense. If there were no restrictions and we didn't care about the lives of others, it would be very easy to take over the entire plane." It was simply a dimensionality reduction attack.

Noticing that a customer had come into the store, Shen You signaled Wen Zhi to let go of her.

When Liu Yunyan came over, she was wearing a neat narrow-sleeved women's dress, holding a box in her hand, and performing the greeting in a very formal manner.

"Shopkeeper Shen, the Imperial Master."

"Miss Liu, no, it's General Liu." Shen You greeted with a smile, "Is everything going well recently?"

Liu Yunyan took the snacks handed to her by Shen You and got angry when she talked about the past few days.

"It's okay. But on the day I was awarded the title, the civil officials kept arguing with each other, citing the ancestral etiquette and saying that there was no precedent for a woman in the Great Qi Dynasty to hold military power and become a general, as if it was unjust for me to stand in the court."

"They didn't say it directly, but every word they said was the same. They have no objection to me being made a county lord or princess, but they can't let me continue to command the army."

"I asked them to lead the troops to guard the border, but they said that officials should perform their duties in the court. They are not military generals so they can't go, and I am a woman, so I can't go against Tiangang."

Liu Yunyan couldn't help it and went up to give the other party a big slap.

The other party covered his face and knelt in front of Li Heng, pointing at Liu Yunyan and shouting for him to take charge.

Hearing this, Shen You couldn't help but laugh and gave her a thumbs up, "You have a lot of martial virtues."

If you can take action, never say anything to those people.

This is also the case with the new king ascending the throne, and various forces in the court are playing games and trying to test the waters.

The old emperor was so secure in his throne that he would not tolerate anyone going against his will. He would not tolerate anyone having objections to his arrangements.

Oppose today, exile tomorrow.

The current Da Qi needs to maintain stability and balance the forces in the court. Li Heng dare not be too radical.

He has to shoulder all the problems left by the old emperor.

"If you ask me, it's because the Imperial Master has retired. If you were still here, they wouldn't dare to be so arrogant."

Liu Yunyan looked at Wen Zhi and sighed.

"What happened in the end?" Shen You was a little curious.

"Mr. Zhong, now Lord Zhong is defending me. They still can't stand it, but there's nothing they can do. They say that Da Qi has few capable fighters now."

They want to use a county lady who does not hold power and give her the title of princess to get rid of her. When foreigners attack in the future, will those people be able to stop them?

In fact, those people knew in their hearts that they were taking advantage of her and wanted to suppress her. In the struggle for power, no means were unjustified.

Could Li Heng really have no grudges against these generals who came to Beijing with letters from the late emperor?
It’s just that Da Qi needs these people, so a delicate balance is maintained in the court.

However, these are things that Da Qi needs to consider on his own.

Shen You only promised that he would not do business outside of Da Qi. This could help improve the national strength, but no matter how well the economy develops, if the court and the military are not doing well, the outcome will be the same.

Da Qi can at least hold on for a few more years. Wen Zhi said that the next destiny will be in the Liu family.

Now that Liu Yunyan has the military power, the Liu family has begun to prosper, which has laid the foundation.

Shen You took out the map that he had prepared long ago. It was a blueprint made by scanning it using high technology. The clarity and every detail were impeccable.

In ancient times, it would take years to create such an effect, and the manpower cost would be even greater.

Liu Yunyan didn't expect that the time Shen You mentioned would only be a few days. She thought it would take at least a few months.

She came today to give a thank-you gift. Liu Yunyan didn't know whether to accept such an important drawing, so she let the person outside come and get it herself.

"So fast?"

Shen You smiled and nodded, and Liu Yunyan reacted and opened the box. Her face was illuminated by a whole set of carefully crafted gold items.

Among them there was a golden gourd which suited his taste.

It was obviously made by craftsmen in the palace.

Knowing that Shen You liked these exquisite items, I sent them to her specially.

"Someone's here, don't you want to come in?" Wen Zhi glanced outside with a distracted look.

He said that he wanted to thank Shen You for looking at the terrain and improving the feng shui for Da Qi, but he just happened to choose something she liked as a gift, which was a hint that he was here too.

Play tricks in front of him.

Liu Yunyan had an expression of seeing through everything but not saying anything.

Wen Zhi said calmly, "He wants to personally inspect the drawings, so he'd better come in. We won't be in Da Qi for a while."

So that I don’t have to find any excuses to come here again.

"Not in Da Qi?" Liu Yunyan turned to Shen You, "Manager Shen, what are your plans for the future?"

"I have other things to take care of. Before that, I will go to Nanzhou Prefecture to deliver some medicine."

Shen You has already met Luo Ziya and said that he could give her some medicines to treat women's diseases, as well as some medicines from the Western Regions.

She couldn't transport enough medicine for the entire Da Qi because the quantity was too large. She couldn't open her own medicine factory either, as it required a formula and qualifications.

I can only try my best to send some and give it to Luo Ziya at cost price.

If there are too many, Luo Ziya will also be in trouble.

"Nanzhou. Is it the Miss Luo who runs the pharmacy?!" Liu Yunyan was very excited.

She had heard from her brother that the girl looked weak but had a strong heart.

"Yeah." Shen You also brought it up intentionally.

Others dare not say it, but Liu Yunyan will definitely help Luo Ziya if she has difficulties in the future.

"I'll see you again when I go to Nanzhou in the future."

Liu Yunyan smiled and stood up, pointing to the door, "I'll go ask the people outside first."

You must report it when you see the drawings. It would be very tactless to just take them away.

In the alley and in the carriage, their identities were different, their temperaments had changed, and their every word and action revealed the oppression of those in power.

"Did Miss Shen say that?" Li Heng's tone contained a hint of fondness.
