Chapter 156 People
"Ms. Guo is very smart, but I really don't intend to charge you. But if you plan to stay in the capital, how will you arrange for your family?" Zhao He looked at the people who were still waiting not far away.
Guo Xin looked over there and saw He Ningxin looking at her with tears in her eyes. The eldest sister waved at her and said, "Sixth Prince, please wait a moment."
After saying that, he walked towards that place. After a while, Guo Ruo and others got on the carriage. There were a lot more guards around them than before. That was because the He family had sent some people away from him. After all, without Guo Xin who was good at martial arts, more guards had to be sent.
After a while, the He family said something to Guo Xin and left.
"Your Highness, can we go to the workshop now?" Guo Xin walked towards Zhao He, leading a horse.
"Of course," Zhao He took the reins from Wen Yan, got on the horse, and said, "We are going to the outskirts of Beijing. Although it is less than half an hour away from the capital, we should hurry there, otherwise we may not be able to catch up when we return, and then we can only be stranded outside the city gate."
As he said this, he turned around to see if Guo Xin was catching up. Seeing that she seemed to be riding a little slowly, he also slowed down.
"I wonder how Your Highness got the news that I made instant noodles?"
Guo Xin said that although she had made instant noodles last night, only a few servants knew the name of the instant noodles, and those servants were very tight-lipped and would never spread the name.
"Your grandmother passed the message to my third brother, and I happened to hear it from him. But I'm not here to help him gain fame." Zhao He turned and said to Guo Xin.
"Build up a reputation? Your third brother already has a lot of reputation. If he wants to build up more, won't that person be suspicious? But this matter was originally done by me, so how can your third brother build up a reputation?"
Zhao He smiled mysteriously and said, "There are many twists and turns in this, but this time we are not doing this for fame, but for the people of our Great Zhao Dynasty."
Guo Xin didn't say anything, patted the horse's butt gently, and walked to Zhao He's side.
Zhao He continued, "If the battle against the Northern Di is successful, then everything will be fine. But once the border is breached, the Northern Di can march straight to the important cities of Da Zhao, and the whole country will be in chaos. It's okay for the rich and powerful, after all, these people can live well no matter who is in power, but the common people are the real victims of the battle."
When Guo Xin heard this, he looked at Zhao He, who was riding a maroon horse beside him. His expression was firm, as if he was not lying. He couldn't help but slowly began to overturn his previous judgment of Zhao He.
Perhaps this Sixth Prince really values money, but he does have good intentions. Or perhaps the silver he obtained earlier was not only for the preparation for the Third Prince's succession to the throne, but also for the purpose of using the Third Prince's power to do something practical for the people?
Zhao He continued, "But Beidi has produced a general that is rare in a century. Even the young General of the Cavalry may not be able to compare with him. At this time, we can only strengthen our internal affairs and make sure that the soldiers are well fed and well-drinked. Then our strength will be much stronger than Beidi."
Guo Xin continued, "Beidi and Grandfather are in the same place, so the food the soldiers eat must be similar. After all, they also suffered from a famine last year. If we can use the instant noodles, it will indeed help Grandfather fight this battle more smoothly."
After that, both of them fell silent.
Perhaps because no one spoke, the horses ran faster and faster. In just three quarters of an hour, the three of them saw the workshop in front.
That workshop was obviously much better than the one Guo Xin had in the village. It was built with neatly stacked blue bricks, and the road surface was extremely flat. There seemed to be a large field behind the workshop.
There were several guards standing at the door of the workshop, seemingly guarding the safety of the workshop, and also seemingly watching over the people in the workshop.
Guo Xin looked ahead and hesitated for a long time. He still asked what he had been thinking about all the way, "When you wanted a share of the workshop, was it not only to help the Third Prince, but also to use the Third Prince's hand to do something?"
Zhao He smiled, but did not give a direct answer. He just said, "I am just a prince, and now I am going out to set up a palace. Even though I am extremely favored, I don't have much real power. But I really don't want to fight, but can I really not fight? What can I do if I don't fight? Not only can I not do anything for myself, I can't do anything for the people either, right?"
Having said that, he had already arrived at the door of the workshop.
"Your Highness, what you ordered has been done." A guard took the horses of the three men, and another guard led them inside, introducing the situation of the workshop to Guo Xin.
While listening to the introduction, Guo Xin was absent-mindedly recalling Zhao He's words, slowly analyzing the meaning of his words based on the information he had heard.
No one would believe that such a favored prince would not want to fight for the throne, but the fact is that there is a prince who is both talented and favored and does not want to fight for the throne.
If he didn't fight, then after the other princes came up, he would be the first one to be killed, so he had no choice but to fight, right? But it really didn't suit his personality, so the Third Prince, who was born to the same mother as him, became the best candidate.
Not only do they have a brotherly bond, but from what he says it seems that the Third Prince is also a kind-hearted prince. So, they must have the same ideals and beliefs.
Moreover, the Third Prince, who can gain the support of his grandparents and the entire He family, must be a good person, at least in terms of his good character.
"Ms. Guo, what are you thinking about?" Zhao He watched Guo Xin walking forward, but there was a wall in front of her, so he reminded her.
Guo Xin came back to his senses, looked at the wall in front of him, and said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I just thought of some things at home, and I was a little absent-minded."
"No problem." Zhao He pointed at the group of cooks in front of him and said, "These are the cooks from my workshop in the suburbs of Beijing. They have superb skills in making your secret recipes, and their comprehension ability is excellent. I carefully selected them from many cooks."
Guo Xin looked at the cooks in front of him. Their ages ranged from early teens to fifties. They all had the same characteristics in their eyes - the same clarity, and they looked intelligent. He couldn't help but smile. This Sixth Prince was indeed a good expert in selecting and employing people.
"Everyone, I'm here to teach you how to make a new food. It's called instant noodles. As the name suggests, it's noodles, but it's different from what we usually eat."
Guo Xin took out the instant noodles wrapped in oil paper from his arms, took out a pot of boiling water from the stove beside him, poured it into the bowl, and put the instant noodles in.
