Devising plans
Lin Zhen started organizing the data given by his sub ordinates and his spies. They are well trained in collecting and organizing the minute details without a silver ray of doubt. There are many levels and duties organized for them. They provided a detailed structure of Lemru country -their political condition, economical issues and living conditions.
There are internal conflicts within the country and unrest within the people. The financial struggle and the imbalance in the society and destitute were increasing in high rate which led to lot of troubles and pressure to the king.
This led to the rise of rebellion and looters in the country leading to the invasion along the border.
Lin Zhen's siblings took this as an advantage to send Lin Zhen away from the palace. Lin Zhen thought there may be a serious issue, since it is on the nation's strength he thought to know the root cause and establish foothold in his favor.
Judging from the details gathered he could form an alliance with this country and get support from them during his need when he wants to take the crown.
He must get the king in his favor to have an upper hand. He can of course make it happen. He wants to give some benefits to the king so that he will stand by his side.
Fu Zhou on the other hand, started learning about the Lemru's topology, climatic and geographical conditions.
Fu Zhou as a trader was very interested in learning about the countries. So he is fascinated in knowing about the country's physical conditions and its nature.
This is also an additional benefit for his enormous trade growth and accumulation of huge wealth despite his age. He gains favor from the king as well as other countries in other words he is the huge bargainer who no one knows.
"A trader never makes a loss in negotiation."
"The wise trader walks away richer—even when his hands are empty."
He is an expert in this area; he never makes a deal or takes a step without knowing the situation.
He realized that Lemru has mineral deposits in the mountain region and it earns huge wealth and development of the country. So he decided to know more about it. He has friends in different countries and distant lands due to his nature of job.
He once heard from his friend that minerals are in high demand and we are in lack of it.
He decided to ask him about more details and develop a trade relation.
Having decided on his plan and sent a message to his friend, he went to Lin Zhen's study.
He was engrossed in work fully focused in his strolls and details lay on the table.
Fu Zhou entered the study with light steps and hugged him from behind holding his waist and leaned his body on Lin Zhen's back and placed his head on Lin Zhen shoulder ,he turned to see while Fu Zhou pressed his lips against his.
After the fervent kiss he sat on Lin Zhen's lap in a comfortable position and started kissing again. Lin Zhen pulled Fu Zhou closer hands roaming all over his body while Fu Zhou invaded Lin Zhen's mouth wandering through every part in his mouth they separated only when both of them are out of their breath.
They lay on each other's shoulders catching their breath.
Fu Zhou said he found a trade relation could be made which may be a great advantage.
Lin Zhen's interest piqued he eagerly asked
" what have you found?".
Fu Zhou had a smug look on his face.
"Mineral deposits,coal,which is heavy demand and the main thing we lack in our country" Fu Zhou replied.
Lin Zhen was happy beyond words.
He lifted Fu Zhou in the air and laughing heartily.
Fu Zhou had rarely seen him smile, far more than the happiness in his face right now made Fu Zhou stunned.
Lin Zhen kissed him all over the face with pure happiness,seeing Lin Zhen smiling face Fu Zhou also felt happy.
