Beihanguan, Daxia Chamber of Commerce.

The main hall on the ninth floor.

There was a eunuch dressed in dark red, full of silver hair, holding a handful of dust in his hand, bowing in front of Xia Xin.

"Little princess, pass on the Queen Mother's message. ”

Xia Xin's face changed, and he hurriedly saluted: "Queen Mother Fukang!"

"Xiao Nizi, you have been in Beihanguan for half a year, and now the Chamber of Commerce has not improved, do you think it will be useful to donate a little food to make those untouchables grateful to you? It's almost the New Year, if you don't make any achievements, come back, you have to accept your fate!" The old eunuch is amazing, and he has been with the Queen Mother all the year round, even if Xia Xin is facing him, he has a great sense of oppression.

Because he represents the current Empress Dowager of the Xia Kingdom, even his father and the emperor are in awe.

"I just want to make the people feel better, I won't go back to the imperial capital for the New Year this year, and I will definitely make some achievements in Beihanguan. Princess Xia Xin stood up and spoke firmly.

"That's it, I knew that your little girl would be unconvinced, anyway, before the age of eighteen, you didn't make any achievements, so come back obediently. The old eunuch said, and then smiled brightly, and said: "Princess, the queen mother also feels sorry for you, why should you suffer in this place where birds don't!"

"Father-in-law Hong, I have worked hard for you, I will definitely not disappoint her old man, there are still various matters in my chamber of commerce, so I won't entertain you. Xia Xin personally sent him away.

Hong Sheng saw Xia Xin's eviction order, and naturally he was also interested, no matter how strong his cultivation was, Xia Xin's identity and status were there, even if the Queen Mother wanted her to marry, she couldn't force it, she could only use a reasonable excuse.

"Well, the mountains and rivers here are poor, and the princess herself has to adapt to it. Hong Sheng left with a smile, and when he turned his back to Xia Xin, his face was constricted, and there was a chill in his eyes.

After he left the Chamber of Commerce, he entered a private house.

"Father-in-law Hong, it seems that my little sister didn't give you any good looks. A young man in brocade clothes, with a bright smile, grabbed Hong Sheng's hand, took out a piece of fairy jade, and said: "You say this girl, you are not sensible, after all, Hong Gonggong is also on behalf of the Queen Mother, and she has to pass on the word to her. ”

"Sixth Prince, why did you come to Beihanguan?" Hong Sheng's eyes lit up, this is a piece of high-grade immortal jade, although his cultivation is high, but the immortal jade is exclusively for the royal family, as well as the top ministers in the court, as well as the national teacher, the number is very small, occasionally the queen mother has rewards, and they are all low-grade immortal jade, medium-grade immortal jade, there are not many opportunities to give high-grade immortal jade, so he will naturally accept it.

"It's not a rumor that the old immortal master is running out of time, so come and stare at it, if something really happens, I'll see if I can get a piece of the pie, and if my little sister gets up, I'm afraid that the people here won't be able to suppress her, so naturally she will be here, in case she lifts my nest in the North Hanguan, then it's okay? I now hope that she will return to the imperial capital as soon as possible, although it is a poor mountain and bad water, but it is a piece of fat. "This young man is the current sixth prince, Xia Yuan.

"Hehe, the little princess has been pampered all year round, how can she know the way to do business, the old immortal master went out to seek medical treatment, and asked Su Jiuwei to help take care of the only grandson, what can a little fox do, Shang Tianzheng dares to be so relieved, it must be a hindsight. Hong Sheng obviously had a certain understanding of the old immortal master, and he smiled and said, "You still need to be cautious, his methods are not what you young children can imagine." ”

"Oh?" Xia Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "I think that Shang Yin is very ordinary, this is eighteen years old, he has just become a mortal realm, he is simply a waste, the old immortal master's creation has no successor, and he should share the profits with the royal family of Xia Kingdom." ”

"The Queen Mother is staring, the old immortal master's things, our Xia Kingdom royal family always has to get a piece of the pie, as long as that old guy really has an accident, then Shang Yin's future path is equivalent to being completely broken. Gonggong Hong smiled and said: "But what the six princes should fight for, they can still fight for it." ”

"Thank you Grandpa Hong for the point. Xia Yuan smiled brightly and said, "Come here, set up a banquet for Gonggong Hong to pick up the wind and wash the dust." ”

In the main hall of the Chamber of Commerce, after sending Hong Sheng away, Xia Xin's face was pale, she never thought that in just half a year, the Queen Mother began to put pressure on her.

Here, she has no one to rely on.

The only high departure is also very limited in his help.

Although she has some capable people, there are many people who have stayed in this chamber of commerce for many years, and she can't move easily at all, although she is the president, but she is limited in doing things.

It was difficult to advance, and the past six months had made her very anxious.

"It seems that there is only one person who can help me now. Xia Xin knew that the more at this time, the more she couldn't give up, so she gave the order as soon as possible.

Hundreds of guards followed her out of the Chamber of Commerce and went straight to the Tianzheng Taoist Temple.

For half a year, she has always wanted to cultivate some local strength in Beihanguan, but she found that she has never been able to commune with these people, and there is only one person, that is, Shang Yin, which does not make her feel alienated.

————

Tianzheng Taoist Temple.

"You're good at cultivating. Su Jiuwei said leisurely.

"What, are you peeking at my cultivation again? I'm sorry, I've put on my clothes these past few days. Shang Yin smiled cheekily.

"Who rarely looks at you?" Su Jiuwei remembered that day when Shang Yin was cultivating, his face was slightly hot.

"What have you been doing these days?" Shang Yin asked with a smile.

"I went down the mountain and looked, after the food and cotton clothes were distributed, Beihanguan was a little popular, there were lights everywhere, and there was a little New Year's atmosphere, I have to say that Xia Xin did this thing, and it was still very good. A smile of relief appeared on Su Jiuwei's face.

"Princess Xia Xin is essentially a relatively good royal family. Shang Yin nodded slightly.

The two chatted for a while, and suddenly, outside the Tianzheng Taoist Temple, there was a knock on the door.

Su Jiuwei went to open the door, and she turned around and said, "Princess Xia Xin asks to see, do you want to see her?"

"Oh, please let her in. Shang Yin went to the side hall, because there was an incarnation of his grandfather in the main hall, and it was inconvenient to meet guests.

"Good. Su Jiuwei immediately led her in, and the hundred guards could only stand outside the door.

People who can make Princess Xia Xin and others block the door, except for the Xia Kingdom Palace, is this Tianzheng Taoist Temple.

She led Xia Xin to the side hall.

Out of hospitality, although a little shabby, Su Jiuwei still took out a few pottery cups and poured boiling well water with a kettle.

Xia Xin didn't dislike the poor conditions here, picked up the rough texture of the pottery cup, took a sip of hot water, and said, "It's so sweet." ”

"I heard my grandfather say that this old well has indeed been used for thousands of years, and the water quality is indeed okay. Shang Yin also drank water and said, "Why is the princess here this time?"

"Cough, it's a bit embarrassing to say, but Little Heavenly Master is compassionate, since you have already helped me clear some inventory a few days ago, it is better to help me clear some more, and buy the basic materials of the people's life, it should also be a good deed, this time I promise not to compete with you for fame." Xia Xin is also straightforward and does not beat around the bush.

"Emergency, not poverty, no matter how much the people of Guanzhong believe in my grandfather, it is impossible for me to help them settle everything in their lives, meet their basic food and not be frozen to death, and the rest still has to rely on themselves. Shang Yin took a sip of water and said gently.

"Well, I know that my request is a bit unacceptable. Xia Xin could understand what Shang Yin meant.

"Actually, I know what the princess wants, but your approach is not a cure for the symptoms. Shang Yin opened his mouth and said, since she knew her predicament, she took the initiative to ask for help, and it was more useful to be anxious and send charcoal in the snow, which was more useful than icing on the cake.

"I want to hear about it. Xia Xin's heart moved.

"The princess will suddenly come to the North Cold Pass, there must be a reason, not just as simple as training. Shang Yin looked at her.

Xia Xin's expression changed slightly, but he didn't say anything.

"But it can be seen that the princess hopes that the entire Beihan Pass can get better, but she has just arrived at the Chamber of Commerce, and it is inevitable that she doesn't know if those people can be used for herself, and which people are Yang Fengyin and ...... disobey the "Shang Yin knew this kind of thing too well in his previous life, the more people who came to higher places, they were very famous on the surface, but if they went to some places, the dark ditches in the corners and corners were very tricky and difficult for them to deal with.

"It seems that you know a lot about the Chamber of Commerce?" Xia Xin was obviously talked about the pain point.

"After all, I have also lived in Beihanguan for more than ten years, and the interests of the Chamber of Commerce are entangled, and they are all intertwined, all of them are sophisticated, and the imperial power is not easy to suppress, unless there is a very positive reason. Shang Yin sighed lightly.

"I think the little immortal master should have a solution. Xia Xin knew through his own ears and eyes the conversation between him and Gao Li that day, and felt that Shang Yin was not simple.

"I can help the princess empty the useless inventory of the entire Chamber of Commerce at ninety percent of the cost price, but you can't let people know that I helped you in this matter. Shang Yin said solemnly.

"Is this true?" Xia Xin's heart trembled, if this is the case, he will be able to report better accounts to the General Chamber of Commerce during the Chinese New Year.

"While I help the princess clear her inventory, I can also help you understand those who can't really do things for you. Shang Yin said slowly.

"How to do it?" Xia Xin was a little puzzled.

"You send an order to go down and let them report the cost price, if they can report it truthfully, it proves that this person is available, if they can't report it truthfully, it proves that they often fill their pockets, and such people can still stay in the Chamber of Commerce? Including the tenant merchants, if you help them relieve the pressure, they still want to make a profit from you, such merchants, don't use it, and the rest of the people who report truthfully, they should be promoted, they must be grateful to you, at least temporarily, do business, the first is sincere, this level can't be passed, let alone later. Shang Yin said solemnly.

"Okay, since you will bring it up like this, there is naturally a method available to you, then I will let everyone be responsible for a part of the goods and let them be responsible for the quotation. Xia Xin looked very excited, Shang Yin's move can make her very relieved to change blood, it is really an unusable person, she can be replaced without hesitation, and now she has just arrived at the Chamber of Commerce, although the new official has taken office, she can't be untargeted.

"Aren't you afraid, I'll give you a list randomly?" Shang Yin smiled and said.

"I believe that the people taught by the old immortal master, not to mention that Gao He wanted to kill you with cold water that day, you can judge that there may be someone behind the instigation, there is no plan to fight with the Beihan Mansion, if I don't believe in such wisdom, then no one can use it, I will go back to implement it, and soon someone will send the goods outside the Taoist temple." Xia Xin got up, and she didn't ask much about where the inventory that Shang Yin had purchased would be used.

Should ask, shouldn't ask, naturally she won't ask more.

"Help me send the princess. Shang Yin stood up and bowed his hand, smiling slightly.

"Yes. Su Jiuwei bowed his head and sent Xia Xin away.
