Liu Ruoqing listened to Guan Zhong's words and came to Qi Yan.

Qi Yan was feeding her kitten at this time, but her eyes were a little cold, and Qi Tang's death deeply stabbed Qi Yan.

In Qi Yan's heart, Qi Xiaobai and Qi Jie are her only relatives, under her operation, these two people who have become enemies have become the closest people, and now Qi Jie is dead, and five months have passed, but she can't get rid of the pain of losing her relatives in a short time.

At this time, a servant walked into her palace: "Grand Duke, Liu Ruoqing asks to see her mother!" ”

Although Qi Yan is a woman, she is actually the woman with the highest status today, and she was knighted as a duke without being canonized as the queen.

Originally, Qi Xiaobai wanted to give her a piece of land, so that she could enjoy the glory and wealth in her fiefdom, and it was also a gift to her nephew, after all, after Qi Yan left, it should be his nephew who inherited the title.

But Qi Yan refused the request of the fiefdom, she just wanted to return to her former mansion, where to enjoy her life, Qi Xiaobai agreed to Qi Yan's small request, so that Qi Yan has been living in the Qi Palace, the small palace where she once lived.

Although she refused the request for a fief, Qi Xiaobai still crowned her with the title and canonized him as the Duke of Taishan.

Of course, Qi Xiaobai originally wanted to crown her as the Duke of Qingzhou, after all, that place is very rich, and with the sea at her back, life must be good, but after rejecting Qi Xiaobai's request, Qi Xiaobai canonized her as the Duke of Taishan.

Mount Tai is next to Yingqiu, is the most important military fortress of Yingqiu, and its status is second only to the Yingqiu of Qi, so this is the second largest knighthood in Qi.

And this place is a barrier for the Qi State, and even the importance goes beyond Yingqiu, he has resisted several disasters for the Qi State to destroy the country.

In the long history of the Qi Kingdom, there are only five people who have been named Taishan Jue, and these five people are not hereditary titles, and the most important thing is that they are all posthumously titled, not alive and honored.

And Qi Yan is the only person who has been awarded the title of Taishan alive, and it can also be seen from here that the status of the title of Taishan.

The people who can be knighted as the Duke of Taishan, those are all high-level generals who defended against foreign enemies and died in Taishan, in order to show their glory and results, so they were posthumously awarded the title of Taishan Jue.

But if you want to enjoy Taishan Jue alive, in the history of Qi Kingdom, there is no one so far, after all, this place is too important, to let you live and enjoy Taishan Jue, if you betray Qi Kingdom, then what should you do?

In order to guard against this, Qi has never named a living person as Taishan Jue, but Qi Yan opened this precedent, which is mainly because Qi Xiaobai wants to highlight Qi Yan's status, and also to show the importance of Qi Yan's family affection.

After Qi Yan heard the servant's words, she was stunned, under normal circumstances, she was one of those women who rarely saw Qi Xiaobai, at the beginning, she was common, after all, this is a family, and later after the battle between the harem princes broke out, Qi Yan persuaded them many times to give up the fight, coexist peacefully, and recommend the most talented children to inherit the crown prince of Qi.

But the people who fought the hardest didn't listen to her at all, everyone wanted to seize the heir to the supreme throne of the Qi country, of course, there were also people who didn't want to fight, these people tried their best to get out of this battle, but they got very close to Qi Yan.

And Liu Ruoqing is obviously the person who fights the most, after Qi Yan heard the servant's words, she frowned and said, "She came to see me, what is the so-called matter?" ”

Qi Yan persuaded Liu Ruoqing several times not to participate too much in Qi Guo's political affairs, but she was criticized by Liu Ruoqing, but Qi Yan didn't hold a grudge against Liu Ruoqing, she just sighed, she felt that such a good woman had too much power, and she was no longer the girl she was at the beginning.

But thinking about what power is, she Qi Yan and felt that Liu Ruoqing became like this, which is also a reasonable sign, how many people lose themselves in power and become people who are not ghosts or ghosts, and Liu Ruoqing is alone, and it is also very normal to fall into it.

At the beginning, her three brothers were not in the struggle for power, their eyes were red, and they had no family affection, if she wasn't there, Qi Jie and Qi Xiaobai would also fight for life and death.

"I don't know, does the Grand Duke see it or not?" The servant on the side looked at Qi Yan and asked.

Qi Yan pondered for a while, and then said, "Let her in!" Originally, Qi Yan didn't want to see her, but when Liu Ruoqing came to her, there must be something, so she still met Liu Ruoqing.

Liu Ruoqing came to Qi Yan with a gift: "Taishan Gong, be well!" ”

Qi Yan smiled and shook her head: "You are Qi Xiaobai's woman, that is, my younger brother and sister, why are you so restrained?" Please take a seat! ”

She and Qi Xiaobai are both commensurate with sisters and brothers, and her woman should actually want to be called so, but Liu Ruoqing often calls her the Grand Duke, without the slightest sense of family affection, which makes Qi Yan a little disliked.

Liu Ruoqing put the box in his hand on the table, then sat down and said, "This is some local specialties brought from Dongyi Island by the people below, called salmon!" ”

"Sister can taste it, the taste is very delicious, although it is fish, but there is no trace of fishy smell!" Liu Ruoqing looked at Qi Yan and said.

Qi Yan nodded, what is salmon, she has also heard of it, although this thing is an ordinary thing on Dongyi Island, but under the operation of merchants, the price has increased and it has become a food for rich people.

A lot of things have no value in themselves, but in the hands of businessmen, these things tend to have a lot of bubble prices.

And this salmon is such a thing, itself is the food of ordinary people on Dongyi Island, and the price of these things is only a few pennies, but under the operation of the merchants of Qi State, after being transported to Qi State, especially after arriving at this camp hill, the price has increased a thousand times, a fish fillet is five taels of silver, and generally a salmon dish has about twenty fish fillets, and the price reaches one hundred taels of silver.

In Qi Yan's eyes, although businessmen can create money and economy, the money and economy created are all bubble economies, without a trace of labor money and without a trace of the real economy.

However, Qi Xiaobai has been improving the status of businessmen, of course, Qi Xiaobai does this, although the economy is a bubble economy, but it can bring foreign products to Qi State, in fact, these businessmen can indeed bring a lot of money to Qi Xiaobai.

After all, silver is the world's circulating thing, if he only relies on his own business in Kyushu, he can't get much silver, he must use merchants, he also has to do business, and those overseas merchants and overseas capitals do business, to bring a lot of silver to the Qi country.

The Qi State is not a closed country, and he must have a large amount of silver.
