March 22, Jidu Palace, East Palace.

In the early morning, the spring breeze blows through the wind chimes hanging under the eaves of the East Palace, making a pleasant sound of "tinkling".

A waiter walked into the palace where Ji Xi's mother, Ji Huan, lived. said softly to Ji Huan, who was dressing up: "Princess, our people came back from Liaodi to report. The caravan we sent to Liaodi had successfully entered Xiangping City a few days ago. ”

Like Ji Kang's mother, Ji Zhao, who still called Ji Huan's "princess" at this time, must have come from Qin with Ji Huan's family. Of course, he is also a confidant of Ji Huan's cronies.

Ji Huan's hands shook when he heard this. After a while, he finally calmed down.

After pondering for a moment, Ji Huan said to the attendant, "The families of these few people have all been sent to the Qin State, right?" ”

The attendant hurriedly replied, "Princess, the families of these people have been sent to the Qin State according to your orders. ”

Ji Huan nodded, smiled coldly, and said to the waiter: "I didn't expect this Gongzi Kang to do a lot of business after arriving in Liaodi. Now there are rumors in the entire Ji Capital that Gongzi Kang is a star in the sky. ”

Speaking of this, his tone became more and more angry, and Ji Huan continued: "This son born to Ji Zhao, can he be worthy of the name of the stars in the sky? And the prince actually went to Liaodi to visit him in person for this reason, despite my opposition. ”

Then, he said to this attendant with "hatred": "The prince doesn't care about my Qin State at all, and he has helped him for so many years; Not to mention the relationship between us as husband and wife. Since he is ruthless first, for the sake of my son's future, he can't blame me for being ruthless. The throne of this Yan Kingdom can only be succeeded by Wu'er, and no one wants to succeed to this throne. ”

After a pause, he instructed the attendant: "But this matter still has to be extremely cautious, especially not to expose us, you must consider all aspects well, and you must not be careless." ”

The waiter nodded and said to Ji Huan's family, "Princess, please rest assured." I've already made all the arrangements, even the attendant who reported the news next to the prince will also die violently. ”

Ji Huan sighed and said to the attendant: "Arrange this attendant's family as well, but don't let his family know that we did it." ”

"No." The attendant bowed his head in response.

According to the daily routine, in the past two days, Ji Kang will accompany his father and eldest brother Ji Xi to inspect several trade markets outside Xiangping City. After breakfast, everyone took a van car and came to the grain trade market in the west of Xiangping City.

At present, food is still controlled as a strategic material for each country. The grain of Liaodi is also the main controlled material. But that doesn't mean that food can't be traded.

Ji Kang had already used grain as a strategic tool to control the surrounding countries such as Donghu, Xiongnu, Ji and the Three Kingdoms, as well as other counties and counties in Yan State.

Officials, tribes, families, and merchants from other places who have good relations with Liaodi can obtain a certain amount of grain from Liaodi through the quota system.

Another purpose of this is that through the trade of grain, a large number of displaced people from surrounding countries can be attracted and exchanged, so as to enrich the number of people in Liaodi.

Most of the grain markets in the west of the city are owned by merchants in the grain associations under the Ministry of Commerce. There are also a small number of shops, which are grain merchants from other places.

Grain merchants from other places can transport grain from other places. Those who come to the grain trading market in Xiangping to conduct transactions must abide by the relevant management regulations of Liaodi.

It is no exaggeration to say that the current Xiangping City is no exaggeration to say that due to the existence of the Prince's Mansion, it has been in the position of the central city among the cities in the northeast region.

Due to the good geographical location and environment, as well as the supporting various management systems, the supply of other materials is even more important. The grain trading market in Xiangping City is currently the largest grain trading market in Yan and neighboring countries.

Ji Kang's father, after coming to the grain market. Just look at the carts pulled by cattle and horses, carrying cartloads of grain to and fro in the market, and in front of every shop and shop is lined up with merchants and people waiting to trade.

He said to the two sons who were beside him with emotion: "Originally, grain and salt were taken by all the countries of the Central Plains as the neck of the Kawu Yan Kingdom. But in the past few years, with the output and supply of grain in Liaodi, our Yan country has finally gotten rid of the previous predicament, which is of great significance to my Yan country! ”

Seeing that the eldest son Ji Xi nodded in approval, he smiled with satisfaction and said to the younger son Ji Kang: "Kang'er, just by virtue of this, you have done a good job since you came to Liaodi." Looking at this lively and busy trading scene, I agree with what you said - with the development of Liaodi, my Yan Kingdom will no longer have to worry about food in the future. ”

After inspecting the grain market, Ji Kang's father was very satisfied. Then the father and son went to the daily life trade market in the south of Xiangping City.

Since a variety of goods such as cloth, salt, porcelain, and paper are traded in this market. This daily life trade market appears to be more prosperous, and the flow of people in it is more dense.

I saw with my own eyes that Liaodi was so prosperous and the materials were so abundant. Ji Kang's father felt even more convinced of the conversation with his youngest son last night.

At noon, the father and son went to a restaurant in this market for dinner. Due to the regulations of Liaodi, officials are not allowed to disturb the people when traveling, so this restaurant has not been emptied. However, due to the arrival of Ji Kang's father and Ji Kang, the government still strengthened control.

Walking into this restaurant, behind Ji Kang's father, the attendant who was seen by Wu Yangjing last night saw the man dressed as a businessman he saw last night, eating at a table on the first floor with three other people.

Inadvertently, Ji Kang, who was walking up to the second floor with his father and eldest brother Ji Xi and others, nodded to the front.

The lean man dressed as a merchant glanced at the squire. Then he turned his head and nodded to the other three people at the table.

The first floor of this restaurant is open to the public as usual; The second floor was specially emptied to entertain Ji Kang's father and others. And Ji Kang didn't know at this time that danger had come to his side.

Wu Yangjing, the commander of the palace who came with the prince from Jidu, and Ji Mao, the old manager, led many guards to inspect from the second floor to the first floor, and the inspection was not detailed.

Wu Yangjing saw that the first floor was still open to the public, and many people came in to eat. His brows furrowed, and he said to Ji Mao, the old manager beside him: "Manager Ji, why don't you empty the first floor?" That's a lot more dangerous! It's not good for security maintenance! ”

The old manager Ji Mao shook his head, sighed, and said to Wu Yangjing: "General Wu, this is the rule of our family after the prince and marquis come to Liaodi, and it is said that no official should disturb the people when he travels. Usually when he comes out, even the second floor is not allowed to be emptied. ”

"This time, due to the arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it is already rare to be able to allow the second floor to be emptied. I also advised him many times, but he did not listen. So that's all we can do, let's work harder! ”

Wu Yangjing nodded, and inspected the people sitting on the first floor one by one with his eyes, and found no accidents. But the two of them were still not at ease, and ordered the guards to strengthen their vigilance.

Naturally, the many guards did not dare to slack off, sitting on the first floor, staring at the people dining on the first floor.
