The imperial capital of the Xia Kingdom.

The feast is coming.

In the Empress Dowager's palace, she held the account book in her hand, her face was a little gloomy, and she said angrily: "Who is helping Xia Xin's girl? Isn't she conniving at giving her such a large sum of money?

"Queen Mother, I have already asked people to investigate this matter, and it is strange to say, whether it is the president's side or the emperor's side, there is no sign of a large amount of money given to the little princess, and even the little imperial uncle who loves her the most has never set foot in the North Cold Pass. Hong Sheng also felt puzzled.

"Grandma Huang, don't be angry, maybe the little sister has nobles to help, this is also her ability, I heard that the refining arsenal needs a batch of Northern Cold Iron, but it makes them sad, it is better to let the little sister do this thing, you must know that in the treasury, the stock of Northern Cold Iron is very small, and no one can help." Xia Yuan was on the side, beating the Queen Mother's back, smiling.

"That's a good idea, I'll mention it to your aunt at the family dinner. When the Queen Mother heard this, she bowed slightly, how could she not know the twists and turns in Xia Yuan's heart, but she didn't believe that the Chamber of Commerce was in such a situation now, and no one secretly helped Xia Xin: "I want to see who can help her." ”

Xia Yuan didn't say anything.

Northern Cold Iron, in the depths of the barbarian mountains outside the Guan, is the main material of the barbarian elite magic weapons, which is extremely precious, and it is impossible for a large amount to flow out.

Xia Yuan's move was obviously to bring Xia Xin to a dead end, and it could be regarded as revenge, and the wings that had been cultivated in the Beihanguan Chamber of Commerce for many years were almost uprooted, making him lose a lot.

The days of the New Year are fleeting.

Xia Xin, who spent the New Year in Beihanguan, spent the New Year with his henchmen.

I have to say that after all the obstacles were removed, the chamber of commerce was running much smoother, and business was better than usual.

During the Chinese New Year, the Chamber of Commerce is also prosperous.

These days, although Xia Xin is busy, he is also fulfilling, at least the account books handed in will definitely be able to satisfy his aunt, and the Queen Mother will have nothing to say.

It's just that she always thinks of Shang Yin from time to time, she stands by the window, looks at the direction of Tianzheng Taoist Temple, and mutters: "Why don't you know to come and see me for the New Year?

"But why did he come to see me?" she muttered to herself, feeling ashamed and annoyed when she thought about it: "Xia Xin, Xia Xin, what are you thinking, there are beauties by your side, where would you think of you!"

She returned to the main seat of the main hall, conflicted.

"You little girl, what are you thinking?" When Xia Xin was melancholy, a man, dressed in white and carrying three swords, stepped over.

"Uncle, why are you here?" Xia Xin saw the person who came and hurriedly saluted.

This person's name is Xia Xuan, he is the youngest imperial uncle in the Xia Kingdom, but he has no intention of imperial power, he has cultivated swords all his life, and his combat power is transcendent, he smiled gently: "I happened to be at the family banquet this year, and the eldest sister said that you performed very well this year, just in the first year, you have made a lot of achievements, and even your father and emperor have praised you." ”

"Really?" Xia Xin was happy in her heart, Shang Yin had helped her a lot this time.

"Really, but whoever made you sad, tell the uncle, see that I don't kill him. Xia Xuan was annoyed when he saw Xia Xin taking care of himself alone, obviously there was something.

"What's not there, it's just that there are too many bad debts left by the people in front of me, and I can't think of a way for a while, and there are still a lot of holes. Xia Xin sighed.

"These things, take your time, raise soldiers for a thousand days, use soldiers for a while, and now the Imperial Capital Refining Arsenal wants to purchase a batch of Northern Cold Iron, and let you be responsible for the procurement here, 800,000 catties, hand it over within half a year, you have to pay more attention to this matter." Xia Xuan smiled casually.

"What? Aren't they embarrassing me? The Beihan Iron Mine has always been in the hinterland of barbarians, and it is not easy to get it? With such a large amount of 800,000 catties, it is even more impossible. Xia Xin's face was a little ugly, knowing that this must have been deliberately embarrassed.

"It's not a family banquet, your grandmother said that she wants you to marry Da Liao to consolidate the territory of the Xia Kingdom, and the old thing is brought up again, the eldest sister took out your account book for this year, saying that you are young and can take on a big responsibility, this is not your grandmother also has to give the eldest sister a little face, just let you be responsible for buying the Northern Cold Iron, if you can complete it, even if it will not let her completely dispel the idea of marriage, but at least in the short term. Xia Xuan sighed lightly, this is the case in the royal family, all interests come first, and most of the princesses who have no strength and ability in the past generations are used to marry, or to consolidate, or to repair the relationship with neighboring countries.

"I'll do my best. Xia Xin knows that after the Chinese New Year, he will be seventeen years old, and he will be eighteen years old, and there is still a year to go, if he can't complete this matter, he is afraid that he will have to go to intermarry with Da Liao, and no one can stop him.

At this moment, Shang Yin's appearance appeared in her heart, and she felt that only he could help her.

"If you need Uncle to help you, just ask. Xia Xuan knew that this was a great test for Xia Xin, but there was no other way than to face it.

"I'm going to see someone. Xia Xin originally wanted to go in a few days, but now that this incident has happened, she doesn't want to wait any longer, and as soon as possible, she took the guards in the direction of Tianzheng Taoist Temple.

Inside the Taoist temple.

On Shang Yin's Qi Gathering Jade, a rune of "Ten Thousand Wood Roots" was condensed, and the power of the wood line between heaven and earth converged towards him all the time, full of vitality.

These days, he cultivates wholeheartedly, and he consumes a body-strengthening pill every day.

Now the rune of "Ten Thousand Wood Roots" on his chest has taken on bright red.

Standing in the courtyard, he was now able to absorb moisture from the air and replenish his body's needs, even if he did not pour water on himself.

"Your cultivation speed is fast. Su Jiuwei could feel that Shang Yin's physical body was much stronger than a few days ago, and now ordinary sharp weapons could not pierce his body.

"Of course, I'm a little genius in cultivation. Shang Yin laughed, full of pride.

Knock knock.

Then.

There was a knock at the door.

Shang Yin personally opened the door, Xia Xin stood at the door, and hundreds of guards were under the steps.

It can be seen that her face is not very good-looking, Xia Xin forced a smile and said, "Little Immortal Master, you said that I would come to you." ”

"Give me the space ring on your body, eight hundred zhang in size, if it is empty, you wait here. Shang Yin felt that her expression was wrong, but there was one more important thing at the moment.

Xia Xin didn't think much about it, and gave it directly, and after Shang Yin took it, he returned to his room.

He bought three hundred thousand potatoes from the Heavenly Merchant World, and each spatial ring contained 30,000 coins, consuming 240,000 good deeds.

Now he has less than 610,000 charity coins left.

He came to the gate, handed these space rings to Xia Xin, and said: "Among these eight space rings, there are 240,000 March potatoes in them, which can be used for planting. Shang Yin said solemnly.

"March potatoes?" Xia Xin was a little puzzled, because he had never heard of it: "Can a great drought also be guaranteed?

"Rest assured, this thing can thrive in the sand without much water, and it is a strange species that my grandfather found when he was traveling. ”

"For cultivators, food is useless, but for ordinary people, it can strengthen the body. Shang Yin swore an oath.

"It turned out that the old immortal master found it, and it seems that he really had good intentions in order to avoid conflict with General Gao. Xia Xin looked at the March potato in the space ring and felt that Shang Yin's words would definitely not be fake.

"When the time comes, you will let the people in charge of planting in Beihan Guanzhong who are good at planting, let them not water more and wait for the snow to clear before planting. Shang Yin commanded.

"Understood. Xia Xin looked at Shang Yin, his eyes flickered, and he stopped talking.

"Princess, do you have anything on your mind?" Shang Yin also felt that she was a little strange.
