Chapter 370: Businessmen gather

In front of the gate of Prince Qi's mansion, merchants gathered together to wait for King Qi to return from Shanhaiguan. Eight?? One Chinese Network = ≤≤≤
The news of the Qingzhou army's breach of Shanhaiguan had been made public in the newspapers a few days ago. Upon learning of this news, the businessmen who had contributed to the Northern Expedition were excited to sleep all night.
At the beginning, they had no hope that Xiao Ming would be able to drive away the barbarians from Youzhou. The reason why they invested money was purely to flatter Xiao Ming and win Xiao Ming's favor, but they did not expect that it was only three months later, Shanhaiguan. It was really regained by Xiao Ming, and the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun once became Xiao Ming's pocket.
Only then did they remember their support for the Northern Expedition, and rushed to the gate of the Qi Palace one by one, eagerly looking forward to the original support materials.
It can be said that in order to wait for Xiao Ming to come back, they will wait here almost every day, because what Xiao Ming promised at the beginning was that they would give them three times the return. In other words, if they had invested one hundred thousand taels, they would now get three. One hundred thousand taels worth of land.
When they think of the vast grasslands outside of Cangzhou, they can't calm down immediately. After all, this is an excellent horse farm. If you take this land to raise horses, and then sell the horses to the kings of Dayu, this is definitely a profitable business. .
"Your Highness, Your Highness is back."
The appearance of Xiao Ming was quickly felt by the businessmen. When a businessman yelled these words, a group of businessmen immediately surrounded Xiao Ming, all of them with flattering smiles, almost holding Xiao. Ming's thighs are on hold.
Aster is also in front of the palace gate.
These businessmen would wait in front of the palace gate on time every day. It was a headache. Now that Xiao Ming came back, she was also relieved.
However, for her, the most important task is to take care of Xiao Ming’s daily life and to care about Xiao Ming’s health. So she pinched her waist and said to a group of businessmen: "Everyone, everybody, your Highness travels a long distance. It's exhausting, it's better to talk about it tomorrow."
Xiao Ming nodded when he heard the words. He was indeed a little tired and didn't want to deal with these things immediately. After all, she had to think about how to return the merchants' profits. This matter must be discussed with Pang Yukun and let him decide.
So he took the opportunity to hand over and said: "Everyone, this king knows what you are here for, what the king promised you will not change at the beginning, so please don't worry, after two days, this king will call you to the chamber of commerce to discuss this matter. "
Cao Zhengyang is also in the crowd. He invested the most money this time, and of course he is also the most proud now.
He said: "His Royal Highness has misunderstood. We did not come here to make His Highness fulfill our promises immediately, but we are exhausted during the battle. I will send some tonics to support His Highness."
While talking, Cao Zhengyang signaled his servants, and the six servants immediately brought six red sandalwood boxes to Xiao Ming. The box opened, and inside were ginseng, Xuelan, He Wu and other precious medicinal materials.
Seeing that Cao Zhengyang was so diligent and not lagging behind, other businessmen showed their gifts to Xiao Ming and begged Xiao Ming to accept them.
These gifts were varied and varied, including exquisite porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and fur capes. There were so many different kinds of gifts, which made Xiao Ming's eyes beautiful.
At this time, Zixuan showed a smile. She liked these merchants best to give gifts to the palace, and with Xiao Ming's nature, it was impossible not to accept these gifts.
Sure enough, Xiao Ming bowed his hands to these businessmen and greeted her to send these gifts into the palace.
"His Royal Highness, since the gift has been delivered to us, we will not disturb His Highness to rest, so I will go back." Since arriving in Qingzhou, Cao Zhengyang has been very diligent and sensible.
Xiao Ming nodded, his expression relaxed.
These gifts are not received in vain. Anyway, I want to distribute profits to them. These rights should be rebates.
He said to Cao Zhengyang: "In that case, see you another day, see you another day, please come back."
Although he was a little wary of Cao's involvement in Qingzhou's financial industry, he had to say that Cao Zhengyang was very sophisticated and well-measured, but he was very comfortable in supporting him in everything.
However, Xiao Ming is from modern times after all. He knows that what capital is best at is sugar-coated cannonballs. He is happy and happy, but he will still tighten his nerves.
After accepting the gift, the merchants gradually dispersed.
Xiao Ming sighed lightly, dismounted and walked towards the palace.
With an excited expression on his face, Zixuan directed his servants to move the gifts back to the palace, his face flushed.
Seeing this, Xiao Ming shook his head. This aster has really become a small money fan.
However, despite the excitement of receiving the gift, Aster still did not forget his duty to take care of Xiao Ming.
After Xiao Ming entered the palace, she followed Xiao Ming and asked for warmth, and asked the dining room to prepare food for Xiao Ming.
When he arrived at the bedroom, Zixuan removed the breastplate that Xiao Ming was wearing. At this time, he said: "His Royal Highness, Niang Niang Shao brought a message saying that Shi Lang has come out of Qingzhou, and Niang Niang also said that the servants will be married to His Royal Highness. Prepare."
"Well, this king estimated that the imperial decree should also arrive. By the way, the mother concubine didn't talk about the current situation in the court?"
Xiao Ming asked as he changed into casual clothes with Aster.
"The empress didn't say much, just said that the emperor Long Yan was happy, and the courtiers also appreciated it. This time, it will definitely be a great reward for her highness." Zi Yu said with a smile.
This time, Xiao Ming made a lifetime contribution and also captured Shanhaiguan, which was lost more than ten years ago. From Aster's point of view, this contribution is enough to make other princes in the DPRK ashamed.
Xiao Ming nodded. At this time, the more Chaozhong remained silent, the more disturbed he was.
After all, it is always calm before the storm.
This time, unlike the past, the Battle of Cangzhou may only save the barbarians from invading Qidi and Weidi from the south, but this time he completely changed the situation in the country of Da Yu~EbookFREE.me~The barbarians in the sixteen states of Yanyun After exiting the customs, as long as Shanhaiguan is not lost, it will be difficult for the barbarians to sneeze like before, and the country will have to shake three times.
Without the threat on the neck of the knife holder, it is hard to say what changes will happen to the court.
But he didn't worry too much. Shanhaiguan pinched the throat of the barbarian in his hand, and also pinched the throat of Da Yuguo.
He knows the truth about flying birds, good bows hiding, cunning rabbits dead, and fools.
Xiao Wenxuan had to count on him to defend this world's hero, so after going to Chang'an this time, his status would rise straight up, and the bead on his head could become more.
The only problem now is his brothers who have no good intentions, because at this time he is like a dark horse who has entered the political center of Chang'an.
But he is not very worried, for him, all conspiracies and tricks will be shattered in gunfire!
