Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 301 Returning to Beijing

"Not really. This is just a semi-finished product. It's not as powerful as the one Xu Jinyu took out, and it's easy to damage!"

Emperor Xuan held the heavy composite bow in his hand, ambition flashing in his eyes.

With this thing, he had the confidence to take a trip to the grassland, not to mention facing the grain merchants and the people behind them.

These people took advantage of Xu Jinyu's decision to close the door to visitors, and he couldn't receive the news in the first place, so they dared to make such a fuss. Unfortunately, Xu Jinyu didn't really close the door to visitors, and this matter was once again brought into his hands through Xu Jinyu.

Now that the action has been taken, don't blame him as the emperor for being rude.

Emperor Xuan stroked the composite bow and said softly, "Since some people have started to tinker with it, let me use these people to test out my new good thing."

Zi Shuyan looked at the compound bow with bright eyes: "Father, what do you want to do? Just tell me directly."

Emperor Xuan carefully put the composite bow aside, and then said to Zi Shuyan: "How is the formation of the internal guard going? Do you have the confidence to find out who is behind the attack on the grain merchant this time?"

"Yes! In a year, it will be enough for the inner guards to spread all over Daqian. The inner guards now are comparable to the Jinyiwei mentioned by Lord Xu."

"Okay! Then find out as soon as possible and deal with these people, so that the little bastard Xu Jinyu won't come back and call me a tyrant."

"Yes!"

Zi Shuyan retreated with big strides.

Things are also going exceptionally smoothly here in Blueprint County.

Xu Jinyu just took out a few pieces of tempered glass as big as an entire wall and exchanged them for a huge amount of food.

For the people of Daqian, a whole wall of colored glaze is absolutely unique and precious, and its status is comparable to rare treasures.

With food in hand, the next thing is simple. People just want to have enough food and clothing.

Ren Changfeng directly took over the county affairs of Lantu County, selling grain at a fair price and finding some work for those who had spent all their money.

With food to eat and money to earn, Blueprint County once again became peaceful.

This is the common people. As long as they can survive, they will not resist.

They have always been so docile.

As Ren Changfeng's subordinates, Xu Jinyu and Princess Wuyang suffered the consequences.

They couldn't use their own names this time, so they used the names of Ren Changfeng's subordinates. Unfortunately, Ren Changfeng's real subordinates had been imprisoned in the palace for a year.

But no one has told them why they were imprisoned. The two of them are terrified every day, wondering every day if they have done something wrong.

The letters of apology almost filled up a cart, and even included the incident of peeping at a widow bathing when they were a child, but no one paid any attention to them.

If the guards hadn't been watching them, they would have hanged themselves and given themselves a quick death.

The pieces of tempered glass that Xu Jinyu got were big enough to make the grain merchants who arrived late feel very regretful. If they had come a few days earlier, wouldn’t they have been able to exchange them for the largest colored glass?

There is no such large, clean and transparent colored glass in the imperial palace now. It is better than the emperor’s things and is enough to attract these grain merchants to come in droves.

Unfortunately, Xu Jinyu took out these things only to exchange for food, and he didn't plan to take out more things.

This made the grain merchants very anxious. They did not dare to disturb Ren Changfeng, but Ren Changfeng's two subordinates still dared to disturb him.

During this period, whenever Xu Jinyu and Princess Wuyang dared to walk out of the door, grain merchants would immediately follow them and offer them all kinds of gifts, just asking for a glazed wall.

As a result, both of them were afraid to go out and could only sit in the house in a daze.

"My lords, today's invitations are on the table." The guards handed in a thick stack of invitations with drooping eyebrows.

Princess Wuyang sat on a chair, supporting her chin and waving her hand boredly, asking the guards to throw the invitations into the corner. There was a box in the corner, which contained the invitations received during this period. There was already a box full of them.

Princess Wuyang glanced at the obviously listless guards and asked curiously, "What happened in Blueprint County that made you so listless?"

Upon hearing this, the Imperial Guard smiled and said to Princess Wuyang, "Your Highness, this is a good thing. These days, whenever the Imperial Guard brothers go out, they are taken away by the grain merchants who come to invite them. They either invite them to a banquet or give them gifts. Take a look at this."

"what?"

"Nanzhu!" the guard said mysteriously.

"A dozen southern pearls, all given by the grain merchant, just to establish a relationship with me so that I can notify him when the Glazed Wall is available again."

Princess Wuyang understood: "That is to say, you look tired because you have been busy attending banquets these days."

The guard smiled and said, "It's not that we are weak-willed, it's just that these people have given us too much. Silk, jewelry, gold and silver... they are willing to give away any good things. In just one month, my daughter's dowry has been almost saved up, and I have started saving for my son's betrothal gift."

"In fact, everyone drank so much that they almost vomited."

Xu Jinyu also came over: "Then you didn't leak anything!"

"Absolutely not!"

The guards slapped their chests.

"Our guards are very good at Tai Chi, don't worry, we will just tell them that they are too late and there is no glazed wall here for the time being, so they will have to wait until later if they want it."

"What about the food we brought?" Xu Jinyu asked quickly.

This is the point. There is no shortage of food in Daqian this year. The rise in food prices is purely caused by these grain merchants and the people behind them.

Because of the appearance of the glazed wall, there are many grain merchants outside Blueprint County with large amounts of grain.

The smile on the guard's face became even more intense when he said this: "After knowing that there is no glazed wall here, the grain was sold at a low price. Blueprint County can't eat it, so they sell it to the neighboring county. After all, if they take the grain back, they will lose more."

"At least the grain prices in the counties near Lantu County have been suppressed. Plus, there are many jobs in Lantu County, so the people here have no problem making a living."

"Lord Xu and Lord Wei are indeed the youngest officials in Daqian. They are really smart..."

Next is the time to flatter.

Xu Jinyu blushed...

[Oh, what a compliment! What a compliment! This is not my idea.]

As the capital of Daqian, the capital has always been prosperous, especially now that it is only a month away from the Chinese New Year. People are busy, waiting for a good year.

Xu Jinyu stood under the city wall of the capital, looking at the familiar scene, and couldn't help but sigh: "I came back with the prince last year."

Speaking of this, Xu Jinyu suddenly thought of Princess Huanzhu.

There has been no news about Princess Huanzhu since she entered the palace, and no one knows what happened to her.

"Wuyang, where is Princess Huanzhu?"

"Princess Huanzhu?" Princess Wuyang didn't understand.

"That princess your father just recognized last year. She can't be gone!"

Wu Yang was stunned for a moment before he remembered who Princess Huan Zhu was talking about. After remembering it, he rolled his eyes at Xu Jinyu: "What are you thinking about? The princess was recovering from her injuries. She ran from her hometown to the capital and got herself injured."

"Even her husband was injured and almost died. They are both recovering from their injuries now. Father feels very sorry for this princess and has chosen a title for her: Princess Huyang."

"Oh~~" Xu Jinyu felt relieved.
