Activate the Emperor System and summon Dian Wei at the beginning of the game

"My Lord, the Jinyi Guards are here to report. Your Majesty, General Chen Qingzhi and General Ran Min will lead the white-robed army and the beggar army to go south. They will arrive the day after tomorrow!"

"oh?"

After Ning Fan heard Guo Jia's words, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Why did my father suddenly send General Chen Ran south? Could it be that my father, the Southern Barbarians, sent troops to attack me?"

"I don't know!"

"We came just in time. Although the Nanyong King's army under Zaixing is not weak in combat strength, it is far from comparable to the white-robed army and the beggar army."

"Now, with the two of them going south, the Southern Barbarians won't be in danger!"

Ning Fan's face flashed with light, and he looked at Guo Jiaqi and said, "Fengxiao, how many migrant workers have we recruited in Huainan now?"

"Back to my lord, there are more than 100,000 civilians on the north and south vertical roads alone, and there are also 50,000 young men in the southern fortress."

"Um!"

Ning Fan nodded and said thoughtfully: "Now that the autumn harvest has just passed, most people are staying at home and the recruitment continues. All civilians who participate in the recruitment will not only be paid wages, but also give them potatoes and sweet potatoes."

"Accelerate the progress. I can't wait three years anymore. Within one year, at all costs, the three longitudinal roads in the north and south must be opened to traffic."

"this……"

A wry smile appeared on Guo Jia's face, and he said helplessly: "My lord, the land of my three counties is more than 400 miles deep from north to south. To pave the road with bluestone slabs, we must first lay a solid foundation and then go to the mountains to quarry stone."

“The mining of mountain rocks, the polishing and transportation of bluestone slabs are all extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive.”

"It is as difficult as climbing to the sky to build three vertical roads in one year!"

Hearing Guo Jia's long sigh, Ning Fan paused, silently clicked on the system and opened the system mall.

"The system recommends a draft horse with strong pulling power!"

"Master, we have successfully selected the Shire, Percheron, and Clydesdale horses with the strongest pulling power!"

"How much reputation is worth a horse?"

"A Sharma horse is worth 500 reputation points, and the rest are worth 300 points each."

"Exchange me for a hundred shire horses!"

As soon as Ning Fan finished speaking, he only heard the system prompt sound: "Congratulations to the master, the exchange is successful, one hundred shire horses will be delivered to Prince Yong's Mansion by merchants from the Western Regions within one day, please pay attention to check!"

[Shire Horse]: A world-famous draft horse and one of the largest horse breeds in the world.

It was an important tool in early British agriculture, industry, transportation, and transportation. This kind of horse could pull up to 5 tons of weight.

"sharp!"

After Ning Fan saw the introduction of the Sharma horse, he sighed inwardly. The pulling force of five tons can be said to be equivalent to dozens of people. If the Shire horse breed can be cultivated, in this era, whether it is used for agriculture or The function of military equipment is equivalent to that of a troop carrier!

"Fengxiao, I have ordered someone to buy a batch of draft horses. Their breeds are rare, but their pulling power is amazing. Remember to send someone to pick them up. Fifty of them will be sent to the construction site, and the rest will be sent to the racecourse. Send someone to breed them. ”

"promise!"

As soon as Guo Jia left, Shen Wansan asked to see him outside the door. After receiving the greeting, his face showed a hint of uncontrollable joy.

"Your Highness, more than a hundred shops of Hu's Salt Shop in Jiangnan are closed."

"As soon as our Daming Salt Shop opened, his Hu's shop was in decline. No matter the quality, taste or price of the salt, it was completely incomparable to ours."

"Tomorrow, the food store will open."

"Um!"

When Ning Fan heard this, there was also a hint of joy in his expression. Having reached this point, it can be said that the overall situation has been decided. To Dayu, the Hu family today is no different than a tiger with its teeth pulled out.

The most important thing is that the Daming Salt Store has now expanded to the whole country. From now on, even the income from the salt store is enough for him to work as he pleases in Huainan.

"Wan San, although the price of fine salt is extremely low, it is still a luxury product for ordinary people."

"Today, our audience is composed of aristocratic families, dignitaries and wandering businessmen from all over the world."

"If the entire market is replaced by fine salt, those poor families will not be able to buy coarse salt or even salt blocks. Therefore, starting from tomorrow, coarse salt will be sold in the salt shop at a price that can protect the capital!"

"yes!"

Shen Wansan's face showed a flash of brilliance, and this move was simply a decisive blow to the Hu family.

You know, the fine salt now sold by Daming Salt Store is slightly cheaper than the coarse salt sold by the Hu family before. However, since its opening, it has only sold fine salt, which directly occupied the Hu family's market share.

However, with the popularity of Ming salt shops, it is more difficult for people who cannot even afford salt to buy coarse salt and low-quality salt on the market.

Now, His Highness has directly expanded the audience of Daming Salt Shop to all the people of Dayu.

Even people who couldn't afford salt before can still eat coarse salt.

"If this is the case, within three months, there will no longer be a place for Hu's salt shop in our territory of Dayu."

"Haha!" Ning Fan smiled undeniably and said meaningfully: "But a dog will jump over the wall when it is anxious. It cuts off people's wealth, just like killing their parents!"

"Your Highness, do you mean that the Hu family will use some underhanded means?"

"After all, it is a century-old family that has been in the northern part of the Great Wall before the founding of the Yu Dynasty. His ancestors were horse bandits. Now that we have cut off his lifeline, is it possible that he can still talk to you calmly?"

"During this period, let brothers Niu Heng and Niu Ha protect you personally."

"Um!"

Hearing Ning Fan's reminder, Shen Wansan nodded heavily, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

Since the last incident in Yihongyuan, Lin Yong had been following him for a few days. Later, Ning Fan handed over brothers Niu Heng and Niu Ha to Shen Wansan.

"Master!"

"We have a visitor."

While the two were talking, Lin Yong walked in with a grin on his face, and a look of surprise flashed across Ning Fan's face.

"who?"

"I don't know, the other side just handed me a sign saying it came from the west!"

"oh?"

Ning Fan glanced at the sign with a bit of surprise on his face, then said with a smile: "Let him in!"

"yes!"

Not long after, Lin Yong came over with a young man with a delicate face. With just a glance, Ning Fan knew that this handsome young man was actually a young woman disguised as a man. .

"Dali, Gong Yuyan, pay your respects to His Highness King Pingshi!"

When the man saw Ning Fan, he knelt down and saluted. Ning Fan had a look of confusion on his face: "King Pingshi?"

"Your Highness is the prince of our dynasty, Her Majesty the Empress, and Yu Yan should be honored as such."

"oh!"

Only then did Ning Fan remember that he had come to help Empress Dali when she was in danger, and the system rewarded him with the title of Prince Dali, which he created himself.

He seemed to have chosen a name at random, King Pingshi!

"Get up!"

"Who are you, and why are you here this time?"
