Become a feudal king from today

Jinling City.

Since the founding of Dasong, it has been the location of the imperial capital.

For more than two hundred years, it benefited from the prosperity of Jiangnan and became the center of power in Dasong, making it extremely prosperous with a population of more than one million.

Those who claim to be the richest in the world live in Jiangnan, and those who claim to be richest in the south of the Yangtze River live in Jinling.

At this time, it was hot summer and it was extremely hot in Jinling.

As in previous years, the ice shipped from the north last winter was very popular.

But it’s the same.

Since ice is not easy to transport and obtain, after only supplying some of the city's dignitaries, Jinling City fell into the dilemma of having no ice to sell.

Even the palace, because last winter was not very cold, could not transport enough ice from the north and could only use it sparingly.

It is impossible to reward the ministers with ice cubes as much as in previous years, which makes it even more difficult to find ice in Jinling City.

However, just when the price of ice was high, a business suddenly appeared in Jinling City, selling ice on a large scale.

For a time, Jinling dignitaries who were tortured by the heat flocked to him.

"I have never heard of Yanjun Trading Company."

In the restaurant opposite the trading house, many drinkers were drinking and talking.

Looking at the crowd of ice-buyers crowding in front of the store, they sighed.

"Nowadays, it's the time when Binggui is expensive, and this business is really going to make a fortune."

"No, Yan County, isn't this a county under Yanzhou?"

"Well, it's from Yanzhou, but the ice is shipped from Yanzhou and sold so cheaply. Isn't the owner of this business afraid of losing money?"

"..."

Everyone was talking a lot.

In their opinion, the more than 2,000 miles from Yanzhou to Jinling, just the money spent on water transportation is more profitable than the ice.

I really can’t figure out why the store can still sell ice so cheaply.

"I don't care if it's a loss or not. It's so cheap. I'll buy some for home later so that my baby can eat some ice cream to relieve the heat."

"That's right, it's five cents of silver per catty. If you don't buy it, it's free."

"If you want to buy it, you have to hurry up, otherwise it will be sold out."

There was another commotion, and several drinkers in the restaurant came downstairs.

Yanjun Trading Company.

Guan Zhong stared at the account, and the two people around him were responsible for putting the silver in the box.

He is the steward sent by the palace to Yan County, and he is responsible for supervising the accounts together with his two servants.

When they first came to Jinling, they had nothing to do in the Chamber of Commerce.

The children and servants sent by the wealthy families deliberately kept away from them.

In response, they were angry and helpless.

After all, they knew that the palace's position in Yan County was not yet stable.

Only yesterday, this situation suddenly changed.

The reason is that a group of wealthy children suddenly came from Yan County.

It is said that these children of wealthy families rode fast horses and kept changing horses along the way, arriving in five days.

After arriving in Jinling, they immediately captured the clansmen and slaves of the Huang and Du families.

After that, the power of Yanjun Commercial Bank was handed over to them.

The status of the three people in the trading company skyrocketed.

Only then did they know that something big had happened in Yan County.

The rebellion of the Huang and Du families was eliminated by the palace, and the Zhang family lost its former glory.

The palace took control of Yan County, and their highness became the real King of Yan.

"You two will stay here and watch me this afternoon while I deliver a message to His Highness?"

Guan Zhong looked serious as he touched the letter on his chest.

This is a letter that King Yan asked the Dong family's children to send to the noble Mi in the palace.

If he guessed correctly, this noble lady is the biological mother of King Yan.

During these days in the Imperial City, he has learned a lot in the Imperial City.

The concubines in the palace also have levels, including noble concubine, concubine, Zhaoyi, Jieyu, beauty, talented person, noble person, and several levels of selected attendants and ladies.

King Yan's biological mother was just a noble person, which shows that her status in the palace was low, and even the mother could not do it just because her son was noble.

However, this is not what he should consider.

King Yan was no longer valued by the emperor, but he was not worthy of being compared to one of his servants.

"Xiangguo Temple." This is a very prosperous place in Jinling City.

The female relatives of many powerful families in the imperial city often come here to burn incense and pray.

According to the oral instructions of King Yan, his mother would occasionally come out of the palace to burn incense and pray at Xiangguo Temple.

However, there are some difficulties in delivering letters this way.

But there is another way, which is by the Xiangguo Temple.

There is the residence of the great eunuch Liang Cheng.

According to King Yan's oral instructions, he would bring ten thousand taels of silver to Liang Cheng's door this time to bribe Liang Cheng for him, pretending to be close to him, in order to make things more convenient in the palace.

And this method is more likely to deliver the letter.

After thinking about this, he took the money from his account and asked his servants to carry it to Xiangguo Temple.

The King of Yan sent him to Jinling because of his trust in him.

He had to figure things out no matter what so that he could live up to King Yan's kindness.

Liang Cheng's house is very famous, and almost everyone in Jinling City knows it.

After crossing five bridges, crossing three streets, and turning several alleys, he stopped in front of a large house.

"How generous." Guan Zhong lamented.

In front of the mansion in front of him, two stone Suanni were lifelike.

The golden door nails on the bright red lacquer door shine brightly.

In front of the door, a row of wealthy slaves were standing or sitting. Their clothes were all silk and satin, and their belts were also hung with gold and jade.

The strong contrast reminded him of the shabby palace.

He suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

King Yan of his family said that he was a prince, but he was not as good as a eunuch.

This thought just passed through his mind, but he didn't dare to look down upon Liang Cheng.

Who in Jinling City doesn't know that he is a popular figure in front of the emperor.

Both princes and dignitaries are willing to curry favor and let him say a few nice words in front of the emperor.

"What are you doing? Don't stop in front of the door. Get out!" Guan Zhong just stopped.

The slave in front of the mansion showed an expression like a vicious dog and walked towards him with a stick.

Guan Zhong's expression didn't change, he took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and greeted it.

"Brothers, it's convenient." Guan Zhong stuffed the money into Haonu's sleeves.

When the slave saw that each silver ingot was fifty taels, he immediately turned his anger into a smile and asked, "Where did you come from? Are you asking Mr. Liang to do something?"

"Exactly." Guan Zhong took out the famous post from his sleeve, which was also brought from Yanzhou. "His Royal Highness, King Yan, has prepared some small gifts for the manager."

"That silly..." The wealthy family member of the Liang Mansion was about to say silly prince, but suddenly stopped and said with an embarrassed smile: "It turns out to be the Ninth Prince."

"Yes, His Royal Highness Prince Yan has recovered from illness recently. He misses the Emperor and his mother, and also remembers the steward's care when he was in the capital, so he ordered me to come here specially." Guan Zhong said one by one.

The two slaves looked at each other and said, "It will be easier if you have a name post. In this case, you wait here and I will notify you. It just so happens that the manager is at the mansion today. As for whether he will see you or not, it all depends on your luck." "

Guan Zhong apologized and said, "Brother, just send it away, there will be gifts later."

The two nodded, showing a teachable expression, and turned around to enter the house.

After turning around a screen wall with cranes painted on it, Haonu walked down the long corridor and saw Liang Cheng fishing by the lotus pond in the garden.

The arrogance in the wealthy man's body instantly dissipated, like a docile puppy, he whispered: "Sir, the Ninth Prince has sent me a name card."

Liang Cheng said "Oh", and then suddenly reacted, "Who?"

"Nine...Ninth Prince, his servants said that the Ninth Prince has recovered from his illness, so he came here to thank you." Haonu turned pale with fright, thinking that he had caused trouble.

Liang Cheng was even more surprised when he heard this, "The Ninth Prince has recovered from his illness!"

He frowned, and his bright white eyebrows twitched a few times, "Let the servant come in. If we have anything to ask him, we can ask him."
