Chapter 295 Luo 9 City
In addition to frostbite cream, Ye Jintang also makes longevity pills and jade face cream.
These two medicines are also rare and top-grade pills. Now that she has almost accumulated all the medicinal materials, she wants to make some first to see the effect.
In the carriage, Ye Jintang's attention was all on the medicinal herbs. When Xiao Mo wanted to talk to her, she just responded perfunctorily.
Later, Xiao Mo stopped talking and just watched her busy with the medicinal herbs quietly.
Being stared at by a pair of burning eyes, even if Ye Jintang was a piece of wood, he could feel it.
"My Lord, are you free?"
"It's nothing."
"If the prince is free, he can go to the counselors' carriage and discuss with them how to build Ningchuan Prefecture. Last time we only gave a general idea. As for how to improve it, we still need to think carefully about the details."
Ningchuan Prefecture is said to be a fiefdom, but it is not much different from a country.
Xiao Mo has complete say here, and all taxes belong to him. It can be said that he is the local emperor of Ningchuan Prefecture.
It is not easy to be a local emperor, and Xiao Mo has a lot to think about.
"Okay, I'll come see you at noon."
Xiao Mo was driven away very reluctantly. Looking at his resentful look, Ye Jintang just found it funny.
As soon as Xiao Mo left, Xuetuan ran into the carriage from the roof, acting coquettishly towards Ye Jintang and meowing.
"Are you, little greedy cat, thinking about fish again?"
"Meow......"
Xuetuan rubbed Ye Jintang's palm with its big furry head, signaling her to hurry up. It was so hard to get Xiao Mo to stay away, and if he came back soon, it would have no fish to eat again.
“Just eat with your heart.”
A man and a cat appeared in the space.
Next to the water tank, Ye Jintang placed another large red pottery water tank, which contained a lot of crucian carp and carp.
"Hey, it's only been there for one day, how come it's grown so big?"
Looking at the water tank already crowded with fish, she really didn't know what to say.
She only put a little spring water in the big water tank, but she didn't expect the effect to be so good that the small fish turned into big fish overnight.
"Meow......"
Snowball, who was already impatient, lay down beside the water tank, stretching out his claws from time to time, trying to catch a big fish to eat.
Ye Jintang used a net bag to catch a large carp weighing six or seven pounds and put it on the stone slab for Xuetuan to satisfy his craving.
When it saw the snow ball of fish, it pounced on it and started eating it in big mouthfuls. From time to time, it wagged its tail at Ye Jintang to tell her how happy it was at the moment.
"If you have carp to eat, don't think about my little goldfish anymore. If I see you stealing my little goldfish again, I won't give you any fish in the future."
Snowball, who was eating quietly, made gurgling sounds, as if telling her that he understood.
Ye Jintang took out his newly bought strong bow and continued to practice archery in the space.
At first she felt a little tired when drawing the bow, but after practicing for a long time she gradually got used to it.
The target was getting farther and farther away, and she felt that she was not far from hitting the target.
Ye Jintang likes to do everything to the extreme, whether it is business or martial arts, she hopes to do her best.
It takes a total of 4 days to get from Jianing City to Luojiu City. The large army hardly stopped along the way and kept on marching.
The original 4-day journey was shortened to days.
From a distance, Ye Jintang saw the towering city gate of Luojiu City.
Luojiu City is a relatively large city in the northwest. The trade here is very prosperous. There are a large number of merchants from several surrounding border countries doing business here.
"Our people will not enter the city. Everyone will set up tents outside the city."
Following Xiao Mo's order, everyone stopped the carriage, got off, packed their things, and prepared to find a place to set up tents.
Xiao Mo came to find Ye Jintang.
"We will take a few people into the city later. I don't know how Bai Ziyao and his men are doing. It's hard to say whether it's easy or difficult to do business in Luojiu City. If it really works out, the monthly dividends will be more than those of the other cities combined."
"So exaggerated?"
Ye Jintang had heard about Luo Jiuchen before. Many people had made a fortune here, while many others had lost everything here. It could be said that Luo Jiuchen was a city full of hope and temptation.
"You will know for yourself if I am exaggerating after you go in."
The two men did not bring many people with them when they entered the city, but they entered the city much faster than usual.
Just after walking a few steps into the city, Liuli and Bai Ziyao, who had been waiting here, came to greet them.
"Your Majesty, Yao Zhen is also in the city. Their spies have discovered us. They probably know everything that Your Majesty and the Prince do."
When Liuli said this, she looked not far away and saw two young men dressed as businessmen talking on the side of the road. They didn't seem to be doing anything wrong.
"These two people have been with us all morning. I'm not hiding from them now that I've been exposed."
Ye Jintang never expected that the spies of both sides had already started fighting.
She was inquiring about Yao Zhen and Zhou Quankun, and they were also keeping an eye on their movements.
"It doesn't matter. Even if they knew I was running a business and opening a shop, I don't think they would have time to cause trouble."
At that moment, Zhou Quankun and Yao Zhen were so focused on assassinating Xiao Mo that they probably had no time to take care of other things.
Liuli took Ye Jintang to see the shop and warehouse they had prepared.
As we walked along, we found that Luojiu City was indeed more prosperous than the previous cities. There were vendors on both sides of the road and many pedestrians on the street.
In such a prosperous city, she naturally wanted to open two larger shops.
According to Ye Jintang's plan, she would open two larger grocery stores and herbal medicine stores in Luojiucheng, as well as a pastry workshop and a rouge workshop.
When she went to see the warehouse, she quietly put the medicinal herbs, chestnuts and raw materials for making rouge that had been prepared long ago into the warehouse.
Roughly speaking, the raw materials she put in were enough to last two workshops for half a year.
Ye Jintang was busy looking after the shop. Zhou Quankun was also in the city at this time, keeping an eye on Ye Jintang and Xiao Mo's every move.
"I really didn't expect that Ye Jintang, a girl raised in the backyard, would actually do business."
On the second floor of a teahouse, Zhou Quankun and Yao Zhen sat by the window, watching Ye Jintang and Xiao Mo from afar as they came out of a large shop.
"I heard that Ye Jintang's maternal grandfather was a royal merchant. With her background, how could she not be good at business?"
Yao Zhen's words were full of disdain, and scholars, workers, farmers, merchants, and even imperial merchants were ranked at the end.
If Xiao Mo had not been injured and disabled, she would not have been able to become a princess given her background.
"Brother Kun, have you decided where to attack? I see that Ye Jintang and Xiao Mo only brought a few guards into the city. Why don't we attack them from the inside of the city? This way, we can save a lot of poison."
Zhou Quankun picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip and said slowly, "There are many people in Luojiu City, and it is easy for the two to escape during a sneak attack. It is not easy to rescue two people in such a big city."
"I must hit the target right away in this sneak attack. If I delay any further and let them leave Luojiu City, it will not be so easy for me to sneak attack Xiao Mo again later."
Zhou Quankun also knew that once they left Luojiu City, they were already very far away from the capital. Xiao Mo had led troops to fight in wars before, so he definitely knew how difficult the road ahead would be.
