Chapter 371

In front of the house of the king of Qi, businessmen gathered to wait for the king of Qi to return from Shanhaiguan.

The news of the Qingzhou army's attack on the mountain Customs was published in the newspaper a few days ago. When they learned of the news, the businessmen who contributed to the Northern Expedition stayed up all night.

At first, they didn't hope that Xiao Ming could drive away the barbarians in Youzhou. The reason why they invested money was to flatter Xiao Ming and win his favor. However, they didn't expect that only three months later, Shanhaiguan was really recovered by Xiao Ming, and the Sixteen States of Yanyun had become Xiao Ming's bag.

At this time, they remembered their support for the northern expedition. One by one, they could not wait to run to the gate of king Qi's residence, waiting for the letter of 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 them at the beginning was that they would get three times the income, that is to say, if they invested 100000 Liang at the beginning, they would get 300000 liang of equivalent land now.

As soon as they think of the vast grassland outside Cangzhou, they can't calm down. After all, it's a good horse farm. If they take the land to raise horses and sell them to the vassal of the state of Dayu, it's a business with huge profits.

"Your Highness, your highness is back."

Xiao Ming's appearance was soon discovered by businessmen. When a businessman called out this sentence, a group of businessmen immediately gathered around Xiao Ming. Their faces were all full of flattering smiles, and they almost hugged Xiao Ming's thighs.

The aster is also in front of the palace.

It's really a headache for these businessmen to wait in front of the palace on time every day. Now when Xiao Ming comes back, she is also relieved.

But for her, the most important task is to take care of Xiao Ming's daily life and health. So she pinched Xiao Ming's waist and said to a group of businessmen, "ladies and gentlemen, your highness, it must be tiring at this time of a long journey. It's better to talk about this business tomorrow."

Xiao Ming nodded at Wen Yan. He was really tired and didn't want to deal with these things immediately. After all, she had to think about how to return the profits of the merchants. She had to talk to Pang Yukun about this matter and let him make up his mind.

So he took the opportunity to bow his hand and said, "ladies and gentlemen, I know what you are doing here. What I promised you at the beginning will not change. So please don't worry. In two days, I will call you to the chamber of Commerce to discuss this."

Cao Zhengyang is also in the crowd, this time he put in the most money, of course, he is also the most proud now.

He said: "Your Highness misunderstood. We didn't come here to make your highness fulfill his promise immediately. We are tired of this war. We have sent some tonics for your highness to keep his health."

As he said, Cao Zhengyang motioned to his servant. Six servants immediately came to Xiao Ming with six red red sandalwood boxes. The box opened, and there were ginseng, Cymbidium, Polygonum multiflorum and other precious medicinal materials in it.

Seeing that Cao Zhengyang was so attentive and not lagging behind, other businessmen showed Xiao Ming their gifts and begged him to accept them.

There are many kinds of gifts, such as exquisite porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and fur shawls. Xiao Ming's eyes are full of them.

At this time, aster showed a smile. She liked these merchants to give gifts to the king's house. And with Xiao Ming's temperament, it was impossible not to accept these gifts.

Sure enough, Xiao Ming bowed his hand to the merchants and asked her to send them to the palace.

"Your Highness, since the gift has been delivered, we will not disturb your Highness's rest, so we will go back." Since he came to Qingzhou, Cao Zhengyang has been very attentive and sensible.

Xiao Ming nodded with a relaxed look.

If you don't accept these gifts, you won't accept them. Anyway, you want to share the profits with them. These rights should be kickbacks.

He said to Cao Zhengyang, "in that case, I'll see you another day. I'll see you another day. Please come back."

Although he was wary of Cao family's involvement in Qingzhou's financial industry, he had to say that Cao Zhengyang was very tactful and tactful, but he was very comfortable to support him in everything.

However, Xiao Ming comes from the modern age. He knows that what capital is good at is sugar coated shells. He is happy, but he will still tighten his nerves.

After accepting the gifts, the merchants gradually dispersed.

Xiao Ming let out a breath, got off his horse and went to the palace.

Aster excitedly instructed his servants to move the gift back to the palace, and his little face was flushed.

See this, Xiao Ming shook his head, this aster now really become a small money fan.

However, despite the excitement of receiving the gift, aster did not forget to take care of Xiao Ming.

After Xiao Ming entered the palace, she followed him all the way, and asked the dining room to prepare food for him.

When he arrived at the bedchamber, the aster took off his chest armor and said, "Your Highness, the empress has brought a message to say that the maid Feng has already left for Qingzhou, and the empress also said to let the maid prepare for your Highness's wedding."

"Well, I reckon that the imperial edict should have arrived. By the way, did my mother's concubine not say what happened in today's court?"Xiao Ming asked as he changed into casual clothes with aster.

"The empress didn't say much. She just said that the emperor was very happy. The courtiers also appreciated it. This time, they must reward his highness." Aster said with a smile.

This time, Xiao Ming made a great contribution and won the Shanhaiguan Pass, which was lost more than ten years ago. According to aster, this contribution is enough to make other princes in the court blush.

Xiao Ming nodded. At this time, the more there was no movement in the court, the more uneasy he was.

After all, it's always calm before a storm.

This time is different from the past, the battle of Cangzhou may only save the barbarians from invading Qi and Wei, but this time he completely changed the domestic situation of Dayu.

The barbarians in Yanyun sixteen prefectures withdrew from the pass. As long as Shanhai Pass is not lost, it is difficult for the barbarians to sneeze as before, and the state of Dayu will have to shake three times.

It's hard to say what will change in the court without the threat of the knife rest around the neck.

However, he didn't worry much. Shanhai was holding the throat of barbarians and Dayu in his hand.

He knows the truth of flying birds, good bows, cunning rabbits and running dogs.

Xiao Wenxuan still has to rely on him to hold the world's grand pass, so after his trip to Chang'an, his status will rise in a straight line, and there will be more beads on his head.

Now the only problem is his brothers who are not bad intentions, because he is just like a black horse into the political center of Chang'an.

But he is not very worried, for him, all the intrigues will be smashed in the fire!
