The Princess of Northern Land

Chapter 523 The golden phoenix flew out of the grass nest (2)

"It is my decree that from now on, all merchants are not allowed to transport food to the north." The emperor gave the order with a cold face.

No matter how much the Third Prince's people objected, they could only take it in their hearts.

Following the emperor's words, the people in the streets and alleys of Daqin also knew.

The people talked about this a lot. Although the Northland was the fiefdom of King Ling, it was also the border of Da Qin. There were 500,000 soldiers there who came from ordinary people's homes.

The emperor did not allow grain from Great Qin to be transported to the north, and everyone knew that the north was vast and sparsely populated, and was not suitable for growing food at all. The emperor's move was no different from forcing the soldiers on the border to die.

The people who had children and grandchildren in the north all shed tears. Their relatives guarded the border for the Qin Dynasty and were willing to shed blood with their heads, but the emperor was so cruel to them. What's more, there are even some scholars who secretly complain about Chu Suifeng, the king of the mausoleum.

There is no other reason. When Concubine De was alive, she did many good deeds, and many people still remember her good deeds. Secondly, the people of Qin have lived a stable life for so many years, which is largely due to the contribution of King Chu Suifeng. This prince, who had been sent away since he was a child, has shouldered the heavy burden of protecting Da Qin with his weak shoulders since he was a teenager. Over the years, I have worked hard and never complained.

The emperor cut off King Ling's escape because of groundless rumors, so what the emperor did was chilling.

Even more anxious are the merchants from various states.

When Lin Ziyin and Chu Suifeng agreed to do business with them, the requirement was to exchange grain for things. Many commodities produced in the North were already very popular in Daqin, such as oil, vinegar, various soy sauces, oil and tofu. Milk has entered thousands of households and has become a necessity in people's lives. Especially wealthy people or restaurants cannot live without these products. If the business suddenly stops, they will lose a lot of money.

In addition, various seasonings are also produced by merchants from the North and elsewhere, and they cannot imitate them either. Add in soymilk powder, wool yarn and related products, and I’m afraid everyone simply won’t be able to bear the loss.

"Fortunately, Miss Lin and Prince Ling have foresight." But the big merchants have countermeasures.

"Master Bai, please go back and tell the prince that we will definitely handle the matter entrusted by the prince." In the backyard of the restaurant, several businessmen were discussing matters softly. "Please also ask Mr. Bai to help us bring in more goods."

"We can guarantee the condiments, seafood, and vegetable oil, but the prince has said that we need to stop talking about the rest for a while." Opposite, a young man in white replied softly, "But the prince will not forget the kindness of Mr. Zhu in the future. "

"How dare you." The middle-aged man replied with a smile.

"Then I'll say goodbye and go back to the Northland first." The man in white stood up and said goodbye with a smile.

"Please, when Mr. Bai is free in the future, Jia will definitely invite him to have some fun in the capital."

"Thank you. I'll just keep this invitation in mind." The young man agreed with a smile. The relationship between the two parties seemed to be very close.

"Master, did you take some risks?" When the middle-aged man returned to the backyard, an old man with a mustache who had been standing behind him asked worriedly.

"Of course it's a risk. Now in the capital, we are the only one in Yipinlou that sells vegetarian oil, and it's full of condiments. How can the business be good? As long as the things assigned by King Ling are done well, the money we earn in three months will definitely be 1% more than in previous years." More years." The middle-aged man explained with a smile, "It's just that you have to put in some effort to get the benefits. Although it is a bit more dangerous, fortunately, those people have household registrations available, and we are doing business normally, but It's just a good deed. We're not buying and selling people, so what if the government knows about it? Don't forget, the people standing behind us are Concubine Xian and Prince Suqing."
