After the meal, Ruanruan returned to Ruanzhuang and told her grandparents what King Jin had brought up.
Mr. Ruan agreed very much and said, "Great! This way they can open a supermarket over there and sell all kinds of things."
"People there can buy whatever they want to eat, and it's affordable."
"Just tell them what they need and we'll buy it and send it to them right away!"
"Hehe, Ruanruan knew that grandpa would agree. Did you hear that, little brothers?" Ruanruan turned sideways and looked at the vase behind her.
When Mr. Ruan heard the voice, his expression paused.
"Thank you, Mr. Ruan." Prince Jin said from the other side.
When Mr. Ruan heard the voice of Prince Jin, he felt a little excited, "Hey... no... you're welcome."
"If you need anything, just ask!"
Prince Jin spoke very respectfully, "Old sir, do you have any other suggestions?"
When Mr. Ruan heard him ask this, he cleared his throat and said, "Actually, I think you can sell your products to more places. This will not only help Qingzhou develop, but also drive the development of the entire Gan Kingdom!"
"What the old gentleman said is very good. I, Zhao, have the same idea." The idea of King Jin coincided with that of Old Man Ruan.
The two chatted about this topic for a while before ending it hastily.
Two days later.
Outside Qingzhou City, a large group of people gathered. They all stood at the gates, shouting and begging:
"Your Majesty, please have mercy on us! Open the city gate and let us in!"
"Yes, if we don't go in now we're really going to die of illness and starvation. Please be kind!"
"If we just lie down at the city gate, it will be useless. King Jin will ignore us!"
"That's right. Even if I die, I would rather die at the city gate. As long as King Jin is not afraid of being cursed, he will never open the city gate." Among the crowd, many were infected with the plague. Their faces were pale and they kept coughing in the cold wind. Some people even sat directly at the gate.
They saw a row of soldiers walking towards them from a distance, and they immediately stood up.
"Sir, please save us!"
"Yes, yes, sir, please save us. We are all innocent people."
"Yes, if we don't get into the city we will all die!"
Xiao Qinbei tightened the reins, his eyes raised slightly, "What's going on? Why won't the soldiers in Qingzhou City let you pass?"
"The prince refused to let us into the city. He saw that we had the plague and was afraid that it would affect the people in the city, so he abandoned us outside the city gate."
"Yes, we are the abandoned children of Qingzhou!"
"Yes, now other cities have followed Qingzhou's example and closed their gates. We don't even have a place to stay!"
"We left Qingzhou. We were exhausted from the travel these past few days and were already exhausted. We had planned to return to Qingzhou, but who would have thought that we could only leave Qingzhou City but not enter!"
…
Xiao Shunan, who was standing next to Xiao Qinbei, said angrily, "Prince Jin is going too far. We are all human beings, so why does he treat you like this?"
"I never thought the King of Jin was so narrow-minded and so disregardful of the lives of his people. My classmate used to praise him for his great talent and vision."
"Dad, let's go into the city and seek justice for the people!"
Before Xiao Qinbei could speak, Xiao Shunan clamped his horse's saddle and walked to the city gate.
He shouted, "Open the door! Prince Xiao's Mansion has been ordered to come to support Qingzhou."
When the people nearby heard that they were people supporting Qingzhou, hope lit up in their eyes.
"Great! Someone's coming from Bianjing. We can finally enter the city!"
"Yes, Qingzhou is a small place, and the prince is the only one in power. No one dares to disobey the prince's will. The prince can't disobey the imperial edict!"
However, Xiao Shunan shouted at the door for a long time, but the door remained motionless.
"Shun'an, come back." Xiao Qinbei, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.
"Dad, Qingzhou is going too far. We came here to support and deliver food, but they treated us like this. Could it be that King Jin wants us to beg him to let us in?"
Xiao Shunan held the reins and returned to Xiao Qinbei's side angrily.
"I want to see how long they can hold out!"
Xiao Qinbei turned his head to signal his guards, who shouted to the soldiers at the city gate, "Hurry up and open the gate! Xiao Qinbei from Prince Xiao's Mansion is here to support Qingzhou."
After waiting for a moment, a soldier on the city wall leaned out halfway, holding a loud speaker and shouting, "Outside the gate is Prince Xiao, sent by Bian Jing to support us!"
The sound coming from the city gate was a bit loud, sharp and thin, and everyone was startled when they heard it.
The guard reacted and responded, "Exactly!"
The soldiers gathered their strength and shouted, "Please wait a moment, Prince Xiao. We will let you in after we report to the prince!"
The people below covered their ears.
Xiao Shunan curled his lips and touched his ears. "Why are the soldiers in Qingzhou so loud? They're almost making my ears burst."
"Don't they need food? The reinforcements have arrived, but they haven't reported to King Jin in a hurry. Doesn't King Jin know that we are coming today?" He said somewhat dissatisfiedly.
"He's still acting like a prince? Does he really think he's still the same prince he was before?"
"It's a shame some people still say he loves the people. Haha... that's the opposite. For the sake of face, he completely disregards the lives of the people of Qingzhou!"
In Qingzhou at this time.
A long queue formed on the street, stretching from a large shop in the city to the end of the street.
They sell everything there, including meat, fruit, vegetables and some daily necessities.
The people queuing up to buy things all had happy smiles on their faces and were talking about it.
"Who could have imagined that Qingzhou would undergo such earth-shaking changes in just one month!"
"This is all thanks to the prince, and also thanks to our little miracle doctor!"
"If the little doctor hadn't given us medicine to cure the plague, we would have died long ago!"
"Your Highness is the God of Qingzhou. The greenhouse has just been opened, and he has ordered a large shop to be opened in the city to provide vegetables for us common people. We can buy as much as we want. The little money we get every month can finally be put to good use!"
"I see a lot of people up ahead, grabbing some meat. The shop has meat for sale. That's great! I can finally eat some meat today!"
“I wonder if there will still be any left when it’s my turn!”
The streets were bustling with people, and from time to time someone would come out of the shop carrying things.
The shop is divided into areas. In one area, there are many shelves, and the tables and the floor are filled with neatly arranged vegetables and fruits.
There are also some areas that specialize in selling meat, rice, sorghum, etc., as well as some selling clothing materials, shoes and socks, and even some daily necessities such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, pots and pans, etc.
There are dedicated personnel guarding each area.
There were several people standing at the door of the shop, and the people queuing in could only buy one item at a time.
It was very lively inside, and in the wing room on the top floor of the shop.
Zhao Chengqian was sitting by the window in the room. He glanced outside and saw a long queue of people wanting to buy things.
There was a vase on the table in front of him.
A soft voice came from the vase: "Little brother, please find a place to put your things."
