The Dao Zhan technique was activated, entering the core of the Xiao Jiu system.
A bright red exclamation mark appeared in the backend of the live stream.
Xiao Zhixing hesitated for a moment before clicking in.
Two identical live stream interfaces popped up.
Um?
The page has no host or name, it seems like it hasn't been opened yet, the information is completely blank.
There's nowhere to open it, what's going on?
Xiao Zhixing frowned. Could this be a backup room for Xiao Jiu's live stream?
But the colors, one red and one green, just don't feel right.
The live stream room that's currently running is yellow, which makes it easier to distinguish.
These two new things look exactly like a virus invasion.
Without hesitation, she placed them under strict surveillance.
Even the Little Nine System itself didn't realize that the origin of these two newly appeared interfaces was suspicious.
Exit the live stream.
Bai Feng suddenly reported to her, "Xiao Xing, that Ning Jin has contacted me and said she wants to come and pay you a visit in person."
"when?"
Has it finally arrived?
Is the trial period for her over?
Tsk.
"He's already here tonight, are you going or not?"
"You set a location and have him come to see me." Xiao Zhixing seemed somewhat uninterested.
Ning Jin, the owner of Ning's Trading Company, is the one who controls the hidden financial channels of the Yin Dynasty. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is as rich as a country.
Is this because she's made a name for herself lately, that she's come to pay her respects to her new master?
She can acquire wealth on her own; that's her forte.
She also had Eagle One find people to work with through the Ghost Guard, but it would take some time to build up her resources.
Moreover, she is not short of money now. The gold and silver jewelry she robbed from the Northern Barbarians on just two occasions is enough for her to live a life of luxury and extravagance.
Did Ning Jin come on his own, or was he brought here on someone's orders?
She asked Su Zhen.
The army's pay and provisions have always been supplied by the Ministry of Commerce without interruption, and Xiao Yan was naturally the one who put in the effort.
She guessed that the Ministry of Commerce had always been an important force in Xiao Yan's hands.
If Xiao Yan isn't dead, who knows where she's hiding?
She didn't think about going to look for it.
If this person is really alive, he will show himself sooner or later.
As long as she doesn't interfere with my affairs, I'll let her be. But if she dares to interfere with my affairs, then I won't blame her for killing her mother.
Late at night, in a dense forest.
As soon as Xiao Zhixing appeared, the middle-aged man who had been standing with his hands behind his back knelt down on one knee and said, "Greetings, Master."
Xiao Zhixing slowly walked over, his expression cryptic, "Is Boss Ning calling me 'Master' willingly?"
Ning Jin touched her forehead to the ground, saying, "Ning Jin knows her crime and accepts the master's punishment."
He looked up, revealing a pair of phoenix eyes exactly like Xiao Zhixing's.
Xiao Zhixing raised an eyebrow; this person actually bore a resemblance to Xiao Yan.
"Alright, I wouldn't dare punish you. Now that you've met me, you may leave."
I don't want to use him for now; how I use him depends on her mood later.
Ning Jin did not leave, but smiled bitterly, "I know you are angry, so I will not argue. I came here to help you build the new city."
Seeing that Xiao Zhixing did not interrupt him, he continued, "Guixiong New City needs to be built from scratch, which will be very costly, and it also needs to attract population and trade routes to revitalize people's livelihoods."
"I can be the vanguard, setting an example for those who are worried and hesitant, and helping you build a good new city."
Xiao Zhixing looked him up and down.
This person knows how to find a starting point.
The new city is under construction, but due to the war, no one comes here. Only some locals who do not want to leave their homeland choose to move in.
There were no merchants, and the place was in complete desolation.
For example, right now, the cattle and sheep they seized need to be sold and given away to the people for free, but the people can't even keep up with the demand.
The military can't be kept indefinitely; it's only worthwhile if they're sold off and the proceeds used as rewards or military pay to distribute to the troops.
Without trade routes to revitalize the economy and without a population, she had no way to find people to trade with.
Yesterday, Ji Bai was still trying to come up with a plan, issuing a notice to call on merchants from all over the north to come to the new city.
Unfortunately, the results were minimal, and no one took action.
"What exactly are your plans?" Xiao Zhixing was willing to hear his pledge of allegiance.
"My subordinates' shops can establish branches in the new city. I will pay for the construction. The new city only needs to provide vacant wasteland. If you allow, my subordinates can also acquire 70% of the cattle and sheep."
“Those territories are not for sale, only for rent or sale, are you willing to accept that?” Xiao Zhixing pressed his advantage.
The land doesn't belong to him, and the shops built on it naturally don't belong to him either. He only has the right to use it. Can he agree to such harsh conditions?
Ning Jin gritted her teeth, "Alright, I obey!"
"In that case, you can be exposed to the world without fear of... being noticed?"
Zhao Yunqi has been searching for the trade routes of the Yin Dynasty.
Ning Jin smiled broadly, "With you here, Master, the Ministry of Commerce no longer needs to hide anything."
Xiao Zhixing laughed. It was so easy to talk to smart people. This person even flattered others so subtly and naturally.
"Get up. Since that's the case, all the cattle and sheep in the army will be given to you at the normal price. As for what price you sell them for and how much profit you make, I won't interfere."
"And those supplies of mine, I also entrust to you to manage and exchange them for gold and silver."
She doesn't need the jewelry she stole, so it would be best to sell some of the ordinary items and exchange them for gold and silver. Who doesn't like gold and silver?
She paused for a moment, then said finally, "Come see me tomorrow, and bring all the account books from the Ministry of Commerce."
I've had enough of his influence, so I'll accept his loyalty for now.
Ning Jin replied, "Yes, Your Highness."
Xiao Zhixing nodded, and with a few leaps, he disappeared from sight.
Ning Jin slowly straightened up.
A dark figure flashed into view; the newcomer was pale and sweat was beading on his forehead.
