Yun Zheng held a simple funeral for Gao Shizhen on the Muma Grassland.
Gao Shizhen's students at the horse-grassland and nearby herdsmen all came to see him off.
Yun Zheng followed Gao Shizhen's last wish and personally scattered half of his ashes on the land here.
Afterwards, Yun Zheng left the horse pasture and rode towards Jiqing at full speed.
Six days later, Yun Zheng finally arrived in Jiqing.
Looking at the city ahead, Yun Zheng suddenly smiled.
Jiqing is not only an important trading place for Beihuan and Dagan, but also a key town guarding the Modong Corridor.
After four years of construction, Jiqing has completed its construction.
With the arrival of spring, the number of merchants traveling to Jiqing gradually increases.
After experiencing a cold winter, Beihuan was in need of more supplies. The sheepskins, cowhides, wolfskins and the like that they had processed in the winter could be brought to Jiqing to exchange for the supplies they needed.
...
...
As soon as they arrived outside the gate of Jiqing City, they saw a group of people waiting there to greet them.
“Father!”
“Father…”
Qi Yan saw Luntai in the crowd at a glance, and without caring about anything else, he rode his horse directly towards Luntai.
Hearing Qi Yan's call, Lun Tai couldn't help but tremble all over and almost rushed out on his horse.
Fortunately, he finally held back and just stood there, waiting for Qi Yan to run towards him.
"Let's go! Let's go into the city and take a look!"
Yun Zheng called everyone, shook the reins in his hand, and slowly walked towards the city gate.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Everyone saluted together, and Luntai didn't even bother to get intimate with Qiyan, and quickly followed suit.
"No need to be so polite!"
Yun Zheng raised his hand slightly and dismounted.
After a moment, Yun Zheng walked over to Qi Yan, who was holding Lun Tai's hand tightly, and raised his hand to tap Qi Yan's head gently, "What you did just now is already an overstepping of the bounds! If you dare to do this again next time, be careful that I will spank you!"
Qi Yan realized it belatedly and quickly let go of Lun Tai's hand, bowing and saying, "Qi Yan knows he was wrong, please punish me, uncle."
"Since you miss your father so much, I will not punish you."
Yun Zheng smiled.
"Thank you, uncle."
Qi Yan felt relieved.
Yun Zheng smiled and asked Lun Tai, "Aren't you waiting on the grassland? Why did you come to Jiqing?"
Luntai replied: "It just so happened that a caravan came to exchange supplies, and I wanted to see the child as soon as possible, so I followed them."
"Oh, I see!"
Yun Zheng looked around and asked, "Didn't anyone come with you?"
"No."
Lun Tai shook his head slightly. "Lord Budu was ill in the winter and has not recovered yet. I asked him to stay in the royal court to recuperate."
"Is it serious?"
Yun Zheng asked immediately.
"fine."
Lun Tai replied: "Lord Budu is still in good health. After treatment, he has recovered a lot! But he is still old after all, so his recovery is a bit slow..."
Although they are not all martial artists and their bodies are much stronger than ordinary people, they are ultimately unable to resist the erosion of time.
The older generation of people in Dagan are gradually disappearing, and the older generation of heroes on the grassland are also gradually fading away.
"I'm glad you're okay!"
Yun Zheng sighed softly, "Let's go, we'll talk after we enter the city!"
"yes!"
Soon, a group of people entered the city.
Jiqing is a new city. When it was first built, it was regarded as an important trade distribution center. The streets here are extremely wide, and five or six horse-drawn carriages loaded with goods can run side by side.
There are mostly shops on both sides of the streets near the city gate.
However, the goods in these shops are relatively simple.
Most of the things they sold were practical items such as food, wine, clothing and pottery.
Yun Zheng stopped when passing by a shop selling clothes.
After a brief thought, Yun Zheng walked towards the shop.
"I pay my respects to the prince."
The shop owner hurriedly came forward with two of his assistants to pay their respects.
"No need to be polite!"
Yun Zheng stopped them and his eyes fell on those sets of snow-white leather suits.
"What fur are these made of?"
Yun Zheng asked the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper did not dare to neglect the matter and quickly pointed at a few fur coats and introduced them: "These two are made of fox fur, and these are made of mink fur..."
Yun Zheng glanced at the furs and asked, "Are all the furs you buy now made directly into ready-made clothes?"
The shopkeeper replied: "A small number of them are made directly into ready-made clothes, but most of them still need to be tailor-made..."
These ready-made clothes can also be considered samples.
These ready-made garments are placed here mainly to showcase their craftsmanship.
Therefore, the styles of ready-made clothes are relatively complex, and they are made as exquisitely as possible.
"How many clothes can you sell in your shop in a year?"
Yun Zheng asked again.
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper quickly took out the account book from the small cabinet next to him and handed it to Yun Zheng respectfully: "This is the account book of our shop. Please take a look, Your Majesty."
Yun Zheng took the account book and looked through it carefully.
The account book only started in September last year.
So far, they have sold about thirty fur coats and more than two hundred cloth and cotton coats.
In addition, they still had more than fifty sets of clothes that had not been completed.
Judging from their revenue, it seems pretty good and they have already recovered their investment.
Yun Zheng returned the account book to the shopkeeper and said, "I bought all those fur coats!"
Hearing Yun Zheng's words, the shopkeeper was overjoyed and said quickly: "It is an honor for me that the prince likes these furs. I am willing to give these furs to the prince..."
It is definitely his honor that Yun Zheng likes the fur coats in his shop!
In the future, if he tells people that princes have bought fur coats from his shop, will his shop still worry about business?
"This king doesn't need these few silver coins, just take whatever you want."
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "However, I have a condition."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
The shopkeeper looked at Yun Zheng nervously.
Yun Zheng smiled: "Before tomorrow noon, you have to make me another small fur coat, about for a one-year-old... no, it's for a two-year-old child..."
It's spring already!
The clothes I make for my children now will definitely not be worn until this winter.
It would be better to make it a little bigger.
The shopkeeper thought Yun Zheng had some difficult conditions and was very nervous just now.
When he learned that this was the only condition, he immediately assured with a sense of relief: "I will definitely do it!"
"Okay! Then I will have someone come and get the clothes before noon tomorrow."
As Yun Zheng said this, he asked Lin Ji to give the shopkeeper ten taels of silver as a deposit.
When they left, Luntai asked hurriedly, "My Lord, are these the clothes you ordered for your and Jiayao's child?"
"Um."
Yun Zheng nodded gently, "According to the time, the child should be a little over one year old, and I haven't bought anything for him yet!"
"Your Majesty, do you know where the mother and son are?"
Lun Tai asked quickly.
"I know the approximate location."
Yun Zheng smiled.
Yun Zheng was not worried about this at all.
Even if he only knew the approximate location, he had a way to deliver the clothes to Jiayao and her son.
"Has the prince named the child yet?"
Lun Tai asked again.
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "It's not my turn to choose. Father has already chosen it!"
Not only has he and Jiayao's child's name been chosen.
Even the names of the children in Miaoyin and Xinsheng's bellies should have been chosen by the emperor...
