Two days later, Yun Zheng took Ye Zi and Miao Yin to Le'an.
After the assassination attempt during the last trip, Yun Zheng’s personal guards were extra cautious this time.
Under the close protection of the Royal Guards, the journey was safe and sound.
"Are we almost at Mayi?"
Yun Zheng lifted the carriage curtain and looked outside, then instructed Chen Kuan: "Tell them to rest in Mayi for a day before setting off again."
Chen Kuan was one of the first people trained by Chen Luoyan to serve as his bodyguards.
Since Yun Zheng came to Shuobei, Chen Kuan has been in his personal guard.
Now, people like Tong Gang, Zhou Mi, and Gao He have all been released.
Shen Kuan temporarily took over the position of commander of his personal guards.
"yes!"
...
...
Shen Kuan accepted the order.
"No need to delay."
Ye Zi knew that Yun Zheng was worried about her long journey, so she pursed her lips and said, "I'm fine. I've only been pregnant for a short time. I'm not like Luo Yan, who has a big belly."
"Take a day off!"
Yun Zheng held Ye Zi's hand and said, "You are pregnant. You need to take a good rest after such a bumpy journey! Let's go to Mayi and see how many grain merchants have come to Mayi."
Originally, he didn't want Ye Zi to come with him.
But because this trip might involve going to Beilu Pass to pick up the emperor, Ye Zi insisted on following.
Ye Zi said that Chen Luoyan's belly was too big to travel far, but if Emperor Wen came to Shuobei again, it would be unreasonable for her not to go with him to welcome him.
"Don't be so nervous. She's already passed the early stages of pregnancy. She's not as fragile as you think." Miaoyin glanced at Yun Zheng sideways, and then teased with a joking look on her face: "Besides, you've done a lot of more bumpy things!"
Something more bumpy?
Hearing Miaoyin's words, Yun Zheng couldn't help but blush, and immediately glared at Miaoyin fiercely.
Miaoyin was not only not afraid, she couldn't help but giggle.
Ye Zi's pretty face flushed, and she gently pinched Yun Zheng again.
It’s all this bad guy’s fault!
When he was at home, he tortured himself in broad daylight.
Even though he was caught by Miaoyin, he shamelessly dragged Miaoyin into the room.
Now, Miaoyin was afraid that she would laugh at herself for a long time because of this.
Seeing that his eye threats were ineffective, Yun Zheng could not help but glare at Miaoyin fiercely: "Wait and see how I'll deal with you tonight!"
"Your Highness, I was wrong." Miaoyin responded in a delicate voice, but she continued to laugh.
Yun Zheng was furious, and he pulled Miaoyin into his arms and started to use his sexual skills.
Miaoyin slapped Yun Zheng's paw shyly, "Your paw will be chopped off sooner or later!"
"that is!"
Ye Zi nodded in agreement.
The next moment, Ye Zi regretted having spoken too much.
Yun Zheng pulled Ye Zi into his arms again, hugging one on the left and one on the right, just like a playboy.
The three of them laughed and joked all the way and finally arrived at Mayi.
After entering the city, Yun Zheng finally calmed down.
Yun Zheng lifted the curtain and looked outside the carriage for a while, then lowered the curtain and looked at Ye Zi with some surprise, "It seems that there are a lot more merchants in Mayi!"
In just a short while, he saw several waves of merchants.
The streets of Mayi, which were originally quite spacious, seemed to have become a little crowded.
"Isn't it?"
Ye Zi smiled and said, "Everyone knows that Shuobei is at war and all kinds of supplies are in short supply. We never steal the goods of these merchants. Many merchants are willing to transport goods from the interior to sell, and then buy goods from Shuobei and bring them back to the interior to sell..."
Mayi is the material transit station for the entire Shuobei area.
Under Yun Zheng's strict requirements, the business environment in Mayi is very good.
The increase in the number of merchants coming and going further promoted the development of Mayi.
Although Dingbei is the administrative center of Shuobei, Mayi is undoubtedly the most prosperous city in Shuobei.
"That's it!"
Yun Zheng showed satisfaction on his face, "If every city in Shuobei could be like Mayi, the people of Shuobei would be able to live and work in peace and contentment!"
Developing business is undoubtedly a shortcut to rapid development of a city.
From now on, the specialties from the Northwest Protectorate can also enter Shuobei.
However, not everything can be placed in Mayi for resale.
We should also give other cities some opportunities.
The longer these merchants stay in Shuobei, the more beneficial it will be for Shuobei's economic development.
Suddenly, a sentence came to Yun Zheng’s mind.
Optimize industrial layout!
We can take advantage of this winter to plan the industries in each city.
It would be best if every city had a pillar industry, allowing these merchants to enter more cities in Shuobei, thereby driving the development of more cities.
Just as Yun Zheng was thinking silently, the carriage suddenly stopped.
Ye Zi lifted the curtain and was about to ask what was going on when Shen Kuan came over to report: "Madam Zi, someone has blocked the road ahead. I have sent someone to check the situation."
"Yeah, okay."
Ye Zi nodded slightly, and reminded Shen Kuan: "You are now the commander of His Highness's personal guards, so you should call yourself a junior general, and stop calling yourself a villain."
Chen Kuan smiled awkwardly, "I'll...I'll remember it."
Ye Zi smiled and slowly lowered the curtain.
After a while, Shen Kuan came to report again.
The road ahead was blocked because a group of merchants had a dispute.
It is understood that some grain merchants wanted to sell grain at a low price, but other grain merchants stopped them and did not allow them to sell grain at a low price and disrupt the market. This led to endless disputes between the two sides and blocked the road ahead.
Listening to Shen Kuan's report, Yun Zheng and Ye Zi couldn't help but smile at each other.
Some grain merchants can’t hold on any longer so soon!
"What should we do? Should we intervene?"
Ye Zi smiled and said, "Those grain merchants don't lower their own prices, nor do they allow others to lower their prices to sell grain. This is a bit too much."
Have you passed?
Yun Zheng smiled.
It’s indeed a bit excessive.
This is just like those self-righteous neighbors in the previous life. They didn’t lower the price of their own houses, and didn’t allow others to lower the price.
Not only do I not feel that I am shameless, I also feel that I am right.
However, from their point of view, what these people do is actually good for them.
Now the grain brought to Shuobei by these large and small grain merchants is not enough.
At least for Yun Zheng and Ye Zi, it was not enough.
If possible, they even hoped that these grain merchants could transport tens of millions of dan of grain to Shuobei.
If we lower the grain price now because of these grain merchants who can no longer hold on, we will definitely not be able to attract more grain merchants to transport more grain to Shuobei.
The more grain is transported to Shuobei, the more severe the drop will be when the grain price collapses!
Yun Zheng thought silently for a while, and immediately ordered Shen Kuan: "First send someone to secretly keep an eye on those grain merchants who want to sell grain at a lower price!"
"yes!"
Shen Kuan went to arrange it immediately.
"Then what?"
Ye Zi asked Yun Zheng: "Are you going to eat their food?"
"Um!"
Yun Zheng nodded, "First, let's order someone to buy the grain from those people at a price slightly lower than the price we offer. In this way, those grain merchants who are unwilling to lower the price will see hope and choose to continue to wait and see..."
The grain merchants now deliver not enough grain!
Only if these grain merchants continue to stay in Shuobei can they attract more grain merchants to transport grain here.
Moreover, these grain merchants and their caravan members all need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate.
If they stay in Mayi for one more day, they can contribute more to Mayi's economy, right?
"You are so mean! It's their bad luck to meet a prince like you!"
Ye Zi teased Yun Zheng, but her eyes were filled with deep love...
