Chapter 892: A Big Deal



The two great prime ministers of the Wu Dynasty went to the six states of Beixiao.

The Wu Dynasty's scientific research institute on Liluoyuan also moved to the six states of Beixiao in a mighty manner.

Even the Divine Sword Third Army moved to the Six Prefectures of Beixiao.

Of course, such a major event could not be hidden from the people of the Wu Dynasty, especially the businessman with a keen sense of smell.

These merchants immediately realized that something big had happened in the six states of Beixiao, but they didn't know what it was.

Soon after, news began to spread about His Majesty going to Siyang County, Yuzhou. A few days later, it was heard that the Minister of Revenue, Lord You Xianzhi, had led a group of people to Yuzhou.

Then, I heard that the young masters of the Sima family, the Han family, the Wangsun family, and the Zhongyu family also went to Yuzhou.

Thinking about His Majesty's 15th Five-Year Plan, now only the six states of Beixiao are still quiet. When His Majesty went there in person, the commotion was like a huge stone thrown into a calm lake, and the ripples spread across the entire Wu Dynasty.

These businessmen could no longer sit still. The signal was too obvious. It was obvious that Yuzhou was going to make a big move!

It was a major move led by the emperor himself!

So how big of a business opportunity is this?

As a result, merchants from the entire Wu Dynasty turned their attention to Yuzhou - and now their business layout in the Wu Dynasty has been completed, and their products have been officially sold in the market.

Now that they have some free time, it's time to go to the Six States of Beixiao to make some money.

The roads leading from all over the country to the six states of Beixiao were once sparsely populated, but now they are bustling with traffic - just like when the merchants in the Yu Dynasty heard that Fu Xiaoguan would be in charge of Wofeng Road.

Apart from Yuzhou Governor Luo Binglin and Siyang County Magistrate Jiang Shang, the people who felt this change most deeply were probably the merchants in Siyang City.

The once dying Siyang City has seen an influx of people these days.

The proprietress Yang Hua of Siyang Inn was so happy that she was smiling from ear to ear - His Majesty's dragon energy was indeed extremely strong!

The old man stayed in this inn for one night, and now there are so many guests staying here that today is the first time that the rooms have been sold out so early!

Such a business scene had never happened before, even when traveling merchants often came here.

So, why now?

I haven’t heard of any good business in Siyang County!

Could it be that these people came here just to see the handsome emperor?

"Peddler Wang, please tell me what big event happened in Siyang County?"

"Yang Hua, call me Mr. Wang! I used to be a peddler, but that doesn't mean I'll be one forever!"

Yang Hua swung the handkerchief in her hand and said, "Oh, it's Mr. Wang again. How long have you been away from Siyang County? Have you made a fortune?"

"Hehe!" Mr. Wang stood up, shook off his satin shirt, took a sip of the cold tea, looked at Yang Hua and said with a smile: "Last year I told you to close this shop and go out for a walk, but you didn't believe me. I actually made a little money outside. It's not much, just three hundred taels of silver in a year."

Wang Yuanwai didn't hide the smug look on his face. Especially in the face of Yang Hua's surprised eyes, he felt extremely proud and even puffed out his chest. "Don't believe me? I can't afford a house in Guanyun City right now, but I bought a house in Jinghua Province and started the silk cocoon business."

"I originally thought I would never return to this sad place in my lifetime, but I didn't expect the boss to come to Siyang County, so he asked me to lead the way back to take a look."

Yang Hua was envious. Wang the Peddler used to carry a load on his shoulder, going door to door doing small business. He would have been so happy that he couldn't sleep if he could make ten taels of silver a year. But he hadn't expected that after running away, he had saved up three hundred taels of silver in a year... That was a huge sum!

"Yanghua, open up your shop. The world outside is undergoing tremendous changes. What does Siyang County have to offer? Besides the scorching sun, there's only vast expanses of snow. While opportunities abound, I'll take you to Jinghua Prefecture to start a silkworm cocoon business. You can earn at least a hundred or eighty taels of silver a year."

Yang Hua's heart was pounding, but at that moment, a young man at the next table turned and looked at her. He smiled and said, "Boss, don't listen to him. He's right about making money outside, but he's wrong to have no idea about the changes that are about to take place in Siyang County."

"My dear, I was born and raised in Siyang County. How can I take this fake prosperity seriously? To put it bluntly, as soon as the emperor left, Siyang County was immediately deserted. These people flocked here just to flatter the emperor. Do you really think that Siyang County has a golden baby?"

This young man is Gongsun Ce, whom Yun Xiyan is concerned about!

He came from Wofeng City and was originally going to Guanyun City. On the way, he heard that Fu Xiaoguan was in Siyang County, Beixiao Six Prefectures, so he turned around and came here. He arrived last night.

Although he didn't know what happened in Siyang County, based on his understanding of Fu Xiaoguan, he knew that this place was bound to rise!

So he smiled and said, "This Siyang County may really have a golden child. Why do you think so many merchants are coming here? You can ask your boss. If there weren't huge business opportunities, why would merchants flock here?"

"Madam," Gongsun Ce turned to look at Yang Hua, "your inn's business will continue to prosper in the future. If you don't believe me... just wait and see."

Yang Hua thought about it and felt that what the young man said made sense.

It would be normal if those officials flocked here to flatter the emperor, but now more people coming to Siyang County are businessmen!

There is no need for businessmen to flatter the emperor, they just want to make money!

But what good jobs are there in Siyang County?

Yang Hua still doesn't know.

"That's up to you. At least I made some money out there."

Yang Hua thought for a moment and said to Wang Yuanwai, "It's not very convenient for a woman like me to go out and do things. This inn has been running for many years. It would be a pity to lose it. Why not give it another look?"

At this moment, another businessman walked in, his face covered in sweat but full of joy: "Boss lady, give me a bowl of herbal tea."

"Okay, wait a moment."

"Today, Siyang County issued a notice that the city is going to be expanded. The notice says that it needs to be built to accommodate 200,000 people! The Ministry of Industry is surveying outside the city, and bidding will be held soon... This thing is new, I need to study it further. If I can get a project, it will be worth the trip."

Yang Hua straightened up and widened her eyes: "What did you say?"

Gongsun Ce grinned, it was indeed his work!

Still so familiar, still so kind!

He stood up and left, walking under the scorching sun, looking at the small, dilapidated city filled with yellow sand, thinking that in three years at most, this place would probably become a prosperous city.
