Chapter 272 Visiting the Border Trade Zone
The next morning, Xie Shuangbai took Rong Chi and followed Rong Ye to the border camp.
Their houses in the military dependents area are already complete, so they don't need to take anything.
Xie Shuangbai sighed again, it’s great to have money, you can find a house anywhere and live there whenever you want.
As soon as they got off the carriage, Rong Chi called out, "Brother Yibao!"
Qin Yibao didn't expect to see Rong Chi today, and shouted excitedly:
Qin Yan felt overwhelmed when he heard him call him "Your Highness the Crown Prince" like that.
He hurriedly said, "Call him His Royal Highness!"
Qin Yibao looked at Qin Yan innocently: "Daddy and the teacher asked us to call each other by our names."
Qin Yan: “…”
"Your Highness, you and...the princess are here too." Qin Yan said.
Qin Yan was still a little uncomfortable calling her princess.
It was Rong Yi who reminded him that the prince liked others to call Master Xie "Princess Xie".
Rong Ye: "We'll go to the trade base later, you can come with us."
Mu Ning came out of the house and saw Xie Shuangbai and shouted happily: "Shuangshuang!"
Xie Shuangbai: "..."
Mu Ning ran over and pulled him: "So we are neighbors!"
Xie Shuangbai: "When did you arrive?"
"I'm a little earlier than you. I brought Yibao here today to look around and put everything away."
As they were talking, several more carriages stopped in front of the small building.
It’s Qin Mu, Wang Ge and the others.
Several people saw Rong Ye coming to pay his respects with his family.
"This subordinate greets His Majesty!"
"This common woman greets His Majesty."
Wang Ge looked at the completed building and couldn't stop smiling:
"Your Highness, your private school is really great. Now the little brat at home loves going to school every day, which makes my wife worry less.
Now I have such a nice house to live in. I am very happy. I think working with the prince is a promising future!"
Wang Ge's wife saw that her husband was acting like a fool and kept pulling him by the arm.
"Captain Wang is right. We are so lucky to be with His Majesty. From now on, we will follow His Majesty's lead."
Xie Shuangbai was listening to this from the side, and felt so... awkward.
If someone with ulterior motives heard this, they might think it was a rebellion.
Xie Shuangbai said: "The princes are all working for the court, so everyone should still follow the court's lead."
The man paused, then smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes. I am a rough man who cannot speak. The prince is devoted to the court, so we should also serve the court!"
Rong Ye: "Today, all of this is due to your hard work in killing the barbarians. In the future, you must continue to serve the people and the court wholeheartedly.
Border trade will soon open, and everyone's focus is on mutual trade, do you understand?"
Everyone said in unison: "We understand!"
Rong Ye: "It's a day off today, please do as you please."
"Farewell, Your Majesty."
As soon as Rong Ye and Xie Shuangbai left, Wang Ge's wife quietly asked, "Is the man next to the prince just now... the princess?"
Wang Ge turned around and glared at her: "Why are you asking this?"
Wang Ge's wife said unhappily, "It's no use asking! Our son is studying in the palace. I just heard you say that knowing yourself and knowing your enemy is important."
Wang Ge laughed and said, "It's not a war, why bother with so much trouble? Just let my son go to school!"
Wang Ge's wife said angrily, "I really don't know how you became a captain!"
Wang Ge immediately became anxious: "I fought the barbarians in real combat, why are you still doubting me?"
Wang Ge’s wife was too lazy to talk to him. Her husband sometimes looked smart, and sometimes looked very stupid.
She pulled Wang Ge up and said, "Let's go home and clean up the house!"
Mu Ning and Xie Shuangbai were chatting happily here.
"After we have decided on Mu Ning, we can also finalize the milk tea shop matter."
Mu Ning smiled and said, "Okay!"
Xie Shuangbai and Mu Ning walked very close to each other, almost holding hands.
Rong Ye followed the two of them holding Rong Chi with a resentful look on his face.
Qin Yan brought Qin Yibao with him. He saw that the prince's face was so dark that he couldn't bear to look at it. He swallowed his saliva in embarrassment.
When he gets home, he has to talk to Mu Ning and tell her to keep her distance from the princess!
Zhao Dunzi saw Xie Shuangbai shouting at him from a distance: "Little brother!"
Qin Yan was startled again: My goodness, these people are all jumping around the prince's bottom line!
Zhao Dunzi ran over and saw Rong Ye was there, so he quickly saluted.
Qin Yan has been the supervisor during this period, so he is naturally familiar with Zhao Dunzi.
"Your Majesty, General Qin!"
"How's the project going?"
"The house is almost finished, now all that's left is paving the road."
Rongye: "You've worked hard."
Xie Shuangbai: "Brother Zhao, we are going to the border trade base. You can come with us. I want to talk to you about the decoration."
Several people got on the carriage and headed to the base.
The journey was smooth all the way. Xie Shuangbai only found out that it was a cement road when he got off the car.
The trading area is not complicated and is similar to a modern vegetable market.
There are stalls inside, each of which is very large and can accommodate hundreds of merchants.
This way, you don’t have to worry about the goods getting wet when it rains or snows, and you can just cover them with oilcloth.
"Yes, Brother Zhao, you are really good at building houses!"
Zhao Dunzi felt embarrassed by the praise and smiled foolishly.
Then they went to see the inn.
Merchants traveling back and forth always need a place to stay, so Xie Shuangbai suggested that the inn should be built big.
He looked at the three-story inn and nodded with satisfaction.
There are two rows of shops next to it. This is also what Xie Shuangbai meant.
There will be so much traffic here in the future, I would be sorry if I didn’t sell anything.
"Shuangshuang, are these two rows of shops all ours?"
"We have to leave a few rooms for investment, we can't take them all!"
"Then leave one row for us. It would be great to open a mutton soup shop here!"
Xie Shuangbai: "I thought so too, so I've already written a letter and arranged for someone to come."
"Shuangshuang, we are so connected. Otherwise, you would say you understand me!"
Rong Ye and Qin Yan: "..."
Xie Shuangbai pulled Zhao Dunzi and said, "Brother Zhao, I'll give you the blueprints for this row of shops when I get back. You should quickly decorate them."
"I also have an idea for the inn. Find more people and try to finish it quickly."
"Okay, I'll arrange someone when I get back."
"Brother Zhao, I trust you to do the job. If you need anything, please ask General Qin. He will assist you."
Qin Yan: "Yes, Brother Zhao can come to me if you have any questions."
"That's all right, I'll do it for you!"
Rong Ye asked: "Qin Yan, what time will Batali arrive tomorrow?"
"Your Highness, I have an appointment with him to visit the border trade area tomorrow at 9:00 PM."
Xie Shuangbai said, "How did you arrange lunch?"
Qin Yan: "This..."
Xie Shuangbai: "Why don't we treat him to hot pot at the banquet hall in the military dependents' area? I'm sure they'll like it since they have strong tastes."
Rong Ye: "That's fine."
After looking around the base, Xie Shuangbai felt that things were becoming more complicated.
He also had to hurry back to draw the map, Zhao Dunzi had to arrange people, and Qin Yan had to arrange a meeting for tomorrow.
Several people rushed back without stopping, and Xie Shuangbai went to see the banquet hall where the distinguished guests would be invited tomorrow.
Xie Shuangbai was afraid that some officials or foreigners would come in the future, so he built another room specifically for entertaining them.
This was his first visit since he came up with the idea.
