There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 1027

[Chapter 1027, Mutual market]

“I didn’t feel it before, but since my mother left, I realized that she really helped me a lot when she was around.”

After a year passed, Daohua felt that she was going to be exhausted and paralyzed.

If the mother-in-law is here, not to mention anything else, helping her look after the three little ones will be a great help to her, not to mention that the mother-in-law can often give her some advice when encountering problems.

Xiao Yeyang personally twisted the hot handkerchief on Daohua, and asked her to wipe her face: “You have worked hard during this time.”

As the head of the palace, she has to maintain the relationship with the capital and receive Xiliang. The female family members beside him also have to take care of the uncle and three children. This job is not as easy as his doing it abroad, and it is exhausting and laborious.

He was able to work hard outside without distractions, thanks to Yiyi who helped him take care of the housework and maintain the relationship with all parties.

Daohua quickly washed up and went to the Nuan Pavilion to check on the child.

Both Daozi and the twins were lying on the kang, covered with their own quilts, and Daozi was telling the two little ones the story of the trouble in the Heavenly Palace.

The twins didn’t know if they could understand. Anyway, they stared at their brother with wide eyes, and babbled from time to time.

Daohua didn’t go in, but looked at the door for a while, told the nanny and maid to take care of it, then went back to the inner room, saw Xiao Yeyang sitting on the bedside flipping a book, and couldn’t help asking: “What have you been reading these days? ”

Xiao Yeyang lifted the warm blanket and let Daohua get on it, and then showed her the book.

“Illustrated Records of the Western Regions!” Daohua   flipped

through it. It was a book introducing the situation of the countries in the Western Regions. “What are you reading this for?”

It’s pretty safe, and the tributes are given in time every year. Xiliang is next to Xiliao, and it’s impossible for the people on both sides not to communicate at all. Do you remember Bamubian Town?”

Daohua nodded.

Xiao Yeyang: “Since Xiliao and Daxia stopped fighting, more and more people went to Bamubian Town to do business. I called Ma Teng to ask, and the annual transaction volume is not a small number.”

“I was just thinking that this kind of transaction cannot be prohibited. In this case, it is better to put the transaction on the bright side, so that skills can promote trade exchanges, and the court can collect taxes.”

Daohua: “So you want to open a mutual market ?”

Xiao Yeyang guessed his purpose immediately when he saw Daohua, took her hand and kissed it: “The one who knows me is Yan Yiyi!”

Daohua squinted at him, withdrew his hand, and put the book Put it under the pillow, and also waded into the bed.

As soon as he lay down, he was hugged by Xiao Yeyang.

Xiao Yeyang is a natural stove. Whenever winter comes, Daohua likes to use him to keep warm, and is happy to lean in his arms and listen to him.

“Xiliang is located in the frontier and affected by the geographical environment, even though high-yielding grain varieties have been fully promoted, the people can only maintain enough food and clothing.

” It still needs to attract more foreign businessmen to do business here.”

“Only when the goods are in circulation, the common people can benefit, and the common people can receive more taxes from the government and build Xiliang better.”

Daohua Looking at Xiao Yeyang with a smile: “If you think it’s good, then do it. Anyway, I support you.”

Seeing Daohua’s eyes shining and looking at him with admiration, Xiao Yeyang’s heart moved, and he bowed his head and kissed him On Chi Chi’s pink cheeks, he continued:

“In the past two years, Xiliang’s official roads have been gradually improved, and the post stations have also been repaired a lot. The security of the territory has also been significantly improved after the bandits were wiped out.”

“Caravan exchanges .” It is more convenient, I think the news of the opening of the exchange market should attract many businessmen.”

Daohua nodded: “BMW, spices, and precious stones in Xiliao are very popular in Daxia, and silk and porcelain in Daxia are also very scarce in Xiliao people. There must be a mutual market. Those that can promote exchanges and development between the two sides.”

Xiao Yeyang nodded: “Other things are fine, horses and tea can only be handled by merchants selected by the imperial court.

” , the mutual market is not easy to open more, I thought about it, and decided to use Bamubian Town as a demonstration first, and add more in the future according to the situation.”

Daohua said silently: “opening the mutual market, anyone who is keen on business opportunities can perceive it It’s profitable, and I’m afraid it will attract a group of people to come here.”

Xiao Yeyang smiled: “What’s the matter, I will discuss with Master Wang and come up with a specific regulation, but anyone who participates in the mutual market must With the government’s permission, and according to the transaction amount, pay a certain amount of tax to the government.”

Seeing Xiao Yeyang’s thoughtfulness, Daohua didn’t say anything, and slowly fell asleep in his arms.

Seeing Daohua’s sleepy face with stretched eyebrows and slightly raised mouth corners, Xiao Yeyang smiled, kissed Daohua’s forehead, pulled the quilt over her, and fell asleep.

At the beginning of February, after Xiao Yeyang visited Bamubian Town with several officials, the brochure about opening a mutual market in Xiliangbian Town was sent to the capital.

The capital, the imperial palace.

After reading Xiao Yeyang’s papers, the emperor summoned the chief assistant Yang Chenghua and several ministers to discuss. After a heated discussion, several ministers felt that the opening of the mutual market would be beneficial to the economic and cultural exchanges between Great Xia and the countries of the Western Regions. Agreed to the proposal.

The emperor also agreed in his heart, and discussed the matter of the mutual market in the early court the next day.

As soon as the news came out, the civil and military officials once again had heated discussions, with some in favor and some against.

The eldest princes were silent, and they all knew that since the emperor had mentioned this in the early court, the matter had probably already been settled, and there was no intention to talk about it.

At this moment, several people are thinking about whether this matter can benefit themselves.

Obviously, mutual market transactions must be profitable.

The eldest prince felt very depressed when he thought that An’s family had left Xiliang, and he had no manpower in Xiliang.

Thinking about how Xiao Yeyang’s mother directly confronted An’s family after returning to Beijing, and made An’s family unable to step down in public several times, gave her a dull headache.

People like Prince Ping, Mrs. Guo, and Xiao Yeyang don’t think much of him!

While the eldest prince was still thinking about these bad things, the emperor announced that he agreed to open a trade market in Xiliang.

Some aristocratic families saw the benefits in the mutual market and wanted to take over the job. Unfortunately, the emperor didn’t intend to appoint officials to take charge of it, so it was tacitly let Xiao Yeyang handle it entirely.

Although he didn’t receive any errands, the news that Xiliang was going to start a mutual market spread very quickly after the court was over.

Aristocratic families and officials have businessmen who support them. Obviously, they all want to get a share of the mutual market.

Xiao Yeyang knew that the emperor would probably agree. Before the imperial decree was issued, he asked Master Wang and several officials to formulate the rules and regulations of the mutual market, and sent craftsmen to expand Bamubian Town and re-plan it. I went to the border town.

Before entering March, the first batch of businessmen who heard the news poured into Xiliang.
