"Waiter, old style, here are some dishes to go with the wine!"

Qin Shubao poured himself a cup of tea and paid homage to Zhang Liang, who was also an envoy not far away.

The latter responded in return, and the two stopped communicating.

Qin Shubao stuck his head out of the second-floor window. There were only people coming and going downstairs.

The crazy scene of the money-spreading servant happened several days ago.

On the contrary, Qin and Zhang liked to come to the inn for a meal in the afternoon.

"Sir, your food and wine are ready."

Qin Shubao came to his senses and just picked up the chopsticks, but felt something was wrong.

He quickly stopped the waiter and pointed to a steaming plate of scones in the middle of the table.

"Wait a minute, man, I didn't order this!"

"Sir, these are the sesame cakes provided by our store."

The clerk turned around with a smile and explained to Qin Shubao.

"This stuff tastes very good. It's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It can be used as a staple food, a side dish, or even as a drink."

Qin Shubao observed it.

It just feels crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I seem to have heard the words somewhere.

Suddenly, he was shocked.

Isn't this what I saw that day, what I said to the man selling sesame seed cakes who wanted to invest in the money?

I remember what that person said, he wanted 300 taels of silver to buy some things, teach his apprentices, and 300 taels of silver to invest in a sesame cake stall. Did such an outrageous thing really happen?

"This sesame cake is..." Qin Shubao wanted to confirm again.

Maybe because there were so many people asking, the clerk answered fluently.

"Sir, you don't know something. These are the sesame cakes made by Dalang from the Wu family in the city. Not only the sesame cakes, but also the chopsticks in your hands and the lanterns hanging at our door are all certified by the Ministry of Household Affairs and paid for by the Ministry of Household Affairs."

"Certification from the Ministry of Household Affairs..."

Qin Shubao's mouth twitched.

He knew the reason. Strictly speaking, this was indeed a product from the Household Department, but the name of the Household Department was too...too cheap.

"Thank you, man. You can go greet other guests."

After Qin Shubao finished speaking, he picked up the bowl and started eating.

He ate this meal quickly, slapped the money on the table, and Qin Shubao left without looking back. He was eager to visit the capital again.

I didn't pay attention in the past, but after walking around the capital again today, Qin Shubao felt that the capital of Daxia had undergone earth-shaking changes compared to when he came here.

This change does not mean that there is any renovation of the old street.

It's about the details and every aspect of people's lives in Daxia.

Most of the lanterns hanging outside the inns are from two or three companies. The paper bags at the snack stalls are no longer simple oil paper, but are uniformly printed with simple patterns, which looks very interesting. Even the paper fans held by passers-by on the road are worn on their wrists.

Although there are many styles of bead strings, it can be seen that they are sold in certain shops.

"This, this is simply..."

After watching it all afternoon, Qin Shubao was deeply shocked.

The investment of the Daxia Household Department is already related to every aspect of the lives of the people of Daxia.

I won’t mention how much money the Ministry of Household Affairs will receive during this period, but it is indeed doing practical things and improving people’s lives.

"Is this still Daxia?"

Qin Shubao murmured.

When Emperor Xuan of Xia was in power, he also came to Daxia. Although Daxia was powerful at that time, it was far from this vibrant scene, and the common people were still common people.

"No, this matter must be reported to the Holy One!"

Qin Shubao hurried back to his residence, unfolded a letter, and wrote down what he saw and heard on the paper.

Not far from Qin Shubao's residence, Zhang Liang dried the ink and folded the letter paper into the envelope.

"Is there something wrong with this Shen Wansan?"

Zhang Liang thought far more than Qin Shubao.

The latter only saw the prosperity of Daxia, but did not consider why so many ridiculous investments were successful and changed the lives of the people of Daxia.

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Liang couldn't think of a reason.

"Forget it, maybe God is really blessing Xia Dynasty, otherwise it will be great."

He shook his head and said, preparing to leave this matter to the Han Prime Minister Xiao He to worry about.

…

Daxia developed steadily.

The two sides in the Jiangnan confrontation are firmly on Mount Tai.

Outside the Yangzhou camp, Huo Qubing had been hiding in the mountains for four or five days.

Huo Qubing was hiding among the canopy of a dense tree, using a telescope to look at Yangzhou City in the distance.

He seemed to see something and raised his eyebrows.

"Dahu, I have a task for you." Huo Qubing suddenly said.

"Master Hou, tell me!"

Under the tree, the big tiger was on alert and raised his head when he heard the sound.

"Tomorrow, find some brothers and go into Yangzhou City to find out how many Yangzhou defenders there are."

"Inspection?"

Dahu scratched his head and said: "Master Hou, Yangzhou City has been closed down. How do you want me to get in?"

"Don't worry about that."

Huo Qubing stood on the tree, lowered his head and smiled mysteriously at Dahu.

"Didn't we kill a few Zhao Jun scouts on the road? Tomorrow you can wear those people's clothes and pretend that they are the scouts who were attacked on the road."

"Okay, just listen to Mr. Hou."

Big Tiger Road.

The ambush outside Yangzhou City was ordered by Commander Wei. Even his own Lord Marquis did not complain. Dahu was too embarrassed to complain, but he still felt a little bored. Now that he finally had a mission, Dahu rubbed his hands in excitement and looked forward to it.

The next day, on the Yangzhou City Tower.

Several Yangzhou defenders standing guard were drowsy in the sun.

"Hey, what do you think that is?"

Someone shouted, which immediately woke up several defenders.

Several people took a closer look and saw three yellow smoke dragons rushing from the avenue.

"So, it seems he is one of ours?"

"Hurry and report to the general!"

A soldier quickly ran down the tower and came to the military camp.

After a while, Han Gu, the general who was staying in Yangzhou to defend the city, came to the city wall.

"He's one of ours."

Han Gu nodded and said: "Get ready to put down the hanging basket and pull it up when they come over."

"General, you can't."

The counselors who followed Han Gu to defend the city immediately stopped him.

"General, what if these three people are disguised as enemy troops?"

"Xia Jun is pretending?"

Han Gu sneered.

"It's just three people. Even if they are pretending, what can they do? They can still defeat the generals and seize the city!"

"this……"

The counselor was speechless.

Han Gu snorted coldly and ordered: "When those scouts enter the city, bring them to see me."

After he finished speaking, he didn't even look back to the city.

The three escaping scouts were naturally Dahu and two Xia army cavalry.
