Shen Yanqing received a secret letter from Zhao Jing early in the morning, which was delivered by Black Eagle himself.
This was the first time Black Eagle appeared in front of Shen Yanqing. As a scholar, Shen Yanqing could not detect his skills, but he was very familiar with the people in the city.
Black Eagle and several of his men were eating and drinking in the shop recently. Shen Yanqing noticed it, but he didn't know their identities before, so he only asked Li Biao to pay attention. At this time, Black Eagle revealed his identity, and Shen Yanqing was I know he is the emperor's man.
Shen Yanqing learned that the emperor had sent him to secretly protect himself and his family, and he felt even more grateful to the emperor. He wanted to arrange a place for Black Eagle, but he refused.
Black Eagle said in a deep voice with a cool look on his face.
"I don't need to trouble you about where to stay. It would be nice if the shop in the food court could leave us a place."
They, the secret guards, don't have to worry about a place to live, and now they have something to eat. However, most of them hide in the dark, and they have to avoid people when buying food. By the time they buy it, a lot of the food has already been sold out.
Black Eagle likes duck neck, it's numb and spicy, not to mention very delicious, but because the business in the delicious shop is so good, there is an endless stream of customers. He hasn't grabbed one for two days, and he still feels resentful at this moment. .
Shen Yanqing didn't expect that what he wanted was this. He was unexpected and took it for granted. Now the Zhenjiang government has only taken advantage of this food street. There is no second one in the entire Yan Dynasty. Black Eagle likes it here. Eating is normal.
"Okay, I'll ask my men to make some special signs for a few adults. When buying food, you can go directly in front without queuing."
"Um."
Black Eagle gave him a look that said, "You know what I mean", and left a few words before turning around and walking away.
"The people delivering supplies will arrive tomorrow at the latest. They are all your acquaintances."
"An acquaintance? Who do you think it could be, sir?"
Jiang Miao had a look of doubt on her face after listening to Shen Yanqing's narration.
They didn't know many people in the court, and the only ones they were familiar with were the Xu family brothers and sisters, so Jiang Miao had a candidate in mind as soon as she thought about it.
"Is it Xu Langjun?"
Shen Yanqing and Jiang Miao had the same idea, and he nodded in response.
"It's probably Brother Xu."
"I asked people to clear out the vacant rooms. It must have been hard for Xu Langjun to travel all the way to deliver supplies, and the people who came with him had to be settled. It would be great if all the inns in the city were still open, so we could just let them settle in. …”
Jiang Miao ordered Liang Duo while complaining to Shen Yanqing.
Liang Duo carefully wrote down everything Jiang Miao ordered. When he heard her talk about the inn, Liang Duo remembered what happened the day before yesterday.
"Madam, the shopkeeper Liu of Fulai Inn came to see me the day before yesterday. After the drought, their family moved to nearby Zouxian County. Now that Zhenjiang Prefecture has stabilized, they have moved back. They want to take the inn back and reopen it. I think your lord My wife and I have been busy these days, so I didn’t bother you with this matter. Now that my wife mentioned it, I remembered, do you think we should let him reopen his business?"
Liang Duo feels that Zhenjiang Prefecture is getting better and better now, especially this food street. Many people will definitely come here in the future. It will definitely not work if there is no place to live in the city. Even if shopkeeper Liu doesn't open it, they will have to Find someone to run it.
"Well, since the owner is back, let's return it to him and let him reopen his business."
Shen Yanqing nodded. He hadn't had time to find someone to take over a business like an inn.
"You should count the vacant shops in the city and see if any owners come back to ask for them. If so, return them and the occupied shops will be given to them in silver taels."
"Yes, sir, you are thoughtful."
Although Shopkeeper Liu is the only one who comes to ask for the property now, as Zhenjiang Prefecture becomes more prosperous, more merchants will return to their hometowns. Now they can still ask for their shops back. When all the shops find their owners again, they will only get money.
Liang Duo shook his head. He didn't know whether it was good or bad for these merchants. Although he got money, he lost an opportunity to make money. He believed in the abilities of Shen Yanqing and Jiang Miao. Zhenjiang Prefecture would be revitalized sooner or later. In the future, the economy It might even be possible to catch up with Beijing.
Xu Ziwen was riding a horse and walking slowly. The curtain of the carriage next to him opened a corner, and a young lady with a beautiful face peeked out from inside. Who was that Xu Zilan?
"Not here yet?"
"Why are you so anxious? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have agreed to your coming. There are so many things to do. It was just a waste of time on the road. Otherwise, I would have arrived long ago..."
Xu Ziwen kept mumbling, feeling full of resentment about Xu Zilan's coming.
Xu Zilan was too lazy to listen to his ramblings, so she stretched out her hand, and the boy behind Xu Ziwen rode forward on a horse.
"Xu Ming, tell me, how long does it take to get to Zhenjiang Mansion?"
"If you go back to my wife, it's just ahead."
Xu Ming pointed to the city gate not far away and said. Xu Zilan felt confident. She nodded to him and lowered the curtain. Xu Ziwen came closer, and the curtain almost hit him. Xu Ziwen was so angry that he breathed out of his nose. The sound was louder than the horse beneath him.
"Xu Zilan, you are a burnt-down bridge!"
"And you, who is your master? She just says hello and you run over to her. If you don't want to follow me, get out of here!"
Xu Ming was sprayed bloody, and he smiled flatteringly at Xu Ziwen.
"Master, you will always be my little master. This is not what my wife told me to take good care of my wife when I came with you. How dare I neglect..."
"snort!"
Xu Ming moved out Xu's father and Xu's mother. Xu Ziwen stopped talking. Xu Zilan smiled proudly and wiped her well-maintained hands with a plain white handkerchief. The bright red nails on them were as slender as green onions and as soft as jade.
"Madam, would you like some tea to moisten your throat?"
Caiyun poured a glass of water and handed it to her, but Xu Zilan didn't take it.
"No more. Let's try the milk tea Lady Jiang mentioned later."
Jiang Miao wrote her a letter about what to eat in the food street. Xu Zilan had longed for it, and now she deliberately saved her stomach to wait until she got to the city to eat delicious food.
"Why."
Xu Ziwen also heard the conversation between the two. He specially grabbed this job just to eat delicious food. Now he finally saw the city gate. Xu Ziwen couldn't help but speed up his horse. He seemed to smell the fragrance.
"Xu Ming, take good care of the lady, I will take the first step!"
As he spoke, he whipped up his horse and ignored Xu Zilan's shouting behind him.
Shen Yanqing and Jiang Miao were already waiting at the city gate, and they could see galloping horse hooves and rising dust from a distance.
