As a tributary of the Yuan River, Youshui River is the largest river in Xiushan Prefecture. After it is opened, the river surface has reached dozens of meters wide, which is enough for several large ships to pass by side.

Standing on the dock of Xiushan Mansion, Liu Mingqi smiled and said to Jiang Hu beside him: "Brother Hu, look at the dock of Xiushan Mansion, isn't this dock of Xiushan Mansion more spacious than many along the Grand Canal?"

"Yes."

Jiang Hu said: "I didn't come here in person, I really don't know that there is such a good wharf in this remote mountainous land."

"Xiushan Mansion is endless."

Liu Mingqi smiled and pointed to the Fucheng in the distance and said, "This is the top five wealthy Fucheng in Sichuan. If you want to pay taxes, they are second only to Chengdu and Chongqing, ranking third."

"ah?"

Jiang Hu was surprised, "Such a small mansion is just behind Chengdu and Chongqing? Is the tung oil business so profitable?"

No wonder Jiang Hu was surprised. He had been to Chongqing and Chengdu.

These two cities, known as the twin heroes of the southwest, not only accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, but also have developed industry and commerce. Half of the Tianfu Kingdom in Sichuan comes from them.

As a result, this unknown Xiushan Mansion is second only to these two. Doesn’t that mean they are richer than Guiyang?

His guess is really right.

Guizhou's poverty ranks second to last in the world, and the first is Xikang, which hardly produces things.

Only in the future can Guiyang enjoy the top three positions in the northwest grassland, Qiyan Plateau, and Tubo.

"You have to watch this trip carefully. Xiushan Mansion is richer than you think."

Liu Mingqi was talking to Jiang Hu with a smile, and suddenly she saw a gust of smoke and dust rolling in front of her, but carriages were running towards her.

He turned his head again and said to Xi Kan, who had not spoken, "Old Xi, your embroidered wardrobe guards are really dissatisfied. No wonder Governor Gao is so annoyed... Look, someone greeted us as soon as we came. They are so enthusiastic!"

Xi Kan still had a cold face and bowed her waist and said, "The official understands."

This time Liu Mingqi and the others came here, and only informed the embroidered guards here in advance.

As a result, a group of people rushed over as soon as they arrived at the dock. Isn’t this a secret leak from the embroidered ward?

Without Liu Mingqi being angry, Xi Kan sentenced the embroidered ward flag to the chief flag of the embroidered ward.

I sent you to the place, and I sent you to monitor the place, not to make friends!

When Xidandunzhu saw a convoy of horses and cars coming in front, he didn't care who was coming, he directly commanded a group of brothers to run thirty meters away, drew out a steel knife in his hand, and formed a combat formation.

These people experienced the death battle in the Western Regions. As soon as this formation was set out, it immediately showed an inexplicable murderous aura.

When the carriage drivers saw this, they were so scared that they hurriedly stopped the horse and stopped the car.

After a while, a group of people wearing official uniforms and gorgeous clothes came out of the carriage, Chi San, who followed Xidan Dunzhu, said a few words, and the guards made a way out and let them come over.

Yes, yes.

The Saner General Manager, who had been in his house for a year last year, heard that his highness was about to come out again this time, so he was so arrogant that he wanted to follow him.

Chi San's loyalty is no less than that of Dazhu, but he is weak in physique, so he didn't bring him with him in several wars.

He also managed the workshops and factories of Prince Yu's Mansion in an orderly manner and was an indispensable assistant to his mother.

Thanks to Liu Mingqi's wives, he wouldn't be able to come out this time.

Before he arrived, a few middle-aged men clasped their fists and bowed to the end: "The Xiaguan (Caomin) pays homage to His Highness Prince De! May Your Highness be a thousand years old and be happy and healthy!"

Liu Mingqi smiled and waved her hand, "Get up, get up... I just came out to have fun, you don't have to make such a big fuss... By the way, who is the leader of the embroidered yarn guard?"

A tall and tall man quickly stood up: "Dong Jian, the chief banner of the embroidered yarn, have seen His Highness!"

"Well, you're very good." Liu Mingqi smiled brightly, "Come on, behead me!"

"ah!?"

Dong Jian was startled, and he shivered all over, unable to believe what he heard.

But as he saw Suo Xuan drew out a knife and walked towards him.

Dong Jian was so desperate that his first reaction was to escape.

But there were Liu Mingqi's guards around him. He did not lead troops, and he was useless to lead troops. He really became a lamb to be slaughtered.

He had no choice but to kneel down with a "thump": "Your Highness! Your Highness! I...I did not make any mistakes! Please spare me...ah...free me!!"

Seeing that Suo Xuan had arrived, he was frightened.

It was not just Dong Jian, but the groups of officials and gentry present were originally smiling, but suddenly they encountered such a huge change, and their faces were frozen.

At the same time, many people were trembling.

All scared.

Suo Xuan ignored Dong Jian's begging for mercy, and he stepped forward and waved his knife.

"ah……"

"Wait a minute!"

At the critical moment, Liu Mingqi stopped Suo Xuan.

Suo Xuan's sword stopped ten centimeters in front of Dong Jian's forehead.

This is also thanks to Suo Xuan's practice of hand and foot skills, otherwise this position would be really hard to stop.

But Dong Jian was already scared to death.

He fell directly to the ground, his body twitching constantly, as if he had been really cut to death.

Don't doubt it.

The person who was hacked will not stop moving at the first time, but will twitch for a while before stopping.

Seeing such a crazy scene, the atmosphere of laughter just now disappeared.

The scene was deserted and even a little scary.

At this time, everyone looked at Liu Mingqi's smiling face again and no longer felt that he was amiable.

"Ha ha!"

Liu Mingqi laughed out loud and said to Xi Kan: "Personnel Xi, look, your embroidered guards are so weak, it's really boring!"

Xi Kan said with a smile on his face: "Your Highness has taught me a lesson. I will definitely discipline him well after I go back and don't let him be embarrassed again."

As he said that, he clapped his hands, "Come on, take this idiot aside!"

"yes!"

Several embroidered wardrobe guards dragged Dong Jian away.

Without the crazy scene just now, it seems that the situation is similar to what happened just now, but it is actually different.

Even if Liu Mingqi was so polite and gentle afterwards, these officials and gentry were still trembling and afraid of saying a wrong word.

In such an awkward atmosphere, Liu Mingqi and they got on the carriage and entered Xiushan Mansion.

After sending Liu Mingqi to the best inn to settle down, the officials and gentry were sent out by Liu Mingqi on the grounds that he "needed to rest."

But they did not disperse, but gathered together in a large manor for a meeting.

"Tell me!"

Tang Youbao, the governor of Xiushan Prefecture, drank tea and said calmly, "Tell me who our prince is, what he is doing here, and what will he do?"

"Do you have to say more?" Tongzong Chen Guang frowned and said, "It must be for the price increase of tung oil this year! His concubine Chen Xiaowei, isn't he in the canal transportation yamen shipyard now? When the price of tung oil increases, the four-masted sailboat he purchased will increase the price, which is a slap in the face!"

"right!"

Shen Zhongju, the garrison commander of Xiushan Prefecture, also said: "I told you not to be so cruel, not so cruel! At least you have considered Miao Yan to increase the price a little less... Now, right? Miao Yan doesn't come out, Prince De is here in person!"

"So what if King De comes?" Zhang Wancai muttered: "It's right that he is the prince, but he can't act recklessly! Taizu has an order, and he cannot participate in any court affairs and military affairs! This commercial matter has nothing to do with him!"

"Yes." Zheng Xuming followed: "Our Xiushan Tung Oil Chamber of Commerce is a serious chamber of commerce. Our price increase is a commercial act. If he dares to kill people like this, wouldn't the world be in chaos? Who is not afraid of this violent person!"

"presumptuous!"

Tang Youbao frowned and scolded: "Don't slander the prince of the Empire, otherwise if it is spread, you will be the first to die!"

Zheng Xuming also said it smoothly, and his face changed drastically when he heard this.

At this moment, he remembered Dong Jian, the commander of the embroidered ward who showed off his power on weekdays but was scared like a dog today.

Zhang Wancai is the president of Xiushan Tung Oil Chamber of Commerce, and Zheng Xuming is the vice president. Both of them have many hills and fields full of tung trees, and are the top two super rich people in Xiushan Mansion.

While afraid, Zheng Xuming was also muttering in his heart.

I said this price increase, but so much price increase is decided by you officials!

Now there is a big problem. The court sent a prince to deal with it, but you look like you are not in your own affairs. Are you still considered human?

Zhang Wancai was more courageous. He said at this time: "It's useless to care about those things now. Let's discuss whether to surrender or just stand up?"

Shen Zhongju smiled angrily: "Hard? Ten thousand guards who are not enough for you to kill King De! Didn't you see it today? His guards had Tubo people, just follow him to kill the Western Regions, horse bandits, and the group of wild beasts in the Persian army! If you want to die, don't pull me!

I'm leaving the words here. No matter who is here, who dares to have any bad intentions, it's better to put them away for me, otherwise our garrison will be the first to kill his whole family! You want to die, don't implicate everyone!"

The prefect Tang Youbao's face suddenly became a little unhesitant.

Obviously, Shin Zhongju was also warning him.

Although he was the prefect and managed all the officials below, Shen Zhongju was different. He was a military marquis who came down from Xiong Quwei and had many connections.

If you really don’t give him face, you won’t give it.

Of course, he naturally always wanted to go to extremes.

In such a treasure land as Xiushan Mansion, as long as you work hard and steadily, you can earn a rich fortune in three to five years, and you will have sufficient guarantees for your family to retire in the future.
