Guo Huaili's caravan returned to Huiye City at the end of June. He came with him a huge Western Region caravan. When he entered the city from Jingmen Pass, the caravan was more than three miles long.&1t;/p>

In the side hall of the house behind the government office, Guo Huaili tilted on the chair, and the table next to it was filled with fruits and melons, grapes, apricots, pears, etc. The juice splashed out from his big mouth and fell on the front panel bit by bit.&1t;/p>

"Xiao Jiang, Lao Guo, I have worked hard for this trip." Guo Huaili introduced his journey in a verbal way. In Tian Wei Kingdom, Guo Huaili's arrival was welcomed by the whole country. Even King Tian Wei had a redemption to see him and asked Gu Taige to entertain him with a banquet for Tian Wei's imperial banquet.&1t;/p>

After receiving the payment, Guo Huaili made a lot of purchases in Heci, the four dragon guards who went there were already two people leaving respectively when they passed by Wen Gu and Hu Kingdom. After arriving at Tian Wei, the remaining two people left from the caravan, and they were about to lurk in the local area. Countless merchants who heard the news found Guo Huaili in the inn, either sold his goods to him, or wanted to take the business line and head to Dazheng.&1t;/p>

Jiang Anyi smiled and handed the fruit to Fatty Guo. Guo Huaili's arrival not only solved the financial difficulties that were too difficult, but also brought him a continuous source of wealth.&1t;/p>

Before the memorial to the court was approved by the Secretariat, Jiang Anyi persuaded Guo Huaili and the Hu merchants who came to set up tents in the empty field in the south of Huiye City to directly display the goods. The taxes collected in three days were as high as more than 57,000 taels of silver, which made Yan Sihu laugh from ear to ear.&1t;/p>

Guo Huaili calculated for Jiang Anyi that if the goods were sold directly in Huiye Mansion, the price could be reduced to 70% or even lower. Dazheng's commercial tax was one of the ten. On the surface, the tax was reduced by 30%, but the turnover of goods accelerated. The previous transaction became three times, which made more profits.&1t;/p>

There was a lot of cheap Western Regions sales of goods in Huiye Mansion, and merchants from far and near were riding fast horses to rush here. In just a few days, many Western Regions merchants who followed Guo Huaili had cleared their goods and rushed back to prepare for another trip.&1t;/p>

I heard that Jiang Anyi was preparing to build a trade market in Huiye Prefecture, Guo Huaili was moved. This trip to Tianwei made the idea of ​​becoming the largest wealthy businessman in Zheng State sprouted again. In the past, the three companies' businesses were prosperous, but they were supported by Jiang Anyi's goods. Without Jiang Anyi's prosperous businesses, they would no longer exist. If they could get a piece of the pie in the Western Regions trade, the three companies' business would be walking on two legs, and they would go faster and farther.&1t;/p>

"Xiao Jiang, I decided not to leave." Guo Huaili said in a shocking way, "I'm going to help you in Huazhou to do some small business nearby. When will that trade market be built?"&1t;/p>

Jiang Anyi was a little moved. Fatty Guo was his best friend. Jiang Anyi knew what he was thinking. When he saw that he had saved money, he couldn't move his legs. But he was not helping him. With him, the financial situation in Huazhou could save him a lot of effort, and he had the spare time to manage the state and improve people's livelihood.&1t;/p>

"No hurry, I have to wait for the court's approval. Brother Guo, please go home and communicate with Uncle Guo and the Yu family. After all, business is the business of three companies."&1t;/p>

Guo Huaili nodded and said, "That's right, I have to bring a group of people here. I want to bring both Hutou Niang and Hutou to Huazhou to avoid both sides of the matter."&1t;/p>

Jiang Anyi felt a little moved, looking at the court's meaning that he would have to stay in Huazhou for a long time. Did he move my mother and Dong'er and the others to avoid the separation of the family and the two places. Then he thought that my mother would definitely not want to leave her hometown, and there would be someone to take care of her family's property. Oh, it would be great if I had a few more brothers.&1t;/p>

Fatty Guo left, and the court's approval came. It was the eunuch in the palace who was proclaimed, and it was an acquaintance. The long-lasting imperial edict was read smoothly from the eunuch Huai'en's mouth. Jiang Anyi heard the four things he had said, and the emperor followed them.&1t;/p>

After hearing the last word "Qin", Jiang Anyi brought all the officials from the state yamen to thank him, and was full of gratitude for the trust of the emperor. Zhang Wenjin watched Jiang Anyi laughing with eunuch Huaien behind him, and secretly lamented in his heart, was he trying to show kindness to governor Jiang, or just find a way to transfer to another place.&1t;/p>

"Mr. Jiang, our family is rushing all the way, I'm a little tired, but Is there a place to rest?" Huai'en threw a wink at Jiang Anyi.&1t;/p>

Jiang Anyi understood that it must be long live to have a secret order for him.&1t;/p>

"My father-in-law, please go to the Houwan for a while." Jiang Anyi did not ask someone to take Huaien to the inn, but directly gave it to the Houwan. Anyway, Xinfei and Siyu went to the Longwei Mansion, An Yong and Shi Tou took their personal guards to the military camp. In addition to the two servants and a group of little girls in the Houwan.&1t;/p>

Jiang Anyi's move made Huai'en feel very warm. The little girls gave him all kinds of fruits. Huai'en tasted everything and smiled and said, "Everyone said that Huazhou is a bitter and cold place, but I didn't expect that the fruits and melons are more delicious than Jiangnan."&1t;/p>

"It's not easy for my father-in-law to come to Huazhou, so you might as well take a few more days off." Jiang Anyi used a small silver knife to cut open a honeydew and handed it to Huai'en, saying, "My father-in-law, the honeydew, isn't so fresh in the Beijing market."&1t;/p>

Honey melon is a unique fruit and melon in Huazhou. It is famous for its sweet taste as sweet as honey and its strong fragrance has lasted for a long time. As early as a thousand years ago, the Great Qi Dynasty was a tribute, and it costs two taels of silver per kilogram in the Yongchang imperial capital. Huai'en tasted it several times in the palace before, and it was a thin piece. It has never been divided into four pieces.&1t;/p>

Take it in your hand and take it. It tastes crisp and refreshing, sweet as honey, and full of fragrance. Huai'en sighed satisfiedly: "It's not in vain to get this delicious food."&1t;/p>

Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "You are only allowed to eat something that costs three cents a day."&1t;/p>

Huai'en opened his mouth in surprise, and the melon meat in his mouth almost fell out of his mouth. He asked incrediblely: "What, three cents a?"&1t;/p>

Jiang Anyi explained that the climate in Huazhou is suitable for honey melon production, with a yield of more than a thousand kilograms per mu. However, honey melons are not easy to preserve after ripening and will be ripe within three to five days, so the local price is very cheap. Huai'en sighed: "Beijing is more expensive than gold, and Huazhou is as cheap as soil. When I go back, I will prepare some for me, so I will eat it all the way."&1t;/p>

The capital of Yongchang is more than 2,000 miles away from Huazhou. The honey melons entered the Xiang Palace picked out the unripe melons, cleaned the ceramic jar, then wiped the inner wall evenly with strong liquor, then wrapped the honey melons with bamboo paper and put them in. Take it lightly and put it on and cannot squeeze it. After filling it, seal it with a thick cotton pad. You can drive the carriage to stay in the night and stay in the cold. Along the way, you must keep the ice water cool and send it to the palace in about ten days. Seventy percent of the ten percent will be good for the emperor and the palace to enjoy.&1t;/p>

As for private vendors, it takes longer than the express train that is not allowed to deliver tribute, and only half of the honey melons are stored. There are many people in Beijing, and the honey melons brought by the water drop in the bucket is not enough for the wealthy businessmen to distribute it, so there will be four or five taels of silver per honey melon.&1t;/p>

The melons were chewed and the grapes were eaten. Huai'en took out a leather box from the bag placed beside him, stood up and said, "Long live the order, please accept the order."&1t;/p>

Jiang Anyi looked familiar. The leather box was specially used for secret press. He immediately fell to the ground and said respectfully: "My minister, Jiang Anyi received the order."&1t;/p>

Huai'en did not open the leather box, but handed the leather box directly to Jiang Anyi's hand. After Jiang Anyi kowtowed, he helped him up and said with a smile: "Sir, Long live the secret order, you can read it slowly. Our family plans to stay in the Huiye Mansion for a few days. If you have any replies, you might as well give it to our family and take it back with you."&1t;/p>

After sending Huaien to the inn, Jiang Anyi opened the honey box with a special key and took out the emperor's secret decree. The so-called secret decree is not like an imperial decree. It is simply written on paper, and there is a thick stack. Jiang Anyi saw the emperor's words and recognized that the dense words were written by the emperor.&1t;/p>

"I know everything Jiang Qing does in Huazhou. I can avoid suspicion and be brave enough to admit things. I highly appreciate it. As long as you have a king and a loyal and patriotic heart, even if you have mistakes, I can tolerate you and will never let you lose your fate. The situation in Huazhou is dangerous, and you will be attacked by thieves shortly after you take office. Although I know you have no major obstacles, I will still worry for you. In the future, I will go to other places. Remember to take your personal guard just in case."&1t;/p>

A few seemingly ordinary words made Jiang Anyi feel soft and tears almost fell out. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued to look down: "I have all approved of the four things you have said. I think you know that the treasury is short of silver. Although I have been sure of the matter of relocating troops, I have to pay the travel expenses of the people who moved the border. I have estimated it for you. It will cost hundreds of thousands of taels, or even more. The four major protectors may open their mouths. You have to look at my face and don't wipe out their face. But I have confidence in you. You are a famous golden hand. I don't think I will disappoint you."&1t;/p>

Shi Fang really made a joke in the secret order, which made Jiang Anyi feel warm in his heart. It was worthwhile to move 50,000 border troops and spend a million taels of silver.&1t;/p>

"The establishment of a border city in Huazhou is very controversial in the court. There are many ministers in the court who oppose it. I understand their thoughts, so I am very angry. I just said that there is no money in the treasury, and there is no way to do anything to help disaster relief, road construction, and preparation for war. Some dilapidated palaces in my palace need to be repaired. I have been talking for seven or eight years and I can't squeeze out the money. You must understand my suffering."&1t;/p>

"In your secret memorial to me, you said that the establishment of a border city can increase taxes of at least 2 million yuan to the court every year. I have to promise you for this money. As for your agreement with Yang Xiangliang, it is your business and him, and it cannot be counted as it is here. Starting next year, I will see that Huazhou will add 2 million taels of taxes every year. If it cannot be done, I will punish you heavily."&1t;/p>

All four things were correct, which shows that the emperor trusted and valued him. Jiang Anyi stood up with passion and bowed to the direction of the capital: "I will never let down my entrustedness."&1t;/p>
