Li Feng searched carefully in his mind, but he did not think of who this He Jinse was.

Liu Ji reminded from the side: "Qiansui, this He Jinse is the head of the third largest grain merchant in Youzhou!"

Li Feng frowned slightly when he heard this: "Isn't the third largest grain merchant's surname Zhang?"

Liu Ji quickly explained: "Qiansui didn't know something. The third largest grain merchant was indeed named Zhang, but their head passed away six months ago. Mr. Zhang remarried He Jinse a month before his death and handed over all the Zhang family's business.

He married her, so although this third family’s surname is Zhang, the actual person in charge is her!”

Li Feng nodded when he heard this: "I was just thinking about going to Zhang's house for a walk, but I didn't expect that she walked to the door by herself. Let her come over!"

The guards retreated to both sides to make way.

He Jinse, dressed in coarse linen clothes, came to Li Feng and said: "He Jinse, a commoner woman, wishes to see that the king is a thousand years old!"

Looking at He Jinse who was kneeling on the ground, Li Feng's pupils shrank a little.

Although He Jinse was only wearing burlap clothes, he still couldn't conceal his charm. With a curvy figure and skin that could be broken by blows, she was a peerless beauty who was only in her twenties.

He Jinse felt Li Feng's gaze and quickly lowered his head.

Li Feng coughed twice and said, "He Jinse, you are very well-informed!"

He Jinse was neither humble nor arrogant: "Thousands of years old have purged the grain market in Youzhou. This matter has been known to all women and children. The women of the country are here to express their gratitude to Qiantose."

Li Feng nodded and said: "I am here incognito for a private visit. You don't have to be restrained. You can all get up and talk!"

"Thank you Chitose for your grace!"

He Jinse stood up from the ground, her slim figure outlined by her clothes.

When Li Feng saw it, he secretly praised him and asked, "He Jinse, what are your intentions in asking for a meeting today?"

He Jinse: "When there is a disaster in Youzhou and the people are suffering, the women are willing to donate all their family assets to buy food and rice to help the victims and share the worries of the prince!"

Li Feng sneered and said: "Businessmen value profits. This has been the case since ancient times. In name, you want to share my worries, but in fact you still have other intentions, right?"

He Jinse was straightforward: "Yes, the woman has only one request. I hope the prince will allow our Zhang family to mine iron ore!"

Hearing this, Liu Ji became furious: "He Jinse, you are so brave! Iron ore is a national reserve, why do you want to get involved?"

"The imperial government's restriction on private mining is simply because it is worried that the ore will flow into the private sector and cause chaos in the local area. I can guarantee that the Zhang family will only cooperate with the government and will never allow the ore to flow into the private sector. And doesn't the prince want to hear the conditions of our Zhang family?"

Facing Liu Ji's rebuke, He Jinse showed no fear, and her tough attitude also aroused Li Feng's interest: "What are the conditions of your Zhang family?"

"Although we are not as wealthy as the Liu and Li families, our Zhang family also has two million taels of cash, which can solve your urgent need."

"In addition, our Zhang family still has 10,000 kilograms of old rice, which can help you appease the people outside the city!"

Having said this, He Jinse raised his head and looked at Li Feng.

Seeing that Li Feng still frowned, He Jinse gritted his teeth and said: "We can turn over 30% of the mining profits, and taxes will be calculated separately!"

"The king has ordered an increase in taxes on merchants. How can you make a profit after making such a big sacrifice?"

"You don't have to worry about this matter, Jinse will make his own decision. If the prince doesn't agree, my Zhang family will not provide food for disaster relief!"

"Are you threatening me?"

Li Feng frowned slightly, slightly dissatisfied.

"A civilian woman doesn't dare. It's just that there are dozens of people in the Zhang family who need to eat. After all, Jinse is just a foreigner. If all the benefits are really given away, then I, the head of the family, will probably die!"

"Aren't you afraid that the Zhang family will follow in the footsteps of the Liu and Li families?"

"My lord, you won't, because Youzhou cannot be without grain merchants forever. You should know that the people of Youzhou alone cannot be self-sufficient in food. Moreover, these old rice were purchased by the Zhang family at market prices, and there is absolutely no price reduction.

Even if the prince wants to punish you for the forced purchase, you will not do it without aim!"

He Jinse answered fluently and spoke forcefully. It was obvious that he had long wanted to use food as a bargaining chip in negotiations.

Liu Ji on the side was already sweating for her. After today, he was afraid that the three major grain merchants would cease to exist.

Although He Jinse's move was rebellious, Li Feng didn't mind. For him, the top priority now was to replenish the treasury and provide food for disaster relief. If someone could do it, he wouldn't mind giving him some benefits.

Li Feng saw He Jinse's calmness and knew that this was her last line. He nodded and said: "Okay, I agree to your request for the time being. You can follow me back to the palace to get the mining approval document!"

The Daqian Empire was founded by an uprising. In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, the Emperor of Daqian strictly prohibited the people from mining after the founding of the country to avoid the occurrence of the previous dynasty.

However, Li Feng had already established a vassal in Youzhou, and all the regulations here were personally controlled by him, including the appointment and dismissal of some lower-ranking officials.

Because of this, Li Feng could directly agree without asking for instructions.

Although such small matters could be handled directly by Liu Ji, after all, this involved 30% of the profits from the mining, so Li Feng decided to do it himself.

He Jinse perked up after hearing this: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Let's go!" Li Feng waved the crowd away and walked straight to the street.

He Jinse was stunned for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, aren't you taking the car?"

Li Feng: "I am going on patrol incognito, without a driver!"

Hearing this, He Jinse hesitated slightly: "In that case, then you can take my car!"

A spacious carriage was parked on the street not far away, and several people accompanying it were still stopping to watch.

This place is more than ten miles away from the palace. For Li Feng, who was born as a soldier, this distance is nothing, but seeing that it is getting late, Li Feng does not want to waste any more time.

"In that case, please Madam, please sit with me!"

Before Li Feng finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from the crowd: "It seems unreasonable for the head of the family to sit with you, right?"

The person who spoke was wearing short clothes and was leading the Zhang family's carriage.

It's just that this man is about thirty years old, has a strong body, and the momentum he exudes when he moves his hands and feet is far beyond what ordinary people can compare to.

This man is a master!

However, Li Feng didn't care whether he was a master or not. The personal guards around him were all royal masters.

Before this person even got close, the sharp knife was already pressed against his chest.

"Who are you to dare to question this king?"

"I am the Zhang family's coachman!"

This man said he was a coachman, but he looked at He Jinse with very hot eyes.

Li Feng knew at a glance that the relationship between this man and He Jinse was probably not simple.

Li Feng said coldly: "It is getting late now, and it will take time to get the approval to return to the palace. You said that it is not appropriate for me to ride in the same car with my wife. Do you mean that you want me to walk back to the palace?"

Although the man was angry, he didn't dare to get angry. He could only whisper: "The common people don't dare!"

"It's okay if you don't dare, remember your identity!"

Li Feng snorted coldly and got on the carriage with He Jinse.

The coachman gritted his teeth secretly, but there was nothing he could do.

As soon as he got on the carriage, Li Feng couldn't help but admire: "The Zhang family is indeed a wealthy businessman in Youzhou. Even the carriage is so finely crafted!"

The curtains of this carriage are woven with velvet, and there are tassels hanging from the bottom, which are very delicate.

The interior of the car is covered with white fox fur, with a tea table in the middle and a wide couch on the innermost side.

This wide couch not only allows two people to sit together, but can even lie down and rest.

In addition, the four corners of the car are even inlaid with pearls, which shine brightly in the dim carriage.

Riding in the same car as Li Feng, He Jinse was obviously a little embarrassed.

"This carriage was still used by my master during his lifetime. Jinse is obsessed with old friends and has never been replaced..."

As soon as he said this, the car became very quiet.

Although the couch was spacious, as the vehicle bumped, the two of them were still too close. The carriage hit the rocks and suddenly fell to one side. He Jinse didn't react in time and fell directly into Li Feng's arms.

Li Feng subconsciously put his arms around He Jinse and hugged her into his arms. A refreshing fragrance suddenly hit his nostrils.

Most of He Jinse's body was pressed against Li Feng's body, and his tall peaks were also sent into Li Feng's hands.

Facing the beauty's embrace, Li Feng directly smiled and put a big hand around He Jinse's slender waist.

At this moment, a voice suddenly asked from outside the car: "The wheel just hit a stone. Madam, are you okay?"

He Jinse was startled by the voice and quickly responded: "I'm fine, just drive your car and don't scare the holy driver!"

"Madam, your voice sounds wrong to me. Is something wrong?"

"fine……"

Before He Jinse finished speaking, a big hand opened the car curtain. Li Feng, with quick eyes and quick hands, helped He Jinse up immediately and moved his hand to He Jinse's waist. The light in the car was dim, and the two of them were sitting inside, so

The coachman didn't see any clues.

Li Feng's face darkened when his good deeds were interrupted. He Jinse was ashamed and annoyed, and worried that the other party's move would anger Li Feng, so he immediately cursed: "You are so brave, don't you know that the prince is still in the car? No."

Know the rules!”

Seeing that He Jinse was fine, the coachman felt relieved and exited the car.

After drinking away the coachman, she reluctantly held down Li Feng's mischievous hand and whispered: "Why does the prince look down on the untouchable woman?"
