Since the Battle of Shuofang, Shuofang West City has begun to expand, and an inner city containing 5,000 troops gradually took shape. In order to solve the silver vacancy in building this inner defense garrison town, Li Xuansheng thought of the forces of the chamber of commerce that were preparing to enter Lingwu.

If you want to settle in Lingwu and open a shop, you must first take out the appropriate deposit silver, which is called the depositary commercial tax. Only after paying this tax, the Lingwu Office will issue a license. If it is just the depositary commercial tax, most chambers of commerce will not conflict. However, after entering, you must pay the city defense commercial fee, etc.

Although there are many names, there are traces to follow, which makes those chambers of commerce that questioned Lingwu's special commerce speechless. Moreover, the situation of Lingwu has not yet been cleared after the Han and Tang Dynasties. After the combination of many factors, the chamber of commerce that originally planned to settle in Lingwu went to six or seven out of ten.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer chambers of commerce that were coming, Nangong Xian became more and more calm, because this situation was the most satisfactory result. Lingwu was indeed in chaos and the prospects for restoration were unclear, but this was a place that military strategists in all dynasties had to fight for. In the past, people always said that whoever got Hexi would get the channel connecting the Western Regions, but there was another sentence that after that was who got Lingwu would get the place where Hexi Mingmen was located.

To the north of Lingwu, this area can be cultivated and herd, and due to the decrees of the previous Han and Tang dynasties and even the previous dynasties, most of the areas have been abandoned. If they are reclaimed and planted, they can still return to their glorious times.

When the Turks were destroyed, the Northern Hu had slightly damaged its vitality in order to calm the Turks, and many materials in the territory began to be short of them. Lingwu, as the only prefecture bordering the Northern Hu, naturally occupied favorable terrain. As long as it was operated properly, it would be a matter of just getting the silver.

In name, Shuofang Prefecture's investment in foreign countries is actually testing the court's attitude towards this matter. You must know that local prefectures have to win over merchants on such a large scale, and the Ministry of Revenue will only be able to act. This is also the main reason why many business groups are afraid and hesitant.

Needless to say, Zhou Baiwan planned to enter Lingwu from the beginning. Li Xuansheng was not polite, and directly exempted most of the commercial taxes paid by Zhou Baiwan Chamber of Commerce, and even gave him many preferential policies. As soon as the golden sign of the Zhou family in Gusu was released, it immediately attracted merchants who were interested but were still undecided to flock.

In a moment, nearly a thousand merchants gathered in Shuofang City, and the registered chamber of commerce personnel from Shuofang Prefecture came directly to the government office. "What did you say? I heard it right? The prince wants to pay all the salt sales to Zhou million?" Huang Zongxi was a little disbelief that Nangong Xian said, and continued to read the documents and said, "There is also the mine vein that is being dug and forged! What is the prince doing?"

Nangong Xian was scattering aside the pigeons in the feeding courtyard and said, "What else can you do? It is naturally to promote the prosperity of Lingwu! If this stall is set up, someone must come to shout! Zong Xi, you are from the Huang family in Jiangxia at least. I need to explain this little thing to you?"

After a few serious thoughts, Huang Zongxi said, "Will this behave without the permission of the court attract the court's punishment?"

A carrier pigeon flew to Nangong Xian. Nangong Xian reached out and let him stand in his hand, gently stroked the feathers of the carrier pigeon and smiled, "This is to be done for the court! What's more, when the prince comes to Lingwu again, Your Majesty has already delegated power and let the prince adapt to the situation! Otherwise, you think the prince will have the courage to despise the court's laws? To be honest, Lingwu is not only the touchstone for His Majesty to prepare the new policy, but also the brick specially thrown out by the court officials' attitude! The bigger the quarrel, the more exciting it will be in Anjing. If you don't believe it, you'll wait and see!"

Huang Zongxi said with a serious expression, "What you are saying is a little bit reasonable. But why do I feel that I am not confident?"

"Haha! Don't look at the prince who practiced martial arts since he was a child and was decisive in his work. But when did he see him do anything, he had never prepared before? But these preparations are on the road ahead, not on the road ahead!"

Huang Zongxi smiled wickedly, "Well! I agree with this!"

Li Xuansheng and the others were stirring up the storm in Lingwu, but the big men in Anjing couldn't fall asleep one by one. Especially those officials who had gained benefits from Lingwu, they couldn't sleep or eat.

In the royal hunting ground 30 miles south of Anjing, King Li Qing of Luoyang was dabbing with King Li Chongxiao of Lanling.

A guard of the Luoyang Palace galloped on a horse and reported to the Luoyang King that had just been heard from Lingwu. The Luoyang King Li Qing laughed for no reason and scolded, "This bastard boy is really brave to do whatever he wants!"

The Lanling King Li Chongxiao laughed and said, "No matter how you bastard, you are your son! But by the way, Xuan Sheng is doing well compared to the previous governors of Lingwu. At least he is trying to solve his problems!

Otherwise, our Majesty has never made any statement?"

Hearing the movement, Li Qing bent his bow and arrow, and shot a deer that had just come out to find food.

Lanling King Li Chongxiao applauded, "This lunch is a chat!"

"Uncle Huang! This is so hot. Do you still have these thoughts?"

Li Chongxiao asked the guard to drag the deer to the deer, checked it and said, "Oh? This is eating is eating! The government is the government! It's just two things, how can we confuse it?

Xiaoqing! You are getting less and less able to hold on and let go as before!”

Li Chongxiao teased him, Li Qing could only smile awkwardly. It is undeniable that since returning to the court, the King of Luoyang Li Qing has indeed lost his strong edge. Although he is not as strong as before, no one in the court's civil and military affairs will have to think about this King of Hell.

"What? I was called a hit by the emperor? Haha!"

Li Qing just came to his senses, "Look at what the emperor said, I, Li Qing, are the ones who are hard to change in nature. How could I lose my temper after ten years of exile!

If I really change my temperament, then you must nod your head!"

Li Chongxiao smiled knowingly, took out his bow and arrow, and with a "swoosh", a white fox hidden in the grass fell to the ground.

The guards took the dead white fox and Li Chongxiao said in confusion, "Looking at this, it seems like he is raised by a human being!"

Sure enough, not long after, Li Guer came here on a horse and saw the dead white fox in Li Chongxiao's hands. He cried and shouted, "My Xiaobai. My Xiaobai! My little heart! How could you abandon me?"

Li Chongxiao coughed a few times, intending to comfort the little baby. Unexpectedly, Li Guer shouted directly at Li Chongxiao, "Go away! You bad guy! Kill my Xiaobai! Woo woo woo! My poor Xiaobai!"

Li Qing looked serious and scolded, "Guo'er! Why do you talk to the elders? Why don't you apologize quickly!"

Li Guer cried resentfully while wiping her tears, "Apology? It was him who killed my Xiaobai first! It was him who should apologize! Uncle, you are the General Tiance, always obeying the law, and you should be fair and strict!"

Li Chongxiao was so amused by Li Guer's crying, and comforted him, "Okay! It's my fault! How about I be with you a better white fox?"

Li Guer turned his head and looked at Li Chongxiao, "Application? Xiaobai is the one I have raised. Even if you are worth 11,000, you will not be my Xiaobai! Woooooo! My Xiaobai! You are so pitiful!"

Li Chongxiao smiled and said, "That little boy, what do you think I should do?"

Li Guer stopped crying and looked at the Luoyang King Li Qing who shook his head to stop him. Then he knew that the matter should be stopped when he saw the situation was better and said, "The Emperor said just now that I would give me one better! Then I want that one! But I want a pair!"

Li Chongxiao laughed and said, "This is easy to say! That king will give you a pair of blue-eyed white phoenix foxes that are no second pair in Han and Tang dynasties!"
