Extra Story: Snow in Yanbei (7)

When he came back from the market, Zhou Yu had no joy in having fun with the people. He had a gloomy face and remained silent.

Yikuan and Yirong soon discovered something abnormal about their second brother. The two little girls shrank their necks and returned to their yard.

"What's wrong with the second brother? Isn't it because of the few words I said, right?" Yirong asked.

What she said at that time, she said that she liked everything whether the drum was made by the Korean or the Daqi people.

It seems that it is not as angry as the second brother?

Yi Kuan comforted: "Don't worry, my second brother won't be angry with you. He loves us like his sister."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Yirong waved his fist: "If the second brother is really angry with me for this, I will write a letter to tell my sister!"

Yikuan smiled, it’s great. They have people to rely on now, and they are no longer the two pitiful little girls back then.

Soon, the entire palace was covered with dark clouds, and except for the yards of the two princesses, the rest of the place was under depression.

Therefore, when all the officials in Yanbei City were called to the Yin'an Hall of Yanwang Mansion to discuss matters, many people had their calves and trembled.

This young King of Yan was not as simple as he seemed. When he stepped on the Tarpit, blood stained his battle robe red.

In Yanbei and Tatla, there are many legends about the siblings of the King of Yan. Kill one person in ten steps and no one can stay without leaving a thousand miles.

The people of Yanbei believe that these legends are true because they are the children of the Old Yan King, and the people of Tatha believe that this is true because their mother is the heroine Yun Qi!

The officials did not know what the King of Yan summoned them suddenly. They woke up their own and their families and their recent actions. Some people calmed down, while others became even more uneasy.

The King of Yan slowly walked into Yin'an Hall, he sat on the throne, and the officials performed a kneeling ceremony. The King of Yan's eyes swept over them one by one, his face unknown.

The hall was silent so quiet that everyone could hear their heartbeat.

Suddenly, the King of Yan said, "Mr. Wang, how many shops are there in Yanbei City? How many are there in Yanbei people? How many are there in Guannei? How many are there in Tara, Antar, Dangxia, and Koryo people? How many are there in?"

The Lord Wang was the parents of Yanbei City. Hearing this, he was stunned and said hesitantly: "There were 65 shops in Yanbei City. Many of them have been opened in the past two years. Now there are 194. As for how many people are from other places... the officials still need to go back and check it."

The King of Yan looked at everyone again and asked, "Do you know what Lord Wang doesn't know?"

The hall was silent, and everyone lowered their heads, but no one answered.

The King of Yan looked at the eunuch beside him and said, "Go outside and ask."

Those who can enter Yin'an Hall are of grades, and some who don’t even have grades are all waiting outside Yin'an Hall.

The eunuch went out for a walk and brought back a young man.

When Lord Wang saw this young man, he frowned and was about to say something, but King Yan had already spoken: "Do you know the question I asked?"

The young man stepped forward and bowed, saying, "There are five shops opened by outsiders in Yanbei City. One is a winery, and the family sells their own wine. The family's surname is Mo. It has been in Yanbei for a year. After hearing that the head of the family passed away, the people in the clan could not tolerate orphans and widows, so they simply went out of seclusion to make a living. Now the head of the family is Aunt Mo. She has two sons, the eldest is eighteen years old and the younger is only ten years old. The second family also came a year ago. They are craftsmen who make a living by craftsmanship. They make some fresh small toys. The head of the family's surname is Tang..."

As the young people came one by one, there were no other sounds in the hall, and even Lord Wang pricked up his ears and listened.

After talking about the shop inside the pass, the young man continued, "There is only one Tartar shop, which sells horse harnesses. This man originally worked in the Tartar horse farm. After the death of the previous prince, the horse farm gradually could not be opened. Later, a young man from the northwest came over and took all the people and horses to the northwest. The Tartar took his family and did not follow his home. He hid in the mountains a few years ago and became a hunter. In the past two years, he came to Yanbei City to open a horse harness shop."

The King of Yan's brows moved. The young master from the northwest thought that was his brother-in-law Xiao Ren. OK, no wonder my grandmother refused to come back after entering her brother-in-law's horse farm. It turned out that it was from Yanbei, and my grandmother felt intimate.

"Where is the Korean shop? Is there a Yanbei?" asked the King of Yan.

The young man said, "There is a family, but it cannot be said to be a Goryeo. The man in that family is a Han, and he is a native of Yanbei City. He has lived in Yanbei City for several generations. The woman in that family is a Han man of Goryeo descent. The prince may not remember that in the early years there was a Goryeo dancer in the Yanwang Mansion. The former prince gave the dancer to the princess. The princess kindly gave her out of the house. The lady in this shop was the daughter of the dancer, and her father was the musician in the former royal mansion. The shop they opened sold all the Goryeo items, but these items did not come from Goryeo, but they hired people to make them themselves."

King Yan's eyes lit up, and he said, "What's your name? Where are you working as a job?"

The young man said: "The villain is called Liang Song, and he is currently in the Grand Historian of the Taxation Department."

The tax department has a history of the tax department, and it is in charge of the business tax, and it has not entered the market and has no quality.

This young Dashi not only knew the shops in Yanbei, but also told them about their origins and identities. The King of Yan was very satisfied with him, so he kept Liang Song and several aides.

The next day, a note from the King of Yan was sent to the capital.

The King of Yan said in the memorial that in order to recruit merchants from all over the country, Yanbei was willing to reduce the tax and interest of foreign merchants by another 10%.

This is to get the court to order to recruit merchants to do business in Yanbei.

After the letter was sent away, the King of Yan's brows finally relaxed, and the dark clouds in the King of Yan's mansion for several consecutive days finally dissipated, and the sun shone in the King of Yan's mansion!

"Liang Song, which street is the shop you mentioned that sells Korean goods?" King Yan asked leisurely.

Liang Song said: "That place is not difficult to find, it's just in Sandaoli."

The King of Yan had only heard of Erdaoli. Erdaoli was Yanzhi Lane in Yangliu Hutong in Yanbei City. This was the first time he heard of these three roads.

Ke Yier, who was standing beside him, said with a smile: "It turns out that the broken street has a name now, and I don't even know it."

Liang Song smiled and said, "It's not that Mr. Lu didn't know that these three roads were taken by Xiaoke himself. There was no shop there before, so he didn't have to register and make an account. Now that there is a shop, Xiaoke has to register it. It can't be written as the broken street behind the second road, so he named it Sandaoli himself."
