Extra 3

The carriage left the imperial city and headed towards the most prosperous imperial street in Bianjing City.

It is the most prosperous place in Bianjing City. Thousands of shops of all sizes are piled up on the most central street of the city, and the shops of the King of Qi Mansion are indispensable.

The existence and existence of overseas vassal states and the Central Plains is an important part of the annual income of the vassal kings.

Not to mention the other vassal states, only Qi State, from the precious wood (furniture) in the mountains to the corals, pearls, giant clams, and the most famous spice trading in the South China Sea, the three stores in the Imperial Street can earn a lot of money for Zhao Yuan and his son every year.

Because there is a big gap between the price they receive and the price they sell.

Of course, for the entire Qi State, the annual profits of these three businesses are still insignificant. The latter purchases a large amount of commodity materials from the Central Plains every year, and requires a large amount of funds to be invested in the introduction of Central Plains immigration. The real source of income of Qi State is not these three businesses.

These businesses are owned by the King of Qi's Mansion, which is the private property of the King of Qi, just like the Interior Government Industry in the Song Dynasty.

The real source of income of Qi State is the continuous transport of grain from the north, the slaves captured by the Southern Archipelago (Mindanao), and the Tongshan Mountains sold to the Ministry of Internal Affairs with a wave of his hand.

There is no need to say much about the abundant copper mineral resources in the Luzon Islands, and this thing is urgently needed by the Central Plains.

Therefore, during the past six years, the Qi Palace in Bianjing City has never been worried about money.

Zhao Yuan lived six years with a mother but no father, and he even moved out of the palace three years ago to be an independent portal. He spent all his thoughts on how to deal with classmates at Gong Xue and how to deepen his influence among the senior children of the Song Dynasty. He never really glanced at the three stores.

But today, King Qi accompanied the Queen Mother to the Imperial Street.

This behavior is a bit abnormal, but no one inside or outside will think that the "abnormal" really has something to dig out. The emperor is about to get married, so who can use King Qi to make trouble?

Is that fucking King Qi? Is that fucking my own head.

His eyes were still staring at the mother and son. After all, the prince and the concubine were out. If there was no need to take care of him, Li Qiong, who was in charge of the Jinyiwei in the capital, would be the first to die.

After getting off the carriage, there was a four-story teahouse in front of me. I naturally didn’t go to drink tea when I first came out.

Zhao Yuan helped Pan to another place.

Yu Street is so lively, with everything you sell and all kinds of noble people.

It is not uncommon for Zhao Yuan and his son to be very noble at first glance. The carriages they were riding in were not under the banner of King Qi. Even though Zhao Yuan looked handsome and Pan, who had a veil hat, was also noble, but here on Yu Street, it was like a fish in the water.

From outsiders, what kind of siblings do they seem to be from?

Pan's complexion is much better than Empress Dowager Xing, and he doesn't look old.

Zhao Yuan is tall and big, and is seventeen years old. She looks very naive, and she really doesn't look good as a mother and son.

"There is a jewelry shop run by Jia Baifan, which contains some jewelry from foreign countries. Compared with the Song Dynasty, it has a different flavor. Let's take a look?" Pan said.

Today, the mother and son came to Yujie. The only purpose was to have a good walk and take a look, because there would be less time in the future.

By the way, I bought some small items from men and women, so that I could be relieved to Han and the others.

"Then let's go and have a look." Zhao Yuan was not very interested in this, but he knew the truth that 'there are many rituals and people don't blame him'. The empress dowager chose four for the emperor, and the remaining four were obviously to be given to him.

‘The overall situation has been decided’, and there is nothing to struggle with. Although Zhao Yuan felt a little dissatisfied - he felt like picking up things that people don’t want, the dissatisfaction was all against the mother and son in the palace.

There is absolutely no intention to blame Han and the others.

On the contrary, he had to do his best to have a good relationship with Han and others.

The family behind the four women is certainly inferior to those who were before, but they are not an unknown person. As long as the relationship is well established, Qi State will always benefit.

For example, the many children of the Han family, all of whom were pronounced and verbal, had no great development in the Central Plains, but they could become grassroots officials when they arrived in Qi.

The shop looked small, and the shopkeeper was a mixed-race person. He hurriedly came forward to greet him as soon as he saw someone coming. His eyes could tell that he was definitely a real noble person.

It doesn’t matter whether you buy something or not, you must not neglect it.

Although many royal families in Bianjing City have moved out, there are still many noble people...

"This one looks pretty? Mother, look?" Zhao Yuan picked up a string of pearl emerald ruby ​​necklaces. The green emerald was dotted with white pearls, and rubies were dotted in the middle. It was more smooth than some Nestorian-style jewelry.

The Byzantines inherited the gold-pruning technology of West Asia and formed a gorgeous and very style in luxury jewelry. However, because the belief factor was too strong, pure Byzantine-style jewelry had no sales in the Song Dynasty.

In other words, some Bai Fans had a flexible mind and used Byzantine craftsmen to adapt to China's taste. Sure enough, they opened a bloody path in the Bianjing luxury jewelry market, which was full of strong hands.

This feeling is very similar to the export porcelain from the Ming and Qing dynasties in official history.

——A unique artistic painted porcelain developed by Chinese porcelain merchants after gradually adapting to the needs and preferences of foreign markets.

"You want to give it to someone and make your own decisions."

The Pan family sat down aside, and while they were full of nobleness, they also had a sense of sorrow and sadness floating.

The emperor is about to get married, and Zhao Yuan is about to get married. After that, she will follow her son to leave Bianjing City, where she has lived for half her life.

Pan is reluctant to let it go.

It’s not that she can’t bear to leave the luxury and beauty here, but that she can’t bear to leave the people and things here, and that decade when she was overwhelmed by others…

When she goes, she can only return to the imperial tomb when she dies of old age.

When Pan thought about this, he had no strength.

But she knew she had to leave because she was not her and she still had children.

The King of Qi was the real king only when he arrived in Qi. What is the difference between the overseas vassal kings who were alone in Bianjing and under the emperor's noses and those royal families who chose to stay in the Song Dynasty?

God knows how worried Pan has for the past six years that his son has had a "better or worse"!

Therefore, watching his son go to rule the country and live in his own "land" is also a great wish of Pan.
