Chapter 333: North Wing Opens the Door
Ye Tang and the other person took turns reading the letters. The Duke of Huguo talked about going to Yuncheng, while Emperor Yuanwu mentioned Beiyi in his letter.
Since the Beiyi envoy was driven away, it would have found ways to target the Yuan Dynasty according to Beiyi's temperament. However, this time, Beiyi not only did not target the Yuan Dynasty, but also opened its doors wide and welcomed merchants from all countries to come to Beiyi to trade.
This surprised Emperor Yuanwu.
The northern wing not only has an open-minded people, but also has extremely fertile land and is rich in gems.
The last tribute sent by Beiyi included quite a few gems.
The Emperor of Beiyi is not only ambitious but also very selfish. He does not allow merchants from other countries to enter Beiyi, and gems will not be exported easily. If merchants from other countries sneak into Beiyi, Beiyi will find ways to find them and either drive them out or kill them directly.
Beiyi has been selfish for so many years, but now it has opened its doors, allowing merchants to come and go, and is willing to sell gems to the public. This is simply too abnormal.
Xiao Jingxuan said: "My uncle guessed that there must be a conspiracy in Beiyi, and it is a conspiracy against the Yuan Dynasty, so let us be more vigilant. When we are playing among the people, we should always pay attention to the Beiyi merchants entering the Yuan Dynasty."
Ten years ago, the Yuan Dynasty began to advocate the smooth flow of private trade and supported exchanges between merchants from various countries. No matter whether it was Beiyi, Fuso, or Xuanyue, as long as it was a normal transaction that would not harm the Yuan Dynasty or disclose the country's secrets, merchants could trade freely.
However, due to frequent conflicts between countries, especially the fierce fighting between Fuso and Beiyi and the Yuan Dynasty, merchants from various countries did not frequently travel between each other, and there were very few merchants from other countries entering the Yuan Dynasty.
Ye Tang pondered and said, "In recent years, the world has been peaceful and all countries are recuperating. Beiyi's move will definitely open up a new market and allow merchants from the four countries to have close exchanges."
Although the Yuan Dynasty had high-yield grain and people lived better than before, who wouldn't want to earn more money? There were countless people in the Yuan Dynasty who liked the gems from Beiyi, and those gems would bring huge profits to the merchants.
"For the sake of gems, the merchants of the Yuan Dynasty will definitely take risks and rush into the North Wing." Xiao Jingxuan sighed.
The couple discussed business dealings for a long time.
As the due date approached and the weather became colder, Ye Tang became more and more anxious. The most common thing she did every day was to gently touch her belly to feel the baby's movements, or to take her own pulse to make sure she was in good health.
She began to stay at home, either in her room or sitting around the stove in the greenhouse, roasting sweet potatoes, chestnuts, potatoes, tofu, meat...
She also taught Taohua and several maids how to make grilled sausages, mushroom meatballs, and fish meatballs. She tried every delicacy she could think of.
The appearance of grilled sausages and meatballs was so popular that the children from Master Xiao Wu's family would come to the Xiao residence to accompany Ye Tang and eat grilled sausages with her whenever they had time. They would miss them if they didn't eat them for a day.
"The grilled sausage is delicious. I like the chicken flavor."
"No, no, no, pork ones are better."
The children argued as they ate.
Looking at their playful appearance, Ye Tang was also very happy.
On this day, the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, there was a heavy snowfall.
It was rare to see such heavy snow in Tianan Prefecture, and people rushed out of their homes to play in the snow.
Jamel Xiao accompanied Ye Tang in the courtyard to make a snowman, or watched others play in the snow.
In order to play in the snow, the craftsmen of the Xiao tribe also made a lot of molds, including various animals and house furniture. These molds became the favorites of the children.
The children used molds to make chickens, ducks, geese, fish, rabbits, pigs, cows, horses, houses, tables, chairs and snowmen one after another. Some children also made big snow leopards and parrots in the shape of the three animals Xiaoqi, Junjun and Meimei.
They put the things they made together and started playing house.
"It's better to be a child!"
Sitting in the pavilion, Ye Tang couldn't help but sigh. She liked the feeling of peaceful time.
Jamel Xiao stayed beside her, looking at the snow on the ground and feeling itchy.
Ye Tang noticed it: "If you want to play in the snow, go ahead and play. I'll just sit here."
As she said this, she pushed Jamel Xiao, and Jamel Xiao glanced at her: “Did I really go?”
"Go ahead and have fun."
Xiao Jingxuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran out, leaped hard, threw himself into the snow, and then rolled on the ground, turning himself into a snowman.
"Wow, it's so cold! Children, come and help Grandpa clear the snow!"
"Okay!"
A group of children came over happily with snowballs and threw them all at Jamel Xiao.
"I asked you to clear the snow, not to hit me!"
Jamel Xiao yelled and rolled on the ground towards the children.
"Knock you little bastards off!"
"Snowball is coming! Run!"
The children scattered and fled.
Jamel Xiao rolled over and kept chasing after him.
More and more snow stuck to him, and he gradually turned into a super big snowball.
It was just crazy fun.
Liu An happened to come over and saw this scene and said, "How childish! He is in his twenties but still acts like a child."
As he spoke, he rolled a snowball, a snowball as big as his head, and smashed it hard on Jamel Xiao.
boom!
The snow on Jamel Xiao’s body was smashed into pieces.
Liu An continued to throw snowballs.
Jamel Xiao screamed: "Master, you are launching a sneak attack."
"As a teacher, this is called all is fair in war."
"Wow, the fight has started!" Seeing Xiao Jingxuan being beaten, the children were extremely excited. They picked up snowballs and joined the battle, besieging Xiao Jingxuan together with Liu An.
Xiao Jingxuan's two fists were no match for four hands, and he was hit hard.
He beat his chest like a monkey, howled, and suddenly jumped onto the roof, kicking the snow off the roof.
A roof of snow fell towards the 'enemy' below.
The 'enemy' screamed and dodged.
"Sixth Master is cheating!"
"There's so much snow, let's all surround the Sixth Master together!"
The children shouted, picked up the snow on the ground and threw it at Xiao Jingxuan.
The whole yard was filled with the sounds of "shouting and killing".
Ye Tang couldn't stop smiling.
She stroked her belly gently and said, "When you grow up, you can play in the snow with everyone."
Just when they were having fun, heavy snow fell again. Ye Tang returned to the greenhouse, and Xiao Jingxuan continued to play outside with everyone.
The snow made everyone have a great time.
Ye Tang was drinking water when he saw Junjun running in quietly.
It staggered to Ye Tang's feet.
"Mother!"
"Good man!"
"Great beauty!"
"Love you!"
It flapped its wings in a flattering manner, as if it was dancing.
Ye Tang couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Enough, enough, stop dancing, it's ugly."
Junjun was struck by lightning.
ugly?
The hostess said it was ugly, but it is the most handsome parrot in the world!
Ye Tang took three bird food and gave it to it: "Only three today."
Junjun's eyes lit up.
It also had bird food to eat, finally.
Woo woo, this is not easy!
After eating a bird's nest, Junjun suddenly felt as if his life had reached its peak and his soul was about to float up to the sky.
"good to eat!"
too delicious!
The world is delicious!
It was feeling happy, but suddenly noticed that something was wrong with Ye Tang's expression.
"Junjun, go outside and inform your master that I'm giving birth!"
