Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 755 Shaobai 28

Jiang Xinxin was happy to see the success of the Dark River, so she spared no effort to help them with ideas. Fortunately, the Demon Cult's Eastern Expedition had ended, otherwise she would probably still be restricted by the Heavenly Dao on Wangcheng Mountain.

But even if she didn't go down the mountain, could it be that she really couldn't influence the outcome of the battle?

At least she had contributed a lot to the fact that fewer soldiers died in Beili.

The location of Muliang City is really good. If it really has any special products, it can certainly open up a new trade route between Tianqi City and the outside world, so the selection of these special products is very important.

Jiang Xinxin gave a few suggestions: "First, fruit is a must. In my opinion, apricot trees, winter melons, cantaloupe and grapes are the best choices. The climate is also very suitable, and I happen to have these things in my hands."

Although he had never been to Tianqi City openly, Anhe would not let go of the investigation to find out what was on the tables of the powerful and wealthy all year round. Among the several kinds of fruits given by Jiang Xinxin, except for the apricot tree, which was a little more common, whether it was winter melon, cantaloupe or grapes, they were all fruits that only powerful people could enjoy.

Especially since these three kinds of fruits are tributes, there are only a limited number of them in the palace every year.

"Secondly, there are many rare medicinal herbs in the outer regions. You can also go there and investigate in person to see what medicinal herbs are suitable for Muliang City. However, I have a kind of red and blue flower to recommend. This red and blue flower has two slender red filaments. These filaments have the effects of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, cooling blood and detoxifying, relieving depression and calming the mind, and beautifying the skin. The petals can also be used to prepare pigments. Once planted, it can be harvested every year. It is really useful."

"Moreover, this red and blue flower prefers a cool climate. It blooms when the weather is cold, and there are not many people on the business road who need to hibernate during the winter."

No matter how excited the brothers Su Changhe and Su Muyu were, Jiang Xinxin kept her eyes on the lush green grassland in the distance, "Don't forget to use the grassland over there, whether it's for herding horses or sheep. But I don't agree with your idea of ​​wool. Apart from anything else, the wastewater left over from washing the wool is not suitable for discharge near places where people are."

"If you reopen Muliang City, there will be no shortage of herdsmen coming to trade on the grassland. What they need most is salt, sugar and tea, and weapons can also be counted among them. But I don't recommend that you sell them very good weapons. Otherwise, if one day you feed their appetites or teach them how to make weapons, you will be raising an enemy with your own hands."

Su Changhe quickly agreed: "Master, don't worry, we know what's going on. After all, we are all Beili people, and we will never raise an enemy for Beili!"

Although Su Muyu didn't say anything, his position was only more firm than Su Changhe's.

Jiang Xinxin added: "Also, you should pay attention to your diet. Although rice is the staple food in the south and noodles are the staple food in the north, you should always pay attention to the dietary differences between the north and the south. There are many places outside Muliang City that grow spices, such as cumin and fennel."

Su Changhe, Su Muyu and other famous figures from the Anhe families were all concerned about the construction of Muliang City. The suggestions given by Jiang Xinxin were very pertinent, but they were not enough.

Not to mention other things, just salt and sugar are not easy to come by.

Although the land of Shu where Wangcheng Mountain is located is rich in resources and has a prosperous population, with ready-made salt, honey and sugar produced, the Shu Road going north and south is notoriously difficult. These people with high martial arts skills can still ignore the dangers along the way, but for ordinary people, these are only a little easier than climbing to the sky.

However, although Anhe paid a huge price, and Emperor Tai'an happened to be thinking of replacing Yingzong, otherwise they would probably not be able to get away. Even so, Anhe still had the foundation to stand in the world. Jiang Xinxin simply sent a letter to Baili Dongjun and found a way to Qiandong City for them. At least from now on, Muliang City can eat sea salt from Qiandong City.

As for the rest, it depends on what Su Changhe and his men are capable of.

After that, Muliang City quickly recovered its vitality. The original trade route was not completely abandoned. Even though more than half of the merchants passing through were gone, it was not completely deserted. Muliang City had just begun to be rebuilt, but it also seemed to be full of vitality.

What attracted Jiang Xinxin's attention the most was the Mu family. Mu Yumo quickly introduced various spices from outside the region that could be used to maintain beauty and health. After just a year and a half, the rose dew produced by Mu Liangcheng became famous in Tianqi City, catching up with the long-famous production areas such as Daqin and Champa.

The rouge made by Mu Yumo and his family using red and blue flowers was highly sought after by the noble ladies of Tianqi City because of its rich colors and beauty-enhancing effects. The production volume was also limited due to the scarcity of raw materials, so even though these rouges were not well-known, they were really hard to come by among the rich and powerful!

Su Changhe, Su Muyu and other masters of Xiaoyaotian Realm would never have thought that one day their martial arts skills would be used to water fruit trees.

After Su Changhe watered the last acre of grape vines, he slumped down on the sand dune next to Su Muyu, panting and gritting his teeth: "If this year's grapes are not sweeter than last year's, I will dig them up!"

Su Muyu burst out laughing, and couldn't help shaking his head: "How old are you? You're still competing with grape vines——"

Su Changhe didn't care about all this. He simply lay down on the sand dune that had just been dried up by the morning sun. He closed his eyes and felt the warmth of the morning sun. Su Changhe couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

"It is said that there is a river that only appears in the darkest night, and its name is Dark River. I never thought that I would live like this..."

Su Muyu also sighed endlessly, and followed Su Changhe's example by lying on the warm sand dunes, "...I thought we only had one goal, but it's hard to see the way forward..."

Who would have thought that the Dark River was actually affiliated with the Shadow Sect, and that the Shadow Sect was a knife in the hands of the Beili Emperor when the Beili Kingdom was established?

The two stood up and looked in the direction of Wangcheng Mountain, and both felt that the "generous gift" at the time seemed too simple compared to the vitality of Muliang City today.

So when the grapes were ripe, Jiang Xinxin received a gift from Mu Liangcheng. Zhao Yuzhen felt uncomfortable when he saw that Jiang Xinxin liked the grapes from Mu Liangcheng more than the peaches he grew with the Lihuo Jue. He secretly made Wang Yixing jealous, and Wang Yixing couldn't help but laugh for several days whenever he had nothing to do.

Today, Li Fansong is still a little kid who has not formally practiced martial arts. He is fair and tender and very lovable. Although the people who tolerate him the most are his master Wang Yixing and his uncle Zhao Yuzhen, in fact, the person he likes the most is Jiang Xinxin, whom he doesn't see often.

Wang Yihang watched Li Fansong approach Jiang Xinxin as soon as he arrived at Yuxu Hall, and couldn't help but complain to Zhao Yuzhen: "Junior brother, look at my disciple. As soon as he saw Junior Sister, he forgot about me, his master!"

"I thought, I don't miss out on his snacks on weekdays."

Zhao Yuzhen just smiled, secretly complaining that anything that had passed through Jiang Xinxin's hands seemed to be more spiritual than that of others. He also had to admit that the food here was more delicious, and it was no wonder that Li Fansong liked to come to Yuxu Palace more.

Jiang Xinxin ignored Wang Yixing and Zhao Yuzhen, teased Li Fansong with a pair of grapes, and let Wang Yixing and Zhao Yuzhen go make tea and play chess.

But after a while, the quiet and peaceful atmosphere was broken by Ye Dingzhi, who looked conflicted.

Jiang Xinxin looked up at Ye Dingzhi, asking him the reason with her eyes. Everyone saw that he was holding an opened letter in his hand.

Ye Dingzhi smiled bitterly: "Master, Wenjun asked me for help, hoping that I could help her leave the Jinyu Palace and divorce the Jinyu King..."

Zhao Yuzhen suspected that he had heard it wrong, while Wang Yixing could not help but throw away the chess piece in his hand angrily.

"Dingzhi, you should be more careful. That person is already Princess Jinyu, not just the little sister you knew when you were a child." Wang Yixing corrected.

Jiang Xinxin was also speechless and asked Ye Dingzhi: "Do you know what she is thinking? Even if you know, what do you think?"

Ye Dingzhi originally didn't plan to care about Yi Wenjun, because she still had the Shadow Sect to rely on, and Xiao Ruojin didn't dare to do anything to her. But now the situation has changed, the Shadow Sect has been visibly declining, and Emperor Tai'an and Crown Prince Xiao Ruofeng are eager to ban the Shadow Sect, so now Yi Wenjun is only the princess in name only, not the real princess in the Jinyu Palace.

In other words, all the powerful people in Tianqi City knew that Xiao Ruojin was infertile, otherwise his backyard would have been filled with opportunistic court officials.
