From a freeloader to a world leader

Chapter 346 Shopping

The dragon boat race ended near noon, and then hundreds of thousands of people dispersed along the banks of the Xiangjiang River like a tide.

Most people look for food nearby.

A small number of people returned home to eat.

All of a sudden, the originally empty urban area came alive.

Those businesses that had already made preparations were extremely busy facing the massive number of diners.

Lu Jinxi sat in Emperor Yuanfeng's special carriage, reporting on the income tax silver from the dragon boat race and his prospects for future horse racing.

"Your Majesty, I think Zhongshan's proposal is very good. Horse racing is not like dragon boat racing. It can be held all year round without time restrictions. As long as we make a careful plan, we can continue to develop it."

"This way, we can have a stable source of income!"

Emperor Yuanfeng looked at Lu Jinxi, who had become very motivated since entering Hengzhou, and nodded: "This proposal is acceptable. Where do you think it should be arranged? And who will organize it?"

This question made Lu Jinxi pause for a moment, and he put forward his own idea: "At present, only the imperial capital and Hengzhou are the most suitable places. As for the organizer, of course it is best to let Baron Zhongshan organize it. After all, this proposal was his, and many details are in his mind, and we have no experience."

After finishing his explanation, Lu Jinxi chuckled and said, "If we have experience in the future, horse racing can be promoted on a large scale. Just like Baron Zhongshan said, it can also develop our dynasty's animal husbandry and cultivate more high-quality horses for the empire."

These words made Emperor Yuanfeng feel a little pained.

The reason why the empire is currently at a disadvantage facing the Yemeng Kingdom and the Dahuang Kingdom is that since Mutu Fort, the horse-breeding area, the Hexi Corridor, which was gradually encroached upon, was snatched away by the Yemeng people.

This caused the empire to lose high-quality horses and the ability to maneuver in combat against the Mongols who came and went like the wind. Moreover, due to the control of morale and key locations, the empire gradually shifted from an offensive and defensive balance to a defensive one.

Furthermore, the internal friction within the empire became increasingly serious, and even the military was involved, resulting in the proliferation of factions within the army.

The army, which already had inflated military pay and uneven performance, lost its fighting spirit and capability.

Moreover, several major military giants gradually formed, restraining each other and competing for power.

In order to compete for resources and military pay, they often check and balance each other, preserve their strength, and some of them become too powerful to turn around.

"Okay, then let's pilot it in Hengzhou first. Zhongshan is unlikely to go to the imperial capital in the next one or two years. After we have mature experience in Hengzhou, it will be a good choice to launch it in the imperial capital at that time."

When Lu Jinxi heard that Emperor Yuanfeng suddenly and decisively decided the location for the horse race, he looked at Emperor Yuanfeng and Prince Heng Yang Yuanqing in surprise. At the same time, he looked at Deputy Prime Minister Li Shimin, who had not expressed much since arriving in Hengzhou.

After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Your Majesty, you have the final say on this matter, but if we divide the profits, our Ministry of Revenue must not take a smaller share."

Emperor Yuanfeng felt relieved when he saw that Lu Jinxi agreed with his opinion.

I feel that Lu Jinxi has become much easier to talk to after coming to Hengzhou.

Unlike before in the imperial capital, he had always maintained his relationship with the Wang family.

In fact, Lu Jinxi was not the only one like this.

All the imperial officials who came to Hengzhou had a lot of changes in their mentality after being in this fresh and vibrant city.

Compared with the imperial capital, Hengzhou today is like an old, frail man, and the other is like a young boy who has just learned to run.

You can see this by looking out the car window at the new Hengzhou people wearing cropped shorts and short sleeves with ponytails, and the old-fashioned Hengzhou people who are still wearing traditional long robes.

Besides, all the high-ranking officials who came to Hengzhou this time brought a lot of bags and bought a lot of fresh products from Hengzhou to ship back.

As for privately, when enjoying the cool air at night, everyone wears shorts and short sleeves.

This thing is so damn addictive, once you put it on, you never want to take it off again.

After all, it's so comfortable and so fashionable!

Sun Shan didn't know about the conversation between Emperor Yuanfeng and Lu Jinxi, so he took Yang Keyin shopping in advance.

However, this time it wasn't just Yang Kexin.

Yang Kewei has not had the chance to be with Sun Shan since her father came to Hengzhou.

This made her, who had always been having sex in the doggy style, feel itchy all over.

When she saw that Sun Shan had made a lot of money, she said she wanted to spend it all.

How could I bear it no longer and had to go along with them?

And her mother, Queen Qian Ruyu, for some reason, also wanted to go along, saying that she wanted to experience the people's livelihood and customs in Hengzhou up close.

Now, things have gotten serious!

Qian Ruyu is the mother of a country and cannot afford any mistakes.

But Sun Shan had no way of refusing. For some reason, he always felt that the queen had some unspeakable feeling towards him.

Especially when her motherly eyes looked at him, and her dignified and graceful demeanor as a mother of the world, he felt like submitting, yet also had a desire to conquer her.

Therefore, Sun Shan quickly called Qiuyue and Qiuju to be his two personal bodyguards, and then asked all the women to wear veils, leaving only the area above the eyes exposed.

Unexpectedly, this made the women even more tempted to reveal themselves, making people want to find out more.

Fortunately, Sun Shan is well-known in Hengzhou City.

When everyone saw Sun Shan leading a large group of veiled women walking along the street, they all smiled knowingly.

There were even some brave people who shouted, "Baron Zhongshan, you brought your wife here to go shopping too. I heard you made a lot of money today. Are you going to spend it all?"

"Absolutely."

Sun Shan laughed out loud: "Men make money for women to spend. This is how the family and life will be happy."

When he finished, though, something felt wrong.

Because the women behind him are not all his own, there is also a queen among them.

He couldn't help but look hurriedly at the queen.

He saw the queen's pair of delicate and kind eyes, staring at him with a smile.

I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.

This feeling is so complicated. You can say she is angry, or you can say she is furious.

"Queen, I didn't mean it."

Sun Shan lowered his head and approached Qian Ruyu, and apologized awkwardly: "I forgot you were here just now."

Qian Ruyu took a careful look, because the street was crowded with people, and Sun Shan was only two or three fists away from her.

I sighed in my heart: He has such a good-looking appearance. I'm afraid there are few men in the world who are better looking than him!

But for some reason, when Qian Ruyu's eyes fell on Sun Shan's huge nose, which was level with her eyes because he lowered his head.

My subconscious thought was the scene of this bad guy opening his daughter's vagina.

At the same time, my place tightened and I felt a tingling sensation spreading from there.

"Hey, it's okay. I forgive you this time. I'm a woman too, so I can just spend your money!"

Sun Shanmin lowered his head and felt that the queen was looking at him, but when her voice sounded, it was a little hoarse, as if her lust was stirring.

Sun Shan looked at Qian Ruyu in surprise.

I saw that in a pair of motherly eyes, there was actually the familiar thread of my woman.

impossible?

How is this possible? How is it possible that the mother of a country would feel this way?

Just when Sun Shan was hesitating, Qiu Ju, who was behind him, had to squeeze forward because of the dense crowd.

With one blow, the queen who was being protected was pushed forward and fell.

Coincidentally, he fell into Sun Shan's arms.
