The ht xi City There were many courtyards inside the manor It was a serene place filled with uards, and stewards stayed here usually Even the ed to the renowned Zhong Clan of Lan Province Coincidentally, this manor was only half a street away fro discovered Ye Xiao’s incident before
The head steward led Zhong Hongzhang and Zhong Ruolan directly into the drawing roo up so and Zhong Ruolan sat down in the seats on either side of the clan head’s seat in the drawing roo took a sip of tea to moisten his mouth, then spoke, “We saw the Yan Benevolence Hall in the city just now Quite a few beggars and the poor were lining up to get the to the Yan Clan?”
“Second Master, the Yan Benevolence Hall in Pingxi City was opened by the Yan Clan of Yan Fortress since ives out food and clothing to help the poor and distressed every day, and also does a lot of good things for the people in the city, such as xi City, Yan Benevolence Halls can also be found in every county town of Pingxi Prefecture All of them more or less have the same functions In just a month, the Yan Benevolence Halls have won praises froxi Prefecture, and the Yan Clan’s reputation also soared in the prefecture…”
Zhong Hongzhang exchanged glances with Zhong Ruolan before the forer He here tohis orders, then arranged people to notify Manager He, as none other than the xi City
“What do you think, Ruolan?”
“If the Yan Clan is after faxi City should suffice Yet, they set up one in every county within the prefecture It’s evident that they’re not just looking for fa either sincerely wants to give back to the co too much money, or he’s not satisfied with his current faxi Prefecture!”
“I think so too However, Yan Liqiang is already very influential despite his young age After he killed Cai Yingith only a single arrow, everyone knows that he’s the best archer in the northwestern region He can even subdue the Transportation Office and the Soaring Heaven Sect Is that not enough? Regardless, there’s no way Lei Sitong will appoint hixi Prefectural Governor!”
“Second Uncle, have you forgotten his other identity? The Emperor personally appointed hi Ruolan’s eyes sparkled as she spoke
“Qiyun Protectorate General?” Zhong Hongzhang suddenly burst out laughing while shaking his head “No xi Prefecture run to the White Stone Pass and help hi Plains are quite chaotic right now, Pingxi Prefecture still won’t be able to stand against anyone froht the Shatu Seven Tribes, there’s no way he can do it even if Lei Sitong hires the entire Gan Province If he wishes to rely on the people of Gan Province to help hi Plains so that he can secure his position as the Qiyun Protectorate General, there’s no way Lei Sitong or the iree to this!”
“Unusual people are capable of unexpected things If we can predict everything he does, then he’d be an ordinary person Then there’d be no need for us to co, have you met anyone with such exceptional e in path of s, as well as capability in earning e, Second Uncle…?”
“You have a point there, Ruolan!” Zhong Hongzhang’s face slowly turned serious as he nodded “Perhaps I was being a little too naive Yan Liqiang is indeed capable of unexpected and highly unpredictable acts Manager He has lived in Pingxi City forevent and trend in the prefecture Nothing can possibly escape his eyes When he coet more information so that we’ll be !”
…
Manager He was a plump man He had a pair of small eyes on his round face and a black o-lucky type of person Yet, one would be able to sense his intelligence if they caxi City, Manager He could definitely be regarded as a faure He had an unusual status and most businessmen or er He heard that the Second Master had coxi City to see hih he was drinking tea with his guest at the Datong Monetary House
Zhong Hongzhang and Zhong Roulan only had a short chat over their tea in the drawing roo both of the roo Monetary House for a bit, before getting straight to the point and asking about Yan Liqiang and the Yan Clan
“Even if Second Master didn’t ask, I was going to send a letter through bird post to get soers back at ho to send it to the Zhong Clan through the bird post?” Zhong Hongzhang asked curiously
“Well, I realized that the Yan Clan and Lu Clan of Huanglong County have been collecting wool everywhere over the past twoto me, so I want to make sure that everyone is informed back at ho wool in huge quantities?” Zhong Hongzhang found it puzzling too, and thought it was a joke
“Well, the Yan and Lu Clans are paying any price to get the wool Although the wool isn’t sold at a high price, every jin still costs about ten copper coins so it isn’t that cheap either The people who rear sheep were extre that the useless wool from their sheep could be sold for money So they sheared their sheep wool and sold it to Yan and Lu Clans Some clans outside the prefecture even sheared their sheep and brought their wool to Pingxi Prefecture to sell the out the travel expenses
“Just lasta few ranches in different counties of Pingxi Prefecture Not only that, but they also bought a few hillsides and lands that span overthese places, there are ru preparations to rear sheep there, and they have sent people to buy la workers It was also ru was the one who instructed people to buy the wool No xi Prefecture knohat the two clans plan to do with the huge amount of wool they’ve collected”
