368 Trading (1/2)

”With the condition of the water and all, there is no way you would be able to return back there anytime soon,” Yan heard about the condition of the water and frowned. If they could only make the trade every several months, it would be rather troublesome.

”It has been like this for years. There is basically no way we could build a big bridge over the river with the massive current.”

The architecture in this place was not that advanced yet. The water has a strong current, which would prevent them from making the bridge over the water. In addition, the distance between each riverbank was simply too far, and they would need to make more advance bridge compare with the one available.

”If you could make a plan to make the bridge, it might be possible. But for now, let's stick with the plan of exchanging goods every several months,” Xiao Meng interjected.

Yan nodded his head. This little princess was basically the one doing the decision along with him all these times. Tang Xuan only served as the negotiator and proposed the idea while the decision was taken by the two of them. Initially, he thought this little princess only tagging along, but it seemed she was also someone similar to him.

”I will set up the market here and shall we add more things from the current list?” Yan asked.

Xiao Meng shook her head, ”My brothers are all busy contending for the throne and they would not pay much attention to the economic state. You might suffer a lot of losses if you were to increase them even more. It would be better to wait for things to stabilize first before adding more things.”

”That's reasonable.”

With the emperor and princess going back and forth more, Tang Xuan's role gradually disappeared. He could only smile wryly at the sight of these two talking about the plan. He felt that he was no longer needed because whenever the princess took over, she would occupy every role there was.

Ming Hui watched them talking with disinterest. He had a lot of work waiting for him even without adding this matter into their hand. He sighed at the thought that he would need to work overtime today.

While Yan was still busy talking with the princess about the trade, Tang Xuan accompanied her on the side. He didn't do much, only noting important things and all.

”Is he your people?” Ming Hui pointed to the silent man on the side. Ever since Tang Xuan came here, he was only standing on the side and almost didn't do anything. Based on his clothes, it seemed that he was a servant or some sort.

Tang Xuan nodded his head, ”He's Steward Du from Gu Yue Kingdom.”

Gu Yue was the name of the kingdom where Tang Xuan and Princess Xiao Meng came from. They rarely knew anything about the place as they didn't have much contact with each other until this last few decades. Even then, the contact was limited only to the Yuan Kingdom on the Southwest part of Long Kingdom.

”I thought you like to work alone?” Ming Hui arched his eyebrow.

”Offered hands are better than none,” Tang Xuan answered calmly and picked out a different paper. ”Perhaps you will be interested in these kinds of things?”

Ming Hui took the paper and read the content slowly. It was one of the papers used to note down their trade, and the items written in the paper were many kinds of girl stuff. Because Ming Hui had lived as a woman for years, he instantly knew what those things were and what their use was.

”I never knew we trade this too,” this country could produce the same one too.

”The one Gu Yue Country produced is of better quality compared with the one you made here. Don't you think you would be interested in them?”

Ming Hui shrugged. He doesn't have any interest in wearing makeup anymore. Several years of wearing them were enough. He could buy them for Fan Lanying since the girl certainly didn't have many of them, but he doubt that girl would want to wear the makeup with her usual activities of training and so on.

Tang Xuan didn't force Ming Hui and picked a different paper for him, ”What about this one?”
