Stay calm, don't panic, Her Royal Highness the Princess is going to reveal more news

Half a month later.

The atmosphere in the court was depressing and the emperor was in a bad mood.

They were all waiting for news from the caravan.

It was freezing cold, the caravan moved slowly, and news arrived late.

And the weather is getting increasingly cold and biting.

In the imperial study, Ji Qionghua was placed next to the fireplace, dozing off in a blanket.

The emperor was discussing matters with his court officials.

Everyone was very cautious, fearing to anger the emperor in the slightest.

In this depressing atmosphere, the prince walked in hurriedly with a happy look on his face.

"Father, the caravan is back, bringing back cotton. They also bought finished cotton clothes from Xirong."

"Please have a look, Father."

The prince has been in charge of this matter. In just half a month, he has lost a lot of weight.

After the things were presented, the emperor touched the simple cotton coat and explored it.

Although the stitching is not good, it feels soft and thick.

The emperor put his hand in for a while and clearly felt the temperature of his fingers rising. He was overjoyed.

"well!"

"Your Majesty, the cotton gin at the Ministry of Industry has been finished and can be put into mass production at any time."

The Minister of Works, Mr. Zhao Chang, came out at the right time to report.

Good news came one after another, allowing the court officials to speak freely. In the midst of this noise, Ji Qionghua yawned and felt drowsy.

"Reporting to His Majesty, I have also brought along the head of the caravan, Yan Xinghui, the young master of the Bihai Chamber of Commerce."

"He has one more thing he wants to ask the emperor, so please allow him to come in."

The prince asked for permission, and the emperor granted it.

Ji Qionghua squinted her eyes and saw Yan Xinghui, who had lost a lot of weight.

The time given by the emperor was too short, and their caravan did not dare to stop along the way. In addition, due to the bad weather, Yan Xinghui’s efforts were indispensable to achieve their goal.

"I, Yan Xinghui, pay my respects to His Majesty. Long live the Emperor!"

Yan Xinghui, who had performed the great ceremony as soon as he came up, looked at his feet obediently after being allowed to stand up by the emperor.

"The prince said you have something else to report. What is it?"

The emperor's mood changed from cloudy to sunny, and he asked in a kind voice.

"Your Majesty, I dare not hide the truth. The caravan will take at least ten days to return to the capital. The reason why I and these white cotton can return early is that we have discovered a convenient way of transportation."

"People call it Shunfeng Logistics."

Yan Xinghui was still explaining seriously, the general meaning of which was that before he went to Xirong, he coordinated with the various Bi Hai Chambers of Commerce along the way and arranged an express passage, with vehicles and horses waiting at all times.

He set up several stations on this road to serve the transportation of goods, and communicated with the government in advance for each station, striving to get clearance as soon as possible.

Therefore, after the things were brought back from Xirong, they could return to Beijing as quickly as possible.

"Thanks to the help of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I am able to live up to the high expectations of Your Majesty."

Yan Xinghui did not forget to invite the prince to play along while he was playing.

"Dachen has a vast territory and abundant resources, but many things cannot be circulated due to time constraints, and the people have lost a lot of income."

"I feel that perhaps we can set up a special passage for this purpose, and anyone who uses this passage will receive preferential treatment when passing through it."

These days, no matter where you go, you need a pass, and caravans also need to be inspected when passing through each city.

As a result, the caravan, which could only rely on horsepower and manpower, moved even slower.

Therefore, some things simply cannot be circulated on a large scale.

But if a special passage is opened so that people taking this route can pass through without being checked, wouldn’t that save a lot of time and trouble?

Yan Xinghui's proposal made the emperor ponder.

Even the other ministers had some realizations.

【Isn’t this the concept of express delivery? 】

[It's still a good deal, why don't you say SF Express? 】

【This is Le Yingying’s idea. 】

Ji Qionghua never expected to hear such advanced ideas here.

However, it would not be surprising if Le Yingying, who came from the same place as her, was with Yan Xinghui.

Ren Yingying made great contributions to this caravan mission.

Ever since the death of the Fifth Hua Yan, Ren Yingying has become much more honest and no longer dares to show off in public with her sense of superiority as a time traveler.

She gave Yan Xinghui a lot of ideas, which enabled him to successfully take control of the Bi Hai Chamber of Commerce.

[If this works, then all the good stuff from all over the world can be found in the capital.]

Ji Qionghua also supports it.

Express delivery in her time brought convenience to so many people.

[Although online shopping is not allowed here, you can buy it on your behalf. 】

[Open express delivery outlets, list local specialties, and those who need them can go to the outlets to pay a deposit in advance and wait for the outlets to buy them back. ]

[You can choose something that has a wide audience and a lot of demand, so the outlets don’t have to worry about losing money. ]

[Different commissions are charged for each order based on the distance, weight, and value of the goods. We focus on volume rather than price, and if it is successful, we can make a lot of money. 】

[Other caravans can also pay to take the express lane. ]

Today, Dachen is a prosperous country, and many people have extra money.

If you can buy some rare things, there are many people willing to spend money.

It’s just that it’s difficult to open channels in the early stages.

But the emperor thought more.

As Qiong Huaer said, once the channel is opened, it will benefit the people and the country.

He could set up two lines, one obvious line for caravan transportation, and one hidden line for the transmission of intelligence.

Not only does it increase the effectiveness, but it also makes it easier to cover.

When war breaks out in the future, the efficiency of wartime intelligence work can be increased several times.

However, this requires the imperial court to keep a firm grip on the secret lines in its own hands and never allow other forces to interfere.

"What do you think, my dear ministers?"

The emperor asked the ministers in the imperial study.

[Is there any need to ask? I definitely agree. When water transport is opened next year, it will be as fast as flying if we combine them together. I also want to eat seafood.]

Ji Qionghua came to her senses when she thought of so many delicious foods.

She sat up straight, swaying, and looked at the courtiers with her big round eyes.

[Let this princess see who objects. ]

The fierce yet childish tone made it difficult for some ministers who could hear it to refuse.

Of course, the most important thing is that the benefits of this matter outweigh the disadvantages.

"I think it is feasible, but this matter needs further discussion."

The left chief minister bowed and said.

This requires overall planning by the court and cannot be decided in a short period of time.

"I agree."

Lord Zhao gave his support.

The rest of the people echoed.

The matter was handled properly. When Yan Xinghui walked out of the door, he was very proud of himself with a large reward from the emperor.

When Ji Qionghua was carried out by the prince, what she saw was Yan Xinghui's smug expression.

[What's there to be happy about? If you don't go back, you'll lose your wife. ]

It’s no wonder that after the fox Yan Xinghui and Le Yingying got along with each other, there was a real chemical reaction and they fell in love with each other.

[The current script direction is "Traveling through ancient times to become an imperial merchant." 】

[But what follows is the story of "The Runaway Bride and My Rough Husband." ]

That’s right, Le Yingying’s family found her and were preparing to take her back to marry that rough husband.
