Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

Huang Yuting: "It's all because of your tea-frying recipe. Otherwise, how could we drink such good tea and we wouldn't be able to earn so much money!"

Huang Yuting took out a stack of banknotes and handed them to Qinghe. "This is the revenue from making and selling tea in Tailai County during this period. This is your share."

Qing He put it away, tapped it lightly, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect there would be 50,000 taels. It seems that tea is really in short supply in Dasheng."

"Yes, a pound of tea costs several hundred taels of silver, and now tea is still in short supply." Huang Yuting said excitedly.

"Then let's develop some other types of tea next year and make sure we make a lot of money." After saying that, Qinghe also took out a stack of silver bills from his sleeve pocket.

"Sister Yuting, this is your income from the teahouse in Beijing. It's a total of 150,000. Count it."

Huang Yuting widened her eyes in surprise, "Qinghe, why are there so many?"

Pang Ziqian was also surprised, "Your Majesty, is this teahouse business so good? How come the profit is so high in just a few months!"

Baili Ye saw his surprised look and explained:

“Yes, the demand for tea in the capital is even higher, so the princess wrote a few more storybooks and found two storytellers to tell the stories in the teahouse.

The teahouse is always packed every day, and you have to pay to reserve a private room to hear the stories.”

Pang Ziqian and Huang Yuting looked incredulous. "Oh, really? When we have time, we must go to the teahouse and listen to the stories in the teahouse."

"If you want to go, you have to wait until the sixth day after the Chinese New Year. Because it's Chinese New Year, Qinghe has given the store a holiday until the sixth day. Then you can go there to drink tea and listen to books."

As he spoke, Qing He handed the gifts he brought to Huang Yuting, "Sister Yuting, these are some gifts we brought for you, as well as some New Year food we made yesterday, you can try them."

Huang Yuting took the gift and said gratefully: "Thank you, sister, you are always so thoughtful."

Pang Ziqian came forward and sniffed, "Sister, these foods smell delicious. Hehe, brother knows that there will be delicious food if you follow me."

Baili Ye saw that he was a foodie and said, "I'll give you another recommendation. Xiao He opened a hot pot restaurant on a street in Beijing. It's perfect for you to go there."

Pang Ziqian looked at Baili Ye excitedly and said, "Really?"

Qinghe nodded, took out a sign, and said, "Take this sign and go over. The shopkeeper will take you to the private room. It's free for us."

Pang Ziqian took it and thanked her solemnly, "Thank you, sister. You understand me the best. I have had a hard time in Tailai County in the past two years. Only after I met you, I can have delicious meals. Thank you!"

"I heard from Aye before that you will be transferred back to Beijing at the end of the year. When you come back, you can eat delicious food anytime." Qinghe said with a smile.

Pang Ziqian looked at Qinghe and Bailiye and said:

“Your Highness, my sister, Tailai County has only planted one season of new crops, and has just started to grow tea. Many things concerning people’s livelihood need to be further implemented.

I would like to ask the emperor for permission to stay in Tailai County for another year, and then return to Beijing when the lives of the people in Tailai County have really improved. "

Qing He and Baili Ye looked at each other, their eyes full of admiration for Pang Ziqian.

Baili Ye patted Pang Ziqian on the shoulder and said:

"Zi Qian, I deeply admire your concern for the people. I will speak well of you in front of the Emperor and support your decision."

Qing He also nodded and said:

"Brother-in-law, just go ahead and do it. In order to support your work, I will go back to Tailai County after the New Year to do some business and contribute to your political achievements."

Pang Ziqian looked at them gratefully and said:

"Thank you so much, sister. Thank you for your support, my Lord and sister. I will definitely not let you down and will definitely let the people of Tailai County live a better life."

Everyone chatted for a while and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

At this time, a high-pitched and excited voice came in, "Brother Ziqian, Brother Ziqian, I heard that you are back, I came to see you!"

A young man in moon-white robe strode into the yard. He had sharp eyebrows, bright eyes and a handsome face. He was Qinghe's cousin Qin Minglang.

"Brother Ziqian, you are finally back. Long time no see!" Qin Minglang walked up with a smile on his face and greeted Pang Ziqian with a bow.

Pang Ziqian also stood up quickly and responded with a smile: "Minglang, long time no see! How are you doing recently?"

Qin Minglang laughed and said, "I'm fine. I heard yesterday that you returned to Beijing, so I hurried over to see you today. Are you happy?"

"Of course. I'm very happy Minglang can come. I miss you so much! It happens that Prince Chen and Sister Qinghe are here too." Pang Ziqian said with a smile.

Qin Minglang's face lit up with joy, and he quickly greeted Baili Ye and Qing He:

"Greetings, Prince Chen. Sister, you are here too? Grandfather said you just came back from the border. I was just planning to go to the palace this afternoon, but I didn't expect you to come too. Did your trip go well?"

Baili Ye replied: "It went smoothly. This time we went to the border to express our condolences and participated in the border battle."

Qin Minglang and Pang Ziqian were both shocked. "Border war? There's a war at the border?"

Baili Ye nodded and said solemnly:

"We went to the border with the crown prince to comfort the soldiers, and we happened to find out that the three border countries, the Yi people, Yuezhi and Xiliang were plotting to jointly attack Dasheng. We took advantage of their tricks and took care of the three countries."

Qin Minglang stepped forward and asked, "The three kingdoms are joining forces to attack Dasheng? But there is no news of war in the capital?"

Pang Ziqian also looked at Baili Ye and Qinghe steadily, waiting for what would happen next.

So Baili Ye told them about how the three of them went to the border to express their condolences and spied on unusual movements at the border, thus discovering that the three countries were conspiring to attack Dasheng together. He then took advantage of the situation and arranged a battle plan, using secret weapons to defeat the three countries in one fell swoop.

"The news of this battle will be transmitted back to the capital today or tomorrow, and everyone will know about it at the palace banquet tomorrow."

After hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Qin Minglang's eyes were full of admiration, and he exclaimed: "Your Majesty, my sister, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are truly wise and brave. In this way, the border of Dasheng can be peaceful for several years."

Pang Ziqian also nodded in agreement and said, "This battle will surely frighten those who harbor evil intentions and make them dare not attack easily. But Your Majesty, I am very curious about what secret weapon you mentioned? How could it be able to defeat the enemy and the three kingdoms in just one day?"

Baili Ye smiled and said, "To put it simply, it's airplanes and gunpowder. These are all thanks to Xiaohe."

Pang Ziqian looked puzzled, "What are these airplanes and gunpowder?"

Qin Minglang, who has been on a plane before, actively explained:

"An airplane is a means of transportation like a horse-drawn carriage, but it can travel thousands of miles a day. It only takes a few hours to fly from the capital of Dasheng to another country."
