Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1651

Bookshops and bookstores sprang up overnight in the North Wing like bamboo shoots after rain. Shi Anxia had been preparing bookshops in various places under the guise of traveling for this year, all for this moment.

She had not informed Emperor Mingde about this matter. She just felt that Beiyi and Wan would have a war sooner or later, and it was better to make plans early than later.

I didn't expect it to be used so quickly.

The so-called splashing ink to write the Spring and Autumn Annals, and wielding a brush to repel all enemies. Only by attacking the heart and attacking the city can we exchange the greatest victory for the smallest loss.

Shi Anxia has never slacked off since the "Clear Dust Plan".

She was afraid that she could not escape her fate, and she was even more worried that her plan to kill Booth, the scourge, would eventually lead to the Wan Kingdom coming to fight.

Emperor Mingde did not dare to start a war lightly before, but Anxia had to make plans in advance. Now that Emperor Mingde is willing to lead the army in person, the establishment of the bookstore is just right.

Bookstores were widely set up, post roads were opened, and even all merchant ships were requisitioned.

Books were carried out of the capital by carts and boats in an endless stream.

This day is New Year's Eve, a time when families reunite.

In the North Wing this year, many people were unable to return home and reunite with their families.

The inability to reunite today is for a better reunion in the future.

Shi Anxia stood at the dock. The cold wind blew up her hair and made her nose red.

At this time, it was just dawn.

In the distance, ships are slowly leaving the port, loaded with books, exuding a faint scent of ink in the morning light.

"Your Highness, the last ship of the day has departed." The inspector who was in charge of dispatching the ships came forward to report.

Shi Anxia nodded slightly, "Thank you for your hard work, sir."

The inspector bowed and took his leave.

Bei Hui led a group of busy servants to come over and replied, "Madam, the dumplings and glutinous rice balls have all been distributed."

We came to the dock at midnight today so that people who are traveling far away can have a bite of hot dumplings and glutinous rice balls on New Year's Eve.

Shi Anxia nodded and slowly walked towards the low-key black flat-top carriage.

There were two cats and a dog in the carriage, curled up with their eyes wide open.

Shi Anxia got in the car, sat down, touched their heads, and closed his eyes to rest.

The delicate white cat stretched lazily, took a few tentative steps forward, pawed its master with its claws, then meowed and crawled into her arms.

Shi Anxia had no choice but to put down the hot water bottle and hold the cat in her arms.

Same, both can warm your hands.

The wheels rolled over the bluestone road, making a dull sound. Shi Anxia lifted the curtain and looked at the towering city wall in the distance.

Passing through the downtown area, it was bustling with people.

Caishikou was already crowded with people, with lanterns hanging high, casting a warm yellow glow on the street.

The vendors carried their loads on their shoulders, and their baskets were piled high with fresh leeks, cabbages, radishes, and winter bamboo shoots that had just been dug out of the ground. The fresh leaves were covered with morning dew and white frost.

There were shouts everywhere.

"Fresh chives! May you have a long and prosperous life!"

"Cabbage! Cabbage! A fortune will come in, and you will be rich in the coming year!"

Shi Anxia stopped the carriage and said to Bei Hui, "Let's buy some leeks and cabbages to bring back home for good luck. See if you have anything else and buy them together."

It also allows people to sell their products early and go home to celebrate the New Year as the weather is cold.

Bei Hui got off the carriage and bought several large bundles, which the coachman carried to the front seat of the carriage.
