Jiang Yutong jumped up happily when she heard this, "Can I go out?"

Jiang Yutong has been in the palace for so long that she feels bored and has never left the palace.

"of course can."

Soon, they arrived at the official sale. Xiao Yifeng and Jiang Yutong disguised themselves and looked like an ordinary couple.

The two men brought some followers and left the palace and came to Fu Yue Tower. There were quite a few people there, and many merchants gathered below, all discussing the fine salt in low voices.

Xiao Yifeng brought Jiang Yutong to the private room upstairs, and soon the Salt Bureau and the Ministry of Revenue arrived.

The Ministry of Revenue sent a well-spoken minor official to the stage and said, "Everyone, I believe you all know that the official sale this time is salt stamps. Let's first take a look at the fine salt."

The official took the snow-white fine salt and asked the merchants to taste it one by one, which immediately caused an uproar. The originally quiet scene began to be filled with whispers.

“I didn’t expect there was such good salt.”

These merchants seemed to see the white silver.

Some businessmen straightened their backs and made up their minds to win.

Some clenched their fists. Jiang Yutong stood upstairs and smiled, believing that this official sale would be successful.

"Everyone has seen it, so let's officially start the official sale. The highest bidder wins."

The junior official added, "Let me make a few points clear beforehand. Salt merchants in each prefecture can only sell within their own territory, and the price cannot exceed the price set by the court. Fine salt, if the price is 30% higher than before, will be exempt from the salt tax. Okay, let's get started."

When the merchants heard that they could be exempted from salt tax, they quickly did the math in their minds. This was a huge sum of money. Salt was originally a high-profit product, and these would be even more profitable.

Soon, merchants began to bid, "Ten thousand taels."

"Twenty thousand taels."

"Thirty-five thousand taels."

Soon, salt seals from several places were sold out. The highest price was the salt seal from Jiangnan, which was sold directly for 100,000 taels of silver.

Jiang Yutong had to admit that the businessmen in Da Qi were still rich. He had really lost money selling MSG before.

Xiao Yifeng saw that things were going well downstairs and smiled, "If you want to go somewhere else, I'll go with you."

Without waiting for the meeting to end, the two men quietly went downstairs and one of them rode a horse to the suburbs.

Jiang Yutong might have gone crazy in the palace. She just said she wanted to go horse racing in the suburbs, and Xiao Yifeng agreed.

Jiang Yutong was riding a horse in front, and Xiao Yifeng followed behind. They ran a long way and only slowed down when they reached a piece of grass.

Jiang Yutong smiled at Xiao Yifeng behind him, "It's really enjoyable."

Xiao Yifeng smiled and said, "Next year, we'll go hunting in the enclosure, and then you can run as much as you want."

"it is good."

"drive."

Jiang Yutong urged the horse to run again, and Xiao Yifeng followed. When Jiang Yutong got off the horse after running tired, Xiao Yifeng handed over the water bag and said, "Drink some."

The two of them snuggled under the tree and watched the horses grazing in the distance, which was a rare moment of leisure.

Xiao Yifeng has been very busy every day since he ascended the throne, so the two of them just sat there and felt comfortable.

Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them prepared to go back, but Jiang Yutong was too lazy to ride a horse, so Xiao Yifeng simply held Jiang Yutong in front of him, and the two of them rode a horse back to the capital.

With fine salt, the treasury gradually became richer, and Xiao Yifeng finally sat firmly on the throne.

Jiang Yuwen and Du Xiaoyao's wedding was held before the New Year.

Jiang Yutong returned to the Jiang Mansion the day before, and Xiao Yifeng also asked Jiang Yutong to stay in the Jiang family for a few days.

The Jiang family has few members, but fortunately Jiang Yutong has returned home to take care of things.

Jiang Yutong did not go to the Du Mansion that day, but asked Dongmei to take the dowry gift she prepared for Du Xiaoyao. This dowry gift was given as a gift from a good friend. Although Du Xiaoyao would be her sister-in-law in the future, Jiang Yutong did not forget the friendship with Du Xiaoyao.

The night before, Jiang Yuwen was extremely nervous. Jiang Yutong watched him walking around and said with a smile, "You're a great general, and you're not nervous even when fighting in battle, but you're nervous now."

Jiang Yuwen smiled innocently, "It's different."

Jiang Yutong didn't tease him and pushed him back to his room. "Go back and have a good rest. You must be in the best condition to marry Xiaoyao tomorrow."

Jiang Yuwen nodded and returned to his room.

Early the next morning, the general's mansion became busy. Jiang Yutong also got up and carefully urged the servants to do their work well.

While entertaining the guests, when the time came, Jiang Yuwen put on his groom's suit and rode a tall horse to the Du Mansion.

Not long after, the sound of firecrackers was heard. Jiang Yutong couldn't hold back and ran to the door to greet them in person.

As soon as he went out, he saw Jiang Yuwen shooting arrows at the top of the sedan chair. The three arrows represented good wishes and meanings.

Jiang Yuwen opened the curtain of the sedan chair and pulled Du Xiaoyao out. Seeing this scene, Jiang Yutong's eyes suddenly became moist for some reason.

Xiao Yifeng came at this time. The emperor came in person to attend Jiang Yuwen's wedding. It must be said that he valued the Jiang family. Everyone knelt down in unison, leaving Jiang Yuwen with Du Xiaoyao and Jiang Yutong standing there.

Jiang Yuwen was about to kneel down while holding Du Xiaoyao's hand when Xiao Yifeng pulled him up. "No need to be so polite. Today is your big day. I'm here to ask for a glass of wedding wine. I wish you a long and happy marriage and a son soon."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. It is a blessing for me that Your Majesty can come in person."

Xiao Yifeng said a few more words and walked towards Jiang Yutong.

Jiang Yutong bowed to Xiao Yifeng and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Xiao Yifeng held Jiang Yutong's hand and said, "Let's continue."

The sounds of music and drums began again. Jiang Yutong saw that everyone was a little uncomfortable, so she pulled Xiao Yifeng directly to her boudoir, and the outside became lively again.

"Shouldn't I have come?"

Jiang Yutong gave him a reproachful look and said, "You coming here is giving our Jiang family face, so of course you should come."

Xiao Yifeng squeezed Jiang Yutong's hand and said, "You were not here yesterday, and I didn't sleep well the whole night. Now that I have finished dealing with the affairs in the palace, I decided to come out for a drink at the wedding."

"Let's go back to the palace tonight."

Jiang Yutong scratched his palm and said, "But I just got out. You promised me to stay outside the palace for a few more days."

This was a rare act of coquettishness, and Xiao Yifeng couldn't stand it. "Okay, okay, okay, you can stay as many days as you want. Why don't I stay at the Jiang Mansion tonight too?"

"I have to attend the morning court tomorrow. You're staying at the Jiang Mansion, and it's too tiring to mobilize a large army. I'll be back in a few days."

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Xiao Yifeng is indeed very busy.

Finally, he compromised and said, "Then you should go back early, otherwise I won't be able to eat or sleep well."

"That's it there."

Xiao Yifeng said seriously, "Really, look at my eyes, they're all dark."

Xiao Yifeng didn't stay long after all. He went outside and talked to Jiang Yuwen for a while before leaving with his men.

Only then did Jiang Yutong have time to visit Du Xiaoyao.
