They control 60% of the world's business. Food is the first to be cut off, followed by pens, ink, paper, inkstone, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

In just five days, shops with signs saying "Protecting Dayong" started selling oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, cloth and grain at affordable prices.

However, the food was not the most common corn, but sweet potatoes, potatoes and other food that had never been seen before.

Of course there is also precious rice and flour.

These prices are not cheap, but there are cheap salted fish for sale.

The walls of the grocery store were filled with large fish, one or two meters long, which were dried in the sun and were cheaper than corn.

No need to ask, it was Han Lin who did it. Ever since Han Hen expanded the land area, he has set his sights on the sea area.

With the detailed shipbuilding drawings provided by Han Xue, hundreds of carpenters worked day and night to build three 100-meter ships. Han Lin then fell in love with naval warfare.

He collected all the unowned islands around him, and every time the three large ships returned, they were loaded with big fish.

Han Chou was just painting a rosy picture for him: there were countless islands overseas, and the islands were full of gold and silver mines.

Han Lin went for the treasure. He had hundreds of thousands of brothers to support. Now that their families were arriving one after another, he had to be responsible for the food and drink of more than 500,000 people.

Those who were still willing to fight in the army all went to Han Shu to guard the border, and those who stayed in Tang City all wanted to live a stable life.

He had to at least be responsible for their food and drink. He had gone out to sea many times, and even if he didn't find any gold or silver mines, he would still catch some fish, shrimp, and crabs, so as not to return empty-handed.

Han Lin looked at the half boat full of oysters. Han Chou, that brat, roasted them over a fire and dipped them in vinegar. There were few people in the army who didn't like to eat them.

This time we discovered a stone island. Apart from the dozen rare pieces of wood towed at the stern, the most popular thing was the half boat of oysters.

As for those big fish over one meter long caught by schools of fish, no one is willing to eat them anymore.

It just so happened that a road was being built inland, and some areas were really poor. Han Chou was willing to exchange antique jade for big fish for work meals.

Han Lin's men couldn't finish eating the fish they were given, so they were naturally willing to exchange them for gold and jade. After all, their wives and daughters were about to come to him, so they had to have some decent things to coax them.

Gu Zhao swept the palace cleanly. Most of the soldiers who were injured and recuperating in the palace married palace maids after they recovered.

Among the palace maids, few were not raped by the Tatar army.

In the poor class, widows remarrying is very popular, so a soldier from a poor family can marry a palace maid, which is considered marrying up. Those who can be palace maids in the palace have regular features and no ugly appearance.

In the aristocratic class, chastity is still valued. If an ambitious palace maid loses her chastity, her path to upward mobility will almost be ruined, so marrying an injured soldier is considered appropriate.

Otherwise, these palace maids who had lost their virginity would most likely be buried with the old emperor.

This is the result for those concubines who were bullied.

When the palace maids heard the rumor of being buried with the emperor, and heard that they could be exempted from burial by marrying a soldier who had made meritorious service, they would actively seek a way out.

Gu Zhao was unable to arrange the maids in the palace, so he just matched them up on his own and succeeded.

The treasury was out of money, so the rewards for the soldiers who had made meritorious service had to be postponed. Military merit could be exchanged for a palace maid-in-law. Both parties thanked Gu Zhao profusely and left the palace.

Now there are only three hundred people left in the huge palace, most of them are eunuchs and old maids in their forties and fifties who cannot get married.

Gu Zhao wanted to take Han Xue and his son Ku Ku back, but the guardian spirit said that it was not the time yet.

Stay in the imperial mausoleum, guarded by the guardian spirits, and the mother and child will be fine, so he can rest assured. When the time comes, he will be given a healthy wife and child.

Gu Zhao naturally believed it. The Fourth Prince was only the executor in allocating resources to the aristocratic families. He was the leader, and those aristocratic families had to hide their strength, making it difficult to defend against them.

With the guardian spirit protecting his wife and children, he naturally felt at ease leaving them in a safe place.

In his last dream, he also saw the talented Ninth Princess. Now, whatever the Queen needs to do should be left to the Ninth Sister.

The Ninth Princess is only eleven or twelve years old now, and she is dressed as a sickly little eunuch.

When Gu Zhao found her, her face was still covered with red spots and looked extremely ugly. No wonder the Ninth Princess was able to escape the clutches of the Tatars safely. They were indeed cruel to themselves.

Gu Zhao personally consoled the Ninth Princess: "How long will it take for the red spots on your face to heal? There are too many orphans in the imperial city. We need to build maternity and childcare centers in these four locations. Your sister-in-law is taking care of your nephew and can't come back. Please start the process in her name first."

The Ninth Princess had been trembling with fear since she was called here. After hearing the long list of instructions from the Crown Prince, she became even more confused. She stretched out a white and tender finger and pointed at herself: "Are you talking about me?"

Gu Zhao believed what he saw in his dream. His ten-year-old sister was definitely not ordinary. Otherwise, she would not have grown up without the protection of her mother. She also could not protect herself well under the persecution of the Tatar army.

"That's you. Princess Zhuang can assist you."

There were four princesses who grew up to be emperor. Three of them were killed by the Tatar army. Only the ninth princess, who had the least presence, is still alive.

"Second brother, when will Second Sister-in-law come back? What kind of building should the Salesian Home be? Do you have a specific plan?"

Gu Zhao took out four land deeds and gave them to her. "These are four farms that will house orphans under ten years old. We can grow food and vegetables on these farms. It would be best if we could be self-sufficient. The national treasury is empty right now.

I will allocate another 1,000 Han soldiers to assist you in completing this task. This is your sister-in-law's seal. When the Han soldiers see this seal, they will obey your orders."

The Ninth Princess' eyes rolled around. "How can I operate without food or bedding? Brother Crown Prince, please give me some money."

Gu Zhao was at his wit's end, "Only one thousand taels of silver is enough to buy some pots and pans. As for clothes, those wealthy families have been wiped out, and no one wants their clothes or bedding. Can't you just move some old things and use them?"

The Ninth Princess: "As ordered, the ladies in the palace have more discarded clothes. Do you want to move them out?"

Gu Zhao pondered, "Leave one or two pieces to be buried with me as a symbol of my status, and take the rest to the Charity House. We'll say that they were donated by the late queen, concubines, and palace maids during her lifetime."

Princess Gu Zhaohe was born into a royal family and would never do such a thing as recycling old items before.

Gu Zhao went to the battlefield and saw with his own eyes how the Han army killed the Tatars, stripped them of their clothes for the winter, and dragged the seriously injured war horses back for a snack. He felt uncomfortable at first, but gradually adapted to the situation.

Faced with the national treasury and private treasury that could easily escape rats, Gu Zhao had no choice but to be stingy.

The Ninth Princess was not taken seriously and often stole food from the palace maids and eunuchs. Having experienced the invasion of the Tatars, she was used to seeing their lack of taboos, where they would be having fun one second and start killing people the next.

In order to survive, she not only has to hide herself, but also has to guard against betrayal by those around her.

The eunuch clothes he used to pretend to be a young eunuch were taken off the dead eunuch's body with his own hands.
