I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian

The Queen of Ancient Dian narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at the brightly lit trade route, and said in a deep voice: "In a prosperous era, there must be undercurrents." Baona's heart trembled, the Queen hit the nail on the head.

The new trade routes flourished like the rising sun, but they also attracted greedy eyes and harbored hidden dangers.

The next day, the trading market was in chaos.

The originally orderly transaction became chaotic, with shouting and quarreling sounds one after another.

The supply of goods is insufficient, and the prices of some scarce commodities have increased several times.

Shangguan Xingshang came running in sweating profusely to report: "Sir, this is bad! The market is in chaos!"

Baona walked quickly to the center of the market and saw a bustling crowd of people.

Some unscrupulous businessmen took advantage of the situation, raised prices and made huge profits.

The people complained and cursed the caravan's goods.

Zhuge's guards and others tried their best to maintain order, but they were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, unable to do anything.

"Damn profiteers! They actually took the opportunity to raise prices. This is simply too much!" A strong man roared, waving his fists.

"That's right! All the money we worked so hard to earn was taken away by these unscrupulous businessmen!" another woman cried.

"Lady Baona, your caravan is the same as birds of a feather! All you know is how to make money from our hard-earned money!" Someone pointed at Baona's nose and cursed.

Baona's face turned pale. She had never thought that the trade route she had worked so hard to build would become like this.

She took a deep breath and shouted, "Everyone, please be quiet! I know everyone is very unhappy right now, and I understand how you feel. But please believe me, I will definitely solve this problem!"

However, the crowd's emotions were out of control and they simply refused to listen to Baona's explanation.

They continued to shout and curse, and even started throwing stones at the caravan's goods.

Zhuge Guard and others quickly protected Baona and took her away from the chaotic market.

Back at the mansion, Baona was extremely anxious.

She knew that if this problem was not resolved quickly, the consequences would be disastrous.

The caravan members were all dejected and at a loss.

Murong Shangren was so frightened that his face turned pale. He hid in the corner, trembling.

Baona looked at the chaotic situation, clenched her fists, and a glint of determination flashed in her eyes. "Shangguan Xingshang, immediately contact the Sima tribe leader and other cooperating tribes and tell them that I, Baona, have something important to discuss with you!"

Shangguan Xingshang took the order and left at full speed.

Bao Na discussed countermeasures with Zhuge Huwei and others and formulated a plan to stabilize the market order.

Soon, the Sima tribal leader and other tribal leaders arrived one after another.

Baona told them the chaotic market situation and her concerns, and sincerely asked them to increase the supply of goods.

Seeing Baona's anxious expression and her efforts to maintain the stability of the trade routes, the tribal leaders expressed their willingness to help.

"Lady Baona, you work so hard for the benefit of all of us, how can we stand idly by? Don't worry, we will do our best to increase the supply and stabilize the market!" The leader of the Sima tribe patted his chest and promised.

With the support of these tribal leaders, the supply of goods gradually became sufficient.

Commodities that were previously scarce in the market began to appear one after another, and prices gradually fell.

The people's complaints gradually decreased, and were replaced by praise and gratitude for Bona.

The caravan members also breathed a sigh of relief, with long-lost smiles on their faces.

At the same time, Zhuge Guard led a team of capable guards to patrol the market and crack down on merchants who raised prices.

Some illegal businessmen were caught on the spot and received due punishment.

Market order gradually returned to normal and transactions became orderly again.

Seeing that the market was gradually returning to normal, the people regained their trust in Baona's caravan, and her prestige was also enhanced.

Murong Shangren poked his head out from the corner, his face covered with a flattering smile. He rubbed his hands and came forward: "Lord Baona is truly wise and brave..."

Baona glanced at him coldly, then turned to Shangguan Xingshang and said, "Get ready. I'm going to the palace to meet the empress tomorrow."

When Baona entered the palace, she saw that it was decorated with lights and full of joy and peace.

The empress sat in the main seat, wearing an elegant brocade robe. Under the flickering candlelight, she looked even more graceful and stunning.

Fine wine and delicious food had already been prepared, the sound of stringed instruments was melodious and graceful, and a piece of court music washed away Bao Na's fatigue from the journey.

"My dear minister, you have made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion and you deserve a reward!" The Queen raised the jade cup and gestured in Baona's direction, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness in her eyes.

Baona quickly stood up, took the wine glass respectfully and drank it all in one gulp.

"I dare not take any credit for anything. Everything depends on Your Majesty's great blessing."

After three rounds of wine, when the singing and dancing were in full swing, the Queen gently called Bao Na to come closer and said softly, "Your talent has won my heart." Bao Na raised her eyes and met the Queen's deep eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart.

After the palace banquet, Bao Na did not dare to slack off and drafted new trade rules overnight, covering all aspects such as commodity pricing, trading order, and dispute resolution, striving to be fair and just and safeguard the interests of all parties.

The next morning, Shangguan Xingshang took the new regulations and rushed to various tribes to publicize them.

Shangguan Xingshang was indeed a man of many talents. He explained the new rules in a simple and easy-to-understand way. After listening to them, the leaders of various tribes said that the new rules were reasonable and they were willing to abide by them.

When the news reached ancient Dian, the caravan members were even more impressed by Bao Na's leadership ability and their morale was greatly boosted.

Murong the Merchant came forward even more attentively, his face full of smiles: "Lady Baona is truly a master of strategy, winning battles thousands of miles away! My admiration for you is like a surging river..."

Baona ignored his flattery, frowned and stared into the distance.

She knew that the current peace was only temporary. As trade expanded, the Ancient Dian Kingdom would inevitably face more complex challenges, especially in diplomatic relations...

Late at night, Baona stood by the window, gazing at the twinkling stars in the sky, muttering to herself, "A new storm... is coming..." Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door, "My lord! Something happened!"
