If Emperor Gong's welcome to Ye Ning'an gave her enough face, everyone said so, and Ye Ning'an thought so too.

But it was only when Zhou Jingyao came to Kyoto that Ye Ningan realized that the so-called sufficient face was actually not that sufficient.

The decorative ribbons had been spread all over Shili Market, and the people were confused and put on new clothes.

There are lights and colorful decorations everywhere, as if to welcome some great and great person.

But what is about to come is the regent of an enemy country who tramples on our land.

Both Ye Ning'an and Xiao Qing'er were speechless when they received the tip.

Ye Ning'an is even more so, the letter from Shang Yi said.

Since the regent is about to arrive, the emperor requires all merchants in Kyoto to reduce their prices by half to express universal celebration and welcome him. Master, what should we do?

The woman's eyes almost rolled out of her head.

If he stood in that position and didn't show all his weapons and all the people came to "welcome" him, he would already be giving face to the regent.

He even wants to put up lights and decorations everywhere, and all merchants in the city will cut their prices by half...

The emperor might as well just give the city of Kyoto to others.

Complaints are complaints, but there still have to be replies.

With a stroke of his pen, Ye Ning'an said, "First raise the price, then lower it. Start with one store and take your time."

Because Zhou Jingyao delayed himself in making money? Sorry, he's not qualified yet.

When Shang saw Ye Ning'an's reply, he felt relieved, but he was probably the only one in Kyoto who did such a saucy thing.

Wouldn't this suddenly expose Ye Ning'an's power in Kyoto?

But after reading it, Yinyi smiled calmly and said, "Just do what the master said."

Shang was half convinced and half doubtful, but Yinyi was not idle and quietly spread this idea.

Immediately, a large number of vendors in Kyoto City began to first increase the price and then half the price.

Some people will not live by just one shop, but for some people, the shop in their hands is what they rely on to make a living. If half-price is mandatory, they will definitely suffer a very heavy blow and may not even be able to survive.

But Ye Ning'an's method not only ensures that his own industry is not affected, but also can better deal with the emperor.

So everyone followed suit.

In the end, almost everyone did so, except those shops owned by high-ranking officials who did not dare to do so.

The angry ladies scolded their high-ranking husbands.

If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, you will really suffer a big loss now.

After all, this so-called half price is not just half price for the Regent team, but half price for everyone.

Moreover, it is necessary to ensure sufficient supply of goods. Almost every item sold will result in a loss.

What's more, there are two people, Ye Ning'an and Xiao Qing'er, who are secretly trying to cause trouble. They arrange for different people to visit those shops almost every day, causing heavy losses.

There are some who don't want to sell, but one is from Princess Chengtian and the other is from the former fourth prince.

Who dares to say no?

Ye Ning'an and Xiao Qing'er gathered a lot of wool in this way, openly and covertly.

What's more, once they buy it, others will follow suit.

The shopkeeper couldn't refuse the princess, and if the people around her started arguing with Yangzi, he wouldn't be able to refuse anyone.

Otherwise, he will be slapped with a huge hat, and how can he afford it?

Even before the regent arrived, these ministers suffered heavy losses.

Fortunately, Ye Ningan restrained himself in the end, but the ministers really couldn't hold it back and raised the price by half.

The officials who originally wanted to condemn it saw that even these ministers were unable to hold on, and ultimately did not report the matter to Emperor Gong.

When Zhou Jingyao came, the momentum was even greater.

Ye Ning'an looked at the crowd who were forced to greet them with smiles, her eyes filled with helplessness.

She asked for leave from Emperor Gong, but still came to the scene.

And Emperor Gong didn't care much about her. As long as she was there at the dinner, that was fine.

But Xiao Qing'er was not so easy to escape.

Ye Ning'an, who was now hidden in the crowd, looked at Xiao Qing'er who looked disheveled, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

But when she turned her gaze to Zhou Jingyao, who looked proud, her expression returned to solemnity.

She was silent for a moment, then turned and left.

At this time, Zhou Jingyao looked at the prince Xiao Qian with critical eyes: "It turns out that even the prince of Gongguo is so thin, no wonder."

He had a sarcastic smile on his face. Although he didn't finish his words, everyone around him knew what the hidden words meant.

Xiao Qian was full of anger, but he couldn't help it, so he had to laugh along with him.

Seeing that His Highness the Crown Prince had no blood at all, Zhou Jingyao couldn't help but shook his head in disappointment.

Fortunately, he came here for Ye Ning'an.

But out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xiao Qing'er smiling.

Zhou Jingyao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and became somewhat interested in her.

This woman doesn't look simple. Although she looks gentle and gentle on the surface, the sharpness in her eyes cannot be deceived.

Seeing that Zhou Jingyao was interested in Xiao Qing'er, Xiao Qian couldn't help but be on guard.

He turned slightly to the side, blocking Zhou Jingyao's view of Xiao Qing'er.

"Our Emperor Gongguo has prepared a sumptuous dinner for you in the palace. All important people will be present."

"That's not bad."

Seeing the woman being blocked by Xiao Qian, Zhou Jingyao didn't get angry. Anyway, he noticed this woman. He stayed in Gongguo for a long time, so he had plenty of time to get to know her gradually.

Xiao Qian proudly introduced to Zhou Jingyao: "Because of your coming, as a token of welcome, the emperor specially ordered that all shops in the store sell at half price."

Zhou Jingyao scoffed when he heard this. If he wanted something, he would naturally get it with his own hands.

The so-called half price is really ridiculous.

But when he entered a shop and saw the price, his expression couldn't help but become very playful: "I don't know when the prices in Gongguo started to be so high. Even if it is half price, it is still this number."

Xiao Qian was a little confused, but when he saw the clearly marked price, his face turned livid.

"I've been asking you to change it to half price for a long time. Hasn't it been changed yet?"

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Your Highness, this is the price after half price."

Xiao Qian is not the kind of person who is industrious and indifferent to grains. He knew at a glance that there was something fishy about the price, but at this moment, he couldn't tell it in front of the regent.

He had no choice but to endure Zhou Jingyao's sarcasm.

But Xiao Qing'er couldn't help but curl her lips. It seemed that the depression of being called to greet the so-called regent early in the morning had disappeared at this moment.

Xiao Qian deliberately ignored the matter, but Zhou Jingyao seemed to suddenly be interested. He visited many stores in a row and found that the prices in each store were very high.
