Are you all after the heroine? I married that female devil

Yan Ci's heart skipped a beat. Why did these words sound so familiar to her?

Outside the palace.

Huang Lie, who was waiting in the carriage, noticed that his young master had come out of the palace. He reached out to open the curtain, but his view was blocked by two palace carriages.

He watched helplessly as his young master walked out and got on one of the cars, followed closely by His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu.

Two carriages set out from the prince's residence, one after the other, and headed straight for the imperial palace.

"this..."

Huang Lie was stunned. Why did this scene look so familiar?

The last time our young master mentioned the pirates, he seemed to be taken to the palace by His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

Evening time.

Two royal carriages left the palace and returned to the palace.

Regarding the economic cooperation organization, the old man agreed, but the scope of his authority was limited to Jingzhou and could not be expanded privately, and the main positions of the organization must be appointed by the court.

Shen Yian guessed that the old man would do this, but there was nothing he could do. Once such an economic organization grew strong and spread everywhere, it would be in disguise to control the economic lifeline of Daqian. Once something went wrong, it would be a catastrophe.

Yan Ci also understood this, but she was more worried that once those chambers of commerce heard that the entire economic organization was under the management of the court, they would refuse to join and would unite to resist.

Shen Yian expressed his understanding of Yan Ci's worries but said they were unnecessary.

The economic organization they set up is not a bandit organization. They will not blackmail you for no reason, nor will they rob your entire caravan.

In essence, it is an organization that manages and protects caravans, where everyone benefits from each other, cooperates for mutual benefit, and promotes economic development.

If you don't join, you won't be able to enjoy some of the preferential treatment. Time and events will make these chambers of commerce realize the benefits of the entire organization, and eventually they will all fight to get in.

Shen Yian frowned for a moment, then quickly relaxed.

This organization will eventually further weaken the influence of the major chambers of commerce.

As mentioned before, the three major chambers of commerce are almost defunct in name only.

Bei'an Chamber of Commerce is considered to be our own.

Tianhai Chamber of Commerce is almost completely controlled by the old man.

After the Murong family's Tianfu Chamber of Commerce suffered a heavy loss last time, it was unable to turn over funds. Many of its industries were swallowed up by the other two major chambers of commerce, which seriously damaged its vitality. It has already tightened the size of its caravans.

I wonder what the old man’s plans are with this economic organization.

Back to the topic, the name of this economic organization is tentatively named [Shanghe], which will be led by the imperial court and Tianhai Chamber of Commerce, and Beian Chamber of Commerce will follow up at an appropriate time.

As for the "leader", Shen Yian glanced at Yan Ci. The specific position framework has not yet been released. It will take some time to plan further to avoid any loopholes during implementation.

But the old man should have understood what he meant. Yan Ci would most likely sit in this position.

The last thing was the batch of “sea food” that he had fished up from Yunlonggou.

His explanation for this was that he had a friend who had a treasure-hunting ship. He accidentally found a lot of treasures at sea that were very valuable, and he wanted to sell them through the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce for money.

Upon hearing this, Yan Ci readily stated that their Tianhai Chamber of Commerce should be able to take over this batch of goods, and the price would definitely satisfy them.

Shen Yian thought about it and decided that if he took out all of it at once, the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce might not be able to consume it all. It would be better to do it in batches and there was no need to rush.

The two men discussed the issue of "sea goods" more quickly and smoothly than the issue of economic organization.

After discussing the details, it was already completely dark. Out of courtesy, Shen Yian invited Yan Ci to stay for dinner before leaving. As a result, the other party did not hesitate to agree.

There's nothing we can do. They are guests. We can't just invite them and then chase them away.

Later, Huang Lie who was waiting outside was also invited into the palace.

At the dining table, master and servant Yan Ci and Huang Lie looked at each other.

"Young Master, where is His Royal Highness the King of Chu?" Huang Lie asked puzzledly.

"His Highness said he had something important to do and he had to go to the palace..."

Yan Ci sighed helplessly.

"What about the princess?"

Huang Lie asked again.

"have no idea..."

Yan Ci was stunned. Yes, where did Ye Liyan go?

Could it be that His Highness went to accompany the other party?

Did something happen to the other party?

Three questions lingered in Yan Ci's mind.

"So, young master, what should we do?" Huang Lie asked with a wry smile.

"Since His Highness is inviting you and me to a banquet, let's eat."

Yan Ci came back to his senses, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he picked up the chopsticks to pick up the food.

If I get up and leave now, I would be giving others no face, so I must eat and drink enough.

It was also her fault. She just accepted the request because the other person was being polite.

the other side.

"So you just left them there, sir?"

In the room, Ye Liyan had a silly look on her face and said in silence.

This is a bit too rude.

"Don't worry, I'll tell them I have something to do in the palace, and I'll make sure to eat and drink well. I'll go after they finish eating."

"Come, eat more and replenish your body."

Shen Yian used chopsticks to pick up some food for Ye Liyan.

Ye Liyan had just finished her energy training and was not suitable for such an occasion. If she did not show up, she would have to find a reason to explain.

The main reason was that he was worried that Ye Liyan would be alone in the room and if she felt unwell, he would not be able to notice it in time, so he just did it.

"But my husband, this is not a good idea."

Ye Liyan was a little worried, afraid that because of her, there would be a rift in the cooperative relationship between the two parties.

"it does not matter."

Shen Yian shook his head and smiled, telling Ye Liyan not to worry.

As long as he doesn't fall from power, the relationship between you will not deteriorate. Instead, he will try every means to curry favor with you, hoping to maintain the relationship between you. Power is often so tempting.

An unknown amount of time had passed before the master and servant on the other side had already eaten and drunk their fill.

"Master, shall we go?"

Huang Lie looked around.

"No, wait until His Highness comes back."

Yan Ci shook his head.

As she expected, the two of them drank some tea and waited for His Royal Highness the King of Chu to enter the palace.

"I'm sorry Miss Yan, I've kept you waiting for so long. I wonder if the food here suits your taste."

Shen Yian walked over with a smile.

The two of them stood up quickly, and Yan Ci bowed and said, "Your Highness is so polite. It is our honor to be treated to such a grand banquet by Your Highness."

Shen Yian glanced at the table and said with a smile: "I am sorry for being rude this time. Next time we have a chance, I will definitely have a few more drinks with Miss Yan."

"Yan Ci feels honored."

After saying the polite words, Shen Yian escorted the two of them out of the palace.

"Your Highness."

Yin Zai suddenly appeared beside Shen Yian and reported the content of their conversation. The other party was mainly curious about some things.

Shen Yian was not surprised by this. If Li Yan did not show up, they would definitely be confused.

Let them be confused, but you can't stop them from even having curiosity.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"This is the responsibility of my subordinates."

After the hidden disaster retreated, Shen Yian returned to the room. After dispersing his energy, it was time to practice his skills again.
