1027 Chapter 1027-city-wide operation

Gu Hui was completely unaware of Peng ze’s thoughts. She did what she was supposed to do every day and was very calm.

Occasionally, er Jing and the princess would tease her, but she would only smile and not say much.

Soon, it was the tenth day.

The five neighboring countries all knew that the new county Magistrate of the great Zhou’s kun city was planning to hold the Lantern Festival.

This year, the trade area would be opened on that day. From now on, the trade area would be open all the time. You could enter the city to do business, but you would have to pay a security deposit before you entered. If you caused trouble in the city, the security deposit would not be refunded, and you would never be able to step into kun city.

Many merchants were getting restless.

Their own country also held lantern festivals, but they always lacked the flavor. It was not as lively as the ones in great Zhou!

Therefore, there were many merchants from the five neighboring countries who planned to come to kun city for the Lantern Festival. The royal families wanted to come, but they didn’t dare to, for fear of being caught by the Peng family. They could only send their own people to take a look and go back to tell them about the lively Lantern Festival.

Among the people of these kingdoms, except for the kingdom of goddess, which had always been independent, the other four kingdoms were established by the officials or generals of the previous dynasty who had retreated to the corners and gathered troops.

Unfortunately, except for the Xing Nan country, which was the closest to the capital, none of these countries could enter the territory of the great Zhou through other passes. The only way was to enter kun city and trade with the merchants of the great Zhou.

The royal family of the great Zhou had always been very strict with the other countries. If you want to enter the great Zhou, sure. The tribute paid every year is enough to take more than half of your National Treasury.

Their ancestors also knew about the Lantern Festival, but they just couldn’t do the feeling that was recorded in the books. They also wanted to experience it for themselves!

……

Gu shouxin asked the bailiffs to stop the commoners from holding the lanterns.

If the commoners did not have the materials, the Yamen would provide them. During the Lantern Festival, the Yamen would take back half of the money the commoners earned from selling the lanterns.

It was almost the entire city.

Every household, big and small, was tying up their hair.

Gu shouxin divided the Yamen runners into groups. Half of them patrolled the area normally, while the other half went to the trading area and the Peng mansion to set up lanterns.

The Yamen set an example and placed some large lanterns in conspicuous positions.

Gu Nian did not join in the fun. Other than training, she continued to do her research. Every day, Gu Xin would call Gu si and Cheng Huaiyu to see the arrangement of the lanterns.

Sun Yumei and her men were rushing to make the embroideries that would be sold. This time, it was not just handkerchiefs and purses, but also fans and small screens.

Cai Xiaolian told sun Yumei that on the day of the Lantern Festival, she would personally go and see how the other party would negotiate the price if they wanted a long-term cooperation.

He was basically teaching sun Yumei how to do things step by step.

On the tenth day of the new year, Hua shiniang could not take it anymore and came to the Yamen to ask for advice.

She missed the song that Gu Xin and Gu si played that day so much.

In the end, she didn’t see Gu Xin and Gu si when she came over. It was Cai Xiaolian who personally received her.

Cai Xiaolian called sun Yumei out. This matter had to be resolved eventually.

Hua shiniang was a woman in her 20s. She was dressed like a woman. This was her first time visiting the county office after living in kun city for so many years. She was here to see the wife of the county Magistrate, who was from a completely different world.

The apprehension he felt when he came gradually disappeared after seeing Cai Xiaolian and talking to her for a while.

That was because Cai Xiaolian had told her about the other developments in worry-solving Pavilion.

None of the women in the brothel wanted to do such a business. They were all forced to do so. Hua Shiyi was so excited that she was speechless when she suddenly found out.

“Why would Madam Gu help us?” she asked after she had calmed down.
