Chapter 237 This Market is Your Majesty's

Faced with the influx of children of the powerful and wealthy, Zhang Zhaozhong and Cai Gu remained unmoved and set even stricter standards for them.

You didn't join when I begged you before, and now you are begging to join, but it's a little too late.

Unless they are exceptionally good, we won’t take either of them.

Moreover, the two of them were only under the command of Lu Changjing and had also been reminded by Lu Changjing, so he was extremely strict in treating the children of these powerful and wealthy families.

This made them miserable, and they complained to their elders and even brought the matter to the court.

Lu Changjing turned a deaf ear to this. He was not a magnanimous person. At that time, everyone knew that the East Factory and the West Factory were established and commanded by him personally. Yet these people still made various excuses.

Now you want him to be flexible, but have you considered the emperor's face? Get out of my way.

Lu Changjing ignored these guys and withdrew from the court directly, leaving those guys who were shouting that the East and West Factories were unfair ashamed and speechless.

Ever since he took control of the imperial court, Lu Changjing found that he seemed to like attending court. The feeling of being able to decide the fate of countless people with just a single word was truly refreshing.

This is what a man should do!
Doing so can help one's thoughts become clearer, one's whole body feel refreshed, and one's cultivation progress can be faster. It does not affect one's cultivation, and can even help it.

When he returned to the imperial study, Lu Changjing couldn't help but smile when he thought of the regretful faces of those ministers who had previously looked down on the East and West Factories.

I just felt very happy. Although he was the emperor, it didn't mean that he didn't hold grudges, especially such a big thing.

More than half a month ago, these guys didn't give him any face at all. Now it's no wonder that he slapped them in the face. These guys deserved it.

In a trance, a light flashed in Lu Changjing's mind, and he entered a strange state called enlightenment.

With the sudden realization, the Imperial Dragon Step began to improve at an astonishing speed. Lu Changjing naturally immersed himself in it and began to perform the Imperial Dragon Step.

For a moment, the imperial study was filled with dragon shadows. There was no trace of Lu Changjing at all, and no one could find where he was.

Free, at ease, and happy, galloping freely in the sky and on the ground, it just fits my mood at the moment.

This sudden enlightenment lasted for a whole cup of tea. Although it has not yet brought the Imperial Wandering Dragon Step to perfection, it is enough to catch up with several years of hard practice.

The ability to have a flash of inspiration is really amazing, it's like cheating.

Lu Changjing felt the sudden increase in power of the Imperial Wandering Dragon Step and nodded with satisfaction. If he could have two or three more sudden realizations, he would probably be able to perfect the Imperial Wandering Dragon Step.

Unfortunately, even with the ability to have a flash of inspiration, it is not easy to achieve enlightenment.

This sudden realization not only improved his Huangji Youlongbu, but also gave Lu Changjing insights into other martial arts and secret techniques. After several hours, the marrow washing secret technique broke through the shackles and reached a minor level of success.

There is also the Imperial Sword Technique, which was advanced from the twenty-second level to the twenty-third level.

The effect of the secret technique of marrow cleansing at the minor success stage is much better than before. It can not only refine one's own talents and qualifications, but also the talents and qualifications of others, especially his loves.

Experiencing the feeling of his battle power soaring, Lu Changjing was also very satisfied and continued to practice and adapt. While Lu Changjing's strength had improved a lot, a huge market covering dozens of square kilometers had been built at the Ningshan border thousands of miles away.

Ningshan trade!

This is the name of the market. As the name suggests, it is the place where Daning and the mountain barbarians trade with each other.

It just opened today, but all the shops inside have been rented out and there is not a single vacant space.

The market hasn't opened yet, but there are already tens of thousands of people waiting outside, a small number of them are merchants, and most of them are customers.

The owner of this market belongs to Emperor Lu Changjing of Daning. King Rong Zongshun of the Southwest only holds half of the shares, and the other 95% belongs to Lu Changjing.

If it weren't for the fact that Rong Zongshun is his father-in-law, he would be needed to manage this place and he wouldn't even have half of the shares.

There are tens of thousands of shops, and the rent alone is an astronomical figure every month. Moreover, Lu Changjing will charge a 10% handling fee from various transactions, which adds up to an astonishing figure.

Even so, countless people still flock here, willing to trade.

The reason is simple: it is safe, reliable, and endorsed by the court. It is said that there is also the emperor behind it, which naturally makes people feel much more at ease.

Another reason is that, apart from here, trade between Daning and the mountain barbarians is prohibited in other places. If anyone dares to engage in a black market, it will be directly banned, all items will be confiscated, and the person will be imprisoned for treason.

Under such circumstances, Lu Changjing didn't believe that anyone would dare to go against him and had to set up a market or a black market somewhere else.

It’s good that it is established. It can be confiscated directly to fill Lu Changjing’s small treasury.

In order to better help the mountain barbarians, in the Ningshan trade, Daning mainly sells porcelain, silk, tea, glass products... As for salt, iron, natural treasures, elixirs, martial arts secrets and the like, let's just wait and see.

But the Mountain Barbarians don't have these things, so they can only exchange them with natural treasures, elixirs, martial arts secrets, rare minerals and the like. The Mountain Barbarian King Nan Fulong thinks this is fair.

By the way, the Mountain Barbarians don’t have many elixirs. After all, there are not many ordinary and spiritual alchemists, so they can only sell various natural treasures unique to the Fulong Mountains, and they are willing to delay the practice of their tribesmen for this.

However, after obtaining a large number of useful daily necessities, many mountain barbarians said that their lives were better and their quality of life had improved dramatically.

From now on, I no longer have to look at myself in the mirror by the water, nor do I have to drink mountain spring water. Tea tastes better, and I have silk to wear, which is much better than clothes made of vines.

They can even use porcelain for eating. Although it costs the natural treasures and various rare resources that they have collected with great difficulty, they think it is still worth it.

Daning is really their good friend. He has helped them improve their lives. They now have shoes to wear when walking in the mountains and forests, and no longer need to wear straw sandals.

Daning even sold a lot of grain and vegetables to them, so that many mountain barbarians who were starving could now have enough to eat. If this is not their good brother, then what is their good brother?

Even if we offer a lot of natural treasures, rare minerals, rare birds and animals from the Fulong Mountains... so what?

Didn’t you see that even their king was particularly satisfied with this, let alone them? The people of Daning are all good people.
