It was already two o'clock in the night, and Sun Shangxiang's small building was still brightly lit. The maid set up another bed in Sun Shangxiang's bedroom. Xiao Qiao and Sun Shangxiang were sleeping against each other. Tonight, Liu Jing was going to accompany the princess Tao Zhan, so Sun Shangxiang pulled Xiao Qiao to sleep with him. Although it was late at night, Sun Shangxiang was very excited when she first met her old friend and could not sleep.

She was saddened by her mother's serious illness, and was angry at the division of Jiangdong, and even hated her brother to form an alliance with Cao Cao. She said angrily: "Why is my brother so stupid? He actually wants to form an alliance with Cao Cao. Isn't he going to make a fuss with the tiger? Isn't it okay for Sun Ben to always be ambitious, but why does Sun Shao's child also want to split Jiangdong? If he continues to do this, Jiangdong will be destroyed in their hands sooner or later."

Xiao Qiao was tired after a trip, but Sun Shangxiang was full of energy, so she had to force herself to cheer up and chat with her, "Sun Shao is just a child. He knows what Sun Shao treats him as a puppet, and the person who splits Jiangdong is Sun Shao."

"It's him, did that uncle agree?"

"I heard that I agreed."

Sun Shangxiang suddenly became anxious and said hatefully: "It's a good thing that he has lived so much. How could he agree to the split of Jiangdong? This will ruin the Sun family's foundation in Jiangdong."

"Anyway, the people in Jiangdong are panic now and they all say they want to fight, so I decided to come to your place to take refuge first, so don't drive me away."

"Hehe, I'll drive you away. You're going to be given to Cao Cao." Sun Shangxiang teased.

Xiao Qiao didn't expect Sun Shangxiang to know about this. When she changed her mind, she knew that it was Liu Jing who wrote the letter. She couldn't help but curse Liu Jing in her heart. She said angrily: "Your brother is blamed for this matter. He wants to send me someone to change food, but I also have to thank your husband. He saved me, so you will be even, otherwise I will insist on twisting your ears."

"Aqiao, what do you think of my husband?" Sun Shangxiang asked with a smile again.

Seeing that Sun Shangxiang's eyes were shining with light, Xiao Qiao was obviously expecting to say good things, so she smiled and said, "The King of Han is of course good. He is young, heroic, and rich and powerful. Any woman wants to marry him, but I think he is a little lustful."

The lustful Sun Shangxiang laughed and said, "You can say you can be greedy for profit and power. The only one in my family is not greedy. Look, he is only a wife and concubine. Cao Cao has a wife and concubine. My brother has dozens of elder brothers. There are at least five or six in ordinary wealthy families. My elder sister also asked his personal soldiers, and he was not greedy for women outside."

Speaking of this, Sun Shangxiang suddenly reacted and smiled and said in a low voice: "My family won't do anything to you, right?"

"No, I'm just joking with you. Although we live in the same boat, he has never harassed me before. In fact, I'm very surprised. With his status, if he wants to do anything to me, I really don't dare to refuse."

Sun Shangxiang sighed and said, "Aqiao, that's because you don't understand him. He is really different. He will not force others to do anything. A beautiful woman like you and is on the same boat with him. I think he must be very moved, but he will not force you. If you show a little unwillingness, then he will never touch you. You can say that he is proud, but his willpower is far from comparable to ordinary people. He is the most charming and courageous man I have ever seen."

"You said him so well"

Xiao Qiao also sighed softly. She had to admit that Sun Shangxiang was right. Since leaving Chaisang, Liu Jing seemed to have learned about her thoughts and never joked with her again. It turned out that he felt that he was cold to him, and Xiao Qiao couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"He is very good, giving me freedom and not restraining me. I also went to Qingcheng Mountain alone to visit, and he also greeted my mother for me. You don't know how grateful and love him in my heart."

Speaking of this, Sun Shangxiang's eyes were a little red. Xiao Qiao saw it and smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I know you married a good husband. I am very envious. OK."

Sun Shangxiang felt a little embarrassed. She remembered that Xiao Qiao was still single. She smiled with concern again: "A Qiao, I heard from Lingzun last time and planned to find another good family for you, congratulations."

Xiao Qiao's face slightly darkened, and she said unhappy: "My father is wishful thinking, so I ignore him. We have already argued about this."

"Then don't you want to remarry?"

Xiao Qiao hesitated for a moment before whispering: "Not yet. I actually want to marry again. But I don't like the people he is in touch. I want to marry a man I like, just like your husband."

Xiao Qiao immediately realized that she had lost her words and quickly explained: "I'm just making an analogy, don't get me wrong."

Sun Shangxiang was so smiling that she couldn't stand up. After a while, she stopped laughing and pointed at Xiao Qiao and panted: "I understand, you are in love with my husband."

Xiao Qiao's face was flushed, angry and anxious, and rushed up to scratch Sun Shangxiang's armpits, saying, "I told you to talk nonsense again."

Sun Shangxiang was so angry that she couldn't breathe, and begged for mercy. Xiao Qiao stopped scratching her, biting her lip and said, "No more, I heard it?"

Sun Shangxiang slowly calmed down for a long time and breathed a long sigh, "Oh my God, what day is today? I'll send another beauty to my husband."

Seeing Xiao Qiao making a move again, she quickly beg for mercy, "Sister Qiao, please spare me, I won't say anything."

Xiao Qiao lay down weakly and said angrily: "Forget it, I won't tell you anymore. I'm exhausted, so I'll go to bed first."

She turned sideways and ignored Sun Shangxiang, but for some reason, her mind was full of Liu Jing's appearance, and she felt a little regretful in her heart.

Sun Shangxiang silently looked at her back. Her woman's unique delicate thoughts made her realize that Xiao Qiao actually liked her husband very much, so she refused to come this spring.

"I'll interrogate that guy tomorrow," she thought to herself.

The next morning, Liu Jing did not rush to go to the government office, but instead dressed up as an ordinary person to come to Chengdu Nan City. He often told his subordinates that the most direct way to do a place is to inspect the market. From the changes in prices and the prosperity of the business, the economic situation of a place can be judged, and the economic situation is a mirror of the officialdom.

Liu Jing has been away from Chengdu for half a year. Within half a year, except for some major military and national decisions, he decided on the decision, and the rest of the trivial matters of government affairs were handed over to Pingzhangtai, and several ministers of Pingzhangtai negotiated and handled. Liu Jing was quite satisfied with this multi-ethnic system, which not only avoided the monopoly of the prime minister's power, but also solved the problem that the regime could operate smoothly when he was not in the same place.

Of course, this involves the division of monarchy and ministerial power. At the current stage, Liu Jing handed over most of the power except military power to Pingzhangtai, but after the unification of the world in the future, the monarchy and ministerial power will have to be re-divided, which is a later story.

After arriving at the gate of Nanshi, the carriage slowly arrived at the gate of Nanshi. Through the curtains, Liu Jing found that the excitement here was far more than that of Chaisang. It was crowded with people and the grand occasion was unprecedented. It was like a sacrifice to the gods of the society. Almost everyone was carrying large and small bags of goods in their hands. Some carriages carrying carriages were struggling in the crowd, and the driver lent them loudly.

At this time, the guard who accompanied Liu Jing whispered beside the carriage: "Your Highness, there are too many people, why don't you come again another day?"

"Just today"

Liu Jing pushed open the car door and walked out of the carriage. He dressed the same as Chaisang during his inspection, with a wide crown and a feather fan in his hand, his face and eyebrows were thick, and his beards were glued. It was completely different from his usual appearance. He looked like a middle-aged man. He shook the feather fan and walked towards the door calmly. Several guards hurriedly followed him.

When they walked into the gate, the market insiders were shoulder to shoulder. They could only follow the crowds and walked slowly across a stone bridge. On the other side of the bridge was a grain shop. There were more than a dozen baskets in front of the grain shop, filled with grains, each with prices. Liu Jing was concerned about white rice, which was the main grain of the Bashu people and the most expensive.

A wooden sign was inserted in the basket containing white rice, which said that the rice was 60 yuan. The guy next to him smiled and greeted him, "Do you want to buy rice?"

Liu Jing pointed to the card and asked, "I remember that in April, it was still 40 yuan for rice, but how did it increase to 60 yuan for rice?"

"The guests are really confused. It's time to celebrate the New Year, so of course everything is a little more expensive."

Liu Jing then realized that it was like this. The price of the New Year was a little more expensive. He asked again with a smile: "After the New Year, will the rice price return to 40 yuan for the rice dumplings?"

"Impossible"

The guy's head was shaking like a rattle, "It rose to fifty cents in June this year. It is impossible to return to forty cents of rice, and it is no longer possible to reduce it by ten cents at most."

"Why is this?"

Seeing that he was talking too much, the guy said impatiently: "Jingnan is fighting. Don't you know that when you fight, the price of grain will certainly increase. Fortunately, it only increased ten cents. If you fight in Hanzhong, it will at least increase to the money of rice. If you are in Bashu, the price will increase even more scary, just like when the Han king led his army to siege Chengdu that year, it rose to five cents of rice overnight, and I have not forgotten it."

"But the battle has been finished"

"I don't know this. Anyway, there is too much money on the market now, and if there is too much money, the price of grain will increase. This is natural. In fact, I doubt whether the price will be reduced next year. Hey, I'll ask whether you will buy it or not. What are you doing so much?"

Liu Jing was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he turned around and left the grain shop. He went to the cloth shop, butcher shop and mule and horse shop again. He found that except for the price reduction of livestock, most of the other items had risen. The price reduction was because cattle and horses from Longxi and Hexi entered Bashu in large quantities, and the price reduction was not small. A good horse cost 100,000 yuan last year, but this year it only costs 50,000 yuan, and the price of cattle was reduced by half.

This was encouraging news. Liu Jing was about to leave from the back door of Nanshi. At this time, Liu Jing suddenly found several men in black squatting on both sides of the back door. His eyes were flashing. Unlike the kind-hearted people, they looked for targets in the crowd from time to time, which made Liu Jing a little strange. Who are these people?
