After walking around the connected large yard, Zhao Xu made a decision.

The current royal palace is too small to accommodate too many things.

But the three yards combined are not small.

He could have placed the soon-to-be-established small government office in the royal palace.

The most important thing is.

The silver brought by ice making obviously could not meet his needs to build a fief.

As for how much profit can be brought by selling ice south, it is still unknown.

After all, ice making methods are too easy to leak. Before the technology is leaked, each company can make money back, and it would be good if it makes a little profit.

If the royal family wants to have a sustainable and generous income, they have to rely on other goods with abundant profits and difficulty in copying technology.

And if he wants to try these things, he naturally needs to have a place.

Similarly, the safest place is the royal palace.

Xu Lie ordered to send guards.

Zhao Xu returned to the royal palace and waited in the living room of the intermediate courtyard.

Soon, three young men entered the palace.

"In the lower house Dong An, Yang He, and Lu Chang, see Your Highness."

Three young men bowed and bowed.

"No gift." Zhao Xuxu dragged it for a while.

Among the three, Dong An was short and fat and white, wearing a blue satin brocade robe.

Yang He is tall and thin, wearing a yellow brocade dress.

Lu Chang was medium-sized, very strong, and wearing a purple robe.

"Your Highness, as the royal family invites you, my father should come here in person, but my father thinks that he will be the same age as your highness in the next few days and will speak better so that you will not get bored with them." Dong An explained.

"When Your Highness sent someone to come, I was in the Dong family. The Yang family paid some money in this yard. I came here bravely. I hope Your Highness will not blame you." Yang He added.

Lu Chang seemed to be more interested in Xu Lie in military uniform around Zhao Xu.

After the two of them finished speaking, they looked at Zhao Xu.

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhao Xu asked the servants to show the seats to the three of them.

I also asked my servants to serve tea.

He knew the thoughts of Dong, Yang and Lu families, and he wanted to use the convenience of young people to speak so that the children in the family would get along with Zhao Xu.

This is more effective than their appearance.

After eating tea, Zhao Xu did not go around the corner.

"I invite you all to come today. It's actually just a simple thing, that is, the yards on both sides of the palace. I am willing to buy them back at the original price. How about it?"

The three of them looked at each other after hearing this.

Dong An smiled and said, "It turns out that this is the matter. I can give the yard to the royal palace without taking any money."

Yang He and Lu Chang also nodded, "We are the same."

When the King of Yan first arrived in Yan County, they naturally would not value the Crazy King of Yan, so they dared to buy the yards on both sides of the royal palace.

At that time, they didn't spend much money, and the three families added up to only more than 8,000 taels.

Now that the King of Yan has returned to normal, how dare they use these two yards? It is better to give it to you as a favor.

"I'm so embarrassed." Zhao Xu pretended to give in, but he felt happy inside.

It seems that these three families have now made up their minds to establish a good relationship with the royal family.

In this way, his plan to win over and divide the wealthy families in Yan County will be fine.

"Hey, your highness, please accept it, otherwise we will be uneasy." Dong An was very good at talking and immediately showed an intimate attitude.

"There are the same." Lu Chang agreed again.

Yang He nodded.

Zhao Xu smiled, but he didn't expect that the matter would be solved so easily.

The four of them sat opposite each other and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Dong An suggested at this time, "I'll let the servants go back to pick up the land deeds in the courtyard. It's almost noon now, and the long summer is long and very boring. I wonder if Your Highness intends to go to Jinlin Pond in the North City to cool off the heat."

Zhao Xu wanted to refuse.

But when I think about it, I have not yet understood Yancheng since I came to Yan County, so I should go out for a walk, otherwise I would have become a resentful woman in the deep boudoir.

Moreover, he has become increasingly less optimistic about the situation in Yan County these days.

The three families of Zhang, Huang and Du are powerful, and the county magistrate of Yan County comes from the Zhang family.

The magistrate in Yan County who was responsible for the arrest of the criminal prison came from the Huang family.

What's more, the commander of the three thousand soldiers in Yan County was the Du family.

It is no wonder that these three families despise and hate the Yan Prince's Mansion so much.

If there was no Yan Prince's Mansion, they would be the local emperors of Yan County.

Therefore, in this case, it is more necessary for him to win over the three families of Dong Yang and Lu. According to his understanding, these three families in Yan County are considered white lotus compared to the Zhang family.

"Okay, I have this intention." Zhao Xu stood up.

When the three of them heard this, they all became excited.

In fact, they risked the offense of Zhang, Huang and Du families to get close to the Yan Prince's Mansion.

Originally, although there was a huge gap in the powers of the Yan County tyrants, there was not much difference.

Although everyone has been blushing because of their profits, they have not yet reached the point of never ending.

However, since Zhang Qian's brother Zhang Kang married the concubine of the Yuan family in Fanyang County, Yanzhou, Yan County has changed.

The Yuan family in Yanzhou is not the little wealthy family.

In addition to the governor of Yanzhou Prefecture who is a member of the Yuan family, there are five county magistrates of Yanzhou seven counties who are either Yuan's family or a disciple of the Yuan family.

There were also direct descendants of the Yuan family who served as officials and generals in the capital and Dasong Army.

Therefore, with the support of the Yuan family, the Zhang family was at its peak and easily won the power of Yan County with the Huang family and the Du family.

Since then, they have competed for profit and suppressed them in all aspects, and they have the intention of annexing their wealth.

Before the King of Yan came, they could only watch their own interests be damaged and there was nothing they could do.

But now, the King of Yan has returned to normal and they have found hope to protect their own interests.

The group left the palace and went to the street.

The scenery of Yancheng comes to you.

Among the seven counties in Yanzhou, Yan County is the poorest county.

It borders the Yanshan Mountains to the north, Fanyang County to the south, and some areas facing the sea in the southeast.

It is roughly equivalent to the area that combines the eastern part of Chengde, Hebei and western part of Tangshan.

Walking through Yancheng, Zhao Xu's eyes saw desolate eyes.

On the main street in the middle of Yan County, most of the people who were carrying goods were thin and could see clearly the ribs on their chests.

The clothes were similar to the people in the royal palace that day. They could not even be clothes, but rag strips.

On their faces, there was no smile, but full of suffering.

This is the living conditions of the people in ancient times of war and chaos.

In this era of low productivity and material scarcity, it is not easy to be able to live.

Dong An and the other two followed Zhao Xu, chatting and laughing wildly, without caring about the solemnity in Zhao Xu's eyes.

It seems to be commonplace with all this.

After walking a long road, I turned left and crossed a street.

At this time, Yancheng, which was covered with dark tones, suddenly became colorful and vivid again.

"Your Highness, the Golden Scale Pool has arrived." Dong An pointed to a long lake in front.

At this time, the sun was just right, and golden light was pouring on the water.

The breeze blows, and the lake surface looks like golden scales.

On both sides of the Golden Scale Pond, green willows are shaded by green attics, and red railings and green tiles are connected by one, with silhouettes coming from time to time.

In the lake, the pleasure boats were swaying, and as the bead curtains swayed, a woman in red and green clothes drank with the nobles.

"The people of Yan County are eating soil, but the wealthy families of Yan County are singing and dancing to peace." The strong contrast between the front and back made Zhao Xu feel that he had eaten a fly.

His fiefdom must not be a playground for a few people.

As the King of Yan, he must be worthy of his people, otherwise what is the difference between him and these wealthy families?

To achieve this grand plan, he must control Yan County as soon as possible and plan the fiefdom according to his own ideas.

But the prerequisite for controlling Yan County is that he must have a strong army and also have huge wealth to carry out construction.

"Silver or silver."
