I really became a prince

For the next period of time, the entire territory of Prince Yi's Mansion was calm, and so was the entire Manghuang Continent.

Since the six-party forces reached a truce agreement, the nine borders of the western border, the place where the four wars have been fought since ancient times, have really achieved peace on the border.

Both sides on the border withdrew the main force stationed on the border, leaving only a patrol force of 2 people.

With the advent of border peace and the rapid development of border trade, the four commercial cities gradually took shape.

Due to the special geographical location, these four border trade cities are all in the territory of Prince Yi's Mansion.

The bigger one is naturally located in the Moyu Pass where Kongtong Mountain is located. This is the general turnover station for border trade. Whether it is going south to north, or east to west, all goods go here for turnover.

The second one is in the Kulik area north of Hanshan Pass, the third one is on the bank of Keke Lake outside Heishui Pass, and the fourth one is in the west of Shiwanda Mountain and the new territory of King Yi's Mansion.

If the goods from these three border trade cities want to enter the hinterland of Middle-earth through Demon Pass, they can only enter through Blackwater Pass.

Although the Hanshan Pass in the north and the Niangzi Pass in the south allow caravans to pass through, they are small caravans with only a few to a dozen people.

Think of those large commercial firms with hundreds or even thousands of people at every turn, they can only go through the Black Water Pass.

This commercial route was formulated by the commercial agency under Yiwang Mansion. Originally, according to their opinions, all caravans were not allowed to pass through Hanshan Pass and Niangzi Pass.

But after the memorial was sent to Kongtong Mountain, it was rejected by Jiang Yi

The original intention of the commercial agent office is not wrong. A unified commercial route can save the manpower and material resources of Prince Yi's mansion.

After all, there are countless caravans that pass through the pass every day. For safety reasons, troops must be stationed there. In addition, officials from the commercial office are required to manage it.

If only one Black Water Pass is left, a lot of manpower and material resources can be saved.

But what Jiang Yi considered was the large number of small traders and countless porters and traders.

Especially the porters and traders who run the border trade alone. These people are basically poor and make a sound. There are four or five members of a family, and even more rely on each other to support them.

Once there is any accident on the road, the sky of the whole family will collapse, and it will even be reduced to the point of selling children and daughters in the end.

Jiang Yi wanted to help within the scope of his ability, such as opening Hanshan Pass and Niangzi Pass specially for these people.

Commercial border trade is not a smooth journey, especially in the border areas beyond the three passes.

Even though it is in the territory of Prince Yi's Mansion, there are still thieves and bandits wandering around, who like to pick on weak caravans, especially these lonely porters and traders.

It's not that Jiang Yi never thought about eliminating these horse bandits completely, but it's not realistic at all.

And even if there were no horse thieves and bandits, they would still face black and white.In this vast and sparsely populated grassland, killing people and stealing goods is nothing more than normal.

And since ancient times, this has also been an iron and blood rule for border trade tours.I don't know how many vendors "mysteriously" disappeared on the prairie.

Jiang Yi has neither the ability nor the intention to change this situation. He can only provide protection for their last journey.

Under Kongtong Mountain, within the four passes, is an absolute forbidden zone for killing.No lawbreaker dares to kill people here.

As for the other four passes, Kongtong Mountain cannot completely control them.

Because of this, the four passes of Hanshan, Heishui, Niangzi, and Dongmoyu are also called "Ghost Gates" by small businessmen. Once entering and exiting, it may mean life and death.

Generally speaking, Kongtong Mountain gained a good reputation because of this commercial policy, especially among the lower class people.

Those big business firms are also happy to see their success.

Because once they entered the Blackwater Pass, they basically no longer needed guards, which saved them a lot of manpower and financial resources.

Because of this, the border trade business in western Xinjiang has developed extremely rapidly, bringing a lot of wealth to Kongtong Mountain, and at the same time making the economy of the territory of Kongtong Mountain extremely prosperous.

Of course, all of this benefits from the stable development environment of Kongtong Mountain.

The entire Manghuang Continent is also calm during this period of time, but this is only on the surface, but there are undercurrents surging in the dark.

After the border dynasties settled down, they began to concentrate on consolidating their secular imperial power, and competed fiercely with the four extraterrestrial sects.

The two sides fought with swords and swords, and the killing was in the dark.

Perhaps feeling some kind of urgency, the extraterrestrial sects in Middle-earth also began to intensify their penetration into the secular world.

At the same time, the four secular dynasties of Middle-earth saw the cruelty and bloodiness in the fight between the border dynasties and the four sects outside the world.

In order to protect herself, she began to make false appointments with sects outside the world, and secretly began to win over the imperial power.

The only exception is the Dali Dynasty.

The imperial capital of Dali still maintains a close relationship with the sect outside the world, which may be due to the reconciliation of Queen Ye.

But Jiang Yi always felt that it was not that simple. His "grandfather" was very ambitious, and he was probably planning something.

King Yi's Mansion in Kongtong Mountain also has a "Qiqi Hall", which is exactly the same as that of Prince Duan's Mansion in terms of architectural layout and arrangement of objects.

This "Xinqi Hall" is also the place where Jiang Yi usually supervises the official affairs of Prince Yi's residence.

Jiang Yi was sitting on the grand teacher's chair at the top of the Qiqi hall, in front of him was a book case full of simplicity. In addition to official documents, there was also a unicorn paperweight and a tiger head seal on the book case.

This book case is not an ordinary thing, it is exactly the book case made of hibiscus wood in Duan Wang's mansion.

Hibiscus wood is inherently fire, and it belongs to the same vein as the legendary sun real fire.

Whether it is to practice fire attribute techniques or to create exotic treasures, they are all excellent materials, extremely precious, and genuine treasures of heaven and earth.

Even if it is a small piece outside, it will be bloody.

When Xiaoqi Jiang Zhongshuo inherited the prince and sub-mansion of Prince Duan's mansion, Jiang Yi thought that it was the beloved of his nominal father, Prince Duan Jiang Lie, after all.

So they didn't take it away, but left it to Xiaoqi Jiang Zhongshuo, which can be regarded as fulfilling the inheritance of Prince Duan's mansion.

It's a pity that Jiang Zhongshuo made a wrong step, not only made his uncle evacuate Duanwang's mansion, but even planned to give this hibiscus wooden book case to Queen Ye as a meeting gift for changing the flag.

Seeing that his former younger brother had changed his family and there was no room for maneuver, Jiang Yi could only cut through the mess quickly and clean up the family.

This precious book case was also moved into the Xuanqi Hall of Prince Yi's Mansion by him.

Perhaps it was because the natal Wuxiang in his body was a big sun, the fire-attributed aura exuded by hibiscus wood made Jiang Yi feel very comfortable, and his whole body felt warm when he got close.

In particular, the second form of the natal Wuxiang, the three-legged Golden Crow, especially likes this hibiscus wood desk. When there is no one, Jiang Yi will reveal the three-legged Golden Crow and let him stand quietly on the desk.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Jiang Yi always feels that the three-legged Golden Crow is becoming more and more vivid and solid.

For Jiang Yi, this book case is very intimate, but it is different for others.

Including when he was in Prince Duan's mansion before, even though Prince Duan Jiang Lie liked this book case very much, he didn't dare to get too close, because the smell of fire emanating from it made people feel suffocated.
