I really became a king.

Chapter 493 Commercial Supervision Office
One order after another was issued from Kongtong Mountain, and the vast drought-stricken land was incorporated into the territory of Prince Yi's Palace.

All those who were secretly paying attention to this matter could not help but sigh inwardly that Prince Yi's Mansion acted too quickly, and before all forces could react, they had already completed their layout in the red drought land.

The first is the East Demon Realm Pass, the only passage connecting the Red Drought Land and Kongtong Mountain, which is guarded by the Royal Army Camp.

Then came Heshuo, where Mao Wenhuan led an army of 100,000 from the Military Office and stationed there.

Further north, near Xuantong Prefecture in Dali, is the headquarters of Chi Lie’s “Hanzuying”.

At the northernmost end of the Red Dry Land, it is also the most intricate.

The Quanshi Dynasty, the Northern Frontier Mu Family, the secluded sect Futu Mountain, the Dali Dynasty, and the Prince Yi's Palace, there are five forces on the bright side that converge here.

A slight disturbance can lead to a world-shaking melee.

So after some consideration and weighing of the pros and cons, Jiang Yi set up the Shen Ce Mansion's Xingwu Yamen here.

The main purpose is to deal with Futu Mountain and prevent the other party from causing trouble in the red drought area.

The power of Prince Yi's Mansion went eastwards through the Demon Realm Pass. All the arrangements were very gentle and even carried out in secret, but they still had a significant impact on the surrounding situation.

For example, the small gangs of bandits that had been active in the drought-stricken land for many years had to make a choice at this time.

Either choose to surrender to Prince Yi's Palace in Kongtong Mountain; or choose a stronghold in the red drought land.

As for choosing the Hard Fortitude Palace, no one would be so stupid.

So after Chi Lie issued the order in the camp to "disband all bandits within a certain period of time", many bandits chose to obey this order.

Others who did not want to be dismissed chose to leave this drought-stricken land.

Some wanted to make a career, so they went north to join the military government. Some other bandits went south and entered the drought-stricken areas within the Xiqi Dynasty.
Seeing that Prince Yi's Palace had straightened out the rule of the drought-stricken land in a short period of time and solved the "bandit" problem that had troubled the Dali Dynasty, many people felt jealous, but not very surprised.

The reason why Prince Yi’s Mansion has such a strong deterrent effect among the bandits is because of the “Youfeng Cavalry”.

The battle in which the three thousand "Youfeng Riders" appeared frightened all the bandits.

Before, they relied on the means of survival accumulated over the years in the drought-stricken land to roam across this land, leaving the Dali Dynasty helpless.

But the appearance of "Youfengqi" ended it all.

Even if Youfeng couldn't ride out on horseback, the fierce soldier battalion equipped with black-maned war wolves was enough to make them nowhere to hide, so they had no choice but to compromise.

In addition to the bandits in the red drought land, the Yun family in Heshuo City was also the most affected.

Previously, the Yun family almost went bankrupt due to business mistakes. Fortunately, the "Ninth Girl" of the Yun family who married Jiang Zhongshan returned home in glory and resolved the crisis for the Yun family.

Later, he took advantage of the power of Prince Duan's Mansion to regain the position of the richest man in Heshuo. However, after the ups and downs, the Yun family kept a very low profile.

Later, Prince Yi's Palace fell out with the Dali Imperial Capital and was parachuted into Western Xinjiang.

The Heshuo Yun family knew very well that they were in the same boat with Prince Yi's Mansion. They could not bear the revenge from the Dali Imperial Capital, so they decisively moved their entire family to the Demon Realm Pass.

I originally thought that I would never be able to return to my hometown Heshuo in the short term, but I didn't expect that in just over three years, Heshuo City would be under the jurisdiction of Prince Yi's Mansion.

Their Yun family also returned to Heshuo City with the great power of Prince Yi's Mansion.

The old man of the Yun family, Yun Shang, did not practice martial arts. He was already over 90 years old. The first thing he did when he returned to the Yun family's ancestral home was to sell 90% of the Yun family's assets.

Only the core industries were left to support the family's expenses, and a large number of Yun family members were sent to the military offices in the north. The Yun family became more low-key than before, wishing they could disappear from everyone's sight.

However, Jiang Yi did not let Mr. Yun get his wish. He issued an edict to Heshuo, ordering Yun Gang (son of Yun Shang) to set up the Yi Wang Mansion Commercial Supervision Office to manage all commercial activities in the area under the jurisdiction of the Yi Wang Mansion.

Because of its geographical location, Prince Yi's Mansion controls the two most important trade routes of the Wild Continent, east-west and north-south. And now, the Yun family is the direct manager of these two trade routes.

In addition, all commercial activities in the area under the jurisdiction of Prince Yi's Palace were also under the jurisdiction of the Supervisory Yamen.

For a time, the Heshuo Yun family became very popular and their home was crowded with people.

Yun Shang, the old man of the Yun family, couldn't help but sigh to the sky.

The Yun family is lucky to be valued by Prince Yi, but fortune and disaster go hand in hand. Once the Yun family accidentally loses themselves in the power that suddenly comes to them, it will be a catastrophic disaster.

So the first thing Yun Shang did after receiving the news was to write a handwritten letter to his eldest granddaughter Yun Jiu.

Yun Jiu, who was in the Western Frontier Demon Realm, felt embarrassed after receiving his grandfather's handwritten letter.

As Jiang Zhongshan's wife, she has been living a secluded life in recent years. She basically never goes out unless there is something important and is very low-key.

She understood the meaning of her grandfather's handwritten letter. Originally, she had no intention of showing up, but she could not resist the pleading tone between the lines of her grandfather's letter.

He had no choice but to go find Jiang Yi, but just as he reached the gate of Prince Yi's Mansion, before he could find someone to report, he saw a figure coming out of the gate of Prince Yi's Mansion.

"Ms. Xue'er, are you going out?"

Jiang Xue was carrying a basket and was thinking about something. When she heard the greeting, she looked up and her eyes lit up. She bowed slightly and said with a smile:
"Mrs. Yun, are you here to see my aunt?"

Yun Jiu shook his head: "No, I want to talk to the prince about something. Is the prince in the mansion?"

Jiang Xue nodded: "Yes, yes, that is..." Then she looked around and walked forward and whispered: "I'm afraid I don't have time to see Madam Yun now. The little princess's matter has not been settled yet..."

After saying that, he pointed towards the north.

Yun Jiu understood. She also vaguely heard news that someone was coming from the north. It was said that they were holding an order from the person from the northern border to punish the little princess. It was indeed not convenient to disturb them at this time.

"Then I'll go back first and come back later."

Yun Jiu was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Jiang Xue.

"Mrs. Yun, Xue'er has a difficult problem that she can't make up her mind about. You might as well help me think about it..." As he said that, he pulled her to a secluded place nearby.

Yun Jiu was pulled to the side and didn't care.

If it were an ordinary maid, she would definitely not dare to do this. But Jiang Xue in front of him was a true disciple of Dongxutai from a secular sect. Although she was just a maid, Yun Jiu did not dare to look down on her.

"Madam Yun, the prince wants me to study the magical arts again. What do you think I should do?" Jiang Xue looked worried.

Yun Jiu was stunned. The person in front of him was previously practicing otherworldly magic, but at the Dharma Conference, all his skills were destroyed by his sixth brother.

Why does Sixth Brother want me to practice the secular arts again now?

Then she thought of something. It must be that her sixth brother was planning to set up a sect outside the world. She sighed in her heart. She knew what Jiang Xue was thinking. She was completely focused on her sixth brother.

Moreover, over the years, she had become accustomed to serving her sixth brother as an ordinary maid. It was inevitable that she felt a little hesitant when she suddenly had to learn the art of seclusion again.
