Then they transported their own away and went to various cities in the north.

Not long after, everyone panicked when they heard that there was another problem with the official salt transported to the northern cities, and that Donghai City had no salt supply for the time being.

Salt is the main component to maintain the normal metabolism of the human body. If you can't eat salt for a long time, you will suffer from edema and fatigue.

The man is edema and weak, and he has no strength to work in the field and support the family, so the family will have no way to live on.

The common people who heard the bad news first started snapping up private salt, fearing that if they were too late, the price of private salt would soar to sky-high.

But salt merchants are not vegetarians either. After hearing that the official salt was once again swallowed by the canal, the price of salt soared again.

Unscrupulous salt merchants would rather hoard their goods than sell them for huge profits.This further caused the panic among the people and raised the price of salt to a higher level.

And the one counting the money with a smile was Ling Zhongqing.

This time he made more money than the previous few times. In less than half a month, he earned [-] million taels of silver.

Because Ling Qingyue had lost 3000 million taels before, and he didn't have much left, so this time, he took out 1000 million taels out of the 9000 million taels, and the remaining [-] million taels must belong to the prince.

As soon as she entered the capital, Yun Yue saw a large palace-style building standing proudly on the top of Yunling in the distance.

The capital is called Yunling City. She came here when she was a child when she went home with her mother to visit relatives.

In modern times, she would go to the capital every now and then to handle errands.The palace in Beijing is considered to be relatively intact, but compared with the huge palace of the Northern Kingdom in the Phantom Continent, it still gives people a feeling that it is insignificant.

King Xuan and his party returned to the capital, although they did not specifically report it, but many accompanying officials would write letters home, so the news of King Xuan's return to Beijing spread like wildfire, and everyone who followed this matter knew about it.

Back in the capital, Chi Yan and the officials exchanged happy cooperation and let them go home.

After the officials left, Chi Yan prepared to accompany Yun Yue back to Zuo Xiang's house.

Three days ago, they had already written a letter home to Prime Minister Zuo, who believed that Prime Minister Zuo was already ready to welcome the two grandchildren back home.

However, as soon as the officials left, Prince Bei Mingqi came riding a fine horse, under the escort of his personal guards.He said with a smile on his face, "Third brother, long time no see!"

Just as Chi Yan was about to speak, he was robbed by the prince.

"Hey! Third, it seems that I have gained a lot from a trip to Jizhou. Even my face looks much rosier than before. What's the good news? Can you tell Brother Wei?"

"I haven't seen you for a long time, and the eldest brother has become a lot more interesting!" Chi Yan smiled, neither humble nor overbearing.

"Where is there!" After finishing speaking, he saw the carriage behind him and asked, "Who is sitting in this carriage?"

"It's the two grandsons of Prime Minister Zuo." After finishing speaking, Chi Yan said into the carriage: "Brother Ye, Yue'er, come out and meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

After finishing speaking, Yun Yue stepped out of the carriage with the support of Ling Xiye, and together with Ling Xiye, they bowed towards Beiming and said: "See Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Seeing this, Bei Mingqi immediately got off his horse and helped Yun Yue, who was half lying down, get up.

"Young Master Ling, Miss Ling, you don't need to be too polite. Although we have never met before, we often hear the left minister mentioning you two. In this way, we are also old acquaintances."
