did not sort out and write the memo, this matter is a secret of the empire, Yuan Fang is not at ease to tell Yang Xing in the form of a recital, this kind of thing, it is safer to talk to him in person. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Things have to be done one by one, the next morning, Yuan Fang ran to the palace, and told him about the air force plan in Yang Xing's dormitory, Yang Xing was very curious and a little suspicious of things that could fly into the sky with people, but seeing what Yuan Fang said, Yang Xing still chose to believe in Yuan Fang as before.

After some deliberation and discussion, Yang Xing was even more looking forward to Yuan Fang explaining the importance of the Air Force, but there were a lot of things at the moment, and neither Yang Xing nor Yuan Fang could spare time, so the two decided to wait until the current matter was solved before starting this great plan.

After accompanying Yang Xing and Xiaomei to eat a breakfast that was quite shabby for the prince, Yuan Fang left with a trace of distress, and the various official offices were in a mess, and he also went to the Plum Blossom Chamber of Commerce, and then in the next few days, Yuan Fang stayed in the mansion to meet those merchants, intentionally or unintentionally revealed some words about the auction, so that they could prepare, in other words, let them bring enough silver.

For the auction process revealed by Yuan Fang, those businessmen are looking forward to it, especially the three-day tour of the palace that Yuan Fang said, which is far more attractive than the auction itself.

Time passed day by day, and finally, the auction was held as scheduled, and before dawn, Yuan Fang came to the palace with Sang Rou, Jieyue, Ouyang Xianxue and Huo Bingyan, and borrowed two hundred female soldiers from Yuqing to help, and it took a long time to get ready.

To put it bluntly, this auction is to circle money for the empire, so Yuan Fang showed considerable courtesy to these merchants.

At the door of the crown prince, Yuan Fang took the female soldiers who temporarily served as salute soldiers to greet them in person, and the businessmen came as scheduled, they were quite satisfied with such a scene, and they all felt very face-saving, not to mention anything else, it was this grand welcome ceremony Their entrance fee of 1,000 taels was not spent in vain, and it was worth the money.

The merchants arrived, the palace band played the national anthem of the Dongsheng Empire, Yuan Fang and a group of female soldiers marched and saluted, and the businessmen saluted, and the atmosphere changed from the previous relaxation to solemn and serious, which made those businessmen a little surprised, but one by one they were even more excited, looking at the slowly rising national flag, the blood in their hearts seemed to be ignited, and some businessmen left tears of excitement, because, this time the national flag was raised because of their existence, because they were a member of the Dongsheng Empire.

After the flag-raising ceremony, Yuan Fang took a deep breath to calm the excitement in his heart, and invited a group of businessmen to enter the palace with a smile, of course, not just anyone can enter, in addition to those rich businessmen, the most suitable can only bring one or two relatives or servants to go in together, of course, these places also cost money, originally, some businessmen were still distressed about the silver and planned to go in alone, but after the flag-raising ceremony, they changed their minds at the moment, and decided to take the important people in the family to see and see, after all, Yuan Fang's courtesy, even if they let them take out more silver, they are willing.

This time, Yuan Fang planned to do a big job, so there were as many as forty or fifty wealthy businessmen invited, plus their relatives and entourage, adding up to about one hundred and fifty people.

According to Yuan Fang's request, Yu Xiaolou, the captain of the Praetorian Guard, ordered someone to open the gate of the imperial city, which is such a etiquette only when greeting important people, according to the rules, these merchants are far from qualified, but Yuan Fang's order and Yang Xing's support made the gate of the imperial city open for businessmen for the first time.

Although the merchants had never entered the palace, they had inquired about the palace during this time, especially various etiquette, for fear that their negligence would lose face, so when they saw the gate of the imperial city open and Yuan Fang stood by the door to invite them, those merchants were almost stunned, and then, their hearts were filled with deep gratitude and pride, grateful to Yuan Fang for his courtesy, and proud that they could enter the palace from the gate of the imperial city.

Seeing the excited expressions of the merchants, Yuan Fang secretly laughed, and gave Sang Rou and other Sang Rou in the imperial city a look, Sang Rou and other Sang Rou in the imperial city closed and beckoned, more than a dozen delicate-looking palace maids dressed in uniform maid costumes appeared on both sides of the road, and neatly placed some of the prepared trinkets on the long table covered with flannel.

Yuan Fang took the small red flag handed by Yuyue and waved it, and said loudly: "Everyone, the palace is important, it is forbidden to make loud noises, and it is not allowed to trespass at will, so everyone, don't run around, you must follow me, otherwise it will be very troublesome if you are caught by the patrolling guards, even I may not be able to save it, everyone is here to see, and I don't want to cause trouble in vain, so everyone must obey the arrangement in the past three days and two nights." The wealthy businessmen knew that Yuan Fang was not talking about it, and they all said that they would definitely abide by the rules.

Yuan Fang was very satisfied with the humble cooperation of these merchants, and led the way with a small flag and said: "Everyone, please come with me, the first battle is the gate of the imperial city, of course, you have all seen it here just now, but that is just the appearance, now, I will take you up to the city wall to see where these conscientious Praetorian Guards usually stand guard." As he spoke, he took the lead and walked to the nearest boarding road to the gate of the Imperial City, and led a group of merchants to climb the not tall but far-reaching walls of the Imperial City.

Unlike ordinary city walls, the walls here are not wide and not very high, but the tightness of the defense is far beyond other places, especially some of the weapons that defend the city, such as heavy crossbows, such as car crossbows, such as small trebuchets, etc., plus the military purge of the Praetorian Guard, a sense of slaughter permeates the city, which these merchants have never seen before.

Outside the imperial city, a group of merchants' entourage and their families, as well as many people who came to join in the fun, saw the merchants ascend to the city, and cast envious glances, and some of the merchants' relatives were proud and kept waving their hands.

The merchants on the city wall looked at everything on the city wall curiously, gathered in groups of three or five to point at a certain thing, discuss and study its function and use, of course, they did not dare to go too far, they were careful to keep their voices down, and as far away as possible from the Praetorian Guards on duty, for fear of disturbing each other.

Yu Xiaolou followed Yuan Fang a little reluctantly, explaining some of the facilities in the city according to Yuan Fang's requirements, and listened to the amazement and admiration of the merchants.

When Yu Xiaolou gave a detailed introduction to the range and basic structure of a small ballista, Yuan Fang said loudly: "Everyone, do you see the target of the open space under the city?" If anyone wants to feel the power of the ballista, they can sign up, and I can arrange for you to shoot it yourself. ”

When the businessmen heard this, there was a commotion, and a fat man named Wang Fugui asked, "Lord Yuan, can you really try it?" How much silver do you need? ”
