The waste prince is so fierce

Li Quan examined the sample in Xiao Ting's hand, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

“Just maintain this quality and continue production.”

"Since everything is going well, I won't bother you any more. Just get on with your work."

Seeing that the soap production was going smoothly, Li Quan was ready to leave. However, Xiao Ting stopped short when he finished speaking.

"Hmm? Do you have anything else to say?" Li Quan asked curiously.

Xiao Ting nodded slightly, and with a little shyness, she presented a piece of soap carefully wrapped in a handkerchief to Li Quan.

"Your Highness, this is a new variety that I tried to make by chance. I found that it can not only clean stains, but also emits a light floral scent. I would like to invite you to taste it."

Li Quan took the soap and put it close to his nose to sniff it.

"Did you add nata flowers in it?" he asked, nata flowers are the jasmine flowers in ancient times.

Xiao Ting nodded in confirmation.

"I wonder if this soap with added paeonia lactiflora can be sold at a higher price?" she asked Li Quan tentatively.

Li Quan pondered for a moment and responded in a low voice: "This thing does have great potential, but now is not the right time. You can try to study how to make the fragrance of this flower more intense." He felt that the current jasmine scent was still a little light.

Xiao Ting's eyes flashed with excitement. After getting Li Quan's approval, she immediately responded: "Okay, I'll improve it right away!"

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is the day of the Wuwei County Fair. As soon as the sky gets light, people flock to the outskirts of the county.

Li Quan and Mingyue also joined the crowd under the protection of Li Pohuang.

"Why is the big fair in Wuwei County not held in the county, but everyone goes outside the county instead?"

Walking in the bustling crowd, Li Quan asked Li Pohuang curiously.

As a native of Wuwei, Li Pohuang explained: "Master, you don't know that today's fair is not just a Wuwei County fair, but a joint gathering of Wuwei County and the Huang Clan. Therefore, the venue was chosen to be Xihuang Town, which is close to the western border. At that time, not only will people from Liangzhou participate, but people from the Huang Clan will also come to trade."

After listening to Li Pohuang's explanation, Li Quan's curiosity grew.

"Are you saying that there will be some barbarians at today's fair?"

Li Pohuang nodded and confirmed: "Yes, the twentieth day of every month is the day of the gathering. Due to the scarcity of supplies, the Huang people often bring cattle and sheep to trade in exchange for our daily necessities. Because they often suffer losses in trade, some Huang tribes will think that we Dakang people are cunning and even use force to invade villages and towns in the western border."

Although Li Pohuang was only helping out in the army, he also heard a lot of stories about the Huang tribe from the veterans.

Li Quan suddenly realized that this was what was happening.

Trade exchanges across borders have not been uncommon at various times in history.

Sometimes, even two forces that are in fierce confrontation do not forget to maintain business relations.

"So, if you choose Xihuang Town as the venue for the big market, aren't you afraid that the people of the wilderness will cause trouble?"

Considering that the gathering place was quite close to the Huang Clan, Li Quan couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Mingyue seemed to see through Li Quan's concerns, and she said softly, "No."

She explained: "The monthly fair in Xihuang Town was jointly initiated and established by the top leaders of the Western Territory and the top leaders of the Huang Clan."

“Whether it’s the people of the Huang Clan or the people of Dakang, if they dare to cause trouble in Xihuang Town, they will be severely punished by the guards of Xihuang Town.”

Mingyue's explanation dispelled Li Quan's doubts.

In fact, even without Mingyue’s explanation, Li Quan could understand the reason.

The people of the Western Territory need the cattle, sheep and livestock of the Huang Tribe, and the Huang Tribe also need the necessities of life produced in the Western Territory.

If the market in Xihuang Town, the only way to obtain daily supplies, is destroyed, both sides will have to rely on looting to make a living.

Therefore, as long as the top leaders of the Huang Clan are rational, they will not allow their people to disrupt the grand fair in Xihuang Town.

Mingyue looked at Li Pohuang and asked curiously, "Pohuang, you grew up in Wuwei County. Have you ever been to the big market in Xihuang Town?"

Li Pohuang answered honestly: "No, I only heard about the Xihuang Town Fair from the military camp. I have never been there myself."

Hearing Li Pohuang's answer, Mingyue nodded slightly.

She turned to ask Li Quan: "You asked me to accompany you to this rally. Is there anything in particular you want to buy?"

Li Quan responded calmly: "No, I was just dragged here by you to relax."

Although he and Mingyue shared the same bed but had different dreams, he would always chat with Mingyue for a while before going to bed every night.

The two chatted aimlessly until one of them fell asleep first.

However, these past few days, Li Quan always came home late and fell asleep quickly as soon as he lay down.

This made Mingyue feel the tremendous pressure that Li Quan was under.

After listening to Mingyue's explanation, Li Quan was stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect that this nominal wife actually cared about him so much.

After all, although they were husband and wife in name, they were not actually husband and wife, and they had not even held a formal wedding.

"Huh? What's wrong with you?"

Seeing that Li Quan seemed to be distracted, Mingyue stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes.

Li Quan came back to his senses and said awkwardly, "Ah, nothing, I was just wondering how long it would take to get to Xihuang Town."

He made up an excuse.

"It's probably another hour's journey. If you feel tired, you can go on horseback."

Although the three of them were walking at the moment, Li Pohuang was leading a horse with him.

This is to prevent Li Quan or Ming Yue from riding horses if they get tired.

"No thanks." Li Quan refused.

He added: “The book that Mr. Li left behind is really useful.”

After practicing standing meditation for a period of time, Li Quan gradually felt that his energy became more abundant.

"How long have you been able to stand still?" Li Quan asked Li Pohuang curiously, knowing that he had some basic knowledge in martial arts.

Li Pohuang thought for a moment and replied, "Well, it can last about an hour."

Hearing this answer, Li Quan was slightly surprised. He had practiced for so many days and could barely last half an hour, but Li Pohuang had only practiced for three days and could last so long. But he did not show his surprise.

As the three chatted, they finally saw the three characters of Xihuang Town. Compared with the magnificent gate of Wuwei County, the entrance of Xihuang Town seemed quite simple. There were no tall city walls, and even the sign of "Xihuang Town" was just hung with two thick hemp ropes.

Although Xihuang Town looked small and a little run-down, Li Quan was shocked by the scene after entering the town. The streets were lined with stalls and people were coming and going, making it very lively.

"I never thought such a small market could attract so many people." Li Quan couldn't help but sigh.

Li Pohuang explained: "Because Xihuang Town is the only place in the Western Territory that trades with the Huang Clan, not only people from Wuwei County will come, but merchants from other counties will also come specially, so it looks like there are a lot of people."
