Anyi, the center of the Hedong Plain, is the capital of Wei, the most powerful country in the world.

Since the last time the Zhao-Han coalition troops came to the city, Anyi has not suffered a large-scale war for more than ten years.

On the contrary, the successive great victories achieved externally, and the resulting improvement in Wei's status, gave this already prosperous city a bit more atmosphere.

Walking on the streets of Anyi, looking at the busy flow of people in front of and behind him, a middle-aged man wearing a red robe could not hide his smile.

"Shen'er, you have traveled frequently to various places in the Central Plains in the past two years, and have also arrived in Linzi in the east."

"In your opinion, in terms of prosperity, how does Anyi compare to Luoyi or Xinzheng? How does it compare to Linzi on the coast of the East China Sea?"

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, a young man in his early twenties standing next to him quickly bowed and bowed.

"Enlightenment..."

"well!"

As soon as the young man's words came out, the middle-aged man's face immediately showed a bit of blame, and a long sound came out of his mouth.

Hearing this reminder and seeing the middle-aged man looking at him, the young man immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"Oh, Father."

After quickly changing his words, the young man looked at the middle-aged man next to him, and his eyes returned to the pedestrians around him.

"Father, my son thinks that in terms of prosperity, although Anyi is a little better than Xinzheng, it is not as good as Luoyi and Linzi."

When the middle-aged man heard this conclusion from the young man, he looked at him with some interest in his eyes.

"Luoyi is located at the center of the world. In the past hundreds of years, it has been the royal territory of the Zhou Dynasty, and its status is even higher than Anyi."

"Coupled with the declining authority of the Zhou Dynasty emperor, merchants from all over the world were less constrained in their transactions in Luoyi City, and were naturally more prosperous than Anyi."

The young man's voice fell, and the middle-aged man still did not speak, but continued to look at him.

"The State of Qi is located on the coast of the East China Sea, and it firmly occupies the advantage of fishing and salt."

"In addition, Qi State has attached great importance to commerce since the time of Guanzi. Although it has experienced changes in political power for hundreds of years, its national policy has never changed. Its commerce is naturally more developed than Anyi."

After the young man finished his analysis, he saw that the middle-aged man's face had turned from joy to anger, and a bit of dissatisfaction appeared in his eyes.

"According to what Shen'er said, this Anyi is useless?"

"In terms of prosperity, Anyi now is indeed inferior to Luoyi in Zhou Dynasty and Linzi in Qi Dynasty."

As if he didn't feel the anger on the middle-aged man's face, the young man directly gave his answer.

Suddenly, the young man suddenly changed the subject.

"I just think that if our Wei State can continue to be strong, Anyi will definitely surpass Luoyi and Linzi one day."

The expression on the middle-aged man's face immediately turned from anger to joy after hearing the young man's words, and his eyes became even more relieved.

"Hopefully this day is not too far away."

"My son thought that this day should not be far away."

As soon as the words fell, the father and son looked at each other, and a smile appeared on their faces at the same time.

At this point, the identity of the father and son could not be clearer.

They are none other than King Wei Feng and Prince Wei Shen of Wei.

Soon after the conversation on the street, the father and son walked along the street for a while, and finally stopped in front of a wine shop.

Seeing that there was nothing above the door of the wine shop, Wei Shen immediately showed some doubts on his face.

“Why doesn’t this wine shop have a name?”

Wei Feng didn't seem surprised by the weirdness of the wine shop in front of him. Instead, he looked at his son.

"Shen'er, have you ever heard of Yidun?"

Wei Feng's inquiry made Wei Shen immediately fall into thinking, and the knowledge in his mind began to reappear in front of his eyes.

"I once heard the teacher mention the characters in the land of Xihe, and Yidun was among them."

"It is said that Yidun was from Lu and once asked Duke Tao Zhu for advice on how to do business."

"Then he came to the land west of Hexi and made a fortune by raising livestock. He also became a wealthy businessman in the world by extracting salt from Hedong."

"Um."

After hearing Wei Shen's answer, Wei Feng became more and more satisfied with his son.

He is able to remain calm in times of crisis, is well versed in the affairs of the world, and has sufficient foresight.

As long as he goes through a little more tempering, he can be said to be a qualified heir.

With a satisfied smile, Wei Feng looked at the bustling wine shop in front of him and said lightly, "This is the wine shop opened by Yiping, the son of Yidun."

After saying that, Wei Feng walked forward on his own, while Wei Shen followed Wei Feng's steps calmly.

When the two of them entered the wine shop, the scene in front of them surprised them.

Although he was in the palace and was used to seeing beauty and exquisiteness, what he saw in front of him still made Wei Shen sigh.

"This wine shop is really wealthy."

On one side, Wei Shen was sighing at the wealth of the wine shop, while on the other side, a good-looking maid had already arrived in front of the two of them.

"What do you two need?"

"Find a secluded place, have a glass of wine, and some delicious food."

Hearing Wei Feng's voice, the smile on the maid's face was still bright, "Okay, you two, please follow me."

Under the guidance of the maid, Wei Feng and Wei Shen were led to a secluded place, and soon the items ordered by Wei Feng were put on several tables.

"Lanling fine wine from the Chu State, mutton soup from the North, carp from the river..."

When delicacies from all over the world appeared in front of them, Wei Feng and Wei Shen looked at each other, and a different emotion appeared in the eyes of the father and son.

"You two are welcome."

After the maid retreated and looked at the food and wine in front of him, Wei Feng said meaningfully to Wei Shen, "How?"

"This Yi family is really rich." Facing Wei Feng's question, Wei Shen sighed again.

"Then in your opinion, how did the Yi family obtain such huge profits in just a few decades?"

Just as Wei Feng finished speaking, and before Wei Shen could answer, a voice suddenly rang not far from the two of them.

"It depends on the strong support of the State of Wei and the King."

Looking in the direction from which the voice came, a middle-aged man in plain clothes was walking quickly towards the two of them.

"Yishi Yiping, please pay homage to the king and the crown prince."

"Master Yi's family doesn't need to be polite."

A smile appeared on Wei Feng's face when he looked at the head of the Yi family who looked like an ordinary person despite having a wealthy family.

"The Yi family contributed a lot to the construction of the chasm. This time I came out of the palace to express my gratitude to the head of the Yi family."

"Yiping dare not be the king's thank you."

Facing Wei Feng in front of him, Yiping put on a look of fear.

"The successful construction of the chasm was mostly due to Sikong's proper planning. I, the Yi family, only did some meager things."
