After I kissed the rough man Khan, I was busy farming in the grassland

Li Rui and his wife knew from Li Xianyun's letters that Yeluyan would let her go out of the palace to do what she liked. The workshops, drying rooms, including the ice porridge shop and pastry shop were all mentioned in the letter, but hearing about it was better than seeing it in person.

Seeing such a large-scale workshop and drying room, and seeing so many helpers working in an orderly manner, Li Rui and Qiu Qianyun recognized Yeluyan even more.

No emperor in the past dynasties would allow his concubines to frequently come in and out of the palace and do what they like, but Yeluyan did it.

It's enough to show how much he dotes on Li Xianyun.

Li Shaojun already had great admiration for Ye Luyan, who was highly skilled in martial arts, and now he respected his brother-in-law even more.

Li Xianyi is young, and although she only cares about eating and drinking, she also knows that her brother-in-law is very good to her sister.

When Li Xianyun planned to marry the Khitans, Li Rui and his wife strongly opposed it.

Li Shaojun and Li Xianyun also lobbied in every possible way.

But Li Xianyun convinced the family with just one sentence.

She looked at Li Rui and Qiu Qianyun and said in an extremely calm and firm tone: "Father, queen, mother and concubine, if you move the tree, you will die, but if you move the person, you will live. If my daughter wants to give it a try, there may be a glimmer of hope."

Li Rui and Qiu Qianyun said no more, but Prince Rui's palace seemed to be shrouded in a low, thick cloud.

The whole family was very worried about Li Xianyun's marriage to the Khitan. Fortunately, Li Xianyun's choice was right.

The Li family is happy for Li Xianyun from the bottom of their hearts.

Li Xianyun took a group of people to the East Market and West Market again, and visited pastry shops, dried fruit shops, and milk tea shops.

Every shop was doing brisk business, and there was a long queue of people buying things at the door of the shop.

Li Xianyun initially planned not to directly participate in the newly opened pastry shop and dried fruit shop.

But these two shops and Ruyifang sold the same things, so it was difficult not to be related to her, so they simply didn't shy away from it.

The two newly opened shops and the ice porridge shop in Dongshi are both named after Ruyifang.

The style and font color of the plaque are the same as those of Ruyifang, except that next to the three characters of Ruyifang, the words "pastry shop, dried fruit shop, and milk tea shop" are written in slightly smaller fonts to distinguish them.

These four shops cover the same type of food, but they only focus on one type of food.

Ali has accumulated a lot of experience in running Ruyifang. Li Xianyun asked him to gather the shopkeepers of the four shops together regularly, and the four shopkeepers exchanged experiences and learned from each other.

The shopkeeper of each shop has independent execution rights. When he is undecided, he can report directly to Li Xianyun.

This avoids corruption caused by concentration of power and prevents the four shops from becoming a mess.

In addition, Li Xianyun already has long-term plans in mind regarding Ruyifang.

After Ruyifang's business in Beijing stabilizes, she also plans to open branches of Ruyifang in some major surrounding towns.

The business of Ruyifang was slowly expanded, forming a large industrial chain throughout Khitan.

As the industry grows bigger, it can also develop in further directions.

Although Li Xianyun looks weak, she is quite ambitious.

Jishitang is a process of precipitation. By the time she arrived at Ruyifang, she had already accumulated a lot of experience.

A person does not need much to do a career. Only by pursuing the same career far and deep can he achieve great achievements.

Li Xianyun took the Li family around each of the four Ruyifang shops, bought some pastries, and bought everyone a cup of hot sweet milk tea.

This is the rule of Ruyifang. Even Ruyifang's own people cannot take food from the shop at will. They have to pay for it like outside customers. Li Xianyun has already made it clear in advance that business is business and human relationships are human relationships. The two must be clearly distinguished to avoid confusion in management.

Li Xianyun specially bought three more snacks and milk tea for Yaduo, Tiya and Yeluyan.

At noon, Li Xianyun brought a group of people to Songhe Tower, planning to have some food, then walk around the West Market and buy some things, and then go to Xuanyi Pavilion to see Tiya in the evening.

The Xuanyi Pavilion is the busiest during the day, and going there will only delay Tia's treatment of patients.

During these days, Li Xianyun first went to Xishan Hot Spring with Ye Luyan, and then was kidnapped by Murong Ce for several days. Returning from the frontier fortress was delayed for several days.

For such a long time, the Xuanyi Pavilion has been managed by Tia.

Li Xianyun felt very sorry for Tiya and wanted to make it up to her in the future.

Before the food was served, Li Xianyun accompanied Li Rui and Qiu Qianyun to talk.

Li Shaojun and Li Xianyi stood by the window and looked at the surrounding scenery.

Everything in Khitan was new and strange, which opened their eyes.

When they were in Chang'an, the Li family was cautious in everything, and they had never been so comfortable as they are now. This was all thanks to Li Xianyun.

Standing on the high terrace and leaning on the railing, you can have an unobstructed view of Shangjing.

The criss-crossing streets, the various shops, the neatly arranged residences, the well-proportioned buildings of large families, and the bustling crowds of people and horses, all reflect the prosperity of Shangjing.

People in the Central Plains always think that Khitan is a barbarian land where they live like hair and drink blood, and they are backward in terms of politics, culture and even economy.

It was true in the past, but since Yeluyan gradually took control of the military after he became an adult, under his leadership, the Khitan's military power has grown by leaps and bounds, gradually standing out among several surrounding countries and becoming the country with the most powerful military.

Military strength often determines a country's diplomatic status, so Khitan's words become more and more weighty in its diplomacy with various countries.

Those countries that were hostile to the Khitan were also frightened by Yeluyan, and they were simply frightened by Yeluyan.

Yeluyan's iron fist was not only used in military affairs, but also in government affairs.

During the few years he was in power, Khitan officialdom gradually became clearer and clearer, and the economy also underwent earth-shaking changes.

If it weren't for the snowstorm last winter, Khitan's economy would have already surpassed that of the Later Liang and Later Tang Dynasties.

Li Shaojun was casually admiring the scenery when he suddenly saw a familiar figure and shouted joyfully into the room: "Sister, come and take a look."

Li Xianyun thought something had happened, and while holding Li Rui and Qiu Qianyun steady, she got up and walked to the window.

She looked far into the distance in the direction Li Shaojun pointed, and saw Ye Luyan riding down the street with five or six guards.

There were people walking on both sides of the street, and there were cars and horses passing by, so they were not moving very fast.

Yeluyan's strong body sat up and down as the horses ran. He was handsome, noble and majestic, causing all passers-by to stop and watch.

After Yeluyan finished his official duties, he left the palace to look for Li Xianyun.

He placed many secret guards around Li Xianyun, and secret guards would report the news to him every once in a while.

Ye Luyan knew Li Xianyun's whereabouts very well, so it was not surprising that he could find her.

He was riding on a tall horse and saw Li Shaojun and Li Xianyi standing on the terrace on the fifth floor of Songhe Tower looking around from a distance. He was thinking that it would be great if Li Xianyun came out and took a look at her earlier.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Li Xianyun walked out gracefully. (End of chapter)
