Chapter 1101 Why are there so many foreigners in this city?

When Qiao Erhe heard her say that she wanted to open countless Shenxian Valley supermarkets, his eyes lit up:

"Really? Then, this store in Beijing will be under my management? Can I become the head shopkeeper and manage several supermarkets in the future?"

Qiao Ran smiled and nodded:

"Well, from now on, Second Uncle will be the head shopkeeper. You will be in charge of the surrounding prefectures and cities, but each shop still needs to have a specific shopkeeper in charge."

"Okay! Okay! Don't worry, Ranran. Second Uncle will definitely help you take care of it and make a lot of money for you!"

Qiao Erhe rubbed his hands with excitement.

In the past, he never imagined that he, a peasant who only knew how to dig for food in the fields, would one day be able to manage a big shop that was very popular in the capital, and even have the possibility of becoming the manager of several shops.

My life has not been lived in vain!

After hearing this, Qiao Dong, Qiao Xing, and Qiao Yue quickly hugged their sister's legs again and expressed their determination in unison:

"We also want to help sister make lots of money!"

Qiao Ran couldn't help laughing, and bent down to pinch the three little guys' chubby round cheeks:

"Okay! Then I'll wait for you to grow up and help me make lots of money!"

"Okay, don't just stand here, go inside and sit down and talk. Ranran must be very tired!"

After Old Mrs. Qiao spoke, everyone went into the house.

The welcoming banquet in Qingshui Village was grand and lively. It was a great joy that he could return safely from the battle and receive such a great reward.

In addition to Qiao Ran being rewarded, Qiao Dong also received a reward.

Because of his superb archery skills, he shot down hundreds of Beimo soldiers on the battlefield, and also shot down a captain and a deputy commander.

Moreover, because he spread the fighting techniques taught by Qiao Ran in the military camp, the combat effectiveness of the Dai Viet army increased several times and the casualties were reduced several times. He made great contributions and was promoted to the deputy commander of the Zheng family army's archery battalion. This is also a big event worth celebrating.

There were also Qian Shitou, Tian Chunlai and others, who also made contributions and received generous rewards. Qian Shitou even became a small centurion.

Many young men in the village regretted not following them to sign up for the army.

But there is no way around it. There must always be some young people left in the village to protect the elderly, the weak, women and children, and the village workshops and supermarkets also need manpower to operate.

They can make a lot of money at home by following the Qiao family.

The next day, Qiao Ran went into the city to inspect the supermarket. Although she wanted to be a salted fish, she hadn't been to the supermarket for half a year, so she had to know what the current situation was.

After entering the city, she discovered something strange: there seemed to be a lot more foreigners on the streets.

"Uncle, why are there so many foreigners in this city? And they don't look like merchants. They're dressed luxuriously, walk with their heads held high, and are escorted by many guards. They look like they're not ordinary people!"

Qiao Ran looked at a group of more than 20 people dressed like foreigners walking on the street outside the door, and asked Qiao Erhe who was calculating on an abacus at the counter.

Qiao Erhe paused as he was turning the beads, raised his head and looked out the door, saying:

"These are foreign envoys who came to the capital to pay their respects."

"Chaohe?"

"Yes, they all came to congratulate us on our annexation of the Northern Desert. They also came to present their credentials, hoping for peaceful coexistence and non-aggression with Dai Viet."

Before Qiao Erhe could answer, a tall figure came in from outside the door.

Mo Beihan came in from outside with a smile, followed by Butler Zhou and a servant holding a basket.

"This old servant greets the princess! I'm so glad that you and the prince have returned safely!"

"Uncle Zhou, why are you calling yourself a slave again? Don't do that again!"

"Okay, okay, thank you, Princess! I'll go do some shopping first. The prince has suffered a lot outside for the past six months, and now that he's finally back, he needs to eat something good!"

"Well, go ahead!"

Seeing Butler Zhou taking the servant to select ingredients, Qiao Ran turned to look at Mo Beihan:

"How did those people get the news so quickly?"
