Zhao Jingyan suddenly came out to call her and said softly: "Most of the rich and noble families in the world follow behind the two kings. What should I do?"
Qingguan turned around, with a sneer on his lips: "The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders. There are always those who are not willing to be inferior to others, those who have fate but not luck, those who are ambitious, and those who are willing to take a gamble with the prince."
That frail figure had long since disappeared, and there was still a dead silence in the flower hall.
"Hongwen, give me a quick punch?" Zhao Jingyan felt a little dry.
Jiang Hongwen extended his fist unceremoniously and hit him hard.
Zhao Jingyan felt a pain in her chest and coughed a few times. Then she grabbed Jiang Hongwen's chest and said, "Tell me, if we have such a group of people behind us, will his hopes be much greater?"
Jiang Hongwen was stunned for a long time, with shock flashing in his eyes.
The Gu sisters just headed back home after having dinner at the Jiang Mansion.
On the way here and on the way out, the two sisters had completely different emotions. Because Qingguan's second sister's matter was resolved, her heart fell to pieces with a smile on her face.
Wu Yanling, however, didn't know why. She was depressed along the way and didn't even bother to say a perfunctory word.
When I returned to Gu Mansion, it was almost the second watch. Qingguan went straight back to the courtyard, while Wu Yanling was invited by the maid in front of the princess.
"My son, what do you think of that mansion?" Hua Yang asked impatiently without waiting for his daughter to sit down.
Wu Yanling threw down her handkerchief and said gloomily: "One is a nerd and the other is an idler. Neither of them is a good match."
Hua Yang laughed angrily and said: "What do you know about this girl? A bookworm's mind is all on learning, so how can he spend time on women? As long as you catch him, everything in this courtyard will not be your fault. The final say.”
"Mother?"
Wu Yanling stood up suddenly and said angrily: "I would rather marry an idler than a nerd."
After that, he ignored the surprise on the princess's face and walked away.
"This kid... why is he so excited? A nerd can finally get some merit in the exam!"
The night is clear.
There was silence in the humble room.
Without saying a word, Zhao Jingyan put her hand into her arms and took out a booklet as if holding a treasure.
Seeing his solemn expression, the man took it, lit the candle, and opened the book casually.
After only one page, the man's body suddenly froze and he lost his voice: "Qianzhuang?"
His brother's reaction was as expected by Zhao Jingyan. He smiled bitterly, spread his hands and said, "It's her handwriting and regulations."
The man glanced at him. This woman, if nothing unexpected happens, must be Gu Qingwan.
He held up the candle, pressed his fingers between the lines, and read each word carefully.
From time to time, there was a rustling sound. Zhao Jingyan simply stepped forward to take the candlestick and stood beside him.
"Snapped!"
The book was pressed heavily on the document. The man turned his face and stared at Lao Ba firmly, but his pupils were empty.
Zhao Jingyan knew that he was shocked, so she raised her eyebrows and said, "Brother, how are you doing?"
"Is this really her handiwork?"
"It's absolutely true. Look at this word, it sounds like a dog lying on the ground. Who else besides her?" Zhao Jingyan nodded.
"Monster..." The man shook his head irrevocably.
More than just a monster, he was simply a monster, a monster disguised as a madman. Zhao Jingyan secretly slandered. It is not embarrassing to carry it in her hands.
After the man sighed from the bottom of his heart, he lowered his head in front of the candlelight, spread out the thin book, and read it again carefully.
Zhao Jingyan was serving tea for him, but she had other thoughts in mind.
How did this woman's brain grow to be so smart? He really wanted to crack her head open and take a good look at what was inside.
Alas, with such a smart woman by his side, it will be difficult for him to have a good time and sleep with a woman in the future.
It's just that compared to being extremely wealthy and sleeping with women, the latter seems not worth mentioning. It's embarrassing...
"Baby, what are you thinking about?" The man pointed at the booklet.
"No... I didn't think about anything." Zhao Jingyan recovered her thoughts.
The man took a few deep breaths and said, "Do you know what this is?"
Zhao Jingyan frowned and said: "Silver..."
"Why!"
The man sighed, "Do you know how much silver there is after this operation?"
"She said, many, many..." Zhao Jingyan couldn't help but rub her hands. More than he could imagine.
The man smiled softly.
Zhao Jingyan hesitated when he heard the words, thinking that he heard wrongly. It had been many years since he had seen his brother smile.
"It's a pity, the layout is still too small..." The man shook his head with regret.
"Brother?" Zhao Jingyan almost jumped up, "Isn't this too small a situation?"
Merchants remit profit from competitions in different places, and Gengzi money from banknotes... Once this is transferred to the world... Oh my god, he doesn't dare to think about it.
The man snorted softly.
"So, this structure is too small. What benefit does it bring to the country, to the people, to the military, and to the world just by looking at the general situation of merchants?"
Zhao Jingyan covered her head and said nothing. What did her brother mean? Why couldn't he understand it clearly
The man stood up suddenly and paced back and forth in the room.
"Do you know how many manpower, chariots and horses it costs to transport the guards back and forth, and how much silver is involved in the seasonal taxes paid to the court by the Zhili people from the north and south?"
"Brother?" Zhao Jingyan felt that the matter was a bit serious and called out uncertainly.
"Not to mention those remote Daotai prefectures. Due to the long distances, it is difficult to transport the tax money to Gyeonggi." The man's voice gradually became clearer.
Zhao Jingyan was stunned.
"Do you know how much money the generals and soldiers stationed in various places, the fortresses and frontier troops spend each year on their military salaries and escorts?"
The man took a deep breath to calm down the excitement in his heart.
Zhao Jingyan followed his words and became a little crazy for a moment.
Darling, it's just the tax money and military pay. If it flows through the bank, the interest... I'll drop the heaven and the earth, the earth and the heaven!
Zhao Jingyan was trembling all over, feeling like the white money was raining down on him.
Oh, he's a little dizzy and needs to sit down to calm down.
Zhao Jingyan sat down opposite the man and murmured to herself: "If this bank is set up, treasury is stored locally and withdrawals are made in other places... Brother, this is a major matter that benefits the country and the people. The structure is too small, it is indeed too small Small."
When the man saw that Lao Ba was speaking incoherently, he knew that he had understood what he meant.
"This matter is too important. It is impossible for you to do it alone..."
The man stopped, turned around and took a deep look at Lao Ba, stretched out a finger and pointed upward, "You can go directly to him."
"Brother?"
Zhao Jingyan said anxiously, "Will he agree?"
The man lowered his head and whispered: "It all depends on your ability, Lao Ba. If this can be done..."
"how?"
The man let out a breath and just smiled.
Zhao Jingyan met the man's deep, ink-like eyes and collapsed directly on the chair. Being able to make his brother laugh twice in one breath... This... If this couldn't happen, he would just die.
Silver, that’s all silver!
On the second day after Qingguan returned from the Jiang family, grandma Zhu brought Sister-in-law Liu to the door.
"My ancestor had this in mind when he saw the child for the first time, and specially found a cook from the south. My ancestor said that she would pay all the expenses without spending a penny from the house."
Zhu's words are very beautiful, but after careful consideration, there may be something wrong with them.
After Zhu left, Princess Huayang's expression changed and she flicked the tea cup on the table to the ground.
This ancestor went too far. It was just a matter of farewell, but he sent a cook instead. Didn't he tell the world that she, Huayang, abused her stepdaughter and even tampered with the food.
Grandma Tan was so frightened that she didn't dare to say a word and only looked at the second master with her eyes.
Gu Songtao laughed and said, "Isn't she just a cook? There's nothing to worry about. If you want to buy a small kitchen later, I'll pay for it."
Huayang's look at the man changed several times. He was about to make some sarcastic remarks, but thinking about Sister Ling's marriage, he sneered: "Take out the money quickly and don't waste any damn words."
Gu Songtao just talked casually, never thinking that the woman would actually ask him for it. After thinking about it for a few times, he smiled and said, "What's the rush? I'll bring it to you later."
If you put it off for ten days and a half, you might forget it.
Zhao Huayang rolled his eyes as he knew the dead man's personality well. If she believed this, she might as well kill him with a piece of tofu.
As long as Sister-in-law Liu comes in and sets up the small kitchen, Qingwan won't care what others think. It's just that Zhu made this trip specially for her. No matter what, this favor is owed.
She then ordered Yueniang to go out of the house, take some good medicinal materials from Qingfeng Hall, and deliver them to Zhu.
Mrs. Zhu looked at several large bags of medicinal materials, smiled and said to her man: "Look, my sister is really a good person."
Uncle Jiang put down the book in his hand, stepped forward to read it a few times, and said with a smile: "It looks cold from the outside, but it's warm from the inside. Such people are worth dating."
"You don't have to say it."
After taking her medicine, I benefited a lot and the house became more enjoyable.
Mrs. Zhu smiled shyly, then raised her eyebrows, pushed the man, and said, "Do you think this seventh man has fallen in love with Qing Guan? How come he begged me to send a cook over?"
The uncle of the Jiang family said casually: "It's good if you like him. It's time for someone powerful to take care of him."
Zhu was taken aback. The man has a very high vision, and given the family background of the Gu family, it is impossible for him to agree, "If the sixth lady wants to marry in, our family will benefit."
The uncle of the Jiang family took a look at the woman with the book and nodded slightly.
Mrs. Zhu looked happy.
If people eat whole grains, no one will get sick or suffer from pain. If Sister Qingguan were to marry in, based on her ability, I'm afraid everyone in the house would live a long life. Wonderful, wonderful.
Mrs. Zhu understood in her heart and said with a smile: "Do you want me to go and find out what sister Qingguan has to say?"
The eldest son of the Jiang family laughed angrily and said, "It's not a matter of telling the eight characters. You should be more at ease and not scare anyone away."
Zhu Shiliu twisted her waist, and stretched out her slender hands to the man's beautiful eyebrows, "Sir, that's not what you said last night." The eldest son of the Jiang family felt something in his heart, stretched out his long arm, kissed Zhu Shi on the mouth, and said: "I can say whatever I want."
