Meng Youning counted carefully and found that there were six large boxes just in the area they saw.

There is only one small box on the inside.

Sang Luan and Meng Youning looked at each other, both of them grinning from ear to ear.

Sang Luan raised her hand and said, "Hurry, hurry, open the screen."

The two happy people did not notice the complicated emotions of the two people around them.

Yupo looked at the excited Sang Luan, then took a few steps forward and stood aside.

She raised her hand slightly and gently pulled a rope above her.

Unexpectedly, as the rope fell, the screen in front of him moved to both sides little by little.

Sang Luan's breathing stagnated, but she became much calmer at this moment.

Behind the screen, there were rows of wooden boxes.

The box inside looks smaller than the one outside.

But the advantage is that there are a lot of them.

Sang Luan counted silently and found that the number was twice as much as outside and there were still some left.

This amount of silver is enough anyway.

"Yupo, you guys go out first. Ningning and I will stay here for a while." Sang Luan waved her hand.

Yupo pursed her lips and said nothing, then she and Muxiang walked away.

Inner room.

"I guess what's outside is the combined dowry of you and me." Sang Luan stepped forward, half squatted down, grabbed a piece of silver from the box, and rubbed it casually in his hand.

Meng Youning bent down, picked up a string of copper coins in front of him, and weighed them lightly in his hand. "I think it's about the same."

"Now that we have the money and the account books, it's easy to talk to His Majesty." Sang Luan walked in again. "But when we leave, I definitely can't just take all this with me. Firstly, it will easily arouse the jealousy of others. Secondly, if we pass through some remote areas, we will easily be targeted by robbers."

She tutted her words and said, "Although this money may seem like a lot now, there's still a chance something unexpected might happen on our way out. If we only spend money and don't earn any, it'll eventually run out."

Meng Youning threw the copper coins into the box, and then his eyes fell on some small silver coins not far away.

She grabbed a handful of silver coins and said, "You're right. If we want to bring all of this, we'll need to hire the right people. But that will increase our daily expenses a lot. It's not cost-effective after all."

Sang Luan sat down directly, leaning against the box. "When the time comes, we can take two boxes with us first, put some copper coins and silver coins on us, and as for the rest, we can distribute them to various places in advance in another form."

Sang Luan paused and looked up suddenly, "Ningning, what do you mean..."

Meng Youning reached into her sleeve and took out a pencil and paper she had made herself.

Then he placed the paper neatly on the ground, bent down again, and wrote something on the paper with a pencil in his right hand. "Luan'er, look, if we start from the south of the city, the nearest places will be Jingu, Jinan County, Yunzhong, and Jinling. If we continue south, we will reach Nanzhao, Chaisang, and Gusu."

Sang Luan lowered her eyes and saw that the drawing paper was centered on Shengjing, surrounded by place names and approximate journey times.

She couldn't help but be secretly surprised, "Ningning, how do you know so much about this place?"

Meng Youning paused while drawing, looked up at her suspiciously, "Didn't the original book say that? They both wanted to leave at first, and even made serious plans. It was only Feng Hengzhi and Qi Ran who discovered them ahead of time, which led to their deaths."

"This part of the plot was written in detail, didn't you read it at the time?" Meng Youning became more and more suspicious as he spoke.

Sang Luan reached out and smoothed her hair, feeling somewhat guilty.

She was indeed reading a book with Meng Youning at that time, but she was so sleepy that she fell asleep.

I really have no impression of this paragraph.

When Meng Youning saw her like this, there was nothing she didn't understand.

She reached out and gently poked Sang Luan's forehead. "It's okay, it's okay. I've memorized the general plot and some important nodes. As long as I'm here, it doesn't matter whether you understand it or not."

As soon as she finished speaking, she lowered her head and continued writing and drawing on the paper.

Sang Luan was touched. She put her arms around Meng Youning's arms and laid on top of her. "Ningning, I need you. If I were alone, I wouldn't be able to think so far ahead or so carefully. If I left you, I wouldn't know what to do."

She spoke with genuine emotion.

Meng Youning put her hand on Sang Luan's forehead and pushed her back. "Alright, alright, let's get down to business."

Sang Luan said "oh" and quickly sat up straight.

She curled her legs together, her hands wrapped around her knees, and analyzed seriously, "So, according to what you just said, if we want to ship the money to certain places in advance, we need to find out what is lacking and what is popular in each place."

Meng Youning: "I know all this. Look, this is Yunzhong. The women in Yunzhong are extremely skilled at tie-dyeing. Any fabric that comes from Yunzhong is considered top quality. They also yearn for a good makeup look."

She paused, then continued, "But because of the geographical location there, their faces are always dry and even rough, so achieving this is much more difficult than in other places."

Sang Luan tilted her head, "The woman in the clouds needs something that can improve her facial condition and make her skin more delicate."

Meng Youning nodded. "Yes, apart from Yunzhong, I have already asked people to inquire about the other places in advance. We can start with Qiuzhuang and choose an agent in each place, or send people directly from Shengjing."

Sang Luan listened carefully.

The next moment, she raised her right hand and placed her left hand under her right elbow, answering a question like a primary school student. "I know, I know. Next, should we talk about the bank?"

"Only Jingu and Jinling have money houses, but they're small and can't hold much." Sang Luan pointed to the papers on the ground. "Only Nanzhao has a large money house. The owner behind it is a well-known local figure, so there's no need to worry about not being able to withdraw money after depositing it."

Meng Youning raised her eyes and glanced at her again, "It seems you are not completely unaware."

Sang Luan chuckled and put his hand down.

Immediately afterwards, Sang Luan and Meng Youning discussed in detail their departure route.

After one stick of incense.

Sang Luan leaned back and said, "Now that the route and money issues have been resolved, what excuse will I have for leaving then?"

"Fake death drug?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Sang Luan waved her hand and said, "No, no, the fake death drug can easily go wrong. If it doesn't go as we planned, then we'll both be ruined."

Meng Youning gritted his teeth, thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Jump into the river?"

"Which river in Shengjing is so big that it scares people just by looking at it?" Sang Luan shuddered uncontrollably just as she asked. "Forget it, forget it. This method doesn't work either. What if I really sink to the bottom after jumping in?"
