Chapter 524: Reaping the Profits

Old Cao then told the prince everything he had seen since coming here.

Murong Bai, who was listening intently, frowned from time to time and was extremely surprised.

I just feel that the person General Cao is talking about doesn't seem like that girl.

How could a young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion have such abilities? It is really puzzling.

So he made up his mind to send someone to investigate thoroughly, as he always felt that there was something strange about this matter.

On the other side, Han Muchen and his group had already returned to the study, and were listening to what Deputy General Zhao said with saliva all over their mouths.

"Hahahaha... Your Majesty, do you think this makes you feel better?"

Although I don’t know whether the merchants who came to collect grain were sent by Han Mulei, since they were thinking about the grain seeds, I think they came for the prince.

He didn't expect that the people under his jurisdiction were so helpful. Faced with the high profits from recycling, they not only kept their original intentions, but also drove away those grain dealers. He felt very proud.

“…………”Han Muchen didn’t say anything.

But I was also very relieved because I asked the people not to sell the grain seeds, and they actually did it.

Fortunately, I didn’t sell the seeds, otherwise I would be short of a lot more.

Qin Chuchu sat aside and listened quietly, and was very satisfied with the performance of the people.

It's worth it that I spent money and effort to help them. I haven't done anything to be disloyal. As long as we are united and face the outside world, we don't have to worry about not having a good life.

Liu Zhi was also standing quietly by the side, wondering whether those people who came to Qingzhou Prefecture to collect grain seeds were sent by the second prince. He had never heard him mention this before.

At this moment, in the imperial palace in the capital, the queen was listening to the report from the visitor, her chest heaving with anger.

"What stupid peasants!"

She threw the teacup in her hand onto the table, her teeth itching with hatred.

When I first tasted the sticky corn from the vixen, I felt it was a rare opportunity.

That's why he sent people to Qingzhou Prefecture to collect the seeds made by the people at home, and then resell them at a high price, which would surely make him a fortune.

I didn't expect that those peasants had no idea what was good for them and refused to sell even if I paid them more money. They were so stupid and deserved to be poor all their lives.

"Mother, calm down!" Han Mulei comforted her at the right time:

"I heard that Han Muchen had already issued an order to the people of Qingzhou Prefecture, not to sell the seeds in the greenhouse outside. It is said that he would recycle them."

Han Mulei looked at his angry mother in front of him. He had known about this for a long time.

I didn't think much of it at the time, thinking that corn seeds were nothing new. I just didn't expect them to be as delicious as my mother said.

If I had known earlier, I would have taken action earlier.

"Hmm..." The queen pinched her swollen forehead and let out a long breath.

The mother and son have been enjoying great success these days. If things continue like this, all the ministers will surely side with them.

Wouldn't the status of myself and my son become increasingly unstable? The more I think about it, the more my head hurts.

Seeing his mother's thoughts, a hint of cruelty flashed across Han Mulei's eyes.

"Don't worry, Queen Mother. Even though we can't get the seeds, we can destroy them so no one else can have them."

Since the seeds cannot be harvested, just destroy them. Han Muchen will never get them then.

"Reckless!" The queen glared at her son.

"Do you think that little bastard would be stupid enough to give you the chance to destroy those things?"

She glared at her son with dissatisfaction. Since those seeds were so rare, it was impossible for that little beast to be unprepared given his temperament.

If my son takes action, and if it happens again like the previous times, the loss will be huge.

It is not like before. After several losses, although it is not completely exhausted, its strength is much weaker than before.

In order to preserve our strength, we can only wait and see and not act rashly.

If we continue like this, our family fortune will be completely gone, not to mention how we can compete with that little beast.

Seeing what his mother was thinking, Han Mulei frowned.

"Mother, are we just going to watch him become a big shot?"

If they just watched and did nothing, wouldn't Han Muchen become more and more arrogant?

If it really reaches a certain point, I'm afraid I won't be able to compete with him.

“…………”The queen said nothing.

It was not difficult to see that she was thinking about something. After a moment, a hint of viciousness flashed across her eyes.

"We can't act rashly anymore, but there are people who can."

"Hmm? What does mother mean?" Han Mulei looked at the queen in front of him in confusion. It was obvious that he didn't understand what his mother meant.

The queen glanced at her son in front of her.

"Go inform Chu Xiong and tell him that the princess of that little beast is a treasure."

There was a sinister glint in the corner of his mouth as he spoke. Since they couldn't do anything for the time being, they would let others do it for them.

The reason why that little beast has achieved what he has today is that he married a good princess.

If this news is leaked to Chuxiong, I think they will not let the woman go. Then they can sit back and watch the fight between the two tigers and enjoy the benefits.

"I'll do it right away!" Han Mulei's eyes lit up.

It seems that the Queen Mother is very shrewd. This is indeed a good idea. If Han Muchen didn't have that woman's help, he wouldn't be as successful as he is now.

Since you can't move them yourself, ask someone else for help.

Two days later in the morning, Han Mulei's letter arrived in Wanyan Lie's hands. The more he read it, the tighter his brows furrowed.

“…………”

No wonder Han Muchen turned around so quickly and had such strong strength. It was actually all thanks to the princess.

Thinking back to the battle that day, that charming woman, I really can't understand how she, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, could have such amazing kung fu.

It is understandable to say that she has money. After all, her maternal grandfather's family is a merchant family with hundreds of years of heritage, and her mother is an only daughter.

It was reasonable for her to inherit her maternal grandfather's wealth, but her martial arts skills were unacceptable.

How could a young lady who never leaves the house learn such powerful kung fu and kill four ghosts at once? It is really hard to understand.

Seeing that the governor looked worried, General Zuo came up to him.

"General, are we just going to swallow this anger?"

He brought people there for several nights in a row, hoping to launch a surprise attack and destroy their city walls.

As a result, there were tens of thousands of people busy there every night, so I had to return empty-handed, and several nights of my trip was wasted.

After hearing what General Zuo said, Wanyan Lie withdrew his thoughts and looked at him with dissatisfaction.

"What else? Are you going to ask me, the warlord, to lead a hundred thousand troops as well?"

Not to mention that there is a peace agreement, it would not be justifiable even to the emperor.

Although the Dayu Kingdom is suffering from drought, there is still the plague god Han Muchen. It is not a good time for a war, but he will not swallow this humiliation.

Thinking of this, he looked up at General Zuo again.

"Pick a few with good kung fu skills!"
