Chapter 98 How much assets do you have? You are really generous.
"General, this Mr. Liu is really capable. He can replenish the granary in a few days. There is only one way, which is to mobilize all the resources that can be mobilized from all over the country and keep rushing here."
This method is not difficult to think of, but it is not an easy task to do.
The secret guards around Chi Hongyuan originally had some complaints about Liu Mingyue, but after the incident with food and fodder, his attitude towards this mysterious Mr. Liu changed.
"The food and fodder he prepared is more than the food and fodder in our burned granary. I know he is not a simple person, but his ability to prepare for a rainy day really surprised me."
Chi Hongyuan looked at the letter on the table. It was the letter given to him by the owner of the rice shop. It was the same letter that Liu Mingyue asked Hong to deliver to the owner.
"Your Highness, didn't you always want to investigate this person? I always feel that there are too many mysteries about Liu Suifeng, which may hinder your future plans. Do you want to order someone..."
The secret guard made a gesture of wiping his neck. Liu Suifeng should not have any background. From the contact during this period, it seems that she is just the owner of the shop under her name, nothing more.
Killing such a person would be a little troublesome, but not difficult.
"No, I would love to be an ally with someone like him. There may be many things about him that I don't know, but as long as it doesn't affect my path, why can't we cooperate to achieve a win-win situation?"
Having known Liu Suifeng till now, Chi Hongyuan was not afraid of this person at first, but now he just finds him interesting. Cooperating with this person is indeed the right choice.
The war on the border spread, and after the incident of burning food and fodder, Chi Hongyuan became even more alert.
If it weren't for the unresolved border war that prevented him from getting away, Chi Hongyuan would really like to go back to the capital and sit down with Liu Suifeng to have a good drink.
Not long after, Chi Hongyuan handed back a letter from the border, which was brought back by the secret guards without being disclosed. Hong knew that Liu Suifeng was the owner of Ruyi Pavilion and would have someone send the letter to Ruyi Pavilion.
Upon learning that a letter had been delivered, Liu Mingyue thought that there was some difficulty at the border and wanted to return to Ruyi Pavilion immediately.
"Are you going to leave me like this? At least tell me." Bai Ziyu, who had made an appointment with her to drink today, was a little dissatisfied.
"Oh, oh, come with me." Liu Mingyue turned around and pulled Bai Ziyu who was leaning on the low table and walked out. Only then did Bai Ziyu's expression relax.
When the two arrived at Ruyi Pavilion, the shopkeeper handed the letter to Liu Mingyue, who opened the letter only after entering the guest room.
After reading the contents of the letter, Liu Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought it was something else."
Liu Mingyue slapped the letter on the table. Bai Ziyu took a look at it and found that it was Chi Hongyuan who sent the money for the grain and fodder that the rice shop delivered to the camp to the shop. There were also words of thanks in the letter.
"Your efforts at the border don't seem to be entirely for Chi Hongyuan."
Liu Mingyue heard the hesitation in Bai Ziyu's words. He felt that she was too enthusiastic about the interests of her country and family.
Ordinary people should do their job in their position. Liu Mingyue has some assets under her name, and it is normal for her to do what she can. However, Bai Ziyu does not think that Liu Mingyue has the leisure to do so, or in other words, she is not doing this entirely for the people living in the border areas.
It's not that I doubt Liu Mingyue's character, but her own situation is dire, so how can she think so far ahead?
"You can say it is, and you can say it is not. Wait a few years, and maybe you will understand why I did this."
Liu Mingyue smiled and came to the table to spread out the rice paper and grind the ink. Bai Ziyu came over and took the ink block from her hand. Liu Mingyue was not polite and simply handed it to him and went to get the pen to dip in ink: "Thank you very much."
Liu Mingyue did not reply to Chi Hongyuan's letter, but wrote a letter to the rice shop owner, instructing him to continue storing grain and preferably to build more granaries.
As long as there is a need at the border, we will continue to provide food and fodder to the soldiers at the border without worrying about the money.
After writing it, Liu Mingyue took out her private seal and stamped it at the end of the letter, then turned around and asked someone to send it to Zui Xiang Lou.
"I've always wanted to ask, how much assets do you have? You're really generous." Bai Ziyu glanced at the words on Liu Mingyue's letter with curiosity. A large amount of food and fodder would not be cheap.
"Not much. Anyway, you don't have to pay for the wine and meat you eat at Zuixianlou for the rest of your life."
Liu Mingyue put the letter into the envelope, thought about it, and decided to deliver it to Zui Xiang Lou herself for safety. She could let go of these interests at the moment, and what she wanted was to maintain a long-term and stable cooperation with Chi Hongyuan.
She needs to maintain a relationship of interest with Chi Hongyuan, not just for the present. Zhou Junyuan is dead, but she will not die, and she still has a long way to go.
As a businessman with no power, Liu Mingyue needs an ally with great power, and that person is the future Chi Hongyuan.
Bai Ziyu would not know her thoughts, nor could he understand them. According to the development of the court situation before her death in her previous life, the other princes were not strong enough to compete with Chi Hongyuan.
"The last person might be him." Liu Mingyue leaned against the carriage with her arms folded across her chest, muttering.
She was relaxed in front of Bai Ziyu, and was so absorbed in her thoughts that she blurted out the words.
Bai Ziyu had his eyes closed to rest, but he opened them upon hearing this: "What are you thinking about? Have you been so worried since leaving Ruyi Pavilion? Actually, you don't have to prepare so much. After leaving the Marquis' Mansion, it might be a good idea to retreat to the mountains and hide away from the world."
Escape from the world? Liu Mingyue had never thought about it. The girl was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Do you think I am someone who can calm down and escape from the world? Ziyu, I am not like your immortal nature."
Liu Mingyue didn't take Bai Ziyu's words to heart. She smiled and adjusted her sleeves that were pressed down by her.
"Different... isn't it?" Bai Ziyu glanced at Liu Mingyue's profile and closed his eyes again.
In her previous life, Liu Mingyue did not live to see the new emperor ascend the throne, but judging from the final situation, the person who would most likely ascend the throne would be Chi Hongyuan.
If Chi Hongyuan could become the emperor, it would be best to form an alliance with him when he first became powerful, as there would be many benefits in the future. If he did not ascend the throne, his status would not be low given his ability.
In short, this is a business that will not lose money for Liu Mingyue. Since there is always profit to be made, of course it should be done. It would be a waste not to take the benefits in front of you.
After Liu Mingyue's food and grass support, the court's supplies were also delivered to the border as quickly as possible.
Chi Hongyuan was a rare general in a century. Liu Mingyue could not help with military operations and was not needed, so she just sat there doing nothing and wore Peanut every day to enjoy good food and drink with him.
There are so many snack stalls in the capital that it is impossible to eat all of them. Liu Mingyue drags her maid around looking for food every day and enjoys it. Finding delicious food is one of the greatest pleasures in life.
With the meticulous care of everyone in the Marquis' Mansion, Zhou Baili's fetus stabilized and her belly began to show.
