Chapter 27: Not interested in money, Nanping Inn



Yuchi Ziling shook her head, "I don't understand."

Jiang Hai gestured a bit, but it still felt a little off.

"Never mind, I'll go find some and show you."

After saying that, Jiang Hai left the room and came to the room where Wenzhi Qin Bai lived. He asked Qin Bai to give him the gun, and he took it apart and took out the spring inside.

"Bai, lend me this for a while, I'll return it to you later."

"Okay, young master." Qin Bai agreed.

Jiang Hai returned to Yuchi Ziling's room carrying a spring and showed it to her directly.

"See? This will rebound."

"Wow, this is possible, it's amazing." Yuchi Ziling and Cai'er were very curious when they saw the spring for the first time.

"This is the most important component. The carriage's chassis also has a multi-link suspension design. In short, it's a complete system designed specifically for shock absorption.

Didn’t you notice that our carriage has four wheels? It’s not an ordinary two-wheeled carriage.”

Jiang Hai wanted to explain the chassis and suspension structure to her, but then he thought a summary would be better, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

Yuchi Ziling thought about it and realized that it was indeed a four-wheeled vehicle. She nodded to show that she understood. Then she discovered another business opportunity.

"Then you can sell these carriages to make money. Officials and wealthy people love to show off these things."

Jiang Hai reached out and touched Yuchi Ziling's forehead.

"My lady, aren't you a martial artist? Why are you acting like a profiteer now, trying to sell everything for money? What on earth made you act like this? You're not feeling hot."

"Cough, cough, cough, cough." Cai'er's throat felt a little uncomfortable.

Yuchi Ziling slapped his hand away and said with a pout, "Isn't it because you don't think carefully about how you spend your money? You need to think more about ways to make money in the future, otherwise I'm afraid it won't be enough for you to squander."

Jiang Hai was delighted when he heard this.

"Oh, you've already learned how to manage the household before you even get married. Not bad, not bad."

Yuchi Ziling's cheeks felt a little hot when he teased her, and she said,

"Then tell me, is this the truth?"

Jiang Hai thought her idea was really cute, and started to act cool with a grin.

"Well, that's true, but you don't have to worry about it. Our family is not short of money. You don't have to think about making money, just think about spending money.

Once upon a time, a very rich and famous person said something. Do you know what it was?

"I don't know, what did you say?"

"I'm not interested in money. I've never touched money." Jiang Hai almost laughed at himself.

"What kind of nonsense is that? Who in this world doesn't touch money?" Yuchi Ziling did not comment.

"That's actually true. Look at me now. I hardly ever touch money. It's Wenzhi who handles it for me."

Yuchi Ziling was a little confused after hearing his twisted logic. It seemed right and wrong at the same time.

"But don't you always carry silver notes and gold leaves with you?"

"Oh, this is just for rewarding." Jiang Hai said confidently, and then turned to Cai'er, "Cai'er, don't you think so?"

Cai'er nodded frantically. She could prove this because she had a few banknotes in her pocket that were given by her brother-in-law.

Back to the topic, Yuchi Ziling said,

"Well, if you're right, then you don't intend to sell this carriage for money?"

"Well, yes, I'll use it myself and see how I feel later. After all, this thing is quite complicated and it's troublesome to produce."

"Okay, I just said it casually, I don't mean anything else."

"However, there is something made from this spring that I am planning to sell."

"Oh? What is that?"

Jiang Hai smiled evilly.

"Mattress. Just imagine, the entire mattress is made of springs, and topped with the finest cotton fabric. It's so comfortable to sleep on. Those high-ranking officials and wealthy gentlemen can't help but sleep on this mattress several times.

Especially for families with three wives and four concubines, buying once is definitely a group purchase, which makes it too easy to cheat them.

This is what I use in my own room. If you don’t believe me, come back and try it.”

"..." Yuchi Ziling was speechless when she saw that he kept talking about his business and seducing her at every turn.

However, she also felt that what Jiang Hai said made sense. Nowadays, all the officials and wealthy people had several concubines, and their demand was indeed much greater than that of a carriage.

Seeing that she was stunned and didn't say anything, Jiang Hai continued,

"Don't disbelieve me, this thing has a huge market, and the process is simple. Only Xincheng can make it with the materials. You'll see, it's bound to be a hit."

"Okay, actually I don't understand what you mean by market or anything like that. I just want to see if there's anything I can do to help."

After hearing this, Jiang Hai took her hand and patted it, saying affectionately, "My dear, it's enough that you have this heart.

These matters are now being handled by Wu Gong. Our New City has many businesses outside the city, and the shopkeepers will naturally take care of them."

"Cough, cough, cough." Cai'er scratched her neck again, her throat feeling uncomfortable.

Jiang Hai glanced at her unhappily.

"Cai'er, how about I take you to see a doctor? What's wrong with your throat?"

"Puchi." Yuchi Ziling couldn't help laughing when she saw this.

Seeing that she didn't dwell on the issue any further, Jiang Hai looked at the sky and saw that it was already late at night, so he didn't linger any longer. He returned the spring to Qin Bai and went back to his room to rest.

The next morning, the weather was clear and the convoy continued its journey.

After walking for two or three days, we arrived at Nanzhou City, a big city in southern Xinjiang, where the provincial capital is located.

Binhai and other counties are also under the jurisdiction of Nanzhou, the superior department of Jiang Hai's father.

The pass from the Binhai County Government hadn't hindered them along the way. Even Qin Bai's team followed as escorts.

Hundreds of strong men were dressed in the uniforms of Shunfeng Escort Agency. Since they could not wear armor, they used chain mail inner armor.

Speaking of Shunfeng Escort Agency, Jiang Hai had originally considered naming it Shunfeng Express. However, after realizing that the business wasn't profitable and dangerous in the current imperial environment, he gave up. He only retained the identity of an escort agency, which he could use when necessary, as he did now.

Jiang Hai and his group entered Nanzhou City and found the largest inn to settle down. The other tough guys were dispersed, and there were only about twenty or thirty people following Jiang Hai in Nanping Inn.

The team needs to rest for a while. Nanzhou City is in the north of Southern Xinjiang. It is not far from Nanzhou that you will leave Southern Xinjiang.

Nanping Inn, second floor.

Jiang Haiwenzhi and other key personnel gathered at a table, waiting for the waiter to serve the dishes.

At this time, a group of people came in from outside the inn, about ten or twenty people. They were all dusty and looked like they had come from a long way.

Finally, these people also came to the second floor, not far from where Jiang Hai and others were sitting. They ordered food and were waiting.

Not long after, Yuchi Ziling whispered to Jiang Hai,

"These people are from the capital, and their accent is that of the capital."

"Oh, they are not here to arrest you again." Jiang Hai said with a smile.

"Shh, listen to what they are saying in a low voice." Yuchi Ziling lowered her voice.
