Qi Yuning was helpless. Her brother was really childish.
Even if the side door is closed, there are still other ways to go.
Qi Yuanan took Lingling to go horseback riding, and Qi Yuning sorted out the account book and went to Qi Yuanan's courtyard to find A Ping.
A Ping is sewing small clothes.
Qi Yuning saw the small clothes and said, "What exquisite clothes, but why are they all for girls?"
"I want to have a daughter as cute and well-behaved as Lingling."
A Ping sewed the small clothes carefully.
Qi Yuning thought that Ping would be disappointed eventually, but these small clothes could be given to Lingling cheaply in the future.
Qi Yuning handed the three booklets to A Ping and said, "These shops are all owned by our Qi family. The Qi family has businesses all over Dasheng. Do you know about the Fuyi Clinic?"
Ah Ping nodded and said, "I know. It's the largest pharmacy in Dasheng."
Qi Yuning said: "This Fuyi Clinic is the property of the Qi family. There are 59 branches in the whole Dasheng. In addition to running a clinic, Fuyi Clinic also does herbal medicine business. Before my grandfather died, he felt that the medicine should be in his hands, so he entrusted it to me.
The chief manager of the Medical Clinic is Aunt Yueya, who is already old. The current managers are Shuangjiang and Xiaoxue. These two are not often in Beijing and are always traveling to various places to check on the Medical Clinic.
Qi Yuning opened the booklet and said, "The front of this booklet lists the owners of various medical clinics. These are the eighteen medical clinics that sell medicinal herbs. They extend from Lingzhi Island in the east to Baishan in the north, from Lingnan in the south to Beicheng in the west. There are medical clinics there."
Ah Ping was surprised: "So many!"
Qi Yuning opened the booklet and said, "And here are the Qi family's grain shops and farms. There are a total of 138 stores, 320 farms, and 10,000 hectares of arable land."
Ah Ping was shocked and said, "How much? Princess, did you say it was ten thousand acres?"
"No, it's ten thousand hectares."
Qi Yuning sighed and said, "How can ten thousand acres be enough to support so many Qi Family soldiers? There's very little arable land in North City to grow food. The Qi Family soldiers, numbering over two hundred thousand, have to rely on these ten thousand acres for food to survive. Although the court will also provide military rations, they are ultimately the worst quality. Life in North City is difficult, and we can't let the soldiers suffer any injustice."
Qi Yuning continued, "This is our tea business in Minzhou. This tea is extremely profitable. The Qi family has become rich thanks to the tea being sold overseas and to the countries in the Western Regions. The person in charge of this business is Kong Li..."
Ah Ping saw the booklet that Qi Yuning had shown her. The Qi family's assets were recorded in it, and they were already rich enough to rival a country. "The Qi family is so wealthy."
"Don't be fooled by the Qi family's wealth. They also spend a lot of money. Soldiers are not that easy to maintain."
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "Since I took over the family business, I have rarely had any free time. But now that you are here, sister-in-law, you can take over the important responsibility of the Qi family business."
Ah Ping was extremely surprised again and asked, "I answer it?"
Qi Yuning said: "You are the mistress of the Qi family, so naturally you should answer it."
Ah Ping covered her belly, pursed her lips and said, "Princess, I really can't take over such a huge family business. I don't have the ability."
A Ping knew that the palace was wealthy, but she had never imagined that the palace's assets were almost as rich as a small country. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was rich enough to rival a country.
"Mother, dear! Aunt!"
Lingling came into the house, holding a horsewhip in her hand and said, "Mom, Lingling can ride a horse now!"
Qi Yuning chuckled and touched Lingling's head.
Qi Yu'an walked in and saw three thick booklets. He looked at Ah Ping with a bad expression. He stepped forward and asked, "What is this?"
Qi Yuning said, "Since my sister-in-law has come into the family, all our family assets will be handed over to her. After all, I can't manage my parents' accounts after I get married."
Qi Yu'an frowned and said, "You are still a daughter of the Qi family after you get married, so how can you not take charge? Ping can't even read a few words. It will take her seven or eight years to take over the entire Qi family business. It's better for you to continue to manage it."
Qi Yuning said, "How can a married daughter still be in charge of her parents' account books?"
Qi Yu'an said, "There's no reason for an unmarried daughter to stay out all night. Didn't you do that too? Ping isn't suitable to manage this account book. She's too delicate and can't control the people under her. But you've gotten used to it."
Ah Ping also said: "Princess, I am too stupid to learn how to keep an account book. You should continue to manage the accounts. We are all family. After a woman marries out, she is no longer an outsider but a family member. Since we are all family, it doesn't matter who manages the accounts."
Aping didn't have any ambitions. When she saw the properties in the booklet, if there were only a dozen shops, a dozen farms, and a few thousand acres of land, she might have taken them over.
But these are tens of thousands of hectares of arable land, and there are only tens of thousands of hectares of arable land in Shancheng County. She really can't do anything about it.
Qi Yuning looked at Qi Yu'an and said, "Okay, I'll take care of the family business for now. Tell me when you want to take it back."
Qi Yu'an said: "Just keep it under control."
Qi Yuning looked at Lingling beside her and said, "If this happens, I won't have time to accompany Lingling. Lingling's parents can't be with her during the day, and they can't be together with her at night. How pitiful."
Lingling threw herself into Qi Yuning's arms, "Woo woo."
Qi Yu'an said, "I asked someone to open the side door, so Lingling's father can still come and accompany Lingling at night."
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "Thank you, brother."
"Uncle is so nice!" Lingling raised her eyes and smiled at Qi Yu'an, her eyebrows curved into crescents, "Lingling likes uncle!"
Qi Yu'an hugged Lingling and said, "Who does Lingling like more, Daddy or Uncle?"
"I like Daddy!" Lingling said with a faint smile.
Ah Ping said softly, "Your Highness, children always love their parents."
