Chapter 584: Trust Your People
Cen Xi shook his head: "I don't know exactly what it is. To be honest, I still don't understand what he is going to do."
Ji Yunshu held his chin and thought for a moment, but couldn't figure it out.
She looked at Cen Xi again: "Don't you really want to stay away from him? If you want, I can get you out of here as soon as possible?"
"Then what? I can't just hide my identity. The Cen family is so big, it would be too easy for him to take revenge on me. From the moment I got involved in this, there are only two outcomes: either he dies and everything ends, or he lives and the fight continues."
Ji Yunshu sighed: "This person is too dangerous."
Cen Xi smiled and comforted her: "I told you earlier, don't worry about me. To be honest, I think the current situation is quite interesting."
Ji Yunshu: “…”
Well, to each their own.
While other engaged couples are enjoying the romantic moments together, they are playing palace intrigues.
After a while, Qian Qian also came. Although she was young, she was very sensible.
I usually spend my time in the yard and rarely go out.
But today is Chinese New Year, and Ji Yunshu had someone invite her over early.
Qian Qian's father just passed away this year, and she originally planned to celebrate the New Year alone, but Ji Yunshu said that there were few people in the mansion, and it would be more lively if everyone got together.
When she arrived, Ji Yunshu and Cen Xi were talking about business.
Cen Xi has not been idle these days. Since he is here, he still has to do business.
This way I can keep a better eye on Lin Huixue.
After the war, ordinary people in Mobei were short of daily necessities, both food and cloth.
Business was booming, and all the items she urgently transferred were sold.
In just a few days before the New Year, he made a lot of money.
Ji Yunshu was a little jealous: "If I had known this business was so easy to do, I would have joined in too."
She has the convenience of her status, so if she wants to make money, it is very easy.
Qian Qian happened to hear this and quickly said, "The war has just ended, and everyone is generally hostile to the Mobei people. It's okay for ordinary merchants, but if Sister Ji were to do business with the Mobei people, it would probably be detrimental to the general if others knew about it."
Ji Yunshu was just saying it casually. She had wanted to do this business a long time ago. She smiled at Qian Qian and said, "Our Ah Qian is really thoughtful."
Qian Qian felt a little embarrassed by her praise, and she was also worried that if she spoke out suddenly, the eldest lady would get angry.
As expected, the eldest lady is a very easy person to get along with.
She asked curiously, "Is the young lady short of money?"
Logically speaking, a young lady of her status, married into a marquis's family, should not be short of money.
But she found that Ji Yunshu seemed to be always thinking about making money.
Speaking of this, Ji Yunshu covered his forehead. Shen Qingchuan's glass is very popular, and this winter, the money is almost endless.
She asked Shen Qingchuan to use her dividends directly for Yichen's research.
I thought this money should be enough, and there might even be some left over.
Who knew that Yichen would become more and more unrestrained after he had money. He wrote to her a few days ago, asking for not only money, but also iron ore, coal and other things.
Ji Yunshu felt that if this letter fell into the hands of others, they might think that she wanted to rebel.
She had a headache and asked Zhao Shen to send the letter directly to the capital.
She really wants the technology of this era to develop rapidly and is willing to pay any price to do so.
But she really couldn't stand Yichen's speed of spending money which was faster than running water.
Let the emperor worry about it, this should be his business.
Who knew that two days ago, Zhao Shen received a reply from the emperor.
Emperor Jingming, as the ruler of a country, actually acted like a rogue, saying that he trusted his subordinates and since these matters had been handed over to Ji Yunshu, he would not interfere.
If something was missing, he would find a way to supply it, but he had no money.
Ji Yunshu almost burst into curses when he saw the letter. Is this something the emperor could say?
It was only when Zhao Shen comforted her and promised to help her solve the problem that she suppressed the urge to do something outrageous.
But since Yichen already had some clues, she couldn't bear to let him stop.
So for a long time to come, she will probably face a problem: lack of money.
If not for this, she wouldn't have set her sights on Mobei.
Earning some foreign exchange can just solve my problem of lack of money.
But she also knew in her heart that there was a severe drought in Youzhou this year and the grain harvest was already poor. In the next few years, Daxia would face many natural and man-made disasters, and she didn't know how many of its own people would starve to death or freeze to death.
So she kept the little food she had.
Who would have thought that she, whose dowry was so generous that all the women in the capital envied her, was actually extremely poor.
She looked at Qian Qian's curious eyes and felt like she had lost all hope in life: "You don't understand."
She is not just short of money, Yichen is a bottomless pit, the kind that no amount of money is enough.
Qian Qian was a little confused. The eldest lady seemed to be really short of money.
She couldn't help but want to help: "Well...my parents left me a lot of money. If you need it, you can take it all."
Ji Yunshu looked at the little girl with a sincere expression and waved his hand, saying, "That's what your parents left for you. It will be your dowry in the future. How can I touch it casually? Besides, even if you really gave it to me, it would be a drop in the bucket."
Qian Qian fell silent for a moment. It made sense. If someone like Ji Yunshu was short of money, a small amount of money would definitely not be enough.
She was a little depressed.
Seeing this, Cen Xi wanted to speak up, but Ji Yunshu said first, "Unless you are willing to fill it with the entire Cen family, it won't be enough."
Both of them were a little puzzled. Qian Qian was out of the question. Her father was a general at the border and didn't come from a high-class family. It was impossible for him to leave her much money.
Cen Xi is different. The Cen family is a well-known wealthy businessmen in the capital. If the entire Cen family is to be invested, what is Ji Yunshu going to do that requires so much money?
Ji Yunshu felt that there was nothing to hide, so he said to Qian Qian, "Do you remember the weapon I used when we were assassinated on the way back?"
In fact, it wasn't just on the road. That day, an assassin broke into the yard and the noise was so loud that Qian Qian also came.
So I saw Ji Yunshu shooting.
She grew up in the frontier and was always thinking about going to the battlefield, so she is much more sensitive to weapons than ordinary people.
He almost immediately realized that if that thing was used on the battlefield, it would definitely be a winning weapon.
She was very excited.
But the matter was of great importance, and if Ji Yunshu didn't mention it, she would definitely keep it to herself.
When Ji Yunshu mentioned this, he nodded with blazing eyes: "Of course I remember, it's amazing."
Ji Yunshu said, "To be honest, that was a weapon that the Emperor had the Crown Prince secretly develop. Just when they had some results, they had already spent nearly a million taels."
It would be better to blame Zhao Shen for this kind of thing.
Besides, if it weren't for Zhao Shen, the emperor would never have entrusted such a matter to her.
Qian Qian: “…”
Cen Xi: "..."
They were both shocked by the amount, but Cen Xi was more knowledgeable and experienced. "Shouldn't this money come from the national treasury?"
