"This humble subject is unaware!"
Before the drought, the journey from Yangcheng County to Liangcheng took about five hours, but the waterways were well-connected, and the water transport by the canal boats was very busy.
Qin Yue Zhao lowered her eyelashes thoughtfully.
Lin Sangui and He Meng have families with them, so they probably wouldn't lie.
However, large-scale mining operations are generally controlled by the government, and even if private individuals want to buy them, the quantity will not be too large.
Their blatant actions suggest that many people in the court must have arranged the entire process well in advance.
The purpose of sending several merchants from Liangcheng together was simply to divert attention.
After a long pause, she looked up and asked, "Did Jia Dafu contact you about all these things? Was Jia Zhengzhong involved?"
Jia Zhengzhong was willing to disregard even his own father to save his own life, and she was worried that he was faking it.
Both of them shook their heads.
"I'm not sure about that, but we definitely didn't see Jia Zhengzhong involved in the handover of the copper mine to us."
Qin Yue Zhao nodded.
"A wise bird chooses a good tree to perch on. You've done a good job in this matter. If you think of anything in the future, inform me immediately, understand?"
Upon hearing His Highness praise them, the two nodded hurriedly.
"Yes, Your Highness, rest assured, we will follow your lead from now on!"
"Yes, you are now Liangcheng's second parents. From now on, if you tell us to go east, we will not dare to go west, and we will never dare to hide anything from you again."
As he spoke, He Meng smiled and said, "Your Highness, we have collected a lot of money from our relatives and friends during this period. Please don't find it too much."
As soon as he finished speaking, seven or eight servants carried in four large wooden boxes.
The box was opened, revealing gold and silver jewelry, pearls and agates, the Four Treasures of the Study, and antiques and paintings.
"Your Highness, these are all gifts they wanted to give you. They said that during the famine, they caused you a lot of trouble and harmed many people in order to survive."
“I have already taught them a lesson on your behalf and compensated the injured people. Please do not blame me anymore.”
Looking at the dazzling array of jewels, Qin Yue Zhao was too happy to be angry.
"Very good! Since you are so sincere, I will certainly tell the gods the truth!"
"The gods recently sent me a lot of bread, candy, and children's clothes. I remember that your family also has many children. I'll ask Uncle Chen to take some back with me later."
Lin Sangui was overjoyed.
"Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness!"
He Meng happily kowtowed repeatedly.
"Your Highness, you are too kind. The children in the manor will be very happy to see new clothes and shoes. Their shoes and cotton-padded coats are worn out, but now they will no longer be afraid of the cold winter."
The two thanked him profusely and withdrew.
Qin Yue Zhao smiled and had the wooden box carried into the bedroom.
Looking at the account books and the pile of gold and silver jewelry, he took out paper and pen and wrote a note to Chu Xiao:
"Gods, the wealthy merchants of Liangcheng have sent you a great deal of gold and silver treasures, which they wish to offer to you."
After Chu Xiao delivered the supplies to Qin Yue Zhao, he and Mu Zhi Cheng moved the porcelain into the car.
I was originally planning to wait for the coal briquette factory to deliver the goods, but they called first and said it would take several more hours before they could deliver.
So he decided to have a meal with Mu Zhicheng first, but unexpectedly the note floated down.
Qin Yue Zhao said she had gotten him several more boxes of gold and silver jewelry.
He glanced at the van, which was crammed full, and replied:
"No rush, I'm not available to receive it right now."
Qin Yuezhao: "Then I'll give it to you along with the porcelain?"
Chu Xiao: "Okay."
Qin Yuezhao: "Okay! Could the gods grant us some water? The reservoir outside the city is ready."
