She felt like something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
That's why her expression looked a bit serious today, and she kept frowning.
"Including the contracts issued by all parties, they should also have your permission, Gu Jian Gong, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Cheng Gujian answered calmly.
He himself had no interest in getting involved in this matter, but as the nominal ruler of the imperial family, he naturally had to keep a close eye on it.
This contract model was suggested by his subordinates, and after thinking about it, he agreed to it.
After all, there doesn't seem to be any problem here. Xu Shi's side really spent real money, and it was like water flowing out of his hands. Nobody knows where he got so much money... Thinking about this, he even felt a little unhappy, which was rare for him. Brother Xu, your family is so wealthy. When you came to visit, you only brought two boxes of gifts. Wasn't that a bit too little?
He had also witnessed the prosperity of the Poseidon Stone market. Just now, it was mentioned that a minister had signed a contract for a castle at full price. However, an earlier fact was that someone had already used a contract to exchange for a nice house in the lower city, which caused quite a stir at the time.
This incident actually put his mind at ease. Previously approved contracts and orders might have been quite restricted, but now they have been relaxed considerably.
"Is that so..."
Dongfang Xiao nodded thoughtfully, "Since you, Lord Gujian, also agree, then I can rest assured."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Cheng Gujian said seriously, "In my opinion, the price of Sea God Stone may not keep rising, but normal price fluctuations are inevitable. Even the prices of cattle, sheep and grain traded among ordinary people change every day, don't they?"
"Then I'm just going to ignore it?"
These words dispelled many of the little empress's concerns, and her brows finally relaxed.
Of course, there's another layer of meaning to this: you'll be responsible if something goes wrong, right?
Cheng Gujian nodded slightly, tacitly agreeing to this.
"That's fine then."
Dongfang Xiao nodded, "As expected, you are still the most reliable person, Grand Duke... By the way, I asked you to send a letter to Xu Shi asking to see him, why haven't you received a response yet?"
"Your Majesty, Xu Shi's reply only arrived two days ago. I have been busy with official duties lately and forgot about it for a while."
Grand Duke Gu Jian paused for a moment, then took out a document and handed it over. "The letter says that his injuries have healed and he must come to see His Majesty. He will probably set off in the next couple of days."
"Okay, he certainly has a big ego."
The young empress's tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction. After all, she was the ruler of a country. Even if you were a stranger, I wanted to see you, and you were taking so long to do so. It was disrespectful of me.
"Then you should keep a close eye on him, Your Excellency. When he arrives in the main city, make sure he comes to see me immediately."
"Yes, then I shall take my leave."
After the daily interview ended, Cheng Gujian stood up, bowed, and strode away.
Dongfang Xiao remained seated at the desk in the study, his right hand clenched tightly, so tightly it even trembled slightly.
The truth is, it wasn't that she "felt there was a problem and couldn't understand it," but rather that she had already vaguely thought of a possibility.
The price of Neptune Stone fluctuates, which is understandable.
But what if the drop is too big... what will be the consequences?
This seems to be a problem that no one pays attention to, and no one will pay attention to it. The market is booming right now, and saying things that are detrimental to trading will get you attacked.
What's the point of saying that? Are you just being sour because you can't afford the Poseidon Stone? Enough already.
Even though she was aware of this, she didn't seem to intend to stop it.
Because if that's really the case, perhaps...
This is the only chance she will ever have in her life.
She's going to take a gamble.
...
Silver Pine Island.
Xu Shi was in a good mood today, or rather, he had been in a good mood for the past few days.
After all, Silver Pine Island is thriving. With the endorsement and promotion of Pan Cheng, the island's owner, the islanders have also accepted the circuit renovation, and the daily facilities of every household are now moving towards electrification.
This is quite an interesting story. To avoid unnecessary trouble, the construction of the signal tower and the laying of circuits were done in a very discreet manner, especially the area behind the mountain, which was completely sealed off. Many islanders had no idea that such things existed.
When everything was finally completed, everyone was still confused, and it naturally became shrouded in mystery... So when Pan Cheng issued the order to modify the circuit, many people were still somewhat resistant, or rather, they retained a natural fear of the unknown.
But after experiencing the convenience of electrification, all concerns vanished.
This is all so convenient, and it's free—Xu Shi had no intention of charging them extra for electricity. With the widespread adoption of the power system, batteries are basically unnecessary, and power generation is also powered by water. This can be considered a free aid to Pan Cheng, the elder brother.
In the City of Night Sin, Su Lin and her team have also arranged manpower, and talent support is ready to arrive at any time.
There is a vibrant, flourishing beauty, where all things compete and thrive.
He was playing games with his sweet daughter right now—he didn't know where Xia Ke'an got the idea to suddenly suggest going to the beach with him, so as her father, he couldn't refuse.
"You've really regressed to the age of ten, haven't you...?"
Even so, seeing the old lady there excitedly building sandcastles, he couldn't help but want to complain.
What are you saying?
The white-haired girl rolled her eyes at him, but her hands kept moving. "You stinky daddy said he'd take me to the amusement park, didn't he? Did we go? Did we go?"
