Chapter 168 Still Want to Make Money

Jiang Jiu didn't expect that the original owner's physical condition was so poor.

The group finally arrived at the villa with much effort, and Jiang Jiu discovered that this courtyard was bigger and more comfortable, and almost the entire mountain belonged to the original owner.

Qiuyue explained: "This was given to Her Royal Highness by the late Emperor. Her Royal Highness is partial to the Princess. The Princess should recuperate here. No matter how many women enter the palace, the Princess is the mistress of the palace."

Yes, that’s exactly what Jiang Jiu thought.

Her current identity is different from Jiang Jiu's before. She is the Princess of Qi.

Zhao Zhuoxi's status in the capital is different now.

In the past, he was a sickly prince and the powerless King of Qi.

Now he is the popular regent, and even the emperor has to listen to him.

There are many people who want to cling to others.

But no matter how many women there are in the palace, there is only one princess like her.

If she were still Jiang Jiu, she could naturally ask Zhao Zhuoxi to have only her as his woman for the rest of his life.

But she had changed her face after all, and Zhao Zhuoxi didn't recognize her, and she could do nothing about it.

Jiang Jiu has never been a person who takes love seriously.

It turns out that Zhao Zhuoxi doesn't care about her and it's better for him to focus on his career.

The original owner had a lot of dowry, so she had to manage it well and make money.

"Qiuyue, go get my dowry account book."

When she came, Jiang Jiu asked her to bring the account book with her. Now that they had just settled down, Jiang Jiu wanted to check the accounts.

Qiuyue obediently handed over the account book.

"Princess, do you also want to learn from Madam Jiang, become a wealthy businessman, and help the prince manage his finances..."

Jiang Jiu didn't think of replacing himself.

"I just like to do something, to make money from money, and it's a happy thing to make money."

Qiuyue said, "We can't spend all the dowry of the princess even if we eat and drink for a lifetime. Besides, you are the princess, how can you be contaminated by the smell of copper? Besides, the princess will be in charge of the palace's middle income sooner or later..."

Qiuyue thought that the princess wanted to use her dowry as a training ground so that she could take over the affairs of the palace.

Jiang Jiu did not argue with her, but although the dowry looked good, many things in it were fake.

For example, Jiang Jiu knew the two shops that the eldest lady of the Su family brought as a dowry. They were empty because the original merchants lost money and stopped renting them due to the bad geographical location.

The two shops are just sitting there empty, and they are not making any money.

In addition, many of the jewels given by the princess are royal. One bad thing about royal things is that they cannot be pawned as silver in a pawnshop.

So it can only be worn and cannot be exchanged for money.

As for the rest, they were all intangible objects. The original amount of silver was three thousand taels, but later, for some unknown reason, only five hundred taels were left in Jiang Jiu's hands.

Maybe Mrs. Su still couldn't bear to let go.

After all the calculations, Jiang Jiu can enjoy a good life, but he doesn't have much money to spend.

It would be fine if I stayed in the palace and let Zhao Zhuoxi take care of me.

But Jiang Jiu was a person from the ancient times with modern ideas, so she still felt it was safest to use her own money.

It was just five hundred taels, she kept three hundred taels and only gave two hundred taels to Qiuyue.

"Go back to the capital, find a bank with a lot of money, invest these two hundred taels in it, and buy their iron ore.

I can get twenty taels of dividends per month."

Qiuyue was surprised: "Isn't this just lending money at interest?"

Jiang Jiu nodded: "Not really, it can only be considered an investment. When the owner of the Zhuang family does business, he will attract some investment, and wealthy people will invest in it."

"If you don't have money, you can go and borrow it. One hundred taels of silver will give you fifty wen interest. This is the kind of business their bank does, but not many people know about it. Most of them are their own people."

"There are also outsiders who invest because they believe in their business. The return on iron ore is the biggest business."

One tenth of the profit would be high profit no matter where it is.

Qiuyue thought for a moment and said, "With such a high profit, why would the bank let us invest?"

Jiang Jiu handed her a ring.

"Just take this..."

The ring was a keepsake of a small boat. Jiang Jiu was burned beyond recognition in front of everyone.

But Yiye Pianzhou's token was still there. When Jiang Jiu cleaned the room, she would naturally find it in the place where she hid it.

No matter what, if Yiye Pianzhou sees this, he will definitely come to look for her.

Qiuyue didn't know that Jiang Jiu's purpose was not to make money, but to find someone.

She wants to find Xiao Yimo and Chu Yu, the helpers who have accompanied her through life and death.

All the shells and bullets made by Jiang Yao were used up by her.

I guess Xiao Yimo must have figured it out by now.

Cannons and artillery shells are hard-core products. Whether the court uses them itself or sells them to the military, they are extremely profitable.

Jiang Jiu still wants it even if he changes his skin.

Jiang Jiu was waiting here for Xiao Yimo to find her.

Although Zhao Zhuoxi did not follow Jiang Jiu to the summer resort.

I still asked someone to investigate the pink woman who looked exactly like Jiang Jiu.

"The Qin family sent someone here? A maid?"

Zhao Zhuoxi felt unbelievable about the news he heard.

"What on earth does he want to do? Whether it's my brother or me, as long as the throne doesn't fall to someone else, it's fine. Does he want to be the second Prime Minister of Zhou?"

Lu Ming thought for a moment and said, "It must be that Miss Qin wants to enter the mansion as a concubine..."

Sure enough, less than two days later, Academician Qin invited Zhao Zhuoxi to his mansion to reminisce about the past.

After Zhao Zhuoxi recovered from his illness, Master Qin came to see him once, but he couldn't explain anything.

Qin Yuan was a little anxious.

This time, when Zhao Zhuoxi was invited into the mansion and they were the only two left, Qin Yuan asked him directly.

"My Lord, what are you thinking? Are you really willing to give up the throne just for a woman?"

Zhao Zhuoxi thought of the third prince. He was the same, but seemed so selfish to others.

"I am in poor health. When the time comes for me to ascend the throne, I am afraid I won't live for more than a few years..."

Qin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "My granddaughter has admired you for a long time. If you don't give up, she can become your concubine and serve you..."

Zhao Zhuoxi did not say whether he agreed or not.

Chen asked Qin Qing to bring her maid Qiqi to serve food to Zhao Zhuoxi.

As soon as the door opened, Zhao Zhuoxi's eyes were fixed on Qiqi's face, unable to take them away.

Qin Qing seemed like an invisible man. No matter what he did or said, Zhao Zhuoxi turned a blind eye.

He was gentle at first, but his face turned livid a moment later.

When she came out of the room, she wished Qiqi wasn't around anymore.

"Mother, you let me become the concubine of the Prince of Qi, but he wants his eyes to be on Qiqi. What's the point of me being a concubine?"

Chen smiled confidently: "Of course you are extremely honorable. I heard that your grandfather is trying to persuade Prince Qi to ascend the throne. By then, you will be the queen of the palace."

Ah? Qin Qing was pleasantly surprised. It would be much easier to enter the palace before the King of Qi entered the palace than to wait until he ascended the throne.

"Mom, what if Prince Qi doesn't want to be the emperor?"
