Chapter 586 Erya makes money
Song Yubai admires Erya very much.
Because Erya really did as she said, she seized every business opportunity without any mistake.
Making money itself is nothing, and Song Yubai doesn't take that little bit of money seriously.
But the backers behind Erya aroused his great curiosity.
Arya didn't even hide it from him and told him the news in advance.
It’s just that he himself didn’t believe it enough and didn’t dare to invest more, otherwise Song Yubai couldn’t imagine how much his net worth would be now.
Doubling is the minimum.
The missed business opportunities make people sigh, and the prospects for the future make people excited.
——To do business, you still need someone above you.
Song Yubai is not a fool either.
He thought about the whole story for a long time before coming to find Erya again.
After a brief greeting, he got straight to the point: "Zhou Zhou, can you tell me a little bit about who your backer is in the court?"
"A supporter in the court?" Erya feigned surprise. "That must be the emperor! Lifting the maritime ban? Isn't that the only one who has the final say?"
"Zhou Zhou, you're being disingenuous." Song Yubai fanned himself, "I've also helped you with real money. I sincerely want to cooperate with you. Don't tease me. We can discuss any conditions. I'm serious this time."
"I believe it." Erya smiled, "I believe that the Second Young Master is much more reliable when it comes to business than when it comes to love."
Isn't this the day she's been waiting for?
"Let's talk about cooperation." Arya took the initiative.
Song Yubai was eager to try, but he was still very cautious.
"How much unused silver do you have?" Arya said, "give me as much as you can. This amount must be something you can afford to lose."
"Can you afford to lose?"
"Yes. It's possible to lose everything."
Song Yubai was not scared, but became more interested.
"What if I make money? What can I get?"
"Blessings to future generations." Erya said meaningfully.
Song Yubai raised his eyebrows, "Zhou Zhou is still trying to take money out of my pocket and is still holding back from me?"
"I just thought that keeping it a secret would benefit us all." Erya said calmly, "Hasn't the Second Young Master already guessed this? Some things can't be taken back. If you say them out loud, you might get dragged into this."
Song Yubai was silent, staring at Erya without blinking.
Erya smiled in response.
She and Song Yubai were too close.
Song Yubai knew all her movements well.
So it is impossible to hide it.
In particular, she bought so many ships and never returned after leaving Guangzhou Prefecture, and continued to transport supplies to the north.
And most importantly, she had connections in the court and could know the news of lifting the maritime ban in advance, which was not difficult.
But the difficult thing is that she even knew that Prince Yan was planning a rebellion several months in advance.
It's hard not to think too much about this kind of thing.
Especially a "shrewd businessman" like Song Yubai, who is so clever and scheming, how could he not be suspicious?
Even if he didn't know ten points now, he could at least guess five or six points.
So Erya just made it clear.
"You paid for the money, it just passed through my hands. Second Young Master, please trust me. I will not take away the credit in the future, nor do I need to. After all, I am a woman, and I cannot serve as an official in the court, right?"
After a pause, she continued, "But if it comes directly from you, if anything goes wrong, it might implicate the Song family."
Her attitude is actually very clear.
They only want money, but they will protect the Song family from direct involvement to the greatest extent possible.
At most, they just lost money.
Erya knew that this was extremely attractive to Song Yubai.
Spending money to buy power, even if there is a possibility of failure, is a temptation that is difficult to refuse for a man who is not short of money.
"If you have any concerns, you can tell me and I will solve them." Erya was full of confidence.
"Zhou Zhou, can you tell me who you are?"
"No." Erya refused flatly without hesitation, "Because this matter is of great importance. I have dealt with the Second Young Master and know that you are a reliable person, so I am willing to give you a handle. But I can't casually associate myself with others."
"If I were to easily reveal someone else's secret today, then Second Young Master would have to worry about whether I could keep it for you in the future, wouldn't I?"
Song Yubai smiled and leaned forward and asked, "Really?"
Erya took a step back and said with disgust, "You really don't have any attraction between men and women to me."
Don't play tricks, just cooperate well.
"King Yan." Song Yubai slowly uttered two words.
Erya smiled and nodded: "So? Second Young Master, are you willing to lend me a hand?"
It’s to help her, not to help King Yan.
"You really know me very well." Song Yubai said.
"Mutually." Erya smiled.
"Do I have any choice now?" Song Yubai suddenly sneered, "If I'm not mistaken, the 100,000 taels you gave me before probably went to the same place..."
With King Yan.
He has been involved.
There is no way out.
When it comes to funding rebels, there is no difference between 100,000 taels and 1 million taels of silver.
Everyone must die!
"No," Erya said seriously, "Although I am indeed helping the prince, I have no intention of involving my friends. It is true that I could threaten you in that way, but I have never thought of doing so. At least I dare say that so far, I have not revealed to anyone else that the 100,000 taels of silver came from the Second Young Master."
Song Yubai didn't say anything for a long time, as if he wanted to find signs of lying on her face.
But no.
Erya was very open and let him look at her.
He wanted to get more information about Erya's identity, but he couldn't.
Finally, Song Yubai said helplessly: "I know, you must have a very powerful backer, I mean, besides the prince."
Because whether it was when the late emperor was alive or now, Prince Yan has always been an unlucky guy in the court.
He probably has no say in matters like lifting the ban on sea trade.
"If you think so, that's fine." Erya said without leaking a single word.
"Someone is protecting you in secret." Song Yubai said again.
"Hmm?" Erya raised her eyebrows.
"I wanted to send someone to check on you," Song Yubai said frankly, "but I found out that I was being targeted instead."
Erya smiled, neither admitting nor denying.
In fact, she knew it in her heart.
Because the person sent by Yun Ting was Jiang Yu.
——The secret guard sent by the Duke’s Mansion to protect Yun Ting.
We are all old acquaintances.
However, Yun Ting didn't mention it, and Erya didn't expose it.
Erya has grown up.
Not only did I see a bigger world and have more money, but I also understood more subtle emotions.
For example, Yun Ting treated her.
But I can only pretend not to know about feelings that cannot be reciprocated.
They are separated by thousands of miles, each carrying their own mission. They cannot send letters via carrier pigeons or discuss trivial matters like whether they are in love or whether there will be any results every day.
Time will give the best results.
Just like Chang Hui and her, aren’t they doing well now?
