After it was over, Ning Xi'er kept Xue Lin and Liao Yueming behind for the time being.
Regarding expenditures, Wei Xunfang voiced his opinion: aside from personnel costs, offsetting expenses...
All other expenses were recorded under Liao Yueming's account.
At the same time, Ning Xi'er will provide a large sum of money in advance, which will be temporarily stored with the two of them for future use.
Even though it wasn't explicitly stated, judging from previous communications, the current situation, and the magnanimity of Prince Cheng, Xie Zhun...
The two were perfectly aware of what they had gotten themselves involved in.
Since Ning Xi'er had made this arrangement, the two of them naturally felt obligated to comply.
However, Liao Yueming politely declined Ning Xier's offer to provide funds in advance.
He said the brewing business had already started to turn a profit.
We had already discussed this with Xue Lin beforehand, in addition to making up for Yongning's financial deficit and covering our own operating costs...
It was originally planned that 30% of the profits would be reserved as a thank you gift to Ning Xier Wine Company.
Ning Xi'er waved her hand in refusal and smiled calmly, "Did you hear Mr. Wei mention the iron smelting technology?"
This can be put on hold for now; there are many other ways to make money this way in the future.
Those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles.
Since I've made the offer, I can certainly provide it. As long as you handle things properly and well, Mr. Liao's current hard-earned profits...
In fact, there will be more opportunities to earn money in the future.
Of course, I understand your good intentions and appreciate your thoughtfulness. However, there's really no need to worry at the moment.
However, I'll need to keep an eye on fund management and material procurement in the future!
Upon hearing this, Liao Yueming no longer declined.
Ning Xi'er asked the two of them where to safely store the supplies...
Xue Lin and Liao Yueming pondered together. Liao Yueming was currently homeless and was temporarily staying in the county government compound.
Although the county yamen runners were not under Xue Lin's command, they were not yet inclined to openly rob him...
Compared to other places, the backyard of the county government office, where Xue Lin lived, was relatively safer.
After hearing this, Ning Xi'er decided to temporarily store the money of the Prince of Cheng's mansion in Xue Lin's backyard and borrow some guards from Xie Zhun to protect it secretly.
Once Liao Yueming found a safer place, Qin Yuan trained the people, and they settled themselves in.
Ning Xi'er and Xie Zhun personally escorted the person to the village entrance. Ning Xi'er instructed them that she would personally deliver the valuables along the way that evening...
Instruct Liao Yueming to prepare for the takeover.
After everyone left, Ning Xi'er asked Eunuch Xu to summon Zheng Chengguang, Zheng Ye, Qin Yuan, Xuan Feng, and others in.
Ning Xi'er plans to stay in the desolate area for only three days. In the following days, she will conduct intensive training for these people and teach them how to use firearms.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately perked up!
Knowing that the princess had experienced some extraordinary adventures and that the plane she traveled on was so remarkable that no one dared to ask about its origins, already having witnessed quite a bit...
Now, upon hearing "firearms"...
My anticipation level is instantly off the charts!
After everyone had left, Ning Xi'er and Xie Zhun sat down alone.
The two spoke in unison, with Ning Xi'er expressing concern for Xie Zhun's leg.
Xie Zhun asked Ning Xi'er if she was tired.
The two looked at each other and smiled, feeling that even sitting quietly like this, time was exceptionally precious.
Ning Xi'er instructed Xuanfeng outside the tent to bring in the iron ore that Wei Xunfang and Qin Yuan had sent.
She took this opportunity to check Xie Zhun's pulse and confirm his health condition.
When I touched the pulse, my fingertips trembled slightly.
Thinking back to the kiss on my forehead last night, it felt even more intimate than this touch of fingertips...
But for some reason, my heart is still pounding at this moment.
Ning Xi'er examined him carefully for a while and found that Xie Zhun was much better than when she left.
This shows that he did indeed exercise diligently and recover seriously during her absence.
Ning Xi'er suddenly smiled and tilted her head to look at Xie Zhun, "Xuan Shuang said that you don't eat properly when I'm not around..."
Xie Zhun couldn't help but soften his heart when he saw her like this.
He reached out to smooth her hair and gently stroked her face, feeling that Ning Xi'er was indeed more obedient than before after leaving.
Perhaps it was because I saw my family and brother.
Xie Zhun sighed inwardly, then quietly pulled her into his arms, letting her rest her head on his lap for a while.
Xie Zhun sighed softly, "I like you very much. Perhaps seeing your family is what makes you like this..."
But you get to see your family, while I can't see you...
What should I do...?
Ning Xi'er opened her eyes wide, never expecting to hear such words from Xie Zhun.
I could hardly believe my ears; I couldn't reconcile the person before me with the person I had first met—the one who seemed aloof and guarded.
Ning Xi'er turned around to face him and comforted him, saying, "It will all end someday..."
Xie Zhun sighed, his expression a mixture of helplessness and languor, yet also revealing his own air of nonchalance...
The smile on her lips momentarily captivated Ning Xi'er, leaving her mesmerized.
With Ning Xi'er like this, how could Xie Zhun possibly resist?
His gaze burned as he looked up, and just as he was about to lower his head, he heard Xuanfeng's voice outside the tent reporting, "Your Highness, Your Highness! The ore has been retrieved!"
Xie Zhun pressed his lips together into a straight line!
My body was tense, and I sat up straight.
His face was full of frustration.
Ning Xi'er sat up from his lap, chuckling softly, then covered her mouth to stop, afraid of angering him...
His shoulders shrugged with laughter, rising and falling like mountains...
