Never mind, you’ll know once you meet him.
"Take Miss Jiang to the living room. I will be there shortly."
Tao Yuwei put down the spoon in her hand and ate two more meat buns. After eating, she went to the reception room.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw the heroine Jiang Siyan wearing a green dress and looking a little anxious.
"Siyan greets Princess Anle. Siyan's visit this time is a bit presumptuous, so please forgive me, Princess Anle!"
Jiang Siyan bowed, a look of nervousness on her gentle face.
"Excuse me, Miss Jiang, what brings you here?"
Tao Yuwei really wanted to know her purpose.
After all, we are not familiar with each other and are not sure what the other party is here for, so we might as well just ask directly.
After Jiang Siyan stood up, she carefully discussed, "Princess Anle, I have a good business here, and I want to partner with you. You only need to invest half of the capital."
She took a small jar from the maid behind her, held it in front of Tao Yuwei, opened the lid of the jar, and Tao Yuwei could see clearly what was inside.
“It’s sugar!”
Hearing this.
Jiang Siyan suddenly raised her head and her eyes suddenly lit up when she looked at Tao Yuwei.
"As expected of Princess Anle, you guessed it right away."
The wealthy people in Beijing are indeed different. They are knowledgeable and experienced. As soon as she took the thing out to show it to them, they guessed it right away.
"This secret recipe for making sugar was passed down from my maternal grandfather. My maternal grandfather had only one daughter, my mother. Now that both my maternal grandfather and mother are gone, this recipe has fallen into my hands. I'm very short of money, so I really want to make white sugar before I get married and own my own business. After I get married, I'll have my own confidence."
When she was a child, not long after her mother passed away, her father, a clerk in a small county town, could not wait to marry the concubine's daughter of a wealthy official.
For many years, as the eldest daughter of the family, she lived an extremely hard life and was always short of money.
Now that she has finally grown up, she heard two days ago that her kind stepmother is planning to marry her off to a powerful old man as a concubine in exchange for benefits for her father.
When her stepmother brought up this matter, her father nodded in agreement without even thinking about it.
This cannot go on any longer. She must find a way to become stronger, richer, and have a backer so that she can escape from their control.
"So, you're looking for me to invest in your shares?"
Tao Yuwei understood Jiang Siyan's purpose.
The heroine is short of money and hopes that she will invest money and start a business together.
Everyone is short of money, and she is short of it too.
Last night, Dad threatened her with silver to show up.
If she had more money, she wouldn't be controlled by others.
Very good, if there is money to be made, of course she will invest it.
White sugar is a rare commodity in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Once it is produced in large quantities, it can definitely be sold at a good price.
She found that the main type of sugar on the market is still malt sugar.
The raw material is made from wheat, and white sugar is only produced in some areas in the south of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Have you found the ingredients needed to make sugar?"
As soon as Tao Yuwei said this, Jiang Siyan became more determined to choose Tao Yuwei as her partner.
Princess Anle seems to be quite knowledgeable, and her status is also quite prominent. If we can get her to become a partner, the sugar-making business will have no worries about sales in the future.
When doing business, you don’t have to worry about some ignorant people causing trouble.
Maybe at the critical moment, he could help her suppress her unscrupulous father who was determined to marry her to an old man.
Jiang Siyan came to Tao Yuwei for investment after careful consideration.
In the capital, apart from meeting Princess Anle at the Left Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday, no other noble lady was willing to pay attention to her.
The only way she could visit the Left Prime Minister’s residence was because of her kind stepmother, who spent money and went around getting the invitation.
Originally, it was just to allow the stepsister to go to such occasions and make more friends with some prestigious young ladies. Or her father felt that it was inappropriate to just let the stepsister go out to play. If it got out, it would damage her reputation and hinder her future promotion.
Her stepmother had no choice but to let her go out with her sister.
"Yes, the only dowry my mother had left was a farm in the southern suburbs of Beijing. I had fifty acres of sugarcane planted there."
Afraid that she wouldn't believe him, Jiang Siyan quickly explained, "This year's sugarcane has already been planted in February. I can take Princess Anle to see it for herself."
After hearing this, Tao Yuwei's eyes lit up.
Very good, this year's sugarcane has been planted. In order to ensure the safety of her investment, she has to go to the farm in the suburbs of Beijing with the other party.
"Okay, this business is of great interest to me. Come to my house in two days and we'll go take a look at your farm together. After you come back, I'll consider investing in it. Okay?"
It is true that Tao Yuwei likes money, but she is too lazy to do business herself.
She likes the kind of business where she can get dividends every month without having to participate in the business.
In this way, she can just lie down at home and still earn money.
Jiang Siyan nodded excitedly.
With her own hard work, she was able to run this sugar business.
However, she had no backing, so it was very difficult for her to get a share of the business in Beijing.
Even if she managed to build up the sugar business on her own, it would be eaten up by those with deep backgrounds, leaving nothing behind.
Who knows, not only will he steal her secret recipe, but he might also bring her down.
This visit was quite fruitful. Jiang Siyan had made friends with Princess Anle.
Just like that, after seeing Jiang Siyan off, she remembered that she had promised Xiao Lichen that she would visit Prince Yong's mansion today.
She quickly ordered her maid Bai Shuang to go to the storehouse to prepare some gifts, and then she hurriedly left the mansion with her people.
By the time she arrived at the gate of Prince Yong's mansion, it was almost noon.
Well, getting up late means you are more likely to be late.
But who made her unable to get up?
Outside the gate of Prince Yong's mansion, the princess's maid had already come out to greet her personally.
Seeing her, the maid was extremely happy.
"Princess Anle, my princess has been waiting for you for a long time. Please follow me into the palace."
Led by the head maid, Tao Yuwei entered Prince Yong's mansion, which was decorated with exquisite carvings and had numerous buildings.
Along the way, Tao Yuwei kept praising the wealth of Prince Yong's Mansion in her heart.
Prince Yong Xiao Deyi, as the younger brother of the current emperor, has been in charge of the Northwest Army for many years and controls one-third of the military forces of the Great Zhou. His wealth is also among the top in the Great Zhou.
How could his mansion not be luxurious?
As she walked, Tao Yuwei looked around openly, not worrying at all about being talked about as petty.
When she came to Prince Yong's Mansion, she treated it as a trip.
It would be a waste not to see these free scenery.
The garden and rockery in the courtyard were very exquisite and the scenery was pleasant. She felt that it was even more quiet and peaceful than the Imperial Garden of Emperor Jianchang.
After walking around countless corridors, Tao Yuwei, led by the maid of the palace, arrived at a pavilion in the garden.
She was finally going to meet Princess Han Lingyun of Prince Yong, and she felt inexplicably excited.
Beautiful women, she loves to look at beautiful women!
