She recalled how people who fled from war or went into business hid their silver in the novels she had read before.
Oh, right!
"Take two hundred taels of silver to the silversmith tomorrow and have it all forged into thin, long pieces!"
Fan Jin was taken aback, but quickly realized what he meant and asked, "Are you planning to hide it in your clothes?"
Shui Qing nodded: "What I was thinking was that I couldn't make silver hairpins or silver bracelets. If disaster victims or rioters came, wouldn't that be blatantly saying that I'm easy prey?"
"Let's unsew open the hem of the inner garment and carefully sew the thin silver strip inside, making sure it's completely invisible. This silver isn't touched easily; it might just become our life-saving money!"
Fan Jin then added, "We should keep all the remaining silver, except for some necessities that we can't buy in the mall."
A look of confusion flashed across Shui Qing's eyes.
"The world is unstable. Even if we can go out, grain will be extremely expensive and scarce. It's not reasonable to use grain to exchange for bamboo mushrooms, skirt mushrooms, and water chestnuts."
"We need to buy it with silver. It's easy to find a reason. We can say that we'll dry it and store it until the world is more stable before sending it out." Fan Jin didn't keep Shui Qing waiting and quickly explained to her.
The online store must have sufficient deposits; the more the better!
With an online store, you have protection no matter where you are; it's a true lifesaver.
Shui Qing also shares this consensus.
The mall's business must be done!
She couldn't forget it; she hadn't thought of it for a moment, but now, reminded by Fan Jin, she realized that the three hundred taels of silver in her savings was far too little.
The amount of usable silver is even less!
She sighed softly, "If only another large sum of money could come in."
Fan Jin chuckled. Where would the money come from?
The daily income from rice wine is readily available, and the income from calligraphy brushes is even clearer.
However, "Don't worry, the new emperor has only been in power for a few months. It won't be quick to reduce the power of the vassal kings. Besides, even if he starts to reduce the power of the vassal kings, with so many vassal kings, it would take at least ten months to reduce them by one per month."
"When it's the King of Geese's turn, it might be a year or two later. By then, we might have accumulated a large sum of money selling calligraphy brushes and rice wine."
Ling Ran said that the late emperor had more than twenty sons. After deducting those who died, there were still more than twenty sons remaining, including those who were granted the title of prince by their relatives.
Of these twenty-odd individuals, the nine vassal kings who commanded large armies and guarded the frontiers were the most powerful and were the targets the new emperor truly wanted to eliminate.
If Shui Qing hadn't taken history classes, she would have truly believed these words.
But the reason why their new emperor failed was because he did not take things slowly and steadily, but was too eager for quick success, and deposed three vassal kings in one month!
After that, people died one after another, and were demoted one after another. Who could not rebel?
Just as Ling Ran said, the new emperor's path was too smooth, so smooth that he became reckless and believed that he could do whatever he wanted, and that whatever he did was right.
Now she only hopes that the plot will deviate from its original direction!
In that case, perhaps no more feudal lords would rebel...
That's a good idea, but let's not think about it.
Given the current situation, we can only prepare for the worst, otherwise, when that day really comes, we'll have nowhere to cry!
For those who have elderly parents to care for and young children to raise, the worst thing they can do is take risks, and they should never fight a battle they are not confident of winning.
Suddenly, the door was pounded on loudly, followed by Fan Jiang's excited and joyful voice:
"Mother, Father, come out quickly."
"Look who's here!"
