"Thank you." Zhou Canglan said, "I almost fell into the Queen's trap."
"You know the truth about your mother's death. If you want to overthrow the queen and the imperial concubine, you must fight for it. Only by becoming the emperor of the Great Zhou can you make them pay the price."
Qin Wu supported Zhou Canglan for her own sake.
Telling him the truth and making friends with him is also for the purpose of being able to live safely in the Great Zhou in the future.
In fact, he was not very interested in competing for the position of crown prince.
But now, he must fight!
For Qin Wu, for myself!
"I know. Don't worry. I won't let you down."
Qin Wu: "..." Does this sound like he is trying to fight for the position of crown prince for her?
Qin Wu didn’t think too much about it. As long as he was willing to fight for the position of crown prince, her chances of surviving in the future would be greater.
...
...
The next morning, Qin Wu got on the imperial teacher's carriage and led a team to Yucheng to transport relief supplies.
The snow on both sides of the road was piled up very deep, but the snow on the official road had been cleared and the horses' hooves were nailed to prevent slipping on the road.
The road was difficult to travel on and the horses could not move fast. It took Qin Wu and others two days to reach Yucheng.
The prefect of Yucheng brought people to greet him.
Many people have starved to death in Yucheng. If they continue to endure for another three to five days, even more people will die.
Those who froze to death were relatively few, mainly because there was no food.
Not to mention the food rations of the rich businessmen, even the owners of grain stores were unable to buy and sell grain.
This heavy snowstorm came too suddenly. No one expected the snow to be so heavy. The landslide lasted for a month.
Yucheng was the first city to suffer from the snow disaster. Heavy snow fell all over the sky for a whole month, and it has only stopped temporarily now.
With the food sent by the imperial teacher and the doctor Qin Wu, the people of Yucheng finally saw hope.
But the relief grain was only enough for the people of Yucheng to eat for five or six days.
After all, there were six or seven cities affected by the disaster.
The harvest this year was not very good. The government offices in various cities did not have much grain stored, and it was impossible to spare some to send to other cities for disaster relief.
The only way is to quickly clear the road so that the merchants' caravans can pass.
However, when this snowstorm occurs, caravans from all over the country will want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, and prices will be driven up at that time.
The lives of the people are still not guaranteed.
The food delivered was not much, but there was hope for the people as long as they could survive a few days.
Qin Wu has Chamber of Commerce bases in various cities in the Great Zhou, but the National Master is watching her here, so it is impossible for her to go to those people to inquire about the current business conditions of the Chamber of Commerce.
Anyway, she had prepared everything the Imperial Master wanted, and she couldn't take out more.
As for whether the people can survive the snow disaster, that is up to the imperial master.
Qin Wu’s task was to treat the people suffering from frostbite and cold illness and to boil medicine for them to take.
Here, Qin Yinnuan was once again worried about money.
Qin Yinnuan caused the Yunjing Chamber of Commerce to greatly exceed its budget for manufacturing down jackets, and the money approved by the Ministry of Revenue was simply not enough.
Originally, he was thinking of finding other people to jointly contribute money and make achievements together, but who knew that the Lin family of Lin Bogong Mansion spread the news that what Qin Yinnuan did was unreliable.
If you invest with her, you may not get your money back.
Although the new gadgets Qin Yinnuan had created before were popular in Shangjing for a while, there seemed to be some legacy issues every time, and in the end that was it.
Everyone knows that Lin is rich, and her mother's family is a wealthy businessman who supplies royal fabrics. What she said shows that she is not optimistic about Qin Yinnuan, so naturally many people dare not join Qin Yinnuan in investing and making money.
Besides, they had never seen how this thing worked. They only heard Qin Yinnuan brag about it, but hadn't seen it make any profit. No one was stupid enough to spend the money.
However, some people also believed that the Lin family and the Qin family had a conflict because of their son's injury, which led them to slander Qin Yinnuan's novel creation, and some people still joined in.
But he was very cautious and didn't invest much silver, only about 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.
For a rich person, thirty or fifty thousand silver coins are not a lot.
But this amount of money is not enough for Qin Yinnuan to use.
It was clear that there was no way to solve the problem of food shortage. After all, there was a food shortage in Kyoto and it was impossible to raise supplies. The emperor could understand, but she had boasted about these down jackets, saying that they would definitely keep the soldiers warm and solve the problem of freezing.
If she fails to produce it, the emperor will not trust her anymore even if he does not punish her.
Therefore, even if she had to pay for it herself, she had to complete the task of delivering the down jackets!
Since her family had no money left to provide subsidies, she gritted her teeth and went to find Qi Xiuzhe.
"Brother Xiuzhe, I'm still short of some money. Can you lend me some silver first?" Qin Yinnuan said confidently, "You know something happened to my eldest brother. The emperor fined him three million silver coins. We have no money left at home."
"Don't worry, when this winter is over, I will definitely return the money to you with interest in the spring."
Qin Yinnuan has always been disdainful of asking others for money. If she had to, she would ask them to give her the money themselves and cooperate with her.
Because borrowing money will make people look down on you.
She doesn't want to be looked down upon like this.
But if she hadn't been forced to do so and was in urgent need of money, she would have had to lower her head and borrow money from Qi Xiuzhe. "You know, I asked the emperor for the preparation of warm supplies for Bei Liao in order to make a contribution."
"If I have done something meritorious and the emperor commends me, I will definitely ask the emperor to reinstate you. I am doing this for you."
"But if I can't do it, the emperor will be angry, and I won't be able to ask for a reward for you."
Qi Xiuzhe held Qin Yinnuan, who was worried about him, in his arms and said softly, "You are the only one who thinks of me like this. I will help you raise as much money as you want."
He knew that Qin Yinnuan was always optimistic and could find ways to solve any difficulties on her own.
If it weren't for his reinstatement, she wouldn't have to be so distressed.
After all, she is a woman. Even if she fails to complete the emperor's task, the emperor will not be too harsh on her.
He also heard from his father that the emperor had also asked other people to prepare supplies for Northern Liao.
There was really no need for Qin Yinnuan to work so hard, but she was so concerned about him that he was deeply moved.
Thinking about Qin Wu, who was willful, cruel and vicious, and had disturbed his entire family. Now his mother was ill, and even his mother was frightened by Qin Wu's cruelty and could not speak.
In comparison, how could he not feel sorry for Qin Yinnuan?
"Really? Thank you, Brother Xiuzhe." Qin Yinnuan's face was full of smiles and sunshine.
Qi Xiuzhe felt warm at the sight.
"Can you give me one million silver?" Qin Yinnuan immediately asked for money.
One million is a lot, but the Qi family may not be able to take it out all at once.
Qi Xiuzhe remembered that Qin Wu had told him before that if he needed money, he could go to Shangjing Money House to withdraw it.
I don’t know how much silver was taken out.
Go get it first.
When the time comes, he will take out the remaining money from the household funds managed by his mother and lend it to her.
However, when Qi Xiuzhe went to Shangjing Money House to withdraw money, he couldn't get a single cent.
"Prince Qi, Miss Qin Wu has already abolished the credit terms between the money house and the Qin and Qi families. If you want to withdraw silver, please exchange it with silver notes first." The servant of the money house said politely.
