Chapter 176 Qin Mo, You've Gotten Out of Control!
"My new clothes are still lacking some stones of various colors for embellishment... Why haven't you presented me with the sock recipe?"
Wang Yushi's letter to Qin Mo was only a dozen or so words long, but her tone was really... informal. Is this still the same strong-willed, iron-blooded, and fierce woman?
The clothes were embellished with various stones... what kind of stones? Give the Empress, who's used to collecting rubies, emeralds, and diamonds, a pile of broken glass and see what happens?
As for angrily blaming himself for not submitting the sock formula, that's even more absurd.
Qin Mo knew that stockings were made from coal tar mixed with water at high temperatures, but this was something that industry could hardly produce in this world. He couldn't stand the stockings in this world, so he had no choice but to seek help from the "Great Alchemist" Seaman.
Ximan used to dislike doing these things, but now he is obsessed with "industrial beauty" and has no interest in Qin Mo's "new type of fabric".
But Qin Mo had plenty of ways. He directly bewitched Aiya and other beauty-loving elves to put pressure on them. The dull-witted Simon had no choice but to painstakingly research. He mixed silk, cotton thread, and plant juice and used alchemy to create a product that was completely pollution-free, comfortable, and form-fitting. However, the cost was also very high, making it an absolute top-tier luxury item of the time.
"Your Highness...Is there anything amiss?" Su Yu asked softly when she saw Qin Mo lost in thought.
"Oh! Besides this letter, has your master given me anything else?"
"Your Highness, there was none?"
"...Isn't there any New Year's gift?"
Qin Mo asked again, after all, since their first meeting on the snowfield, Wang Yushi had never taken other people's things casually, and she had exchanged two bottles of strong liquor for various dried fruits and other items.
Su Yu smiled, a hint of amusement on her face. "My master also left you a message: 'You tricked me into providing shelter from the wind and rain; how should we settle this score?'"
"oh!..."
Qin Mo finally understood that Wang Yushi was here to ask for "protection money." High-ranking officials were a lucrative position, coveted by many. Although he was also very powerful, he still needed protection. This was Qin Mo's original intention in cooperating with Wang Yushi in business.
"Come to my residence in a few days; I have some gifts to offer to your master," Qin Mo said, then got up and left.
"Your Highness, please wait!"
"Hmm? What else did your master instruct?" Qin Mo was stopped by Su Yu as she stood up, and asked curiously as she turned around.
"...Yes...this woman has something to ask of Your Highness!"
"Oh! You take a look first. I can't help with anything too difficult." Qin Mo looked at Su Yu, who was usually neither humble nor arrogant, blushing and biting her lip in distress, and teased her with a smile.
"The woman... is the descendant of a disgraced official who was fortunate enough to meet the Lord and survive. But I have a younger brother who was exiled to Suyab, and he was finally pardoned and returned this year... Disgraced officials face many hardships, so as his elder sister, I want to find him a business so that he can settle down, get married, and have children."
Su Yu spoke with great difficulty, revealing the pain in her heart and the importance of her younger brother.
"What business do you want him to go into? The spice business?"
"No, no, no, those who deal in spices are all powerful and wealthy; it's too conspicuous. The woman wants him to deal in high-end goods, like sugar, wine, and fabric... If only that glass could be exported..."
"Forget about that glass. We don't even have enough on my ship right now. Even if production increases in the future, your brother won't be able to get involved. My brother and I are waiting!"
"If you want to do business in sugar, wine, or fabric, just go directly to her and she'll arrange it for you. My housekeeper is too busy; you don't need to ask him for anything." Qin Mo pointed at Fei Ji with her finger, indicating that Su Yu should go directly to her.
"This woman thanks Your Highness. I will never forget Your Highness's kindness."
Su Xiang Lou was too famous in Da Yuan. As a girl who aspired to be self-reliant, she knew that if she did business directly with a wealthy man in Da Yuan, some things might happen that she didn't want to do. That's why she approached Prince Qin Mo. In fact, Qin Mo was the most prestigious in Da Yuan, but he was also the most arrogant. Women who had to work in brothels to become madams had very accurate judgment.
"May I ask your name, young lady, and what kind of business you are in charge of?" Su Yu thanked Qin Mo and then turned to Kaihime to ask.
“I own several sugar and wine workshops and weaving workshops. You can have your brother negotiate with my manager.”
Kaihime did not answer Suyu directly. Instead, she left the address of her workshop and turned to follow Qin Mo. She ignored any pretty girl who tried to get close to Qin Mo, regardless of their intentions.
"What are you showing off for? So what if you own a few workshops? No matter how much you're favored, you're still a Japanese woman. Can you really become the principal wife?"
After Qin Mo and the other person walked away, Su Yu cursed as she watched Kaihime's retreating figure, but her curses had a sour undertone to them.
Despite her current appearance as a maid and bodyguard, Kaihime is actually a well-established businesswoman with her own workshops and fleets. She sells Daikan specialties throughout Japan, making her a true tycoon in the business world.
"Kai, let me pick some gems of various colors. I want to give them to Danfengyan." Kai-hime knew Wang Yushi's identity; otherwise, she would have challenged Qing Ning long ago after advancing to the Yellow Realm.
"Your Highness, give her my heart of life!"
Qin Mo looked at Kaihime in surprise and said, "That was a gift from the Cui family to Captain Narita. It has nothing to do with anyone else, anyone else... understand?"
"Yes! Kai understands." Kaihime answered exceptionally loudly, her eyes misty and dreamy, but her face full of joy.
