1345 Private Soldiers, Feng Qingchen is beginning to be short of money

These people are fucking disgusting.

Feng Qingchen felt a chill when he thought of a woman who looked 70% like himself, lying under Prince Chun, with Prince Chun hugging her and calling his name.

If she could not bear to do it and did not want to implicate innocent people, she would definitely retaliate and find someone who looked 70% like Zhou Wang, sell him to a tavern, and make him a male prostitute.

The Ninth Prince knew that Feng Qingchen was very angry, but there was no need to hide it at this point. The Ninth Prince told Feng Qingchen with certainty: "Zizhou's plan was successful. He succeeded in making Prince Chun work for him, and also succeeded in making Prince Chun commit an unforgivable mistake. In order to protect Prince Chun, the emperor had to send Prince Chun away."

The charge was close to treason. Even if the emperor believed that Prince Chun would not pursue the case, his ministers would not agree, so...

Prince Chun is about to leave the imperial city forever, and he will never be able to return to the city even if he dies.

The Ninth Prince did not say this to Feng Qingchen. His Feng Qingchen did not need to remember other men, especially Prince Chun.

Although Feng Qingchen was still very angry, she knew that it would be useless even if she died of anger. Feng Qingchen said listlessly, "It's good that things have calmed down. It's good to stay with you today. I would be uncomfortable saving someone who looks 70% like me but is used as my substitute and sent to Prince Chun."

Given her personality, if a patient came to her, no matter how much she hated the patient, she would not stand by and watch him die. Hiding in the Ninth Prince's Mansion was a bit like an ostrich, but it was better than making herself uncomfortable.

The Ninth Prince did not speak, but just held Feng Qingchen in his arms and comforted her silently. When he saw that Feng Qingchen had calmed down, he said, "I have another good news to tell you."

"Good news? What good news?" Feng Qingchen asked uninterested.

"News about the Lu family." The Ninth Prince kept the secret on purpose because he didn't want Feng Qingchen to keep thinking about Prince Chun.

Sure enough, although Feng Qingchen was still a little uncomfortable, his attention was indeed diverted. He immediately became alert, half-knelt on the bed, and asked hurriedly: "Lu family? Is there anyone alive in the Lu family? Have you found them?"

The Ninth Prince shook his head. Seeing Feng Qingchen's disappointment, he immediately said, "Although there is no news about the Lu family, there is news about Lu Family Island."

"Lujia Island? Wasn't it massacred by the Xiling royal family back then? Could there be any survivors on the island?" Even if there were any survivors, they couldn't be living there.

"There are no survivors, but the most important thing of the Lu family is there."

"What is it?" Feng Qingchen asked.

"Back then, the Xiling royal family did not find the wealth." The Ninth Prince did not hide it. As a descendant of the Lu family, Feng Qingchen was qualified to know the whereabouts of the wealth.

If the Lu family has no direct descendants, then Feng Qingchen can be considered the heir to the Lu family's wealth.

"The Lu family's property?" Feng Qingchen looked disappointed and said generously: "I am not interested in the Lu family's wealth. If you need it, just take it." She also knew that the Ninth Prince needed money, and these riches would be more useful in the hands of the Ninth Prince.

“Qingchen, you don’t have to give up the Lu family’s property, but as a descendant of the Lu family, you have the responsibility to protect this property and not let it fall into the hands of outsiders. Prince Luo and the Queen know the whereabouts of this wealth, and they are trying to find a way to get it.” The Ninth Prince admitted that he was tempted by this wealth. If Feng Qingchen had nothing to do with the Lu family, he would have directly seized it.

Feng Qingchen frowned: "Prince Luo and the Queen? How would they know?" As a descendant of the Lu family, she didn't know.

"Princess Mingwei." The Ninth Prince only said these four words and Feng Qingchen understood.

turn out to be……

Feng Qingchen sneered: "Princess Mingwei used the Lu family's wealth as a springboard, this move is really beautiful. You are right, I can give up those riches, but I must not let them fall into the hands of the enemy."

The Ninth Prince undoubtedly understood her and knew what to say to arouse her fighting spirit. Knowing the Ninth Prince's little thoughts, Feng Qingchen was not angry because she really could not tolerate the Lu family's things falling into Dongling Ziluo's hands.

The Lu family's money could be said to be ownerless wealth. Feng Qingchen would not be angry if anyone took the money, but she would never mind if Dong Ling Ziluo took it.

Feng Qingchen had vowed in the Ninth Prince's Mansion that she was not interested in the Lu family's wealth. However, when she returned to the Feng Mansion and heard the reports from Tong Jue and Tong Yao, Feng Qingchen realized how much she needed money and how much she needed that wealth.

Raising spies, cultivating confidants, and getting information all cost a lot of money. With the money she earned in the past few years, she could at least support herself for a few more years, but...

Add to that the private army she has, and the one million taels of silver she has are really not enough.

Feng Qingchen looked at the five letters in her hand asking for Jun Xiang's help and burst into tears.

The other party's words became more and more urgent, and the amount of silver he asked for became less and less. Finally, he had no choice but to say that if Feng Qingchen really couldn't come up with the silver, he would clear out the two thousand veterans and beg Feng Qingchen not to disband them all because of their hard training.

They received orders from Prince Su and pledged their loyalty to Feng Qingchen for the rest of their lives. If Feng Qingchen didn't believe them, she could test him. They would carry out any orders Feng Qingchen gave them, even to attack the palace.

Alas... Feng Qingchen sighed heavily. The other party misunderstood her. She was not deliberately making things difficult for the other party, but she just forgot about it.

When she accepted Prince Su's 12,000 private soldiers, she was so happy that she forgot that these soldiers were handed over to her and she had to support them. Before she left, she did not tell the housekeeper to spend the money.

If it was a small expenditure of a few thousand taels, the housekeeper could still make the decision, but when it came to the expenditure of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, no one dared to touch it without her order.

This was really a wonderful misunderstanding. After delaying giving Jun Xiang the reward for several months, the other party respected her more. This was something Feng Qingchen had not expected.

After reading the letter, Feng Qingchen said to Tong Jue, "Withdraw 100,000 taels from the account to make up for the military expenses of the previous two months, and use the remaining money to buy the weapons they need."

After Feng Qingchen finished speaking, he burned the letter in his hand and did not stop until the letter paper turned into ashes.

"Ask the leader of the private army to see me in three days. I want to know the specific situation of that group of private army." After spending so much money, she had to let her see what the person who spent her money looked like.

"Yes." Tong Jue nodded, and after thinking for a while, he reminded in a low voice: "Miss, we have only money coming in and not spending. The money on the books is getting less and less. If we continue like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to support it for long. Although the industries in the mansion are profitable, we really can't afford such a large expenditure. Do you think we should do something else?"

There are many shops under the name of the Feng Mansion. The most popular flower shop in the imperial city is also under the name of Feng Qingchen. However, the speed at which these shops make money is far behind the speed at which Feng Qingchen spends money.

It costs money every month to raise private soldiers. Feng Qingchen rubbed his sore brow and said, "Go, contact the Chen family in Shandong."

Feng Qingchen originally wanted to wait until she got the Lu family's money, but after thinking about it, she felt that this was too passive. After all, they had not yet found out the specific hiding place of the wealth. To be on the safe side, she decided to eat the rich people first.

With the support of the Ninth Prince, the Chen family in Shandong would never dare to act recklessly!

Just as I finished explaining all the miscellaneous matters, a servant came to report: "Miss, Marshal Si is here to visit, and he is already in the flower hall!"

A note to readers: The prizes for the event are provided by the merchant. The process is a bit cumbersome, so those who are impatient can ignore it. The other party chose Acai’s WeChat because Acai has quite a lot of WeChat fans and they are all pretty girls.

Merchants cannot do unprofitable things. They want more people to pay attention to their products. Ah Cai does not advertise for any products. She only agreed to this activity because they promised to give skin care products to you. So you know...
