"Also," Jun Yannuo looked up at Qin Kou'er, "I think Xu Ming is determined to take this silver mine this time. Do you think he might send a large army there directly?"
Qin Kou'er immediately shook her head, "Even if this were public knowledge, let alone a secret, he wouldn't immediately send a large army over. First, Xu Ming is a military man. Before he acts, he definitely sends people to investigate the specific situation before sending a large force. Second, he must know the situation in these mountains, otherwise he wouldn't have waited so many years to make a move. Since he knows, he definitely wouldn't easily send the majority of people. Therefore, he will definitely send a small team to investigate first, and only after finding the right route and understanding the situation will he send a large force in. So, don't worry, Haiti and his men are only dealing with a small group. But,"
Qin Kou'er looked at Hai Tian with a very serious expression. "Tell Hai Di to pay close attention to the surrounding area. I mean, whether there's a large army stationed within a hundred miles. You must tell Hai Di to be careful about this. We need to be wary of anything else, but we must guard against the possibility that Xu Ming has stationed a large army around us. If that's the case, once the front is attacked, the army behind will instantly press in and trap you. That's the most important thing. Although your skills are high, they have more men! This matter is also related to our later plans, so you must be extremely careful, understand?"
"I know! Don't worry, Master, I will definitely discuss the best course of action with Haiti before we make a move."
Qin Kou'er nodded, then walked to a chair and sat down, tapping the back of the chair lightly with her fingers: "This matter must be taken at the foot of the Huailing Mountains. Only in this way can we make a strong impression on Xu Ming and let him know that Hu Tianyong has his eye on this place, and no one else can touch it!"
Thinking of this, Qin Kou'er suddenly smiled slightly and looked up at Jun Yannuo, saying, "You know, Hu Tianyong is having a big birthday celebration in a couple of days. If we send this picture to his desk and then let Xu Ming see it, do you think those two old men will look particularly unpleasant?"
Upon hearing this, Jun Yannuo immediately laughed, walked over and sat down next to Qin Kou'er, saying, "Not just particularly ugly! It would be absolutely hideous!"
The two of them burst into laughter at the thought of that scene.
Qin Kou'er slapped the back of her chair: "Alright! Let's do it this way! Send this and that calligraphy and painting to Hu Tianyong together, and then we'll watch a good show!"
Upon hearing this, Hai Tian immediately began tidying up the calligraphy and paintings on the table: "Alright, Master. I'm not going to guard the gate today. I need to get the paintings down first, lest we end up with none for ourselves!"
Seeing Hai Tian's expression, Qin Kou'er smiled even more happily.
After Hai Tian left with the things, Qin Kou'er turned to Jun Yan Nuo and said, "Tonight you're coming with me to Lan Lin Xue's place, and you can take the silver notes with you! Also, have you found all ten places that you asked Master Sun to look for?"
Jun Yannuo nodded: "We've already found a place for the ticket agency! And we've also selected several other locations in the surrounding area. We're just waiting for you to take a look before we finalize the decision!"
Qin Kou'er nodded in satisfaction, "That's good. I've already finished the paperwork for the ticket office in the capital, and the Emperor has agreed! It should be much easier now. In that case, let's open for business as soon as possible! Are we afraid of having too much money? In the current situation, as long as we have money, we're not afraid that Hu Tianyong and Xu Ming won't fall for it."
"Yes! I'll have them get it done as soon as possible!" Jun Yannuo said, then looked at Qin Kou'er with some curiosity: "What does Lan Linxue want us to go see tonight?"
Qin Kou'er immediately smiled and said, "Let's look after the children and have a meal while we're at it! Oh, right, speaking of looking after the children, we can't go empty-handed. Have Meiyan go and buy more writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, as well as some food for the children. Make sure we bring plenty, and we'll all go together tonight!"
Upon hearing this, Jun Yannuo became even more curious, "Are there many children? Why do you need to buy more!"
Qin Kou'er shook her head, "I don't know how many children there are! Judging from Lan Linxue's attitude, it's probably not a small number. We'd rather take more than give less, otherwise it would be impolite!"
At this point, Qin Kou'er added with a touch of gossip, "I heard that many of these children are orphans. Some are orphans of his men, and some were picked up by Lan Linxue. They all look very pitiful. So, it's no problem for us to give them more. One hundred taels of silver can fill several carts!"
Jun Yannuo smiled and nodded, "Alright, I understand! You don't need to worry about it. Since there are many children, we'll send more!"
At this point, Jun Yannuo surprisingly showed an expression of appreciation for the first time. "I didn't expect that the Crown Prince, who is usually so spoiled, would have such a heart. If all these children are really like this, then it's fine if we have to pay for their upbringing! It'll prevent him from running out of money!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Kou'er looked at Jun Yannuo with great surprise, "Eh? I say, Chief Steward, aren't you always tight-fisted and don't let me spend money recklessly? Why are you being so generous this time?"
Jun Yannuo glared at Qin Kou'er, annoyed. "You're spending money on corrupt officials, of course I want you to spend less! It's better if you don't spend at all! This is about raising children, how can we spend less? You don't need to worry about this. We'll not only send some writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, but later I'll also see how many children we have. If necessary, we'll prepare some cotton-padded clothes for the children in the winters. In short, we, Qin Tiange, should raise children the same way Lan Linxue does!"
After saying that, Jun Yannuo stood up and walked out very dashingly.
Qin Kou'er smiled helplessly as she watched Jun Yannuo's retreating figure. The toughest guy with a soft heart.
