"If he handles it well, it's his duty; if he doesn't, it's because he's not strict in his governance."
He Qingzhu gritted her teeth and blurted out a sentence.
"I currently have 50,000 taels of silver, including all the revenue from Huaxuetang's shops this month, it's all here..."
"..."
Wang Buyou was somewhat surprised.
"Are you crazy? You...you don't want to do it anymore?"
Leaving aside the fact that Huaxuetang could make a profit of 50,000 taels in just six months, just consider that He Qingzhu, a woman, had worked so hard to build Huaxuetang into this scale, and now she just wants to give it up.
What do all the flowing water features at Huaxuetang represent?
This means this guy has really gone all out, he's squandered his entire fortune. He doesn't care how he gets supplies next month, he's just going all in.
"I have no other choice..."
He Qingzhu leaned back in her chair. She didn't have enough money. If she asked Fengyuelou to raise some more, she should be able to scrape together 80,000 taels.
The young woman didn't know what was wrong with her. On one hand, there was her own dream, and on the other hand, there was the greater good of the country. She wanted to choose herself, but she just couldn't stop herself from talking.
Why are you doing this to yourself?
You could have simply ignored it and kept quiet. What does it have to do with you anyway?
“Pingyang County is my home. Before Hua Xuetang came along, I was just a country bumpkin, the kind of girl you wouldn’t even glance at if you walked down the street.”
"If Pingyang County falls, I will have no home. Pingyang County can do without the He family, and the Great Yan can do without Hua Xuetang, but He Qingzhu cannot do without a home."
I will not stand idly by and watch any chance of my country being destroyed or my family perish, even as a woman, even if my role is like that of Jingwei filling the sea with a pebble.
I, He Qingzhu, simply cannot stand idly by.
Young Master Wang was somewhat moved. He was first and foremost the eldest son of the Wang family and a candidate for imperial merchant, but he had forgotten that he was a person from the Great Yan.
Even if it weren't for fame, fortune, or imperial power and wealth...
"I'll give you fifty thousand taels."
Wang Buyou picked up his wine glass, clinked it against He Qingzhu's empty glass on the table, and continued speaking.
"I'm a man, you can take the rest."
"you……"
"You don't think all I care about is making money and having fun, do you? I'm the legitimate son of the Wang family, you know what a legitimate son is?"
The eldest son gets the best of everything, not only food and supplies, but also the best tutor.
Wang Buyou had made up his mind. He couldn't let his parents' money go to waste. His son was also a man of national righteousness.
Thank you.
"Pour me another glass of wine, please?"
"Don't you have hands?"
"???"
"No, you can't do that. He Qingzhu, you weren't like that just now."
The young woman rolled her eyes at him and ignored him.
