Chapter 373 [Go and deal with the rebellious son! ]
When Jiang Wanyue heard that Hou Xiaoxiao had even gone to her grandparents' house to borrow money, she became even more certain of her thoughts.
But in fact, Hou Xiaoxiao's borrowing of money was just a cover. She went to the General of Cavalry's group, Xue Wei, to select personal guards.
Jiang Wanyue showed an expectant smile on her face: "I'm waiting for He Lin and Hou Xiaoxiao's families to stumble in the northwest."
"They've put so much energy into preparing for the Northwest, so there must have been some oversight in the capital."
She took a sip of Jasmine Snow Bud. "If they lose everything in the northwest, and have to keep sending money there, they might even be unable to keep their shop in the capital running. Then my mother and I will have more opportunities."
In the past six months, most of the business in the capital has been divided up by the He family and the Jinxiao Chamber of Commerce. The other shops can only pick up what is left by others. Unfortunately, these two giants are not easy to deal with, and they do not have the strength to challenge them.
Now, the two men were so excited that they started arguing over the affairs of the Northwest. The merchants in Beijing were very happy. They were all waiting to see the two of them suffer losses. While the snipe and the clam fight, they would be the ones who benefit.
"Wanyue, you're the one who sees things far ahead! Not only are you proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but you're also well versed in business. Unlike me, who only nitpicks at words."
Miss Cheng looked enviously at Jiang Wanyue's silk, satin, and pearl jewelry, as well as the fruit on the table that she rarely got to eat on a normal day.
Jiang Wanyue touched the agate and coral bracelet on her hand. This bracelet was a treasure found for her by the Li family of Linzhou. It could nourish the body and also bring blessings and ward off evil spirits.
Although the goods in the He family's and Hou Xiaoxiao's jewelry stores were indeed magnificent, Jiang Wanyue felt uncomfortable when she thought about giving money to these two people.
Fortunately, there is the Linzhou Li family. Their roots are in Linzhou, but their business has flourished. However, they never cross the border to interfere in the business of wealthy places like the capital, Yuzhou, and Ancheng. The eldest son of the Li family can find rare treasures in the world and serve distinguished guests like them.
Many officials and wealthy businessmen liked to go to the Linzhou Li family for purchases.
The Li family also has the Yuelai Escort Agency to provide express delivery. Jiang Wanyue's food, clothing and other expenses are all provided by the Linzhou Li family, which is extremely luxurious.
Even the plate of lychees on the table were sent by the Li family and are extremely fresh.
Jiang Wanyue peeled a lychee and put it into her mouth, revealing a proud and enjoyable expression.
Thinking that these lychees were sent from the southernmost part of the country, she narrowed her eyes, wondering what kind of hard work Jiang Lili, who was exiled from Haizhou, was doing at the moment?
Or is he seriously ill?
She needs to find someone to find out whether her eldest sister is dead or alive.
Death would be the best, but life would be miserable.

"Oh, I'm worried—"
A medium-sized fishing boat was floating on the blue sea with two fishing rods on it. Sheng Zhixing was fishing, Master Liao was playing in the water, and Jiang Lili was sitting on a lounge chair eating roasted lamb legs and drinking pineapple juice. The expression on her face was indeed miserable.
It’s not that someone is causing trouble or something unexpected happened, but the troubles of happiness——
The breeding cycle of sheep is very short, less than three months.
The sheep of Miguo are cared for by the herders led by the breeding experts of the Bor grassland. They are growing well and reproducing rapidly.
Half a year has passed since they came to Miguo at the beginning of the year. The number of sheep in each pastoral area has increased exponentially, and now the pastoral areas are overcrowded with sheep.
In order to ensure the good growth of the lambs, new sheep pens had to be opened, and even three or five sheep pens were temporarily built in the royal city.
Jiang Lili could hear the endless bleating sounds almost every day in Mi Country, so she ran to the sea to take a break.
There are too many sheep but few people, and no way to sell them. It's really worrying.
The sheep of Miguo are carefully raised, so their meat is delicious. However, eating mutton every day can be tiring and can easily cause indigestion.
Now Jiang Lili can still use backpacks and red envelopes to transport batches of adult sheep to the modern era.
An organization is responsible for sending these specialty sheep from other worlds for quarantine, and Xiaopang finds merchants to sell these sheep.
As for Xue Wei, he had not yet arrived in Jingshui County. It would take another half a month. Moreover, many lands in Jingshui County were barren, so there was no way to start raising lambs immediately.
But Jiang Lili couldn't stay in Mi Country forever just to be responsible for transporting the sheep.
She has to open up sales channels and find a stable delivery point, so that she can be a hands-off boss and get out of her own loop, and the business of Mi Country can also develop in a virtuous circle.
Wen Qiao had already taken a group of Mi people, who were good at communication and had a talent for business, and were sailing on large ships to sell their high-quality Mi sheep to the small countries around them that they had once traded with, exchanging the sheep for various spices and gems...
After the people of Mi Kingdom have gained experience in going to sea with Wen Qiao, they can lead their own fleet to trade at sea.
However, these small countries have a low level of commercialization, a small population, and limited purchasing power, so they need to open up more sales channels.
Jiang Lili looked at the vast ocean and suddenly remembered that Sheng Zhixing had floated over from the sea. "Speaking of which, Brother Sheng is still the fugitive emperor of Nanzhao."
Nanzhao was a small country compared to Dasheng, but it was much bigger than their Mi Kingdom. Moreover, Nanzhao not only had a large population, but the people also lived a comfortable life, and their mutton and wool could be sold at a good price.
Master Liao poked Sheng Zhixing, who was fishing, and said, "I wonder what's happening in Nanzhao right now. Have those unfilial children of yours finally come to any conclusion in their fight?"
Sheng Zhixing was wearing a fisherman's hat and sunglasses, sitting on a small fishing stool, with a thermos cup filled with tea at his feet, looking like a happy retired old man.
Maybe because he was hard of hearing, he didn't hear Jiang Lili's question and his attention was all on his fishing rod.
Xin Che used a wet towel to wipe Jiang Lili's hands: "How about we take someone over to take a look?"
Master Liao agreed wholeheartedly: "By the way, I can help Old Sheng deal with these unfilial children who sacrificed their own family for the sake of justice."
Sheng Zhixing finally reacted at this moment. He turned around and looked around: "Who of you poked me just now?"
Master Liao: ...
His eyes widened, and at this moment he really wanted to give Sheng Zhixing some of his life span: "Your reaction is so slow, could it be Alzheimer's disease?"
Sheng Zhixing angrily took off his sunglasses and said, "Nonsense, a fish just took the bait and I didn't have time to respond!"
Master Liao shrugged. "We were saying that the sheep from Nanzhao are quite valuable, so why not try to sell them there? Then we thought, why not just conquer Nanzhao directly?"
"Ah? Attack Nanzhao?"
Sheng Zhixing sat up straight, feeling excited. He had been lying down in Mi Country these days to enjoy his retirement life. He was very happy at first, but it became boring after lying down for a long time. Wen Qiao was already busy taking people out to sea, and Sheng Zhixing couldn't sit still either.
He thought about how miserable he had been when he had risked his life to escape from Nanzhao, and the fire of revenge burned in his heart: "Let's go and deal with these rebellious sons!"
