Chapter 86 Let the General's Mansion Pay More Blood
Shen Yu'an was furious when he heard this, and clenched his fists to swing it!
"Xiao Huaiyu, do you dare?!"
He knew that this bastard had no good intentions, but his mother and Zhizhi still managed to fool him so much that he was stunned. He was too gullible.
Why can't they see through this guy's true face?
He clearly saw it at a glance!
Xiao Huaiyu did not dodge this time, but raised his hand and grabbed his fist.
Then he twisted it with his backhand, causing Shen Yu'an's forehead to bulge with veins in pain. He only managed to endure it and not cry out.
“Tsk…”
Xiao Huaiyu clicked his tongue and pushed him away.
The tone was mocking.
"My Lord, you're not bad at fighting, but how come your two sons are each more useless than the last? No wonder you have to use a woman to take the blame for you...Zhizhi marrying you is like a flower stuck in cow dung. But you don't know how to appreciate your blessings, you deserve to be divorced!"
"you--"
Shen Yu'an's face turned blue and red after hearing what he said, and he just thought he was extremely hateful!
But before he could speak, Xiao Huaiyu had already walked away.
“Damn it!”
Shen Yu'an punched the tree trunk, extremely angry.
"Xiao Huaiyu, don't even think about succeeding! Zhizhi can only be mine!"
…
Return to the Marquis' Mansion.
Jiang Wanning and Song Zhizhi carefully counted the assets they had that could be converted into cash. Together with the part sponsored by the eldest princess, the total amount did not exceed 130,000 taels.
Song Zhizhi was a little worried and couldn't help but scold the emperor again.
"We're still short of 70,000 taels... The damn emperor is such a piece of shit! We really have to kick him down and let the princess take the throne!"
Jiang Wanning was very happy that she had such awareness.
Echoed.
"That's right! If the relief funds are short of silver, he can ask the ministers to collect it. It's not like he can't get it. But he only picked on you and took it from you. Isn't that bullying? Because you are a woman, he thinks you are easy to bully."
Song Zhizhi clenched her fists.
I was so angry that I ate eight buns in one breath!
"Once I get the divorce letter, I'll make a lot of money! I'll have the princess use it to open a porridge shop, buy medicinal herbs, build a relief center, build roads, bridges, and riverbanks... and use some of it to win over the ministers! Humph, I just don't believe that only men are legitimate and women can't be emperor!"
"Hey! Eat slowly, don't choke..."
Jiang Wanning poured a cup of tea and handed it over.
Knowing that she was holding back some anger, and seeing that her face was a little pale, he was afraid that she might get sick from anger, so he said a few more words to comfort her.
"In fact, the money we spent today is not wasted.
Think about it, His Majesty personally bestowed upon you the business name 'Qingzhi', which was a unique favor from the emperor among all merchants in the court. In addition, His Majesty promised to allocate 30% of the disaster relief supplies and let you purchase them together with the government. This means that you are an imperial merchant!
"When you make your business more famous, the disaster victims who receive aid will surely be grateful for your kindness. The hearts of the people are priceless."
They also saved a lot of advertising costs, so they still made a profit.
No loss whatsoever.
The only thing is that the emperor's attitude is too high, and the way he eats is a bit ugly, which makes people feel a little disgusted.
After hearing Jiang Wanning say this, Song Zhizhi felt much more comfortable.
She looked at her mother-in-law with bright eyes, and her eyes were filled with unconcealable admiration.
"Mother, why do I feel like you're better at business than I am? Although I'm good at bargaining and have some vision in business, if you hadn't reminded me at the banquet today, I really wouldn't have thought of so much..."
Jiang Wanning: Of course not, she is a professional!
As the strongest worker in the workplace, she had to give up her hobby and go into business because her family business suddenly went bankrupt and was burdened with a large amount of debt. She faced the pressure from her boss and relied on her hard work to become a partner of the company.
As a result, she was hit by a car just after she took the company public.
I was transported into this damn sadistic novel!
How can I not be angry!
But since she is here, she might as well make the best of it. It is rare to meet a daughter-in-law like Zhizhi who has a talent for business, which makes her worry less.
With a little guidance from her, Zhizhi will be able to learn smoothly.
"Well, maybe it's just like yours, born that way... Don't forget, my mother's family is also a merchant family, but they run a small business. Plus, my health isn't very good, so I got married early and never had the chance to venture out..."
Seeing her mother-in-law's regretful look, Song Zhizhi immediately held her hand and said sincerely.
"Mother, you have taught me so much. Even if Shen Yu'an and I separate in the future, I will still be filial to you! Every penny I earn from now on will have a share for you!"
Jiang Wanning smiled brightly upon hearing this.
"Okay, our Zhizhi is the most capable. I will follow you and enjoy the good life from now on."
Look, her daughter-in-law is so sensible. Isn’t she more considerate and filial than that rebellious son Shen Yu’an?
As the two were discussing, Chunhua ran in excitedly.
He said excitedly.
"Miss, it's done! According to the recipe you and your wife came up with, the sugar is ready! And someone from the kiln has sent over with the news that they can start working tomorrow. Please go there in person with your wife to see the quality of the glass..."
Hearing this, Song Zhizhi's face lit up with joy, and she couldn't help but hold Jiang Wanning's hands and shook them twice.
"Mother, this is wonderful! We are going to be rich!"
Jiang Wanning just smiled and said nothing.
Package.
With her technical support, coupled with Song Zhizhi's business connections and business talent, wouldn't it be easy to get rich?
Alas, how could she be so discerning? She had discovered two great potential stocks in politics and business, and each of them was completely devoted to her.
What should I do if I have too much money to spend in the future?
…
Seven days later.
That was the day when Wanbaozhai held a treasure auction.
It is also the last day of the seven-day period given by the emperor.
Although Song Zhizhi brought back good news every time she went out these days, the time given by the emperor was too tight.
Even if they prepared in advance and produced some finished products that were higher than the market level, the first batch were almost all samples, and there was no time to mass-produce them, let alone put them on the market and trade them for cash so quickly.
Therefore, if we want to raise the huge sum of 70,000 taels as quickly as possible, the only feasible way at the moment is to auction the technology and formula.
He asked someone to put the newly-made finished products into boxes, and told Song Zhizhi to organize the recipes and take them with her. Then Jiang Wanning waved his sleeves and spoke loudly.
"Let's go! Go to Wanbaozhai——"
"Yes, ma'am!"
Everyone responded immediately, rubbing their hands and eagerly lifting the box, their faces filled with excitement, each one more active than the other!
Although they don't understand what a treasure auction is, and don't know how much these new things in the box can be sold for, they are not stupid... Madam and the Second Young Master's wife dared to make such a boast in front of His Majesty. Even if they are not 100% sure, they must be 99% sure!
If the Second Young Master's wife could really gather two hundred thousand taels of silver in just seven days, then what's the difference between her and the God of Wealth?
Naturally, they would try their best to curry favor with him. Even if they couldn't eat the meat, being able to drink the broth would be enough for them to have no worries about food and drink for the rest of their lives!
In other words, the second young master is blind.
Instead of protecting and coaxing such a treasure at home, you have to get entangled with some junior sister. You must have been kicked in the brain by a donkey!
…
Arrived at the entrance of Wanbaozhai.
As soon as Jiang Wanning and Song Zhizhi got off the carriage, they saw Shen Yu'an coming towards them quickly, as if he was there to keep watch over them.
"Zhizhi, I've inquired! At the Wanbaozhai Treasure Auction, only ten artifacts are auctioned each time, each worth no more than a thousand taels of silver... Even the most valuable item only fetched eight thousand taels.
Not to mention where you're going to get those treasures, even these ten items combined wouldn't even amount to a hundred thousand taels, so why bother with all this trouble?
Song Zhizhi glanced at him and didn't argue with him.
Seeing that he looked a little disheveled, I couldn't help but sneer.
"Hey, were you kicked out of the General's Mansion? Why are you so embarrassed... Isn't your good sister the most loyal? Why doesn't she care about you and give you some nice clothes to wear!"
Shen Yu'an's face froze and he was about to speak.
Then I heard Ji Lingzhu's voice behind me.
"Second Young Master's wife, you shouldn't say that. Senior Brother is a married man. How can I, an unmarried girl, get close to him?"
Jiang Wanning wanted to laugh when he heard this.
"So you also knew that Shen Yu'an had a family, and you also knew that you were unmarried... You were so shameless before and pestered someone else's husband, but now you are so anxious to distance yourself from it. It seems that you have climbed up another high branch!"
Ji Lingzhu's thoughts were exposed on the spot, and she couldn't help but look a little annoyed and subconsciously wanted to argue.
"I don't……"
When she looked up, she saw Xiao Huaiyu walking out of the attic. She immediately put on a happy expression and waved at him.
"Prince Xiao, I'm here!"
Jiang Wanning sneered faintly and took Song Zhizhi's hand and walked into the attic.
He only whispered a few words to Xiao Huaiyu when he passed by him.
"Since we're already here, let's make the General's Mansion bleed a little more."
Xiao Huaiyu curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Yes, sir."
