Meng Qingqian didn't think much about it, or perhaps she had already made up her mind.
She said naturally, "Yes."
Upon seeing this, He Yunxiao asked, "How much silver do you plan to spend on Mengbao?"
"Silver? What silver?" Meng Qingqian feigned ignorance.
He Yunxiao felt awkward. Given the current size of Daqi Bank, it was worth at least 500,000 taels of silver. Even after deducting the deficit he had spent, it could still be sold for 300,000 or 200,000 taels.
This is no small sum of money; we can't let Mengbao get away with it by being cute.
"Mengbao~ You're kidding me. Why don't you buy silver from the bank?"
Meng Qingqian bit her lip. She naturally knew how to spend money on shopping, but with the national treasury empty, if the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver spent could be saved, it could be used for many other things.
Meng Qingqian gathered her emotions, and some tears welled up in her eyes.
He Yunxiao understands her, and she understands He Yunxiao in return.
The best way to deal with He Yunxiao is to cry.
"Aren't you going to see me off?" Mengbao looked at He Yunxiao with teary eyes.
He Yunxiao panicked immediately, "Hey, Mengbao, why are you crying? I...I..."
Seeing He Yunxiao hesitate, Meng Qingqian steeled herself, leaned softly against him, and, unusually, pleaded, "Brother Yunxiao, please give it to Mengbao, okay? Please~"
"Okay..." He Yunxiao couldn't resist Mengbao's sweet talk and regretted it as soon as he said it.
Before Meng Qingqian could even feel smug, He Yunxiao added, "Giving it to Mengbao is fine, but giving it to Qi is not."
Meng Qingqian: ?
"If the State of Qi wants it, they have to pay money to buy it. Three hundred thousand taels of silver, not a tael less."
Meng Qingqian's expression changed, and she climbed off He Yunxiao, saying, "No way! You promised to give it to me!"
"But I didn't say when I would deliver it, did I?"
"You're cheating!"
"Didn't Mengbao use her charm?"
"Me!" Meng Qingqian's ample chest heaved with anger at He Yunxiao. The duck that was about to be eaten had flown away, and no one would be willing to accept that.
“Other girls bring their family's things to their husband's family. Who is like Mengbao, always thinking about taking things from her husband?” He Yunxiao said.
"Not yet." Meng Qingqian's cheeks flushed slightly.
"You can still run away?" He Yunxiao leaned close to Mengbao's face.
Meng Qingqian turned her head slightly, her face flushed, and did not reply.
Finally, He Yunxiao backed down, "For Mengbao's sake, two hundred and fifty thousand taels. That's the lowest I can offer."
"The national treasury has no money," Meng Qingqian continued stubbornly.
"Hmm?" He Yunxiao moved closer to Meng Qingqian and gently blew into her ear.
In an instant, Mengbao's beautiful cheeks flushed red, and her eyes, which held both power and allure, were filled with mist.
He Yunxiao chuckled softly. He knew Mengbao's body better than she did herself, and he wasn't joking at all.
"Ten, ten thousand taels," Meng Qingqian said through gritted teeth, her face flushed.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand taels, that's the bottom line."
"One hundred thousand taels."
He Yunxiao looked at the woman in his arms and sighed softly.
“My darling, we have one night to talk about it, there’s no rush.”
Meng Qingqian panicked; she knew her own chances of winning. By day, she could be a high and mighty princess, but by night, she was completely at He Yunxiao's mercy.
"Wait... mmm..."
He Yunxiao lowered his head to enjoy his food, casually extinguishing the candlelight in the room with a flick of his wrist. Darkness once again enveloped the room.
Rustling sounds emanated from time to time, and there were even occasional sounds of fabric being torn.
...
Jian Ling, standing outside a side hall of Feng Hua Palace, sighed softly.
What's meant to happen will happen.
...
At noon, with nothing to do, He Yunxiao lay down and watched Mengbao's sleeping face.
Her skin was as white and tender as jade, her eyelashes were long and curled, and her small, cherry-red lips would occasionally be gently pursed.
It's quite adorable.
He Yunxiao understood that Nanzhu's wife was worried about overspending and didn't want him to be too indulgent, but with Mengbao in front of him, even he couldn't resist the temptation, no matter how rational he was.
Besides, he also has "real business" to attend to. Some reasonable game coaching is a necessary form of social obligation.
Last night, He Yunxiao finally managed to "seduce" Mengbao, persuading her to spend 250,000 taels of silver to buy the Daqi Bank. As for the original Daqi Bank, it will be relocated and reorganized into the Lanhua Investment and Development Bank, still controlled by Yinyun. Its main function will shift from issuing gold and silver certificates to investing in and controlling enterprises.
The assets of Lanhua Investment Development Bank are naturally the money from the sale of Daqi Bank.
but……
He Yunxiao's biggest worry right now is that Mengbao will deny everything when she wakes up.
After all, she could only make "uh-huh" sounds last night, and she would agree to anything you said. It wouldn't be surprising if she reneged on her promise.
He Yunxiao looked down at the sleeping person beside him and sighed softly.
Both the palm and the back of the hand are flesh.
The current size of Daqi Bank is entirely due to Yin Yun's efforts and hard work. It's really not right to just give it away to Meng Bao for free just to please her.
Mengbao is capable of anything for the sake of the Qi Kingdom.
He Yunxiao didn't blame Li Qingmeng at all. On the contrary, he affectionately rubbed her pretty face.
You've worked hard, my Mengbao.
"Knock knock knock".
"Your Highness, Miss, it's time for your meal."
Jian Ling whispered a reminder from outside the door.
Looking at the sky outside the window, He Yunxiao felt it was getting late, so he shook Mengbao's shoulder and said, "Mengbao, get up."
"don't want……"
“Mengbao…”
"Um……"
He Yunxiao lowered his head and took Mengbao's breath away.
