Chapter 95 There is something wrong with this person
Sea transportation is the real profiteering.
In the previous life, at about the same time, a caravan discovered a new route and traded with the yellow-haired, green-eyed Yi people. The cheap goods that were everywhere in the Great Qi Dynasty were sold at prices dozens or even hundreds of times higher in the Yi people.
On the return journey, the caravan brought back a large amount of fresh foreign goods from the Yi Kingdom. This back and forth trade made huge profits of hundreds of times.
With the success of this caravan, other caravans dared to follow suit.
In the previous life, Chu Yian and Zhao Shuning used her money to form a merchant caravan and made a fortune.
Lu Zhiran always remembered this matter, but she focused her energy on the capital and was unable to allocate manpower and money to develop sea transportation.
Xiao Yanci stared at the other person intently, "Do you dare to cooperate with me? I'll provide the money, and you'll provide the manpower to form a shipping caravan."
Lu Zhiran blurted out, "Does Your Highness have any money?"
Xiao Yanci: ...
Are you being presumptuous?
"Since this king has made this proposal, he can naturally provide the silver."
Lu Zhiran kindly reminded, "To form a seagoing fleet, you'll need at least several hundred thousand taels."
Xiao Yanci remained calm, "I said, money is not a problem. Do you dare to partner with me on this deal?"
His expression was serious, not joking.
A gleam of light flashed in Lu Zhiran's eyes.
Partnering with Prince Jin would not only allow one to seize the initiative in shipping and make the first pot of gold, but would also allow the two parties to truly form an alliance.
How can we miss such a golden opportunity?
She smiled generously, "Why not? It is truly a blessing for me to have your Highness's favor."
There was also a hint of smile in Xiao Yanci's eyes.
"You should know my reputation. Aren't you afraid that I will ruin your fortune?"
Lu Zhiran asked in return, "Your Highness isn't afraid of losing everything, so why should I be afraid? Being timid and hesitant is doomed to failure."
Xiao Yanci chuckled softly, "The county lady is courageous. It seems I've found the right person. We'll split the profits 40-60, 60 for you and 40 for me. What do you think?"
Lu Zhiran was a little surprised. She didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to.
"If the capital is entirely provided by Your Highness, then I am taking advantage of you by taking 60%."
"I only pay the money and I don't care about anything else. In other words, I just need to wait to collect the money. 60% is what you deserve."
After hearing this, Lu Zhiran stopped refusing and the two sides happily reached an agreement.
Xiao Yanci reached out and touched his waist, trying to take out a token, but found nothing.
He cursed inwardly and withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened.
"I will have someone deliver a token to you later. If you need anything, bring it to Prince Jin's mansion and I will be the first to know."
Xiao Baozhu just walked in from outside the private room. "What token?"
Xiao Yanci replied lazily, "It has nothing to do with you. Are you hungry?"
Xiao Baozhu immediately turned her attention away, "I'm so hungry I could eat a whole cow! Hurry up, serve the food, let's eat."
As she spoke, she rubbed her belly, feeling a soft ball of flesh that was quite substantial.
I feel like my waist has gotten thicker recently.
It doesn’t matter, it’s not too late to lose weight after this meal.
If you can't even eat meat properly, what's the point of life?
Lu Zhiran didn't expect that she would have the opportunity to dine at the same table with these two people.
She had a small appetite and only finished half a bowl before putting down her chopsticks.
The two siblings opposite, one drank three big bowls of rice in a row, and the other ate three chicken legs in a row. Seeing her put down her chopsticks, they both looked at her.
Xiao Yanci: "The food is not to your liking?"
Xiao Baozhu: "It must be because you're here that I'm scared and embarrassed to eat."
Xiao Yanci touched his face. He was obviously very pleasing to the eye and handsome.
He finished the rice in the bowl in a few bites and said, "I have finished it, please help yourself."
This means to actively avoid.
Lu Zhiran quickly waved her hands, "No, no, I'm really full."
Xiao Yanci frowned, "That little bit of food is not enough to fill the gaps between our teeth."
"I have a small appetite."
Xiao Yanci turned his gaze and glanced lightly at her slender waist.
I can see it.
He could pinch it with one hand.
Look at the pig next to me. People are indeed different.
After Xiao Baozhu finally put down her chopsticks, Lu Zhiran began to ask about Jiang Nansheng.
Xiao Baozhu said, "She has already set off and has arranged for follow-up personnel to prepare medicinal materials for transport to Xiping. Once we get there, we won't have to worry about a shortage of medicinal materials."
Lu Zhiran heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"Mr. Jiang has always been thorough and reliable."
Xiao Baozhu also nodded repeatedly, "That's right, from childhood to adulthood, Ah Sheng has always been the most prudent and reassuring person."
Watching the two of them praising Jiang Nansheng in every possible way, Xiao Yanci felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Isn't it just a small matter? He can handle it so carefully and safely.
Xiao Baozhu was a little worried again. "A Sheng only brought about twenty people this time, and she even left Zhang Yao, the best martial artist, behind to escort the herbs. I hope nothing goes wrong along the way."
Xiao Yanci: "All of her twenty or so men are skilled fighters. This trip will mostly be on official roads, and she has a lot of experience traveling outside, so nothing will go wrong."
"It's freezing cold, and traveling is inherently dangerous..."
Lu Zhiran suddenly interrupted them, "Princess, the Zhang Yao you just mentioned is Santu Yao?"
Her expression was a little serious, as if something important had happened.
Xiao Baozhu nodded, not understanding why.
"Yeah, you know him?"
Lu Zhiran didn't say anything for a moment, as if he was trying hard to recall something, his brows tightly furrowed.
Xiao Yanci pressed on, "Is there something wrong with this person?"
Before Lu Zhiran could speak, Xiao Baozhu's eyes widened.
"How is that possible? He's the son of Ah Sheng's wet nurse and one of the people Ah Sheng trusts the most. How could there be a problem?"
Originally Lu Zhiran was still unsure, but when she heard these words, the vague memories in her mind suddenly became clear.
In her previous life, she had heard this name from Zhao Shuning.
Zhao Shuning said, "Zhang Yao is wise and has destroyed the evidence. From now on, I have nothing to worry about."
Lu Zhiran didn't understand the whole story and only remembered the name.
She originally thought it was Zhang Yao, but later when she sneaked into Zhao Shuning's study to steal the prescription, she saw this name and realized that the man's name was Zhang Yao.
At that time, her freedom had been completely restricted and her contact with the outside world had been almost cut off, so there was naturally no way to investigate.
Later, she heard another story about the Jiang family. It was said that a girl in the Jiang family had an affair with her wet nurse's son, and was exposed in public, ruining her reputation.
This was learned from the maid's idle chatter. She only listened to it vaguely and did not ask which girl it was.
She can't even protect herself, so how can she care about other people's affairs?
Later, after some time, she heard that the young miracle doctor of the Jiang family was not a man, but a woman.
She was only shocked at the time, but did not connect the young lady of the Jiang family who had an affair with her wet nurse's son with Jiang Nansheng.
Now, all these fragments came into my mind and connected together.
The Zhang Yao who destroyed the evidence mentioned by Zhao Shuning was the son of Jiang Nansheng's wet nurse.
Later, the girl from the Jiang family who had an affair with her wet nurse's son and was exposed in public, her reputation ruined, was most likely Jiang Nansheng.
Zhang Yao betrayed Jiang Nansheng and dealt her a fatal blow.
So, what was the evidence that Zhang Kui destroyed?
