Di Jiang, who was sitting opposite Jiujiu, was no longer interested in eating. He put down his bowl and asked Chu Yang next to him: "What's going on?"

"What are they doing with Jiujiu?"

"So many people are here?"

While Di Jiang was speaking, he gave Jiujiu a considerate look that said, "Don't worry, I will take care of everything."

Seeing this look, Jiujiu breathed a sigh of relief and continued to eat the rice in the bowl, waiting for what Chuyang would say.

Chuyang also went outside to inquire and found out the whole story.

He came back and told Di Jiang and Jiujiu, "There are still some people who want to ride the beasts left over from ancient times that the princess took everyone to ride."

"So I came to see the princess."

"That's it." Jiujiu patted her chest, and the big stone hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground. She didn't break the rules of heaven, and no one yelled at her to kill her.

"Jiujiu, are you willing to help those people ride the beast again?" Di Jiang respected Jiujiu's opinion.

Jiujiu thought for a moment and said: "It's okay to help them once. But if someone comes to me every day from now on and asks me to take them to ride beasts, should I take them or not?"

"I have to go back to Xichu after all."

"That's a good thing." Di Jiang nodded in agreement, "If you start this way, people will probably come to trouble you every day in the future, so why not just refuse."

Besides, riding a beast is not like riding a donkey. You can ride it whenever you want, every day.

These people really think about things all the time, they are so whimsical.

"Yes, refuse." Jiujiu said: "Chu Yang, go and tell them that if you want to ride a beast, each person will receive one hundred taels of silver."

If this happens, people outside will probably retreat.

After all, one hundred taels of silver is quite a lot even for an official.

There is no need to spend so much money.

"Yes, princess."

Chu Yang went to talk.

But who knows, after Chu Yang finished speaking, the result Jiujiu expected did not come.

These people who wanted to ride the beast did not give up.

These people spoke with great excitement.

"One hundred taels is one hundred taels. I am not short of one hundred taels of silver. I am willing to pay for it."

"I'm not short of money either. I'll spend two hundred taels and I'll ride twice."

"I'm going to ride three times."

"I'll ride four times and I'll pay for it."

Chu Yang broke out in a cold sweat when he saw that everyone was willing to spend a lot of money to ride the beast. He didn't care about the money at all.

"This, this, this..."

"Everyone, please wait a moment. I'll go in and talk to the princess."

Chu Yang told Jiujiu about these people's reactions.

After hearing this, Jiujiu was stunned for a while and murmured: "Is this the rhythm of being forced to open business?"

[Ah ah ah, I’m going to die. 】

[Is this princess short of money? 】

[When this princess meets Qian Yankai, will she take them to ride wild beasts? Will not! hehe. 】

[This princess is very upright. 】

【Don’t go. 】

This is what Jiujiu said in her heart, and her thoughts were heard by Nan Yuanxiang, who was eating next to her with her head covered and not listening to what was going on outside the window.

Nan Yuanxiang was still praising in her heart, "I didn't know that Jiujiu was so noble and upright."

"One person is one hundred taels, ten people are one thousand taels, and one hundred people are one thousand taels. She doesn't earn so much money. She is principled and domineering."

"As expected of a proud princess."

Who knows the next moment, Jiujiu said: "Chu Yang, let them wait for a while, I will change my clothes and take them to ride the beast right away."

"Also, remember to ask them to prepare the banknotes."

"Pay the money with one hand and ride the beast with the other. No credit will be given."

"..." Nan Yuanxiang was confused.

How come what Jiujiu thinks is different from what he does?

I feel like she is a joke.

Nan Yuanxiang looked at Jiujiu hesitantly, wanting to speak but not knowing what to say.

Jiujiu said: "Little cousin, if you have anything to say, you can just say it."

"I, I have nothing to say." Nan Yuanxiang put down the job in his hand and said, "Jiujiu, do you need help collecting the money? I'll help you."

"Que, let's go together."

The two sisters went to change clothes, then took people to ride the beast and collected money.

On this day, I experienced the joy of counting money until my hands cramped. It was so refreshing.

That money was blown away like a strong wind.

There is simply no way to collect or count them all.

Nan Yuanxiang also had some doubts about life, "It's so easy to make money."

As soon as they finished speaking, Jiujiu and Nan Yuanxiang saw an old man with a hunchback kneeling on the ground near the iron fence that had not yet been removed, with his head hanging down, using a small shovel in his hand to dig wild vegetables on the ground.

The area beside the iron fence has not been divided, so everyone can be there, and it is the best place to see all kinds of things in the world.

Some people spend a lot of money just to ride the beasts left over from ancient times a few more times so that they can go back and show off to others.

There are also people who are in ragged clothes and have no food to fill their stomachs, so they can only rely on freshly unearthed wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger.

After Jiujiu looked at it for a while, she felt very sour in her heart. She took out a few banknotes from her hand. She didn't count them, and she didn't see many, but there should be quite a few.

She gave it to the hunchbacked old man who was digging wild vegetables.

"Grandpa, I'll give you all this money. You can spend it."

"Hide it well and spend it slowly. Don't let anyone see it, and don't let others see it. You must remember it."

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

If someone saw this much money, it would be robbed, and the old man might suffer as a result.

Therefore, Jiujiu gave some careful instructions.

At first, the old man didn't care how many banknotes Jiujiu stuffed into his arms. He thanked him and left with his cane and dug wild vegetables in his eyes.

After returning home, he looked at the banknote in his arms.

After reading it, he was shocked. The denomination was so large, one hundred taels apiece, and there were eight denominations.

He could never spend fifty taels of silver in his life.

But now he actually has eight hundred taels.

this--

The old man was very excited and happy.

With this money, he no longer had to eat wild vegetables every day. The wild vegetables made him feel weak and he felt like he might faint at any time.

And his wife's stubborn illness can be treated as much as he wants, and his wife no longer has to lie in bed and suffer every day.

Great.

The great benevolent and compassionate Guanshiyin Bodhisattva appeared.

There was new hope in his life. He and his wife lived a good life before they died.

He is grateful.

.

On the Dijiang side, Dijiang also focused on the money bags of the courtiers because Jiujiu took many courtiers to ride wild beasts and made a lot of money.

The day after this incident, there was a court meeting.

Di Jiang was sitting on the dragon chair, looking indifferently at the ministers standing below who were reporting government affairs. After they finished reporting, he said leisurely: "I heard that many ministers in the court spent money to ride wild beasts yesterday."

"It's a lot of money."

"Some people even spend a lot of money."

A few simple and calm words, it sounded like he was just talking about this matter casually with the courtiers.

But it's not like that.
