Wealth and glory seek stability

After Zhou Rui exclaimed, he covered his bag tightly and looked at others as if he was guarding against thieves.

Liu Wu glared at Zhou Rui and said, "You are surprised by what you have seen."

He unconsciously opened the bag with his name on it and exclaimed!

He did the same thing as Zhou Rui and tied his pockets tightly, fearing that others would see him.

On the top of the bag were scattered silver ingots, probably ten official silver ingots of ten taels each, and underneath were silk cloths. The bottom felt hard and no one knew what it was, but judging from the top, the stuff underneath was definitely not bad.

Liu Wu reached out and grabbed a handful. It was dried longan and red dates, wrapped in oil paper.

Get rich!

Everyone had the same reaction.

They had never seen so much money in their entire military careers.

Liu Wu said in a deep voice: "After seeing something, you should also know to keep your mouth shut. Some people are not something we can offend, understand?"

"Yes Yes Yes."

"Don't worry, Brother Liu Wu, we all know the seriousness of the situation."

"Yes, we are all honest farmers in this team. We know the importance of things."

This time, what I said was much more sincere.

The three newcomers in the tent were puzzled as to why everyone's faces changed when they saw the things in the bag. Could it be that the bag contained gold ingots?

Liu Wu still felt uneasy. "Forget it. I'll talk to the general and ask for leave for all of us. Your families are all around the capital, and there's a lot of food there. You should send it home. If you don't finish it in the tent, it will go bad."

"Yes, yes, Brother Liu Wu is the most thoughtful one."

Liu Wu thought for a moment, reached into his bag, took out a handful of red dates and longans, and handed them to the three newcomers.

With a smile on his face, he said, "Here, you guys eat some too. Work hard in the future, and we'll share the good times and the bad times."

Others also had an idea and took out various dried fruits from their bags.

The three of them were all new recruits. They had heard that new recruits would be targeted by veterans in the army. Their hands were stuffed with dried fruits, and they were all flattered.

However, a young man who looked smarter inside said with a smile, "We also know the severity of the situation. This kid just came to the military camp and doesn't know anything."

Liu Wu smiled knowingly.

He tied his pockets tightly, asked someone to keep an eye on the three remaining unopened bags, and hurried to Shen Nanxing to ask for leave for everyone.

Painted Water Pavilion.

Jian Xi was bored. She looked at the flowers in her hand, threw them on the table, and held her chin with one hand. She was really bored.

At the beginning, I felt good about arranging flowers, and I thought it could maintain my temperament. But arranging flowers every day became a torture. I watched the little maids in the yard sitting together happily mixing rouge.

Sometimes she doubted whether she was a woman or not, because she was not interested in these women's pleasures at all.

Apart from the happiness that comes from having money in her pocket, she finds it difficult to maintain long-term interest in anything else.

Only money can give her a sense of security.

Qiangwei is gradually getting the hang of it now. She is smart and eager to learn. According to the shop owner, Qiangwei is now capable enough to stand on her own.

"Sister Qiangwei."

Every morning, Qiangwei would stay with Jian Xi. Jian Xi liked the morning light but felt bored staying in the house, so she always asked someone to move her rattan chair out.

At this time, Qiangwei would take advantage of every opportunity to take Su Lian to look at the account book beside Jian Xi, and ask questions at any time if she didn't understand.

"Master, you should call me Shopkeeper Jin instead of sister. There is a difference between the superior and the inferior."

Jian Xi was heartbroken, "You don't love me anymore."

rose:......

Su Lian covered her mouth and giggled, revealing the bracelet on her hand. Pink bracelets were rare, and they made Su Lian look even more pink.

Qiangwei took the ruler and slapped it in front of Sulian.

"Focus on the accounts."

Su Lian said awkwardly, pouting, "Yes, Shopkeeper Jin."

Jian Xi couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, Sulian, you really are like a bullied little wife."

Qiangwei was helpless, she turned around and looked at Jian Xi, "The matter that the master asked Shopkeeper Qi to investigate has already made some progress."

"So fast?"

Qiangwei nodded, but her face was a little solemn, "Well, Boyaju has closed down, and Shopkeeper Zhou Jin has now gone to the shop in the west of the city to manage it. Shopkeeper Qi told me some of the situation."

Jian Xi sat up straight, frowning. Lin Yun must have been troubled by something these days, otherwise, according to her personality, the fall of Boya Ju would not be without any waves.

"Have you found out the backgrounds of Zhang Xuanyu and Zhang Cen'er in the Xuanwu Dynasty?"

"Yes." Qiangwei frowned and said respectfully.

After looking through the account books these days, she already knew Fengyuhao well enough. She knew that the shopkeepers there could earn money with their own talents. Last year, Manager Qi alone received a dividend of 28,000 taels. And judging from Jian Xi's expression, she would not interfere in the affairs of the shop at will.

Qiangwei is full of passion. She doesn't need to consider other people's faces and can gain their respect by trying to please them carefully. This is something she never dared to think about before.

Her attitude towards Jian Xi also changed. Knowing that the subordinates called her Master, she followed suit. Although she did not sell her body, she was willing to be called Master.

Jian Xi is her God! He pulled her out of the abyss and let her live decently.

Calming down her emotions, Qiangwei recounted everything Lei Zi had found out.

"The Empress Xuanwu only had seven children. The father of the fourth prince Zhang Xuanyu and the sixth princess Zhang Cen'er was Li Cejun. Li Cejun was originally a guard beside the Empress Xuanwu. Once the Empress was drunk and visited him, Zhang Xuanyu was born.

I heard that Li Cejun is gentle and polite, with a good appearance, and is known as the most handsome man in the Xuanwu Dynasty. However, he is not favored by the emperor's husband, who has a son and a daughter. The eldest princess, Zhang Lan'er, is the legitimate daughter and the first heir to the throne. "

"What's Zhang Lan'er's personality like?"

"Zhang Lan'er has been studious since she was young and is the favorite of the empress. Everyone in the Xuanwu Dynasty is a soldier. I heard that this princess is good at shooting arrows from a hundred steps away and is both civil and military. Princess Jiahe can only bow her head and obey in front of the princess.

Zhang Lan'er has been learning the art of being an emperor since she was young. The Xuanwu Empress was in poor health, so she helped to supervise the country and was highly praised by the court and the public. If it weren't for the severe drought in the north in recent years, the Xuanwu Dynasty would not have come to this point."

Jian Xi picked up the feather fan beside her, thinking, it seems that Zhang Cen'er is just a small follower.

He changed his mind and said, "Manager Jin, do you want to go to the Xuanwu Dynasty to see what it's like when a dynasty is ruled by a female emperor?"

Rose tilted her head, "I'd really like to go and see it."

Jian Xi was calm and composed, fanning herself with feathers. "Then work hard to expand our business to the Xuanwu Dynasty. I want to become the world's largest grain merchant, and you will be the most capable female manager under the world's largest grain merchant."

Rose's heart trembled, and she couldn't help but wonder, would her name be known to others one day?
