"Please ask President Qi to help me buy as much land and shops as possible on Yong'an Street."

Song Mingli said as he took out the box.

Qi Liang took the box, opened it and saw that it was full of banknotes.

"Here are two hundred thousand taels. How much more can you take out?" Song Mingli looked at Qi Liang and asked.

Qi Liang thought for a moment, "Does the imperial court really want to vigorously develop Yong'an Street?"

Song Mingli smiled slightly, "The court is using the Yong'an Street incident to get rid of internal pests and calm public grievances. As for the subsequent development..."

"For the imperial court, it makes no difference whether it develops Yong'an Street or Fu'an Street."

Qi Liang frowned and fell silent.

He originally thought that the princess had received some inside information from the prince, which was why she was buying up shops and land on Yong'an Street in large quantities.

But now it seems that it is still unknown whether Yong'an Street can be vigorously developed and whether these shops and land can make money after being purchased.

"If that's the case, why did the princess go to such lengths to purchase land on Yong'an Street?"

"Because everyone has no confidence in it, we should buy it while it's still cheap," Song Mingli chuckled. "We should buy it while the price is still low. If we want to buy it again after the 'good news' is confirmed, the cost will more than double."

Qi Liang certainly understood this logic.

But what is the good news? Can it really be implemented?

You won't lose both the shop and the land, right?

The merchants who bought shops on Yong'an Street are now crying their eyes out.

Yong'an Street was like a "ghost street" and not a single person could be seen for a long time.

The shop was originally bought for 250 taels, but now it cannot be sold even for 200 taels.

Qi Liang thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled at Song Mingli, "If I take out all my current assets, I can get 500,000 taels."

Wow! I can’t tell.

Song Mingli raised his eyebrows and looked at him. Qi Liang was already so rich.

The cash he could gather was more than what could be moved in the palace's accounts.

"Even though it's all your wealth, you dare to gamble it away?"

Song Mingli looked at him and said, "I saw you hesitated just now, and it seems that you are not optimistic about the appreciation of the land in Yong'an Street."

Qi Liang did not hide it, "If the court could revitalize the land in Yong'an Street, it would not have dragged on for so many years, allowing the land that was once hot to be left uncultivated for so long."

"I heard that many dignitaries bought land there. But now, almost all of them are gone."

"The officials are not in a hurry. Even if they lose money, they still have other ways to make money. But the merchants who bought the land there are so anxious that they want to hang themselves."

"I used all my wealth to buy a shop on Yong'an Street, thinking I could make money from business. But it turned out that it was scary to be alone on the street during the day, let alone at night."

Song Mingli raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "If you are so pessimistic about Yong'an Street, why do you want to spend all your wealth?"

Qi Liang lowered his head and smiled, "Because I believe..."

"Cough-cough-"

Chu Yanchen coughed heavily outside, interrupting Qi Liang's words.

Because I believe in the princess... Qi Liang was forced to swallow the words back into his stomach.

"Princess, are you going to control the land price of Yong'an Street? If you want to do something big, how can 700,000 taels be enough?"

Chu Yanchen came and sat down next to Song Mingli, and took out a stack of silver bills from his arms.

"Here is another 500,000 taels, which will be considered as my investment."

Song Mingli looked at him in surprise. She had already taken 100,000 taels from the palace's account.

Where did he get the five hundred thousand taels from?

"This is just some of my own pocket money." Chu Yanchen winked at her.

Haha, what a nice “little bit”.

If Qi Liang had not been invited, we would not have known that our own prince had such a large amount of private wealth.

That's 1.2 million taels.

Seeing the couple's generosity, Qi Liang suddenly felt a sense of pride, "Don't worry, my lord and princess, Qi Liang will live up to your trust and make a big purchase of the land and shops on Yong'an Street."

Song Mingli felt relieved when he let Qi Liang handle the land purchase.

After Qi Liang left, the couple sat face to face and Zi Su served them tea.

Zi Su felt that the atmosphere between the two people was a little weird, but she couldn't tell what was weird.

She quickly retreated, pricking up her ears. She was determined not to let her princess suffer any loss.

"Aren't you afraid of losing money by buying so much land in Yong'an Street?" Chu Yanchen said.

"Are you afraid that I will lose money, yet you still dare to give me so much of your private money?" Song Mingli raised his eyebrows, as if smiling.

"I borrowed it from Shenglong Bank." Chu Yanchen said seriously.

"Borrowed?" Song Mingli's eyes widened. "You don't even know what I'm going to do, and you dare to borrow so much money?"

"No... that's 500,000 taels. Did you mortgage Prince Jing's Mansion? Did you ask Shenglong Bank to lend you that much?"

Chu Yanchen's eyelids twitched, and he was really afraid that she would ask more questions.

The prince cannot run a money shop, so he did it in private and didn't want her to know and worry.

If she pressed the issue further, he was really afraid that he would lose control and let the cat out of the bag.

Seeing her staring at him with her beautiful eyes, her gaze was burning.

Chu Yanchen simply acted like a rogue and lowered his head to cover those rosy and attractive red lips.

"Don't try to distract me... um..."

"Qi Liang has already offered 500,000 taels, how can I lose?"

Huh? No...what does this have to do with winning or losing?

Besides, Qi Liang is a friendly army, right? Why are you competing with a friendly army?

This man’s damn desire to win.

Zi Su stood outside with her ears pricked up, listening for a while.

Listening to it... this noise seems a little strange?

Zi Su's brows gradually darkened... Why did she hear her princess suppressing her pain, like the groans of a kitten?

No way? Would the prince really bully her princess?

Zi Su was about to call for someone...but she suddenly realized what was happening.

Her whole face turned red instantly.

Oh my god...it's so embarrassing!

She almost called for help! Fortunately, she didn't open her mouth, otherwise she would have been the laughing stock of the palace for the next year.

Zi Su covered her face and quietly moved away.

"Shiso! Miss Shiso!"

It seems like someone is calling her?

Zi Su turned her head and saw Ling Feng standing in the corridor waving at her.

Zi Su seemed to be relieved and took a few quick steps forward.

"It's not that hot, why is Miss Zisu's face so red?" Ling Feng asked with a smile.

Zi Su was so embarrassed that she dug her toes into the ground. She said with a straight face, "What's the matter?"

"I'm looking for Molan, why don't I see her?"

"She was sent out by the princess and hasn't come back yet." Zi Su said, "What's the matter? Do you need to tell me?"

Ling Feng suddenly became anxious, "Where was she sent? There is something, but I want to hand it over to her in person."

"Another sword manual?" Zi Su raised her eyebrows and smiled.

Ling Feng's face was filled with shame, "No, no... this time it's boxing."

Seeing that the door to the main room had not been opened yet, Zi Su was in no hurry to go back to serve. She just crossed her arms and looked at Ling Feng with amusement.

"General Ling is so busy with official duties, how can he still have time to find some sword manuals and boxing techniques to give to Molan?"

Zi Su's face suddenly straightened, "Tell the truth, do you have other intentions?"

Ling Feng was already feeling guilty, and after being tricked by her, he became extremely nervous.

"No...no, what could I possibly have...any motive? I just saw that she liked these..."

"Do you like her and want to marry her?" Zi Su asked.
