Chapter 531 Have you ever heard of a civet cat exchanging a prince?
"What do you want to report?" The jade-faced man returned to his seat and took a sip of tea.
"It's about Prime Minister Zhou." Murong Hong said respectfully, "Prime Minister Zhou's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. This time he sent a New Year gift, and he asked for five million taels!"
Yongsheng Trading Company can monopolize the economic lifeline of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and Zhou Chenxiang's secret efforts are indispensable, and naturally he takes a lot of money.
The jade-faced man said nonchalantly, "It's okay. Feed him first and make him spit it out sooner or later."
"Yes, Master." Murong Hong nodded, thought for a while and said cautiously, "Master asked his subordinates not to provoke Princess Ye yet, but the business of Tianxia Commercial Bank will gradually expand."
The jade-faced man chuckled.
"No matter how big you are, how big can you be? Give her something sweet to try first."
"Without the protection of the Night King, her death would be like squeezing an ant to death? I will do it myself when the time comes."
Murong Hong nodded: "Yes, Master."
The jade-faced man stared at Murong Hong and warned: "Build a good relationship with Zhou Chenxiang, let him treat you as one of his own, and do whatever he wants."
"Okay, I understand."
After giving Murong Hong a few instructions, the jade-faced man left.
Shen Yuyu got the big secret about Ding Xiaolian and wanted to check it out. But when he thought about the war in northern Xinjiang and the food shortage, how could the soldiers fight if they didn't have enough to eat? So he put everything aside. Making money was the most important thing.
In the next few days, she was busy at Tianxia Trading Company. First, she bought a pastry shop and got the pastry shop on the right track. With the pastries made by the pastry shop, the tea house's business was booming.
In order to make money as quickly as possible, she asked King Xuan to find a group of people, all of whom were trained as pastry chefs and restaurant chefs. After signing confidentiality deeds, they were sent to major cities. In this way, restaurants and teahouses in all cities would soon be able to do business.
Get better.
After that, caramel masters were also trained, and the caramel workshop could start production.
At this time, there was a problem of raw materials. Shen Yuyu gritted his teeth, sprayed a growth agent in the space and planted a round of Gansu. Then he ran to the dock to hire an empty cargo ship, loaded all the Gansu onto the cargo ship, and called Zhao Ke.
Buy.
After Gan Shu "bought" it, Shen Yuhu taught Zhao Ke how to make various candies using Gan Shu as raw material, which took a lot of time.
However, the rewards are also extremely attractive. The candy shop's candies have quickly gained a reputation among dignitaries, and the profits are very considerable.
In addition, Zhao Han has also made the "squatting toilet" and set up a room in Yunlai Inn for experiments. It was very successful. After the official report was filed, mass production began. The business of the inn should be booming soon.
.
On this day, Shen Yuyu, Manager Qian, and King Xuan gathered at Tianxia Commercial Bank to do accounts.
In just half a month, the profits of various businesses in Guangjing City were nearly 100,000 taels, the profits of Lingzhou City last year were nearly 1 million taels, and the profits of Tongzhou City were more than 400,000 taels, plus Zhuangzi and other renovated restaurants
The tea house's profit amounted to 2.15 million taels.
In addition to the one million taels promised by Ding Xiaolian, Ding Jingshi prepared everything and sent it all to He Jin.
It was not safe to send such a large amount of money to Beijing, and it would take time. Therefore, Ding Xiaolian later sent Hongluan to Tianxia Commercial Bank and made this suggestion.
Shen Yuyu naturally couldn't ask for it.
So there were a total of three million taels of silver. After King Xuan consulted the emperor's decree, he asked He Jin to take all of it to Da Qi and exchange it for rice, flour, grain, grass and various kinds of bacon and dried meat, and then asked General Wei Liang to send troops to escort them to northern Xinjiang.
This year's locust plague, although there are potatoes to provide emergency relief, but the soldiers are fighting bravely on the battlefield, how can potatoes alone replenish their physical strength?
Shen Yuyu also wrote a private letter to Emperor Jingyuan, mentioning that it could cure the 'poison' in his body, and asked him to sell this batch of rice grains to the Zhou Kingdom at half price.
Emperor Jingyuan was particularly impressed by Shen Yuyu. He once recognized her as his daughter, so it was impossible not to agree. Shen Yuyu felt relieved after solving this matter.
Time flies, Ji Xun and Zhang Neng have arrived in northern Xinjiang, traveling day and night.
Shen Yuyu received Ji Xun's letter, which contained nothing but words of longing for her. She told her to take good care of Ji Feng and herself.
Three days before the Queen's birthday, Ding Xiaolian found an opportunity to leave the palace and came to Tianxia Trading Company disguised as a palace maid.
Shen Yuyu had already refined a medicine to treat Ding Xiaolian's uterine cold syndrome, and she handed the medicine bottle to Ding Xiaolian.
"Take it three times a day, half an hour after meals, and take it for three days to ensure your recovery."
"I gave you the money, are you sure it will work?" Ding Xiaolian held the bottle of medicine and stared at her cautiously.
"If you don't believe what I say, what's the use of saying more?" Shen Yuehu shrugged, "If you are afraid that I will harm you, you can choose not to take the medicine, but I will not refund the money to you.'
Ding Xiaolian bit her lip: "Believe me, even though you are very annoying to me, you can still be considered a trustworthy person." After saying that, Ding Xiaolian left with Hong Luan.
When I returned to the palace, I saw Shen Weiwei's father, Shen Zuorong, wandering outside near the palace entrance, holding a broken gong like a beggar.
Ding Xiaolian was shocked. She felt that something was wrong with Shen Weiwei's father. How long had it been? Five thousand taels of silver were gone? That day, Shen Weiwei said that she had given him thirty thousand taels of silver before, but she didn't He squandered all the money, and it seems that he either entered the brothel or became addicted to gambling.
Shen Weiwei is still useful to her at the moment. For example, if it were not for Shen Weiwei to leave the palace today, she would not be able to find a way out.
After thinking about it, he hurriedly said to Hongluan, "Take Shen Weiwei's father, Shen Zuorong, to Penglai Restaurant, give the restaurant manager two hundred taels of silver, and ask the manager to take care of Shen Zuorong's three meals a day. As long as he can eat enough, become.'
"Yes, miss." Hong Luan also knew that Shen Zuorong was a time bomb, so he quickly took the money handed over by Ding Xiaolian and led Shen Zuorong to Penglai Restaurant.
In Zhaoshu Palace, the jade-faced man went to Xia Luoluo's bed again that night.
He dragged Xia Luoluo's hand and took her pulse directly. After taking the pulse, he put his hand towards Xia Luoluo's belly with a look of disappointment.
"What's going on? Why can't I get pregnant?'
"Don't you say there is nothing wrong with my princess' health? "I have no problem, then it must be your problem~~ Charlotte wanted to say this, but she didn't dare, and swallowed it again.
This man came and went without a trace. His identity must not be simple. She still had to rely on him and not offend him.
"Why can't I get pregnant? That's strange." The jade-faced man looked puzzled.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly looked at Charlotte and said, "Do you have a woman you can control? Try another one."
"What do you mean by this?" Charlotte seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand.
"Change to another woman and see if you can get pregnant."
"What if it is possible?" Xia Luoluo looked calm, but felt anxious in her heart. A woman who could not give birth to a child would not have a future. She was afraid that she would not be able to give birth to a child.
The jade-faced man seemed to have read through her thoughts and comforted her:
"Whatever is born to others is naturally born to you. Have you ever heard of a civet cat exchanging a prince? It's the same thing."
It became clear to Xia Luoluo that she wanted to call someone a 'surrogate'. She would have a false pregnancy, and after giving birth, she would say it was her. She was a good candidate. Phew, isn't there one around?
