To be called the "Twin Jewels of Hebei", it must have two brushes.
Princess Ji Douzi of the Wei Kingdom is not really a fool, but her pride and pride prevent her from facing Li Jie, a beast of the Wu Kingdom.
The humiliation was unprecedented, and I felt uncomfortable all over.
How could it be possible for the two women to be simple in their respective family educations?
Coming with a "mission" on their backs, whether active or passive, subjective or objective, they serve Li with their own bodies, so what they can do is to do their best under the existing conditions to release their own value.
Live up to your own wishes and live up to your family.
His behavior was noble, his sentiments were also noble, but Commissioner Li could only pick his nose and be speechless after seeing it.
You fucking eat what I do and use what I do...
But then I thought about it, one of the two women was robbed and the other was blackmailed, so no one can blame them.
As the saying goes, if you sow melons, you will reap beans. It just depends on whether you can sleep with them in the future.
One man and two women, the three of them had their own thoughts. Wei Zhaoniang and Ji Douzi carefully calculated the recent expenditures of Wu Guoye men. The amount of expenditures was a bit shocking.
It was night, and Li Jie went to patrol the night. It was an old tradition to patrol the night in person once every ten days, accompanied by a crocodile man.
The beasts of the Wu Kingdom were away, so Wei Zhaoniang and Ji Douzi were fiddling with their abacus in the house, and they made a lot of calculations.
"This abacus is much better than the abacus."
Compared with Ji Douzi who was better at writing and writing, Wei Zhaoniang picked up the abacus very quickly. After being played with by Li Jie for a few days, she learned how to use the abacus to calculate addition and subtraction.
It's not difficult to memorize "one up, one up, nine down, nine up, one up". The two women calculated their expenses, and compared the prices of Jin and Wei, they found a bulk item with equivalent value.
Then it was discovered that Li Jie only traveled from Peilin to Quwei, and the total expenses were to feed the people of their respective families for ten days and a half, which was no problem at all.
This is burning money!
"How could this happen?!"
"When I was in Feilin, I paid for three hundred pieces of red clouds, one thousand two hundred pieces of white sand and linen cloth, more than a hundred Ying yuan, ten pots of pearls, and one hundred thousand Yin coins..."
"Used to start a war, a war to destroy the country!"
Wei Zhaoniang finally remembered the solemn instructions of her family elders. At first, she really underestimated this extremely lustful beast of the Wu Kingdom.
For the sake of beauty, even a career is abandoned. Can such a person survive in the long run?
Even Wei Zhaoniang was thinking that when Li Jie was defeated and died in the army, she would return to her family and wait to remarry. When the time comes, she must find a good family.
But at this moment, Wei Zhaoniang really couldn't figure out where Li Jie got so much money?!
Very unreasonable and unscientific.
Going south from Feilinyi, when passing "Weidonggou", I heard that people from Huaizhong City were already setting up properties in Gaowei, probably to form a formal large market, and Li Jie also bought a large
A piece of land, very big.
But these all cost money. Even if there is blackmail from Zheng Guo, Zheng Guo is now at war with Wei Guo, which shows that there is no financial problem. Even if the extortion is too severe, it cannot be a one-time payment. It is most likely that it will be a one-time payment.
installment.
So, the cash that Li Jie obtained from Zheng Guo should not be particularly exaggerated.
Li Jie probably still used his own money.
"I heard that in the future, in the markets where Huaizhong caravans gather in Chengying and Gaoyou, the 'white sand linen cloth' and 'yin coins' will be used as standards. All the coins of the princes of the various countries must be easily exchanged before they can be exchanged."
Enter the market and buy and sell.”
The two women didn't understand the reasoning behind it.
In this era, exchange trade is the mainstream, and bartering is the case even at the national level.
There is very little cash, mainly because it is inconvenient to carry, and at the same time, many metals are given priority to supply military equipment.
There are very few wealthy people like Li Jie who can easily pay cash.
"Wait less."
Biting her lip, Ji Douzi's beautiful eyes flickered. Her eyes, which were already beautiful, were deep in thought. They were moist and looked even brighter and attractive under the light.
Not long after, Ji Douzi bit her fingertips unconsciously, and after a while, she suddenly clicked on the words on the paper.
"Except for the gold produced by Ying Yuan of Chu State, all the 'red clouds', 'white sand linen cloth', pearls, and Yin coins are all produced locally in Jiangyin."
"There are many pearl producing areas, and there are many pearls in the lands of Yan, Qi, Chu and Yue."
"But then..."
Ji Douzi raised his head and stared at Wei Zhaoniang, stretched out his hand, and opened a brocade box on the table. It was full of plump and round pearls, "It is absolutely impossible for the four countries to have such abundant production!"
At that moment, the "Hebei Twins" all trembled. They had obviously discovered something extraordinary, some shocking facts that could shock the family.
After clearing away all the fog and all kinds of inconceivables, no matter how rough and wild Li Jie's image is, he is by no means a reckless man or a fool.
"Hebei Shuangbi" made a bold guess.
"If 'Chixia' or even 'Zixiao' could be produced in Jiangyin, wouldn't it be possible for the princes of all countries to plunder their savings for more than ten years to this person?!"
"..."
The two were silent for a moment. If this was true, it would be really terrible.
What's even more frightening is that this is probably the truth.
He seems to be a brainless and reckless man, and his behavior is the same. He can't move when he sees beauty. What kind of career can he achieve if he is so worthless?
He only took advantage of the situation by borrowing the power of King Wu Wei.
Everyone thinks so, but the reality is that Jiangyin beasts are called "Huaishui Bo", and they are more likely to be secretly named "Hanzi". Even if they set up their own business in the future, who can say no to the Han family's territory?!
"This matter... is too much..."
Wei Zhaoniang opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
Too shocked?!
If you tell the Wei family this fact, even the elites of the Wei family will not believe it.
This is not logical.
Even if Wei Cao, the high minister of Jin, constantly overestimated Li Jie's role, he would never have thought that Li Jie had never worried about money at this time.
If there is no gold, just grab it.
In terms of cash, there is really a lot of it. It can be woven at any time, minted at any time, mined at any time...
Ji Douzi suddenly understood why the price of pearls seemed to be cheaper after Li Jie joined Zheng. It was not because pearls were not valuable, but because there were actually more pearls.
There were so many that a noble lady would crush them and wipe them on her face.
"Zhao Niang thought... how could my father and brother believe it?!"
Ji Douzi's mood was quite complicated. She was taken in by this beast like Li Jie. She closed her eyes and thought she was unlucky.
Even when Li Jie was defeated, she was still a good woman.
The Princess of Wei had no worries about getting married, not to mention her reputation for being intelligent and well-versed in classics. No matter who looked at her, she was a virtuous wife and a qualified "junior" in any country she went to.
Now, Ji Douzi was thinking that if the princes did not kill Li Jie in advance, he was afraid that Li Jie would only become more powerful.
The Jiangyin beast had no intention of covering up the changes in Wu's political situation in front of the two women. Now the political map of the Gusu Wangji area and the "Hebei Twins" were clear.
Wei Zhaoniang and Ji Douzi did not think that the Wu Kingdom was peaceful. Instead, the situation was turbulent, with undercurrents surging. The final winner...whoever gets Li Jie's support will be the winner.
The outside world said that Li Jie was "loyal to the emperor and patriotic" and a loyal minister of the king. However, in the eyes of "Hebei Shuangbi", Li Jie was at best loyal to King Wu Wei.
The current King of Wu, Ji Yi, is a little boy, what a piece of shit he is?!
The Kingdom of Wu is about to perish.
"beans."
Wei Zhaoniang did not answer Ji Douzi's previous question, but raised her head and stared at Ji Douzi, "I once heard him say, 'I am ordered by heaven.' All the people thought so, and so did Chu Lu... This shows that his ambition is not in the world, but in the world."
The world!"
As for ambitions, Commissioner Li actually didn't think much about it at all. He just felt that saying "mandated by God" was more pretentious and made him look very awesome.
I just didn't expect that the younger brothers would be very useful and willing to work hard for it, so there was no way.
As the saying goes, we've caught up, so let's leave it at that.
However, the two women were having a great time battling wits and courage with the air at the moment.
Ji Douzi's mood was the most complicated. She was a good princess of the Kingdom of Wei. She was originally going to be the wife of Xu Kingdom, but Xu Kingdom was destroyed. The reason for the destruction was not who attacked, but because she offended Li Jie.
, Li Jie said something, Xu Guo’s own economy collapsed, who can you blame?!
Who would have thought that Li Jie, a lustful ghost, would be so patient in his search for the most beautiful woman, even going as far as to rob her on a side road when he got home? It's hard to describe this feeling.
At this time, Wei Zhaoniang made Li Jie's image a little taller and plumper, and Ji Douzi suddenly felt that life in the future would actually be quite pleasant.
