After losing the vest at the beginning, the female general was forced to marry the scheming prince

Chapter 83 It turns out like this

The guy whispered:

"Although there are many home-spun silk workshops in Jingcheng, the only weaving workshops and dyeing workshops that have really formed a large scale are brocade workshops. The other weaving workshops are basically family workshops, let alone dyeing workshops. They are all brocade workshops. opened."

"why?"

This time the guy not only didn't answer, but also started to chase people away.

After walking out of the shop, Ning Youbei was thoughtful.Yan Hong also understood a little bit, but Qu Chu didn't quite understand what it meant.

Afterwards, Ning Youbei asked a few more people, and finally came to the conclusion: If you want to buy a large amount of silk, you can only buy it from the brocade workshop.

Moreover, Ning Youbei also asked a series of questions such as the cost of raising silkworms, the price of raw silk, and the selling price of silk and satin, and Yan Hong also made the calculations for him.

get conclusion:

The profits of the people who planted mulberry trees, the farmers who raised silkworms, and the workshops that spun silk were limited, and the main profits were concentrated in weaving and dyeing.

That is to say: the profits are mainly attributed to the brocade workshop.

Now, Qu Chu understood a little.

She asked Ning Youbei: "Is this brocade workshop related to King Jing?"

Ningyou North Road:

"That's my guess. Jingcheng is the fiefdom of King Jing, and he is the biggest here. If something as big as a monopoly really happened, he couldn't possibly not know about it."

Indeed, since King Jing knew about it and didn't stop it, it can only show that this brocade workshop is related to him, what's more, it is his private property.

Qu Chu sorted out the matter before and after, meaning:

King Jing has indeed boosted Jingcheng's economy and made the lives of the common people better, but he has made more money himself.

He used the whole city to make money for him.

In this way, Qu Chu didn't know how to evaluate King Jing.

However, no matter how you say it, there is one thing that cannot be denied: King Jing is a very smart and talented person.

……

Qu Chu looked at Ning Youbei: "How did you think of knowing this?"

"It's nothing, I just thought that if King Jing wants to rebel, he must have a lot of silver. Since Jingcheng has no silver or copper mines, I'm wondering where his money comes from."

Qu Chu once again felt that Ning Youbei was very smart, and the facts also proved that King Jing really had other ideas.

The purpose of King Jing's extravagance is twofold: one is to truly consider the common people, and the other is to raise money.

If King Jing really cared about the people and would not count the profit card so low, he could definitely make the life of the people better.

But he didn't.

The life of ordinary people is much better than before, but it is still only to solve food and clothing, and the labor force paid is several times that of before.

If we simply look at the contribution and return, the common people will be exploited even more.

But the common people don't understand so much. What they see is that they no longer need to be hungry or die.

They are also grateful to King Jing for this.

Of course, it cannot be said that King Jing was wrong in doing so.However, this shows that King Jing has another purpose, he is for money.

What did King Jing spend all his time getting so much money for?
Just because you like money?That would be a little unreasonable.

The biggest possibility is that he needs money!

Why do you need money?

Because he wants to rebel!

……

ugly night
When Ning Youbei was fast asleep, Qu Chu sprinkled some special drugs on the window sill and the door of the room, and then left the inn wearing night clothes.

She wanted to sneak into Prince Jing's mansion to find out the truth.

Before entering the scope of King Jing's Mansion, Qu Chu felt that there were people in the dark, and there were more than one or two people.

Is it the person who came to investigate at night like myself or the person from King Jing's Mansion?Qu Chu didn't dare to be careless.

Qu Chu carefully discerned the direction and bypassed these secret people.

But further inward, the closer to King Jing's Mansion, the more pressure Qu Chu felt.She had felt this kind of pressure from her master before.

Qu Chu's heart trembled:
Unexpectedly, there are people with such high martial arts skills in the Prince Jing's Mansion!She had never felt it in the palace.

Qu Chu didn't dare to move.

She meditated in her heart on the few top masters that her master had mentioned to her. The master is no longer there, so who is this person in Jingwang's mansion?

Sword King?

Three-eyed saint?

Peach Blossom Fairy?

Or the Basilisk of Hundred Domains?
No matter who among these few people, Qu Chu will be seriously injured or even killed when facing each other.

The main purpose of coming out this time is not to deal with King Jing, but to investigate the real situation of the southern border guards and the Jianghuai area.Qu Chu didn't plan to probe in any more.

As for Qu Chu, he still wanted to confirm whether the person who raped her a few years ago was King Jing, and it was not that important.

Qu Chu retreated.

Back in the inn room, Qu Chu noticed a person sitting on the bed.

Qu Chu was on alert when a voice sounded: "Are you back?"

It's Ning Youbei.

Qu Chu relaxed and lit the candle.

"Why did you wake up?"

Ning Youbei looked at Qu Chu, her beautiful peach eyes were full of accusations.

"You left me alone in the inn, aren't you afraid that something will happen to me?"

Qu Chu took off his night clothes, "I sprinkled a special drug on the window sill and at the door of the room. If anyone breaks in, they will be stunned."

"Then what if someone is not stunned? If something happens to me, how will you explain it to Brother Huang?"

Hearing Ning Youbei's repeated grievances, Qu Chu actually felt wronged.

"Well, I will never leave you alone again."

With Qu Chu's promise, Ning Youbei immediately stood up and walked to Qu Chu's side.

He helped Qu Chu take off his night clothes: "Ah Chu, what can we do together?"

Qu Chu didn't answer him.

After taking off Qu Chu's night clothes, Ning Youbei held Qu Chu's hand, "Go to sleep!"

Ning Youbei went to bed first and slept in it.

Qu Chu lay down on the outside of the bed.

As soon as he lay down, Ning Youbei gently wrapped his arms around Qu Chu's waist.

Seeing that Ning Youbei was not separated from him by a gap as usual, but stretched out his hand, Qu Chu was about to reach out and brush Ning Youbei's hand away.

Just when he was about to make a move, Ning Youbei asked, "Go to King Jing's Mansion?"

"Well," Qu Chu paused, "But I didn't even dare to enter the gate of Prince Jing's Mansion."

Ning Youbei raised his head a little, looked at Qu Chu's face, and then lay down again.

"Why didn't you dare go in?"

"I feel the pressure from a very strong martial arts master."

Fearing that Ning Youbei would not understand, Qu Chu explained to him.

"If a person's martial arts has been practiced to a very high level, he can no longer be regarded as a human being, he can be regarded as a demigod. Not only do they have the power to turn rivers and seas, but they also have a longer life span than ordinary people. There is such a master in the world."

Ning Youbei sat up.

"Are you serious? Is it really that powerful?"

"Yes, Master once told me that there are five such demigods in the world today, and he himself was originally one of them. Unfortunately, he spent all his energy trying to change his son's life, and finally passed away early."
