Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 531

"What do you want to report?" The jade-faced man returned to his seat and took a sip of tea.

"It's about Zhou Chenxiang." Murong Hong said respectfully, "Zhou Chenxiang's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. This time, he gave a New Year's gift, and he asked for 500 million taels!"
Yongsheng Commercial Bank can monopolize the economic lifeline of the Great Zhou Kingdom, among which Zhou Chenxiang must contribute secretly, and the money is naturally not less.

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 told his subordinates not to provoke Princess Ye, but the business of the world commercial firm may grow slowly."

The jade-faced man chuckled.

"How big can it be? Give her some sweetness first."

"Without the protection of the Night King, wanting her to die is like crushing an ant? I will do it myself when the time comes."

Murong Hong nodded: "Yes, master."

The jade-faced man stared at Murong Hong and told him: "Make a good relationship with Zhou Chenxiang, let him treat you as one of his own, and do whatever he wants."

"Okay, this subordinate knows."

After giving Murong Hong some instructions, the jade-faced man left.

Shen Yu'an got the big secret about Ding Xiaolian, and wanted to find out, but when he thought about the war in northern Xinjiang, maybe there was a shortage of food, how would the soldiers fight without enough to eat? So he left everything behind, and making money was the most important thing.

In the next few days, she was busy working in Tianxia Commercial Firm. First, she bought a pastry shop and put the pastry shop on the right track. With the pastries made by the pastry shop, the business of the tea house is booming.

In order to make money as soon as possible, she asked King Xuan to find a group of people, and train them all to become pastry chefs and restaurant chefs. After signing the confidentiality agreement, they will be sent to major cities, so that the restaurant and teahouse business in all cities will soon be able to Get better.

Afterwards, caramel masters were also trained, and the caramel workshop can also start production.

At this time, there was a raw material problem. Shen Yuan gritted his teeth and sprayed the growth agent in the space to plant a round of sugarcane. After that, he ran to the pier and hired an empty cargo ship, loaded all the sugarcane on the cargo ship, and asked Zhao Ke to go Buy.

After "buying" the cane, Shen Yuan taught Zhao Ke how to use the cane as raw material to make various candies, which took a lot of time.

However, the rewards are also very attractive. The candies from the caramel shop soon became famous among the dignitaries, and the profits were very considerable.

In addition, the "squatting toilet" Zhao Han has also been completed, and set up a room in the Yunlai Inn for experimentation, which was very successful. After the official report, it will start mass production, and the business of the inn should be booming soon. .

On this day, Shen Yu'an, Guanshi Qian, and King Xuan gathered in Tianxia Commercial Bank to make accounts.

In just half a month, the profit of various businesses in Guangjing City was nearly 10 taels, the profit of Lingzhou City was nearly 100 million taels last year, and the profit of Tongzhou City was more than 40 taels. The profit is 2105 million taels.

In addition to the 100 million taels promised by Ding Xiaolian, all of them were sent to He Jin after Ding Shishi was ready.

Sending so much money to Beijing is not safe, and it will take time, so Ding Xiaolian later sent Hongluan to Tianxia Commercial Bank to make this suggestion.

Shen Yu'an naturally couldn't ask for it.

So there was a total of three million taels of silver. After King Xuan asked the emperor for instructions, he asked He Jin to take all of them from Daqi and exchange them for rice noodles, grain, grass and various bacon and dried meat, and then asked General Wei Liang to send troops to northern Xinjiang.

This year's locust plague, although there are potatoes to save the emergency, how can the soldiers replenish their physical strength after fighting the enemy bravely on the battlefield?
Moreover, Shen Yu'an also wrote a letter to Emperor Jing Yuan privately, mentioning that he could cure the "poison" on his body, and asked him to sell this batch of rice grains to the Great Zhou Kingdom at half price.

Emperor Jing Yuan was particularly impressed with Shen Yu'an, and once recognized her as his daughter, so it was impossible not to agree.After solving this matter, Shen Yuan was at least relieved.

Time flies, Ji Xun and Zhang Neng have already arrived in northern Xinjiang after traveling day and night.

Shen Yu'an received Ji Xun's letter, in which she wrote nothing but missing words, telling her to take good care of Ji Feng and herself.

Three days before the queen's birthday, Ding Xiaolian found the opportunity to go out of the palace, and came to Tianxia Commercial Firm disguised as a court lady.

Shen Yu'an had already extracted a medicine to treat Ding Xiaolian's palace cold disease, and she handed the medicine bottle to Ding Xiaolian.

"Three times a day, take it half an hour after meals, and take the medicine for three days to ensure your body recovers."

"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 Yuan shrugged his shoulders, "If you are afraid that I will harm you, you can choose not to take the medicine, but I will not refund you the money.'
Ding Xiaolian bit her lips: "Believe you, although you really annoy me, you are still a trustworthy person." After speaking, Ding Xiaolian took Hongluan and left.

When returning to the palace, she saw Shen Weiwei's father, Shen Zuorong, wandering outside with a broken gong like a beggar near the gate of the palace.

Ding Xiaolian was shocked for a moment, feeling that something was wrong with Shen Weiwei's father, how long has it been? Five thousand taels of silver are gone? The other day Shen Weiwei said that he had given him 3 taels of silver before, but he also squandered it Now, it seems that he either entered the brothel, or fell in love with gambling.

Shen Weiwei is still useful to her right now, for example, if there is no Shen Weiwei when she leaves the palace today, it is impossible for her to find a way out.

After thinking about it, he hurriedly said to Hongluan, "You take Shen Weiwei's father, Shen Zuorong, to Penglai Restaurant, give the shopkeeper 200 taels of silver, and ask the shopkeeper to take care of Shen Zuorong's three meals a day, as long as he can eat enough."

"Yes, Miss." Hongluan also knew that Shen Zuorong was a time bomb, so she hurriedly took the money from Ding Xiaolian, and led Shen Zuorong to Penglai Restaurant.

Zhaoshu Palace, this night the jade-faced man went to Xia Luoluo's bed again.

Pulling Xia Luoluo's hand to take her pulse directly, after taking the pulse, he put his hand towards Xia Luoluo's stomach with a disappointed face.

"What's going on? Why can't I get pregnant?"
"Don't you say that the princess's body is fine?" "I'm fine, it must be your problem~~ Charlotte wanted to say this, but she didn't dare, and swallowed the words again.

This man came and went without a trace, so his identity must not be simple. Right now, she has to rely on him and not offend him.

"Why can't I get pregnant? It'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 that?" Charlotte seemed to understand, but also didn't seem to understand.

"Change another woman and see if I can conceive."

"What if it is possible?" Xia Luoluo was calm on the face, but anxious in her heart. A woman who can't give birth to a child will not have a future, and she is afraid that she really won't be able to give birth.

The jade-faced man seemed to have seen through her mind, and comforted her:
"The ones born by other people are naturally born by you. Have you ever heard of changing a civet cat for a prince? It's the same."

Xia Luoluo is clear now, it means to call someone a 'surrogate', she has a fake pregnancy, and after giving birth, she will say that she gave birth.Can be chosen. Pfft, isn’t there one around?
