Started to get rich after exile

The last state went back and forth for seven days, counting the time for arresting people and ransacking their homes, it took He Bai and Shan Zhao [-] days to hurry up and come back as soon as the task was completed, and the follow-up stolen money and arrested people arrived three days late .

As soon as he got the stolen money, Ming Langtao asked Ming Lanying to help sort it out. No one is more skilled than Ming Lanying in calculating money and managing accounts.

She didn't shirk it either, after all, there was something she had lent out that she wanted to take back.

The 20 reinforcements on the front line were organized as soon as they arrived, and Ye Juelu directly sent troops to fight.

The great general of the neighboring country didn't know what to think, and even resisted without distraction, allowing Ye Juelu's men to easily take down a city in less than half a month.

Soldiers from neighboring countries abandoned the outermost cities and people, and retreated to the back cities.

Ye Juelu took people through the screening and found that those who were left behind were all old, weak, sick and disabled people from all religions and groups, all of whom had been abandoned by their empire.

Ye Juelu silently looked at the more than 5000 prisoners of war in a city. These people are also a burden to them. Not only is it meaningless to take them in, but it will also hinder the development of the frontier.

They can drive them away, but driving them away is equivalent to giving up these more than 5000 lives.

This is not a threat or a burden to Ye Juelu. His childhood experience caused him to lose his sympathy and kindness for other living beings.

There are only a few that he can care about, Ming Lanying is the first, Ning'er is the second, the emperor and empress and the careless Hebai.

The lives directly or indirectly lost in his hands were more than the prisoners of war in front of him.

What he cares about is how to deal with the prisoners in front of him without affecting the reputation of the emperor.

When Ye Juelu had a headache, the good news had already been sent back to the frontier, and the city was full of celebrations. The name of Ye Juelu, King of Yanbei, became famous for a while, and more people wanted to put people in the backyard of the palace.

Ming Lanying also received the letter that Ye Juelu asked the secret guard to send back, just a short sentence.

"Looking at the faint clouds in the day and watching the stars at night, I miss you when I wake up and miss you when I sleep."

Ming Lanying clicked her tongue in distaste, but the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't be suppressed, and the plan to buy a medicine store at hand was quite pleasing to the eye.

She has no experience or talent in doing business, but she knows what is just needed. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are basic needs, and medicinal materials are just needed to maintain life.

In addition, if the emperor wants to expand the territory, Ye Juelu will lead the army to go out, and there must be armaments and medicinal materials in the barracks.

The army is under the control of the court, she has no right to act, but she can stockpile medicinal materials and put the matter of purchasing the drug store on the agenda.

Dongxia still remembers about Ms. Yang, and asks people to keep an eye on Ms. Yang's situation and report at any time.

Hearing that Yang Guilan's past half a month has been worse than life, Mrs. Yang invited three outstanding embroiderers to teach her how to become a woman.

The embroiderer is strict, Yang Guilan's talent is there, and she can't embroider a picture of a hundred birds facing the phoenix in half a month.

I could only sleep for two hours a day, and all ten of my fingers were pricked with pinholes. Mrs. Yang was torturing her like crazy.

When the other girls heard that Yang Guilan was attracted by the princess because of her outstanding embroidery skills, they were all surprised for a while.

Yang Guilan's embroiderer can win the favor of the princess, so wouldn't theirs make the princess treat her differently!
As long as Ming Lanying shows interest in something, they will follow suit.

The prince is not in the frontier, and the only one who can speak in front of the prince is her, the concubine. It is faster to please the concubine than trying to please the prince who doesn't know when he will come back.

Those who wanted to be sisters with Princess Yanbei hurriedly copied and embroidered, and sent the embroidery masterpiece to Ming Lanying in a hurry.

There are clever ones who are practicing their unique skills hard, waiting for the opportunity to perform in front of Ming Lanying.

When He Bai and Shan Zhao came back, it happened to be Yang Guilan's half-month period.

"Sister-in-law! We are back!"

The smell of blood was mixed with the dust of the two people, and the wolf cub could smell it from a distance, shook his head and sneezed, and followed the little master to meet people.

Dong Xia said to the two with a smile: "It's better to come back sooner than later. Today is half a month, and it's the day to decide whether Miss Yang can enter the palace."

He Bai rolled up his sleeves and was about to go out with Ming Lanying, but was grabbed by Ming Lanying.

"Okay, what's the hurry! You two should go change your clothes first, and then come back."

"But--"

He Bai wanted to say something else, but Shan Zhao dragged him away first.

"But what the hell, if you want to vent your anger on the princess sister-in-law, change your clothes quickly, don't embarrass the princess sister-in-law!"

Ming Lanying crossed her arms and looked at the hands of the two, but He Bai didn't resist. This slight change surprised her.

When the two of them pulled each other before, they hooked their shoulders and put their backs on their backs, but both of them were guarded against men and women, and they didn't get too close. Compared with hooking their shoulders and backs, holding hands is a more intimate move.

After these few missions, our relationship has improved a lot!
When the two of them changed their clothes and came out, they found that Ming Lanying was gone, only Dongxia, Ning'er, and wolf cubs were in the main hall.

He Bai curled his lips in dissatisfaction, "Where's my sister-in-law? Did she run away behind our backs?"

Dongxia smiled and shook her head, "The shopkeeper Li came to see his sister-in-law to see the new venue, and left first, but left a message, let us wait here for Miss Yang to come."

He Bai sat down next to Dong Xia, drinking tea with his feet crossed, "Just wait like this? What if she doesn't come?"

Dongxia said confidently: "No, she will definitely come, and it's up to you how to say it then, people are not allowed to enter the mansion anyway."

Shan Zhao patted the table, "Of course! A place like the Wangfu is where cats and dogs like them can get in! Ning'er, take the wolf cubs here! If you want to enter the Wangfu first, you can't be afraid of the wolf cubs!"

Ning'er hummed, and pulled out a handsome wolf's head. It is everyone's responsibility to protect parents!

Steward Wang in the front yard was not there, and Steward Wang in the back yard was on top. Wang Yuying stepped into the hall with a smile to deliver the message.

"Masters, people are here."

Ming Lanying handed over Yang Guilan to Hebai, Shan Zhao, and Dongxia to take care of it, and believed that they would be fine.

I took Steward Wang and Nanny Cai from the front yard, and together with Shopkeeper Li, I went to the new location of Kanda restaurant branch in the next county.

With Wang Changying, who is very budget-conscious, the new address was quickly settled at a low price, and it was the busiest trading center area in the county.

After deciding on the address, it was time to pretend and staff, Ming Lanying discussed with shopkeeper Li for a while, and left twenty guards with knives to guard the venue.

The restaurant is well-known, and there are quite a few jealous people who will do things behind their backs. Ming Lanying is afraid that the new venue will be exposed, so it is better to use force to solve all problems than messing around with brains.

Shopkeeper Li, the follow-up installer, has acquaintances. Ming Lanying doesn’t need to worry about it, but he has put a little thought into the design, which can save cost and be practical and beautiful.

In the next county, I discussed with shopkeeper Li about the branch for a day, and I only rushed back at sunset.

As soon as she arrived at the gate of the mansion, she bumped into Meng Huaisu, and Ming Lanying simply got out of the car to say hello.

"Yo! Did Meng Tongpan come to take Dongxia back?"

When Meng Huaisu saw her coming back from the outside with Nanny Cai and Steward Wang in the front yard, she knew she was out on business and bowed her head.

"Yes, the princess just came back from work?"

"Go next door and check the address of the new store, I'm exhausted." Ming Lanying rubbed her stiff neck, "Go in, Dongxia and the others should have finished their work."

"busy?"

Meng Huaisu was a little confused. Every day in Dongxia's palace, she dealt with medicinal materials, helped Ming Lanying take care of her body, or helped the maids in the palace to treat minor illnesses. She was never busy throughout the day. It was rare for Ming Lanying to say that she was busy.

Ming Lanying smiled and waved her hands, "Hey! A little thing, just to make them have some fun."

Meng Huai understood clearly, "Is it about the Yang family?"

"Dongxia told you?"

Meng Huaisu nodded, because he also knew something about the things that were often talked about during the winter and summer. It can only show that the idea that Lanying came up with is really bad, but it is indeed lively and can be used to scare others.

"Princess is very resourceful."

Meng Huaisu praised with a deadpan expression, and what Ming Lanying said was always a bit eccentric in Ming Lanying's eyes.

As soon as Ming Lanying got off the carriage, the concierge hurried over to inform her, and several people who were reviewing the game in the garden immediately ran to meet her.

Dong Xia also saw Meng Huaisu, and said, "Look at me, I'm so happy, I forgot to go back!"

Meng Huaisu nodded faintly, "It's okay, I'll pick you up along the way."

Dong Xia smiled, and pulled Meng Huaisu to sit down together, "Let's listen to the excitement together when you come, He Bai and Shan Zhao are really bad today, Miss Yang ran out crying."

Ning'er came forward to squeeze Ming Lanying's shoulders intimately, and shared today's fun with Ming Lanying, He Bai and Shan Zhao interjected from time to time, and the few of them gave a general overview of what happened in a hurry.

Mrs. Yang waited in the mansion for a long time but didn't see anyone coming from the mansion. She couldn't wait any longer, so she brought her daughter directly to the manor.

But Ming Lanying left early, so of course she didn't see her, and she heard that Lanying had handed over the rights to Hebai and the others, and asked Mrs. Yang to go directly to Hebai and the others when she came.

Mrs. Yang thinks about it, it's not impossible, maybe people here don't dare to pick up the people that the princess values ​​at will, and if they pass this level, they will be the people of the palace, so they drag their daughter in.

As a result, the first time they met, He Bai and Shan Zhao seemed to have turned on a magical switch, and they couldn't stop laughing.

After finally stopping, Mrs. Yang explained the purpose of her visit, and several people asked Yang Guilan to present her work for a look. Yang Guilan presented a hanging painting of mandarin ducks playing in water with a pale complexion.

He Bai and Shan Zhao suppressed their laughter and criticized the embroidery from head to toe. They even picked out the burrs in the fabric and analyzed [-] words.

Each one of them told Yang Guilan that she was crying. Mrs. Yang's face didn't look good either. She told Ming Lanying that she valued her daughter, and even accused Hebai and others of disrespecting the princess by not following her wishes.

He Bai directly sprayed, "Madam, when did you hear that the princess valued your daughter? As long as you know, do others know? You have to tell evidence, just like your daughter, what is the princess satisfied with her? The servant girl is a hundred times prettier than her, tell me what makes the princess satisfied with her?"

Mrs. Yang just wanted to explain to her, but found that today's side hall was not even familiar to the maids except for Dong Xia who was obviously with them, so she couldn't argue with it for a while.

Shan Zhao also turned his head to ask Dongxia specifically, Dongxia shook his head, "Princess Wang only said to give her half a month to learn a skill, she learned well and convinced her, then she can consider taking Miss Yang into the mansion."

"But looking at Miss Yang like this, it seems that learning is not effective. Madam Yang, don't worry, why don't you go back and practice?"

Shan Zhao sneered, "What are you practicing for! That's it. She won't be able to learn it even if she practices for another hundred or eighty years. How can she serve the prince with such poor skills? She still wants to be with the princess? She doesn't look good, but What a beautiful thought!”

He Bai also clicked his tongue twice at Yang Guilan, "How do you say it? Who gave you the confidence to think that you are a female celebrity? Just this embroidery worker, I can embroider casually by myself better than you, right?"

Yang Guilan's figure was on the verge of falling, and Mrs. Yang became anxious, "The princess didn't mean that at the time, she clearly agreed that my daughter would be admitted to the palace after she learns a skill!"

He Bai took a sip of his tea, "It was then, and now is now. What does the princess' decision at that time have to do with my decision now? The princess left this matter to us, and if we say your daughter can't do it, then she can't do it. "

Mrs. Yang can't care about anything anymore, the first concubine in the palace can only be her daughter, and she has let go of what she must win, and she can't be slapped in the face so quickly!
Hastily took out another sachet from his sleeve, and handed it to He Bai, "Miss, please be considerate, it's just a matter of what the girl said, this sachet is a piece of affection from the women, and it suits the girl."

Hearing this, Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows, "And then? Then you let the person in?"

He Bai grinned, "How can I! Of course I'm just 'inviting' him out for his money."

Shan Zhao snorted and laughed, "She told those two people that she would say good things for them when the concubine came back. As for whether Miss Yang could enter the palace, she didn't mention it at all. , the footsteps are weak, tsk tsk tsk—"

Dongxia also covered her mouth and smiled, and explained quietly to Meng Huaisu: "Miss Yang has not had a good sleep for half a month, and she is naturally in a trance. In addition, Mrs. Yang is eager to see her daughter, which has been putting pressure on her. Within a month, Yang The girl is going to be driven crazy.”

Ming Lanying glanced at the sachet in Hebai's hand, "How much did they give you?"

He Bai stretched out a hand and made a gesture of five, "500 taels!"

500 taels is worth more than half of the lifetime expenses of a family of five in the frontier fortress.

Ming Lanying was a little surprised. The wife of a county magistrate had 500 taels and 500 taels. She had quite a lot of assets!
"So have you figured out how to end it?"

He Bai shook his head, "Isn't this waiting for sister-in-law to come back to come up with an idea? My sister-in-law is so smart, she must have figured out a way, right? Sister-in-law, tell me, I'll do it for you! Sister-in-law, do you think you should call someone over tomorrow? , and then we’ll give her a hard time, drive them back to wait for news, and torture them repeatedly like this!”

Ming Lanying: "..."

Hebai's skill points are all on strength and chatter, right?
"Although your idea is very good, I have a more interesting idea, which can make more money and have fun."

"What! Sister-in-law, tell me quickly! I want to listen, I want to listen!"

Ming Lanying pointed to the 500 taels of silver note in Hebai's hand, "A wife of a county magistrate can have 500 taels of oil and water at one time, so if we directly hold an election contest, each person's registration fee is 100 taels, and you will be the judges. You can see how much you can charge in private, and how much do you think you can earn through this operation?"

"hiss--!"

He Bai took a deep breath, Shan Zhao also widened his eyes in shock, and Dong Xia clapped his hands excitedly.

"Sister-in-law is so smart! Hold a tea party for the reason of choosing a concubine for the prince, let those people pay directly to compare their talents, and there will be fun to watch, and you can torment these people. Anyone who dares to hit the prince's attention!"

He Bai asked, "What about Yang Guilan?"

Shan Zhao frowned and thought for a moment, "She is almost driven crazy. Let's just add more fire. Isn't she a thorn in the eyes of this group of people now? Let's talk about how good she is and how satisfied the princess is, making them jealous. , take action for us."
