The empress is also very hot today

Chapter 51 Need a lot of money
Hearing Shangguan Yuce's question about why Ran Tong came in person, Ran Tong didn't immediately mention the change of throne on the northern desert grassland, but found a reason to prevaricate it.

After all, even if he is Taichang, Shangguan Yuce is still a "civilian" and his position is wrong. If he proposes the change of the grassland throne in the court, it will naturally lose its authenticity, and as a close friend of the former King Kaixun, now Today's Shangguan Yuce itself is a bit precarious, and it's a happy event that Qi Jingyu didn't liquidate him.

So for the sake of myself and Shangguan Yuce's situation, don't let him take risks.

"A few days ago, Steward Li brought only a few items in the list. You are welcome, Uncle Yu Ce. Feel free to tell Qing Wan what items you need this time." Ran Tong changed the subject.

But Shangguan Yuce looked a little embarrassed after hearing this.

This small move naturally caught Ran Tong's eyes, and she immediately asked in a low voice.

"Uncle Yuce, if Qingwan's guess is correct, is it related to Liang Wang Qi Tianzhe?"

Shangguan Yuce sighed, picked up the teapot on the table, filled the cup in front of Ran Tong with a cup of tea, and then poured a cup himself, took a sip first, and then said quietly.

"That's right, since the things I brought back from Qingwan Manor were highly sought after in Tiangong Pavilion last time, this King Liang has been eyeing me. Among them, the glass mirror and pencil have alarmed all the celebrities in Chengjing. Qi Tianzhe is one of them." Shangguan Yuce: "But although this person never bought mirrors in Tiangong Pavilion, he came directly to my house to inquire about the source of the goods. He knows that it is impossible for these objects to exist in Chengjing. .”

After pondering for a while, Ran Tong asked.

"Then...how did Uncle Yu Ce reply to Qi Tianzhe?"

"I just found a reason to refuse, but this person is very scheming and playful, and he is especially concerned about these weird things. I expected that he would not let it go, so I ordered Butler Li to bring only enough to go to the manor this time." Useful thing, but I never thought that he would send someone to stop the convoy directly to search for the car." Shangguan Yuce shook his head: "The Jiang Taijing who wanted to search for the car just now is the famous dog beside King Liang. If he finds out With the existence of the manor, Qingwan is in danger."

After listening, Ran Tong bit his lips lightly.

She had forgotten that there was Qi Tianzhe in Chengjing. This man was ignorant and idle, but his status was extremely noble and dangerous. As the prince, he was also Qi Jingyu's right-hand man when he seized the throne. With the support of the emperor Qi Jingyu, Not to mention that this person is in his own palace territory, even in Chengjing, he is still arrogant. If it wasn't for Shangguan Yuce's status as the former Yushi doctor, this Qi Tianzhe would never give it to him just because of his current title. Face.

This Qi Tianzhe wears the same pair of pants as Qi Jingyu, so he must not let this guy know about the existence of his manor.

"In that case, Uncle Yuce... we need to find another way." Ran Tong thought for a long time.

"What's Qingwan's opinion?"

"I can't talk about opinions, but because Qi Tianzhena and other identities are really difficult to deal with, the logistics channel between us may have to be closed."

"Closed... Well, that's the only way to go now." Shangguan Yuce sighed: "But Qingwan, your manor is in the development stage, and the supplies you need are in short supply. Since we can't purchase, shipping should not be a problem, Qingwan If you need anything, you can talk to Uncle Yu Ce, you're welcome."

But Ran Tong also waved his hands: "Uncle Yu Ce can't."

Since Shangguan Yuce does not purchase goods from the manor, he must not take the risk of buying supplies from here. Qi Tianzhe has already become suspicious of the Taichang Mansion, and it would be dangerous to let him investigate deeply.

The top priority is to stabilize Qi Tianzhe first. As long as the logistics are temporarily cut off, Qi Tianzhe will naturally give up after he finishes his investigation inside and outside Chengjing.

"It's better for us to be on the safe side now. Let's wait for a while and wait until the storm is over. At least wait until that Qi Tianzhe loses his patience."

"What Qingwan said is true." Shangguan Yuce nodded. He also thought of this method himself, but he didn't have the nerve to mention it.

After all, the development of the manor does require a lot of supplies, but Ran Tong can't buy them in Chengjing, even if she has other buyers besides Shangguan Yuce. Door entry and exit are strictly guarded.

Alas, I am a little irritable.

It seems that we can only focus on Youzhou and Bianzhou. Although these two cities are extremely poor, they are huge compared to the manor. It is more than enough to buy some food, vegetables, fruits and building materials.

But within Bianzhou of Youzhou... Not to mention Ran Tong, even Shangguan Yuce has no contacts, if you want to buy supplies in these two cities, then it is really "buying".

So Ran Tong needs money.

Coupled with the main task of the workbench system, Ran Tong needs a lot of money!
"By the way, Uncle Yuce, what kind of property do you have in this city? Well, house or ground are fine."

Shangguan Yuce took a sip of tea and thought about it carefully.

"Yes, but why does Qingwan ask this?"

"To be honest with Uncle Yuce, Qingwan wants to use Uncle Yuce's property to do some business." Ran Tong chuckled: "If Uncle Yuce doesn't mind, Qingwan wants to join you and open some shops in Chengjing to make money. Make up for the outage of logistics.”

As soon as these words came out, Shangguan Yuce's eyes lit up.

He is not a businessman, and to be honest, he is not enthusiastic about doing business, but it has become too common to be demoted from the imperial censor. Whether it is in the court or in daily life, his free time is indeed several times more.

Because of some special reasons, Shangguan Yuce did need some money, otherwise he would not have had logistics dealings with Qing Wan, nor would he have been targeted by Qi Tianzhe.

Now the little girl in front of him proposed again, as if he had returned to the Northern Region manor a few days ago, when he took out the glass mirror to shock everyone, this Sikong Qingwan was the shrewd eyes at the moment.

"Hahaha, what is Qingwan talking about? Why are we talking about such a relationship? My family has a lot of property. If you need it, just use it."

After all, he got up directly, and then rummaged in a corner of the study for a while.

After a few minutes, he turned back and laid out a thick ledger on the table.

"A few years ago when I was the doctor of the royal family, I had sixteen properties in the capital, but now seven have closed down and lost money, and I have resold another one a few days ago, and now there are still eight. , Ran Tong, see for yourself which real estate you can use in Chengjing today."

Shangguan Yuce's open-mindedness really caught Ran Tong by surprise.

But after thinking about it, Shangguan Yuce has seen unlimited potential in himself, not only the manor in the Northern Territory, but also the glass pencils she made, which have made him a lot of money.

Why doesn't he take a gamble.

"Thank you Uncle Yuce for your trust."

After finishing speaking, Ran Tong looked at the account book carefully without politeness.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, Ran Tong was shocked into a cold sweat when he saw it.

The industry owned by Shangguan Yuce in front of him...

Simply amazing!
