Chapter 339 News about Chang Ming

"When I left the Chenjun Xie family, I took part of my property with me. After four months of investment conversion and value-added cooperation with Jiangnan Family, I have now accumulated a very considerable amount of liquidity."

The charm gradually faded away, and the girl lazily straightened her bun and shook it, leaving only a trace of blush on her face that still lingered.

Fang Weihan instinctively felt that this sentence seemed a bit wrong: "Significant? So how much is it specifically?"

"Most of the banknotes are copper coins, and there are also some gold reserves. If all are converted into silver..."

The girl meditated on mental arithmetic and finally came up with an accurate number.

"About 2.8 million taels."

"How many?!"

The moment he heard this number, Fang Weihan was a little dumbfounded.

What is the concept of two million eight hundred thousand taels?

In the inner city of Changming City, a prime location residence next to Tianjie. A large house with three entrances is sold for about fifteen thousand taels of silver in the Yaren market.

The total annual business tax of Yongzhou Province was about five hundred thousand taels of silver.

The money Xie Lingwan earned in four months was equivalent to buying more than 180 three-entry houses in the inner city of Changming, that is, one square meter.

Or converted into five and a half years of business tax next year.

This is quite an amazing fortune.

One hundred years after the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, after a long period of recuperation, the central government's treasury was unprecedentedly abundant, reaching a peak that had never been seen before, and perhaps would never be seen again.

According to incomplete statistics, there were 100 million yuan in the treasury at that time, which was 100 million taels of silver.

And there certainly isn't that much left in the current Great Zhou treasury. There is probably only one-tenth of the amount left in its heyday, equivalent to ten million taels of silver.

In other words, Xie Lingyuan now controls a quarter of the Great Zhou treasury...

And this is only the "liquidity" that the girl can use. If invisible assets and real estate are included, this number will become extremely terrifying.

Fang Weihan had to be shocked again by his fiancée's financial resources.

The mysterious laws of gold and stone, coupled with the girl's smart and decisive character, are almost a crushing presence in the shopping mall. I'm afraid that the entire source of Jiangnan's wealth has now been captured by Xie Lingwan.

"It may be a little less...but it should be enough to support a husband."

Xie Lingwan rolled up her hair into a bun, and her slender white wrists were as bright as frost and snow.

"You don't need so much to support me." Fang Weihan said speechlessly, "I don't know how to spend so much money if you give it to me."

"Besides, I'm not going to take your money for nothing."

Fang Weihan thought for a while and took out his Guangling Prince Seal.

"A few days ago, I got all the tax revenue from Guangling County from Fang Zun. But he said that this part of the money has always been with you. Is it true?"

"It's not with me either, it's just that I didn't give it to Fang Zun."

Xie Lingwan waved her hand.

"Guangling County's non-payment of taxes is a matter of common agreement among the emperors of the past dynasties. This tradition has been continued since the flood occurred there during the reign of Emperor Xuan of Zhou Dynasty. Guangling is under the rule of Xuzhou and is one of the two southernmost counties of Xuzhou. 1. My current influence can only radiate to the counties in the south of the Yangtze River. There is nothing I can do about Guangling across the river. "

Fang Weihan: "I feel ashamed to say that, as the King of Guangling, I have never been to Guangling once... In this case, whose sphere of influence does Guangling belong to now?"

"The appointment of officials belongs to the imperial court itself. However, Guangling County relies on fish and salt and is famous as the end point of the Grand Canal, so its natural commercial income accounts for the largest amount. I have been working hard in this area recently. Maybe Fang Zun also felt this, so he Let’s just hand over the nominal jurisdiction of this county to you.”

Xie Lingyuan chuckled.

"How much tax can Guangling County have in a year?"

"A lot, even slightly better than Wu County and Kuaiji County. Guangling is a large county, and its territory is mostly fertile plains, suitable for farming. The terrain is along the river and the sea, and the Grand Canal passes through the city. The location is extremely advantageous. ”

The girl tilted her head and took the data at her fingertips:

"Wu County's total annual tax is 200,000 guan, Kuaiji's total annual tax is 220,000 guan, and Guangling's total annual tax is about 250,000 guan. This is a quite large number. ...Except for Yuyang County in Youzhou, which has the market trade, Shu County in Yizhou in the Land of Abundance, and Jincheng County in Liangzhou, which is the starting point of the Tianfang Silk Road, Xuzhou Guangling is the undisputed fourth county in the world. "

"Oh!"

Fang Weihan suddenly slapped the table, looking excited.

Xie Lingwan glared at him: "What are you doing?"

"Wanwan, I want to invest in it."

Fang Weihan said seriously.

"Buy... shares?"

Xie Lingwan pondered for a moment and understood what Fang Weihan meant.

The girl raised her lips and looked at him teasingly: "Do you want to be my boss?"

"Yes, I have decided to hand over all the taxes of Guangling County to you, and at the same time, completely open its business to the Xie family of Chen County."

Fang Weihan felt that his idea was unexpectedly good.

I saved a little uncooked rice in the soft rice. Xie Lingwan, on the other hand, was able to move his power northward across the river.

Isn’t this a perfect win-win situation?

The girl nodded slightly: "Well... it's not bad. But since this is the plan proposed by my husband, of course I agree."

She winked at Fang Weihan and smiled mischievously.

Fang Weihan was a little stunned when he saw the innocent smile in her eyes that he hadn't seen for a long time.

He remembered that when he was more than ten years old, the girl in front of him always put her little hands behind her back and smiled like this at him. At that time, it was raining on Changming Street. She held an umbrella and walked in the rain, like a green lotus in the pond.

"Thank you, madam."

Fang Weihan looked into her eyes and said softly.

The girl was also stunned, looked at him for a long time, and responded with a smile: "You're welcome."

They looked at each other, with only the shadow of each other in their eyes. The atmosphere around him gradually heated up, and there seemed to be a feeling of spring flowing in the room.

But soon, a rapid knock on the door interrupted this beautiful atmosphere.

"Enter."

Xie Lingwan calmed down her expression and switched back to her daily work state.

"Miss, this is the information that Changming's secret agent Qianli sent you urgently."

The maid quickly walked into the room holding a scroll, handed the scroll to Xie Lingyuan and walked out quickly.

Xie Lingwan unfolded the scroll and quickly read the contents, and her thin eyebrows could not help but frown.

Fang Weihan asked: "What is written on it?"

"Last night, Fang Zun established the crown prince."

Xie Lingwan's face was as solemn as water, and her eyebrows flashed with thoughts.

Fang Weihan: "..."

Although he had already foreseen this incident in his heart, he still made a solemn expression in sync with Xie Lingyuan on the surface.

"Who? King Qin or King Jin?"

"neither."

Xie Lingwan frowned and shook her head.

"It's a little-known princess named Fang Tang... No, she couldn't even be considered a princess before. Fang Zun just canonized her as Princess Changming yesterday. This title is really too abnormal."

"This seems to be Fang Zun's illegitimate daughter, but she unusually possesses a very strong blood affinity with the emperor."

Fang Weihan knowingly asked: "How strong is it?"

"Strong enough that she can pull out the Xuan Yao Sword."

"what?!"

Xie Lingwan glanced at him and felt that her husband's reaction was too much.

However, considering that he was also a member of the royal family, it was only natural that he would react greatly when he heard that the Xuan Yao Sword could be pulled out.

The girl who was thinking about this matter didn't think much about it. After all, her husband's every move was under her control. Where did he get the chance to get to know a royal princess who jumped out of nowhere?

"Fang Zun did not pass the throne to the full-fledged kings of Qin and Jin, but instead chose a princess who only had the royal blood relationship but no power support..."

Xie Lingyuan muttered to herself.

"What does he want to do?"

Fang Weihan did not disturb her thinking, but waited quietly aside.

When Tao Yunjiang and Xiao Jin came to find them after taking a bath, Xie Lingyuan told them the news. "I just learned the news."

Xiao Jin, who had changed into a new dress, snorted softly.

"I didn't expect your intelligence source to be so fast, almost as fast as Xuan Zhongwei's."

After being released and changing clothes, Xiao Xiaojin spoke forcefully.

"Who is this Fang Tang...?"

Tao Yunjiang asked blankly.

"I don't know. It's not just us who don't know... everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty knows nothing about this person."

Xiao Jin sneered.

"Who knows where Fang Zunxong found such a person. It would be fine if she was just an illegitimate daughter. If her name is not justified, it would be difficult to achieve anything big. But her blood relationship with the emperor is ridiculously high, and the two kings of Qin and Jin are on the same stage. I barely have the qualifications to carry her shoes.”

"The prince has been established, we must make plans early. Test Fang Tang's attitude."

Xie Lingwan turned her attention to Fang Weihan.

"Husband, you are the leader of the East Palace Guards. And this Fang Tang is expected to take charge of the East Palace soon. It is most appropriate for you to complete this task."

Fang Weihan nodded: "Leave it to me."

Xiao Jin and Tao Yunjiang did not express any objection to this arrangement. After all, this was the most reasonable solution.

Xie Lingwan said again, "We will arrive at Xiangyang City in half a day. It's time to make plans for the future."

"Xiao Jin, you stay with me in Jingzhou and head south to Jiangling soon, taking your Xuan Zhong Guard with you."

Xie Lingwan looked at Xiao Jin.

"Oh, are you thinking of me now?"

Xiao Jin continued to sneer with his arms crossed.

Xie Lingwan was in a good mood today and was too lazy to play with her, so she simply flicked her sleeves and said, "Don't pull her down."

"Xie Lingwan, what's your attitude!"

Xiao Jin immediately stood up angrily, slapped the table and wanted to go find her and talk to her.

"Hey, hey, Xiaojin, don't be angry, don't be angry!"

Fang Weihan hurriedly smoothed things over.

When there is a risk of fire in the harem, he must jump out to maintain ecological stability.

Xiao Jin said angrily: "I don't want to work with this guy. I am simply tied up for fear of dirtying my own hands."

"No, Xiaojin."

Fang Weihan Xiaozhi persuaded him with reason and emotion.

"The Jingzhou family openly sided with us and almost caused irreparable losses. It is impossible for us not to settle this account with them. This kind of task requires the participation of Xuan Zhongwei, which is also good for the Lanling Xiao family. ”

He pulled Xiao Jin's soft little hand.

"Just think of it as my request, okay?"

"Since it is Brother Fang's request, even if this woman is so annoying, I can only stay."

Xiao Jin pursed his lips and shook his hand in response.

At the same time, he rubbed it without leaving any trace, making Tao Yunjiang look envious.

How could anyone swing something like this around?

Aren't her shoulders usually sore? Is this really a reasonable size? What did Xiaojin eat when she grew up...

"Oh, the backflow of energy in the body is blocked, and it is obvious that the desire is dissatisfied."

Xie Lingyuan sneered.

"Do you feel uncomfortable holding it in? You can solve it yourself, right?"

Xiao Jin: "!!!"

Fang Weihan on the side saw Xiao Jin clenching her fist tightly and seemed to be turning black, so he hurriedly hugged her from his side.

"Brother Fang, let me go!"

Xiao Jin said angrily.

She is really angry! Xie Lingyuan actually used this to stimulate herself, it was so shameless!
Fang Weihan spent a lot of effort to calm down the angry Xiao Jin. Every time Xiao Jin and Xie Lingwan met, it was almost impossible not to have a fight.

"Where is Yun Jiang? Where are you going after returning to Xiangyang?"

"me……"

The girl blinked and quietly took Fang Weihan's other hand.

"I will also stay in Jingzhou for a while."

"The forces of the Fire Worship Cult here have not been completely wiped out. Grandpa wants me to take the Changyuan Iron Guard to clean up the mess."

This is an understandable decision.

Tao Yunjiang was young and needed to establish authority in the Changyuan Iron Guard, and the mission of suppressing bandits in Jingzhou was a good opportunity.

Xiao Jin suddenly remembered something: "In that case... doesn't it mean that Brother Fang can only go back to Changming alone?"

"It seems...no, there's Miss Wen too!"

Tao Yunjiang reminded after reacting.

"Sister Wen..."

Xiao Jin stopped making any sound.

The atmosphere in the room was somewhat silent for a moment.

"What's going on? It's fine, what do you suddenly see me doing?"

Fang Weihan felt a little numb when the three of them looked at him.

Xie Lingwan sighed and said quietly: "Husband, please give Wen Yuchen a reed wreath later."

Fang Weihan: "?"

He said in disbelief: "Why should I give senior sister a wreath of reeds? Senior sister and I are innocent..."

"Give."

Xie Lingwan's words were concise and to the point.

Fang Weihan: "..."

He looked at the expressions of the remaining two girls again.

Tao Yunjiang hesitated to speak, and looked at Fang Weihan with slightly worried eyes, as if he had already acquiesced to this matter. Xiao Jin snorted slightly and curled his lips.

No, why do you all agree that I have something to do with my senior sister?

Fang Weihan now feels like crying but has no tears.

"Listen to me, I really have nothing to do with senior sister."

He tried to explain again.

Xie Lingwan asked: "What is the relationship between my husband and Xiao Jin?"

"Yes..." Fang Weihan was stuck.

It seems as if...the last step was not done, and there is no status. What's that? A relationship of mutual liking?
"It's because I like Xiaojin."

That was all he had to say.

"Does your husband like senior sister?"

"This……"

Fang Weihan was still hesitating, but Xiao Jin's anger that had finally been suppressed burst out again.

"Xie Lingwan, use me as an example again! Are you..."

The discussion about Wen Zhexue was temporarily put on hold, and Fang Weihan turned his attention to easing the relationship between Xie Lingwan and Xiao Jin.

Half a day passed in a hurry, and the ship docked at Xiangyang City.

Fang Weihan found Wen Zhexue on the wide deck. The girl was standing in the sun holding the phoenix, her eyes were light, and the divine sword was shining brightly behind her shoulder.
