Chapter 214 It’s okay to marry you
"A person, are you sure she is a person?"

Wei Xiaozhi asked Han Teng to accompany him, naturally to see if there was anyone around Shen Ru.

"Why was she sent to Liangzhou? Even if she is really a prisoner and sent to Liangzhou, why would she send this salt there? The one who started the uprising is Southwest!"

Wei Xiaozhi believed that those who could use so much salt were rebels, and as he had checked, the Shen family was confiscated and exiled because of their relationship with the rebellious Prince Jing's Mansion.

"Sir, if something happens anyway, we will leave. Now that we are still in office, it is up to you to decide whether the salt mine is sold or not."

A close aide reminded, "Our Ganzhou is not as close to the border as Liangzhou. Although Liangzhou is barren, once the border is cleared, the Western Region cavalry will be able to conquer Liangzhou. We have to suspect that the rebels want the imperial court to be attacked from both sides!"

Wei Xiaozhi felt the same and then shuddered.

"Sell, just sell, if you give me money, sell!"

"At that time, according to what she said, our troops will be sent over and the officials will transport them. Even if they are interrogated, they will just say they are Liangzhou supplies!"

Thinking of Shen Ru's generosity, Wei Xiaozhi was very excited. He immediately sent people to the mine to sort it out, and he paid as much as he could!
Xiao Wujin and Luneng also entered Ganzhou Mansion, but did not choose Shen Ruzai's inn.

According to the agreement, the two of them would meet in a private room of a restaurant in the city on the next day.

Xiao Wujin kept a low profile when he stayed at the inn. After entering the guest room, he stopped showing his face and let Luneng do all the errands.

The next day, Shen Ru went to the private room in the Que Tower and saw Xiao Wujin drinking medicine, and her eyes widened.

"What happened? How did you drink the medicine?"

"I haven't finished drinking the medicine before. Luneng hired a doctor to see me early in the morning and prescribe medicine. I've drank all the medicine. When will it end?"

Xiao Wujin also looked helpless, "Actually, I feel refreshed and my chest is no longer depressed."

"The doctor will never lie to you. Let me tell you, Wei Xiaozhi really fell in the eyes of money. However, it is also caused by the injustice in the world. I feel that he wants to run away at any time."

Shen Ru sat down next to Xiao Wujin and explained the deal with Wei Xiaozhi.

"One hundred thousand catties, Aru, your hand is too big!"

Xiao Wujin was shocked, this was beyond his expectation.

"Wouldn't it be better to make less trips? Didn't I say that the world is not peaceful? If the rebels attack the northwest, Wei Xiaozhi will definitely run away with the gold and silver. Then I don't know who will take over the salt mine."

"Then let his people transport..."

Xiao Wujin was surprised by Shen's move. It was not what the Liangzhou government needed, so Wei Xiaozhi could agree?

"He agreed! Just arrange for someone to contact you outside the city in advance."

Shen Ru said: "For example, people from the Yan family!"

Xiao Wujin didn't want her to get involved in this illegal salt sale. It just so happened that she was escorted by Ganzhou officials and taken over by the Yan family's caravan in Liangzhou, so she could get away completely.

"For one hundred thousand kilograms of coarse salt, Yan Shaoqing will definitely ask me where I got the money."

Xiao Wujin couldn't help but said: "Then, he will ask me to pay back the money."

"Um... let me ask you, Xiao Wujin, how much do you owe Yan Shaoqing?"

Xiao Wujin looked at Shen Ru and smiled slightly, but did not speak directly.

"This is Yan Shaoqing's long-term investment in Liangzhou. Although the debtor is me, Liangzhou will repay it together in the future."

"In addition, some special exceptions were made for the Yan family's caravan. For example, the Yan family is allowed to trade with foreign countries. As long as it is not done openly, the government will turn a blind eye. These are all included."

"In that case, what are you afraid of?"

Shen Ru asked back, "It's hard for him to ask you to pay back the money!"

"Except for those, there are still 1 taels of silver that should be repaid. Well, this is real money that needs to be repaid." Shen Ru was stunned. With so much, Xiao Wujin was not only poor but also owed 1 taels.

"Xiao Wujin, you..."

Shen Ru was a little speechless, "But after refining this batch of coarse salt into fine salt, I can return it after selling it."

"No, if the food and grass at the border are not available, how can the soldiers guard the border? You also said that the integration of grassland tribes is very likely to launch an attack on Liangzhou."

Shen Ru understood what Xiao Wujin meant. She sighed and said, "You want to use the money you get from selling the fine salt to buy grain and grass!"

"As for me, I paid for all this coarse salt."

"Well, you still have to pay back the capital you spent. The Yan family sells it to various places, and they still need to pay dividends."

Xiao Wujin said calmly, without any worry at all!
"You..." Shen Ru calculated in her mind, this is really an unsettled account!
"Are you paying for the wages of many people in your house?"

"Didn't you say that the imperial salary has not arrived this year? I think it is very likely that it will not be delivered for a long time in the future!"

"You are right. I don't know when the digging of the river will end. It is also what you said before. The people's villages along the river will be relocated...Aru, will you still build the house there?"

When she got into trouble, Shen Ru rolled his eyes and looked at Xiao Wujin with resentment.

"Xiao Wujin, honestly speaking, are you after my money or my people?"

"You still want to get both people and money!"

"Ha~" Xiao Wujin laughed loudly, and after laughing, he looked at Shen Ru seriously.

"Aru, I have revealed everything to you. If you want to go back on your word now, I can't blame you!"

Sure enough, there is no free money in this world. The four boxes of gold and silver jewelry she brought out from the castle could probably fill all Xiao Wujin's holes, but... she didn't want it!

"I got on your pirate ship, so I had no choice but to go on. Since the Yan family has received so many conveniences from the government, I want it too."

Shen Ru thought for a moment and said, "My small pasture will become bigger in the future. I raise cattle and sheep for milk."

"The business of stone candles and oil lamps will continue, and I will also grow cotton. Mr. Xiao, you also understand the convenience that should be given."

"After all, renovating the old city is like a bottomless pit. No amount of money is enough."

"Well, I know everything about you and will make it convenient for you when the time comes."

Xiao Wujin felt very warm in his heart when he heard that Shen Ru's attitude was still the same as before, and she did not flinch at all because of her debt.

"You also said you wanted to marry me, Xiao Wujin, but actually... you really might as well marry into my Shen family!"

Shen Ru joked: "You have to buy another mansion. If you are no longer the governor, where will you live?"

"If you become my Shen family's adopted son-in-law, you don't have to think so much."

"Aru, if this is really necessary for you and me to get married, then... let's get married!"

Xiao Wujin smiled, if Shen Ru was spending all his family wealth to benefit Liangzhou for him, why should he care whether he married into his wife or not?

"You..." Shen Ru was speechless.

"Xiao Wujin, you are so unprincipled!"

"Because it's you, Aru!"

Xiao Wujin looked at Shen Ru, he was so virtuous and capable that Shen Ru fell in love with him! ——
