It's warm and comfortable in May. But Wu Kuo was as if he had been roasted in the fire. He was sweating all over.

Wu Kuo had taken refuge with Yuxi long ago. Before Jiangnan came down, he smuggled salt, tea, horses and other scarce goods. With Yuxi and Yunqing as the backing, Wu Kuo has made a lot of money in recent years, even though it's 28%. Later, Jiangnan was beaten down by Yunqing, so it was impossible for him to do smuggling business any more. Wu Kuo changed his business to silk, grain and porcelain, and his annual profit was also very considerable. Now Yuxi suddenly talks about the business in Jiangnan, and his words seem to say that he has been greedy for a lot of money. How can he not be nervous.

Kneeling on the ground, Wu Kuo called out: "princess, I can learn from your loyalty to the prince and princess. It must be villains who make trouble and slander me. If the princess doesn't believe it, you can send someone to make a detailed investigation. " Wu Kuo looked as if Yuxi didn't believe that he was going to die.

Yuxi said with a light smile: "Mr. Wu, I'm just talking about it casually. You don't have to take it seriously."

If Yun Qing said this, Wu Kuo would believe it. He didn't believe Yuxi's words. Such a deep-minded person would not mention Jiangnan to him.

When Wu Kuo got up, Yuxi said, "Jinyu came to see me today and said that she would like to be a part of the family. You should know about this, right?"

Wu Kuo bowed and said, "it's a blessing for the princess to have a good eye on the dog. I'm very happy that he can figure it out. "

Yuxi said with a smile: "I have four brothers, ah Hao and ah Rui, who need to recruit a son-in-law? These are all the nonsense of that girl, you don't have to take it seriously. "

Wu Kuo felt a thump in his heart. He couldn't figure out the meaning of Yu Xi's words. He could only harden his head and say, "shiziye is very intelligent. The second young master, they are all dragons and phoenixes in people."

Yuxi laughed and said, "Jinyu is pure and good-natured, and my girl is also indifferent. In this respect, the two children are quite similar."

Wu Kuo said quickly, "my little son is not only looking after flowers and plants, but also Wen Chengwu. He's like a big princess. He's already a thousand families with five grades." Now he is just a doctor of five grades, and he is still in a virtual position. He is not as powerful as zaozao.

Speaking of jujube, Yuxi said a lot: "this child's ambition is to become a female general. He has been working hard for this ambition since he was three years old. Even if you're locked up in the yard these days, your martial arts are still going on day by day. You have to practice for two or three hours a day. " Finish saying, jade Xi also intentionally sighed a way: "it's a pity that she cast the wrong fetus, if the man body certainly can realize her ambition."

Wu Kuo respectfully said: "the princess has such perseverance. I believe that even if she is a daughter, she can realize her dream." If the average woman, there is no way to achieve this ambition. But who can make the princess reincarnate? With such parents as the prince and the princess, it's not too difficult for her to become a female general.

Yuxi looked at Wu Kuo, and his face was still a smile of the signboard style: "it's not easy for a woman to survive. It's even more difficult for her to make contributions, so I hope she can get what she wants."

Wu Kuo said with a positive face: "certainly."

Just at this time, Xu Wu raised his voice outside the living room and said, "princess, the prince has a letter to deliver“

That's the end of the conversation.

Since Yun Qing left Ho City, he usually kept the frequency of a letter every three days. If anything, one letter a day. The contents of the letter include official business, local folk customs and anecdotes. This change is also influenced by Mr. Pang. This time Yunqing mainly talked about the situation of xiaxihai in his letter. At the end of the letter, he said that he would come back in a few days.

After reading the letter, Yuxi said with a smile: "I came back just in time." Date engagement is also a big event. It's a pity if Yunqing is not here.

When Wu Kuo got home, he immediately called his staff to discuss the meaning of what Yuxi said to him.

Zhang said: "master, the meaning of the princess is very obvious. She can marry the princess to the second young master, but she wants the Wu family to give support in money."

After a pause, Zhang said: "Sir, after years of war, I heard that the official Treasury and private Treasury are empty, and millions of troops are supported by several silver mines. Master, if you want to welcome the princess, I'm afraid it will be bleeding. " If you want to marry the princess, you have to hand in more than half of the money.

Without Zhang's help, Wu Kuo could think of this: "the princess told me that the ambition of the princess is to become a female general, and she has been working hard for this. Why do you think she said these words to me?" In fact, Wu Kuo had an idea in his mind, but he was not sure.

Zhang thought for a moment and said, "the princess married the second young master. If she really became a female general, she would have a title in the future." When the princess marries Er Shao, her future title will naturally pass on to her children, and finally to the Wu family.

At this point, Zhang's aide looked at Wu Kuo and did not say that the princess was drawing a cake for the master.

Wu Kuo frowned and said, "the sword has no eyes on the battlefield..." in case the princess makes a mistake on the battlefield, he will hand over all his family, and then it will be nothing. But now the problem is that since the princess has revealed this meaning, she will not give him any room to refuse.

Zhang said: "don't worry too much about this. The princess is the daughter of the prince and the princess. She won't rush into battle. She should not be in danger of her life." This is just a common sense. In fact, things on the battlefield are changing so fast that no one can guarantee them.

Wu Kuo gave a wry smile and let staff Zhang go down. He stayed in the room for most of the day. He is not thinking about whether to answer Yuxi's request, but trying to make sense of himself.

In the afternoon, Wu Kuo went back to the backyard to find Fang and said, "the princess means to let the princess marry Jin Yu."

Fang's heart has been hanging since Wu Kuo went out. When Wu Kuo comes back, she doesn't come back in the front yard, which makes her more and more uneasy. She would hear the news with a smile on her face, but soon realized that she was wrong: "why did the princess change her mind? Is there any reason? "

Wu Kuo looked at Fang's family and said in a low voice: "the condition for the princess to marry down is the family background of Wu family." What Yuxi wanted was not Wu's business, but Wu Kuo's family. As for how much money Wu Kuo had in his hand, Yuxi had a rough idea.

Fang said in surprise, "what do you want from the Wu family? When we split up, Wu Qian took away all the property, so we got the shops, but we didn't get much money. The money we have made in recent years has been put into the private bank of the princess. How much money have we saved

After saying this, Fang's heart suddenly, although she does not deal with Yuxi many times, she also knows that Yuxi is definitely not the person with shallow eyelids. If only a million and eight hundred thousand taels of silver is not worth her opening this mouth. Thinking of this, Fang's face turned white: "master, are you hiding something from me?"

Wu Kuo's eyes were very complicated. After a long time, he said, "when my father was alive, he would save a sum of money every year." Wu Meng was a man with a sense of hardship. In those years, he saved money mainly for fear that his descendants would be defeated, so he wanted to keep a sum of money. In this way, if his offspring reappeared, he would have capital if he had the ability to make a comeback.

In the beginning, Wu Meng saved thirty or fifty thousand yuan. Later, Wu's family monopolized a lot of profitable industries. The annual import and export loans were tens of millions, leaving three or five hundred thousand yuan for nothing. But Wu Meng has been the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River for more than 20 years, which is a huge sum of money that even Yuxi knows.

Fang's whole people are silly, asked: "master, before the rumors are true?" At the beginning, there was a rumor that Wu Meng had collected a large sum of money, but with Wu Meng's sudden death and Wu Qian's seizure of his family property, and then Wu Kuo was far away from the south of the Yangtze River, the rumor of this huge sum of money ended.

Wu Kuo nodded and said, "it's true. Dad told me about this because he was afraid of an accident after he knew that his second brother was under the control of Yu's family. " After a pause, Wu Kuo said: "although Wu Qian has seized the family property, his father found out that it was wrong and transferred most of the funds. Wu Qian didn't get much money." Only he and a few loyal servants knew where the money was kept.

Fang's lips wriggled several times before he asked in a very subtle voice, "how much silver is there?" There was a slight tremor in the voice.

Wu Kuo looked at Fang and said, "nearly ten million."

Hearing this figure, Rao was used to wealth, and Fang couldn't help taking a breath. Tens of millions of silver, no wonder the princess will be moved.

After a long time, Fang said: "how does the princess know such a secret thing? Is she deceiving you? " As Wu Kuo's pillow, she didn't know. No matter how powerful the princess was, she couldn't find out about it. If you give up one or two million taels of silver, you will give up. But if you give up nearly ten million taels of silver, Fang's heart aches when he thinks about it.

Fang didn't think about it. If it was only one or two million, it would be worth Yuxi's opening.

Wu Kuo said: "the princess said that the ambition of the princess is to become a female general. This is equivalent to saying that when she and the king of Ming win the world, the princess will get a title. The eldest princess married to the Wu family, and the title will be the Wu family's after that. "

Fang shook his head and said, "that's what I said, but it will be more than ten years later. No one can guarantee the future unless the princess can give us a guarantee."

Wu Kuo felt that Fang would be confused: "guarantee? How could the princess guarantee such a thing? " If can give assurance, also won't say so implicit.

Fang heard this, as if a basin of ice water poured down, let her immediately calm down: "so, there is no room for turning?"

Wu Kuo said: "since the princess has spoken, there is no room to turn around." With that, Wu Kuo looked at Fang and said, "it's also a big gamble. If you win the gamble, you can become a powerful family." As for losing the bet, his father's hard work was in vain.

Thinking that the mountain like silver just slipped away from her hands, Fang's heart ached.

Wu Kuo told Fang's story with his intention: "the grand princess is the hope of Wu's family to change their family. You should tell Jin Yu how good the grand princess is. Let them get along with each other and wait for them to get married and have children as soon as possible." As long as a child is born, even if the princess has a chance on the battlefield, the king and Princess of Ming will not treat the child lightly.

Fang's low voice way: "I know."

Wu Kuo thought for a moment and said, "when the gold and jade are married, I will give him his share of the property as a property shop and cash. As for the business at home, it will be left to Jinbo in the future. "

Fang's this meeting where still dare to have objection, nodded to agree: "good." If she hadn't stopped Jinyu from getting involved, maybe it would not have happened now.

This is also Fang's own guilty, in fact, Wu Kuo did not blame her. Because he was very clear that since Yuxi knew the existence of this huge sum of money, he could not let it go. Now it's a compensation for the Wu family to marry the princess.

To say that Wu Kuo really thinks too much, it's also because jujube and Wu Jinyu love each other, so Yuxi will let jujube marry Wu family. Otherwise, no matter how much money she has, she will not marry her daughter.

Wu Kuo is also a man of courage, otherwise he would not have taken refuge with Yunqing and Yuxi when they were in a weak situation. Now that he has made up his mind, he does not delay. After a day's consideration, he gives Yuxi a reply.

Yuxi was very satisfied with Wu Kuo's understanding of the current affairs: "it's not urgent. I'll make a decision when the Lord comes back."

After seeing off Wu Kuo, Yu Xi wrote a letter to Yu Zhi and said, "give this letter to elder brother in person." This huge sum of money is of great importance and must not go wrong.

Yu Zhi didn't say much, just nodded: "OK."

Rao is Yuxi, who has been practicing until Mount Tai collapsed. He is in a good mood after getting such a sum of money. He has been smiling all day.

"Why is the princess so happy?" she asked with a smile It's rare to see Yuxi so happy.

As long as it's not a secret, Yuxi won't hide it from Mammy Quan: "the military expenditure of attacking the northern captivity has been settled." She has been fighting all these years. If she hadn't spared no effort to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and the spoils of Yunqing's war to fill the vacancy, she would have been overwhelmed. Rao is so. Now there are only mice left in the official Treasury and private Treasury.

Mammy Quan had a good sense of propriety. She didn't ask where the money came from or the specific figures. She just said with a smile: "it turned out that she was rich. No wonder she was so happy."

Yuxi also did not hide his joy, said: "attack the northern captivity has always been the wish of the king, early solved the northern captivity also the king's mind." In order to raise military expenditure, she has racked her brains all these years. With the money, she can relax for a while.

"There must be no problem," she said with a smile It's well known that Yunqing has a fierce war. As long as the army's pay and grain are ready, and then Yunqing leads the army himself, no matter how strong the northern captivity is, it can be won. It has to be said that the reputation of Yunqing's ever victorious general has been completely established.
