Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

Chapter 534: No Longer Hidden, Thoughts Revealed

"Do you know what kind of life the people of Daxia are living now?" Marquis Wuyang questioned those who advocated war.

"Marquis Wuyang, the people are not as miserable as you said. When the war is over, how can the emperor not develop domestic affairs? If, as you advocate, we develop domestic affairs first, and concentrate a lot of energy, manpower, material resources and financial resources on farming, and grow full warehouses of grain, then if the Hu bandits come to invade us again at that time, we can just let them come and grab the ready-made grain!" Prime Minister Qin retorted in a sonorous and powerful voice.

"This matter cannot be decided in a day or two. Whether you are in favor of war or not, it is all for the country and people of Daxia." The emperor came out to mediate appropriately.

After all, the treasury is empty.

Supplies also need to be stockpiled.

As for the person to prepare the supplies, the emperor decided to appoint Marquis Wuyang.

Now, Marquis Wuyang is very firmly opposed, but he will eventually agree.

After the court session, Marquis Wuyang walked towards the palace gate with a sad face.

Rong Yuchuan caught up with him.

"Master Hou."

When Marquis Wuyang turned around and saw that it was Rong Yuchuan, his expression eased a little.

"Lord Rong didn't say a word in the court today. I wonder what he was thinking?" Marquis Wuyang asked directly.

"My thoughts are not important, what matters is the emperor's thoughts."

Marquis Wuyang sighed heavily, "The emperor's attitude is very clear."

"Yes." Rong Yuchuan nodded.

"I know that even if I keep opposing it, it won't have any effect. I can only pray that this war will end as soon as possible."

"This battle shouldn't drag on for too long. The situation in Daxia is difficult, and the situation on the Hu bandits' side is even more difficult."

Marquis Wuyang looked at Rong Yuchuan with curiosity, "Does Lord Rong have any inside information?"

"We are still confident of winning this battle."

Marquis Wuyang breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Lord Rong, for your advice."

"I don't deserve your advice. However, I hope you can hold on for a few more days and don't give in yet."

"Okay." Marquis Wuyang agreed.

Rong Yuchuan's words made Marquis Wuyang feel more at ease, and he was no longer as worried as before.

……

Recently, caravans have started to arrive in the imperial capital one after another.

Ji Chuhe had to meet with more than a dozen caravan leaders every day and buy large quantities of goods.

In a short period of time, all the assets she could use were used up.

We also rented several warehouses to store these things.

Chunsheng and Manager Xue also came back and immediately helped Ji Chuhe deal with some trivial matters.

The news soon reached the emperor's ears.

"You said Ji Chuhe's money is almost spent?" The emperor found it unbelievable.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I even went to check the withdrawal records of the silver shop." Chao Sihai responded in a low voice.

"What did she buy?"

"Mostly, they are what her shop needs. I have to say, the Crown Prince's wife is really a genius in business. Especially in such a short period of time, she has cooperated with so many shops in the imperial capital and made huge profits without any investment." Chao Sihai could hardly hide his admiration in his tone.

"Is she only good at business?" the emperor suddenly asked back.

Chao Sihai was stunned for a moment, "Of course she is not only engaged in business, the Crown Prince's wife is also someone who can write six strategies for military service."

"The most extraordinary woman in Daxia."

Chao Sihai suddenly realized that the Emperor's attitude towards the Crown Prince's Wife seemed to have undergone a drastic change!

Before, the Emperor had even wanted to kill the Crown Prince’s wife!

Now it turns out...

He didn't dare to think!

Does the emperor really mean this?

"What she is doing is exchanging money for things and then exchanging things for money. She is transferring money." The emperor's voice rang out again.

"So that's how it is." Chao Sihai looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

If anyone were to do such a thing, it would be a dead end.

However, the emperor was willing to indulge Ji Chuhe.

After all, he would need Ji Chuhe once the war was over.

……

Ji Chuhe returned home and was still calculating on the abacus.

The money has been exchanged for goods, and now some of these goods have to be transferred out.

Now, openly, my mother has three caravans in the imperial capital.

Even if they were allowed to leave the imperial capital with a full load of goods, she wouldn't be able to take away even one tenth of the goods she had stockpiled.

But she had already made plans and had other arrangements.

He went into the inner room and took out a box.

"Madam, what are you looking for?" Xiao Yan'an asked curiously.

"I asked Chunsheng to buy any suitable shop he saw while doing business. There are more than 60 county towns in Daxia, and more than a dozen of them are relatively prosperous. Chunsheng bought several shops in these dozen county towns according to my requirements. I want to confirm how many shops there are in total." Ji Chuhe opened the box, took out the thick stack of land deeds and began to count them.

Xiao Yanan was shocked, "Madam, how come I didn't know anything about this?"

"I bought them all with the money Chunsheng earned from doing business, so I didn't tell you." In fact, to be precise, the money was earned from spices.

The price of spices has always been the same in the imperial capital, and Ji Chuhe also strictly controls the quantity.

But if you take it outside, the price will not be the same.

When I heard that it was the favorite spice of the nobles in the imperial capital, and the spice was indeed very good, the price was raised to ten taels per pill, and it was still in short supply.

The last time Ji Chuhe asked Chunsheng to take away the spices he had brought with him for business, there were a total of two thousand grains.

The money earned from these spices alone is enough to buy these shops.

"Sir, I want to transfer the goods we have in our hands to these shops, spread them out, and see if the business in other county towns is good."

"Madam, there are so many shops. How can you find so many shopkeepers at once?"

"You can rest assured, my lord. I'll leave the matter of the shopkeeper to my mother. Her subordinates will definitely be able to find so many people."

"How could I forget about my mother?"

The princess has been engaged in business for more than 20 years. Before she married Prince Huaiyang, she already had a caravan. How could she not have some people who were qualified to be the shopkeeper?

Since Ji Chuhe already had a plan, he proceeded step by step according to the plan.

After she loaded all the goods onto the truck, she asked Chunsheng and Manager Xue to split up into two groups to deliver the goods to various county towns.

The shopkeeper chosen by the princess also set off.

Each shop in these county towns has a cabinet dedicated to selling spices.

This is Ji Chuhe’s idea.

Spices act as an attractant to draw people in.

With more people coming, it naturally boosts business.

Moreover, these shops have another function.

Used to collect some things they want and make plans for the future.

The information network that Ji Chuhe had always wanted was finally established.

……

Marquis Wuyang no longer insisted on opposing the war, and the decision to go to war with the Hu bandits was finally finalized.
