To strengthen a country, we must first enrich its people.
This is what Bai Bugui's father said, and it is also the policy implemented by Bai Bugui at this time.
He knew that a strong country must be built with the help of people all over the world.
Water can carry a boat.
Without water, no matter how big a boat is, it can't sail.
No matter how much land and property we have, they are nothing but fish and meat to be slaughtered.
Therefore, development is needed, and a lot of silver is needed to invest in the military to build an extremely powerful army that can sweep across all directions.
Just like the black-armored guards.
If there were 100,000 Black Armored Guards, Bai Buhui would have already started taking action.
Anyone who refuses to accept will be beaten first.
But it is not easy to shake the foundation of wealthy businessmen who want to shake those nobles.
A troublemaker must be let out.
At this time, Jiang Chen was planning the salt mine business.
In fact, no matter what conditions he puts forward, Bai Buhui will agree.
"Can the debt between us be written off in one go?"
Bai Buhui looked at the playful and smiling Jiang Chen in front of him, feeling a little at a loss.
He seriously doubted whether this kid's brain was broken.
He is the emperor, he is omnipotent, can he not think about that thing all the time and show his courage just now?
"That's it?"
"What, you want to give me more?"
Jiang Chen knew it very well.
As long as he didn't ask for the throne, Bai Buhui could agree to any condition.
After all, now Bai Buhui's words are like the boss's pie, and you never know when the promises will come true.
When the pie fell, I was already starving.
It would be better to solve the current problem more practically.
"Give?"
"When did I say I would give it to you?" Bai Buhui immediately noticed Jiang Chen's words.
What started as borrowing turned into giving.
"We just agreed, and I won't treat you badly. These 80,000 taels of gold are considered as the start-up capital for our business, and you won't lose anything."
Jiang Chen put his arms around Bai Buhui's shoulders, and they were as affectionate as brothers.
In fact, he had no idea.
But when he saw Bai Bugui's clear eyes, he knew that the matter was settled.
There was a burst of ecstasy in my heart, and I finally realized the joy of using public money to do my own things.
No wonder so many people like to be officials.
I really thought they liked serving the people.
"So, deal?"
"now it's right."
Although Bai Bugui has ten levels of scheming, he doesn't seem to be very sensitive to money, and he doesn't know anything about business.
If Jiang Chen's rhetoric were put in front of Chu Jiang'er, he would definitely be despised for the rest of his life.
Little did they know what a catastrophe today's events would cause.
When I left Bai Buhui's palace, it was already child's time.
Jiang Chen did not return to the previously arranged courtyard, but visited Concubine Li's palace.
Before sending the person to the Northern Xia mission, he wanted to find out for himself why a killer of such a high level as Lu Yuan targeted a maid in the palace.
The dark night enveloped the earth, and there was silence all around. A gentle breeze passed by, and a few dark clouds blocked the moonlight.
Jiang Chen dodged a few times and blended into the night.
The assassination skills acquired from Yang Li only now revealed their true strength.
There are not many guards in the concubine's palace, most of them are slaves and maids.
Even late at night, they kept walking through the courtyard, wondering what they were busy with.
The light is on in the east wing.
Jiang Chen quietly touched the roof and lifted up a tile in the corner. Suddenly, a strong sour smell of herbs hit his nose.
"Aiya, I go!"
"I'm up late at night boiling medicine. There are so many people. Can Concubine Li drink it alone?"
The side room is not big, but it is densely packed with utensils for decoction.
There are three or five slaves waiting in front of each utensil. Their expressions are dull and there is no expression.
Jiang Chen carefully sniffed the smell of medicine floating up along the gap.
Although it is very weak, as Han Lu's apprentice and often dealing with medicinal materials, he can still judge the type of medicinal materials by the taste of the medicinal herbs.
"Nux vomica gives birth to Nanxing, Sichuan Wu, and Cao Wu..."
As he muttered, his face gradually became ugly.
What kind of diseases can these medicinal materials be used for?
Even if it is suicide, it is enough to die many times.
You must know that some of the medicinal materials are also very powerful poisons.
No wonder all the slaves in the room looked dull.
If you stay in a place like this for a long time, it would be a miracle if you don't die.
Jiang Chen was curious about what this Concubine Li was capable of, being able to obtain so many poisons that the palace guards didn't even check her.
These things about her are enough to turn the entire harem and even the palace into a dead place.
"No, this is not poison, but... abortion pill?"
Jiang Chen suddenly reacted.
The status of women in ancient times was relatively low, and the requirements for them were extremely strict. Pregnancy before marriage was almost unnatural, but accidents would always happen.
Thus was born the abortifacient, a patchwork of poisons.
With such powerful medicinal properties, not to mention an ordinary mortal body, even a pregnant Nezha would be aborted.
It can be said to be an extremely unfriendly drug.
The woman from Fengyue Tower had tried some tricks with Jiang Chen before, but it took a long time for her to recover.
Just as he was reacting, a new batch of medicine had been brewed successfully.
The slave waiting by the side let it cool down in cold water, and then poured it into the huge wooden barrel beside him.
The clear water in the barrel suddenly turned into a yellow-green liquid.
It was scooped out by the maids outside and poured into the well in the courtyard, and so on.
"No wonder Bai San's efforts have no effect. If this continues, everyone will die."
Jiang Chen cursed while planning to destroy this place himself.
He was not sure how much potency the medicine would have after being diluted with water, but it would not work if it continued for such a long time.
Besides, Bai Zhi’s Haitang Garden is not far from here!
Just when he made up his mind to take action.
A familiar breath approached from far away, and finally stopped not far in front of him, and spoke quietly.
"Come with me."
It was the person who fought with him in the back street of Zhongertang.
Although Jiang Chen is not afraid of him and the last time was purely an accident, taking action here is obviously not a wise decision.
Stop by a lake not far from Li Fei Palace.
The man spoke first: "I know what you want to do, but you can't do this."
"Why?"
He did not answer Jiang Chen's question, but continued to talk to himself.
"I will help you do what your Majesty has asked you to do, but your Majesty has to resolve this matter yourself."
"Are you saying that Bai Buhui knows?"
The man nodded calmly.
Damn it, he knew and still let this crazy woman do this?
Still asking me to help him?
It's because he's not clear-headed, or he's just playing tricks on me!
"The waterway in Concubine Li's courtyard has been completely cut off, so all the things she did were in vain, but it is also true that Your Majesty has no heirs."
Jiang Chen was relieved after hearing this.
No wonder Bai Buhui repeatedly prevented him from entering Concubine Li's palace.
The person living inside is really a resentful woman.
"I don't care about your affairs, but you must never forget what you promised me."
"That palace maid must be brought out, and someone in Concubine Li's palace must die. It's up to you."
"I don't want to serve you anymore."
After saying that, Jiang Chen cursed and left.
Damn, what is this?
There is not a single decent person in the entire palace.
