Xiao Yi came closer, looked into Qin Hongxue's eyes, and said softly: "I see ambition in your eyes."
Qin Hongxue hurriedly lowered her head slightly, her cheeks also blushing a little.
She saw dominance and aggression in Xiao Yi's eyes.
Qin Hongxue also knew how fragrant her appearance was, but for the sake of sharing Fuwei, she had no choice but to stand up.
Xiao Yi admired the elegant Peony's shy appearance and continued: "It's a good thing to have ambitions. If you didn't have ambitions, I might not give you Jing Furong of the Xue family."
Xiao Yi turned around and walked to the front seat and sat down, motioning for Qin Hongxue to sit down, and continued: "I remember that the Xue family has two salt mines, and together with the water transportation between you and Fuwei, the cost of salt transportation should be lower, right? "
"Here is a method for refining refined salt. It is not that difficult. It is a method that can be produced in large quantities, allowing you to get more refined salt and white salt. If you do it well, the refined salt will be as crystal clear as white snow. It is completely possible. Sell it at a very high price and soon surpass other salt merchants.”
"With this method of refining refined salt and the Xue family's two salt mines, you can earn more quickly."
"In this way, you will have enough money to build a reservoir on Shaanxi Road and pay wages to the victims."
"How about it, are there a lot of benefits to working with Gu?"
"You are the first merchant to come to seek refuge with me. Don't worry, I will never treat you badly."
Qin Hongxue really didn't expect her trip. She thought she was risking her fortune and life, and she was ready to either be kicked out by His Highness the Crown Prince or swallowed whole by His Highness the Crown Prince.
But she didn't expect that His Highness the Crown Prince would actually let her go to the next level.
Allowing her caravan to trade with foreign countries can already bring huge benefits, and now she also provides a method for refining refined salt.
If it is true as His Highness the Crown Prince said, then she can indeed become the first-class salt merchant in Daqian, and she can soon make Tong Fuwei and Jing Furong the first-class salt merchants in Daqian.
The key is, these are very profitable!
Suppressing the excitement and excitement in her heart, Qin Hongxue bowed down respectfully and said: "Daughter of the people, I will obey the prince's order."
Xiao Yi looked at the graceful Qin Hongxue and said with a smile: "Gu has given you so many preferential treatment, so that you can become the number one merchant in Daqian and make a lot of money. How do you plan to repay Gu?"
When Qin Hongxue heard this, her cheeks suddenly turned red with embarrassment, her face was complicated, her head was lowered, her mouth was pursed, and she said nothing.
How to repay?
It's not like she didn't see His Highness the Crown Prince's fiery eyes, the meaning was self-evident.
In fact, it was not that she had never thought that by serving in the East Palace like a plum blossom and becoming the pillow of His Highness the Crown Prince, she would definitely gain more benefits.
However, both worldly morality and her own fate made her give up this idea.
When Qin Hongxue was eighteen years old, she was promised to a young man from the Wei family in Luoyang, the eastern capital.
The Wei family in Luoyang can be regarded as a family that has been handed down from generation to generation. It has produced a minister, two ministers, and many Jinshi.
As a merchant family, it was naturally impossible for Qin Hongxue to marry into the Wei family, so in the end she just married a side branch.
However, on the wedding day, her husband had an accident and died.
The Wei family took advantage of her dowry and kicked her out.
Qin Hongxue also felt unhappy at the time. On the day of the wedding, the eldest son of the Wei family took Dali pills for fun and ended up dead. What did it have to do with her?
Just when she was about to commit suicide, her brother found her and saved her.
The Qin family is a family of merchants, but its family tradition is very upright.
The Wei family has a great cause, but it is just a side branch. It is not something that the Qin family, a merchant family, can face head-on. They can only suffer a dumb loss.
After returning to the Qin family, Qin Hongxue slowly showed off her intelligence and talents, concentrated on business, and led the Qin family to establish 'Tongfuwei', one of the five major business houses in the capital.
It can be said that Qin Hongxue's heart was already dead at that time, and she no longer had the love between her children. All she could do was to strengthen the Qin family, show off her intelligence and make the Wei family regret it!
Xiao Yi looked at Qin Hongxue, who was slightly humiliated, and said with a smile: "Do you think Gu wants you..." The reward Gu said is to make you pay money and open the door for you so that you can communicate with Fanbang. You can do business and become the number one salt merchant, which is a business that can make a lot of money."
"As the crown prince of Daqian, how can I do anything to benefit the people?"
"But if the merchants are separated, how can the fruits from the south reach the north? How can the salt from the salt mines reach the hands of the people?"
"Since ancient times, it is good for merchants to forget their loyalty when they see profits, but I believe you will not do it."
Qin Hongxue quickly bowed and cupped her hands and said firmly: "Your Highness, although a common girl is a prostitute and a businessman, she also understands what it means to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and what it means to lose the skin and keep the hair."
"Your Highness, please rest assured that the daughter of the people is willing to give up six cents of profit to replenish the national treasury."
Xiao Yi pretended to be generous and said: "There is no need for six cents of profit. I am indeed short of money, but if I leave this money with you, I can help me do some things in the future."
"You only need to hand over four points to benefit the East Palace."
Qin Hongxue breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't know whether it was because Xiao Yi didn't make a very embarrassing and humiliating request for her, or because he didn't force her to take advantage of her.
"Here."
Xiao Yi waved his hand and said, "Well, I will accept the gift you gave me first."
"I will give you the method of refining refined salt."
"This is the Xue family business. I hope you can run it well. I hope that the construction of the reservoir in Jingbian County will start soon."
Qin Hongxue stepped forward, took the business name, bowed and said, "Here."
"The daughter of the people resigns."
Xiao Yi nodded.
When she walked out of the East Palace, Qin Hongxue took a deep breath.
After looking at the business name in my hand, I saw that the trip was worthwhile.
This time I bet on the right thing again.
Businessmen often face decisions and need to gamble.
Win and make a fortune.
If you lose, you may lose everything.
Just like the three families of King Jia and Xue, now only the Wang family is left.
Not long after Qin Hongxue left.
Eunuch Huaiji walked into Xi Zheng Hall with many files in his arms, bowed and said: "Your Highness, all the files of Prince Yong'an are here."
Xiao Yi waved, and Eunuch Huaiji placed the file on the table.
It records the process from Yueshan's joining the army to his title of Prince of Yong'an. It also contains some records about Yue Shan's daughter Yue Hongling.
In the year of Yuanfeng, the emperor saw that the daughter of the county prince was extraordinary in appearance and born with supernatural powers. He sighed and said, if she were a man, there should be another military god in Daqian.
The daughter-in-law replied that although Yue is a woman, she is not weaker than a man. She is a woman and is not inferior to a man. Since Daqian has a male military god, he should also have a female military god.
The enemy cannot even defeat a woman, so he should be ashamed and draw his sword to kill himself.
When the emperor heard about it, he laughed and gave his daughter-in-law the title of princess.
When Xiao Yi saw these contents, he immediately smiled and became more interested in the daughter of the military god.
Although the fierce horse is difficult to tame, its taste will definitely leave people with endless aftertaste.
