The annual financial income of the Great Xia Dynasty was only one to twenty million silver.
No wonder that in the last years of the dynasty, the government's finances were tight and the people were in dire straits.
Most of the co-author's wealth has been swallowed up by the powerful!
Such a large sum of money is of no use staying in the palace. It must be spent as soon as possible to develop the fiefdom.
It can be regarded as taking it from the people and using it for the people.
Ji Lie secretly thought, so he sent Laifu to Zui Qingfeng and invited Yang Dehou to the palace.
"I've met the prince."
"Don't be too polite, Mr. Yang."
Ji Lie chuckled,
"I have invited you here today because I have something to ask you to do."
"My lord, that's what I said, I should do my best to complete it."
Yang Dehou said respectfully.
"There are five hundred thousand taels of silver here. You can find a way to use all this money to purchase land."
Yang Dehou was immediately shocked by such a huge amount.
Where did the prince get so much money?
Seeing his surprised look, Ji Lie chuckled, then gathered a group of nobles and merchants behind him and slowly told him.
"I see, the prince's methods are really clever!"
Yang Dehou couldn't help but sigh.
He has been in business for so many years, and the money he has saved is only one hundred thousand taels!
But Ji Lie got more than one million taels of silver in less than two months!
Such talent really makes Yang Dehou ashamed.
"There are other uses for purchasing land alone. You have to be careful and don't alert others."
Ji Lie warned.
"The villain remembers it."
Yang Dehou felt a chill in his heart and nodded in agreement.
"Oh, by the way, apart from that, Gu also needs your help to find someone."
"what kind of person?"
"Whether it's a carpenter or a blacksmith, as long as you are a craftsman who is proficient in your craft, you can find them all for me."
Ji Lie ordered.
Because the Great Xia Dynasty had too strict regulations on armor, Zhang Changde only purchased three or four pairs of armors after such a long time.
In terms of quality, it cannot be compared with the fine armor of the palace guards.
Ever since, Ji Lie had the idea of finding a blacksmith and making armor privately.
"This matter is not difficult. I have been looking for you in the past few days for the prince."
Yang Dehou made a living as a broker, including selling slaves.
This matter was not difficult for him, so he agreed immediately.
After the two chatted for a while, Yang Dehou stood up and left.
Ji Lie stretched, stood up and walked towards the backyard.
As soon as he went out, he saw Xiu'er standing under the eaves, looking at him with a look of resentment.
"What's wrong with Xiu'er?"
Ji Lie smiled and stepped forward to greet her, playing with her weak and boneless hands.
"Could it be that His Highness dislikes Xiu'er?"
Xiu'er's eyes were covered with moisture, and she looked like she might cry at any time.
"Looking at what you said, why would I dislike you?"
Ji Lie took her into his arms and said softly.
"His Highness is unwilling to take Xiu'er in, even if he goes... to Yihongyuan and other places."
"Just having a tryst with the brothel girls and writing them such gorgeous and beautiful poems, even Xiu'er has never been treated like that..."
Although Xiu'er didn't say it clearly, her face showed the expression that the baby was wronged but the baby wouldn't say anything.
have to.
The little girl's jealousy was overturned again.
Just this matter, how did she know?
Ji Lie thought for a moment and figured it out.
"Did Laifu tell you?"
Xiu'er didn't say a word. Judging from her posture, she seemed to acquiesce.
Okay, Laifu, wait for me!
Ji Lie thought to himself.
At this moment, Laifu, who was directing other people to work in the house, suddenly felt a chill on his back and sneezed subconsciously.
"Compared with Xiu'er, other women are all rouge fans."
"No one can replace your position in the lonely heart."
As a veteran in love affairs in later generations, Ji Lie spoke all kinds of love words.
After a few words, Xiuer burst into laughter.
Seeing this situation, Ji Lie also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile,
"Oh, by the way, Gu also specially prepared a gift for Xiu'er."
"Oh? What kind of gift is it?"
Xiu'er said with great expectation.
"You come with me alone."
Ji Lie led Xiu'er towards the backyard.
Not long ago, Ji Lie specially set aside a side courtyard behind the palace as a place for him to make inventions.
After the two pushed the door open, they saw various utensils placed on the table.
Ji Lie picked up a small jade bottle and handed it to Xiu'er with a smile.
"This is the gift I prepared for Xiu'er."
Xiu'er took the small jade bottle and opened the cap curiously.
A strong fragrance suddenly spread out.
It tastes like a kiss from rose petals, with a hint of floral fragrance and love, warm and charming!
"This...what is this?"
Xiu'er was surprised and happy, and couldn't help but look up at Ji Lie.
"This thing was developed with so much painstaking effort, and it's called rose perfume."
While explaining to Xiu'er, Ji Lie poured out a little rose perfume and applied it on Xiu'er's wrists, behind her ears, and neck.
After a while, Xiu'er's delicate body was exuding the charming fragrance of roses, as if she was in a rose garden!
"Thousands of miles west of Bactria, people there believe that roses represent passionate true love."
"That's why I specially developed rose perfume to give to you, Xiu'er."
No modern woman can resist the offensive of roses, let alone ancient society.
After Ji Lie's passionate confession, Xiu'er's heart almost jumped out of her chest.
"With His Highness's words, I am willing... even to die!"
After she finished speaking, she could no longer suppress her excitement and took the initiative to throw herself into Ji Lie's arms.
"Your Highness, will you accept Xiu'er tonight?"
Xiu'er looked at Ji Lie's beautiful eyes, which seemed to be drawn.
If possible, Ji Lie would of course be willing!
But after looking at Xiu'er's tender body, he sighed,
"How about waiting until after your birthday next year?"
"My slave, please listen to Your Highness."
Although she was a little disappointed, Xiuer nodded obediently.
"Okay, I will continue to be busy with research, Xiu'er, please step back first."
Ji Lie smiled.
"Slave, I obey."
Xiu'er carefully put away the rose perfume Ji Lie gave her, bowed to Ji Lie, and then left.
It seems that the perfume I made is very successful.
Ji Lie felt slightly proud and looked to the other side, where various flowers were piled up like a hill.
Now that rose perfume has been successfully developed, it is time to develop more varieties.
Ji Lie picked up a few chrysanthemums, put them into a distillation vessel, and began to work.
Time passed quickly, and after Ji Lie prepared several more perfumes, the sky was already darkening.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, followed by Laifu's voice.
"Your Highness, all the guests have arrived!"
