May days are mild and comfortable. But Wu Kuo was as if he had been roasted in a fire, and his whole body was covered with sweat.

Wu Kuo had taken refuge in Yuxi a long time ago, and before Jiangnan was defeated, he smuggled salt, tea, horses and other scarce materials. With Yuxi and Yunqing as the backing, although it is twenty-eight points, Wu Kuo has also made a lot of money over the years. Later, Jiangnan was beaten down by Yunqing, and it was impossible for him to do smuggling business anymore. Wu Kuo switched to the business of silk and grain, porcelain and other businesses, and the annual profit was also very considerable. Now Yuxi suddenly talked about Jiangnan's business, and his words seemed to say that he was greedy for a lot of money, how could he not make him nervous.

Kneeling on the ground, Wu Kuo shouted injustice: "Princess, the minister's loyalty to the prince and the princess can be learned." It must be the villain who is making trouble and slandering the micro-ministers. If the princess doesn't believe it, she can send someone to investigate. Wu Kuo's appearance, as if Yuxi didn't believe that he was going to die.

Yuxi chuckled and said, "Lord Wu, I'm just talking casually, you don't have to take it seriously." ”

If Yunqing said this, Wu Kuo would still believe it. Yuxi's words, he didn't believe it. Such a thoughtful person, how could he casually mention Jiangnan to him.

When Wu Kuo got up, Yuxi said again: "Jin Yu came to see me today and said that he was willing to join the family, you should know about this, right?"

Wu Kuo hunched his waist and said, "It is his blessing that the lord of the county can take a fancy to the dog. Before, this kid didn't know anything, but now I'm glad he can figure it out. ”

Yuxi chuckled and said: "I have four brothers, Ah Hao and Ah Rui, who and the prince, how can I recruit any son-in-law? These are all jujube and that girl fooling around, you don't have to take it seriously." ”

Wu Kuo felt a sigh in his heart, and he couldn't guess the deep meaning of Yuxi's words, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "The prince is very smart, and the second young master is also the dragon and phoenix among people." ”

Yuxi smiled and said: "Jinyu's child is pure, and my girl is also a careless person, so the two children are quite similar in this regard." ”

Wu Kuo hurriedly said: "In addition to tending to flowers and plants, my youngest son is not just a martial artist, how can he be like a big county lord, and he is already a thousand households of Wupin at a young age." "He's just a five-grade Langzhong now, and he's still a fictitious position, and he doesn't hold real power like Zaojube.

Speaking of jujubes, Yuxi talked a lot: "This child's ambition is to become a female general, and he has been working hard for this ambition since he was three years old." These days, even if you are locked up in the courtyard, the martial arts never set, and you have to practice for two or three hours a day. After speaking, Yuxi also sighed deliberately and said: "It's a pity that she cast the wrong baby, if it is a man, she will definitely be able to realize her ambition." ”

Wu Kuo said respectfully: "The great county lord has such perseverance, and Wei Chen believes that even if she is a daughter, she can still realize her dream." "If it were an ordinary woman, it would be impossible to achieve this ambition. But who let the big county lord be reincarnated, with parents like the prince and the princess, it is not too difficult for her to become a female general.

Yuxi glanced at Wu Kuo, and still had that signature smile on her face: "It is not easy for a woman to survive, and it is even more difficult to make a meritorious career, so I also hope that she can get what she wants." ”

Wu Kuo said with a look of certainty: "It will definitely be." ”

At this time, Xu Wu raised his voice outside the living room and said, "Princess, the prince has a letter delivered." “

That's the end of this conversation.

Since Yunqing left Ho City, he generally maintained a frequency of one letter every three days. If there is anything, one letter a day. The content of the letter includes official business, as well as some local folk customs and anecdotes. This change is also influenced by Mr. Pang. This time, Yun Qing mainly talked about the situation on the other side of the West Sea in the letter, and at the end of the letter, he said that he would come back in a few days.

After reading the letter, Yuxi smiled and said, "It's just right to come back." "Jujube dating is also a big deal, and it is a pity that Yunqing, who is a father, is not there.

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

Staff Zhang said: "Master, the princess's meaning is obvious, she can marry the eldest county lord to the second young master, but she wants the Wu family to support her in money." ”

After a pause, Staff Zhang said again: "Master, in the past few years of war, I heard that the official treasury and the private treasury are empty, and millions of troops are also supported by a few silver mines. Master, if you want to welcome the big county lord, I'm afraid I'm going to bleed hemorrhage. "If you want to marry the lord of the big county, not to mention that the family is empty, at least you have to hand over more than half of it.

There is no need for Zhang Kou to say this, Wu Kuo himself can also think of it: "The princess told me that the ambition of the big county lord is to become a female general, and she has been working hard for it, why do you say that she deliberately said these words to me?" In fact, Wu Kuo had an idea in his heart, but he was not sure.

Staff Zhang thought for a moment and said: "The big county lord is married to the second young master, if she really becomes a female general, a title will definitely be indispensable in the future." "If the eldest county lord marries the second young man, her future title will naturally be passed on to her children, and finally it will be the Wu family.

Speaking of this, Staff Zhang looked at Wu Kuo and didn't say any more, 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 county lord makes a mistake on the battlefield, then he will hand over all his family funds, and then the bamboo basket will be empty." But the problem now is that since the princess has revealed this meaning, she will not give him any room to refuse.

Staff Zhang said: "Don't worry too much about this, the big county lord is the daughter of the prince and the princess, and he will not charge into battle, so there should be no danger to his life." "This is just a common sense judgment, in fact, no one can guarantee that things on this battlefield will change rapidly.

Wu Kuo smiled bitterly and let Staff Zhang go down, he stayed in the room for most of the day. He was not thinking about whether to agree to Yuxi's request, but trying to explain himself.

In the afternoon, Wu Kuo went back to the backyard to find the Fang clan and said, "The princess means to let the big county lord marry Jin Yu." ”

Fang's heart has been hanging since Wu Kuo went out, and when Wu Kuo came back, he couldn't come back in the front yard, which made her more and more uneasy. A smile crossed her face when she heard the news, but she soon realized that something was wrong: "Why did the princess change her mind?

Wu Kuo glanced at the Fang family, and lowered his voice very low: "The condition for the big county lord to marry is the Wu family's background. "Yuxi naturally wants not the Wu family's business, but Wu's broad family background. As for how much money Wu Kuo has saved in his hands, Yuxi has a rough idea in his heart.

Fang Shi said with some surprise: "If you want the Wu family's family background, when the family was divided, the property was taken away by Wu Qian, and we also got those shops, and we didn't get much money." Eighty percent of the money we have earned over the years has gone into the princess's private treasury, how much money we have saved, can the princess not know?"

After saying this, Fang's heart suddenly changed, although she didn't deal with Yuxi much, she also knew that Yuxi was definitely not such a shallow-eyed person, if it was only one million and eight hundred thousand taels of silver, it was not worth her to open this mouth. Thinking of this, Fang's face turned a little pale: "Master, do you have something to hide from me?"

Wu Kuo's eyes were very complicated, and he said after a while: "When my father was alive, he would leave a sum of silver every year to save. Wu Meng is a person with a sense of distress, and he was mainly afraid that his children and grandchildren would lose his family, so he wanted to leave a sum of money, so that if the descendants of the descendants had the ability to make a comeback, they would also have capital.

At the beginning, Wu Meng was 350,000 yuan, but later the Wu family monopolized a lot of money-making industries, and the annual import and export payments were tens of millions, and it was not eye-catching to set aside 350,000 yuan from it. But Wu Meng has been the richest man in Jiangnan for more than 20 years, and after accumulating it, it is a huge amount of money that even Yuxi knows about.

Fang's whole person was stupid, and asked, "Master, are the previous rumors true?" At the beginning, there were rumors that Wu Meng hid a huge sum of money, but with Wu Meng's violent death and Wu Qian's seizure of the family business, and then Wu Kuo stayed away from Jiangnan, the rumors of this huge amount of money disappeared.

Wu Kuo nodded and said, "It's true." After my father knew that his second brother was controlled by the Yu family, he was afraid of an accident, so he told me about it. After a pause, Wu Kuo said: "Although Wu Qian took the family business, my father sensed that something was wrong and transferred most of the funds, and Wu Qian didn't get much money. The place where the money was kept was known only to him and a few faithful servants.

Fang's lips squirmed several times before he asked in an extremely subtle voice, "How much silver?" There was a slight tremor in that voice.

Wu Kuo looked at the Fang clan and said, "Nearly 10 million." ”

Hearing this number, the Fang clan, who was accustomed to being rich and noble, couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. With tens of millions of silver, it's no wonder that the princess is moved.

After a long time, Fang Shi spoke: "How did the princess know about such a secret thing? If one or two million taels of silver were given up, they would have given it up, but when the nearly ten million taels of silver were delivered, Fang's heart ached when he thought about it.

The Fang clan didn't want to think about it, if it was only one or two million, how could it be worth Yuxi to open this mouth.

Wu Kuo said: "The princess said that the ambition of the big county lord is to become a female general, which is equivalent to saying that when she and King Ming win the world, the big county lord will get a title." The lord of the big county married into the Wu family, and this title will be the Wu family in the future. ”

Fang shook his head and said: "That's what I said, but this is more than ten years later, and no one can guarantee what the future will be, unless the princess can give us a guarantee." ”

Wu Kuo felt that Fang's mind would be confused: "Guarantee? How could the princess give a guarantee for such a thing." "If I could give a guarantee, I wouldn't be so subtle.

When Fang Shi heard this, it was like a basin of ice water poured down, making her immediately calm down: "So, there is no room for turnaround?"

Wu Kuo hummed and said, "Since the princess has spoken, there is no room for turnaround." After speaking, Wu Kuo looked at the Fang family and said: "This is also a big gamble, if you win the bet, the Wu family can become a powerful family." "As for losing the bet, then his father's hard work was also in vain.

Thinking that the mountain-like silver slipped out of her hand like this, Fang's heart ached unbearably.

Wu Kuo told the Fang family about this matter, which had his intentions: "The big county lord is the hope of our Wu family to change the court, you say more in front of Jin Yu that the big county lord is good, let their husband and wife be harmonious, and wait for them to get married and give birth to an heir as soon as possible." "As long as a child is born, even if the big county lord has a chance on the battlefield, King Ming and Princess Ming will not treat the child lightly.

Fang said in a low voice, "I see." ”

Wu Kuo thought for a while and said, "When Jin Yu gets married, I will give him his share of the property into a field shop and cash." As for the family's business, it will still be taken care of by Jin Bo in the future. ”

Where would the Fang clan dare to have any objections, and nodded in agreement: "Okay." "If she hadn't started to stop Jin Yu from getting involved, maybe there wouldn't be what happened now.

This is also Fang's own weakness, in fact, Wu Kuo did not blame her. Because he knew very well that since Yuxi knew about the existence of this huge amount of money, he would not let it go. Now being able to marry the big county lord can be regarded as a compensation for the Wu family.

If you want to say that Wu Kuo really thinks too much, it is also because Zao Zao and Wu Jinyu are in love, so Yuxi will let Zao Zao marry into the Wu family. Otherwise, let alone nearly 10 million, no matter how much money she has, she will not marry her daughter.

Wu Kuo is also a bold person, otherwise he would not have taken refuge in Yunqing and Yuxi when they were weak. Now that he has made up his mind, he doesn't delay, and after thinking about it for a day, he gave Yuxi a reply.

Yuxi was very satisfied with Wu Kuo's knowledge of current affairs: "There is no hurry in this matter, we will decide it when the prince returns." ”

After sending Wu Kuo away, Yuxi wrote a letter and handed it to Yu Zhi, saying, "You personally hand over this letter to the eldest brother." "The stakes are so high that you can't afford to go wrong.

Yu Zhi didn't say much, just nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Rao is now Yuxi, who has cultivated to the point where Mount Tai collapsed and his face has not changed, and he is in a very good mood after getting such a sum of money, and he smiles all day long.

Quan Mama smiled and asked, "Why is the princess so happy?" It is rare to see Yuxi so happy.

As long as it's not a confidential matter, Yuxi won't hide it from Mama Quan: "The military expenses for attacking the Northern Captivity have been settled." "She has been fighting all these years, and if it weren't for her great efforts to open up sources and reduce expenditure, and the spoils of Yunqing's victories to fill the vacancy, she would have been overwhelmed. Rao is like this, and now there are only rats left in the official and private treasury.

Mama Quan was very measured, she didn't ask where the money came from, nor did she ask the specific number, but just said with a smile: "It turned out that I was rich, no wonder I was so happy." ”

Yuxi did not hide his joy, and said: "It has always been the prince's wish to attack the northern captivity, and the northern captivity has been solved earlier. In order to raise military expenses over the years, she racked her brains and used everything. With this money, she can easily go for a while.

Mama Quan smiled and said, "It must be no problem." "Yunqing fights hard, this is a well-known thing. As long as the military salaries, grain and grass are prepared, and Yunqing personally leads the troops, no matter how strong the Northern Captivity is, it can be won. I have to say that Yunqing's reputation as a victorious general has been completely established.
