It's just that the maid hasn't figured out how to help Chang Yulian calculate Qiao Lixi, so Chang Yulian said: "The subordinates have the rules of the subordinates, fortunately, it is me who you bumped into today, for the sake of the sister-in-law's face, I can not pursue it, if you bump into someone else, you will lose not only the face of the sister-in-law, but also the face of the Hou Mansion." If you encounter strict rules, if you don't get it right, it will kill you. ”

The little maid turned pale with fright.

Chang Yulian changed her words, "You are the maid of the 'Wutong Pavilion', if you do something wrong, naturally the master of the 'Wutong Pavilion' will punish you." ”

As he spoke, he tightened his hands into fists.

Chang Yulian wanted to say a few more words, but Goji got the news from nowhere and rushed over.

"Second grandma, are you okay?" Goji asked.

Seeing Chang Yulian shaking her head, Goji looked at the kneeling person on the ground, and said in a cold voice: "You are the maid next to Aunt Juan, how to send it down, it all depends on Aunt Juan, if the second grandmother is not satisfied, then hand it over to the second grandmother." ”

"Grandma is really good at being a person." The maid beside Chang Yulian sneered.

Goji Berry Pi said with a smile: "The second grandmother also said before that this maid is a person from the 'Wutong Pavilion', and she was sent by the master of the 'Wutong Pavilion'. My grandmother is kind-hearted, and she doesn't want to embarrass my aunt's maid on her behalf, so I leave it to my aunt to dispose of herself. If the second grandmother thinks it is inappropriate, the slave will hand over the person to the second grandmother. The little maid should have been heavily punished for colliding with the second grandmother, but the eldest grandmother has no opinion. ”

"The maids around my sister-in-law are different, and they are so confident in speaking." Chang Yulian said inexplicably.

Goji Berry said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The second grandmother is right, as a subordinate, the face and confidence come from the master, so naturally we must wholeheartedly protect the master, only when the master is good, we can be the next person to have face." ”

Chang Yulian nodded meaningfully, said no more, and left the "Wutong Pavilion" directly with the maid.

When she returned to the east courtyard, she excused herself to rest for a while, and when she was the only one left in the room, she let go of her left hand, which had been clenched into a fist.

There is a note in the palm of the hand.

Chang Yulian's ghost made the god open.

There were few numbers on it, but Chang Yulian spent a full quarter of an hour reviewing them repeatedly.

The corners of the drooping eyes slowly rose, and the anger in the whole body dissipated at some point, and there was a small tenderness under the eyes.

He, sure enough, still thinks about me.

……

After listening to the news reported by the guys, Qiao Lixi was not surprised at all.

As the person who knows the Qiao family best, she has learned how to seduce the greed of the Qiao family, and she knows how to use the opportunity.

The battle between the second prince and the third prince has become white-hot, and now the two are completely supported by silver to fight this commercial war.

Whoever has more silver, who has been supporting for a long time, and who has no silver, can only watch themselves being suppressed.

Qiao Ningdai wanted to be alone in front of the second prince, she didn't get the silver from her, and she didn't nod her head and cooperate, so she could only raise money from other places.

Qianzhuang is the best place.

With her promise, Qiao Ningdai can borrow a loan with a lower interest rate than the outside, so it's no wonder that she is not impressed.

As for what excuse to make the borrowed silver justifiable......

With Qiao Ningdai's situation, she must be used as an excuse.

Qiao Ningdai thinks so much about the second prince, how can she be a sisterly if she doesn't help?

Rolling his eyes slyly, Qiao Yixi said two words to the guy.

The 200,000 taels of silver tickets he got from the Feng family, Qiao Lixi was not ambiguous at all, and all of them were used to buy military supplies.

From grain and grass to medicinal herbs, from weapons to new clothes.

Those who need to go through the channels of the government are all brought forward by Mrs. Lu, and for the others, Qiao Yixi does it herself, and publishes the accounts every day and posts them on the outer wall of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion for everyone to supervise.

This is the first case in the Imperial Dynasty!

You must know that military salaries and disaster relief materials are the easiest things to do, and they are also the easiest to make some officials rich.

But Qiao Yixi just announced the accounts, not only were her accounts clear, but even the merchants who sold her things didn't dare to raise the price at will. However, several merchants who cooperated with Qiao Lixi did not hate Qiao Lixi because of this.

Qiao Lixi gave them all the market price, they didn't lose money, and on the published accounts, the names of the merchants were written, but they also advertised them. They are sincere businessmen, they support the Shen family's army, and they are conscientious businessmen who take the safety of the dynasty and the safety of the people as the first priority, not black-hearted businessmen who are mercenary.

Qiao Lixi's actions undoubtedly justified their reputation, so several merchants also took the initiative to lower their prices, making less money, but their reputations were better.

The people of the imperial dynasty, on the other hand, learned about the military supplies, and with this bill to compare, they understood where the annual taxes were spent, and there were fewer complaints about the officials who collected the taxes and the emperor.

It was just an unintentional move, and Qiao Lixi once again became the man of the year in the capital.

Of course, not everyone supports Qiao Lixi, and those officials who were once in charge of military salaries gritted their teeth against Qiao Lixi.

Every year's military salary, the emperor directly allocated from the treasury, how much the emperor allots, how much they use, the better, two-thirds of the materials will be sent over, the worse, it would be good to have one-third, the rest?

Hehe, naturally, it went into their own pockets.

The emperor wants to check the accounts?

No problem, the accounts are clear, where each amount of silver is used, how much is used, feel free to check!

But now, as soon as Qiao Lixi's accounts come out, if they compare them with the bills they reported before, they will definitely find out how greasy they are, and then calculate how much they are greedy!

Therefore, Qiao Lixi's move is undoubtedly to put a big knife on their necks, which can make their heads fall to the ground at any time!

Everyone is worried, for fear that one day the head of the court will not be guaranteed!

On the contrary, it was Qiao Lixi, who was not affected by outsiders at all, prepared all the things, and sent the things to southern Xinjiang by the guards of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion and the Gu family's dart master.

Gu Pingqing said that he could escort him personally.

It was not Qiao Yixi's surprise at all.

This third cousin seems to be very yearning for the army, and once revealed the intention of joining the army.

In this regard, the people of the Gu family did not object.

Old Man Gu also used his fists to knock down the Chaotianmen Wharf, although he transformed after and was barely a businessman, but he did not make mandatory arrangements for the future of his children and grandchildren.

In the words of Old Man Gu, men are ambitious in all directions, their own paths, their own choices, and their own walks.

However, Qiao Lixi was still a little worried.

After all, this military supply is worth 200,000 taels of silver, and it is a vicious battle if it is targeted by people with intentions.

Gu Pingqing said that Qiao Lixi thought too much.

"Qiaoqiao, if these things are sent elsewhere, they may be gone halfway, but if they are sent to southern Xinjiang, your worries will be superfluous."

"Why?" Qiao Yixi asked strangely.

Gu Pingqing squeezed his eyebrows and deliberately teased Qiao Yixi, "These are military quartermasters, Qiao Qiao, what do you mean by military quartermasters?" It was sent to the border pass and used by the border soldiers to defend their homes and the country. These materials have been robbed, something has happened at the border pass, and the dynasty is gone, what good can the robbers do? These materials can provide them with survival for a while, but the safety of the dynasty is unstable, the dynasty has changed, and their sense of belonging is gone. ”

"The robbers are so conscious now?" Qiao Lixi teased.

Gu Pingqing raised his index finger and shook it in front of Qiao Lixi, "Although the robbers killed people and set fires, they did all kinds of evil, but in the face of major rights and wrongs, they were still a little conscious. ”

Qiao Yixi rolled her eyes.

When Gu Pingqingxiong left Beijing with a convoy of people, Mrs. Lu of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion and the two ancestors of the Gu family were personally sent to the city gate.

Qiao Lixi knew that after Gu Pingqing delivered the things, he would not come back immediately, and would stay in the barracks for a while to satisfy his curiosity.

However, to everyone's surprise, many people also spontaneously went to the city gate to see them off.

Qiao Lixi couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and she also understood more and more the heavy responsibility on Gu Jinzhen's shoulders - not only related to the safety of the dynasty, but also the hope of the people.

Finally dealt with these tedious things, Qiao Lixi returned to the "Wutong Pavilion", and before she had time to take a breath, Goji handed over a few IOUs.

"Miss, this is sent by the steward this morning."

Qiao Lixi took it and looked at it and was happy, "The efficiency of the steward is quite fast." ”

Goji Berry boldly answered, "On the one hand, it is Qiao Ningdai who is greedy for money. ”

"Also, if you are not greedy, it will not go so smoothly. Put the money in the print, nine out of thirteen, in addition to the principal and the interest of the bank, Qiao Ningdai can also make a lot of money. Qiao Lixi shook the IOU in her hand.

This is an IOU from the steward to find someone to borrow money from Qiao Ningdai, in duplicate, and Qiao Ningdai still has one copy in her hand.

When she hinted at Qiao Ningdai before, she knew that Qiao Ningdai would definitely borrow money from Qianzhuang to alleviate the urgent need of the second prince.

She was also ready for Qiao Ningdai to repay the principal.

It's just that this Qiao Ningdai is more powerful than she imagined, and she can actually put money in India, know how to transfer risks, and let others help her bear the financial pressure.

In this way, the money that Qiao Ningdai recovered can not only repay the loan from the bank, but also make a small profit.

Ideas are beautiful, but how can daydreams that are too beautiful come true?

Qiao Yixi shook the IOU in her hand and handed it to the wolfberry again, "According to the above amount, take the silver to the steward and continue to borrow it." ”

Goji Berry was a little unhappy, "Miss, didn't we give Qiao Ningdai silver for nothing?" Give her our silver, let her take it and put it in the seal, and then we will lend it from her, and when the time comes, we will not only have to repay the principal, but also pay the high interest, this business is too bad. ”

Qiao Yixi smiled: "If you don't let Qiao Ningdai eat some sweetness, how can you raise her appetite?" ”

"That's what I said, but the slave maid felt uncomfortable."

Looking at the wolfberry's pouting mouth, Qiao Lixi said funny: "Why didn't I find out, when did you love money so much?" ”

"Miss, who doesn't love silver? Our silver is not washed by great waters. ”

"What do you know," seeing that the more wolfberry spoke, the more outrageous it became, Astragalus said shortly, "Miss does this, naturally there is Miss's intention, when did Miss let the people of the Qiao family take advantage?" Temporary benefits, when the time comes, Qiao Ningdai will spit it out with interest. ”
