368 I'm so rich (asking for a monthly ticket)
Meng Lie "buzzed" in his head: "Your Highness means that there is no ...... him."
"It's fake death." Chang Sui Ning Dao.
"......" Meng Lie's mind was full of this "fake" word for a while, and he suddenly felt that his white hair was really wronged - should he find Wu Ji to compensate him for his hair?!
Chang Suining saw through Meng Lie's thoughts, and couldn't help but say, "He can't pay for a single hair......
After all, there is no such thing as Wuji itself.
"And it's no wonder that he is doing this, the matter of fake death was secretly arranged by me, in order to help him get out of Beijing." Chang Suining explained: "This matter is secretive and a temporary decision, so I haven't told anyone in Beijing, including Qiao Yang."
When it came to Qiao Yang, Meng Lie couldn't help but think of the puppy mentioned in Qiao Yang's letter, and he was in a delicate mood for a while-there are many people who are crazy because of the endless death, but in a different form.
And at this moment, listening to the explanation of the girl in front of him, the little complaint in Meng Lie's heart for Wu Ji was quickly suppressed: "Your Highness acted so thoughtfully, and his subordinates didn't even notice it at all."
He just asked if Wu Ji was also in the army at the moment, but he heard Chang Sui Ning say, "It's just that now I don't know where Wu Ji has gone—"
Meng Lie was slightly stunned: "What does Your Highness mean by this?"
"After successfully getting out of Beijing, Wu Ji said goodbye on the way to Jiangdu." Chang Suining said: "Although I left a letter saying that I was going to travel around, I asked people to look for his whereabouts, but there has been no news. He also sent people to Qianzhou, but learned that his former master had long since disappeared, and the people in his division did not know where to go......
Speaking of this, Chang Suining's eyes were worried: "If it were in the past, he could have go, but now that he is seriously ill and his attitude is very abnormal, I really can't rest assured."
Hearing the word "serious illness", Meng Lie's mood was also a little heavy, the endless death was fake, but the illness was indeed real, and he asked many famous doctors to see it to no avail.
Therefore, although Wu Ji is not dead, he is only not dead temporarily, and if he is allowed to continue to develop that strange illness, he is afraid that he will soon fake his death and become a real death.
You have to get people back.
"Your Highness, it's better to leave this matter to your subordinates." Meng Lie Zhengse said: "Over the years, the intelligence stakes in various places have not been wasted, and it should be easier to use them to find people."
Chang Suining, who was desperate for the end, nodded: "That's the best."
Meng Lie silently wrote down an account called "Although you have merit, you shouldn't be so pampered and arrogant" in your heart.
Even if he gets into the rat hole, he will find people out - as a subordinate, let the lord be so concerned, so willful, like words?
Chang Suining asked Meng Lie to sit down, and told him in detail about a few places where it was impossible to go, and Meng Lie carefully wrote them down.
After deciding this matter, Meng Lie asked the sentence that was hovering in his heart: "Your Highness...... Do you want to go back to the same path this time?"
Fighting with knives on the battlefield and living to defend the road, do you have to go through that road again?
"Yes." Chang Sui Ning smiled at him: "I didn't walk too well last time, so it's better to try again."
Meng Lena said in an expected tone, "It seems that His Highness has made up his mind."
Chang Suining let out a "hmm", looked sideways at Yao Ri, and the armor hanging in the tent: "Thinking about it, this way of living is more suitable for me."
Using the sword in her hand to protect the people around her and the land under her feet is an obsession that she can't let go of even after she dies.
When Meng Lie heard this, he thought of the three years of Beidi, and his heart was stinging for a while, and he never dared to think deeply about what kind of life His Royal Highness, who was invincible on the battlefield, during those three years, and what kind of tormented but firm mood he was supporting.
It took a while for Meng Lie to utter a hoarse but expectant voice: "Since Your Highness has already decided, then I ask Your Highness to allow your subordinates to accompany you...... Let's try the way you came again."
Chang Sui Ning looked at him with a smile: "Okay, if you're not afraid, just follow."
Meng Lie held back his tears, of course he was not afraid, God had taken back what he was most afraid of, what else did he have
Fearsome.
He stood up and bowed deeply to Chang Suining: "His Highness will not give up, and his subordinates will do their best to never disappoint His Highness."
Chang Suining felt helpless about his habit of saluting at every turn, raised his hand to signal him to sit down, and said, "I have one more thing that you need to check for me."
"Your Highness, please."
"Thirteen years ago, before I killed myself in Beidi, I was actually poisoned in my body—" Chang Sui Ning said.
Listening to this calm narrative tone, Meng Lie's expression suddenly changed: "Your Highness......
Chang Suining continued: "After coming back this time, I managed to see the jade shavings, and she admitted to the poisoning back then."
Meng Lie's eyes fluctuated, he remembered the jade shavings, back then the jade shavings often went back and forth in the building to help His Highness deliver news, and he was a personal maid trusted by His Highness...... How dare she secretly kill the lord!
Meng Lie clenched his palms: "...... Why did she do that? Is there someone else behind it?!"
After a while, Chang Sui Ning said, "According to what she said personally, back then, she was deceived by Yu Zeng."
Meng Lie's eyes were shocked: "...... Yu Zeng?!"
Chang Suining repeated what the jade shavings said at the time, and finally said, "But these are only her words at present, and they have not been confirmed. Yu Zeng is now the head of the palace and has lived in the palace for a long time, and I was controlled by others in Beijing before, so I did not rashly startle the snake—but if it is really him, there must be another mastermind behind him."
She has no personal grudge against Yu Zeng, and if he does, he will definitely obey others.
"Yes, my subordinates understand." Meng Lie said solemnly: "The subordinates will definitely order all places to strictly investigate this matter and find out the real culprit behind the scenes as soon as possible."
"It's been a long time since this matter, and it's not necessarily easy to investigate, so let everyone do their best and protect themselves." Chang Suining finally confessed.
After Meng Lie responded, he asked respectfully and expectantly, "Is there anything else Your Highness needs to be done?"
Chang Suining thought for a while and shook his head: "Not for the time being, I'll tell you when I think about it."
Meng Lie hesitated for a moment, and tried to take the initiative to ask, "Does Your Highness need money now?"
Chang Sui Ning was stunned for a moment, did he know her so well?
Also, her lack of money is well known, and she wrote to Meng Lie before, the original intention was because of lack of money.
Meng Lie was very grateful to his Highness for being short of money in his heart, and the reason why he was able to recognize His Highness this time was because His Highness lacked money.
"Yes, I have a lot of money these days. But some time ago someone sent me three millions—not long after I wrote to you." Chang Sui Ning said calmly: "These three million guan is enough for me to lose for a while, and when it is not enough, I will come to you to get it."
Meng Lie nodded clearly: "If Your Highness needs it, you can order your subordinates at any time."
Speaking of this, Chang Suining asked, "How much silver is still in the Dengtai Building now?"
When she left Jingshi, she didn't take any of it with her, and vaguely remembered that there were also two million yuan, most of which were private money she saved with her military exploits and the rewards of the emperor.
But Meng Liefang also said that over the years, all the secret intelligence piles have not been wasted, and it is extremely expensive to maintain these well. However, the business of Dengtai Building is booming, and she should be able to roughly cover these expenses, so she can have some leftover if she wants, right?
"Back to Your Highness, there is not much silver in the Dengtai Building, only about two or three million yuan."
Chang Suining raised her eyebrows with satisfaction, two or three million yuan, a lot, which is equivalent to not using the silver she left back then.
She praised sincerely, "Yes, yes, good at keeping the house."
But he heard Meng Lie say, "But the total amount of silver scattered and hidden in the coffers of various places may be nearly 10 million."
「?」 Chang Suining's eyes suddenly became round: "...... Where did you get all this money?"
"His Royal Highness is not involved in business, so he should underestimate the revenue of Dengtai Tower." Meng Lie explained: "In addition to Dengtai Tower, his subordinates have also been secretly doing other businesses over the years. Thanks to the well-informed dark piles everywhere, he can always know where there is money to be made and what business can be done before others
Business, with business to raise a dark pile, in the first few years everywhere was just self-sufficient, and then it also began to make profits."
Well-informed news can make money, and money itself can also make money, he has a way to go, someone is available, and there is no shortage of capital, interests are rolling around, and it is not uncommon to save these in more than ten years.
Although his business is not as profitable as the salt merchants, it is better because the industries he is involved in are wide enough, stable and sustainable, and can also diversify risks.
In addition, he was also worried that the business of Dengtai Building would attract trouble or suppression if it was too prosperous, so he saved the idea of finding another way back early.
Chang Sui Ning couldn't help but be stunned, this is not only a way to keep a family, but also a way to make a fortune.
It's hard for her not to be surprised: "So this is a million ...... And it's just cash in the vaults?"
"Yes." Meng Lie said: "There are also money used by various businesses to operate, and there are also hidden pile junctions in various places, and this year is more than halfway through, and all places will not hand over their revenues until the end of the year......
Speaking of this, Meng Lie paused for a moment before saying, "So the subordinates are not sure how much money they have in common, and they will be summarized by the subordinates, and then presented to His Highness in detail."
Chang Suining was speechless for a while, is this the rumored money too much to count?
At the end, Meng Lie smiled and said, "But no matter how much, it is the money born of His Highness's money, so it is all His Highness."
Chang Suining only felt that there was a lot of gold in front of her, and the golden thing made her eyes light up a little: "It turns out that I am so rich......
"It's nothing." Meng Lie's eyes were a little excited, and he promised, "Since His Highness has returned, his subordinates will definitely take good care of His Highness in the future, so that His Highness will not have to worry about these mundane things in the future."
Chang Suining was surprised again, so, Meng Lie hadn't used his real strength to make money yet?
Facing the amazing eyes of his lord, Meng Lie coughed lightly reservedly, but his back was straighter, everyone wanted to be a useful person in front of his lord, and he was certainly no exception.
He has never pursued money, food, clothing, shelter and other things outside his body, and what he has sought all his life is to be a useful person to His Highness, so as to repay His Highness for saving his life.
Therefore, to be affirmed by His Royal Highness means that he can think of the most abundant reward that will be given back to him in this world.
「…… Can you teach my men how to do business today?" Chang Suining asked sincerely.
"My subordinate was about to talk about it, too." Meng Lie said: "Your Highness can choose some trustworthy and intelligent people, stay with your subordinates for a while, and when they are familiar with the affairs of various places, they will be responsible for taking over the various industries and hidden piles."
Chang Sui Ning was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I'm not talking about this, for so many years, since you have been taking care of everything, and you should be fully responsible for it later, why do I need to do this more and use others else?"
Meng Lie hesitated for a moment, but still insisted on speaking: "But Your Highness ......."
Chang Suining raised his hand and interrupted him: "Okay, there is really no need to mention this matter."
Originally, she only planned to get back some of her private money, but now it was a surprise that she had these things for her to enjoy. And these achievements are all the efforts and painstaking efforts of Meng Lie and others for more than ten years, if she just knew the existence of these things, she would have kicked out these meritorious people and replaced them with the people under her now...... Then she's not just a thing, she's just wolf-hearted.
Even if Meng Lie felt that "it should be so", she should not have done such a suspicious act.
Seeing her insistent attitude, Meng Liecai lowered his head and responded "yes".
"When I said let you teach them to do business, I meant Jiangdu's business." Chang Suining then continued: "I plan to build some workshops in Jiangdu, and now I have a rough charter, and I want you to help guide them one or two more later."
"Workshop?" Meng Lie thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness doesn't have to worry about money now—"
"No, not for the money." Chang Suining said: "Or not only for money, I want to build a workshop in Jiangdu, one is to cultivate a group of craftsmen who can be used by me, and the other is to promote and support the handicraft industry in Jiangdu."
And if the handicraft and craftsman workshops can flourish, it will bring a lot of help and improvement to Jiangdu - this she saw from Xuanzhou.
Meng Lie suddenly said: "It's the subordinates who have limited their vision, and since that's the case, Your Highness can rest assured that you will hand over this matter to your subordinates."
Not only can he impart experience, but he can also strictly control the whole process, and if necessary, he can also mobilize or find outstanding craftsmen from all walks of life to come to Jiangdu.
After saying this, Chang Suining's mood became more and more happy, and there were really a lot of surprises today.
And since she is so rich now, it is better to say: "I have used up all my old pension money these days, and now that I have money left, I will make up his private treasury."
"Yes, I don't know how much? My subordinates let them arrange it."
Chang Suining: "Let people take a million."
Together with the 300,000 taels donated by Lao Chang before, he also made up for it, filling his small treasury at one time.
"A small amount." Meng Lie smiled and said, "My subordinates will secretly send them to the Assassin's Mansion within ten days."
Chang Suining nodded happily, probably this is the happiness of being wealthy.
"By the way, His Highness said that not long ago, someone sent three million pieces to His Highness, but this money needs to be returned together?" Meng Lie asked thoughtfully and meticulously, and he had a sense of helping his father-in-law settle the debts everywhere.
But seeing His Royal Highness, who is not short of money at all, there was a look of thought between his eyebrows.
