Aiming high

No longer feverish and no longer dizzy, Zhuang Xun sat down at his desk to proofread the accounts, refilled the specifications, clarified the numbers, and summarized them one by one. His efficiency was much worse than that of a professional accountant. After all, he was only taking elective courses in his freshman year.

In accounting, it just so happened that the teacher was very strict and had too much homework.

However, Arabic numerals and this kind of system knowledge are dimensionally reduced compared to the slightly crude ancient accounts. It won't take long for an account book to be sorted out.

After finishing a book, he asked someone to come in and take the ledger away. The visitor left a bunch of copper coins to express his gratitude and left.

Si Qinmi continued his morning work, embroidering peonies.

As time passed, each account was sorted out, and hundreds of copper coins were added to the table.

Until the last Hu Shangtou, he put down a piece of broken silver, about two or three taels of silver.

"What else is important, Mr. Shang?" Zhuang Xun did not look at the broken silver but looked at Mr. Hu Shangtou.

"The emperor is fatuous and treacherous ministers are wielding power. The state of Yu has become unsustainable. Mr. Zhuang has a great talent. Why don't you come with me to the state of Cheng to show off your talents?" Hu Shangtou invited.

"Chengguo?" Zhuang Xun remembered that his friend also went to Chengguo.

Si Qinmi, who was sitting by the bed embroidering, lightly kicked Zhuang Xun.

"Take the broken silver back first, and I'll think about it." Zhuang Xun pushed the broken silver on the table and said.

"Mr. Zhuang, please think more carefully. It will be too late when the commercial tax comes down in a few days. It would be a pity for a talent like you to stay in Yu State. Just take the silver as an apology for my inability to help the day before yesterday." Hu Shangtou

He shook his head and said, took the account book and turned around and walked away simply.

"Madam, do you have something to say?" After Hu Shangtou left, Zhuang Xun turned to look at Siqin Mi.

"The chaotic situation makes it easy to get ahead. Chengguo is now politically stable, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get a chance to get ahead. Although Lang Jun is of imperial origin, this kind of thing cannot be passed on lightly." Siqin Mi still remembered the ten words said by Lun Luan Wang.

Years, and the most, there is a sense of urgency.

"The only ancestor I know of was a landowner, and he was knocked down by the wind and waves of the times. Where did this person with imperial blood come from?" Zhuang Xun said with his face covered, and for his family's surname to have a prince, it would have to go back two thousand years.

Come forward and return the emperor's veins.

"When I was studying, I once read that the emperor's veins are given by destiny and are the proof of the emperor. I don't know the specific reason why I was awarded by destiny." Si Qinmi himself didn't know very well.

"This, I have somehow carried an emperor's bloodline, and I will be killed if I don't fight for hegemony. What does this mean?" Zhuang Xun sighed and said that his time travel was a bit special and normal, but he did not have the ambition to fight for the dragon, or in this case he would not

There are no conditions for fighting for the dragon.

"Don't you want to be the emperor and govern the chaotic world?" Si Qinmi couldn't understand Zhuang Xun who had no ambition. Ordinary people became arrogant when they heard that he was destined to be emperor.

"Can I be a good emperor and govern the world?"

"How can I become the emperor?"

Zhuang Xun doesn't think he has any special talents. This world is still the world of immortals and demons.

"I will help you. Whether you become the emperor or govern the world, I will help you. As long as you are willing, I will help you ascend to the throne even if your body is broken to pieces." Siqin Mi's eyes were burning with fire, and there was a divine light.

It is also filled with a strong sense of confidence or pride.

"I don't want to see you broken into pieces, but I just want you to be safe and happy forever." Zhuang Xun was infected by her confidence, but weak words still came to his lips.

"No, what I mean is that we are like this now. To say that we can unify the nine provinces and support the world is still a bit exaggerated." Zhuang Xun looked at the room. He was still white, and Si Qin Mi's identity was even more shady.

"That's why we have to aspire high. If we don't even have this kind of ambition, how can we fight for dragons among hundreds of dragons and deer among princes?" Siqin Mi finally understood what Lun Luan Wang meant by being obsessed with success.

"You're right, what should we do next?" Zhuang Xun nodded and looked at Si Qinmi. She was very dazzling, with such magnanimity and magnanimity, but it felt unrealistic. The restrictions of her origin were already stuck.

Got it

"First of all, we need to earn money to settle down and live. Now that the three kingdoms of Jizhou are standing in a tripartite position, you can seek to seize their country. Chengguo is good at metaphysics and likes Huang Lao. He follows the caravan. With Lang Jun's strategizing skills, he can

A person may be rich and peaceful, but it is difficult for him to achieve elegance." Si Qinmi began to discuss her strategy for seeking a country.

"The state of Yu is weak, the court openly sells officials and titles, and the people's mentality changes. Daijun, Hebei, is a bitter cold land with great rivers and natural dangers. If it is managed properly, it can be divided into one side. The people are poor but brave. If the Yu state changes, they can support the army and start an uprising."

"Si Qinmi has chosen the definition of the land.

"What do you say have anything to do with me?" Zhuang Xun was quite pleased with the description.

"Since the imperial court openly sells officials and titles, why doesn't Mr. Lang buy the position of Daijun's prefect?" Siqin Mi suggested.

"Ah, where did I get the money? I can't afford it even if I have this kind of business every day." Zhuang Xun pushed the copper coins on the table.

"The governor of Daijun is not expensive, one hundred thousand taels of silver, and his term of office is four years." Si Qinmi said an astronomical figure.

"..."

"Why is Mr. Lang silent? Is he dissatisfied with this place? There are good places in other counties, but they are too expensive compared to Dai County. There is no place less than 200,000 taels." Si Qinmi shook his head. In fact, he chose

Daijun had no choice but to do so.

"Can't we choose a county first? No, even if I choose a county, I can't afford that much money, and I may not be able to earn it in my lifetime." Zhuang Xun rubbed his thighs. He just finished the accounts and felt numb.

"I have you." Si Qinmi helped Zhuang Xun get on the bed and massaged his thighs with her beautiful hands. The rich woman's words shocked Zhuang Xun.

"The Si Qin family has been confiscated by the royal family. Where did you get the money? You can't go back to Zhenguo Duke's mansion to get it." Zhuang Xun was confused. Even if it was a bank, Si Qin Mi didn't have any bills now.

"My mother passed away and gave me a surplus of wealth. The gold and silver jewelry is worth about one hundred thousand taels. I stored it in the stone ridge next to my mother's tomb. I go there to worship every year. No bricks and stones have been moved. The money should still be there. It happened to be Si Qin.

The family doesn’t want to let mother enter the ancestral land, but it avoids the risk of being destroyed." Si Qinmi said lightly.

Zhuang Xun could hear her anger. He pressed Si Qin Mi's hand and said, "Are the Si Qin family so hateful? They are not allowed to enter the ancestral land. Also, this should be the burial place for my mother-in-law. We used it."

Isn’t it not good?”

"My mother was born as a slave, and my concubine is not a man, so she cannot be considered a member of the Si Qin family. It is a good thing to avoid the disaster." Si Qin Mi said happily.

Seeing Zhuang Xun's worried look, she comforted him and said, "It's okay, it's over. As for these gold and silver jewelry, my mother was afraid that she would be despised as a concubine, so she couldn't even bury her in her husband's ancestral land after she died.

I had to save a dowry for my concubine, but I didn’t use it when I arrived at the Duke Zhenguo’s mansion. Now that I’m marrying the husband, it’s in line with my mother’s wish. After all, I will definitely be buried in the land of the husband’s family.”

"Of course, you are my wife, and of course you will be buried on my family's land, but will we have a burial place in the future?" Zhuang Xun, who had little knowledge of history, also knew the fate of losers who participated in the competition with Kyushu.

"Not necessarily, but if you don't fight for it, it will definitely not happen. I have already prepared in my heart. If I die without a burial place, I am willing to go to the underworld with my husband."

"Don't talk nonsense like this. You can't say good things or bad things. But isn't my mother-in-law a concubine? How come there is so much gold and silver?" Zhuang Xun said, still a little shocked.

"Is it a lot? Not much. My mother has been saving for more than twenty years. The general's palace receives countless filial piety and gifts from the royal family every year. She also has a business. Although she is a concubine, she gets a lot of money when she is beautiful.

There are also many gifts of utensils, which have been reduced as she grows old and loses her beauty. However, my mother's tattoo skills are famous in Yindu, and she also makes a lot of money. She is diligent and thrifty in daily life, unlike the wife who has dozens of maids waiting for her.

It’s not all gold and silver, there are also jade treasures, the rough estimate is one hundred thousand.”
