Fan Kou's premonition collapsed instantly after he wiped away Song Chen's stone.
"King, Princess...are you really just relying on luck?"
Fan Kou couldn't believe what he saw in front of him. A whole piece of jade that was rubbed out just like his previous one was already in front of him. His piece was just a flower floating in the sun, but the planting water had not yet reached the ice.
But although his princess' plot is not completely green, the planting water is close to glass.
If he hadn't heard the prince and princess talking about Mo Fei's bet on stones before, he might have believed that it was really luck, but now it happened again... This was really weird for him who never believed in luck.
some.
Facing his question, Song Chen could only remain silent.
After all, the more you speak in front of knowledgeable people, the more likely you are to arouse others' suspicion.
"I only care about the results."
Cang Xiuxuan spoke at the right time, causing Fan Kou to wake up suddenly, wondering what a stupid question he had asked.
He held both rough stones in front of him and said, "The younger one loses. The princess's stone is worth more."
This was a way of saving face for himself. The value of the princess's piece of rough stone was much higher than his.
No matter how the princess was able to pick out such a good stone, the result was that he lost, and he was convinced.
"You are also a person with real abilities, but you have to remember that there are always people outside the world, and there are mountains outside the mountains."
"I remember it, little one. Thank you, Princess, for your teaching."
Since then, Fan Kou has really settled down a lot. The original pride no longer exists, replaced by a calm expression.
This is the result Song Chen wants to see.
The jade was delivered to the palace in batches, and Song Chen simply asked Fan Kou to sort it directly, and then put it in the warehouse.
Seeing so many rough stones being transported to the Regent's Palace, everyone in Xiaoyao was very jealous, but they could only think about it in their hearts and dare not do anything. After all, the other party was the Regent, and no one had such great ability.
Dare to challenge his authority.
Two months passed in a flash.
The military reform has reached its most tense moment. After Cang Xiuxuan's military reform order was issued to each station, it caused quite a commotion.
The generals in each department also stayed calm in the face of danger and explained to them with unprecedented patience.
"The military reform that the prince said is not to demobilize us, but to allow us to join the production army and make the country stronger. And our station is where we recuperate. We need to create things here that are enough to fill the national treasury. All expenses
The prince will bear it, and each of you will receive a subsidy. Except for a portion of the profits from the products produced, which will be handed over to the treasury, the rest will belong to you."
There is no need to doubt their loyalty, but everyone has the right to pursue a better life. What the prince can give them in the military camp is not bad, and what he can give after the reform will naturally be better than before.
"And the princess has also given some measures. There will be different ways to make money in different regions. Don't you believe the prince and princess?"
This was to the point. The status of the prince and princess in their hearts was unparalleled.
If the prince is the god in their hearts, then the princess is the god of wealth in their hearts.
They have also witnessed the things the princess did, which are simply unimaginable to them.
"General, then are we still considered to be the prince's soldiers??"
After everyone was silent for a while, they asked the question they were most concerned about.
However, the general they asked did not answer their question immediately. He just looked at them resolutely and glanced at everyone present.
"We have been under His Majesty's command since the first day we served as soldiers. We are born as His Majesty's people and die as His Majesty's ghosts. No matter what circumstances, we can't change the fact that we are His Majesty's soldiers. Military reform is not disarmament, it is just
In order to find a better solution for everyone, when the prince is in need, we will still be the soldiers of the brave and invincible prince!"
These words were very exciting, and the little bit of unwillingness in everyone's hearts was all washed away by these words.
What they care about is whether the prince still wants them or not!
As long as the prince still wants them, he can do whatever he asks them to do.
The military reform was carried out in secret. The purpose and policies of the military reform were not known to anyone outside the army. All armies lived on the spot, and the common people only saw carts of things being pulled into the garrison.
It didn't take long for the station to become lively.
It seemed like they were clearing land or building a house. Anyway, they were in full swing. I didn’t know what they were doing, let alone the purpose of doing it.
In the first year, there was not much harvest, and all they did was pioneering work. The subsidy money Cang Xiuxuan gave to each soldier was not stingy at all, and everyone received a subsidy of twenty taels of silver.
I used to trade my life for military pay, but this was the first time I got money in this way. Everyone was grinning from ear to ear with joy, and they were enthusiastic about everything they did.
It's just that after all the subsidies were paid out this time, Cang Xiuxuan and Song Chen really became out-and-out poor. More than two million taels of silver were released like this. Song Chen felt really distressed for several days.
.
As a result, Cang Xiuxuan had to coax her for a while when he saw her these days.
In fact, he really didn't have any idea about money at first. He only thought it was a number. Even when it was used to build a city, he didn't feel bad about it no matter how much money he spent. But now, looking at the appearance of the little princess, he would also feel bad about it.
"Our money is only temporarily released. Wouldn't it be just as quick to come back? Don't be unhappy. I have some good things in the warehouse. You can go in and take a look at it at any time. It should make you feel better."
He had to give everything to Song Chen, and now the only thing he could get away with, apart from the real estate, were probably the good treasures that Song Chen was reluctant to sell.
Fortunately, when he was short of money, Song Chen got another batch of pearls to sell.
They had to transport it to all parts of the country and sell it, and made hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, otherwise they would have been unable to bear it.
No, if it weren't for this space, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to withstand it long ago.
"I can't feel comfortable no matter what. I'll do the math for you. You've spent millions of silver from the time you built the new city. This doesn't include the money you spent raising soldiers. If all this money is still there, then you
At least he’s a multi-millionaire!”
What is the concept of a multi-millionaire in this era? It is equivalent to being the richest man in the modern world. How valuable is silver? And this is just counting silver, not collecting!
In fact, the real value is those collections, which are worth half a day.
Seeing such an excited little princess, Cang Xiuxuan just wanted to laugh.
"Then I'll try to make the money back as soon as possible."
For others, this may be difficult and may take several lifetimes to complete, but for Cang Xiuxuan, it is not that difficult.
With his words, Song Chen felt a little more comfortable.
But what made Song Chen feel even more comfortable was that all the flowers on the manor were blooming and she could make money.
When you have money in your account, you will naturally feel better.
Song Chen's manor was not far from Shangjing, and the flowers were blooming and could be seen from a distance.
Because the roads in this era are not as developed as modern times, it will not be noisy just because it is on the side of the road. On the contrary, the closer to the pipeline, the better. After all, it will be more convenient to transport things in the future.
It is precisely because of this that Song Chen's manor aroused a lot of discussion when he came to Beijing.
Without exception, they were all asking whose village it was and whether they could go there to enjoy the flowers.
But after asking around this time, people I know around me all said that it has nothing to do with me...
I don't know who said weakly, "I met the Princess Regent once when I left the city, and I went in that direction."
The original enthusiasm was extinguished immediately.
It's easy to say that for other families, everyone will take their appearance into account, and they will naturally hold a flower party when they come to visit, both to communicate with each other and to show off.
But the other party is the regent princess. She needs nothing but a stable relationship. Others are just trying to fawn over her, let alone showing off.
The title of Princess Regent alone is enough for her to be envied by others. Coupled with the boundless favor of the Prince Regent, it is the best capital.
But the flowers were so beautiful that it made my heart itch.
I don’t know how I found Wang Shengwei, and I begged for a while.
Wang Shengwei did not agree to help Song Chen make the decision, and rejected it on the spot. However, he still went to the Regent's Mansion and told Song Chen about the matter.
Now Song Chen was really into money, and he had an idea as soon as he heard Wang Shengwei's words.
"Uncle, are there many people looking for you?"
Wang Shanwei thought for a moment and nodded, "There are quite a few. I'm afraid there have been more than a dozen of them in the past two days. Some are for the daughters of the family, and some are for concubines."
"That's good. Everyone who comes to your door is here to give you money."
Wang Shengwei didn't understand what she meant, but was shocked by the word "money", "This is not good, it's not easy for me to accept other people's money. I'll give it to you when the time comes..."
"Who asked you to collect the cash?"
Song Chen was simply defeated by her uncle's brain circuit. Wouldn't she know how to cherish her uncle's feathers? After Cang Xiuxuan retired, her uncle was still an important minister.
"What I mean is that I can open up the manor. Those who want to see the flowers can just pay money to enter."
In this moment, Song Chen had already figured out how to charge, "If you just go in to see the flowers, it's only twenty taels of silver per person. If you want to borrow a place to hold a banquet, then it's five hundred taels per person."
, you can bring your own ingredients and snacks or buy them separately, what do you think of this?"
She has been really poor recently. Apart from those treasures, she probably doesn't have enough money to get rid of ten thousand taels. She usually thinks this number is quite a lot, but now it's not enough to do anything at all.
