Although 10% is a little less, it is better than nothing.
At least it can solve the escort agency's current urgent needs.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay!"
The Ninth Princess breathed a sigh of relief when she heard what Jin Feng said.
She was really worried that Jin Feng would be angry.
It would be a pity if there was a gap between the two of them because of this incident.
"Your Highness, Chi Ze has changed. Lao Han told the people to let them lead the horses and escape, and then gather at Laoou Valley in the north. I think we can take action."
Jin Feng said: "The people are very frightened this time. If they can't wait for someone and leave with their horses, it will take a lot of time to find them one by one!"
"Sir, what you said makes sense!"
The Ninth Princess nodded, turned around and prepared to leave.
But after taking two steps, he turned back.
He touched his nose in embarrassment and whispered: "Wuyang has something to do, and I would like to ask sir for a favor..."
Jin Feng was stunned for a moment, and then he guessed what was going on.
But it was rare to see the Ninth Princess acting like a little girl like this. Jin Feng also became playful and asked deliberately: "Your Highness, please speak!"
"It's just...it's..."
The Ninth Princess hesitated twice, and finally hummed in a low voice: "Wuyang wants to borrow some money from sir, is it possible?"
The princess has a fief, and as a royal daughter, all the taxes in the fief belong to her personally. She does not have to pay half of it like Qing Huai.
It's just that the Ninth Princess couldn't bear to exploit the people of the fief. She didn't save much money over the years, and in order to buy black knives in the capital, she gave all of it to Luo Lan.
When she came to Tubo to get married, the emperor was afraid that his daughter would be looked down upon, so he gave her a batch of gold and silver as a dowry.
The Ninth Princess was born into a royal family and had no idea about money.
When he arrived at Xihewan, he was dazzled by the messy gadgets invented by Jin Feng. He felt that using gadgets such as black knives, mirrors, and glass beads was much better than gold and silver, so he left the gold and silver in Xihewan and took a bunch of them with him.
Stacked trinkets and arrived in Xichuan.
Now she had to buy war horses from the common people, and she realized that she had no money...
You can't use black knives, mirrors, and glass beads to trade horses with the people, right?
Mirrors and glass beads are treasures in the eyes of the nobles, but they are of no use to the common people.
And even if the people are willing, how many horses can they exchange?
Jin Feng saw that Qin'er's fists had been clenched and he didn't dare to commit suicide anymore. He suppressed a smile and asked, "I wonder how much your Highness wants to borrow?"
"Five...fifty thousand taels, is that okay?"
The Ninth Princess showed an embarrassed expression.
This was the first time in her life that she had asked someone to borrow money, and she was still a little uncomfortable.
"Fifty thousand taels?"
Jin Feng was completely speechless.
Han Feng promised the people 5 taels of silver for each war horse, and Danzhu brought a total of 10,000 cavalry. Even if the people took away all the horses in the military horse camp, the total would only be 50,000 taels of silver.
The Ninth Princess excitedly went to collect the horse, but she didn't have any money in her emotional hands.
In fact, no matter how poor the Ninth Princess is, she will not have any money at all.
It's just that she borrowed more just to be on the safe side.
You have to open your mouth anyway, what's the difference between borrowing 40,000 taels and 50,000 taels?
When the Ninth Princess saw that Jin Feng did not agree immediately, she quickly promised: "Sir, don't worry, Wuyang can use the fief tax as a guarantee and will never default on it!"
"Your Highness, that's not what I meant, and I'm not guaranteeing anything."
Jin Feng quickly waved his hand and made an excuse at random: "People must only recognize cash. I was just wondering if the cash I brought was enough."
"Is it enough?" Ninth Princess also realized that this was a big problem.
"That's enough, but I only have banknotes."
Jin Feng replied with some toothache.
He was just making excuses to deal with the Ninth Princess.
I didn't think about it until I finished speaking. I was just so excited that I seemed to have ignored this problem.
He actually had tens of thousands of taels of silver notes in his arms, but if he wanted to buy horses from ordinary people, he would definitely have to pay cash.
Moreover, a common person can lead two or three horses at most, which can support more than ten taels of silver. Even if you give him a large silver ingot of one hundred taels, he will not be able to find it.
Therefore, not only cash silver is needed, but also a large number of small silver ingots.
Who would go out with tens of thousands of taels of silver?
At least Jin Feng won't.
"What should we do?" Ninth Princess was anxious.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, as long as you think hard, there are always more solutions than difficulties!"
While pacing, Jin Feng couldn't help but murmured self-encouragement words from his previous life, and his mind was running rapidly, thinking of countermeasures.
There is a lot of cash silver and copper coins in the Xihewan warehouse, but it will definitely be too late to send someone back to get them now.
The Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce also has a presence in Xichuan City, but it certainly cannot afford that much cash.
How to do it?
"If nothing else happens, the Qingyuan Army should have captured the East City Gate by now," Ninth Princess suggested, "Sir, how about we go to Brother Xinyao for help?"
"Can he take out so much broken silver at once?" Jin Feng asked.
After three years of clearing the prefecture, he received one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver.
Given Dakang's current officialdom, no matter how incorruptible Qing Xinyao, the state pastor, was, Jin Feng believed that he would be able to easily come up with tens of thousands of taels of silver.
The crux of the problem still lies in the broken silver.
"I don't know either," Ninth Princess shook her head, "How about I call Sister Mu Lan and ask?"
"Then ask."
Jin Feng couldn't think of a good solution for the time being, so he could only place his hope on Qing Xinyao.
The Ninth Princess asked Qin'er to call Qing Mulan and asked: "Sister Mulan, can brother Xin Yao come up with 50,000 taels of silver?"
"Okay!" Qing Mulan nodded without hesitation: "Wuyang, do you want money?"
"Yes," the Ninth Princess nodded, "I don't want a big silver ingot of a hundred taels, but a small silver ingot of five taels. Does Brother Xinyao have it?"
"Small silver ingots?" Qing Mulan thought for a moment: "No, I went to the warehouse and looked. They were all large silver ingots and gold ingots, and there was not a single small silver ingot."
Jin Feng and Ninth Princess both looked disappointed.
There was no need for Qing Mulan to lie to them. Since he said there was no such thing, it should be true that there was no such thing.
In fact, this is normal.
Except for people like Jin Feng who need to prepare large amounts of cash to pay wages to workers, who else would save so much scrap money for what?
If you have money, you must have saved up banknotes and gold ingots.
"Wuyang, why do you need so many small silver ingots?"
Qing Mulan noticed something was wrong with their expressions and asked curiously.
"I'll explain this to you later," Ninth Princess asked again, "Can Brother Xinyao collect so much broken silver?"
"Xichuan Mansion is so big, I can definitely get it together, but it will probably take a few days," Qing Mulan said.
"It's too late," Ninth Princess couldn't keep calm anymore, and said in a circle: "The people have just escaped from the prison camp, so they won't be able to wait that long. Maybe someone has already killed the war horses and eaten their meat."
The Ninth Princess felt her heart bleed at the thought of such a rare war horse being killed and eaten by the common people.
But when Jin Feng heard what the Ninth Princess said, he felt suddenly enlightened.
"Your Highness, I have an idea!"

I will write at least one more chapter, but it will be very late. You can read it again tomorrow morning.
