The State of Ye was located to the west of the Dayin Dynasty. Although both were countries in the Central Plains, the soil of the State of Ye was no more fertile than that of the Dayin Dynasty.

In fact, Ye State had more barren soil.

I heard that potatoes are not picky about soil or environment. If they can be grown in Ye State, the people of Ye State will live a better life and the Ye State army will have more food.

This is a great temptation.

Ye Zhaonan originally wanted to slowly work his way out of Shi Lidie's potato-growing method after getting married, but he didn't expect that she would be willing to give it up as a bet so easily.

How could he not accept such a good opportunity?

After all, he believed that Lin Pianpian was definitely not the kind of person who was greedy for fame and fortune and deliberately put on a show.

Therefore, he could use this bet to get potato seeds and planting methods from Shi Lidie, so as to further develop the agriculture of Ye State.

Thinking of this, he nodded:

"Okay, I'll bet with you!"

Shi Lidie smiled slowly. She knew that Ye Zhaonan could not resist the temptation of potatoes, but since he was willing to gamble, she would have to let him see Lin Pianpian's true face to achieve the goal of making the male and female protagonists guard against each other and divide each other.

Only if they are not united internally can she defeat them one by one and complete the cannon fodder's counterattack.

"Your Highness is straightforward." Shi Lidie said, "But I have something to say in advance. If Your Highness wants to fulfill this bet, you need to make three rules with me, otherwise the bet will be invalid."

"Can you tell me in detail?" Ye Zhaonan was curious.

Shi Lidie said:

"First, Miss Lin must not know about our bet. If she knew the content of the bet, it would be hard for me not to suspect that you two teamed up to cheat me of potato seeds and planting methods. This is unfair."

"I promise you that I have confidence in Pianpian." Ye Zhaonan nodded.

"Secondly, Your Highness must promise me that in the future, do not believe everything Miss Lin says. Even if it is related to me, do not convict me right away. If you want to, come and ask me. I can explain."

"I can only agree to this with you. What happened today was due to my impulsiveness. There won't be a next time." Ye Zhaonan also knew that his temper today was wrong, so he was willing to accept this condition.

After all, he married Shi Lidie not simply because Bai Yueguang saved his life.

Shi Lidie has many advantages and benefits. If he really angers Shi Lidie impulsively for Lin Pianpian, and she confronts him, he will be in a thankless position.

Today he seemed to have lost his mind. When he heard that Lin Pianpian was wronged, he immediately came to demand an explanation. This was not in line with his character, nor was it in line with his mindset of making decisions after careful consideration.

"Third, since it's a bet, Your Highness should also make some bets, and I can't be the only one to make them. If I lose, the potato seeds and planting methods will belong to Your Highness. If Your Highness loses, what benefit will I get?"

"Then what benefits do you want?" Ye Zhaonan asked.

"I want to open a winery in the capital of Ye State." Shi Lidie said, "Your Highness knows that I am a businessman. I want the people of Ye State to drink the wine I brew. Is that okay?"

Shi Lidie is not short of money.

Not to mention the rewards given by the Emperor and Empress of the Dayin Dynasty, the rewards she received for completing the Elegant Mission, and the profits she made from her previous business, the dowry given to her by the Dayin Dynasty for her marriage this time was enough for her to live a worry-free life.

But she still wanted to do business, not only to make money from the wealthy people in Ye State, but more importantly, she wanted to establish an intelligence station of her own in the capital of Ye State.

She painted a big pie for His Majesty the Great Yin Dynasty and said that she wanted to be an undercover agent.

This is not an easy task.

The people around her are fixed and familiar faces to Ye Zhaonan. If there are any problems, it is easy to suspect her, so she can only do business. With more people coming and going, it is easy to confuse the sight.

It would also be convenient for Dayin Dynasty to send people to contact her. After all, her reputation of "being the best in the world sooner or later" was something no one dared to imitate.

Ye Zhaonan thought for a moment and agreed:

"You can open a pub and do business, but I want to share the profits with my partners."

"I will provide the site, tools, raw materials, and costs, and you will provide the technology. We will split the profits 50-50. If you agree, I can send someone to do it today."

"We can form a partnership. We'll split the profits 70% to 30%. I'll take 70% and you'll take 30%." Shi Lidie said, "Your Highness, you should know that technology is the fundamental reason why my wine is so popular, so I should take the lion's share. As for the preliminary preparations, it's just a matter of money, and I have it."

"Princess Yun'an is really petty and won't back down even a little bit." Ye Zhaonan was amazed.

"It is the nature of merchants to pursue profits. I am a businessman, not a philanthropist." Shi Lidie smiled, "No one would complain about the small amount of money. If Your Highness agrees, we can sign the contract now."

"Is there no room for further discussion?"

"This is the first time I cooperate with Your Highness, so I have to be careful. If the cooperation is pleasant, we can also cooperate on other businesses. I have a lot of business ideas in my mind. If Your Highness is nicer, I will give you concessions in the future." Shi Lidie continued to paint a rosy picture.

But only she herself knew that she and Ye Zhaonan would never work together again.

Her goal is to destroy the male and female protagonists.

But Ye Zhaonan didn't know that he was moved by the long-term benefits, so he agreed:

"Okay, let's split it 70% and 30% respectively. I hope the princess won't let me down."

"Xiang, bring what I wrote and show it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Shi Lidie ordered immediately.

Fennel quickly held out two pieces of paper -

The gambling agreement written on the first piece of paper included three conditions and the stakes put forward by the two people, which required Ye Zhaonan to sign, stamp and fingerprint.

The second piece of paper was the deed, regarding the profit sharing of the tavern, and it stated exactly the 30:70 split.

Shi Lidie had already signed her name and was just waiting for Ye Zhaonan to sign and confirm.

"Princess Yun'an is amazing. She has thought of everything in advance. You expected me to agree." Ye Zhaonan looked at Shi Lidie, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, "The princess's mind is unfathomable."

"Don't think I'm so powerful. I only understand the simplest truth. No one will refuse the benefits." Shi Lidie smiled and said, "Whether it's potatoes or taverns, they can bring great benefits. Even if the person in front of me today is not His Highness, but anyone else in your Ye country, he will not refuse such temptation."

Ye Zhaonan thought about it and it seemed to make some sense.

Shi Lidie did not see through his thoughts, but grasped the characteristics of people's pursuit of interests. In this way, she could not be said to be extremely wise, but could only be said to have a keen sense of smell as a businessman.

Then, the fear in his eyes faded away, and he no longer took Shi Lidie seriously, just like before.

Ye Zhaonan took out his private seal, stamped it on two pieces of paper, and pressed his fingerprints. From then on, the bet was established, and he also sent someone to arrange the specific matters of the winery.

At this time, it was already late, Shi Lidie had achieved her goal, and kindly invited him to stay for dinner:

"Your Highness, why don't you have dinner with us? We can also discuss the specific issues of running a tavern."
