The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

The two returned home, confused and unable to sleep all night.

Early the next morning, there was a knock on the door of the dilapidated courtyard.

Hu Luanfei was woken up. She opened the door in a daze, wrapped in clothes, and saw Qi Siliao and another person coming into the yard one after another, holding a lot of tools in their hands. Some of them looked familiar, as if they were the shovel, hoe, rake and pickaxe in her design.

She walked a few steps forward, squatted in the corner, looked left and right, and was confused for a long time.

It was not until Qi Siliao asked her to pay the bill that she came back to her senses.

"These..." She pointed at the tools and suddenly shut up.

I wanted to ask, but I hesitated. Qi Si Liao was honest and told me everything. "I saw the straw paper you left on the table a few days ago. I thought it was novel, so I took it. I didn't expect that the blacksmith could really make something out of it."

No wonder she always asked where the draft was. It turned out that this guy was the one who did it. "Tsk, he didn't even tell me. It made it so hard for me to find it."

"It won't happen again."

He admitted his mistakes with a good attitude, so Hu Luanfei had no reason to find fault with him. After all, he was once a powerful and mighty war king, second only to one man and above ten thousand people. When he wanted something, he never needed anyone's permission. His current transformation was very gratifying.

"By the way, I've sold your piece of straw paper."

The smile suddenly became stiff.

Hu Luanfei asked very kindly: "Who did you sell it to?"

Without even looking up, he answered, "Blacksmith."

She was slightly unhappy, "How much did you sell for?"

He stopped wiping the farm tools and stretched out his five fingers.

"Five thousand taels?"

He was shocked and shook his head.

"Then... five hundred taels?"

He still couldn't believe it and shook his head again.

Hu Luanfei couldn't hold back his 'kind' smile anymore, and asked him directly, "Don't tell me that piece of straw paper is worthless."

He seemed to be aware of her anger, looked away, pursed his lips and said briefly, "Five taels."

"Only five taels?" Hearing such a cheap price, Hu Luanfei was about to explode, and he cursed without restraint, "You bastard, do you know how to do business? Who would sell the copyright so cheaply? Do you know how much brain cells I spent on drawing those farm tools?"

Qi Siliao didn't understand what she meant by copyright, brain cells, etc., but when he saw her furious look, he knew that something had gone wrong.

Hu Luanfei was so disappointed with him that he poked his forehead and continued to bombard him, "You are a royal relative, but you don't have any scheming at all. How can you fight with others?"

"This transaction is a mutual agreement. There is no need to talk about royal relatives and schemes."

"There's a word called 'profiteer', do you understand it?"

Qi Si Liao was annoyed by being poked, so he grabbed her wrist and said coldly with a frown: "Hu Luanfei, do you want to die?"

"I want your life!" Her eyes were glaring with murderous intent. "Our family has a lot of expenses, and every step we take requires money. The blacksmith is from Beiqiu, and he has no worries about food or clothing. He got my design draft, and the farm tools he designed are novel and easy to use. When he sells them to others, he can make at least tens of millions of taels, if not a fortune. Just think about it, how much can we do with tens of millions of taels now?"

As if enlightened, Qi Siriao suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at her, "Then I will go and get it back."

ha?

"You are the prince, can you please stop being childish!" Hu Luanfei covered his face with his hands in despair, "Never mind, it's just a piece of straw paper, it can only be sold for a hundred taels at most, we can earn it back in the future."

"How can it be so easy?"

Hu Luanfei curled his lips and smiled, "If you are not light, then I am light, as long as I want."

"How dare a little girl speak so shamelessly?"

She snorted, "If you look down on me, you will suffer."

He curled his lips coldly, unable to find the right words to refute her.

"Your Majesty, I want to discuss something with you."

He glanced at her and said, "Speak."

"If you need to use my things or sell anything in the future, can you let me know?"

"Why?"

“I need to be respected.”

He didn't say anything for now, just stared at her. His dark and bright eyes seemed to contain cold snow, and his gaze was chilling.

Hu Luanfei knew that his request was excessive, but he would feel uncomfortable if he couldn't have the final say over his own things.

Gradually, my mood became worse, and I looked gloomy and didn't want to talk to anyone.

At this moment, Qi Si Liao finally spoke up and said, "I can fulfill your little wish."

"Really, really?"

"Yes. A gentleman's word is as good as his bond."

She was quite surprised. He was a high and mighty prince, but he was willing to lower himself to agree to her...

Although it was a pity that the design draft was only sold for five taels of silver, considering that Qi Siriao was easier to talk to than before, he reluctantly let it go.

"Then...I'll go make breakfast first."

"Ah."

After that, the two of them didn't say a word to each other and went about their own business, but their thoughts were slightly different from before.

Hu Luanfei quickly washed up and went to the kitchen to wash the pots and cook.

Qi Siriao's health has improved in recent days, and his appetite has also improved. The rice he bought a month ago has already been finished.

"Oh..." She sighed, put down the pot and began to doubt her life.

Because the fiefdom is adjacent to the border of Beiqiu, the two are very different. They took advantage of the fact that the fiefdom is barren and cannot grow crops, so the grain is naturally sold at a high price.

This damn gap successfully ignited her competitive spirit.

"Your Majesty!"

She yelled, and Qi Si Liao immediately put down his farm tools and went to the kitchen. Seeing her angry look, he couldn't help but say something to her, "You little bitch, can you act like a lady next to me?"

"No!" She rolled her eyes at him. She was in no mood to do anything else at the moment. She sat down at the worn-out square table and ordered sternly, "Take out your map. This princess wants to transform the project!"

Knowing her abilities well, Qi Siriao did not pursue her rudeness and obediently went to get the map.

The couple once again discussed the important issue of planting.

The reason why the fiefdom is barren, apart from seasonality, is also due to the land issue.

Qi Siliao said that among all the fiefdoms, Taohua Village where they were located had the best terrain, while other places farther away were almost desert Gobi, and farther away was the endless sea.

Hu Luanfei listened and had an idea in mind.

"I have observed the low wasteland near our vegetable garden. The soil there is relatively soft. I think it is suitable for growing rice."

Qi Si Liao thought for a moment, "The stones there are no less than other places. It will take a lot of effort to tinker with them."

"Yes, I still have some money now, and I want to hire more people to dig when the spring rains are good."

Qi Si Liao hesitated, "I want to continue digging holes to build lakes, but can you give up on the farmland issue?"

This earlier project was huge and required a long time to execute. The manpower and financial resources consumed were incalculable. The little silver on hand was not enough.

Now, the most important and troublesome task for the couple is to make money and pay salaries!
