Exiled after the marriage? My elder sister sent me to the throne!
Chapter 50: Profiting from National Disaster
Lu Ce: "Of course."
"Ah, what a bullshit emperor... um..."
Jiang Qiu's mouth was covered.
Lu Ce looked at her helplessly: "We need to stay alive."
The price for insulting the emperor is beheading.
Jiang Qiu's mind shuddered, and he realized that he was still in ancient times and had no way to enjoy offline freedom of speech: "That bastard!"
Lu Ce hummed: "Just find a nickname."
The dog and the emperor are a perfect match!
Jiang Qiu asked again: "What if the concubine cannot be saved?"
Lu Ce shook his head gently and replied in a low voice: "I don't know."
"If it were you and something happened to your loved one, how would you handle it?" Jiang Qiu asked.
She remembered that it was written in the original novel that when the heroine got into trouble, the villain had no way to go there and was very anxious. He directly dealt with several of his men, which made many people terrified.
Lu Ce: "Go there in person."
Jiang Qiu: "What if we can't make it?"
Lu Ce: "Why can't you make it?"
Jiang Qiu: "Because you had your own grand ambitions at that time, and if you left even half a step, many people would be sad. For example, if you were the county magistrate, if you left, other people would die. Then you would have no choice but to stay there and could not leave. How would you vent your anger?"
Lu Ce was silent.
Does she want to compare herself with the tyrant?
"It depends on how the situation is handled. If it really can't be helped, then this is the only way."
Jiang Qiu: "Won't you kill someone to vent your anger?"
Lu Ce was shocked: "Am I a murderer in your eyes?"
"Uh... no, but you were very sad then..."
"No matter how sad I am, I will not vent my anger by killing people. They have families too. I have been practicing martial arts since I was young to protect my country, not to bully the weak." Lu Ce didn't know what was in her head. "Just like you said, if I become a county magistrate and kill people wantonly, who will obey my orders in the future?"
Jiang Qiu's mind was a little confused.
But in the original novel, the villain killed several capable men because he couldn't get to the heroine in time!
It must be because Lu Ce has not yet become a big villain that his values are so upright. After he becomes a big villain, he really kills people without hesitation and regards human life as worthless.
Lu Ce paused and said, "If you want to do something but don't want to have a bad reputation, you can actually put the blame on another person. If I really love that woman, then I will just be a widow for her for the rest of my life. If I don't love her, I can act like I'm deeply in love with her, then take advantage of the situation to find someone I don't like in my team, kill him, and put the blame on that woman, while also showing my deep love for her."
Jiang Qiu's pupils trembled, and the finger pointing at him was shaking, "You you you..."
"What am I?"
"Are you serious?"
"I'm just telling you the truth. If he really loves you, then he must have done something for you himself, not used others to do something for you. How do you know if he did it for you or for himself?" Lu Ce said.
Jiang Qiu covered his head.
It’s over.
She needs to grow a brain.
She thought this sentence was so true.
Why does the villain have such a view of love? Is it really because bystanders can see things more clearly? Or has he been using the heroine in the original novel? That shouldn't be the case. He died in the end, and because the heroine died, the hero and heroine were scolded... Although this point is consistent with what he just said, he is gone. Even if he was going to make a move, it shouldn't be made that way.
"Don't think about it. Let's go. We are not yet at the stage where we can act affectionate." Lu Ce said, and carried her back to the team.
Jiang Qiu couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Could it be that she is really in love?
In the past, she felt very moved when she saw the hero killing so many people for the heroine, but when she thought about it carefully, what did the hero do for the heroine? Was there a lot of traps set by the heroine?
Don’t those people who were chopped have any family members?
Won’t those family members bear a grudge?
Will it be the heroine who holds a grudge again?
Will that lead to revenge?!
Thinking hard.
Jiang Qiu didn't dare to think too much about it, because in this book, the hero killed many people for the heroine. It would definitely look good in the book, but in reality, they were real people, and some of them really went for revenge.
Lu Ce: "Do you want to make money from the national disaster?"
Jiang Qiu: “Ah?”
Why did the topic suddenly turn to this?
Lu Ce: "When we arrive at the next town, we will rent a granary and hire a team of escorts to the flooded area..."
“There is no one I can trust.”
"Zhuge Jisui, he owed me a favor before. Now I just ask him to guard this granary for me. It's a small matter." Lu Ce said.
Jiang Qiu began to hesitate again: "Wouldn't it be a bad idea to sell food to disaster victims at a high price?"
Lu Ce: "Yes, it will damage your virtue."
"Then why do you let me do it!" Jiang Qiu was really convinced.
Lu Ce: "We can make money. A dou of rice costs 45 wen now. If we sell it in flood-affected areas, we can sell it for 450 wen or more. At worst, we can make ten times more."
"hiss--"
Jiang Qiu took a breath of cold air.
"I'd rather not do this. I've finally survived. If I continue to do harm to my moral character, I'll be dead. We should be down-to-earth and feel at ease with every penny we earn."
Lu Ce rolled his eyes at her and said, "I didn't ask you to sell it to the disaster victims."
Jiang Qiu: “Ah?”
If not to the disaster victims, who should we sell to?
Lu Ce: "Sell it to the emperor!"
Jiang Qiu was shocked.
It turns out it can still be operated that way.
Is this really possible?
Her smile widened little by little.
"Fifth brother, you are so smart."
"You are so hypocritical."
Despite this, Lu Ce's eyebrows were slightly smiling, and his mood became much better.
In fact, if it was an ordinary disaster area, Lu Ce would not dare to say something like making money from the national disaster, but the new emperor's favorite concubine is there. In order to have more people to help with the disaster, the emperor will definitely send money continuously. What the disaster area lacks most is food. As long as food is sent there, the generals will definitely buy it.
But there is also a premise.
Someone needs to protect you!
The flood-stricken area is not far from Luocheng, and the Zhuge family is famous, so you won’t dare to do anything even if they tell you to. Lu Ce has given up on doing a "big business" with Zhuge Jisui, but he will use it if he can. After going to Qiongzhou in the future, he doesn’t know what kind of hard life he will have, so it doesn’t hurt to give up a little face.
therefore.
By the time Zhuge Jisui received Lu Ce's letter.
Everyone is stupid.
He used himself to make money from the national disaster!!!
But he still hid behind others and pushed himself forward.
He also kindly said: "If the Zhuge family does not want the people to suffer like this, they can open the granary and provide relief to the people, accumulate blessings for the Zhuge family, and also recruit talents for the Zhuge family."
Zhuge Jisui narrowed his eyes slightly.
Now is the time when we are short of people.
Although there was a flood there, many people did not suffer much and their physical strength is still there. If they can be recruited under his command, they can be put to good use. The only thing is... that we have to give Lu Ce money.
