Zhuge Jisui carried out Lu Ce's plan and made a lot of money, and also brought back many talents. He never thought that the new emperor would spend so much money on his favorite concubine.
He doesn't care about the civilians who died.
He loves his concubine to death.
Jiang Qiu, who was counting the banknotes with Lu Ce, sneered: "The concubine is arrogant and proud, and his life and death in the future are unpredictable!"
"Speak softly." Lu Ce reminded.
"I spoke very quietly." Jiang Qiu snorted.
Throughout history, poor people have always been the most contented people.
They are easy to please: being well fed and warmly clothed is enough.
Unless they were oppressed or encountered natural disasters or man-made calamities that made it impossible to survive, no dynasty had ever been able to successfully rebel while the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
But now, natural disasters and man-made calamities are coming one after another, corrupt officials are in power, the emperor is incompetent, and foreign enemies are invading. I don’t know what the future will be like.
Jiang Qiu sighed deeply. Even if the male protagonist, the Fifth Prince, ascended the throne, it would take a long time for the people to return to normal.
There were seventeen silver bills in his hand, each worth one hundred taels.
A total profit of 1,700 taels!
This is the silver note from Luo Family Bank, which is distributed in Qiongzhou. There is no need to worry about such a huge behemoth falling.
After putting all the banknotes in his pocket, Jiang Qiu was no longer as happy as before. Instead, he felt heavy: "Do you think they are hungry now?"
"Ah."
Judging from the speed at which the court handled the situation behind the scenes, the people would have starved for at least half a year. Fortunately, some of them were taken in by Zhuge Jisui.
Since the last conversation, Lu Ce realized that Zhuge Jisui wanted to get a piece of the pie in Dongliang, or at least not be hindered by others. Now he has brought an entire town of young and strong people under his command. He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. Is the world really going to be in chaos again?
I hope that if the Fifth Prince really wants to ascend to the supreme position, he can do it quickly so that the people can suffer less.
"We only have four months left to arrive in Qiongzhou." Jiang Qiu was not so panicked when he had no money, but now that he had money, he began to worry about what to do when the money was spent: "We have to work hard to make money. Regardless of whether we have the spare energy to help others, at least we have to take good care of ourselves."
"Yeah." Lu Ce nodded.
"Then go to sleep."
Jiang Qiu quickly adjusted his mentality.
Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world.
If she can achieve something in Qiongzhou in the future, she will try her best to do what she can to help the people.
After July and August, the weather became less hot, and there was a gentle breeze at night, which brought a little coolness.
Lu Ce was also thinking about what he could do. Even if he hated the emperor, his life was saved by the people begging for it on their knees. He should not treat him like this, nor should he go with the flow and let the people suffer.
As he was thinking, his arm was grabbed.
The person next to him was Jiang Qiu. While Jiang Qiu was sleeping, his furry head suddenly moved and rubbed Lu Ce's shoulder.
Lu Ce turned his head and looked from the void.
The little girl rubbed his arm again, as if she was thinking of something happy. In the moonlight, Lu Ce could clearly see the smile on her lips. His eyes fell on her, like ice and snow melting, with a hint of tenderness appearing. He did not push away her move to hold his arm.
But he also used his legs to hook the backpack over and took out the clothes he had worn in Los Angeles. He covered his mother and his nephews and nieces with his clothes.
Jiang Qiu's clothes were still covering her. With the clothes covering her, she felt more comfortable. She rubbed him again and held him tighter.
Lu Ce felt that it was okay to be held tightly by her. The two of them had too much physical contact along the way and it was unavoidable. But now it was dark at night and he felt a little strange in his heart when he was held.
After Jiang Qiu marries someone else, will she hold on to her husband in the same way?
Lu Ce closed his eyes tightly, put aside his mixed emotions, and tried hard to sleep, but all the senses in his body seemed to be gathered in his arms, making him think about all kinds of things all night long.
It was foggy in the early morning. Jiang Qiu opened his sleepy eyes, yawned, stretched his hands forward, scratched his hair, and it was like a bursting dandelion.
Looking at the things in front of her, she felt like she was in a fairyland. She waved her hand and tried to open her eyes wide to see the things in front of her clearly. She patted Lu Ce and said, "Wake up. You see, the fog is too thick. Let's sleep in a tent from now on."
"Okay." Lu Ce agreed.
In the hazy mist, Jiang Qiu could see the handsome face of the man now. "You have only applied a thin layer of ointment to cover your face recently. The mist has made the ointment on your face dissipate."
“Do I need to apply more?”
"It doesn't matter whether you put it on or not."
Jiang Qiu didn't want to apply it anymore because it was too sticky, but she was getting more and more beautiful. The officials and bandits who appeared on the official road made her scared and she was afraid of being kidnapped.
The ancients had a long history of sworn brotherhood. Although Lu Ce was also likely to be favored, his sharp features made people feel intimidated, so he was safer than her.
Appearance is a resource, and in times of scarcity it will naturally be plundered.
Lu Ce was reluctant to apply the ointment, and also wanted to save it for Jiang Qiu, so he simply stopped using it.
When the exiled people saw that Lu Ce had restored his original appearance, their eyes lit up, and Qian nodded with satisfaction.
It's not bad for Ce'er to use his looks to please Qiu Niang.
Li Hongnian came to Jiang Qiu from the team and asked, "Miss Jiang, what are you doing today?"
"Egg fried rice."
Jiang Qiu called everyone to work together.
After hiring Li Hongnian, she hired two more people.
After they got the job, they were all paid two taels of silver a month. One of them was Lu Pandi. She was young, so logically she shouldn't have been paid that much, but she worked harder than the adults and was unwilling to give up even a moment. She just wanted equal pay for equal work.
Jiang Qiu watched her working hard.
Of course I agreed.
Today is the day to pay their wages, and Jiang Qiu decided to give them the money when they finish their work in the evening.
Others saw that Jiang Qiu was living a prosperous life and no longer had the fear of being exiled to Qiongzhou. They could find ways to make money during exile. After they arrived in Qiongzhou, they would be able to earn more money. There was no need to panic at all. These were all trivial matters.
But even so, unless they were really greedy, they would only spend some of their savings to buy Jiang Qiu's food.
"Didn't I steam some rice yesterday?"
Jiang Qiu had already prepared to make egg fried rice yesterday. Generally, people use overnight rice to make egg fried rice, but remember to use gauze to pad the steamer when steaming the rice to prevent excessive water vapor. Only in this way can the rice grains be distinct when fried.
"Ready."
Hu Zi was the first to respond.
Originally, he wanted to become Jiang Qiu's apprentice, but for some reason his boss found out and told Miss Jiang. Miss Jiang asked him to learn from her and ask her if he was interested in anything, but she did not intend to accept him as a disciple.
