Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, I have a treasure chest so I don't have to wo

The afternoon before Jiang Yan returned to Beijing, he contacted Xu Ning in advance and arranged to meet him on the top floor terrace of Happy Valley Hotel. After receiving the message, Xu Ning arrived as scheduled.

"Young Master Jiang, what do you want to talk to me about?" Xu Ning asked straight to the point.

Jiang Yan smiled slightly, "Miss Xu is straightforward, so I won't beat around the bush. I came here this time hoping to reach a business marriage with Miss Xu. I wonder what Miss Xu thinks?"

Xu Ning was stunned when she heard this. She widened her eyes and wondered if she had heard it wrongly. "What did you say? Business marriage?"

"Yes, Miss Xu. I think if our two families can get married, it will not only enhance our relationship, but also achieve a win-win situation. Of course, this is just my proposal, and the final decision is in the hands of Miss Xu." Jiang Yan said very sincerely.

Xu Ning blinked, her mind in a state of confusion. She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Is he crazy? Is this guy kidding?" However, when she saw Jiang Yan's serious expression, she began to doubt her own judgment.

"Bao, did you hear what he said?"

"Hello player, he said he wants to marry you~"

Xu Ning: "..."

"Miss Xu, these are all my farms and shops, as well as the indentures of my servants. Please take a look. In addition, there are some special assets that need to be sorted out later." Jiang Yan said, handing a thick account list to Xu Ning.

"Stop! It's too early. I haven't agreed yet! Besides, what are you going to do with it?! Take it back!" Xu Ning looked excited and his voice was a little loud, which could be heard downstairs.

Xu Yuan and Cui Yong downstairs were confused. They didn't know what they were talking about upstairs and why they were so excited.

The other members of the Xu family were playing their projects downstairs as usual, looking unconcerned.

Xu Yuan and Cui Yong looked at each other. Since Xu Ning didn't shout "Help", there should be no problem, so they didn't go upstairs to check the situation.

Jiang Yan casually piled the house deeds that Xu Ning had pushed back to one side. He looked at Xu Ning with a serious expression and said, "Miss Xu, this is my sincerity. You can consider it first, or if you are planning to get married, please consider me first. Is that okay?"

"Your suddenness... is a little abnormal. Besides, we are not suitable for each other. We are not a good match." Xu Ning frowned and said. She knew that there was a huge gap between her and Jiang Yan. This gap was not only in status, but also in ideology.

Xu Ning had no plan to get married here from the beginning, because she was a modern person and practiced monogamy, which was not the case here. Moreover, the generation gap spanned who knows how many years, so it was at least as wide as the Milky Way!

"If Miss Xu means a match made in heaven, I think we are a good match. Miss Xu is underestimating yourself. Your vision and pattern are unmatched by many high-ranking officials in the court..." Jiang Yan said sincerely.

He believed that although Xu Ning came from an ordinary family, her talent and wisdom made her unique. Moreover, if you think about it seriously, Xu Ning's identity is not ordinary either.

"Stop, stop. Can you please stop being so exaggerated? Really, although I am a little narcissistic, I am far from being an official in the court. Please stop talking." Xu Ning said helplessly to the person in front of him.

However, the other party disagreed and continued, "Miss Xu, if you were among the officials in the court, the Daqing Dynasty would be further developed, instead of being on the verge of exhaustion as it is now."

Hearing this, Xu Ning couldn't help but frown. She knew herself well and knew that although she had certain abilities, she was still far behind the officials in the court.

"How could it be?" Xu Ning didn't believe it. With Jiang Yan's secret operations in the past few years, it couldn't be said that Jiang Yan had the final say in the court, but at least Jiang Yan's voice in the court was among the best.

But now Jiang Yan told her that things were not that simple.

Jiang Yan sighed softly, his eyes deep and firm: "Although I have a certain influence in the court, I cannot completely control the situation. The current court situation is complicated and changeable, and various forces are struggling."

He went on to say: "On the surface, the emperor is still supreme, but in reality, the power struggle in the court is already undercurrent. In addition to me, there are other officials who are secretly competing for greater voice."

Xu Ning frowned, which meant that on the surface it was still the emperor, but secretly it was a contest between Jiang Yan and the remaining officials.

Jiang Yan smiled and comforted him, "But don't worry too much. With the cooperation in the past few years and the Happy Valley now, the situation has improved a lot."

After a moment of silence, Xu Ning asked another question: "Why did you choose me? Is it just because I am from the Xu family?"

Jiang Yan looked at the somewhat stubborn little girl in front of him, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes: "Of course not. The Xu family is just one reason. I really yearn for the life of the Xu family."

"The main reason is because of you, Miss Xu. You underestimate yourself." Jiang Yan knew that Xu Ning didn't believe it, so he analyzed everything Xu Ning took out for her one by one.

Xu Ning may not be able to see that side, but as a politician he can see more and farther.

Just taking the Happy Valley staff as an example, judging from the current reports on the treatment of Happy Valley employees, the negative image of the Jiang family over the years has been successfully reversed.

With the continuous promotion of the Happy Valley industry, more and more people are beginning to understand and like this place, which also means that more ordinary people will choose to work in the Happy Valley industry.

This will also help solve the poverty of the lower-class people at many levels. It can be said that as long as one person in a family works in Happy Valley, the family can get out of poverty.

As time goes by, the Jiang family will gain more and more support from the people.

In addition, if we add the high-yield and high-quality varieties that Xu Ning specially launched for the Jiang family later, it will not only completely overturn the people's previous impression of the Jiang family, but it can even be said that as long as Jiang Yan is willing, the entire Daqing Dynasty may change its surname.

Of course, what Jiang Yan saw was not only these superficial phenomena, but also Xu Ning's more ingenious ideas and plans. Her unique concepts and ideas had already shocked and impressed him.

As a man who has already reached the marriageable age, it is hard not to be moved when he meets such an outstanding and special girl like Xu Ning.

Although Xu Ning sometimes behaves a little weird and funny, he thinks this actually shows her authenticity and loveliness.

"Miss Xu, in fact, the reason I proposed this marriage to you is not only because you are excellent, but more importantly, I need to consider the future development of our Daqing Dynasty, and I am also sincerely concerned about the situation of the Jiang family."

"Miss Xu, I may not be the emperor, but I must not lose power. And you should also understand that only by standing high can you see far. Just like when you chose to cooperate with me, didn't you also consider strengthening yourself to protect your family?"

Jiang Yan told Xu Ning all his inner thoughts, and Xu Ning was so shocked by his subsequent words that he couldn't recover for a long time.

"Jiang Yan, I'm only thirteen years old. It's too early to say these things." In the end, Xu Ning could only answer him like this.

Jiang Yan nodded, his expression still serious: "So Jiang begs Miss Xu to consider me first in this matter, okay?"

"Yeah." Xu Ning lowered his head and his voice was almost inaudible, but Jiang Yan was very satisfied when he saw this scene.
