Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter

"Since this silver is compensation from the Lin family, just accept it." Chu Yuanming wondered if Qiao Anan brought this silver here because she felt that she was unaware of it.

"Your Majesty, don't you want this silver?" Qiao Anan looked at Chu Yuanming innocently.

Chu Yuanming was stunned by Qiao Anan's question. Silver, who doesn't want it?

At this time, Chu Yuanming didn't know how to respond to his future daughter-in-law.

"Your Majesty, even if I have the courage to take this silver, I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy it in my lifetime. It's better to give it to Your Majesty." Qiao Anan seemed to see Chu Yuanming's discomfort and said quickly.

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Chu Yuanming thought to himself, this money originally belonged to the Qiao family, why couldn't he use it?

"Your Majesty, why don't you think about whose family this money belongs to?" Qiao Anan had no intention of covering up for the Lin family and spoke frankly.

Chu Yuanming thought that this money was compensated by Lin Qi to the Qiao family, but wasn’t it because Lin Qi’s granddaughter Lin Ruyi smashed the Qiao family’s shop?

Thinking of this, Chu Yuanming thought that with Lin Qi's behavior, he was afraid that he would not let the Qiao family spend such a large sum of money.

"Okay, I understand what you mean. I will accept this silver reluctantly!" Chu Yuanming said reluctantly, but he was very happy in his heart.

This is a full 260,000 taels of silver, which is not a small amount.

In particular, Qiao Anan said that this money was given to him, so it was his private treasury!

When Chu Yuanming thought about how much money he had, he felt like he could stand up straighter.

"Your Majesty, I have one more request." Seeing that the emperor looked very happy, Qiao Anan thought that it was time for her to make another request to him.

However, she was confident that as long as the emperor was not stupid, he would definitely agree to her request.

"Oh? Miss Qiao, is there anything else?" Chu Yuanming thought to himself. He said, there is no such thing as a free lunch. How could Qiao Anan give him so much money for nothing? It seems that she has something to ask of him.

However, considering that she had just given him 260,000 taels of silver, he would agree to it as long as it did not involve ceding territory or paying compensation!

Thinking of this, Chu Yuanming wondered what to do if the young lady from the Qiao family wanted his other sons later?

He heard that the boss went to find this girl.

Could this girl be so blind as to fall for the boss?

Or, does she actually want to be the Crown Princess?

Thinking of this, Chu Yuanming felt unwell.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to hand over 50% of the income from all the Qiao family's properties to the national treasury!" Qiao Anan knelt down and said.

"Oh, good!" Chu Yuanming thought to himself, it was indeed so.

"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Li looked at the emperor who was daydreaming in space and reminded him anxiously.

I was thinking, oh my, the emperor is too calm, this is 50% of the income from all the industries of the Qiao family!

How much silver would that cost?

I'm afraid that now the national treasury is not enough?

"Hmm?" Chu Yuanming hadn't reacted yet. He glared at Eunuch Li unhappily, wondering what this old eunuch meant.

"Your Majesty, Miss Qiao just said that she is willing to turn over 50% of the profits from all the Qiao family's properties to the national treasury." Eunuch Li whispered in Chu Yuanming's ear again.

Qiao Anan, who was below, did not expect that the emperor would react so calmly to this. Does that mean that the emperor had already set his sights on the Qiao family?

If I don’t go to the palace today, will the emperor do something to the Qiao family?

When Qiao Anan thought of this, she felt sick. As expected, one should not be too high-profile in life. However, she didn't know whether the emperor would think that 50% was too little.

However, if there are more, it will cost money to contribute both manpower and effort.

"What?" Chu Yuanming was shocked after hearing what Eunuch Li said, although he knew that the Qiao family was kind-hearted.

But unexpectedly, the Qiao family was willing to donate 50% of their profits!

Then in the future, will Chu Yuan still be afraid of the other two countries?

There is naturally no need to be afraid.

"Your Majesty, I also want to donate more to the national treasury. However, running those businesses is not something I can do alone. I also need to hire people to take care of them, hire people to do things, and decorate the storefront. There are also considerable expenses involved." Qiao Anan said quickly, fearing that Chu Yuanming would make things difficult for her.

I thought to myself, if they are still not satisfied with this, then the Qiao family may have to make another concession, no more than that.

Otherwise, the Qiao family might not even be able to get enough water.

Fortunately, there are not many masters in the Qiao family nowadays, and they don’t need too much for food, clothing and other expenses.

"I am very pleased with the kindness of the Qiao family. From now on, you can donate the profits after deducting the costs of Qiao An's industry to the national treasury!" Chu Yuanming said quickly, thinking that since the Qiao family said so, if he didn't say anything, they might think that his donation was too little.

However, he didn't think it was too little. He was just shocked, as if happiness had suddenly hit him.

Originally, he had prepared for the possibility of being annexed by the other two countries. Now, with the strong support of the Qiao family, how could he be afraid of Xijing Kingdom and Nanyue Kingdom?

Thinking of his second son, he sold all the property in the mansion to prevent the soldiers from starving.

If, as long as there was silver in the national treasury, how could he bear to let those soldiers go hungry and have cold clothes?

He would certainly ensure that they were well fed, well clothed, and equipped with the best weapons.

In that case, their Chu Yuan Kingdom would become the strongest country among the Three Kingdoms.

By then, it is possible that either they will be annexed or they will annex the other two countries.

Thinking of this, Chu Yuanming became excited.

If he really unifies the Three Kingdoms, it will be recorded in history. At that time, all the ancestors of the Chu family will be proud of him.

"The Qiao family is so kind. On behalf of all the people in Chu Yuan State, I would like to thank the Qiao family for their generosity. Please pass on my decree to confer the title of Marquis of Loyalty on Qiao Zhencheng!" Chu Yuanming signaled Eunuch Li beside him to remember to go to the Qiao family to announce the decree.

"I thank the emperor for his grace!" Qiao Anan never expected that she could get her father the title of Marquis of Loyalty. Is this considered a return gift for her father buying her a handsome husband last time?

Chu Yuanming looked at Qiao Anan below, and became more and more satisfied.

As far as he knew, the reason why the Qiao family was so wealthy today was mostly due to Qiao Anan's good management.

Thinking of this, Chu Yuanming suddenly remembered that the Chu Yuan Kingdom also had many industries, but the Ministry of Revenue did not have anyone who was good at managing them.

Otherwise, the treasury would not be so empty.

Chu Yuanming suddenly made a bold decision. If he handed over the Chu Yuan Kingdom's assets to Qiao Anan, would it be possible to move to a higher level?

"An'an, I have something I want to ask..." Chu Yuanming said to Qiao An'an with a flattering look on his face.
