The fat wife is rebellious: she was spoiled by the group on the way to escape famine

You're lucky to be able to enter the city gate safely without being caught and beheaded.

This damn feudal system!

She cursed in her heart, thinking indignantly.

Under this system, life for ordinary people is so difficult.

Chen Zhiyao was still nagging over there, "Sister Jinhe, don't blame Brother Chen, this is unavoidable! We are serving the most honorable Prince Chen of Daliang!"

As he spoke, he made a fist-holding gesture towards the east.

Jiang Jinhe couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He was really poisoned.

"I understand. It means that if the ruler wants his subjects to die, then the subjects must die!"

Jiang Jinhe sighed helplessly, as if talking to himself.

Chen Zhiyao slapped his thigh and shouted excitedly, "Yes, that's what I meant! It seems that Jin He is not only good at business, but also very conscious!"

Jiang Jinhe shook his head and glanced at Jiang Yuannian beside him, his eyes full of confusion.

She seemed to be asking him with her eyes: "Are you sure this guy is really in cahoots with you?"

Jiang Yuannian nodded to her, reassuring her, and then pulled Chen Zhiyao to sit down.

The three of them began to discuss the specific matters.

When Song Dadi and the others heard Chen Zhiyao mention that His Royal Highness Prince Chen's request was for Jiang Jinhe to increase Yuemanlou's annual income to 300 million taels of silver, they all showed worried expressions on their faces.

They felt that this goal was too unrealistic because Jiang Jinhe had never managed such a large business before.

However, Jiang Jinhe herself was not too nervous about this matter.

She knew that although King Chen had raised a very high expectation, it was not completely impossible to achieve.

After all, Yuemanlou is a big place, and each floor has ample space where a lot of things can be done.

If everything goes according to her plan, not to mention 300 million taels, even 500 million taels might be possible.

"I can agree to the goal of 300 million taels, but I need Prince Chen to agree to one condition."

Jiang Jinhe said in a firm tone, with a glint of wisdom in his eyes.

"Jinhe, just tell me. I will do my best to help you with whatever I can solve."

Chen Zhiyao assured very confidently, while gently patting his chest, looking very confident.

"When the results are reviewed, before any revenue is generated, please ensure that all manpower, materials, and financial support are in place. Otherwise, I refuse to accept this mission and will have King Chen chop off my head!"

Jiang Jinhe said this nonchalantly.

Because she would never complete the task out of her own pocket!

Upon hearing this, the Song family members nearby became quite excited and looked at each other in bewilderment.

At this time, Chen Zhiyao stood up again and took the initiative to take on this responsibility.

"Don't worry, I will take care of this matter!"

In this way, the problem has been preliminarily solved.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, although they were still a little worried.

Afterwards, Chen Zhiyao took everyone to their temporary residence - a not-so-small courtyard.

Jiang Yuannian introduced that this was his property and everyone could live there without feeling too constrained.

Jiang Jinhe looked at the environment carefully and found it quite nice.

The room layout is reasonable and the lighting is good, so I decided to settle here temporarily.

After all, it doesn’t matter if you don’t live here for long. If you plan to move away in the future, you don’t have to go through the trouble of selling the house.

If you really want to live here for a long time, it’s not too late to buy a bigger house then.

Anyway, I have enough funds on hand, so there is no need to worry too much.

At the same time, information about the Song family's actions had already been sent to Prince Chen Murong Xi.

As he listened to the information, he stroked his beard with a thoughtful look on his face.

Suddenly, he sat up straight, and with great interest, he stared at the person who reported the news and asked, "Did the girl really say that?"

"Back to Your Highness, it is indeed true."

The person who reported the news nodded and confirmed the news.

"Hahaha……"

Murong Xi suddenly laughed, his smile full of mockery and sarcasm, "How funny! It's like the king wants his subjects to die, and the subjects have no choice but to obey! This kind of awareness is really great!"

There was both admiration and deep amusement in his tone.

"Pass the order down, do everything according to this lady's request, no mistakes allowed!"

"Yes, Your Highness."

In fact, Jiang Jinhe never expected that her sarcastic words would sound different to Murong Xi.

For the ambitious Murong Xi, this sentence was more like an advance wish for him to ascend the throne as emperor as soon as possible.

You know, when his father was in power, any official who made a mistake was basically sentenced to death.

Three days later, under the constant urging of Chen Zhiyao and Jiang Yuannian, Jiang Jinhe finally went to Yuemanlou to report.

But this time she came here as a brand new shopkeeper, shouldering a unique mission.

The previous shopkeeper was named Chen Zhong, who was nearly fifty years old and looked very honest and kind.

He had a gray beard on his face, giving him a very trustworthy look.

However, he seemed to be under great pressure recently. The moment he saw Jiang Jinhe walk in, an expression of relief suddenly appeared on his face.

Without any hesitation, he immediately handed all the important items and account books to her and explained them in detail.

"These are all the financial records for the past three years, and this is the most recent year's transaction list. This is the key to the warehouse where all our valuables are stored."

Jiang Jinhe sat in the spacious office chair, listening to Chen Zhong's instructions one by one in a relaxed and comfortable manner, and showed no intention of looking through the account book immediately.

This made the honest man standing by feel a little confused.

After all, he had only heard from others that Miss Song was quite capable, so he was grateful from the bottom of his heart that she was willing to take on this hot potato.

Ever since he accepted this position three years ago, he has been subjected to harsh criticism and even abuse from King Chen. Especially when he has to submit accounts on time every month, he feels that he lives in fear and trepidation every day, as if walking on thin ice.

The joy in his heart at being able to relieve himself of the heavy responsibility at this moment was simply beyond words.

"Your name is Chen Zhong? I wonder if the word loyalty really is in that name?"

Hearing such straightforward and slightly provocative words, Chen Zhong almost instinctively knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

"Miss Song, please don't say such things. I am a hereditary servant of His Highness, and my entire family is loyal to His Highness..."

Chen Zhong explained eagerly, fearing that his position would be misunderstood.

His voice was full of loyalty and determination, as if to prove to the other party that he had absolutely no secrets.

Jiang Jinhe said "Oh" softly and fell silent. Her eyes were still clear and bright, but they made the people in front of her feel a little bit of pressure that was not easy to detect.

Chen Zhong felt a little uneasy.
