Chapter 531 Negotiation Part 2

"Your Highness, are you really going to disband Reijingsi?"

Sitting in the carriage returning to the palace, Zhiyuan couldn't help asking.

Ning Chuchu suddenly sighed, and seemed to relax, and suddenly became listless.

"Actually what he said is right!"

"A hundred years ago, Prime Minister Shang established Li Jingsi because there were many people who were greedy for Zhang and abused the law at that time, and even the Imperial City Department was not spared."

"Prime Minister Shang used a brand new Lijingsi to arrest or assassinate corrupt officials in the world. The method he used was just as Li Chenan said, it was called a chaotic world, and he should use a heavy punishment!"

"But the situation has changed a lot now... It's not that there are fewer corrupt officials, but that Ji Tai is in power and uses fish and dragons to restrain or even suppress Li Jingsi, which makes Li Jingsi unable to punish the same as a hundred years ago."

"Besides, the current Imperial City Department is different from the one hundred years ago under the leadership of Mr. Changsun. Although the Imperial City Department has not made any major moves in recent years, the spies scattered across the country in secret are collecting evidence of the officials."

"Mr. Changsun is probably waiting for an opportunity, but I or the prince's brother don't know."

"In such a situation, Li Jingshi really doesn't have much need to exist."

Zhiyuan pursed her lips, "But Your Highness, the Crown Prince, can't live without Li Jingsi now."

"Yes, so I still can't disband for the time being, so I have to make money first!"

Speaking of making money, Ning Chuchu's eyes lit up and her whole body was filled with fighting spirit again.

She said excitedly to Zhiyuan: "The profitable industries he mentioned... the money shop is too troublesome, and I don't have anyone who knows how to manage finances."

"The copper and iron business is also very troublesome. The mining of copper and iron ore is in the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Works is in the hands of Ji Tai."

"Salt has to find the salt well... He said he could also use sea water to make salt... I can tell my grandfather about this. Now those uncles have gone to the island in the East China Sea, and there is endless sea water, but it takes too long."

"As for tea and silk, it takes about half a year to travel between Yue or Wu."

"Oh, it's really the fastest I've snatched..."

"Zhijia, who do you think we'll go and rob first?"

Zhiyuan was stunned, "Your Highness, there are many wealthy families in Kyoto... Didn't Mr. Li have a grudge with the Huo family? The head of the Huo family came to Beijing to discuss marriage with the Sixth Princess. He should have brought a lot of betrothal gifts, or... or snatched the Huo family first?"

Ning Chuchu's eyes lit up, "Okay! After returning to the palace, you call Yuheng and Kaiyang to my princess's mansion. Let's take advantage of this Mid-Autumn night to do it first!"

...

...

Ning Chuchu was planning the first major thing she wanted to do in her life at the Princess's Mansion.

Huo Xi never expected that disaster would fall from the sky!

He had already come out of Concubine Li's palace, led by a small eunuch, and came to his carriage waiting here.

"Go to the Duke of Yan's Mansion!"

He gave the coachman an order, and he and his grandson Huo Shufan got on the carriage.

"This matter is finally safe. Just wait for the emperor to issue an order. Although we are calling you as the prince consort, there must be rules among the people... Grandpa has transferred a lot of money from Guangling City, and at that time he will be sent to the prince consort's mansion in the name of enlisting the sect."

Huo Shufan lowered his head and muttered: "Grandpa, the Sixth Princess...she doesn't allow me to take a concubine!"

"Since that's the case, we don't need to guess what their purpose is. We just need to follow them and do what they told us!"

"After you become the sixth princess's son-in-law, Concubine Li is your mother-in-law. She has no reason to make you let her daughter be a widow!"

"The grandson knows."

The carriage continued to move forward, and the carriage became quiet.

After a while, Huo Xi said to Huo Shufan again: "You have to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival literary meeting because the emperor will go."

"Okay, grandson should do his best!"

"Well, tomorrow I will go to the Honglu Temple to visit Mr. Wei Xuanmo, the great scholar of Yue Kingdom, Wei!"
