The Prime Minister's delicate wife can control her husband

Chapter 24 Exposed

Jiao Niang smiled slightly when she heard what he said, "How can this boy have so many evil thoughts!"

"It's actually quite simple. Qingwen, do you know what it is?" Jiao Niang asked Qingwen jokingly.

Qingwen's face flushed red, "Madam, I know what it is but I just can't say it, it's too filthy?"

"Qingwen, don't let your imagination run wild. Don't you do this every day?" Jiao Niang pointed at her.

"Ah? Madam, how could it be possible? Isn't it that?" Qingwen covered her mouth and dared not say anything further.

"Isn't it just closing your eyes and sleeping? Qingwen, tell me what you are thinking?"

After hearing Jiaoniang's answer, Qingwen thought about it and felt that it made sense. She hesitated for a long time and said, "Madam, I was thinking in the wrong way. Your answer is correct."

"I told you that you misunderstood me, and you still hit me?" Zhang Wuji complained unconvincedly. It's not that he couldn't beat Qingwen, but his father taught him not to hit women.

"It's because you are so young and smart that you misled everyone."

Qingwen didn't tolerate him at all and twisted his ear, "I'll beat you every time I hear you say that!"

"My sister didn't care about me, and yet you still care about me?" Zhang Wuji immediately lay on the ground and made a scene. Seeing that Jiao Niang was watching the show and no one was speaking for him, he immediately sat up again.

"Qingwen is right. If you understand the reason why a general's corpse is afraid of the cold and treacherous ministers disrupt the government, you will understand the importance of studying."

"Sister, what does this mean?"

After Jiao Niang explained it to him, Zhang Wuji looked disappointed, "Isn't this talking about Dad?" He calmed down and said with a look of understanding, "I will go and learn tomorrow, and don't say these words anymore."

"Qingwen, you take care of your brother for the next few days. I will come back to supervise you after I recover from my injury."

The atmosphere in the main room of the Yan Mansion was solemn. The whole family was discussing countermeasures. Master Yan, as the head of the family, spoke first, "The stock of medicine in our family's medicine store should be enough to cover the amount stored in the previous four years. We need to store six years' worth in the next five years."

"Dad, there are still so many stocks in the house. Are you trying to make your son happy?" Yan Da responded to him.

"There are so many. This is all thanks to the strategy of the third brother. During the time when he was in charge of the herb garden, he would buy more than 20% of the medicinal materials from the Holy Light Dynasty and stockpile them."

After hearing Master Yan's explanation, Yan Da was speechless. After all, the third brother's family helped the family survive the crisis.

"Dad, this is all thanks to Sheng'er. If he hadn't suggested it, I probably wouldn't have done it."

"Oh?" Master Yan's eyes lit up when he heard his words. Yan Da also saw Master Yan's favor for Yan Sheng. He was afraid that his position in the family would be lost and said, "I was wondering why there was something wrong with my family's money. It turns out that you embezzled it earlier!"

Although Yan Da did not bear a grudge against Jiao Niang, he still worked hard to help his eldest family get the opportunity to take the seal.

"Brother, during the time when my third brother's family was in charge of the herbal medicine shop, they spent the least and earned the most. They made the most profit among the three of us." Yan Er helped Yan San to fight back.

"No... Impossible! The Holy Light Dynasty is located in the north of the Great Zhou. The labor costs, transportation costs, and prices are much higher than our Great Zhou. How can it be profitable? I suspect that the third house has cooked the accounts! I hope Dad can see clearly."

Master Yan saw his unpromising eldest son and angrily scolded him, "At this time, you still want to fight to the death with the first wife? Sheng'er, explain to your uncle and let him give up."

In fact, Mr. Yan was also very curious about how Yan Sheng managed to maximize profits, and he had some doubts when he heard the second wife talking about the accounts.

"Grandpa, uncle, I used cheap goods to exchange for their premium goods. The Holy Light Dynasty relied on the fact that only their land was rich in ginseng and ganoderma lucidum, so they asked for high prices among several dynasties. These herbal medicine merchants are not stupid, so they will naturally only buy a small part, so most of them will be placed in the warehouse. The Holy Light Dynasty is located in the north and does not produce grain or cloth. So in the fall, I sent people to the Holy Light Dynasty to sell grain and cloth. These herbal medicine merchants are all wealthy families, and their family expenses are no less than our Yan Mansion, so they have to buy my food and cloth to survive the winter."

"If other businesses do the same, won't our family be at a loss?" Yan Da made his final rebuttal.

"Uncle, the Holy Light Dynasty is two months away from our Great Zhou. I will be the first to go there in the fall, and it will be winter when we get there. We will get there first and they will be able to accept the price. Three dou of grain for one ginseng, the price is almost the same as what we bought in the Great Zhou."

"Clap!"

When Master Yan heard Sheng'er's plan, he clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Third brother, you gave birth to a good baby."

Hearing Master Yan's praise, Yan San immediately petitioned the Third House to raise the remaining medicinal materials within five years.

Upon hearing this, Master Yan happily agreed and threw a badge from his waist, "I'll give you the Yan family token for safekeeping. You and the other two families will complete the remaining tasks together."

Yan Da's eyes almost popped out when he looked at the waist plaque. "I never thought that after working diligently for most of my life, I would be overtaken by a junior who used his cleverness to get ahead of me."

Yan Da was very dissatisfied and went to Master Yan to argue. Master Yan took out another token from his waist and said, "This is the token for managing the transport team. Although you are stubborn, you are still well-behaved. You should keep this token and don't lose it! You should learn more from your nephew."

Seeing his father handing the token to him, Yan Da was overjoyed, "I told you that your father has high hopes for his son! I will definitely work hard and live up to your trust."

"Go back, and remember to let your two sons and Yan Sheng learn from them."

"Yes dad!"

On his way back, Yan Da met Yan Er and showed Yan Er the token on his waist.

Yan Er was not to be outdone and took out another token. "You figure out the expenses for the fleet yourself. I won't pay for you." After saying that, he left.

"You...how can I hire someone if you don't give me money?!"

"Brother has many ways to raise money."

"What sin have I committed? Why did Dad give everyone a token? I thought only the third brother and I had one. At worst, I can raise the money myself. It's family money anyway." Yan Da said to himself, "I'll tell Dad after it's done. He will definitely praise me."

When Yan Sheng returned to the house, he saw Jiao Niang sleeping soundly. He took out the jade bottle from his waist and placed it on the head of Jiao Niang's bed. There were two or three pills in the jade bottle. He looked at Jiao Niang carefully and heard a slight panting sound from the back of the courtyard.

When Yan Lang arrived at the back of the courtyard, he saw Zhang Wuji holding a dagger and practicing stabbing. "Boy, you are doing well! Have you practiced martial arts for a few years before?"

Yan Lang limped over to him and looked at the dagger in his hand. "Border Sword? Are you from the border?"
