Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1153 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 79

The Fourth Prince thought about it and felt that this accounting method was more useful at the moment, so he immediately held the account book and started to check and study at the same time.

Yue Xing'a, who had been instructed by Jiang Xinxin to check out the Fourth Prince's character, couldn't help but admire in his heart when he saw the Fourth Prince's reaction: He is truly a prince.

He was still young when the previous generation of princes were fighting for the throne, and the Tong family trapped him in the inner house and did not allow him to go out, so he knew very little about what was happening in the outside world.

Moreover, even if he could go out freely at that time, most of his energy would be focused on protecting his mother Hesheli, and he had no time to take care of other things. But he only saw that Prince Lian and the Ninth Prince were directly imprisoned in the clan house, and before them Prince Zhi, Prince Li and Prince Cheng were imprisoned until death, and he knew how fierce and dangerous the fight for the throne was.

Yue Xing'a knew that he was barely an average man, otherwise why would he let his mother be turned into a human pig and suffer for so many years without relief or revenge?

Because he is not even as good as the Third Prince Hongshi, who is considered to be very unremarkable by the world. The Third Prince Hongshi is incompetent, but at least he has a recognized reputation for being loyal and honest. And judging from his understanding of the Third Prince, if a person like the Third Prince can have a reputation for being loyal and honest, it can be seen that he is not completely brainless.

The Fourth Prince could see the benefits of the accounting method at a glance and was even willing to give up the wool business, which was a huge benefit. This shows his character and determination.

Yue Xing'a really felt that although the Fourth Prince had nothing, based on his age, talent, and character, he would probably be the one most likely to make it to the end.

But he was not interested in taking sides with any prince. It was good enough for him to work with the Queen of Jingren Palace. Anyway, he hated the Tonggiya clan. The young people he was willing to promote were not valued at home and were even despised like him. They did not have a strong sense of belonging to the Tonggiya clan.

If possible, he even wanted to change his mother's surname to Hesheli. After all, the Hesheli family was now even more destitute than the Ulanara family.

However, it was impossible for Tong Jia clan to give up on him, a man who had no talent but was taken care of by the higher-ups, especially since he was the only legitimate grandson of Tong Jia clan and married the princess. Even if he moved to the princess's mansion, there would still be many people who wanted to curry favor with him.

In May, a large amount of wool from Mongolia was once again delivered to the suburbs of Beijing. This was the first time that the Mongolian tribes had sheared their sheep this year. People throughout Mongolia were eagerly looking forward to the arrival of winter so that they could have wool products that were extremely effective in keeping out the cold. At the same time, in addition to raising lambs and calves, they also baked the excess milk into milk powder and saved it for their own consumption in winter, as well as for raising children who were unfortunately born in winter.

The herdsmen were rarely seen smiling and looking forward to it, and the big fat orange was also going to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat.

When Big Fat Ju moved, the Queen Jiang Xinxin had to follow. Concubine Qi and Concubine Shen were left in the palace, and the others had to follow Big Fat Ju. This time, Jiang Xinxin chose the Bitong Library which was far enough away from Jiuzhou Qingyan.

Big Fat Orange was not going to take the conciliatory approach this time, and directly ordered Wan Fang Wan He. Jiang Xinxin didn't really care, but she put away the milk powder recipe that she was originally going to hand over. It was not until the Ninth Prince couldn't help but hand over a sign asking to see Jiang Xinxin that Big Fat Orange realized that Jiang Xinxin had actually made a milk powder recipe in secret.

Soon, Dapangju got the research results on milk powder. He then discovered that milk powder was so useful. It was not only used to feed livestock cubs during the winter when food was scarce, but even babies in swaddling clothes could make up for their congenital deficiencies to a certain extent after drinking milk powder. This was a great help to ordinary families who had little milk and could not afford a wet nurse!

Big Fat Ju originally wanted to forcibly take over the wool business from Jiang Xinxin. Now, milk powder is added to the mix. Even though this business is not as widespread as the wool business, it is difficult to use tough measures when they are combined. In addition, the Ninth Prince has already planned to surrender to Jiang Xinxin, and Big Fat Ju can gain the upper hand as a husband, so it is not easy for him to break off relations with Jiang Xinxin.

Negotiations should be conducted in a manner similar to negotiations. Moreover, in this tug-of-war, Big Fat Orange did not actually have much of an upper hand, and he was even less confident, so he honestly stated his bottom line: "The 20 shares that you promised to give to the Fourth Princess will remain unchanged, and you will keep 20% for yourself. The remaining 60% will be distributed by me, and I will also give a corresponding price based on the Fourth Princess's price. How do you think?"

Jiang Xinxin reminded Da Pangju: "Tell me your price first."

Big Fat Orange was indeed honest and directly stated his price: "I will transfer 4 million taels of silver from my private treasury to you to buy the remaining 60% of the shares. I know it seems that you are still at a disadvantage, but if I can help you to keep the 2% of the shares in your hands, it can be worth 2 million taels of silver."

This was indeed a fair price, but Jiang Xinxin had no use for so much silver, so she expressed her opinion: "I want to exchange this four million taels of silver in another way."

Big Fat Orange's mind raced, and he couldn't think of what Jiang Xinxin would use the four million taels of silver for, but he couldn't miss the opportunity, so he quickly asked, "I can't do everything. It seems that what the Queen wants is far more than the four million taels of silver."

"So, what does the Queen want?"

Hearing this series of names, Jiang Xinxin curled her lips secretly. Since Big Fat Orange had concerns and had no intention of agreeing to her conditions, then forget it. Anyway, the longer she kept the wool business, the more money she would earn.

"In that case, let's wait until the emperor has thought it through before we talk."

Big Fat Orange doesn't want to wait any longer. Now the court and the country are shaken, and the royal family is also in turmoil. Everyone wants to get involved in this new business, and he, the emperor, can't stop them.

"Queen, just tell me your conditions directly. If you raise the price, I can pay you back right away."

Jiang Xinxin smiled, "This is more like a negotiation. Don't deny everything right away. How can people start talking?"

"I don't want anything else. Four million taels of silver should be enough to buy a ready-made fleet and hire a thousand sailors to escort it. I want to organize a fleet to go out to sea, and also organize a caravan to travel from Junggar to Persia."

Big Fat Orange immediately looked at Jiang Xinxin with admiration. He had never expected that Jiang Xinxin was not obsessed with power and status at all, but actually wanted to open up a trade route to the West.

Seeing that Big Fat Orange was slow to speak, Jiang Xinxin didn't think of urging him, let alone explaining anything. She didn't believe that Big Fat Orange knew nothing about what she was thinking.
