Chapter 218 Arrangement, Suppression of Hehuan Tower
With the help given by Shen Xiangwan, Wei Chengyi and others had no time to rest and relax, and quickly returned to the study to discuss specific matters and arrange everything. As for the most important food and military pay, they had long forgotten about them. Except for Wei Chengyi, no one took Shen Xiangwan's words that he could solve the problem of food and pay to heart.
"How does Wanwan know so much?"
Finally, everything was arranged clearly. Yan Lang suddenly asked in confusion, the horseshoe, stirrup and Mo Dao could barely be said to be her own idea, but how to explain the advanced smelting technology and the method of infusing steel? Moreover, from her previous performance, it was clear that she had seen and even used those things a long time ago, which was all weird.
After he said that, Qingying Yanjun Ling and others also thought of this. If they were just suspicious before, now they are really sure that Shen Xiangwan has a secret!
"She had an adventure. I can't tell you what it was for now."
Wei Chengyi's expression froze, his attitude was unquestionably strong. Little Lai Pi was a smart person, he couldn't be unaware that her taking out so many things would definitely arouse suspicion, but for him, she still took them out. Since there was no way to explain it, then there was no need to explain it. No matter what, he would help her keep the secret and not give others the opportunity to continue exploring.
"Ah."
No one present was stupid. Seeing his attitude, they all knew that it was a secret they could not get involved in, at least not now. However, they were not the kind of people who insisted on digging into the matter. As long as everything was beneficial to them, it was fine.
After making sure that they would not continue, Wei Chengyi also restrained his momentum: "Qingying, you will go back to the barracks tomorrow and take charge. Bring a few more guards. You must not let the horseshoes, stirrups, swords, and smelting technology leak out. Junling, you will also work with him to be responsible for external affairs. In addition, pick out the old and weak soldiers and put all the new recruits into training. Those who cause trouble will be dealt with by military law."
No one knows better than Wei Chengyi that in order to transform the current scattered army into an invincible iron-blooded strong army, some tough measures must be used. Wanwan has already given them enough powerful soldiers and weapons. If they have not taken any action, they would be betraying her trust. Moreover, it is time for them to reorganize the army. At the latest in the early spring of next year, they will most likely face their first battle.
"Yes."
Qingying and Yan Junling, who were named, nodded at the same time. Yan Lang frowned and said, "Do you want to lay off all the old, weak and disabled soldiers? Then how do you solve the problem of the salary owed to them?"
It's not that they don't have the guts, it's just that they owe too much to the soldiers. Moreover, if the army lays them off, they will need to provide a certain amount of money as severance pay, which is not a small amount. They can't invest all the money they have in it, right? Without money, how will they operate in the future? You know, they want more than just military power.
"Don't rush this matter, I need to discuss it with Wanwan."
Wei Chengyi raised his hand to stop Qingying and the others who also wanted to say something. He seemed calm, but in fact he blocked their mouths. Others didn't know, but didn't he? There was plenty of food in Wanwan's space. As for money, he didn't know how much it was, so he needed to discuss it with Wanwan. They were husband and wife, and he would not suffer for the sake of face. When it was time to ask his wife for help, he would never be polite.
Everyone looked at each other, all confused as to why he had to discuss this with Shen Xiangwan. Could she really solve the problem of food and military pay? Don't blame them for not believing it. The main reason was that the hole was too big, it was simply a bottomless pit. Otherwise, how could they be stumped?
That night, Wei Chengyi told Shen Xiangwan about the food and military pay. When he saw the mountains of gold and silver treasures in the space, he was shocked. The next day, Wei Chengyi took Qingying and Yan Junling away with them. Yuan Xiu, who had stayed behind, also left with them. This time he brought a large number of glass products made in the workshop, and planned to discuss with Cheng Yusheng, who was in charge of business, about selling them.
"We have to think of a way to make money." In the small study, Shen Xiangwan lay on the recliner with her eyes slightly narrowed. From the time she traveled through time until now, she had never lacked money. The repeated purchases for free had allowed her to accumulate a large amount of wealth. But a few days ago, she gave Wei Chengyi one million taels of silver at once, and she allowed him to produce as much food as he wanted. Even though she was still not short of money, she also had the idea of preparing for a rainy day.
"By the way, how's the Happy House?"
Suddenly remembering this, Shen Xiangwan asked casually. As early as the third day after reaching an agreement with Yue Ruyan, she gave Yuan Xiu a large amount of skin-whitening and rejuvenating ointment and asked him to send someone to deliver it to Yue Ruyan at Huanxi Tower. Considering the time, there should be some effect.
"After receiving the ointment, Huanxi Tower closed for a day. On that day, almost all of their original customers went to Hehuan Tower. In order to keep them, Shen Xiangyue even performed a dance in person and gained a large number of supporters. Just when they thought that Huanxi Tower would be crushed this time, Huanxi Tower opened again and brought a huge surprise to everyone. The appearance of each girl improved a lot. Not only did their original customers go back, but even the customers of Hehuan Tower were attracted to it. In just a few days, the girls of Huanxi Tower made those people crazy and came every day. The arrogance of Hehuan Tower was suppressed as a result."
Yuan Yue, who had been accompanying her in the small study, smiled and said, "It must be said that a woman who can open a brothel cannot be someone who is easy to deal with. Yue Ruyan's action of closing and reopening the door has undoubtedly earned enough attention. The transformation of the girls has completely turned the attention into a source of customers."
"Where's Shen Xiangyue? How did she react?"
Hearing this, Shen Xiangwan also curled up the corners of her lips. Only by constantly forcing Shen Xiangyue and reducing her advantages would she panic and reveal her true colors. Once the identities of those who tried to kill her were confirmed, she would be able to eradicate them completely.
"According to the information sent back by the guards who were monitoring her, her mood has been very unstable in the past few days. She has beaten and killed several maids in succession. Xie Yunyun, who was sold to Hehuan Tower with her, was tortured to the point of only having her last breath left."
Yuan Yue despised people like Shen Xiangyue from the bottom of her heart, but she still had to say what needed to be said: "In addition, Huang Jingshu, the favorite son of the prefectural magistrate, fell in love with her at first sight and has repeatedly expressed his willingness to redeem her. The guards are investigating whether he was the one who sent people to kill you."
"Oh?"
Is he the most beloved son of the magistrate of the government office?
Raising an eyebrow, Shen Xiangwan's eyes flickered. He didn't expect that people from the government office were involved. Things seemed to be becoming more and more interesting.
