On the wedding night, the villain husband cried and his eyes turned red

Xu Shihuan stood up, took off his shoes and lay on the bed. She had been reading all day and talking to the third prince for a long time, and she was already exhausted.

Wen Yidi was not surprised by her appearance. He leaned down skillfully and placed the shoes in a position convenient for her to put them on, and then sat down obediently.

"By the way, how's the Hezhou cattle and sheep business going lately?"

Hearing Xu Shihuan ask about business, Wen Yidi quickly got up and went to get the account book. Seeing his serious look, Xu Shihuan felt more and more pleased with him.

Wen Yidi showed the ledger to Xu Shihuan before. In addition to the general ledger, he would also separate each sub-category into separate books. Based on the daily income and expenditure, he will also write his own analysis next to it.

Previously, Guan Shanyue was worried that Xu Shihuan would not be able to take care of the house after getting married, so he specially taught her the skills of managing the back house's accounts. Xu Shihuan's eyes were full of admiration when he heard this. But after seeing the accounts recorded by Wen Yidi, she understood what it means to make a small dwarf make a big witch.

She didn't know Wen Yidi well before. She only thought that this person was like water, and no marks would be left on his body if he was shot openly or secretly. Although gentleness is not a bad thing, it will inevitably make people think that he has no spine.

But after spending these days together, she seemed to slowly understand that Wen Yidi's gentleness was deliberately smoothed by the outside world. Only when he talks about doing business does he show his strong side.

"Most of the first batch of cattle and sheep sent from Hezhou have been sold, and the rest are raised in the village outside Wenjia City. The beef and mutton are used for cooking by Qiongxianlou and Zhenxiufang. Qiongxianlou's garlic beef cubes, Cumin mutton, Zhenfu Fang’s cold beef head, and mutton soup are all popular dishes in Yong’an City.”

Xu Shihuan hummed, indicating that he was listening. This Qiongxian Building has higher prices and is usually a place where dignitaries eat. The prices at Zhenxiufang are more friendly to the people. If ordinary people want to have a toothpaste, they can also accept a meal here.

The best beef and mutton are for the rich to enjoy, while the meat and other meat are for the common people to taste, which can be regarded as making the best use of everything.

"I also asked craftsmen to tan the cowhide and sheepskin that I peeled off. After a while, I should be able to make clothes, shoes and the like. By the way, there are also the cow bones and sheep bones, which are rare in our area. , I asked the jade carving master to pick some good ones and carve them into ornaments."

With that said, Wen Yidi handed the account book to Xu Shihuan. Xu Shihuan didn't get up, he just took the account book into his hand and flipped through it at will.

However, the more she looked at it, the more frightened she became, and she couldn't help but sit up. According to what Wen Yidi just said, only more than half of the first batch of cattle and sheep sent from Hezhou were sold, but the income in this account was more than 2 taels.

"Is this all the more than 20,000 yuan?"

Hearing Xu Shihuan's surprised tone, Wen Yidi's face showed a little pride, but he still said unhurriedly:

"Yes, it's all in the ledger. If we sell all the rest, it will be estimated to be 40,000 taels. However, I am prepared to only give 10,000 taels to Guan Jiajun."

Hearing this, Xu Shihuan was not too surprised. Businessmen value profits. Wen Yidi said before that she wanted to be 50-50 with Guan Jiajun, but she felt it was too much.

After all, making so much money relies on the Wen family's experience in business and being able to make the most of their cattle and sheep. If Guan Jiajun was allowed to handle the cattle and sheep by himself, he might not even be able to sell five thousand taels.

"Ten thousand for the Guan family, ten thousand for the Wen family, and keep the remaining twenty thousand taels yourself."

With that said, Wen Yidi put a 20,000 tael silver note directly into Xu Shihuan's hand.

Where has Xu Shihuan seen so much money? Even for the prime minister, his annual salary is only a thousand taels. Xu Weimin is not a corrupt official, but in order to live a decent life, he will not refuse all the filial piety from his subordinates. But even so, it is only nearly ten thousand taels of silver a year.

But Wen Yidi's move was only 20,000 taels!

Looking up again, Xu Shihuan couldn't see any joy on his face, but was rather solemn. Seeing her like this, Wen Yidi quickly explained:

"General Guan is not a man who can keep money. If there is too much money, there will inevitably be people in the military camp who have evil thoughts. At the winter solstice, I sent someone to send five thousand taels of silver. The cattle and sheep will be there next. Two batches, according to this situation, the Guan family army can get 30,000 taels. For them, it is enough."

With that said, Wen Yidi walked to the bed, sat down, and continued:

"The Wen family has no shortage of ways to sell cattle and sheep, but the Hezhou cattle and sheep cannot be bought by the Wen family with money. Just keep this money and it may be of great use in the future."

Xu Shihuan felt that this was inappropriate. She originally thought that this business was between the Wen family and the Guan family, and she was just a mediator. Looking at the current situation, she has become the one who benefits the most?

She thought for a moment and said:

"Do you want to change the lives of the Wen family?"

What met him was Wen Yidi's surprised expression, which looked really innocent. Xu Shihuan quickly turned his head to avoid being affected by his appearance and continued:

"Hezhou is sparsely populated, and the control over household registration is not strict. If the Wen family has clever children, they can go there and change their identities."

Xu Shihuan didn't make his words too clear. This matter was neither big nor small. If it were in Yong'an City, I'm afraid no one would want to be associated with a cheap businessman. But in Hezhou, a place where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, the Wen family can earn money for the soldiers, so it is not a bad idea to exchange the identities of a few children.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Yidi stood up, picked up a booklet, and handed it to Xu Shihuan's hand.

"The Wen family's children under the age of nine with good conduct are all recorded here. Can you see which ones are close to each other?"

Xu Shihuan took the booklet, flipped it through casually, and then raised his eyelids to look at Wen Yidi. I saw him staring straight at me, with some expectation and a bit of smile in his eyes.

Did he come prepared and just wait for him to speak out? He is indeed a profiteer!

"Miss, Mr. Wen, the bell is ringing!"

Outside the door, the sound of bells and the sound of hurried footsteps startled the two people in the room. These days were so comfortable that Xu Shihuan forgot about the bell.

Wen Yidi stood up quickly and rushed out without looking back. I saw the bell in the secret passage ringing non-stop, which was enough to tell how anxious the person on the other end was.

He didn't have time to think too much, he ducked into the secret passage and ran towards Qiongxian Tower.

Xu Shihuan was speaking secretly now, quietly looking at Wen Yidi's long-disappeared figure, feeling deeply uneasy in his heart. She had a strong feeling that such peaceful days seemed to be coming to an end.
