The villain read my mind and aborted me in my mother's womb. The team begged me not to die.

Ye Chen said to Ye Qianqian.

"Let's go back too."

"Ok!"

After Zhou Yanyan returned home, she immediately told Wei Rong her psychological thoughts.

"Mom, I want to learn how to do business!"

Wei Rong was startled after hearing this.

"Why are you suddenly thinking about doing business? Haven't you always wanted to win the favor of the third prince?!"

Zhou Yanyan waved her hands and said.

"Mother, don't worry so much. I have no feelings for the third prince anymore! I just want to make money now!"

Wei Rong frowned.

"But you have never learned how to do business, so how can you get started immediately?"

"I can learn. With my intelligence, I will definitely succeed!"

"Mom, please send me to my uncle and let me learn from it!"

"Maybe I can help our family become more wealthy!"

Wei Rong nodded.

"Okay, since you are no longer chasing love, let's give it a try in business."

"Ok!"

Then Wei Rong took Zhou Yanyan to her parents' house.

Wei Rong's family is in the rice business.

It can be said that he is currently the most powerful rice merchant in Dayuan.

Zhou Yanyan was very proud.

Isn't this a coincidence?

It just so happens that the court needs rice to help the people.

Then I will do this business.

Then the goods cannot be shipped.

Let the treasury release food.

Wait until the food in the treasury is almost full.

You have to come and beg me.

By the time.

Ye Chen's face looks much better!

Ye Chen, Ye Chen, I want you to bow to me one day!

Wei Ming learned that Zhou Yanyan had been buying rice to help people during this period.

It is inevitable to have opinions.

"I said Yanyan, our family is a rice merchant and we make money by selling rice."

"You buy rice from our homes and give it to the people for free."

"Then how much money will you lose?"

"Whether those untouchables can have food or not has nothing to do with us. Why do you care so much about them?"

"The more times this happens, the more time we can make money! Don't you know what the national crisis means?"

Zhou Yanyan said immediately.

"Uncle, I was ignorant in the past and missed such a good opportunity to make money!"

"Now that I'm awake, I know that the more times this happens, the more time we can make money. Now I want to make back all the rice I gave to those untouchables like an idiot. I want to make Ye Chen I regret why I was not chosen in the beginning.”

Wei Ming heard something.

"So now is the time when you are driven by love and want to take revenge?"

"Yes!" Zhou Yanyan nodded.

"I just want to take revenge on them!"

"I want revenge on Ye Chen, revenge on Ye Qianqian, and revenge on everyone named Ye!"

Wei Ming whispered.

"Don't say this nonsense, don't let anyone hear it!"

"However, I also support your approach."

"You know, when there was a disaster before, the emperor asked us rice merchants to open warehouses to stockpile grain, which caused us a lot of losses. I have always been worried about this matter!"

Wei Rong said something.

"But brother, even so, we still made money in the end. Moreover, the court exempted us from a lot of taxes that year. I think it's better not to be too greedy."

Wei Ming frowned and said.

"What do you know?"

"What's the use of the tax concession?"

"You have to know that the price of rice was very tight at that time. I could have stocked up and sold it at a high price!"

"The amount of money I will have to earn by then will be ten times more than the taxes exempted by the emperor! Do you think I can swallow this breath?"

"Now, there are still many victims."

"This is a good opportunity for me to make back what I lost before."

"Now, I won't sell this rice, I want to stock up!"

"Even if the emperor's order comes, I have to say that I have no goods. When the time comes, the court will have nothing to do with me."

"Unless the imperial court comes up with money to buy it, I will release some goods."

"You should never underestimate the money in the court. Just the gold mine dug out every year is enough to buy me a hundred times the rice. I just increased the price ten times. The court is rich and does not care about this at all. For a little money."

"Hmph, even if they put money in the treasury, they won't produce rice. No matter how much money they have, if there is no rice, don't they have to find me in the end?"

"Aren't you afraid that the court will arrest you if they find out you are hoarding goods?" Wei Rong asked back.

"Brother, I still think that when we do business, we should do business based on our conscience, rather than focusing on money. If this continues, I'm really afraid that we will suffer the consequences!"

"Huh huh, you woman, you really have long hair and short knowledge! You don't understand anything! Yanyan, what do you think?"

Zhou Yanyan said immediately.

"I agree with my uncle's approach!"

"The imperial court has always wanted to use our goods to please those untouchables. In the end, our good reputation has been taken away by the imperial court, but we have to lose a lot of money! Such a imperial court really wants to overthrow him!"

Wei Rong was so frightened that she immediately covered Zhou Yanyan's mouth.

"Yanyan, don't say this nonsense."

"This is a head-turning thing!"

Zhou Yanyan took away Wei Rong's hand.

"Okay, I'm just talking."

"Mom, please leave my uncle and me alone. Now, my uncle and I have the same attitude. We are on the same front!"

Wei Rong sighed.

"Hey, isn't it good to just do business honestly? Why do you have to think that the more money you have, the better?"

"The money we have at home is now at least several million taels. Even if we spend a lot of money every day, it will be enough for ten lifetimes. Why are you still so greedy?"

"So you will never make a fortune!" Wei Ming said.

Ye Qianqian saw all this from the illusion.

Sighed.

"Hey, I thought Zhou Yanyan would use such good means to do business. It turns out that she wanted to use this to leverage the imperial court's money."

"The imperial court has a lot of money, but my father is not stupid either. Why should I give it to you ten times the price?"

Because Wei Ming is hoarding goods.

In the market, rice soon became much less available.

Ye Chen also told Ye Ling about this matter.

"Father, now the Wei family is stocking up on goods."

"Rice on the market is in short supply right now. The price has increased five times, and will increase to ten times or more in the future!"

Ye Ling nodded.

"I'm not surprised at all that the Wei family would do something like this!"

Ye Chen felt a little guilty.

"Father, I also made mistakes. If I didn't take advantage of Zhou Yanyan——"

Ye Ling interrupted him.

"Chen'er, this matter has nothing to do with you, even without the entanglements between you and Zhou Yanyan."

"Driven by profit, the Wei family will also increase the price of rice a lot."

"I have issued an imperial decree before, and no rice merchants are allowed to stockpile goods."

"Once discovered by me, it will be a serious crime of beheading!"

"So, as long as we find the place where the Wei family stores their goods and find everything, then the Wei family's charges will be proven! By then, they won't be able to run away!"

Ye Chen nodded.

"It's just that my father, if the Wei family's business has grown so big, it must have been in collusion with the court officials!"

Ye Ling nodded.

"Yes, we have to start from within the imperial court and find the officials who colluded with the Wei family!"

Ye Qianqian decided to investigate the matter.

She disappeared into Wei Ming's home.

Thinking of finding articles from the ledger.

Those who collude with officials like this will definitely bribe court officials.

If the ledger can be found, there will be evidence.

But Ye Qianqian didn't know where the account book was.

Just at this time.

somebody is coming.

It happens to be evening now.

Anyone who comes to Wei Ming at this time must have no good intentions.

Ye Qianqian soon saw a man in a cloak walking in.

After seeing him.

Ye Qianqian was stunned.

"Shang Shu?"

After the previous Minister of Household Affairs retired and returned to his hometown, the new Minister of Household Affairs, Chen Qiang, worked for less than half a year.

Ye Qianqian never expected it.

Chen Qiang actually colluded with Wei Ming.

Ye Qianqian listened carefully.

"Master Chen came to visit late at night. What do you mean?"

"Wei Ming, I got news today that the emperor is going to let rice merchants release grain. Rice must not be sold at twice the usual price."

"If you calculate it this way, you will lose a lot."

Wei Ming nodded.

"Oh? Is this serious?"

"The little eunuch next to the emperor told me personally. There is no mistake."

Wei Ming nodded.

"Just in time, I'm ready to stock up!"

"Mr. Chen, this news comes just in time."

At this moment, Zhou Yanyan walked in.

After seeing her, Chen Qiang was a little nervous.

"this--"

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, this is my niece, she is one with us."

Zhou Yanyan said.

"Master Chen, I think we shouldn't stock up now."

"Oh why?"

Ye Qianqian knew that something was definitely not going to happen.
