Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

Xie Zhaozhao's eyebrows curved.

This was the first time that she did not hide it from him, and the couple teamed up to cheat someone together.

She was looking forward to it.

The old nobleman Wei had five generations living together and more than 300 descendants. He had two queens, and seeing that Wei Chuchu was the third queen, the old nobleman was destined to have a grand funeral.

Duke Cheng'en took advantage of his mother's funeral to win over court officials, while secretly discussing the early ascension of the crown prince to the throne.

The prince's health is getting worse and worse, like a skeleton, and it is likely that he will not be able to live to see Emperor Hui die.

Lord Cheng'en had no intention of paying attention to what Lord Roudan was doing.

Princess Roudan also didn't want him to know. As a royal princess, how could she be controlled by Duke Cheng'en?

I also cannot tell my father about the opening of the Silk Road. He has never liked me and if he knew, he would definitely try to stop it.

Princess Roudan had never been one to observe etiquette, but she only showed up at the old lord's funeral.

He negotiated and inspected the fleet with Old Wu every day, hiding it from the Wei family and the imperial court.

But Old Wu said that the fleet did not belong to him alone, and it was impossible for Princess Meat and Egg to get the goods for free, as they did not even have enough to sell on their own.

So, if Princess Roudan wanted to join forces and build their Maritime Silk Road, she had to prepare her own ship, cargo, helmsman, and guards.

Even so, they still had to charge a guide fee of 300,000 taels. After all, a route was explored at the cost of human lives and property.

Three hundred thousand taels of silver is no problem for the guide fee, and Princess Roudan doesn’t lack that little money, but the boat is a bit troublesome.

Buying a ship is not like buying a carriage. Although Daqian had sixteen shipbuilding factories, the imperial canal transportation and private canal transportation developed rapidly, and the shipbuilding speed could not keep up.

I wanted to buy a boat but couldn't.

Watching the trade route, I felt anxious.

But Old Wu gave her another piece of bad news: "There are several trading companies that have found us through various connections to cooperate. Princess, if you don't have a ship, we will have no choice but to..."

I'm sorry!

Shen Su was very unhappy: "You have to give the princess some time. Isn't Sihai Pavilion going to auction the ship? My princess is preparing to bid."

"Ah, those two Shenzhou ships? To be honest, if someone wants to take a picture of them, please cooperate with us immediately. Next month, we will go to sea again." Old Wu's family.

"Si Hai Pavilion is going to auction the Shenzhou," Princess Roudan said arrogantly, "I will go and buy it. Do they dare to compete with me for the profit?"

"Princess, you don't often go to auction houses, do you? These two ships have been watched by others for a long time, and they are fully prepared. Princess, you..."

"Don't worry, I'm not short of money!"

"Those two large ships are very famous. They are the sacred ships that the six nations today must fight for. I heard that Nanzhao is determined to get them. The one who came is a chieftain who is quite wealthy."

Princess Roudan said disdainfully: "The Nanzhao Kingdom dares to compete with me? Humph, you overestimate your own abilities!"

"Everyone in the world is busy seeking profit. Even Tubo wants to get a piece of the overseas trade route." Old Wu said quietly, "I heard that the Tubo princess is also very familiar with Madam Gu."

"Oh, Xie Zhaozhao actually wants to do business in this way!" Princess Roudan was immediately annoyed.

Xie Zhaozhao, just wait, I will crush you into pieces.

She wanted to get both boats at all costs.

Ask Shen Su to sign up immediately.

Shen Su had just gotten off the carriage at the Sihai Pavilion registration place when he saw a maid and a lady wearing a veil getting off a carriage next to him.

Although the face of the lady wearing a veil could not be seen, Shen Su recognized the maid. It was Yuanyuan, the maid of Madam Gu.

The maid was still sneaky. She got off the carriage and hurriedly covered her face with a veil.

Tsk, you're still covering your face, I saw it a long time ago! Shen Su remained calm and followed them quickly.

I eavesdropped on them asking about the boat auction in Sihai Pavilion.

Those who can participate in the ship auction are all insiders, and are extremely wealthy and well-known.

Not only was the registration kept confidential, but even on the day of the auction, no one met each other.

Bidders have a special secret door passage and each has a private room on the second floor with a shadowless gauze hanging at the door. Only the room number is called out, and the bidders' personal information is not exposed.

Shen Su felt that he had discovered a big secret, and when he returned to the princess's mansion, he immediately told Princess Roudan the secret with exaggeration.

Princess Roudan cursed: "You are such a good fellow, Xie Zhaozhao, you said you don't understand the Silk Road and don't want to do business... Bah!"

Princess Roudan originally didn't want to go to the auction in person, but now she has changed her mind.

Not only does he want to defeat Xie Zhaozhao completely, but he also wants to expose Xie Zhaozhao's true colors of being an official's family member doing business on the spot and let the censors impeach Gu Shaoyu.

Shen Su said, "Your Highness, those two ships are very large and advanced. I went to the Ministry of Works to inquire about them today. Those two Shenzhou ships took ten years to build. People from the Ministry of Works have visited them and they are very sturdy."

Both Shenzhou ships were built at the Mingzhou Shipyard, and their shipbuilding capabilities are at the highest level in the world today.

One was called Anji Shenzhou and the other was called Kangji Shenzhou. Each ship had 180 sailors and a carrying capacity of 30,000 hu (more than 1,500 tons), and cost more than 4 million taels of silver.

The deposit required when registering is 200,000 yuan.

Shen Su said to Princess Roudan, "The starting price of these two ships is 100,000 taels. I think it will definitely be more than 5 million taels."

Princess Roudan asked him to call Old Wu and ask him about the market conditions for ship leasing and selling.

Old Wu is knowledgeable and said, "This is a brand new ship. The competitors are very prominent and the price may exceed 10 million at any time. Princess, you must buy it, so prepare some more banknotes."

Jin Feng asked Lao Wu, "If this ship is fully loaded with goods, how much do you think you can earn?"

Old Wu said honestly, "I have a boat of my own, with sixty boatmen, which is considered big. Every time I bring back goods, I can earn about 10 million strings of silver. The Shenzhou ship is much bigger than mine, so I can earn at least 30 million taels of silver from one boat, right?"

Thirty million taels, my God, if you don’t open for three years, you can make enough money for thirty years after you open it.

Jin Feng thought to herself, my princess is going to become famous all over the world this time.

"So, as long as the ship returns safely, we can make back our investment in one go?"

"Of course. There were violent storms at sea and many small boats were lost. It's reasonable to make a hundred times the profit."

Old Wu said solemnly, "The route that my fleet has explored is the safest. We have not had a single shipwreck in the past six years. I am not short of money. If Her Royal Highness the Princess had not wanted to bid for it, I would have also wanted to compete for it."

Princess Roudan was overjoyed when she heard this and said to Jinfeng, "Bring enough banknotes and bid for Shenzhou."

Jin Feng also had a very strong waist and replied, "Yes, Princess."

That night, Princess Roudan's mansion sent out a signal.

Two masters who came and went without a trace quickly came to the princess's study and stood in front of her desk.

Wearing an extremely large black-brimmed hat, his face could not be seen, and his throat uttered a ghostly voice: "Princess, please give me your orders!"

Princess Roudan had someone guarding the study room. She looked at the two men and asked, somewhat lacking confidence, "The mansion is in urgent need of money. How much do you have?"

The two men were stunned and quickly glanced at Princess Roudan.

"How much does your highness want?"

"Twenty million taels."

"Have!"

"I will need it in five days. Can you prepare it?"

"Yes! I will deliver the banknotes to the princess tomorrow."

After the two men left, Princess Roudan clenched her fist happily and shouted "Yeah~".

"Jinfeng, help me take a bath."

In the past, even five hundred taels of silver were hard to come by, but now twenty million taels is just a piece of cake. It’s so damn cool to be a member of the royal family!

No, she will be richer in the future. She wants to be the richest person in the world.

Now that I have money, I will recruit soldiers and horses and become the queen!

The chubby princess holds up her two big breasts. Oh, what a treasure.

Gu Shaoyu, how about serving me?

Yin Jinan, I must tame you. Be obedient and I will make you my imperial husband!
