Military Marriage: Boss, my sister-in-law got beaten up again

Chapter 988: Everyone Wants to Grab the Good Things

"The recipe has been given to you. It's up to you. When I was in the palace, I was thinking about letting more people know about this thing. I happened to meet Chen Beibei and gave him a bottle. I didn't expect that he would also want to get involved." Gu Yao said lightly.

"Don't even mention Chen Beibei from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Even other people would want to get involved if they saw such a good thing. Anyone who knows about the good thing would want to snatch it away! My sister let me distribute such a good thing. That's because my sister trusts me. I, Si Chen, will definitely make a lot of money for my sister." Si Chen said with a smile.

"I heard that you donated a lot of food. Sister, do you regret doing so much for the people? I feel a little reluctant for you, because those are the foods that are in short supply now." Si Chen blinked and looked at Gu Yao.

"If I donate this grain, more people can have two more meals. If I donate it, many people may die because of this little grain, which is not what I want to see. Besides, I am a businessman, and I am not at a disadvantage. They are promoting my workshop in disguise. The grain is worth donating, and more people will know us. Our business will get better and better in the future."

"What's wrong with merchants? If there were no merchants, how would ordinary people live? So many officials in the capital city can't get enough food. Goods can't circulate from the south to the north or from the north to the south. Even if you have money, you can't eat good food. Look at all the good things in our palace. They are all brought to our palace by merchants from all over the world."

Si Chen kept listing the advantages of being a businessman.

Gu Yao didn't expect Si Chen to defend him like this.

Merchants are at the bottom of the list, and are disliked, loved, and hated by many people.

The princess spoke of the many advantages of being a businessman.

Gu Yao felt warm in her heart.

"Sister Yao, this business is not possible for the two of us. I am an unmarried girl now. Someone with a more important status must come to do this business. Guess who I found?" Si Chen raised his eyebrows and asked Gu Yao to guess.

"How can I guess? You, the princess, know so many people, so don't keep me in suspense." Gu Yao giggled.

"I found my uncle and gave him 40% of the shares. My aunt, the eldest princess, gave him 20%. And you have 10%. The rest is mine." Si Chen laughed.

Gu Yao was stunned and covered her mouth. She whispered, "Are you looking for the current emperor and the eldest princess?"

"Yes! I used this thing once and I knew it would be a big seller in the future. But the outside world has been turbulent recently. Let's wait until next year when things are stable before we do business properly. What can Chen Beibei you mentioned do? She's just a concubine's daughter. Even if we give her too much, she can't help much. With my uncle here, whatever I want to do in the future will be handled easily. The eldest princess can also come forward to help. If there is anything, she can help deal with it. Such a profitable business will definitely attract a lot of people's eyes, and ordinary people can't protect this recipe at all. No one dares to snatch the business of the emperor and the eldest princess."

She also felt that what Si Chen said made sense.

Gu Yao had dinner at the palace and wanted to leave.

Si Chen pulled her by the hand: "Sister Yao, I really don't want you to leave. I'm bored at home alone. And I don't like seeing other people. Why don't you live in our palace and stay with me."

"You are a princess now, you can't be so willful. The world is so chaotic now. It's not appropriate for me to live in the palace. There is a workshop over there. You stay in the palace well. If there is anything interesting, I will send someone to tell you. I will write to you." Gu Yao coaxed gently.

"Okay then!" There was a cunning look in Si Chen's eyes.

Gu Yao was having lunch at the palace at noon and found that the palace was not affected at all.

Delicious dim sum and various meat dishes can be seen on the table.

It's just a little less than the previous portion.

This table of delicious food is much better than what we have at home.

Gu Yao felt that he was worrying for nothing.

-

She wanted to go out and take a look early the next morning.

Xiao Zhen and Xiao Yi followed her towards the city gate.

When I arrived at the city gate, I saw a huge crowd of refugees outside the city. They were all so hungry that their skin and bones were visible, and their faces were sallow, like zombies.

Gu Yao felt heavy in the heart.

This situation has spread to the capital. I don't know how many people have died outside.

I don't know what the donations of money and goods some time ago look like. I guess it's just a drop in the bucket.

Gu Yao's face was tense and she looked unhappy.

"Miss, this is a natural disaster, don't be so sad." Xiao Zhen couldn't help but feel soft in his heart when he saw Gu Yao's ugly face.

"It is true that it is a natural disaster, but the fact that so many disaster victims flocked to the capital shows how badly the officials are doing their job. The world is really in chaos." Gu Yao had a serious and expressionless face.

Xiao Zhen was also in a bad mood.

He doesn't even know whether his parents are dead or alive.

It's so cold over there in Mobei, and there's a temporary shortage of food now. I don't know if I can survive.

It’s extremely cold over there, and it’s freezing weather.

It was still summer when they left, and they were wearing thin clothes without any thick clothes.

He was worried that his parents would really freeze to death in Mobei.

He secretly found someone to buy a batch of noodles and vermicelli and sent them to Mobei.

These things are easy to store and will not go bad even if they are transported to Mobei.

If my parents were still alive, they would also be able to have something hot to eat.

He hasn't received the letter yet. What's going on with his parents?

"Miss, because it is a natural disaster, it is safest to stay in the city. If there is anything that needs to be done, just arrange for the people below to do it. You can give me instructions directly." Xiao Zhen said with a serious face.

"There are so many people guarding me and I can't do anything. If you need anything, just ask me and I will try my best to help you. If you have relatives, friends or family here, I can help you. I can lend you some food. You can pay it back next year when you have time." Gu Yao knew that there were so many victims of the disaster and he couldn't help much.

If more people knew that he still had a lot of food, he would die without knowing how he died.

Even if the emperor knew about this, he would not let him live.

The Yuan family can no longer supply food to the outside world.

They are also the largest grain business in the country.

If his brother-in-law took out too much food, he would die without knowing how he died.

The Yuan family wanted to raise the price of grain some time ago.

The emperor issued an edict that merchants who raised the price of grain would be fined and their property would be confiscated.

This calmed down the restless hearts of many grain merchants.
