Chapter 162 Development
Jiang Feng's face darkened. That's right. His father came from a poor family. How could he have any wealth?
When Jiang Yao got married, wasn't the ten-mile-long red dowry all stolen from Fang's?
Gao Wenxuan's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. His wife's dowry was actually snatched from her sister-in-law?
If this matter gets out, how will he save face?
Jiang was so angry that she was about to go to heaven and then to the next Buddha: "Why don't you return it to Marquis Jing'an quickly!"
Jiang Yao was filled with shame and indignation. She cried out and rushed back to her room, crying.
Gao Wenxuan had no choice but to accompany the three Jiang brothers to the warehouse to get Jiang Yao's dowry with a blushing face.
He also returned all of Jiang Yao's valuable jewelry and head ornaments to the Jiang family.
The three Jiang brothers then went to Yu's house and handled the matter in the same way.
Finally, after calculations by the accountants of Longmen Trading Company, they recovered property worth 50,000 taels!
Jiang Li was quite surprised. She smiled and said to Manager Liu, "I didn't expect that the three brothers would be so efficient."
"Uncle Liu, please tell them that the Jiang family still owes me 50,000 taels of silver. If my brothers are willing to work at Longmen Trading Company and pay off the debt, please make arrangements for them."
When the three Jiang brothers heard that they could join Longmen Trading Company, they hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
They were not as good at studying as Jiang Xiuyuan. Jiang Feng and Jiang Song only passed the imperial examination and became scholars, while Jiang Huai is still a student. His hope of becoming an official through the imperial examination is slim.
There are only a few ways to become an official in the Great Chu: imperial examination, favor from ancestors, recommendation, and making achievements.
Longmen Trading Company has the emperor's support. If it does well, it might be able to become an official like Shen Muchun and Mo Qilang.
When Mrs. Zhao and the other three ladies heard that their husbands had hooked up with their younger sister Jiang Li, they couldn't help but be overjoyed. This was a great opportunity to get closer to their younger sister!
The future Prince of Jing'an has been decided, right?
When Jiang Xiuyuan heard this and saw that Jiang Li was willing to give his brothers a chance, he felt mixed emotions.
He sighed and said, "That's fine. To put it bluntly, Longmen Trading Company is the private bank of the current emperor. You guys must not act recklessly in the future and bring disaster to your sister!"
"Yes, I will follow my father's instructions!"
When the three Jiang brothers joined the company, Jiang Li went to personally review them.
"To be honest, Your Majesty also has shares in Longmen Trading Company. My three brothers, please don't have any bad thoughts. If you have any second thoughts, you will be punished like this!"
Jiang Li said with a smile, and with a slight effort, the teacup in his hand shattered instantly!
She loosened her grip and dust fell.
The three Jiang brothers all looked pale.
They had also met my younger sister before she entered the palace, but they never expected that the pretty and shy little girl was actually a hidden martial arts master!
No wonder she was able to transform herself into the right-hand man of the current emperor and the popular Marquis of Jing'an in just one year!
After resolving the issues at the Jiang Mansion, Jiang Li began to expand her business empire in a big way.
She picked out three of Fang Yi's farms in the suburbs of Beijing, one for Longmen Medical Bureau to grow herbs, one for Longmen Tiangong to conduct experiments. After the Mohist personnel arrived, she would ask for an order to establish Longmen Military Industry; the other one was used to build Longmen Academy.
Anyway, she was not short of money, so she invested all the huge amount of money recovered from Jiang Mansion into Longmen Medical Bureau, Longmen Tiangong and other projects related to people's livelihood, which could be regarded as accumulating merit for Fang Yi.
Jiang Li has now moved to the house next to the East Factory and set up the front yard as her office.
Aunt Lian had to stay at the base camp to supervise the renovation of the Marquis' Mansion, so Jiang Li only brought Zhen'er and Zhu'er with her.
Liao Wuyong selected four "reserve" secret guards from the Governor's Mansion, two men and two women, as guards for Marquis Jing'an.
At this time, Jiang Li was looking at the account book of Longmen Tiangong.
All stores of Longmen Trading Company are profitable, except Longmen Tiangong, which is in the red every month.
Although we know that Longmen Tiangong focuses on research and will definitely burn money in the early stages, once a product is launched, it will be a hen that lays golden eggs!
Jiang Li thought about it and asked Xiaoying to call Mo Qilang.
"Brother Mo Qi, you obviously have good stuff in your hands, why don't you use it to make money?"
Mo Qilang was confused: "What is that?"
Jiang Li smiled and said, "Have you forgotten? The things we used at the palace banquet last time."
"The Clairvoyance, the Voice Transmitter, and those small hidden weapons, any of them can be sold for a good price!"
"Wouldn't it be a good idea to put the Clairvoyance and the Voice Transmitter to good use if they were equipped to the military?"
Mo Qilang suddenly realized: "Yes, why didn't I think of it?"
Jiang Li said, "I'll negotiate the military order for you. Go back and make a few flyers introducing your products, and I'll have the branches of Longmen Commercial Bank promote them for you."
"Brother Mo Qi, you'll be busy now. Send a message to your fellow disciples to come out and help you."
"Okay, I'll do it right now!"
Mo Qilang went back excitedly.
At this time, Shen Muchun and Xu Dangtou came in together.
The Longmen Medical Bureau suddenly increased its budget by a large sum. Shen Muchun was overjoyed and came to find Jiang Li excitedly.
He asked, "Sister Sixteen, you suddenly gave me a large sum of money, what do you want to do?"
Jiang Li smiled and said, "I'll give you another farm, you can plant whatever you want."
Shen Muchun was overjoyed: "Can I plant anything?"
Jiang Li said, "We can't always buy herbs. All the medicine shops in and around Beijing are almost sold out by us! That farm is for you to grow herbs."
She added a reminder, "If there are poisonous weeds, remember to keep an eye on them and make sure no one eats them by mistake."
"Row!"
Shen Muchun asked for the address of Zhuangzi and couldn't wait to check it out.
"My Lord, you are really busy." Xu Dangtou bowed and said with a smile.
Now he should be called Captain Xu. After Xie Changan returned to the Jinyiwei, Xu Dangtou was promoted to the new Captain of Criminal Affairs and became the second-in-command of the East Factory.
"Sir Xu, I haven't congratulated you on your promotion yet." Jiang Li said with a smile.
"It's all thanks to the support of Lord Dugong and Lord Xie." Captain Xu said with a smile.
He also has something to ask for today.
Ever since Jiang Li followed Xie Changan and left the East Factory, the secret guards have lost their "spies" and "factory bees", and their efficiency has been greatly reduced.
Captain Xu explained his purpose. He wanted to hire Marquis Jing'an as the "special consultant" of the East Factory and let the rats "spies" and "factory bees" continue to work for the East Factory.
"I dare not trouble you to go on this mission personally. If you can help the brothers to command Brother Mouse and Factory Bee, I will be very grateful!"
The main thing is, without Jiang Li, no one can control those mice and bees!
Jiang Li was a little overwhelmed, as she also needed to summarize the information fed back by the mouse "spies".
She is too busy to handle everything now!
She said, "Factory bees can, but mice can't. You can't communicate with them, and you can't understand the information they send back!"
There is no problem with the factory bee. She only needs to communicate with Baihua Bee to command the bee colony.
Captain Xu was extremely grateful: "I would like to thank you on behalf of my brothers!"
It would be good enough if he could keep the factory bees. He also knew that Marquis Jing'an would be highly trusted by the emperor in the future. Why would he waste his energy on the East Factory?
