After traveling through time, I married the prince by signing in

Chapter 42 The Prince Wants to Buy on Credit

Yuan Man gave Yuan Yue 30,000 taels of silver and asked him to take care of the things needed to set up the Hanging Palace.

Then he took Yuan Yi and others back to Mingzhou City.

As for the new check-in point, she will decide after she has rested enough and spent enough time with Yuanbao.

Yuan Yue brought nine other people to Qinhe Mountain. Looking at the palace in front of them, all nine of them were stunned.

What an exquisite palace!

"Chief, this, is this the Hanging Palace that the master just mentioned?"

"awesome!"

Yuan Yue exhaled and said, "Let's check it out. The master told us to configure something and we have to get it done within three days."

"The East Hall should be the main hall, and Huayue, Chenyue, and Huaiyue are in charge."

"This five-story North Hall is under the charge of Xingyue, Heyue, and Shuangyue."

"The rest of the West Hall, Youyue and Xuanyue, you two will be in charge."

"Count what is needed and buy them all at once."

After Yuan Yue gave the instructions, she began to check each hall one by one. After the inspection, she found that except for daily necessities, it seemed that there was no need to buy anything else.

Moreover, this palace was built on top of a mountain. Unless one had good martial arts skills, it was impossible to get up there.

Since the master only asked her to buy some things, she should have her own ideas about other things. She should just complete the master's orders first.

When Yuanman returned to Mingzhou City, he remembered that there was one thing he had not done, which was to donate the grain seeds in his backpack.

After a while, the one thousand acres of rice can be harvested.

She planned to sell the sweet potatoes to the prince, and keep the one thousand acres of rice for herself just in case.

Twenty acres of land produced nearly 100,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes, and the one hundred acres of land should produce 500,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes. She could just keep the sweet potatoes from the other one hundred acres of land for herself, and she planned to give all the 500,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes to the prince.

No matter how he distributes it, whether to plant it or eat it, it is none of her business.

Potatoes are also a high-yield crop. I wonder if its yield will be on par with that of sweet potatoes.

"Yuan Yi, pass it to the prince. The priority purchase right of the thousand acres of rice promised to him before is changed to 500,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes. Ask him if he wants it."

"In addition, I have nearly 70,000 kilograms of wheat seeds and 50,000 kilograms of grain, all of which can be donated to the people of Anguo."

After hearing this, Yuan Yi immediately went out to deliver the message.

The prince, who had just returned to the palace and had not yet had time to hand over the evidence to the emperor, wanted to leave the palace immediately after seeing Yuan Yi's letter.

But reason made him stop and turn around to continue walking towards the imperial study.

"Father, I have received the agreement signed by Marquis Yongxing and Guicheng. Marquis Leshan helped a lot." The prince placed the agreement on the imperial desk.

The emperor did not look at him, but looked at him and asked, "Have you found out anything about Leshanhou?"

The prince shook his head. "Except for knowing his name is Yuan Man and some of his assets, I know very little."

"Father, Marquis Leshan has grown a high-yield crop called sweet potato."

"One hundred acres of land can produce up to 500,000 kilograms, which is exactly what we are in short supply now."

"And it's very easy to grow. Sweet potatoes are seeds themselves, and when they grow vines, you can cut the vines and plant them."

The emperor stood up immediately after hearing this and said, "Really? If such high-yield crops can be planted on a large scale, our Anguo will surely recover soon."

"With this type of planting, as long as we cultivate the seeds, cut the vines and distribute them to different places, everyone will soon be self-sufficient."

"Marquis Leshan is truly a great contributor to our country's security!"

The emperor looked at the prince and asked, "Xiao'er, did Marquis Leshan tell me what he would do with this batch of sweet potatoes?"

The prince thought for a moment and said, "Marquis Leshan means that he can sell them all to us."

"Okay." The emperor smiled happily. If all were sold to the court, there would be seeds for all parts of the country.

The prince did not smile, "But father, he sells these sweet potatoes to outsiders for 600 coins per pound, and to us for 500 coins per pound. Two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver is a bit difficult for us now."

"All the money has been invested in building the river, and disaster relief has almost emptied the national treasury..."

After hearing this, the smile on the emperor's face faded.

After a long silence, he looked at the prince and said, "Why don't we talk to him and see if he can lower the price?"

The prince showed an embarrassment on his face, "Father, Marquis Leshan said he would donate another 50,000 catties of grain, and another 70,000 catties of wheat seeds."

These are things that cannot be bought even with money, and since people donated so much, he was too embarrassed to bargain.

All the donations were perfectly above the price he could negotiate.

emperor:"……"

"Hurry up and find out the person behind the Yongxing Marquis. We have to confiscate at least half of the more than four million taels."

There is a fixed amount of 200,000 taels of silver kept in the national treasury, but that is not used for military rations during wars, so it cannot be easily moved.

The prince nodded, "Father, please keep an eye on the Marquis of Yongxing. I will go to the Marquis of Leshan to see if I can... buy it on credit first."

After saying this, the prince's cold face turned half red.

The emperor saw this and stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Xiao'er, thank you for your help."

"How about you mention it to me again in the morning court tomorrow?"

The treasury is out of money, so the only thing they can do is to fleece the ministers.

The prince shook his head directly, "The one million taels last time were already not easy to come by. If you mention it again, I'm afraid I won't be able to come up with anything."

"I will meet with Marquis Leshan first and decide based on the situation."

It can only be the.

The emperor became extremely angry when he thought about his son, the future emperor, having to beg others humbly.

He turned around and ordered the prison officers to increase the sentence and make sure to bring the person behind Marquis Yongxing to justice.

After hearing this, the prince gave the tokens he had obtained in Dongyuan City to the emperor, and it was up to him how to deal with them.

After the prince returned to the East Palace to get his private belongings, he left the palace and headed towards Mingzhou City.

……

We started digging potatoes today. Yuanman brought a few children along to dig potatoes together.

The adults were digging in front, and the children were picking and sorting in the back.

We have arranged a big pot meal today, so no picnic.

While everyone was busy, Yuan Man went to the villa first and put the grain and seeds for the prince into the warehouse.

After coming out, I went to see another hundred acres of sweet potatoes. Although they were planted nearly a month late, they were growing well and could be harvested next month.

"Boss, this is the sweet potato production registration and the account book of the sweet potatoes sold in the past two days." Manager Li came over with two books, one large and one small.

Yuanman took it and looked at the smaller one first, which was the book recording the sweet potato production.

"Five hundred and sixty-eight thousand two hundred kilograms, is this the remainder?" Yuan Man was surprised.

Steward Li smiled and nodded, "Yes, according to your instructions, each person is limited to buying ten kilograms. The ones sent by Steward Li of the Luo and Zheng families are sold at five hundred coins per kilogram. The others are sold separately at three hundred and sixty kilograms."

"Including what the eldest young master of the Gu family took away, the total amount sold was 770 kilograms."

Yuan Man heard that the last digit had an extra ten jin, and couldn't help but look at him, "Huh? Where did the extra ten jin come from?"

Manager Li immediately told the story of Young Master Gu taking away nearly ten kilograms of sweet potatoes.

Yuan Man raised his eyebrows and said, "The money from selling sweet potatoes should be kept on the farm for emergency use. If there is similar sandy soil for sale nearby, buy some more."

"Okay, boss." Manager Li agreed, took the account book handed back by Yuanman and left.
