If it were in the past, after suffering such a large loss, Steward Hao would have turned the land in Guangye upside down, but now he leaves without a word.
Judging by this stance, does he seem to want a win-win cooperation with Prince Zhan?
"Prince An Yang, will Steward Hao truly send soone to request a eting to buy the grain you hold?" He asked An Jiuyue, who was sitting opposite him.
Of course, he didn’t think that Steward Hao would leave so much grain unaddressed; he just felt heartache for the grain.
If so much grain were in the hands of the Northern Lands’ populace, who knows how many people could be saved. Now, it must be handed over to those ruthless rchants who might raise the prices sky-high.
"Don’t you want him to co and buy it?"
An Jiuyue discerned Master Ji’s thoughts at a glance and asked.
"Uh."
Master Ji was taken aback.
He raised his hand, touched the tip of his nose, and explained sowhat uneasily.
"I just feel it’s such a pity to sell all this grain to those people."
"Is that so?"
An Jiuyue didn’t offer further explanation, rely moving the fruit on the table in front of Master Ji.
A pity? What’s there to pity?
The grain bought for fifty or sixty coins would eventually have to be sold at civilian prices, and by then it wouldn’t be her who would be spitting blood. anwhile, the extra money from selling such a large batch of grain could buy a lot of other materials needed by the Northern Lands’ populace.
She thought this deal was reasonably profitable.
"Wu Qi, go serve so tea and Jade Spirit Fruit to everyone. Even if it’s just for appearance’s sake to sell grain, we can’t leave everyone thirsty and hungry." She called a secret guard, took out a lot of tea and Jade Spirit Fruit from her space, and had him distribute them.
"Yes, Master."
Wu Qi responded and went out with the items.
Only after seeing the secret guard leave with full hands did Master Ji rember that the person before him was Prince An Yang.
Soone who could take out so many things at will, how could there be a lack of grain? Perhaps the idea was to thoroughly profit from Steward Hao and those ruthless rchants, teaching them a lesson.
"Go back first. Steward Hao’s side will be handled by you. No need to give them face." An Jiuyue stood up and instructed Master Ji.
"I..."
Master Ji opened his mouth, wanting to say it was uncomfortable.
But before he could say anything, An Jiuyue had already left, leaving behind a table of pastries, fruit, and tea.
He thought that perhaps there wasn’t much to it, just a negotiation for cooperation, as interests could turn forr enemies into friends.
As long as he highlighted the interests more, Steward Hao wouldn’t suspect anything, right?
Of course, the most important thing was, if he continued with Mr. Sheng, this Upright Official, then it wasn’t just about the grain; even getting enough food for himself would be an issue.
Steward Hao naturally wouldn’t think that this grain-selling matter involved Mr. Sheng alongside him.
"I follow your orders."
He accepted the order and prepared to first check out that residence. At this mont, perhaps the people sent by Steward Hao were still there monitoring.
If he showed up now, Steward Hao would know who to look for regarding this matter.
"Soone co."
"Master Ji, what are your instructions?"
A governnt guard ca in from outside and paused upon seeing only Master Ji inside.
He distinctly rembered that Prince An Yang arrived with Master Ji. How co now it’s just Master Ji alone? But he had been guarding the door, so how did Prince An Yang leave without him knowing?
