Chapter 174 The Princess Who Struggled to Protect Herself (28)

It cannot solve the people’s problems at all.

For ordinary people, what should be studied is how to grow more food with the same amount of land.”

What Lai State lacks in its current situation is not just money.

"So this business can only be done with those princes and nobles." Xin Zhuyou faced the reality.

"Yes, so the price can be set higher. After making the money, King You can use it however he wants." Shui Gardenia hinted.

Xin Zhuyou concealed the emotion in his heart, and Shui Zhizi understood him.

"The princess is already working on increasing grain production, right?"

Whatever Shui Zhizi was able to propose should have already been done.

Shui Zhizi looked at Xin Zhuyou meaningfully.

“Yes, but it’s difficult. The weather and soil in Lai Country are not good. It is difficult to increase grain production at the moment.

So you'd better make money first, and then go to other countries to buy food."

A trace of sadness flashed across Xin Zhuyou's face.

"The situation in these northern countries is similar. In some countries, any excess food they have will be sold at a very high price.

If we go across these northern countries to East Mumbai, the food will be cheaper, but we will lose some of it on the way back every time.”

Yan State and Beiying State would not allow Lai State to bring back the grain intact.

Therefore, the State of Lai has been short of food almost every year in recent years.

Shui Zhizi was also worried when she heard this, but she said, "These are things you have to solve on your own. I will only do what I can do."

If Lai State doesn't want to find a solution to this situation, does it want her to ask Dong Meng's army to help them escort the food?

"So the king is going to go to war against Beiying."

If Beiying could be captured, it would be easier for Lai State to buy food from other countries or grow food.

"So the reason why King You came to me today is to ask me to return to the royal court?"

Whenever there was a war in Lai State, King Xin Zhuyin would always go into battle personally.

So Shui Zhizi thought that Xin Zhuyou came to her in order to ask her to return to the royal court to help Xin Zhuyin stabilize people's hearts.

Shui Zhizi had just finished speaking when she saw a flash of embarrassment on Xin Zhuyou's face and immediately understood.

Xin Zhuyin was not in the royal court, but the other princes were still there.

Xin Zhuyin would not feel comfortable allowing her, the Princess Dongmeng, to come into contact with other princes.

Therefore, when Xin Zhuyin is not around, he will definitely not let himself return to the royal court.

During this period, whenever a guest came outside her mansion, the guards would take the guest away quickly without any action from the mansion guards.

But Shui Zhizi doesn't care about these things. She feels peaceful when no one disturbs her.

Shui Zhizi would only occasionally wonder whether Xin Zhuyin was so wary of her because of her last threat.

Or maybe Xin Zhuyin had never intended to let her communicate with other princes and court officials of Lai State from the beginning.

Xin Zhuyin planned to trap her in the royal court from the beginning.

But it doesn’t matter anymore. Anyway, she and Xin Zhuyin are destined not to live in peace.

"Bring King You?"

"The king asked me to come and see what the queen has been doing recently, and by the way, to ask what the queen thinks about his plan to send troops to Beiying?"

Xin Zhuyou told the truth.

Shui Zhizi smiled sarcastically.

"This is your country's internal affairs. If I oppose it, Dong Meng will not come out to stop you. If I support it, Dong Meng will not come to help you. So it doesn't matter what I think."

Shui Zhizi never hides her true emotions and thoughts in front of Xin Zhuyou, because Shui Zhizi knows that Xin Zhuyou is a smart man.

It is easier to achieve your desired goal if you talk to this smart person without hiding anything.

But at this moment, this wise man asked Shui Zhizi, "How does the queen want me to reply to the king?"

Xin Zhuyou asked seriously, and it was obvious that he would tell Xin Zhuyin whatever Shui Zhizi asked him to say.

"Just say that I will never interfere in Lai's internal affairs, so I have no opinion. And as for the business you just mentioned, I want 50% of the profits."

Xin Zhuyou nodded and said, "I will send the written document over tomorrow."

Shui Zhizi was a little surprised.

"King You doesn't need to make a special trip. You can send the people who want to learn skills here tomorrow and ask them to bring the documents over.

King You doesn't bargain?"

“These things were researched by the Queen and her people, and continuing this kind of research will require money and time.

In the future, when we have more money, we can research more things to help Laiguo make money."

And these words were not only said to Shui Zhizi, but also the reason why Xin Zhuyou persuaded Xin Zhuyin to take out 50% of the profits to do business with Shui Zhizi.

Of course, even though Xin Zhuyou's reasons were sufficient, Xin Zhuyin was still very angry and whipped Xin Zhuyou again.

Angry that Shui Zhizi, as the Queen of Lai, didn't give away things for free. Angry that Xin Zhuyou didn't know to lower the profit.

But Xin Zhuyin had no choice but to agree, because he knew very well that if he didn't agree, Lai State would not even get that 50%.

But Xin Zhuyin was thinking about what to do after agreeing, and he had the final say.

Laiguo is responsible for selling the items, so naturally only their own people know how much they are sold for.

The tastes of Dongmeng and Laiguo are different. It is normal that the things developed by Dongmeng people are not to the taste of Lai people and cannot be sold, isn't it?

Xin Zhuyou just stood below and watched Xin Zhu in the hall as he was thinking his own little thoughts.

It was so obvious that Xin Zhuyou knew what Xin Zhuyin was thinking without having to think too much.

Then Xin Zhuyou thought of the question Shui Zhizi had asked him before, "What if your King Lai falsified the accounts?"

"I will guarantee that the queen will not lose a cent." This was the promise Xin Zhuyou made to Shui Zhizi.

When they were talking, Shui Zhizi always made a clear distinction between Lai Guo and herself.

It is you who are always talking to him.

Xin Zhuyou felt that it was the king and the Kingdom of Lai who did not give Shui Zhizi a sense of belonging.

However, looking at the king's ever-changing expression at this moment, Xin Zhuyou realized that Shui Zhizi would never feel a sense of belonging in Lai State.

Shui Zhizi is so smart, and her ability to judge people is first-rate.

After only spending a day or two with the king, I was able to see him very clearly.

But the king will never treat Shui Zhizi sincerely, and the same goes for everyone else.

Everyone in Lai State wants to take advantage of Princess Dong Meng and want to get something with her support, but is there anyone who truly treats her?

Therefore, Shui Zhizi will never feel a sense of belonging in Lai State.

But Xin Zhuyou wants to be the one who treats Shui Zhizi sincerely.

"Who should be in charge of the king's business?"

Xin Zhuyou asked a little nervously.

"You should come. You will be responsible for all matters related to the queen from now on.

Remember what I said, never let other princes have access to the queen.

Besides, isn’t the family of the Wang you know a businessman?

You must get this done for me, otherwise I will make that family and you bear the consequences."
