Chapter 208 Shi Bin Wants to Make Money

He picked up the wine glass on the table and poured it into his mouth. The spicy wine flowed down his throat. Shi Bin felt mixed emotions and was very depressed.

Back then, he ignored his family's opposition and was determined to join the military camp for training. He had decided at that time that when he became a general and returned triumphantly, he would marry Lin Ruoyu in a grand ceremony.

But he had clearly returned triumphantly, so why was the person he wanted to marry gone?

The main culprit of all this is Imperial Noble Consort Dehui. If it weren't for her trying to eliminate dissidents, how could families like the Shi family, the Zhou family, the Lin family, and the Jiang family suffer such misfortunes?

At the latest one day, he will make Imperial Noble Consort Dehui pay for her blood debt with blood. He will destroy everything she has, everything she wants to protect, and he will make her wish for life but unable to live, and wish for death but unable to die.

After drinking a lot of wine in the Prince of Qin's Mansion, Shi Bin returned to his own residence and slept for a day. He did not get up until noon the next day and was still sleeping soundly in the room.

His deputy general Gong Daniu came hurriedly and knocked on his door.

"General, General, there is news from the south."

Shi Bin, who was half asleep, sat up with a somersault.

"Daniu, what did you say just now? What's the news from the south?"

"General, look for yourself."

Gong Daniu's face looked a little solemn, and he didn't dare to tell Shi Bin the truth.

When Shi Bin received the letter, his hands were shaking a little, he thought Lin Ruoyu was gone.

When he opened the letter and read it quickly, his heart finally settled down and his face was filled with anger.

"Okay, very good. Daniu, you must send a message now. Anyone who has bullied Ruoyu must die. No matter who they are or how powerful they are, I want their lives to be taken."

Shi Bin almost gritted his teeth when he said this. He couldn't imagine how a little girl like Lin Ruoyu could endure such torture.

Fortunately, Lin Ruoyu was rescued in the end. Shi Bin rubbed his face hard. No matter how big the world was, he would try his best to find Lin Ruoyu from the vast crowd.

He would protect her from any harm ever again.

The spy sent by Shi Bin needed a lot of money to find someone, so he naturally needed a lot of money. He did not go to find Xiao Mo, but went directly to find Ye Jintang.

If you want to raise money in a short period of time, only Ye Jintang has the ability to do so.

"My queen, I know you have many ways to make money. Can you give me one way to make money? It doesn't need to be too much, just a few thousand taels of silver for emergency use."

Ye Jintang looked at Shi Bin with a puzzled look.

"General Shi, are you short of money recently? If you need it urgently, you can get it from me first."

"This is a bottomless pit for me. I don't know when it can be filled. My queen, it would be better for you to help me find a way to make money."

"Then I wonder what General Shi has available, such as people, objects, etc."

Shi Bin blurted out without thinking, "I have the most manpower."

The people he was talking about were not ordinary people, but soldiers who fought with him on the battlefield. Some of them were injured and could no longer go to the battlefield, and they had no families. Shi Bin would keep them and find them a job to make a living.

There are also some soldiers who follow him. They are all his guards and they usually help him run errands.

As for the spies sent to find Lin Ruoyu, they were private soldiers raised by Shi Bin for Xiao Mo.

Maintaining a private army is extremely expensive, not to mention that Shi Bin has to support so many guards and injured soldiers. To be honest, he is under a lot of pressure. If he had not been in the capital recently, he would have wanted to take his men to rob corrupt officials.

Ye Jintang looked at Shi Bin's anxious look, thought for a moment and said, "I can give the injured soldiers money that they can earn even in cosmetics workshops and Herbal Medicine Hall as long as they have hands."

"I don't know if the other people under General Shi are willing to do business."

"Soldiers are all rough men, and it's unrealistic to ask them to do business. It's easiest to be a trader. The amount of money you get for each delivery is fixed, and this money is earned steadily."

Ye Jintang has a large amount of medicinal herbs and useful rouge and powder, which are extremely profitable, but even if Wen Ziqiu's ability to transport them is good, it is still far behind the people in Shi Bin's hands.

Those who have been trained in the military are completely different from ordinary businessmen.

If Shi Bin can help with the transportation, the distance that used to take 10 days to complete can now be completed in 5 days.

Sometimes time is money. Ye Jintang has the goods in her hands. As long as they can be shipped out, those medicinal herbs that she thinks are worthless will immediately become valuable gold and silver.

Some time ago, Ye Jintang trained her own people and asked Wen Ziqiu to set up an escort agency for her in the capital. She wanted to train these people and then let them do business.

After she leaves the capital, no one will keep an eye on her, and she can use her business skills without restraint.

Now Shi Bin suddenly came to her and said that he had someone, so her plan could be carried out in advance.

"My lady, I will follow your arrangements in everything."

As he spoke, Shi Bin stood up and saluted Ye Jintang.

"General Shi, why don't you go to the prince about this matter? I think the prince has a lot of businesses that can make money."

"Your Highness, you don't know that the stewards the prince keeps are just good-looking but useless. If they had some ability, the palace wouldn't be so poor."

Shi Bin knew the economic situation of the Prince of Qin's Mansion best. He had scolded his stewards in front of Xiao Mo not once but twice for not knowing how to make money. How could the prince and Xiao Mo be so poor?

Ye Jintang just smiled and said nothing. It was not that the manager under Xiao Mo was incompetent, but he had to hide his incompetence in the past and dared not make money blatantly.

But now it’s different. They will be leaving the capital in half a month at most, so some things can be started.

Ye Jintang asked Shi Bin to give her the information of the people he could hire as soon as possible, and she would arrange work for them.

"I will always remember your kindness, Madam. If you have anything to ask, please let me know."

"General Shi is too polite."

One of them provides people and the other provides goods, which is a win-win situation. Ye Jintang is naturally very happy.

After seeing Shi Bin off, Ye Jintang asked someone to send a letter to Wen Ziqiu, asking him to come to the palace.

"Cousin, now I have both people and goods, how much I can sell depends on your ability."

"As for medicines for treating colds and injuries from falls, I'll take as many as I can get. As for rouge and powder, I'm not sure how much I can get. After all, rouge and powder in the south have always been better than ours in the north. It's going to be difficult for us to sell them to the south now."

"But I can personally bring the rouge and powder south and find a few big merchants to sell the goods."

Ye Jintang was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble my cousin during this period, but I won't let him work in vain. I'll give you a 10% bonus for all the goods I take from you."

A 10% bonus may not seem like much, but with so many goods, a little bit of money adds up to a lot, and the money is still very considerable.

"Your Highness, you don't have to be polite to me. I have never done anything for you for money."

"We brothers should settle accounts clearly. It's embarrassing to always ask my cousin for help."

Ye Jintang doesn't like to owe favors to others, so it's better to settle the accounts clearly.

It's easy to repay money, but it's hard to repay favors.

The two talked for a while about going south to sell medicinal herbs. Wen Ziqiu wanted to set off as soon as possible, but Ye Jintang asked him to wait for a few days.

"The weather in the south is hotter than in the north. I need to slightly change the formula of rouge and powder to make it less moisturizing. I estimate that I can finish the change in two days. Then my cousin can go to the south with the samples. It will be easier to negotiate the deal with the samples in hand."

"Okay, then I'll wait a few days before setting off again."
