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

Chapter 98: No Question of Origin

Chang Jin stood up and walked over, clasping his fists and saying, "I wonder where the young lady is from. She doesn't look like someone from Dongzhou."

Yuan Man and Nian Qin both glanced at him. Yuan Man didn't say anything, but Nian Qin spoke first, "I don't ask about the origins or backgrounds of guests who come to my Xiantian Tower."

Chang Jin immediately said, "Miss Nianqin has misunderstood. I just want to get to know this girl. I have no other intentions."

Yuan Yi looked at him and said, "My master is not someone who can be acquainted by anyone who wants to. Please leave."

Chang Jin's face changed slightly when he heard this. In Dongzhou, no one had ever given him such a low respect.

Nian Qin had clearly revealed his identity, but this person still dared to drive him away. Could it be that she really came from Kyoto?

Chang Jin really wanted to find out her identity, but the man in front of him looked like someone who was not someone he was going to deal with.

Yuan Man glanced at Nian Qin and asked, "Miss Nian Qin, can we find a private room?"

Nian Qin nodded and said, "Miss, please follow me." Then she bent her knees slightly and bowed, then walked in front to lead the way.

Everyone who looked at Yuan Man had envious eyes, but no one was so blind as to come up and cause trouble.

Nianqin led Yuanman to the fifth floor.

The fifth floor is not open to the public.

Yuan Man stood in the corridor on the fifth floor and looked down, with a clear view.

"You are the manager of Xunxian Tower in Dongzhou. How do you know my identity?" Yuan Man looked down and did not look at Nian Qin.

Nian Qin smiled and said, "It was the guards who handed me the letter. When you entered Xunxian Tower, they saw that you were the owner of Xunxian Tower."

Yuan Man waved his hand and said, "You don't need to call yourself a slave in front of me." After saying that, he looked around and thought that it was the system that did it.

Nian Qin looked at Yuan Man's eyes and changed slightly. He knelt and saluted and said, "Master, do you want to check the account book?"

Yuan Man shook her head. Over the years, the Xunxian Tower had been well managed, and she wouldn't find anything even if she checked the accounts.

"No need to check. I believe you. Just tell me how much profit Xunxianlou has made over the years."

Nian Qin nodded and took Yuan Man to the box with the best view, which was also the box where she usually sat and watched.

After Yuan Man sat down, he took out an account book and said, "Since the establishment of Xunxian Tower, there have been 5.9 million taels of silver in the treasury, and another 3500 to 360 taels of gold."

Yuanman paused in his action of serving tea. It really was a den of vengeance.

Just one Xunxian Tower in Dongzhou made a profit of more than 6 million taels. If the twelve Xunxian Towers were added together, the minimum profit would be at least 70 million taels.

I’m afraid even the combined treasuries of the four countries cannot compare to this.

Nian Qin put away the account book, looked at her and asked, "Master, what should we do with this money?"

"Most of the silver in the treasury is ingots, and now the treasury is almost full."

Yuan Man drank some tea to calm himself down, and pretended to be calm and said, "I'll go to the warehouse later and take some away."

"How much reserve silver do we need to keep in the building?"

Nian Qin thought for a moment and said, "There should be no need to keep any reserve money. The cost of maintaining Xunxian Tower can be earned back in two or three days."

Yuan Man took another sip of tea, thought for a moment and said, "I'll keep 900,000 taels just in case, and I'll take the rest."

"Yes." Nian Qin didn't expect that the master would leave so much for them.

Yuan Man put down his teacup, looked at her and asked, "You should have collected a lot of information about Dongzhou, right? Is there any information about the Chang family?"

Nian Qin turned around and fetched a stack of books, then found one and placed it in front of Yuan Man. "Master, this is what the Chang family has done over the years. I have written down everything I could find out."

Yuanman motioned for her to sit down, then opened the booklet and started reading.

The Chang family has been very busy in recent years. They have forcibly seized nearly a thousand shops in Dongzhou and countless fields.

Now he has set his sights on Yuanlai Inn, and his purpose is definitely not just for money.

If you want to collect intelligence at Yuanlai Inn, why not open more brothels like Dixian Pavilion to make it more convenient to collect intelligence.

Earthly Immortal Pavilion!

The Dixian Pavilion opened in Wangdong City should be an imitation of the Xunxian Tower.

"Nianqin, do you know the Dixian Pavilion in Wangdong City?"

Nian Qin really knew, "I know that Dixian Pavilion was opened by the Yu family in Wangdong City. I have investigated and found that the Yu family and the Chang family are related by marriage."

"The mistress of the Yu family is the aunt of the current head of the Chang family. The Yu family and the Chang family are very close and have frequent exchanges."

The Chang family is the maiden family of Princess Rong. Ordinary people would definitely not believe whether what the Chang family did was related to Prince Rong.

But we can't generalize.

Yuanman looked at the Chang family's booklet again and found that there was nothing else besides these.

The booklet records that the Chang family began to forcibly seize shops and land in the 22nd year of Anhe, which was 11 years ago.

At that time, Chang Shi had been married to Prince Rong for five years, and the more she looked at it, the more it looked like Prince Rong was behind it!

Since then, he began to amass wealth. What did he do with all that money? One was to hoard food like Prince Duan did, and the other was to raise troops.

Raise troops!

Yuanman took out the map to see which places were suitable for raising troops.

Nian Qin looked at the map, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Yuan Man changed.

Such a clear map is not something that ordinary people can have.

Yuan Man looked at all the territories of Anguo and felt that Lincheng was the best place to hide troops as it was surrounded by mountains.

But if she can think of it, others should think of it too.

So she turned her attention to the mountain range connected to Lianyun Mountain.

On the other side of Lianyun Mountain is the territory of Zhao State. Further ahead are Wutuo Mountain and Xiong Mountain. Half of Xiong Mountain belongs to An State and the other half belongs to Zhao State, with the peak of the mountain as the boundary and the ridge stone as the line.

There is a canyon between Wutuo Mountain and Xiong Mountain, which is also a good place.

The more Yuan Man looked, the more he felt that this place was more secretive. "Yuan Yi, send a message to Qing Long and ask him to send Zi Shu over."

"Yuan Er, find a way to find out where the money collected by the Chang family went. If you can't find it, go to the study of the Chang family's patriarch and check."

"Yes." Yuan Yi and Yuan Er bowed and walked out.

Seeing this, Nian Qin bowed and asked, "Master, is there anything I can do for you?"

Yuan Man looked at her and said, "Not for now. When the Rat arrives, we'll need you."

Nianqin nodded.

Yuan Man glanced outside and said, "You go ahead and do your work. I'll look at the other books."

Nianqin bowed and left, asking someone to bring some refreshments.

Yuan Man looked through the books one by one and found that Nian Qin had indeed collected a lot of information.

When Nianqin went downstairs, she saw Chang Jin standing at the stairs looking up, "Is there something wrong, Master Chang? Why are you here? If there is something, just ask the servants to call me. How can you let the Master come here in person? Please go back and sit down."

Chang Jin also knew that it would be difficult for him to go up, so he followed Nian Qin's words and walked back, "Miss Nian Qin, I wonder who that person is, and you actually led her to the fifth floor."

"Didn't you say that the fifth floor doesn't welcome outsiders?"
