Forced to be a concubine, I went to my husband's place to become a wealthy merchant

Chapter 341

Ye Xi's thoughts were wandering all the way, and it was not until he returned home and saw Xiao Siyu that he reacted.

Xue Jiu was still too worried. Compared with Xiao Siyu's safety, the money that Wei Jue asked her to pay was not within her consideration.

She has made a lot of money in the past few years, but she has not bought a mansion or spent money lavishly. She still lives in a small courtyard, just wanting a warm and happy life.

If I can save Xiao Siyu by paying money, this deal is still a good deal.

So after returning, she actively prepared food and money.

She had a lot of the store's reserve food loaded onto trucks, but she felt that this was not enough.

So he looked at the map and sent letters to the owners of several branches near Huzhou City, asking them to prepare a batch of grain to be shipped to Huzhou City as soon as possible.

Then he checked the accounts again. Except for reserving a portion for reserve funds, he exchanged all the silver that could be used at the moment for silver notes.

He planned to give all the silver to Wei Jue and let him find someone to purchase food on his own.

If she comes to purchase, the price will be higher first of all, and she will have to find someone to transport it, which means she will have to pay for it invisibly.

This matter would be different if Wei Jue were to do it. He was acting on orders, so not only would the price be lower, but the transportation would be done by people from the imperial court, which would save a lot of money.

The place Ye Xi was going to was a bit far from Hangzhou City, so she had to explain it to her parents.

When Ye's father and mother heard that she was going on a long journey, they did not agree: "Although the war has subsided and the drought has eased, it is not a suitable time to travel. Xier should not go."

Ye Xi pondered for a whole night before coming up with a good reason to convince them: "This trip is mainly because the new transport envoy asked me to accompany you, and he wanted me to donate silver and grain for disaster relief."

Father Ye frowned when he heard this: "Since they want you to donate money and food, just donate it. Why do you need a little girl like you to run around with you?"

Ye Xi knew that her family would say this, fortunately she was prepared.

“My Lord said that I am good at growing cold-resistant crops, and asked me to bring people over there to spread the word so that they can get rid of the food shortage as soon as possible.

Rather than continuously transporting food to provide disaster relief, it is better to let them have the ability to get out of trouble themselves."

Father Ye wanted to say that this way, he could just let the people below go, so why should she go in person?

As a result, Ye Xi spoke first: "I also want to go there to see if I can expand the store. After all, I will be staying there for a while."

Father Ye understood Ye Xi's personality. Ever since she came back, she has always done what she says, so let her be.

But he still asked worriedly, "Is there really no danger? Will the victims do anything to you?"

Ye Xi laughed: "Dad, do you think adults are easy to bully? They all went there with soldiers."

Only then did Ye's father feel relieved. Traveling this way was indeed much safer than for her to hire a bodyguard herself.

The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty can still be trusted, otherwise the border would not be defended.

It was impossible for Ye Xi to bring Xiao Siyu with him on this trip, so he could only let her stay at home.

There was another reason why she didn't want to take him with her. Who knew what Wei Jue was thinking? Wouldn't it be like walking into a tiger's mouth if he took her with him? She wasn't that stupid.

She didn't know how Wei Jue knew Siyu's background, but since the other party didn't come to arrest her, it meant that he would not touch Siyu for the time being.

She still couldn't let her guard down and had to test the other party's attitude when she had the chance.

Three days passed quickly. After Ye Xi prepared the silver, she asked Xue Jiu to come and get it. She then arranged the food and asked Hong Xiu to pack the luggage.
