Mo Xiuyao held a chess piece and said, "Leng Er calculated that it would cost at least seventeen thousand taels to make a greenhouse like this. Even if the cost would slowly decrease after it matures, it wouldn't be less than fifteen thousand taels. If the cost is too high, how many people do you think would be willing to spend this kind of money? "Feng Zhiyao thought for a moment before shaking his head and saying," There really wouldn't be too many. "There were many nobles in the capital and even more rich people. But if the cost of just this side hall was more than ten thousand taels, there wouldn't be many people willing to spend twenty to thirty thousand taels to build a greenhouse. If it was just for a profit of a hundred to two hundred thousand taels, there really wasn't a need. At least for now, there was no reason not to.
Ye Li said with a smile, "Actually, Master Feng's idea isn't bad. If the cost can be reduced to around one thousand taels … … there's still a market. "
Feng Zhiyao was disdainful, "What can one thousand taels make?"
"If it's only around one thousand taels, then the nobles in the capital, the rich merchants, and even the average well-off merchant would likely choose a greenhouse instead of silver charcoal. Then what if it's the entire Da Chu State … … or even Xiling Northern Militants? "Ye Li said with a faint smile.
Feng Zhiyao paused. Seeing that Mo Xiuyao didn't seem to have any intention of interrupting, he muttered to himself, "I'll mention it to Leng Er later."
"The Leng Er you're talking about should be the second young master of the Leng Family, Leng Haoyu, right?" Ye Li asked. "I don't seem to have heard that second young master Leng is close to Prince." Leng Haoyu was different from Feng Zhiyao and Mo Xiuyao, who had grown up together. He was a few years younger than them. When Mo Xiuyao was in trouble, Leng Haoyu should have only been a twelve or thirteen year old child. Moreover, the Leng Family was loyal to the Emperor. Feng Zhiyao nodded and looked strangely at Mo Xiuyao as he asked, "Did the Prince not mention this to the wangfei?" Mo Xiuyao said indifferently, "I sent a message to Leng Haoyu to have him come to the wangfu. He doesn't seem to be free." Feng Zhiyao seemed to have thought of something. He lowered his head and chuckled. "Two days ago, Leng Er went to drink with prostitutes and was bumped into by his future father-in-law. He was severely beaten up by General Murong, I reckon he still can't leave the house. "With Leng Er's personality, he definitely wouldn't reply to Mo Xiuyao and say that he was beaten up and couldn't leave the house.
Ye Li was startled and asked in surprise: "Second Young Master Leng was beaten up by General Murong?"
"That's right. Wangfei didn't see it at that time, but General Murong really didn't show any mercy. Poor Leng Haoyu, that kid, was not loved by his parents. Perhaps he was still lying in bed and ignored. Later, this young master should go and see him. "Feng Zhiyao gloated. Ye Li summoned someone to pour a cup of hot tea for Feng Zhiyao before asking: "Since Young Master Leng is Prince's friend, is he injured?" He's injured. Should we send someone to take a look? "Mo Xiuyao said," Just let Feng Zhiyao go. "Without waiting for Feng Zhiyao to answer, he said to him," When he can go out, let him come over. "
Feng Zhiyao knew that Mo Xiuyao wouldn't let them come to the wangfu if there wasn't a proper matter. He immediately put away the lazy smile on his face and nodded. "What orders does the Prince have?"
Mo Xiuyao took the file that Ye Li handed over and said: "This was just sent over from Nanjiang. Take a look."
Feng Zhiyao glanced at Ye Li, opened the file and read it carefully. The more he read, the uglier his expression became. When Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li finished their game of chess and left to put the chess pieces back into the box, he raised his head and said: "Mo Jingli secretly funded the rebellion of the Saintess of Nanjiang? What's going on? If I remember correctly, the Crown Princess of Nanjiang should be Princess Xi Xia's younger sister. In the future, once the Crown Princess succeeds the throne, Nanzhao will become Mo Jingli's greatest support. " Mo Xiuyao held the warm teacup and said lightly: "Don't forget that the King of Nanzhao is only forty years old this year. As long as there are no accidents, the Crown Princess will have to wait at least twenty years to succeed the throne. "
"The King of Nanzhao and Princess Xi Xia are also father and daughter. Would he not support his own son-in-law? "Feng Zhiyao said.
Mo Xiuyao shook his head and said: "I have interacted with the King of Nanzhao before. At the time, he was still the crown prince of Nanzhao. He is very cautious and smart. He definitely would not support Mo Jingli. If he would, two years ago when Mo Xiuyao went to Nanzhao, he would have married Princess Xi Xia to him and not have waited for Princess Xi Xia to come all the way to Da Chu State. The King of Nanzhao must have been very unhappy in the match in June. The chances of either him or the Crown Princess supporting Mo Jingli are not high. "Feng Zhiyao lowered his head to look at the file in his hand and said:" This is also the analysis. Then … when did Mo Jingli hook up with the Saintess of Nanjiang? "
Feng Zhiyao felt that they had really underestimated Mo Jingli in these past years. In his eyes, Mo Jingli had always been a hot-tempered fool. Even though he was a high and mighty imperial son and he was only the bastard son of a wealthy merchant, he had never thought much of Mo Jingli. But looking at the messy affairs in Jing these past two years, which one of them did not involve Mo Jingli? Especially in the past half year, he had discovered that there were many officials in court who supported the King of Li.
"It should have happened when he went to Nanjiang. After all, he had stayed in Nanjiang for a long time, "Mo Xiuyao said with a frown.
"Do you think … that person in the palace knows about this matter now?" Feng Zhiyao asked curiously. The brothers of the imperial family fighting each other was the most interesting.
"They shouldn't know. Your subordinates haven't received any news yet, have they? "Mo Xiuyao said. Feng Zhiyao's face darkened. He was in charge of receiving and receiving all kinds of news in the Ding King's manor. Now that the news from Nanzhao had already reached his manor, his subordinates had not received any news at all. Of course, he knew that it was not that Mo Xiuyao did not trust him. If he did not trust him, Mo Xiuyao would not have so easily shown him the news. But knowing that someone was more powerful than him was always uncomfortable.
"You don't need to feel ashamed. This news has not spread out yet. Other than the people who have seen this file, no one else knows. " Mo Xiuyao did not want to hurt his good friend too much and said, "But I cannot tell you the source of this news. Think of a way to hand it over to Mo Jingqi. "
"Hand it over to Mo Jingqi?" Feng Zhiyao raised his brows. "Won't he go crazy with anger? But it's also good to let them fight among themselves. That way, we will have more time to do other things. Do we need to send people to Nanjiang? Although the current chaos in Nanjiang is beneficial to us, it may not be so in the long run. " Nanzhao's people were valiant. Just like Zhou, they had long coveted Da Chu State's vast territory and abundant resources. However, their country was too weak. They had been defeated by Da Chu State several times and had no choice but to submit to Da Chu State.
"Right now, we have no one to send. There should be someone in Nanjiang who can handle it. Let's not worry about it for now. Is there any news from the Northern Tribes? "
Feng Zhiyao snorted softly. "After Xi Ling and Da Chu State's marriage alliance failed, their secret dealings with the Northern Tribes have become more frequent. I'm afraid that Lei Tengfeng has also sensed the problem between Mo Jingli and Mo Jingqi, so he decisively changed his mind. He plans to wait for Da Chu State's internal strife before joining forces with the Northern Tribes to attack. "
