Chapter 444 Business Matters
"Is that all the courage you have?"
Xiao Jingtian grabbed Singh's hair again, and with a thud, he slammed hard against the wall behind him.
Singer felt a sharp pain in the back of his head. He forced himself not to cry out loud, but his tears flowed even more.
"Jiang Yue, help me, save me..."
"Go ahead and shout! Even if you shout to the top of your lungs, no one will save you!" Xiao Jingtian's voice was gloomy, and a fierce smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
"If you have the guts, kill me!" Singh thought of Jiang Yue and suddenly didn't want to die anymore.
"Kill you? Wouldn't that be too easy for you?" Xiao Jingtian said coldly, closed the door and left.
Singh, who was left behind, looked around for a chance to escape.
...On the same night, Jiang Yue was wondering whether the two Xuanwu soldiers she sent out had found Singh.
Sitting alone on the edge of the parade ground, watching the soldiers laughing and playing, Jiang Yue felt the tranquility of the moment.
"I don't know what grandma is doing now." Jiang Wu Ni came over and sat next to Jiang Yue.
"Do you miss grandma?" Jiang Yue asked with a smile.
"Yeah, I miss my sisters too." This is the longest time Jiang Wuni has been away from home since she was born.
"If you want to go home, let your eldest and third brothers-in-law go with you."
"No rush." Jiang Wuni thought that when Xiaoliu had some free time, she would go home with her to visit grandma.
Jiang Yue saw what the fifth sister was thinking, but she was now the commander of the capital and had military duties to attend to, so how could she just go home?
"Right now, Princess Xining has disappeared, and the external threats from Northern Yan and Great Jin have not yet been resolved. When everything is safe, Xiaoliu will go back to her hometown with her sister to visit grandma and bring her to enjoy family happiness."
"Yeah." Jiang Wuni's eyebrows relaxed, and then she smiled and urged:
"Xiao Liu, it's getting late, go to bed early."
"Well, sister should go to bed early too." Jiang Yue pulled the fifth sister up and sent her back to the yard first.
The next day, Jiang Yue went to court as usual.
In the court, Zhao Chong, who had been resting for many days, attended the morning court.
And because he had recently received an important task from His Majesty, everyone's attention was on him.
Sitting on the dragon throne, Zhao Chongxiu asked loudly:
"Fourth brother, tomorrow is the day you will leave the capital and go to the border. Are you ready?"
"Everything is ready."
Zhao Chongzheng had never been to the border before, and as he approached departure, he felt less nervous and more calm.
The second and third princes were envious but also doubtful.
At this moment, Jiang Yue just learned that Zhao Chong was about to go to the border.
As soon as the court was dismissed, Zhao Chongzheng caught up with Jiang Yue.
"Young General, I'm leaving tomorrow. Would you mind having lunch with me?" He wanted to ask Jiang Yue for advice on military tactics. After all, he had never been to a battlefield, where swords were ruthless and he valued his life very much.
That's right, he has already started studying the art of war.
"Obedience is worse than respect." Jiang Yue had no reason to refuse.
Zhao Yuanzhen also ran over at some point.
"Fourth Uncle, I'll go with you."
"You are just a child, you should study hard at home." Zhao Chongzheng waved his hand, disapproving.
"Kid? The young general is a true hero on the battlefield, why can't I be the same?" Zhao Yuanzhen refused, but saw his father, who had just finished court, approaching him.
"Zhen'er, stop messing around!"
"Father, I want to gain experience."
"No!" Zhao Chongxiu has always been a person who minimizes danger.
Zhao Yuanzhen wanted to fight for it again, but when he saw his father's stern look, he could only lower his head and say nothing.
Zhao Chongzheng shook his head and went to the Fourth Prince's Mansion with Jiang Yue.
As soon as they arrived at the mansion gate, the second and third princes came uninvited.
During the banquet, the Second Prince was thinking again and continued playing drinking games with Jiang Yue.
"Young General, last time you said that we could play drinking games again when we have the chance. Now is the perfect time for us to compete."
Jiang Yue's lips were slightly stiff. Damn this desire to win.
The Third Prince shook his head and said, "Young General, we haven't finished talking about the business matters we discussed last time."
Jiang Yue didn't know where to start.
Zhao Chongzheng looked at his two brothers helplessly.
"You two are here to cause trouble for me, right?"
He stood up and pushed the two of them out of their seats, and finally closed the kitchen door with a bang.
The two princes outside the kitchen looked at each other in dismay and finally had to leave.
During the meal, Zhao Chongzheng began to humbly seek advice from Jiang Yue.
"Young General, you are good at leading troops in battle. I believe you have read a lot of military books. Tell me, how do you usually deploy troops for battle?"
Jiang Yue said based on past experience:
"Your Highness, the deployment of troops must be adapted to the local conditions. If it is a mountainous area, you can use the terrain to set up an ambush; on a plain, the cavalry can play to their advantage, and the infantry must form a square formation to resist the impact."
Zhao Chongzheng was listening attentively and nodded continuously.
"How do we ensure the food and supplies?"
"A dedicated logistics team is needed, and supply points can be set up along the marching route."
"..."
The next day, Jiang Yue said goodbye to the Fourth Prince early in the morning.
Before leaving, Zhao Chongzheng took some explosives for self-defense, but due to limited fuel, he did not take much.
It was still early after the court was dismissed, so Jiang Yue passed by a grain store and went in to check, thinking about reconciling the accounts with His Majesty.
Because the fifth sister's injuries have not yet recovered, she is not here.
What she didn't know was that her fifth sister was currently entertaining two uninvited princes, and she herself didn't know that they were princes.
"My two lords, my brother has not returned home yet. I will tell him if he has anything to say."
The Second Prince: "We can wait if he's not here."
The Third Prince: "Miss, we don't know how to do business, so we came here to ask you something."
In fact, the two princes wanted to make friends with Jiang Yue because she was good at fighting and was a close friend of their brother.
Otherwise, there are so many businessmen who know how to do business, and there are also many people who are following them. They can completely choose to hand over the business to their servants and deal with those people. They are only responsible for collecting money.
"What's the business matter?" Jiang Wuni's question led to countless follow-up events.
...Inside the grain shop, two workers were busy. It was a rare occasion for them to see Jiang Yue, so they were a little hesitant.
I went to the palace in the afternoon to check accounts with His Majesty.
In the imperial study, Zhao Chongxiu carefully looked at the account book presented by Jiang Yue and nodded secretly.
He originally guessed that the grain merchant had something to do with the Jin Dynasty, so he wanted Jiang Yue to deal with it. That's why he assigned her this task.
Looking at it now, I can't help but praise: "I didn't expect that the young general is also a good businessman. He is busy with war all day, but he can still keep the accounts clear at a glance."
"The accounts are all done by my sister, and she also takes care of the business." Jiang Yue just made the arrangements, and everything else was done by Jiang Wuni.
"Can a woman have such talent?" Zhao Chongxiu said casually as he continued to flip through the account book in his hand.
Today, Jiang Yue came out of the palace and just returned home in the afternoon, she saw her fifth sister, the second prince and the third prince sitting in the hall of the mansion, talking about something.
