Chapter 718: Manager Yi is a Master at Shearing Sheep!

an old booklet from his bosom.The booklet was clearly often read, its edges were frayed.Jia Yi handed the items to his younger sister and said with a smile, "Sister, I've found everything you wanted....The Lord chuckled, rubbing her hair and sighing, "That day, you really buried over a hundred people from the Chen family. Your foster father wouldn't worry about you anymore."

"It's a pity that the matter of Fuhong Paste couldn't be cleared up, otherwise those people wouldn't have lived to dig ditches!"

As the father and daughter chatted, they soon arrived at the city gate.

The Lord changed horses and hurried to the dock.

Grandma He and Shuiling got into a carriage outside and rushed to the palace.

The title of "Jiayin, the Princess of Kangle" is still quite useful.

After delivering the sign, Feng Gonggong came to the door in person to greet them.

Jia Yin slipped a red envelope into his hand, calling it a festive New Year's gift.

Mr. Feng was coaxed into a broad smile, revealing quite a few pieces of information.

Although the Emperor had already stopped writing and was waiting for the New Year, he still received an urgent dispatch yesterday.

Three hundred miles east of Xindu, a county town was hit by a sudden heavy snowfall. The county magistrate was an incompetent man who failed to provide timely relief, resulting in the deaths of over two hundred people.

The Emperor was furious last night and sent officials to handle the situation this morning, but his mood remains sour.

Jia Yin nodded, understanding what she needed to do. She quickly decided to go with a cute and innocent act today!

Thus, upon entering the Imperial study, she broke into her most radiant smile and ran towards the Emperor, her voice brimming with joy.

"Uncle Emperor, your little money goddess, Xiao Funiu, has come to deliver silver!"

As expected, the Emperor burst into laughter upon hearing this. He personally got up and took the little chubby girl in his arms, led her to sit down, and said with a smile, "Well then, our two businesswomen are here to report their earnings! How has business been these past few days"

"With my imperial uncle's dragon aura protecting us, the business must flourish! The silver will be like long legs, rushing desperately into our shop!"

Jia Yin patted her chest, a smug and arrogant look on her face, which caused the emperor to burst into laughter again.

Finally, he simply flipped through the account book in the white clouds, and was taken aback once again.

"A confectionery shop, in just a few months, has already made over six thousand taels of profit That's enough to cover half a year's tax revenue for an entire county!"

Jia Yin quickly peeked out the study door and whispered to the Emperor, "Uncle Emperor, please don't be so loud. Be careful someone might hear you."

"Our business is incredibly profitable! A birthday cake costs ten taels of silver, but the cost is only a few hundred copper coins. Of course, we make a profit!"

"After I've expanded the branches all over Tianwu, I'll earn enough silver to build a bigger palace for Uncle Emperor!"

The Emperor found it both amusing and heartwarming.

Think about those officials who feast on the corpses, then look at this innocent and plump girl in front of you. She is transparently liking from her heart outwards.

But that wasn't all. Jia Yin cried out for Feng Gonggong to help her carry the New Year's gifts she had prepared upstairs.

In fact, there wasn't anything particularly special. The vegetables and fruits that others found rare, the Emperor never stopped having them delivered.

Because General Yi was a master at fleece-grabbing, when the royal farm's greens were poor quality, he fixated on the Li family this winter...

So, this time Jia Yin added eight pots of peonies and two pots of kumquats besides fruits and vegetables.

Each peony pot is in full bloom, its magnificent display brings joy to anyone who sees it.

And replaced the two pots at the door with kumquats.

Because those two kumquats were worse off than Li's "sheep," they had already been stripped bare.

All leaves, no gold at all!

Jia Yin accompanied the Emperor as he ate fruit, telling him many amusing anecdotes about opening shops. After settling the silver notes, she prepared to take her leave.

She tugged at the emperor's robe and whispered, "Your Majesty, Fu Niuer doesn't want to go to Shou Kang Palace or Kun Ning Palace. Could you please send someone to deliver Fu Niuer's New Year's gifts"

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, instructing, "Good, this is a small matter. You should go home early."

"Thank you, Royal Uncle!" Jia Yin smiled again like a blossoming flower, then bowed and happily left the palace.

The Emperor sighed and instructed Yi, the chief steward.

"This child is innocent and naive. It's best for her to stay here. Go run an errand for me and deliver these things to her."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Easy Steward replied with a smile, lowering his head to conceal the helplessness in his eyes.

A little girl, a few years old, could make the Emperor dance around her finger. How could she possibly be described as "innocent"

Unfortunately, the emperor didn't feel that way. He carefully put those several thousand silver bills into a box.

Although he was the ruler of a nation, and wealthy beyond measure.

But these few thousand taels of silver were different. They were what he, as a host, had earned back!

Before < p > Yi Zongguan could leave, the third princess rushed in excitedly.

She also held a ledger, happily presenting it to the emperor along with the treasure.

"Father, look how much silver my shop has made!"

The Emperor couldn't bear to disappoint his beloved daughter, and it was rare for this foolish child to do something right. So, he patiently took the account book and glanced over it.

He frowned and asked, "Your branch has been open for over a month, and the profit is only over a hundred taels"

The Third Princess was taken aback and replied, "Father thinks we're not earning enough silver"

Her eyes rolled, and she immediately changed her tune, starting to complain.

"It's all that Li Jia Yin's fault. She never gives the branches any good stuff, afraid I'll steal her business. She even launched a new product recently without telling me a word, hmph, I haven't had a chance to settle scores with her yet!"

The Emperor rubbed his temples and asked, "Is this profit after deducting the wages of brokers and others, and all other expenses"

The Third Princess, where did she know She took the ledger from Bao Lei's hand, saw that she had made money and hurried over.

She could only grit her teeth and say: "All the workers are servants of the Bao family, they don't get paid. They tidy up the shop for free, and it's Bao Lei who tidies it up too. We didn't use any capital at all!"

"It's because Li Jiayin set the selling price too high, leaving me with very little profit. She also secretly sold new products and took all the customers away, so that's..."

The Emperor had simply had enough. He was too weary to explain further, waving dismissively. "I'm tired," he said, "Go back."

The Third Princess was extremely wronged and cried out, "Father! You see Li Jia Yin that despicable girl and you smile with delight. Why do you frown upon me I am your biological daughter! You are biased!"

Having said that, she turned and ran.

Needless to say, she naturally went to the Empress to complain with tears.

The Emperor's hard-won good mood was lost again.

He pointed at the door and said to Yi, the chief eunuch, "What can I possibly say to her in this state"

She said she wanted to do business, but didn't put up any capital or effort. She just handed over the shop to the Bao family. The Bao family went crazy trying to find money everywhere; how could they possibly invest in her business

“This ledger is clearly wrong, the Bao family has embezzled the silver, and she can’t even see it. How did I give birth to such a foolish daughter!”

"Every time, she's compared to Funiu'er. If she's half as good as Funiu'er, I wouldn't be so angry!"

Yi Zongguan couldn't point out the Third Princess's mistakes, so he could only smile and reassure the Emperor.

"The Third Princess is still young and doesn't understand the wickedness of people. The Bao family is becoming increasingly bold in their actions now, acting like a cornered animal."

After some time, that important matter will be cleared up and settled. When the Third Princess sees the true face of the Bao family then, she will naturally understand!
