Chapter 1636 I Want to Ask the Princess if She Is Short of Money

Yun Dai had no expression on her face and said: "Ji Wenyuan, take care of your soldiers and prepare for war. Don't deceive people here."

"Okay." Ji Wenyuan said, "By the way, there's one more thing. This war costs money. Daily meals for hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are a huge expense. It's getting cold, and you have to buy cotton-padded clothes. You have to give me money.”

"I have no money."

"You rejected me so unceremoniously?" Ji Wenyuan was not surprised. "You guys in Northern Qi are rich, everyone knows this. You can't just ask me to fight for you without giving you food to eat."

Yun Dai said: "I really have no money. But you, why are you crying about being poor? Do you think I don't know about your boss Ji's family background? Besides, Jiuli helps Beiqi fight the war. It is an agreement between Empress Rong and your mother. I am not asking you to come." Yes. Don’t come to me about food and clothing issues. I don’t care if you come to me.”

After that she left.

Ji Wenyuan stared at her back for a long time and murmured to himself: "Is there such a scoundrel woman in the world?"

"What do you mean, if the princess doesn't pay, you won't help fight the war?" Zhuang Yunshu came over at some point.

Ji Wenyuan quickly raised a smile: "How could it be? Even for your sake, I must do my best."

"You must try your best, but you are not allowed to ask for money from the princess." Zhuang Yunshu looked serious, "The princess is in a very difficult situation now. Everything in Northern Qi is a mess. Do you still want to ask for money?"

"I didn't ask for money, really. I just wanted to ask the princess if she was short of money..."

"Really?" Zhuang Yunshu was very happy, "I've been thinking about this for the past two days. At noon, the princess only ate white rice and vegetables. There wasn't even any meat, which made me feel bad. Or, you can get some money. Come out."

"Shall I get the money?"

"Yes." Zhuang Yunshu's eyes sparkled.

"How much, how much?"

"First take one million taels of silver, so that the palace can at least have better food. The princess also lacks people to serve her. How can only Eunuch Baoxing do it?" Zhuang Yunshu said, "You can bring back those palace maids who have been dismissed. Come."

"Where can I find it?"

"If you really can't find them, don't you have a lot of girls in Shiquan Town?"

"How dare I not only help her fight the war at my own expense, but also pay for her help?"

"You don't want to?" Zhuang Yunshu's smile disappeared, and tears filled her eyes, "In the past few days, I have been unable to eat. Seeing the princess busy for Daqi, I feel distressed and worried... If I had known this, why should I follow? When you come back, you might as well stay in the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, out of sight and out of mind..."

Ji Wenyuan couldn't bear her crying and immediately surrendered: "Hey, don't cry. Okay, okay, can't I give it to you?"

"Give what?"

"Money! People! Give them all!"

"Where?"

"I'll have someone do it right away. Hey." Ji Wenyuan looked at Zhuang Yunshu and burst into laughter. For some reason, he remembered Yun Dai's smile again.

He once again realized how badly he had been tricked by her.

…

Yun Dai was really surprised when she received one million taels of silver notes and twenty maids from Ji Wenyuan.

Ji Wenyuan is not as rich as the country, he is really richer than the country.

The Jiuli tribe has inherited a profound heritage for thousands of years, which is not comparable to countries like Northern Qi and Dazhou that only have a history of one or two hundred years.

With the help of the Jiuli tribe and the remaining wealth of the Northern Qi Dynasty, maybe they can really compete with Da Yiyi.

Looking at the banknote in her hand, Yun Dai fell into deep thought.
