Chapter 122 Letter from Luoyang
After a dozen more lashes, Master Wang heard his son's groans gradually fade away, and he couldn't help but plead, "Princess, please have mercy!"

Wang Shenyan couldn't fight anymore. No matter how useless his brother was, he was still his biological brother from the same mother. Being alive was better than being dead.

"Mr. Wang, you have such a deep love for your son. Let's just leave it at that," Tang Zhao ordered. "Send the second son of the Wang family to Renxin Hall with those severely injured little beggars. This will make it easier for the Wang family to take care of him together."

When Mr. Wang saw the palace guards carrying his son away without even a stretcher, he felt heartbroken but dared not say anything and felt extremely uncomfortable.

Tang Zhao sighed, "Love your own children, and love the children of others. Master Wang loves his own son, so he should also love and love other people's children."

Mr. Wang thought to himself, "Why should I care about other people's children?" But he agreed, "As the princess taught me, I have prepared generous gifts and sent someone to apologize to Hanzhang Street."

He said as he handed over the indenture, "This is Miss Xiaohong's indenture, please accept it, Princess."

Tang Zhao took it and tore it up in front of the Wang family father and son, warning, "If it happens again, I won't be so polite."

The Wang family father and son responded in agreement.

Tang Zhao achieved his goal and asked his men to see him off. Master Wang hurriedly said, "Princess, please excuse me. I have something important to discuss with you."

"What's the matter?"

Wang Shenyan bowed and said, "I'd like to ask the princess for the recipe for making soybean oil."

It's finally here! Tang Zhao shouted excitedly in his heart, but his face remained calm, "Why is this princess selling soybean oil recipes?"

Wang Shenyan pointed out the problem, "Because the princess is making absolutely no profit from selling soybean oil."

An arrow pierced Tang Zhao's fragile heart. She smiled without changing her expression. "Why do you think so?"

"The princess set the price of soybean oil at ten cents per catty, but the cost is also close to ten cents per catty." Ever since soybean oil came into being, Wang Shenyan has been collecting relevant information everywhere and has already figured out the entire operating model and profits of the soybean oil mill.

"Soybean prices and worker wages are unprecedentedly high throughout the entire Northwest. Add to that the shop rent, employee wages, material losses, and so on. It's already difficult for the princess to make a profit of even half a cent per pound of soybean oil."

Tang Zhao said nothing.

Silence is tacit agreement, and Wang Shenyan is even more confident. "Soybean oil has low profit margins, so we can only adopt the path of small profits but quick turnover. However, the people's livelihood in Northwest China is declining and the economy is sluggish, so soybean oil is simply not selling well!"

"If the princess wants to make money from soybean oil, she can only sell soybean oil recipes!"

Wang Shenyan finished speaking in one breath, his forehead covered with sweat. He had never understood why Princess Zhaoshan sent people all the way to Luoyang to sell soybean oil. It was not until he received the order from the Yang family to buy the soybean oil recipe that he figured out Princess Zhaoshan's thoughts!
Wang Shenyan couldn't help but feel frightened. How could Princess Zhaoshan be so experienced in doing business at such a young age?

Tang Zhao's plan was exposed, so he simply asked directly, "How much is your Wang family's offer?"

Mr. Wang said nervously, "Three, three hundred thousand taels."

Tang Zhao sneered, "This princess thinks the number of three million taels sounds better."

Mr. Wang laughed awkwardly, "The princess is joking."

"Master Wang was the one who started joking," Tang Zhao said as he escorted the guest away. "Master Wang, please think carefully about the value of this soybean oil recipe before you come back to me for an offer!"

"But this princess would like to kindly remind Master Wang that this princess not only sells soybean oil to Luoyang, but also to Jiangnan." Tang Zhao turned and left. "If someone gets there first, Master Wang, don't regret it."

"Princess!" Mr. Wang was anxious, but was stopped by the guards and forcibly sent out of the house.

Mr. Wang got into the carriage and asked, "What should we do?"

"Three hundred thousand taels is already the Wang family's limit. If the price goes up any further, the Wang family won't be able to afford it," Wang Shenyan ordered. "Hurry back home and prepare the horses. This young master is going to the Yang Mansion in Lanzhou!"

The coachman responded and drove the carriage back home quickly.

Inside the Yunye Courtyard, Tang Zhao tapped his teacup lightly. "Hasn't there been any letters from Luoyang yet?"

"I'll go ask," Chunfeng said as she ran into Chaoyi, who was delivering a letter, just as she left the house. She shouted, "Miss, there's a letter from Luoyang!"

"Hurry up and give it to me!" Tang Zhao took the letter and read it carefully. It took him a full quarter of an hour to finish reading it. He then handed the letter to Chunfeng. Chunfeng read it quickly.

Chao Yi paused with outstretched hand:?

After reading the letter, Chunfeng folded it and put it back into the envelope before handing it to Chaoyi.

Tang Zhao ordered, "Send it to the military camp."

Chaoyi took the order and left.

After Chunfeng and the others left, he frowned and said, "Miss, it turns out that the Wang family works for the Crown Prince. Shouldn't we ask for too much?"

"Working for the Crown Prince?" Tang Zhao laughed. "The Wang family can't climb up the Crown Prince's tree!"

Chunfeng was surprised, "Huh?"

Tang Zhao explained to her, "The Wang family is related to the Yang family by marriage. The eldest lady of the Yang family is the Crown Princess's aunt. With this relationship, the Wang family is so lucky to be able to get close to the Crown Princess's family!"

"But now, whether or not the Wang family's ancestral tomb can emit green smoke depends on this princess's mood."

Chunfeng was delighted, "Then I can ask for a high price, right?"

Almost there, Tang Zhao ordered, "Go, find out everything about the Wang and Yang families' assets in Wuwei, or I'll take a big bite out of them!"

Chunfeng ran out the door excitedly, then came back when he realized something was wrong. "Are you investigating the Yang family too?"

Tang Zhao nodded.

"But what if the Yang family refuses to agree?"

Tang Zhaoru was like a fortune teller on the street, "They will agree."

Chun Feng frowned, "I don't understand."

"I don't know if you read the letter carefully just now," Tang Zhao sighed, "It says in the letter that my second sister married into the Crown Prince's Mansion as a concubine last month."

Chunfeng was not convinced, "What's wrong with a concubine? After all, she's still a concubine!"

"How can you not grasp the key point, little girl?" Tang Zhao said bluntly, "The Duke of Wei's Mansion and the Crown Prince's Mansion are getting married!"

"It's a marriage!" Chun Feng didn't care. "The Duke has been demoted anyway, so the Second Miss will definitely have a hard time under the Crown Princess's rule!"

You talk to her about government affairs, and she talks to you about the harem. Tang Zhao began to understand why the man who was so powerful outside didn't want to say a word when he returned home.

Because there is really nothing to say.

Tang Zhao waved his hands tiredly, "Go check it out quickly."

Oh, Chunfeng pouted.

On the other side, Chao Yi galloped the letter to Gu Ci. Jiang Yiming, who was eating beside him, teased, "Is this a love letter from the princess to the general?"

Gu Ci put down his bowl and chopsticks, took the letter, read it, and handed it to Jiang Yiming expressionlessly.

When Jiang Yiming saw the last line, his face suddenly darkened. He pulled King Xuan, who was eating happily, back to the main tent.

King Xuan:!
The soup is about to spill!
In the main tent, Prince Xuan was about to discuss the principles of diet and health with his military advisor when he heard Jiang Yiming say, "The second daughter of the Duke of Wei's mansion has entered the Crown Prince's mansion as a concubine."

King Xuan's expression darkened, "I'm afraid the northwest will be unstable."
