I support the army through farming and business.

Chapter 41: Making a Deal
Tang Zhao sighed. She did get to hook up with a rich man, but he had no money, only looks.

Unfortunately, she was born with a bland taste, she doesn’t like beauty, she only loves money!
What an irreconcilable contradiction.

Tang Zhao sighed. Since the way of relying on rich men was not feasible, she could only become a rich man herself. She pondered, what should she write this time?
The people of Northwest China are tough and martial. When foreign enemies invade, even the entire nation becomes a soldier. The patriotic heroism is deeply rooted in the hearts of every Northwest son and daughter. Tang Zhao clasped his hands together. Is there anything more suitable than "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?
Tang Zhao has been immersed in business for more than ten years. She believes that her conscience has been eaten by dogs, but she still has some moral integrity. She gave up the pen name of Liaozhai Jushi and put on the vest of Mr. Jin Yong. When people sing the songs in the future, it will be regarded as a tribute to Mr. Jin Yong.

Tang Zhao wrote down the five big characters of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and signed his name below: Mr. Jin Yong.

In this way, there will be nothing wrong.

Chunfeng and the other man happened to come back, and Tang Zhao hurriedly recruited young men. The three of them worked together and finished writing the first twenty chapters in just five days.

The autumn rain wore away three pieces of ink, and the spring breeze's hands became numb and lost all feeling.

Tang Zhao drank throat medicine for five consecutive days, and it felt like a blunt knife cutting his throat every time he swallowed his saliva.

It's like slitting one's throat to commit suicide.

Princess Ming was very surprised to receive another book written by her brother-in-law and sister-in-law. The "New Legend of White Snake" was selling so well that her father and brothers from her natal family wrote to her many times, urging her to discuss with her brother-in-law and sister-in-law to write a few more books, and the price was negotiable.

When the news of his younger brother and sister-in-law beating the drum to file a complaint to the emperor spread throughout Dayu, his father and brother's urging words stopped abruptly and became: Forget it, this princess is someone who can do great things, don't let writing the storybook delay her.

Ming was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Now that Tang Zhao took the initiative to come and propose to continue the cooperation, Ming naturally agreed and offered to share the profits, giving 30% of the profits for each book sold.

Tang Zhao thanked her for her kindness, shook his head like a rattle, and gestured with his hands.

Ming:?
"Princess, our daughter said she doesn't want a share of the profits, and would rather buy it out as before."

"But the price is higher than before," Qiu Yu said embarrassedly, meeting the Crown Princess's gaze. "Fifty taels per copy!"

Nanny Ming gasped.

Fifty taels!
Why don't you just go and grab it?!

Ming was also silent, staring at the freshly printed notebook in her hand in a daze.

This is a completely different subject matter and content from the previous one. She believes that her literary talent is even better than "The Legend of the New White Snake", but would the young men and women who grew up in the wealthy countryside of Jiangnan like to read about fighting and killing in the martial arts world?
Ming was not sure.

"I still need to write to my father and brother."

Tang Zhao gestured again, and Qiuyu translated, "I'm afraid it's too late. The young lady needs money in the next two days."

Mei Guanya sent in two or three letters, saying that if the money was not enough, the seller would sell the shop to someone else.

Ming was conflicted, but finally gritted her teeth and said, "In that case, I'll buy it."

One thousand taels of silver is not even as much as the dividend her parents gave her.

Tang Zhao smiled brightly, took the banknote and left Qingmo Hall, got on the carriage and went to Qingyu Road.

Mei Guanya and the seller didn't expect the princess to come in person. They knelt on the ground and couldn't stand up.

The guards had to carry the two men to sit on the steps in front of the door.

Tang Zhao waited patiently, and Qiuyu glared at the two of them with disappointment.

Mei Guanya and the gaijia smiled bitterly at each other. The highest official they had ever seen in their lives was only a fourth-rank prefect, who was kneeling in the crowd from a distance and peeking at them secretly.

Could you imagine that you could see the princess alive?
It can be written into the family tree.

Half an incense stick later, Mei Guanya finally stood up with the help of the door, and said, "I am terrified, please forgive me, Princess." As he said this, he was about to kneel down.

The seller then slid to his knees.

Tang Zhao waved his hand, and Qiuyu said, "The princess won't bother with you, get up quickly," she urged, "Can you stand up now?" Mei Guanya and the seller gritted their teeth, raised their trembling arms, opened the lock on the hanging door, and pushed it open with force.

"Please come in, Princess."

Tang Zhao got off the carriage and stepped over the threshold first.

The seller's voice was even shriller than Zhou Dajian's, which annoyed Tang Zhao. He simply didn't need his introduction and looked at it himself.

This is a large courtyard with three entrances, covering an area of ​​about ten acres. It is built of blue bricks and red tiles and is extremely solid. The courtyards are separated by walls, but they are connected to each other without interfering with each other. The most important thing is that there are two wells in the courtyard.

Apart from the fact that it was too tattered, Tang Zhao was generally satisfied, but she didn't show it on her face. Just kidding, if she showed it, how could she bargain for a lower price?
The seller followed her nervously, not daring to look at the princess, but just kept winking at Mei Guanya.

Mei Guanya pretended not to see it.

Tang Zhao glanced at Qiu Yu, who asked, "I wonder how much this house is worth?"

The seller said boldly, "One thousand three hundred taels."

Tang Zhao shook his head and said it was too expensive.

The seller knew he was asking for too much, so he stopped stuttering and complained for a while. Seeing no one was paying attention, he took a step back and said, "One thousand two hundred taels."

Tang Zhao shook his head. Qiu Yu put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "You are such a jerk! How dare you ask for such an exorbitant price? Believe it or not, I will report you to the prefect and have you charged with disrupting the market!"

The seller was so frightened that he stammered, "Then, what about the 1,180 taels?

Tang Zhao:.
So you just lowered the price by twenty taels?

Tang Zhao offered a price, "Nine hundred taels!"

The seller's eyes widened, the word "no" stuck in his throat. Mei Guanya laughed, "My Lady Princess, nine hundred taels is really too little for such a big yard." She pinched the seller hard, "Why don't you give me a reasonable price!"

The seller rubbed the back of his bruised hand and said tearfully, "One thousand one hundred and fifty taels."

Tang Zhao looked at him silently.

"One thousand one hundred and thirty taels."

Tang Zhao's eyes became increasingly cold.

"One thousand one hundred and ten taels."

"One thousand one hundred taels."

. . . . . .

"One thousand and fifty taels!" The seller squatted on the ground with his head in his hands. "I really can't lower the price any further."

He doesn't make much money anymore.

Tang Zhao turned and left.

"Princess! Princess, please stay," Mei Guanya kicked the seller hard. The seller didn't expect Tang Zhao to leave as soon as he said he would. His yard has been in Mei Guanya's hands for half a year. He asked for a high price and it was far away from the city center. Rich people didn't like it, and ordinary people couldn't afford so much money, so it has been stuck here.

Now he is in trouble and needs money to settle it. If he misses today, he will probably lower the price even more in the future!
"My Lady, My Lady!" Money gave him courage. He walked past the crowd and knelt at Tang Zhao's feet, blocking his way. "One thousand taels! I'll sell you for one thousand taels!"

Tang Zhao was speechless. With such a domineering tone and such compromising words, people who didn't know the truth would think he had lost money!
This price was barely acceptable. Tang Zhao didn't want to haggle with him over a few taels of silver. Her time was so precious, so she ordered Qiuyu to go with her to the yamen to complete the business procedures, and she took the carriage back to the palace.
