After watching the opera troupes' performances, Yang Ruqing had a better understanding of the situation.

These people are indeed capable. As long as they are used well, they will be good material for publicity in the future.

Especially Li Si's and Li Wu's two little girls, she seemed to see another version of herself.

She was also gifted back then, born with hypermobile joints, making her perfect material for martial arts. She underwent rigorous training from a young age and eventually became a top-tier special agent.

After coming to this place, she was influenced by this body and became less decisive and swift in her actions than in her past life.

Having ties is one reason, and having a physique inferior to the previous life is also an important reason.

But Li Si and Li Wu were different. They were truly gifted, accomplishing twice the results with half the effort in martial arts training.

But, they must be willing. Yang Ruqing doesn't want to force them either.

She decided to leave this matter to Yun'nia. If the two of them were willing to learn martial arts, she would have Ziyan take them under her wing. That should be enough.

Ziyān's methods are similar to Yang Ruqing's, and because of her focus, she is more suitable than Yang Ruqing in teaching skills.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“Madam, the idle prince has sent a letter.” Hongxiu entered the side room and drew out a letter from her sleeve.

Crimson lacquer, gilt lettering, with the inscription: "Yang shi, wife of Lord Zhongyong, granted the title of First Rank..."

The gist of it is an invitation for Yang Ruoheng to visit for a banquet.

"Finally here," Yang Ruqing smiled faintly.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Last time Qi Xingchen said that he would host a banquet at the mansion, inviting Changning County Princess to come and talk.

After so long, he finally managed to hold the banquet. He should have successfully invited Princess Changning by now.

"Hongxiu, get ready the carriage. We're going to the idle prince's mansion," Yang Ruqing said.

For this banquet, she was well-prepared. Taking down a simpleton like Changning County Princess wouldn't be difficult at all.

The carriage arrived at the Xi'an Wangfu, it was almost noon.

The grand steward of the Qi Xingchen Manor welcomed Yang Ruqing into the main hall. Inside, Prince Xianwang Qi Xingchen and Princess Changning were waiting for her.

"I have met the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Valor," Changning County Princess actually bowed to Yang Ruqing, her attitude completely unlike her previous arrogance, instead appearing very low-key.

"Changning made a mistake last time, and I hope Madam can forgive him." Changning's attitude was very respectful.

But Yang Ruqing saw her unwillingness and resentment in her eyes. It seemed that coming to make peace was not her intention, it must be the meaning of King Zhuang.

"It's nothing, it's wise of you to come today. King Xian has already told me about this business and I'm willing to make a fortune with you." Yang Ruqing said with a smile.

“Making a fortune? My lady, what kind of business, how to make a fortune?” Changning County Princess' eyes lit up and all the fat on her body trembled.

"The wool business, if you invest, you could make at least this much money in a year!"

Yang Ruqing extended three fingers.

“Two hundred taels of silver?”

"No."

"Two thousand taels?"

"Wrong."

"Could it be twenty thousand taels?" Changning County Princess' voice trembled a little. If there were really twenty thousand taels, wouldn't that be like reaching the heavens?

It should be noted that even today, Daqi's annual treasury revenue is only around 20 million taels of silver.

"Well, it's twenty thousand taels." Yang Ruqing's lips curled into a slight smile.

Changning County Princess covered her mouth, utterly shocked, she could hardly speak.

200,000 taels of silver. It was a number she couldn't even imagine. Even at the height of her grandfather’s reign, the tax revenue from their land wouldn't have reached this amount, and that included all the income from the entire estate.

Now that I'm able to earn this much in a year, I'd be ecstatic!

Buy what you want, eat what you want.

... Even one can build their favorite courtyard and garden.

When she thought about it, a strand of saliva dripped from the corner of Chang Ning County Master's mouth and fell to the ground.

"My lady, you're serious? Are you sure it's twenty thousand taels?"

Lord Changning looked at Yang Ruqing with different eyes. The bit of hostility she had before completely vanished, replaced by greed and respect.

Yang Ruqing smiled faintly and said calmly, "There will only be more, not less. As long as you sign the contract and become a shareholder, your annual dividend is guaranteed."

Yang Ruqing patted her hands, Hongxiu took a tray and put it on the table.

There was a thousand taels of silver notes in the tray, along with a copy of the agreement.

“This thousand taels is an advance payment of part of the dividends. Every month, you’ll have about 20,000 taels coming in. As long as you sign this contract, this money will be yours.” Yang Ruqing said.

Changning County Princess hesitated for a moment.

It is a fact that she loves money dearly, but some agreements are not to be signed lightly. After all, she is not a true fool; she also received elite education from the Prince's Manor and has learned some calligraphy, painting, chess, and music.

"Don't worry, there are no traps in the agreement. Just take a look for yourself," Yang Ruqing said with a smile.

"Let me take a look first." Changning County Princess stretched out her chubby finger, picked up the agreement on the table, and carefully examined it, line by line.

Finally, she realized that her task was to stop those unruly princes from the capital who came to disrupt the business maliciously. She had to wholeheartedly represent her clan at court and support the business.

What's difficult about it?

If she really signs this agreement, then she'll have her own share of the business. For the sake of making money, she has to put all her effort into managing it.

These are all businesses involving wool and related products, nothing extraordinary or off-limits.

These things are really nothing compared to the annual income of 200,000 taels.

After making sure there were no traps inside, Changning County Princess took the brush and signed her name with a few strokes.

Then, she took out the specially made County Princess seal from the Imperial Court and stamped it on the agreement.

From now on, we'll be a family. We'll make money together and share the blessings together.

Yang Ruqing smiled and said.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!

After they had reached an agreement, the banquet that followed was truly a celebration of camaraderie and hospitality.

Chang Ning County Princess had drunk quite a bit of wine, a thousand taels tucked into her pocket, her face smiling so much that the fat folds on her cheeks were piled on top of each other.

"Rest assured, madam. No one can take money from my hands. If anyone dares to interfere with our business, I, Changning, will deal with them."

Changning County Princess patted her chest to guarantee, her voice even more imposing.

But man perishes for wealth, and a bird for food. For money's sake, the Princess of Changning is determined to go all out.

“My lady, anyone who attacks our factory will not be shown mercy,” Yang Ruqing raised an eyebrow.

"Who has the guts, to seek death." Changning County Princess raised her eyebrows and scolded angrily.

At this moment, Yang Ruohua knew that her plan had succeeded.

As expected, money is a good thing. If things can't be done, it's not because the money isn't working; it's just that the amount of money given isn't enough.

After sending off the Changning County Princess, Qi Xingchen looked at Yang Ruohua meaningfully and smiled: "Ruohua, you are truly masterful. The Changning County Princess has been dealt with by you." Please note that "<<" and ">>" are not standard HTML tags. They might be used for specific purposes within a larger code snippet or markup language.

"Rest assured, your silver won't be missing. This is a shared opportunity, everyone gets a share." Yang Ruqing said.
