After seeing off Hai Tianyi, Hai Tianyue and Zhao Dan, the sky had darkened slightly.
Jing Mingli ran to Mrs.
Jing very excitedly and vividly told the story of winning the reward.
She also handed a hundred taels of gold into Mrs.
Jing's hand and said, "Grandma, we have these people in our family."
With money, life will be easier, and you no longer have to look at other people’s looks to earn a living.”
Old Mrs.
Jing was much more sophisticated.
She patted Jing Mingli's shoulder gently and said sincerely: Girl Mingli, why don't you go and thank your sister?
Without her, how could you get the reward from the prince?"
Jing Mingli pursed her lips in disdain, and was about to argue when she saw the look in Mrs.
Jing's hand.
She quickly swallowed her words, came to Jing Xiaotian with a smile, and said, "Sister, you are so wonderful."
Well, we can still have the honor of meeting the prince and get such rewards."
"This is all the result of your own efforts and has nothing to do with me.
Now that you have the money, you should not come here again in the future.
Of course, if you want to see King Zhennan, I will send Ma Qin to take you there directly. , it can be regarded as fulfilling the friendship of sisters."
After Jing Xiaotian finished speaking, he let out a long yawn and said, "I've been busy all day, and I'm really tired.
I won't see you off early tomorrow morning when you go back."
After saying that, he stood up and left.
Jing Mingli's smiling face disappeared in an instant.
She glared at Jing Xiaotian's back with resentment and gritted her teeth.
The news that King Zhennan came to inspect the Ziyang territory soon reached the ears of Hai Tian Ao.
He was keenly aware that Hai Tian was clearly declaring his sovereignty.
Hai Tianyi's attitude is becoming increasingly tough now, and he is afraid that a head-on confrontation will soon come.
Hai Tianao thought for a long time and decided to retreat to avoid Hai Tianyi's sharp edge.
Therefore, he asked Hai Tianjiao to return to Shilan City temporarily, meet with his mother, discuss countermeasures, and make comprehensive arrangements in order to completely destroy Hai Tianyi with one blow.
However, in Jing Xiaotian's view, the arrival of King Zhennan is more like a kind of finding out than an honor.
As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong.
Jing Xiaotian's achievements in the Ziyang territory in the past six months are obvious to all, and they have already spread on the grassland through word of mouth among the slaves.
Everyone said that she was a money rake.
Wherever she went, she made money.
A straw stick would turn into gold bars in her hands.
At the beginning, Jing Xiaotian was quite contented, but gradually he felt uncomfortable.
If this continues, he is afraid that the first rafters will rot first.
While she was thinking about it, King Zhennan had already visited Ziyang's territory in person and had a thorough investigation of her family background.
Only then did a rumbling alarm bell ring in Jing Xiaotian's heart, and she suddenly understood why Zhao Dan had told her not to put all her eggs in the same basket.
It's not too late to make amends.
After a night of tossing and turning, Jing Xiaotian decided to transfer his property immediately.
The next day, Jing Xiaotian called Ma Qin in at dawn, saying that he had been in this territory for almost half a year and wanted to check the accounts.
Ma Qin quickly handed the neatly bound account book into Jing Xiaotian's hands.
Jing Xiaotian looked at the neat handwriting on the account book and couldn't help but ask: "Who kept this account?"
"Back to the lord, it was written down by my slave.
It's not bad.
The money is well sealed in the treasury.

You can check it at any time."
Jing Xiaotian couldn't help but glance at Ma Qin again.
She knew that Ma Qin was capable, but she didn't expect that his financial intelligence was so high.
In half a year, he actually earned thirty thousand taels of silver for the territory.
Jing Xiaotian simply thought it was... he made a mistake Moreover, he, who was illiterate before, actually learned to write and keep accounts in such a short period of time.
This person is really a rare talent.
Jing Xiaotian had many thoughts in his mind, but he remained calm on the surface and just said: "Okay, let's go to the library to check the money now."
On the way, Jing Xiaotian chatted with Ma Qin for the first time about his life experience.
Only then did he learn that Ma Qin’s ancestors were originally from the Xiyue Kingdom and a business family.
He only became a slave because he was captured.
He himself was in the Andai Kingdom.
Those who are born are so-called domestic slaves.
When Ma Qin talked about this, his tone was very calm, as if he was telling someone else's story.
On the contrary, Jing Xiaotian was very sad.
Asked if Ma Qin’s parents were still alive Ma Qin smiled with relief and said: "Slaves don't have parents.
Life and death depend on their masters."
Upon hearing this, Jing Xiaotian immediately said emotionally: "You don't have to be so pessimistic.
I will give you your freedom now.
From now on, you are a free man.
You can go wherever you want to go and do what you like."
You don’t have to be bound by me anymore to marry a wife and have children.”
When Ma Qin heard this, he immediately knelt down and said with tears in his eyes: "Lord, are you trying to drive me away?
Ziyang territory is my home and the paradise I dream of.
Where can I go?
I have to meet Ziyang."
Being a wise master like the lord is a blessing that I have cultivated for many lifetimes.
Does the lord want me to cut my heart out and show it to you?"
"Okay, okay, do whatever you want.
Anyway, I have given you freedom.
But if you like to stay here, feel free to stay.
I will give you some money every year."
"My life belongs to the lord, what do I need the money for?"
Ma Qin protested loudly.
Isn't freedom the most precious?
Isn't money the most considerate?
Jing Xiaotian originally wanted to use these things to express his gratitude, but instead it frightened Ma Qin.
She really didn't understand the slave's mind.
So, he quickly shut his mouth and stopped making any sound.
After a slight sound of unlocking, Ma Qin pushed open a thick wooden door.
Inside, there were rows of tightly sealed wooden boxes.
Ma Qin held up a lantern and opened a box.
The white money was instantly displayed in the well.
In front of Oda's eyes.
The shaking made Jing Xiaotian feel dizzy.
He squeezed his eyes and took a closer look.

The money was still there.
Then he quietly dug his fingernails into the palm of his hand.
It hurt.
Jing Xiaotian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this was really not a dream.
After clearing his dry throat, Jing Xiaotian said: "Ma Qin, who knows about this money and this account?"
"Back to the lord, you are the only one who knows," Ma Qin said, about to exit the room.
"Oh, he is such a sensible person."
Jing Xiaotian was happy when he heard this and immediately praised.
"Thank you for the compliment, Lord."
"From now on, I don't know about this matter.
You quickly think of a way to transport the money to the Lin family's old house and hand it over to Azhong.
Then, gather more cloth, salt tea, etc."
Winter is coming in a blink of an eye, so we need to stock up on supplies for the winter to save so many people from starving and freezing."
Jing Xiaotian said.
"Yes, I will take care of it now."
Ma Qin immediately agreed
