Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 986 Developing Business and Making Big Money

"You're so wicked... knowing full well that I, the princess..."

"Still calling yourself 'Princess'?" Chu Chen looked at Huangfu Caiyun in front of him and said sternly.

"This servant knows her mistake, Master. How about I bark like a dog for you later..."

"Hahaha! I'm tired from walking!"

As the palace gates closed, the maids outside witnessed another miraculous scene.

The two koi, which had been silent for a long time, were entwined together again, and this time, the splashes they made as they slapped the surface of the water seemed even more intense.

Several maids turned around simultaneously and then voluntarily shut down their six senses.

He remained unmoved by the sonic attacks emanating from his bedchamber.

Half an hour later, Chu Chen arrived at the front yard feeling refreshed. He then lay down on a rocking chair, enjoying the services of the maids, a triumphant smile appearing on his lips.

The first step of the plan: capture Princess Nine. Mission accomplished!

Three days later, Huangfu Caiyun looked at Chu Chen with a satisfied expression: "Sixth Brother, nowadays, we are actually isolated by the entire palace."

"We have no source of gold or silver, so we have the fewest maids and eunuchs here because we can't afford to support them."

Chu Chen nodded slightly after hearing this, thinking to himself that this person was asking him for money.

However, as one can imagine, it would be strange if someone who chases after a general with a knife didn't become isolated.

So he said, "Why don't you take stock of everything under your name, and I'll take you to make some money!"

Huangfu Caiyun's eyes lit up when she heard this. What woman doesn't like money? Even a princess is no exception.

With money, you can have everything.

At that time, her palace will be filled with maids and eunuchs to serve her sixth brother well.

"Haha, that's good. I knew it. Meeting Sixth Brother is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to Caiyun in this life."

Chu Chen smiled without saying a word, thinking to himself that it was just mutual exploitation, and there was no need to delve deeper.

After Huangfu Caiyun finished speaking, she turned around and instructed her maid. A short while later, an old eunuch who looked to be about forty or fifty years old came in, carrying a thick account book.

"This servant greets the Ninth Princess and the Prince Consort!"

The old eunuch, holding the account book, bowed to Chu Chen and Huangfu Caiyun.

Immediately afterwards, at Huangfu Caiyun's instruction, she began to recount all the property in the entire mansion to Chu Chen.

Chu Chen was secretly shocked after hearing this. Such a small princess's mansion had so many properties under its name that it was dazzling.

Although there isn't much extra cash on paper, the amount of real estate is staggering.

The land covers tens of thousands of acres, all cultivated by the tenant farmers under its jurisdiction. There are dozens of shops in the capital city, and shops in other cities as well.

However, since Huangfu Caiyun did not manage the property and only knew how to enjoy the fragrance of flowers, kill people, and drink alcohol, most of the property was managed by this old eunuch and rented out.

They didn't run any businesses themselves, so all the expenses of the household depended on that small amount of rent.

As for food, it's just the rent from those ten thousand mu of land.

After listening, Chu Chen glanced at the old eunuch standing beside him and thought to himself that Huangfu Caiyun was fortunate to have such a good eunuch; otherwise, it would only be a matter of time before all these businesses were devoured.

In conclusion, Huangfu Caiyun was a complete idiot in the palace, utterly unaware of how much wealth she possessed.

As long as I can eat my fill and have fun, I don't care about anything else.

"Father-in-law, you've worked so hard. Such a big family, all of it rests on your shoulders. It must have been tough for you."

Chu Chen spoke to the old eunuch, and Huangfu Caiyun followed up with her reply.

"Although Eunuch Zhou has some physical disabilities, he is very meticulous. Over the years, he has managed these things very well, which has saved me a lot of trouble."

Grandpa Zhou: ...Sigh! Who told me to be missing something?

Chu Chen's face darkened immediately after hearing this, thinking to himself, "You really don't know how to talk!"

So he immediately tried to smooth things over: "Caiyun, you can't say that. Who said Old Zhou is disabled? Old Zhou is a remarkable person, someone we should all respect!"

After saying that, Chu Chen pulled over a chair for himself: "Come, come, please sit down, Old Zhou!"

That one word, "Old Zhou," made Grandpa Zhou feel the warmth of home.

I thought to myself that after working diligently here for so many years, I've finally met a discerning master.

Moreover, it seems that Huangfu Caiyun's attitude has changed drastically in just a few days, and her status has directly fallen below Chu Chen's.

So he quickly got up and said to Chu Chen, "This old servant thanks Your Highness for your appreciation!"

"Old Zhou, you're too kind. We're all family, no need to thank me!"

After saying that, Chu Chen took the account book from Eunuch Zhou and sat down at the table to think.

Seeing that Chu Chen was deep in thought, neither Huangfu Caiyun nor Eunuch Zhou made a sound to disturb him.

About half an hour later, Chu Chen had a direction for making money.

In this ancient era, with relatively scarce resources and technology, making money was incredibly easy.

Even everyday consumer goods can enable them to absorb large amounts of funds in a short period of time.

Chu Chen wanted to be fast, to accumulate funds quickly to the point that the imperial power would be wary, and then see how the rule-makers suppressed someone like him who had suddenly emerged.

This makes it easy to go from frugality to extravagance. The reason for getting close to the Ninth Princess is to allow himself to develop in a more discreet and unassuming way.

We grow up without even realizing it, and that's how we can better appreciate these things.

"Alright, Lao Zhou, you're a talented person, so I hope you'll remember everything I'm about to say."

"This time, we will make good use of everything we have in our manor to build a business empire. Of course, once we succeed, the reward you will receive will be unprecedented, enough to allow you to build a superior family."

Upon hearing Chu Chen's words, Eunuch Zhou's eyes lit up. To be honest, although he managed so many businesses for the Ninth Princess, he didn't actually have much in his own pocket.

There was no other way; the entire household was not wealthy.

Moreover, he didn't believe that the prince consort in front of him was bragging. In this world, he was probably the only one who could win over the Ninth Princess in such a short time and even pass the Emperor's test.

So he quickly said, "Please enlighten me, Your Highness!"

"Alright, this important task is entrusted to you."

Immediately afterwards, Chu Chen began to plan the properties, farmland, and land under his name.

Moreover, the models and products they described were novel and perplexing to them; some of them were completely unheard of.

However, they can still understand concepts such as scarcity marketing and membership development.

After the explanation, both Huangfu Caiyun and Eunuch Zhou gave Chu Chen a thumbs up in their hearts.
