The Ten Treasures are equivalent to One Hundred Thousand Taels of Gold! That amounts to a million taels of silver. Each treasure is worth its weight in gold, some even priceless; every single one is the foundation of the Langya Wangfu. These treasures have been accumulated over generations by each Langya Prince. This is why the Wang dares to challenge the Emperor.
Even in the court, they are currently refusing to provide the Two Hundred Thousand Troops with any military funds or supplies. Just by pawning these Ten Treasures in the Xia Kingdom, they could secure enough provisions to sustain the army for three months! And this amount of money could even be used to train Twenty Thousand Heavy Cavalry!
Che Chengming felt a wave of despair wash over him at the thought of losing these treasures; he felt as if he could die from regret! One Hundred Thousand Taels of Gold—Ten Treasures! Oh, Wang, I’m so sorry! Tears welled up in his eyes; who wouldn’t cry after losing so much?
In the past, when Che Chengyun was around, they only lost two or three treasures at a time. Now, here he was, losing ten right off the bat! If he returned to the Wangfu now, it would be merciful if Wang didn’t hang him up and beat him!
Heir, Heir, don’t worry too much! We still have these treasures…
Wang Lao wanted to encourage Che Chengming to pull himself together, but even he stumbled over his words at the thought of the Ten Treasures. They were worth One Hundred Thousand Taels of Gold; even if he sold off his entire clan, it wouldn’t be enough to cover the loss.
Wang Lao, do you think we’re done for? The Ten Treasures are worth One Hundred Thousand Taels of Gold! Even if we worked for Wang our entire lives, we wouldn’t be able to repay this debt.
Che Chengming looked at Wang Lao with sorrowful eyes, as if grasping at a last straw, hoping that Wang Lao would come up with some sort of plan.
Wang Lao glanced at the disaster-stricken people eating instant noodles and couldn’t help but feel helpless. Who would have thought that the dried meat would turn into tender and delicious beef when soaked in hot water? It was almost like magic.
Around them, Jiang Jiang sighed as he witnessed the new Heir’s miserable losses.
At that moment, the previous Heir, although he lost as well, was not treated with such disdain. Moreover, to deal with someone like Jiang Han, one could only resort to gambling! After all, aside from backing these things, Jiang Han wouldn’t do anything else outside, leaving them with no opportunities to strike.
Jiang Han had continuously won several treasures from Langya Wangfu and two Weapons and Tokens, almost like a gambling god. Ten Treasures! Jiang Han, you are ruthless, Heir.
Che Chengming wanted to make a harsh remark, admitting defeat, but when the words reached his lips, he remembered he couldn’t afford to lose so much treasure! He looked helplessly at Jiang Han, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to hide in.
Jiang Han leisurely sipped his cola and walked over, noticing Che Chengming’s sorrowful expression. He knew this was a super big Kai Zi and couldn’t let it go just like that. Ten Treasures were something that Langya Wangfu could produce.
Heir, look at this disaster relief instant noodles of mine. How about it? Aren't these beef chunks tender and juicy? Don’t these noodles replenish the strength of every disaster victim who eats them? Aren't they salty enough?
Jiang Han deliberately picked up a bucket of instant noodles and said this, almost openly telling Che Chengming that his noodles were not cheap. At first, Che Chengming didn’t react but upon closer inspection of the contents of the noodles—meat, vegetables, and noodles—he realized that even if they were for himself, they would be more than enough.
However, Wang Lao caught on to a little flaw. He pulled Che Chengming aside and whispered, "Heir, there’s a problem! His Majesty only allocated one hundred thousand taels of silver. How much do these instant noodles cost per bucket? Think about it carefully; we just noticed the issue while betting on the quality of the noodles and forgot about this point!"
Initially, Che Chengming had discovered that the instant noodles had packaging—that bucket—and thought Jiang Han was wasting everything. He hoped the disaster victims would have a good meal but then starve afterward! He even sent Jiang Jiang back to the capital to promote such behavior.
Right! I remember now; these instant noodles are so good. How much can one hundred thousand taels buy? Compared to porridge, these instant noodles could probably last for over ten days!
Finally realizing it, Che Chengming pondered how these instant noodles had meat and vegetables—surely they must cost seven or eight coins per bucket at least!
And my porridge, thirty bowls of it, only costs seven or eight coins!
I truly can't believe that your meat and vegetable dishes can be cheaper than mine!
Heir, we have a plan now; if we can bet on this, we might just win back what we lost! Wang Lao immediately had an idea.
Ever since the loss, Wang Lao understood that as a Retainer assisting the Heir, this situation would definitely lead to severe consequences for him.
Thus, he was frantically trying to recover the losses, aiming to win back the Ten Treasures before the sun set today!
Otherwise, facing the Langya Prince’s wrath would mean disaster for his entire family.
How do we win it back? What kind of method can we use?
Wang Lao, whether I can keep my position as Heir depends on you. Che Chengming spoke urgently.
Wang Lao pondered for a moment, and after formulating a plan, he stood with his hands clasped behind his back.
He began to analyze confidently: Heir, with one hundred thousand taels of silver, we can only purchase one hundred thousand stones of grain!
The disaster victims are drinking porridge, so they can last for over a month!
However, we are playing with a much larger scale; in reality, we have three hundred thousand stones of grain but publicly claim it was bought with one hundred thousand taels!
Our grand estate is playing with a large scale while Jiang Han has provided food for Lin Qingyue!
But! He couldn't help but sneer; every time Jiang Han needed various treasures, it was evident that what Jiang Han had was also purchased!
Every time Lin Qingyue approached Jiang Han, she had to offer something before he would provide military supplies.
The same goes for Su Qianxue; this is almost an open secret—everyone knows it.
Thus, Wang Lao directly concluded that the mysterious force behind Jiang Han was in great need of treasures.
And with one hundred thousand taels to buy instant noodles, they wouldn't be able to purchase much. Even if there were injuries involved, it wouldn’t compare to what we have.
Heir, with the grain we have on hand, it's enough for the disaster victims to eat for at least three months!
But for Jiang Han's side, I estimate only half a month!
You can bet against Jiang Han; let’s see who can procure more supplies. To avoid any delays or complications, let’s place our bets on-site and inspect the warehouses directly! Wang Lao said.
