Among the hundreds of thousands of disaster victims, many are suffering from illnesses. Even though there is food and drink available, the court has ordered the establishment of numerous temporary clinics and hired many doctors to attend to the needs of the victims. However, these measures can only address simple ailments like headaches and fevers. When faced with serious diseases, the medications provided by the clinics are completely insufficient. In such cases, substantial funds are required to purchase medicine in the capital.
With no money upon their arrival, the disaster victims have no choice but to sell themselves into servitude, either to the Langya Wangfu or to brothels. Among the four corpses I brought back, two were female disaster victims who had recently been purchased as servants by the Langya Wangfu. The other two bodies came from a brothel and were tortured to death by people from the Langya Wangfu.
Yan Dong's expression darkened as he sighed. Of the four girls, two had been turned into lampstands and had likely been dead for about a month. The other two women from the brothel had been beaten to death.
Let’s arrange for this matter to be settled! Once this is done, I will demand treasures from the Langya Prince! If he refuses, I have other means at my disposal.
Jiang Han sighed again and said, The treasures we obtain will be used to purchase a large quantity of medicine to distribute among the disaster victims. If we can auction off ten billion worth of treasures, setting aside two billion for various medicines will be more than sufficient. After all, large-scale procurement of medicines is done at cost price; what costs thirty coins at a pharmacy might only be a few coins wholesale. This batch of medicine will be enough for the victims.
Thank you, Shopkeeper Jiang! The disaster victims will surely regard you as their savior! Thank you, Shopkeeper Jiang! Throughout history, you are the first person to show such kindness to disaster victims.
Cen Ya and Ling Xue were so moved that they knelt before Jiang Han in gratitude. When Piao Xue Princess saw Jiang Han's actions, she couldn't help but nod in approval, thinking that he was an exceptionally good man. In the future, marrying Jiang Han as a concubine wouldn’t be a bad idea; being able to serve such a person would indeed be a blessing.
Yan Dong was not very eloquent but clasped his fists and said: Shopkeeper Jiang, I thank you on behalf of the disaster victims!
Everyone rise! I am someone destined for wealth and fortune; it is my responsibility to help those in need!
Jiang Han smiled lightly and gestured for them to stand up. As a super-rich man, even a couple of coins falling from his pocket would be enough for the disaster victims to eat well and live comfortably.
He decided to give them a couple of coins, allowing them to express their gratitude and even set up a longevity tablet in his honor, treating it as a way for him to buy a bit of happiness.
Jiang Han gazed at the four women and said, "Stop dawdling; get moving!"
This time, I want Langya Wangfu to take a hard fall!
Yan Dong, pay special attention to the situation when the Imperial Guard clashes with Langya Wangfu! Also, do not reveal that you are from the Imperial Guard. Leave behind those Eight-Sided Han Swords!
The next day, within Langya Wangfu.
The Langya Prince was particularly cheerful and asked if Jiang Han had come to demand treasures.
In response, the retainer reported, "Jiang Han did not come to curry favor; it seems he has given up!"
Our delaying tactic must have worked; Jiang Han has retreated upon realizing the difficulty!
The retainer expressed his satisfaction, stating that even if Jiang Han did come, he would have ways to deal with him!
Intrigued, the Langya Prince asked, "How would you handle Jiang Han?"
"That's simple. He just wants treasures. If he comes today, I can easily give him one!"
When he comes again tomorrow, I’ll feign illness and refuse to see him. Instead, I’ll send someone to deliver him a few dozen taels of silver!
This will show that I intend to give him treasures; a few dozen taels of silver should keep Jiang Han at bay!
The retainer animatedly elaborated further: "When he comes for the third time, I’ll tell him it will be the day after tomorrow!
It’s all about dragging things out. It’s not that I won’t give it to you; it’s just that my manor has procedures to follow. These are all precious treasures.
All these treasures are rare items in the world and must go through proper channels."
After finishing his explanation, a profound smile appeared on his face. It’s not about refusal; it’s simply a matter of delay. Hopefully, Jiang Han understands and won’t come back.
The Langya Prince nodded in agreement. He hadn’t heard any rumors lately, so it seemed Jiang Han hadn’t employed any tricks.
However, Jiang Han's relief efforts had greatly assisted Su Qianxue.
In this way, he had ended up losing instead; his hopes for acquiring currency minting rights had fallen through.
"Father!"
I have sent someone to contact the Ninth Princess.
Che Chengyun quickly approached the Langya Prince and bowed respectfully, indicating that an alliance with the Ninth Princess was imminent once again.
Since the last time he was castrated, he had changed a lot. This time, he even took the initiative to propose an alliance with the Ninth Princess. He showed no concern for the fact that he had been castrated, nor did he mind that the Ninth Princess was holding a banquet to celebrate it.
The Langya Prince saw that Che Chengyun was doing well and couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration. This child, capable of bending and stretching, had certainly worked hard! The position of Langya Prince might not be out of reach for him; as long as he could pass the throne to his brother before he died, it would be acceptable. As long as the next generation of Langya Princes remained his grandson, that would suffice.
As for being castrated? Well, that was done and over with. Losing a bit of flesh might even make him walk more gracefully and maturely than before; perhaps it wasn't such a bad thing after all. And what about continuing the bloodline? The prince had already fathered twenty children; losing one who couldn't reproduce was hardly a loss.
"Father, I have sent the preliminary plan to the Ninth Princess!"
"Your Majesty, since we are going to war, it must be a gamble!"
Such a large-scale war could not be too extensive. The Ninth Princess needed to vent her frustrations, while Xia Kingdom sought stability. Su Qianxue needed to increase her prestige through warfare.
Che Chengyun then opened a map and pointed to a specific location. "This is the battlefield I have chosen!"
It was a small town situated in a flat area, perfect for the Maple Forest Iron Cavalry! If they could provoke a battle in this town, they could create chaos within its intricate layout, leading Su Qianxue and the Ninth Princess's armies into conflict here.
Then, using the terrain to their advantage, they could ensure Su Qianxue's certain defeat despite her apparent strength. This way, they could further undermine Su Qianxue's authority and continue to control the civil and military officials in court.
Once Su Qianxue was defeated and unable to protect Jiang Han any longer, they would capture Jiang Han and extract information about the mysterious forces through interrogation.
A ruthless expression appeared on Che Chengyun's face. The Langya Prince nodded slightly in agreement. Just then, a figure named Jiang Jiang rushed in, shouting, "Something terrible has happened!"
