Meanwhile.
After leaving Jiang Jingcheng's study, Jiang Xiaobai looked thoughtful.
Outside the study, Zhang Xinnian and Tang Ningshuang were still waiting. When they saw Jiang Xiaobai come out, they approached him.
"Heir Apparent!"
Zhang Xinnian looked at Jiang Xiaobai with a hint of curiosity. "Was everything all right with the Marquis?"
Indeed, judging by Jiang Xiaobai's expression, something was clearly on his mind.
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head without explaining and led the way toward his quarters.
Yes, what occupied his mind now was how to make money.
The 800,000-Strong Army was the very root of the Jiang Family!
The army was desperately short of funds now, and that was no small matter.
Especially at this critical juncture, when he was about to marry into the Chancellor's Residence. If things went wrong, people with ulterior motives could easily... make an issue of it.
Exactly. The Northern Guardian Marquis's Estate had no money, the Northern Frontier Military Pay was insufficient, and he was marrying into the Chancellor's Residence.
If someone strung those things together, the whole story could take on a different flavor in an instant.
So this had to be resolved as soon as possible!
Jiang Xiaobai thought as he walked.
A moment later, he suddenly stopped and looked at Zhang Xinnian and Tang Ningshuang. "Let me ask you two something."
"Go ahead, Heir Apparent!"
Zhang Xinnian nodded.
"When you two go out shopping..."
Jiang Xiaobai asked, "What catches your eye and makes you want to buy it?"
"Heir Apparent, food, of course!"
Zhang Xinnian answered almost without hesitation.
"What was that?"
Jiang Xiaobai froze, failing to catch his meaning for a moment.
"Oh, street snacks and things like that!"
Zhang Xinnian said earnestly, "Roast meat, flatbread, and those meat buns fresh out of the steamer, for instance."
