GBP Chapter 315 Situ Yuan Exposed
Chapter 315 Situ Yuan Exposed
Having decided to eavesdrop on his little daughter's thoughts, Xie Xiu immediately went to find Xie Ying.
When he walked into the room, he already had a frown on his face.
Tu Jiaojiao was watching over her two children. Seeing Xie Xiu's worried face, she was immediately alarmed and asked hurriedly, "What trouble have you encountered?"
Xie Ying immediately opened her eyes wide with curiosity and looked at Xie Xiu with concern.
Xie Di next to him blinked in confusion, then opened his eyes wide and looked over: "Ahh!"
Although he is still young and doesn't understand many things, he can keenly sense the emotions of people around him.
Seeing that Tu Jiaojiao and Xie Xiu looked unhappy, he immediately became anxious and instinctively wanted to comfort them.
Xie Xiu saw this and felt relieved. He became more and more satisfied with his two children.
He walked over and sat on the Luohan bed, wanting to comfort Xie Di so that he wouldn't get anxious, but Xie Di immediately climbed on top of him and reached out to touch his face.
“Ahh… Big Boss…”
He couldn't clearly call out "Daddy" and could only call him "Big Dad".
When Xie Xiu smelled the milky fragrance on him and heard his babyish "dada", his heart melted instantly. He hugged Xie Di and kissed him on the face several times before stopping.
Xie Di giggled as he kissed her, and took the initiative to kiss Xie Xiu's face, calling him "big brother" while kissing him, leaving Xie Xiu's face covered with saliva.
Xie Ying sat next to him and looked at Xie Xiu's helpless expression, and suddenly found it a little funny.
[Hahaha, Daddy must be doubting his life right now!]
Xie Xiu was stunned when he heard this: "..."
Not only did he doubt his life now, he also wanted to teach this gloating little girl a lesson!
Xie Xiu helplessly took out his handkerchief and wiped off the saliva of his youngest son on his face. Then he asked Xie Di to sit on his lap, picked up the nine-ring puzzle game next to him, and demonstrated to Xie Di how to play it.
Xie Di was just a little kid after all, and when he saw Xie Xiu fiddling with the Nine Rings in front of him, he was immediately attracted and watched with great interest.
After Xie Xiu demonstrated for a while, Xie Di was so anxious that he stretched out his little paws, wanting to try it himself.
Xie Xiu deliberately moved farther away to guide Xie Di to snatch it.
Otherwise, if you give it to him directly, Xie Di will lose interest after playing with it for a while.
Sure enough, as soon as he took it away, Xie Di wanted it even more and kept reaching out to grab it.
Xie Xiu deliberately teased him for a while, making him try several times before he finally got it.
Xie Di obviously cherished the Nine-Rings that he had snatched with such great difficulty even more. Not only did he hold it tightly in his hand, he also protected it with his arms and climbed down from Xie Xiu's legs, fearing that Xie Xiu would snatch his Nine-Rings.
Seeing that he had actually hidden in the farthest corner, Xie Xiu burst into laughter.
He pretended to be helpless and sighed, then picked up Xie Ying and placed her on his lap.
Xie Ying wasn't as foolish as Xie Di. Seeing Xie Xiu deliberately teasing Xie Di, she couldn't help but complain in her heart: "Daddy is so treacherous! Oh, my poor Ou Doudou!"
Xie Xiu listened to her muttering and immediately frowned again.
His scheme is clearly above board and will be taken advantage of by those who are willing to take it. How can it be called treacherous?
But he said, "I just got the news that those people from the Xie family in the capital were captured by the Black Kirin Guards."
Tu Jiaojiao looked at him in confusion: "You were so worried just now, was it because of this? Could this matter implicate you?"
Xie Xiu shook his head, his expression turning grim again. "That's not the case. It's just that when those people were captured by the Black Kirin Guards, they thought I had reported them. They deliberately accused me of false accusations and called me heartless, mean, and ungrateful. Many people heard it."
Tu Jiaojiao's expression darkened upon hearing this. "These bastards! They did evil things, and now they're suffering the consequences. What does it have to do with you? Even if you did report them, how could it be considered a false accusation?"
"They have always been like this, otherwise why would they do those things?"
Xie Xiu twitched his lips sarcastically, then quickly got down to business. "I'm just worried about this coal mine we have."
Tu Jiaojiao was puzzled: "What's the problem with this coal mine we have?"
Xie Xiu sighed and said, "After all, I am still just a small scholar. Holding such a large coal mine, it is inevitable that others will covet it.
Although I have the Princess and Jiang Er, I can't rely on them all. Even if we're going into business together, I should show some strength and demonstrate my ability.
Otherwise, with the support of the Princess and the Imperial Concubine behind Jiang Er, how can I have a say in the company in the future? "
Tu Jiaojiao thought about it carefully and felt that what he said made sense.
But she thought hard and didn't know what to do.
"So what do you want to do? How do you prove your ability? You still have to take the imperial examinations. You can't focus your energy on business. I'm not cut out for business."
At the end of the conversation, she also became distressed.
Xie Ying opened her eyes wide, looked at Xie Xiu, then at Tu Jiaojiao, and couldn't help but mutter inwardly: "What's so tangled about this? Isn't it just digging up the coal and selling it?"
Now that the weather is getting colder, not only is there no need to worry about selling the coal we dig, we don’t even have to worry about no one mining it.
Whether it's farmers in the village or beggars in the city, you can let them go to dig coal. Build a canteen and dormitories, provide food and accommodation, and pay a hundred coins a day. There will definitely be many people willing to work.
The coal mined can be made into coking coal for making iron and steel, and can also be used to make bricks, cement, glass and porcelain. The fine coal slag can also be made into honeycomb coal and sold to the people for burning in stoves.
Tsk tsk tsk, if we could make steel, glass, and cement, we might be able to make a fortune. The steel we smelted could also be made into iron pans for cooking. Once iron pans became popular, all kinds of stir-fries would surely be invented.
By then I should be able to walk, and I'll be eating out every day, eating five different meals a day, hahahahahaha——]
Xie Ying became happier and happier as she spoke, and she even laughed at herself.
Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao, who were eavesdropping, said: “???”
The two looked at each other in surprise, their eyes full of shock and confusion.
Who can tell them what coking coal is, what glass is, and what cement and honeycomb briquettes are?
While the two were being surprised, Xie Ying muttered in her heart again: "No, I have to talk to Situ Yuan. After we dig the coal, we have to build a glass workshop and a cement workshop. Such a profitable business cannot be given to outsiders."
We could also open a few bathhouses and saunas in the city, since there's plenty of coal and heating water is easy. Oh, and we could also promote fire walls and floor heating.
There are so many royal relatives in the capital, they are all fat sheep, it would be a waste not to slaughter them! These people are not short of money, they are definitely willing to spend money to enjoy themselves.
As Xie Ying spoke, her eyes became brighter and brighter, as if she was about to see a glittering mountain of gold.
Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao narrowed their eyes. "How could Yingying actually communicate with Situ Yuan? When did this start? Could that guy also hear Yingying's thoughts?"
