But now, his father and the Nangong Army were no longer around.
How could Chu and Jin not covet such a fat piece of meat like the Great Yan?
He just didn’t expect this day to come so quickly.
Hearing Li Xiao say that he was already prepared, Lin Xiaoyue felt a little more at ease.
“How much food have you prepared? Also, where did the money come from?” Suddenly, Lin Xiaoyue asked Li Xiao.
That was not right. She had seen the accounts, but she did not find that there was anything missing.
However, ever since the Nangong Army returned, Li Xiao had indeed not given her any more money.
So, could it be that Li Xiao bought the grain with his own money?
However, he had only set up a transport team. How much could he earn?
Li Xiao smiled and wrapped his arms around his wife’s waist.
“Don’t worry, it’s enough for everyone in the manor to last for a year.”
“In addition, we can also grow potatoes and sweet potatoes in the manor. We won’t starve.”
Lin Xiaoyue was a little shocked.
“So much food? You bought it?” He asked.
It was enough to feed more than 5,000 people for a year. The amount of food needed was not small.
“Yes.” Li Xiao replied.
“Where did you get so much money?” Lin Xiaoyue asked. Her gaze was a little fierce.
He dared to hide his money?
When Li Xiao saw his wife’s expression, he instantly realized that something was wrong.
He hugged his wife tighter and wrapped his wife’s hands tightly.
“Hehe, a few men and 1 invested in a bodyguard agency. Also, I got a boat and took some business from the nearby docks.” Li Xiao said.
Lin Xiaoyue was shocked.
“You did a good job keeping it a secret!” Then, she looked at Li Xiao in annoyance.
Knowing that she could not break free from Li Xiao’s imprisonment, she did not want to waste her time.
Li Xiao smiled embarra.s.sedly.
“I was thinking of telling you after I achieved some results. But…”
“Your business is still doing well. You earn a lot of money every day while I…” Li Xiao said as he scratched his head in embarra.s.sment. At the same time, he released Lin Xiaoyue.
He could tell that his wife was not really angry with him.
However, it was indeed his fault for not telling his wife about these things.
Sigh, it wasn’t easy for him either.
His wife’s business was doing so well that he sometimes felt like he was living off a woman.
It was also for this reason that he wanted to prove himself with some results. At the same time, he wanted to lighten his wife’s burden.
He did not expect that the business he made was still incomparable to his wife’s business.
Lin Xiaoyue looked at Li Xiao.
Finally, he was no longer angry.
“My business? We’re husband and wife, so what’s mine is yours! Whatever you want to do, you can discuss it with me.”
“Maybe 1 can give you some ideas.”
“In the future, don’t hide it from me.”
Although she knew that her husband didn’t have any bad intentions, it still didn’t feel good to be kept in the dark by her other half.
“Yes, madam! I promise there won’t be a next time!” Li Xiao hurriedly said.
With that, he lowered his head and planted a kiss on Lin Xiaoyue’s forehead.
Lin Xiaoyue clenched her fists and punched him.
After a while, the two of them continued to talk about the war.
“Any news from the Imperial Court? Resistance or peace?” Lin Xiaoyue asked Li Xiao.
If Emperor Yan didn’t make peace, the Chu and Jin allied forces would march straight into the heart of Great Yan after some time.
At that time, not only would the people at the border suffer from the flames of war, but even those in Qings.h.i.town might also be in danger.
Moreover, if the war continued, her business would be greatly affected.
“They’ve already made peace. Emperor Yan has already sent an envoy to the border.” Li Xiao said. There was even a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Was His Highness aware that the Yan Country is not Chu and Jin’s match?
When his father and the Nangong Army were around, when had the Yan Country suffered such a loss?
If he took the initiative to ask for peace, Chu and Jin would definitely demand an exorbitant price. How much land and food would the Yan Country lose this time?
Lin Xiaoyue heaved a sigh of relief.
“It’s good that we call a truce. The flames of war are merciless. What have the people done?”
Li Xiao glanced at his wife and nodded.
He and his wife looked at the problem from different perspectives, but he agreed with his wife’s point of view.
“Since the Great Yan is going to offer food, the food on the market will definitely decrease. Should we take advantage of this time to stock up on more food?” Lin Xiaoyue asked Li Xiao..
