by Salted Fish — "What? Wu Ying Hou donated money and books to the Naval Academy?" Governor of Min Province, Lei Ming, abruptly stood up. "What does Fang Qinlian want to do?" He was both surprised and angry, pacing back and forth. "Guang Province has its own Maritime Trade Office; other provinces have eunuchs appointed by the court, but on his side, they still handle the salt and iron special projects, all under Pingnan Prefecture's jurisdiction, fattening their coffers.

Chapter 80 – Borrowed Strength
by Salted Fish — In the gentle sea breeze and thin sunlight, Xu Chun lay on the soft couch in his cabin room, swaying gently with the ship. His dreams were vivid, like a butterfly, as if he had flown back to Central Plains, fluttering towards Xie Yi's sleeping lips like a butterfly. Xie Yi opened his eyes, his gaze as cold as glass beads, staring at him. He reached out his fingers to lightly touch him, and Xu Chun willingly threw himself into his embrace, lingering tenderly, entwining like a soft wind. When Xu Chun…

by Salted Fish — It was already deep into autumn, the sky high and the wind cool.

He still made his way to the inner chambers first to see his grandfather, Sheng Jingyuan. Sheng Jingyuan was discussing business matters with Sheng Tongyu when he saw him and asked, "How did things go?" Sheng Changzhou shook his head. "They're all stubborn, refusing both soft and hard…

by Salted Fish — The head of the Lu clan sat within the flower hall, his face filled with anger, eyes closed in silence.

Fang Zijing smiled, "Clan head, please sit down. The mission was successful, it's good news. Upon hearing that the clan head came personally to negotiate, they were quite surprised.

Chapter 76 – Heart-to-Heart Talk
by Salted Fish — Xu Chun wore an expression of astonishment; when Fang Zijing saw that Xu Chun was no longer the eloquent young man he had been moments ago, but rather a boy at a loss, he couldn't help but chuckle, nodding his head. "I didn't intend to reveal it, but given Fang Zixing's sake, you should trust me more now, shouldn't you?" Xu Chun murmured, "You're supposed to have lingering injuries and often be ill." Fang Zijing sighed deeply. "A non-dynastic vassal king, a minister from the previous dynasty: each…

by Salted Fish — Ji Sinong said, "Esteemed brothers, both of you are dragons and phoenixes among men, you should aspire to lofty ambitions. The path of merchants, though leisurely, ultimately underutilizes your talents." Xu Chun replied with a smile, "Though the heavens are vast and myriad things abound, I only know the wings of my cicada." Ji Sinong never expected such a young man to have read Laozi and Zhuangzi, and to casually quote them during their conversation. He was taken aback once again. Now, looking at this…
