General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 1144 The Chicken and the Egg (2)

After Fang Chen and Ji Xiaomu returned home, Fang Chen immediately called Bai Yichen over. After listening to Ji Xiaomu's words, Bai Yichen said directly to Ji Xiaomu, "You go with me tomorrow."

"Me?" Ji Xiaomu was stunned.

"Of course it's you. You have this idea, so you should be the one to talk about it!" Bai Yichen said as a matter of course, "You are the one who understands this matter best, so it's most appropriate for you to talk about it."

"Although I have heard Fang Chen talk about it, my idea is not mature yet. Unlike you, you already have a complete set of ideas and have even figured out how to implement them. So it is best for you to come and talk about it." Bai Yichen said.

Ji Xiaomu thought about it and realized that it was true, but if she was to leave the city...

"I will accompany you." How could Fang Chen let Ji Xiaomu go alone? As long as Ji Xiaomu was willing, he would accompany her wherever she went.

"Okay, I'll go with you." With Fang Chen by her side, Ji Xiaomu nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then take a look at these materials, they are all about the Fourth Prince!" Bai Yichen took out a pile of information and asked Ji Xiaomu to take a closer look.

Mother Ji looked at the information sent by Bai Yichen.

"The Fourth Prince's territory is rich in minerals, but it is difficult to grow food on his land, so food production is difficult." Ji Xiaowu looked at Bai Yichen, and Bai Yichen nodded. "That's right."

"Then let him use the ore as currency to trade with us. As for the time it takes to deliver the goods... let them owe us the grain first and then ship the goods over first!" suggested Ji Xiaomu.

"How...can we guarantee this?" Fang Chen and Bai Yichen asked in confusion.

"It's simple. Let the Fourth Prince come as our guest. He can leave when the food arrives." said Aunt Ji.

"It's impossible to agree to this, right?" Fang Chen and Bai Yichen looked at each other. How could an ordinary person agree to this condition?

"Then just talk him into agreeing." Ji Xiaomu curled the corners of her mouth.

When the Fourth Prince received the letter from Heyang City and learned that they agreed to sell grain, he was already preparing for a meeting between the two parties.

But when he saw Ji Xiaou and Fang Chen beside Bai Yichen, the Fourth Prince's expression changed.

Earlier, Bai Yichen was communicating with the Fourth Prince. The two of them were arguing back and forth, neither of them giving in.

Ji Xiaomu and Fang Chen were like spectators. They didn't interrupt and just watched the two of them quarreling quietly.

"I said, if you want to buy food from our Heyang City, you must use the ore from your territory as the trading currency!" Bai Yichen said coldly, looking at the Fourth Prince as if he were looking at a pig.

"I also said, it's impossible!" The fourth prince also glared. "And the exchange rate is wrong. How can I only exchange one tenth of my 100 kilograms of ore for food?"

"Is your stone pure ore? Has it been refined?" asked Ji Xiaomu.

"Of course not." The Fourth Prince was stunned, glanced at Fang Chen, and replied.

"You have ten kilograms of ore, and nine kilograms of sand. Do you have the nerve to ask me to exchange it for ten kilograms of grain?" Ji Xiaowu rolled her eyes and said, "I suddenly feel that one to ten is still too little, so I'll change it to one to twenty."

"It's all soil and mud, and refining it requires labor costs!" Ji Xiaou's words made the Fourth Prince anxious.

"You...you are asking for a higher price!" The Fourth Prince originally wanted to point at Ji Xiaomu, but Fang Chen glanced at her coldly and immediately pointed the finger that was pointing at Ji Xiaomu at Bai Yichen.
