Soong Yiqing lowered his head. Of course he knew the crisis Soong Family was in, but he couldn't think of any good methods at this moment.

Bai Zheng's slender finger gently tapped the side of the teacup, her voice sweet and light, ”Now, a method to calm the Great Zhou and not provoke it, is right in front of Young Master Soong.”

Soong Yiqing raised his head, ”What do you mean?”

”Two hundred thousand!” Bai Zheng answered, ”Of course the more the better.”

Soong Yiqing lowered his eyes and muttered to himself.

Obviously, the price of two hundred thousand gold had exceeded his original budget, which Bai Zheng could understand. After all, in this era, compulsory education was not universal, and the paper only benefited a portion of the literate people.

Moreover, most of the rich could read, so with this paper making technique in his hands, it would not be a big loss for him to control his Soong Family.

Soong Yiqing sighed, raised his head and said: ”I understand, thank you Miss Bai.”

”There's no need to thank me. I didn't do it for nothing. There's nothing to thank me for.” Bai Zheng's eyes flashed.

Soong Yiqing was startled: ”What do you mean?”

”Now that I've solved the Soong Family problem, and made the fortune for Soong Family so far, three thousand silver is not that much, right?” Bai Zheng's face bloomed into a big smile.

”You!”

That three thousand taels really did find me!

Soong Yiqing felt his chest tighten. Unexpectedly, he who was happily watching the show a few days ago had become the target of extortion in the blink of an eye.

”Young Master Soong thinks it's expensive? If I were to sell this information to the Lin Family, I'm afraid that even if the Lin Family Head gave me five thousand silver, he would not bat an eye. ”

Although the Lin Family's business could not compare to Soong Family, it was still gradually improving. To any competitor, owning a patent was essential.

Moreover, it was not only his Soong Family that was being targeted by Feng Linche. Most likely, all the big families and merchants would not be able to avoid the fate of donating their Great Zhou to the imperial government for offending their business.

”Alright.” Soong Yiqing closed his eyes. Did he still have a choice? This girl didn't give him any leeway.

”Three thousand silver will be sent to the Miss Bai's residence. As for today's treasure, Soong Family will definitely make it, its, its, its, and its value. ” Soong Yiqing gritted his teeth as he said the last four words.

Bai Zheng stood up and patted her hands, ”It's a deal.”

But Soong Yiqing didn't want to give Bai Zheng another glance, he only nodded his head and pushed open the door to the private room, then walked out.

After seeing Soong Yiqing leave, Bai Zheng returned to her seat and took a sip of tea from the teacup. Only then did she laugh: ”The tea of the Fifth Prince is truly good tea.”

Right after he finished speaking, Feng Jingyi walked in with a puzzled expression: ”Didn't you say you were talking to Soong Family? It's a good thing for the Soong Family. How come I just saw that Young Master Soong coming out with a face full of unhappiness? ”

”Perhaps Young Master Soong has not reached the level of his father and brother? He was only focused on the next moment of failure and felt depressed. ” Bai Zheng replied indifferently.

Feng Jingyi was speechless, although Soong Yiqing looked like a silkpants disciple, he was actually extremely shrewd. If he knew that he had been called shortsighted by a girl, who knows what kind of anger he would have.

Bai Zheng looked at the fully filled seats on the first floor, and thought that the auction was about to begin, so she stood up and bowed: ”It has been a while since Bai Zheng left, if not father would worry. Thank you for your introduction today, Bai Zheng will be taking her leave. ”

Feng Jingyi hurriedly said: ”I have already told Assistant Minister Bai that Miss Bai is here to eat tea, there is no need to rush back, the auction will start soon.”

”Sorry for the wait.” Before Feng Jingyi could finish speaking, before the people from the bottom floor could even finish speaking, a voice filled with energy sounded out from the crowd and opened the stage with a smile.
