Chapter 1019: Chapter 1021: The Enthronement of the Prince (6)

Nangong Yi fanned her while saying, "What if I go with you? The people over there are too barbaric, I can’t rest easy with you going alone."

Cai Wei gave him a glance and said, "Don’t forget, you are now the Prince, overseeing court politics, how can you just leave as you please!"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yi’s handsome face instantly showed some anger, "It’s all the old man’s fault, insisting on cultivating immortality. And now, as a husband, I have to part from my wife for several days."

Cai Wei said, "Stop complaining. You’re the Prince. Whatever task you assign, there are plenty of people rushing to do it for you. Unlike me, well, I have no capable people at hand and must do things myself."

Nangong Yi said, "What if I assign some capable people to you?"

"Great, I couldn’t ask for more!"

What Cai Wei lacked the most right now was capable personnel. If Nangong Yi was willing to share his resources, she would naturally accept gladly.

Nangong Yi asked, "How many people do you want?"

Without hesitation, Cai Wei said, "The more the better, no matter how many, it will never be enough!"

She planned to establish a commercial kingdom in Northern Ridge. Building this kingdom required extensive financial, material, and human resources. While she could handle the finances and materials, human resources were a challenge. As a woman, her external interactions were limited, she couldn’t network everywhere like men, and her family lacked significant power, making it difficult to find suitable assistants quickly. Without the right subordinates, her business ventures faced substantial hurdles.

Therefore, she was more than eager for Nangong Yi to offer her more people.

Rubbing his chin, Nangong Yi pondered and said, "It seems, Madam, you plan to excel in Northern Ridge!"

Cai Wei laughed and said, "Congratulations, you’re right!"

"Ah—"

Nangong Yi shook his head and sighed, "Madam, I truly can’t understand. We don’t lack money, and even if we did, you have your husband. Why must you strive so hard? Wouldn’t it be nice to just stay home and keep me company?"

Cai Wei was silent for a while before she said, "Nangong Yi, you should have known long ago that I am not the kind of woman content with staying in the Back House. Whether now or in the future, I won’t just quietly remain at home like a Golden Silk Bird. I have my own thoughts and aspirations. So, please don’t measure me by the standards set for other women. What I want you to understand and support is that what I do is not just about making money, but also about fulfilling my own value."

Seeing her speaking so solemnly and at length, Nangong Yi was taken aback and quickly said, "Madam, I was only joking with you, why so serious?"

Cai Wei said, "It’s better to say some things early to avoid any discord in the future."

Her tone carried a mix of persistence and seriousness which unexpectedly made Nangong Yi feel a pang of distress. He said, "Madam, there will never be any discord between us. I have always known your nature; if you weren’t like this, I might not have married you. So, I won’t demand anything from you. Just do what you like, and not only will I not constrain you, but I will do all I can to support you. Oh, right, you tell me how many people you need and what kind of people, and I’ll arrange them tomorrow. I promise they will arrive in Northern Ridge within a month to help you realize your grand ambitions..."

Seeing his sincere and somewhat fearful expression, Cai Wei was amused and stood up, saying, "Send whatever kind of talents there, as many as possible, and tell them, although Northern Ridge is remote and barren, once they are there, they will have enough food and clothing, and the welfare will certainly be good."
