Chapter 88 Uncle and Nephew

"Uncle Huang, don't choke, drink some wine."

In the palace of the King of Yan, in the pavilion beside the lotus pond in the east courtyard, Zhao Xu and King Chun sat opposite each other.

At this time, King Chun was eating voraciously at the table.

"It's really fragrant." King Chun held the roast chicken in his hand, his mouth full of greasy.

In the past few days in the deserted village, he has not eaten well and cannot sleep well, and has suffered a lot.

As soon as he arrived in Yancheng, he asked Zhao Xu to prepare a sumptuous meal for him.

Although the chicken, fish, meat and eggs on this table are not as exquisite as those in the capital, nor are they as delicious as those in the capital, he now feels delicious.

"Yeah, drink, drink, ah..." King Chun picked up the wine glass and drank it all, then sighed with satisfaction.

"Nephew, I have to say that the wine you brew is so good. It's so crazy that you sell in the capital. I have also stored a thousand jars of your emperor uncle. Now I am entertaining guests. If you don't take out this wine, you are really shameless." King Chun gnawed the roast chicken and looked around, "If you want to say, you sell ice and wine, you have made a lot of money. The royal palace has also been repaired and cannot lose its royal demeanor."

Zhao Xu smiled, "Although I have made a lot of money, my nephew's expenses are also huge. Yan County is poor and white. In order to win people's hearts, the royal palace collects small taxes. It can be said that the expenses of Yan County belong to the royal palace."

King Chun nodded, "It's not easy for a nephew, but if it weren't for this kind of demeanor, it would be difficult for the emperor to gain a foothold in Yan County. The emperor also agrees with this."

The actions of King Yan in Yan County have now been spread to the capital.

Many people think that the method of Yan Wang selling land from the rich family for money is stupid.

But in his opinion, this was exactly this stupidity that saved the King of Yan.

"Oh? Is that right?" Zhao Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

However, it is reasonable for Zhao Heng to agree that he did this. After all, that emperor hopes that the world will be the king's land.

Those who are unhappy are probably the powerful people in the court.

Because this method will undoubtedly weaken their strength.

"Well, this is what the emperor said in person, but it's just a little bit of money." King Chun smiled, "But with his nephew's intelligence, it seems that this matter has been solved. On the way I came, I heard many merchants talking about the Yanjun Commercial Bank, otherwise I would not have had an idea and asked someone to send a letter to the Commercial Bank."

"My nephew is just a little clever. Although business goods are important, their connections are equally important. Otherwise, the business will not be able to continue. So I hope that after the emperor returns to the capital, he can take more care of his nephew's business."

"Okay, okay, you saved my life. You can still help with this little thing. Who dares to cause trouble for you in the capital? Just let your people come to me." King Chun patted his chest.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xu raised his glass and said, "Thank you, uncle."

The two drank a few more cups of each other, and King Chun was finally full.

At this time, he remembered the important matters of this trip, "Qiu Sheng said you have also seen the imperial edict. There are only two things about this trip. First, you have made contributions to killing the people of Beidi. The emperor allowed you to expand the royal palace's personal army to 30,000."

"The second thing is the military supplies order. This year the court removed the blood-enhancing pill from the military supplies and replaced it with your secret medicine, a total of 800,000 taels of silver. You will deliver goods to Yanguan now. Once the goods arrive, the imperial court's silver will arrive soon."

"Eighty hundred thousand taels." Zhao Xu shouted inwardly, feeling excited.

This is a military order. As long as his medicine is recognized, the business will be stable.

In the future, as long as the court needs it, he will be given silver.

The cost of allicin is very low, and it is simply a huge profit.

Most importantly, this opened a door to military trade for him.

He can sell medicine this time, and maybe he can sell other things in the future.

"Of course there is no problem. My nephew has already prepared a batch and I will send it to Yanguan today." Zhao Xu said.

King Chun nodded, "It just so happens that I'll go with this batch of goods."

"Why is the emperor's uncle leaving so urgently? Could it be that his nephew was not in good health?" Zhao Xu looked puzzled when he heard that King Chun was about to leave as soon as he arrived.

King Chun had a bitter face, "This time the emperor insisted on me to go there, which was not what I wish. Now I just want to get things done and hurry back to the capital to enjoy myself."

Zhao Xu was immediately amazed and laughed. It turned out that the rumors about this emperor's uncle were true.

He said, "Since that's the case, my nephew will not try to keep the emperor's uncle."

King Chun nodded, "Remember to send more people to protect me to Yanguan. This Yanzhou is too dangerous."

Zhao Xu was ridiculous and asked a servant to go to Beidaying, and asked Lu Chang to bring a thousand men to escort King Chun.

After hearing this, King Chun nodded with satisfaction, "That Lu Chang is good, he is a powerful general."

Then he paused, and said, "But this time the Zhang family's connection with Beidi really doesn't need to be told to the emperor?"

"No need, Song Ya is dead, he has no limits, and his nephew doesn't want to alert the snake." Zhao Xu said.

On the way back, he had already thought of a countermeasure.

The Zhang family wanted to collude with the Beidi people to get rid of him, so he would use this opportunity to make the Beidi people lose their troops and generals, and then solve the Zhang family.

"Well, so, my nephew will take care of him." King Chun bowed.

In the afternoon.

The secret medicine sent to Yanguan was cured, and Zhao Xu sent King Chun to the north gate.

Watching King Chun leave.

"This time, Song Ya tied up King Chun, but gave His Highness a favor." The officials of Yan County and Zhao Xu came out to give it to others.

After seeing King Chun disappear, Xu Lie smiled.

Zhao Xu shook his head, "You are thinking too much. King Chun's attitude is just the attitude of the emperor. If there is a dispute over interests, he will not care about this time I will save his life."

"The most ruthless imperial family is, that's how it is." Liu Fu sighed slightly.

He is well-versed in history and naturally knows the bloody events of the royal family in history.

Chang Wei had a cold face from beginning to end. When the other officials dispersed, he said, "Your Highness, let the general lead the people to conquer the Zhang family. Such a person who is so heartless and forgets his ancestors. What is the use of keeping them with those who are dental to the enemy?"

He hates traitors who are most familiar with foreign enemies.
