Become a feudal king from today

"Yuan Li. Reading"

Zhao Xu glanced at the words on the name card, and it was indeed Yuan Li, the governor of Yanzhou.

A few days ago, Zhang Kang said that Yuan Li would come, and now he has indeed come.

"Zhang Kang is here too," Feng'er added.

"He is really willing to help his son-in-law." Zhao Xu hummed.

He didn't need to think about it to know what Yuan Li was doing this time.

He just wanted to demonstrate to him and tell him that Zhang Kang was his son-in-law, so that the palace would be afraid.

But since Yuan Li is here, he can only go and see him.

After all, this person is the real powerful figure in Yanzhou. Even though he is the prince, he cannot rely on him.

Thinking of this, he walked out.

On the way, he met Liu Fu who was looking for him in the backyard.

The two of them arrived at the door together.

I saw a team of cavalry standing at the door at this time.

These cavalrymen have strong bodies, all with black helmets and black armor. Only the feathers on the helmets are blue.

The scabbard on the waist is very exquisite, and it is not ordinary at first glance.

"The Yuan family in Yanzhou is indeed not comparable to the small wealthy families in Yanjun." Zhao Xu thought to himself.

The strength of the Yuan family can be seen just from the equipment of this group of cavalry.

His eyes moved to the front, a fat man with a round belly and a round waist.

The fat man was wearing a purple official robe, his face was full of flesh, and he looked a bit fierce.

But when he saw Zhao Xu, the fat man got off the horse with the help of his attendants and laughed loudly.

"Your Highness King Yan, I recently heard from my son-in-law that your Highness has recovered, so I came all the way from Fan Yang to congratulate His Highness."

"Thank you Yuan Zhoumu. A few days ago, Governor Zhang said that Zhoumu was coming. I have been looking forward to it for a long time. Please come in." Zhao Xu went up to welcome him.

They bowed to each other, and both of them had smiles on their faces.

Yuan Li saw Zhao Xu treating people like a normal person, smiling on his face, but unhappy in his heart.

Originally, he had never looked down upon this silly prince.

So when Zhang Kang said that King Yan had eliminated the Huang and Du families and took control of Yan County, he was shocked.

To him, Yanzhou is the territory of the Yuan family.

Now that King Yan is occupying Yanzhou, he is really unhappy.

Therefore, it is imperative to protect Zhang Kang's Zhang family.

In this way, Yan County will not completely fall into the hands of King Yan.

After entering the palace, Zhao Xu led Yuan Li to the living room.

The guests of honor sat down and he asked for tea.

Zhao Xu said: "Yuanzhou Mu is very busy with government affairs, so I am very grateful that he can spare time to come to Yan County. I am in Yan County, and I hope that Zhou Mu will take care of him in the future."

Yuan Li came in all the way and saw that Prince Yan's palace was a bit shabby. In addition, Zhao Xu had little status in the imperial city and had no support from his mother's family, so he despised him even more, but he didn't show it on his face.

And when he came this time, he was determined to support Zhang Kang, so he said, "It's easy to say, easy to say, and it's true for the Yuan family in Yanzhou. If your highness has any difficulty, just come to your subordinates. The Yuan family's Xuanjia army can Not vegetarian.”

Zhao Xu laughed softly, there was something in Yuan Li's words.

Tell him clearly how powerful the Yuan family is in Yanzhou.

"Haha, Yuan Zhoumu is really happy." Zhao Xu pretended to be grateful.

Yuan Li shook his hand, then glanced at Zhang Kang, and said seemingly unintentionally: "Zhang Kang, as the son-in-law of the Yuan family, you must do your best when working under King Yan, and don't disgrace the reputation of my Yuan family. Make your highness laugh."

"My father-in-law is here, my son-in-law obeys your orders." Zhang Kang looked respectful.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuan Li was reminding King Yan that the Zhang family would be temporarily safe in Yan County.

There was no need to worry about his plans.

Thinking of this, he saluted Zhao Xu again, "Your Highness, if I do something wrong in the future, I hope that Your Highness will forgive you."

"You're welcome, Commander Zhang. I am extremely honored to have such a capable minister as Commander Zhang to assist me."

After saying that, the three of them laughed.

They chatted some more and talked about old things in the imperial city.

It's getting late.

Zhao Xu ordered the servants of the palace to hold a banquet, leaving Yuan Li to lead the banquet.

After three rounds of drinking.

Yuan Li looked at the wine in the glass and was amazed.

In Fan Yang, he had already drank wine from Yan County, and suddenly felt that there was no other good wine in the world.

This time he came to Yan County, not only for Zhang Kang's affairs, but also for the wine.

"Your Highness, I have a gracious invitation." After drinking, Yuan Li spoke.

"Yuan Zhoumu, please speak." Zhao Xu put down his wine glass.

"The wine brewed by Your Highness is really a rare fairy wine in the world. Now if I don't drink it for a day, I will feel that my three meals are tasteless. I also want to buy a batch from the palace, and I would like to ask Your Highness to agree." Yuan Lidao.

"This is a simple matter. I wonder how much the state pastor needs?" Zhao Xu refused to accept anyone who came.

He is now equivalent to a manufacturer and is not afraid of large orders.

"Thirty thousand altars." Yuan Li raised three fingers.

The Yuan family has a great business and maintains an army.

Yanzhou is located in the north and is not as wealthy as the south.

Most of the ways to make money depend on commerce.

The businessmen are shrewd, how could the Yuan family be so stupid as to neglect profitable business?

If Zhao Xu wasn't worried about the court and he was the prince, he would even steal the wine-making method.

Now, he could only settle for the next best thing and let King Yan supply a large amount of supplies to his Yuan family.

"Okay." Zhao Xu agreed.

Wangfu Winery will expand production immediately, and this order came in time.

After deciding the matter and talking and laughing, Yuan Li and Zhang Kang got up and went back.

Zhao Xu walked to the door before returning.

In the night.

Yuan Li's bodyguard lit a torch and looked at Zhang Kang. Yuan Li's smile gradually disappeared.

"This time I come forward in person, King Yan will definitely not dare to touch your Zhang family. From now on, you will keep an eye on the palace for me in Yan County. If there is any trouble, send someone to tell me the news immediately."

Zhang Kang didn't dare to breathe, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Yes, father-in-law."

Nodding, Yuan Li said: "Also, be careful about the trade with Beidi, and don't let the King of Yan find out, especially the sale of weapons and armor. If he reports it to the court, it will be very troublesome."

Originally, he looked down on Zhang Kang, the illegitimate son of the Zhang family.

Even if it was a illegitimate girl of the Yuan family, he, Zhang Kang, was not worthy.

But when Zhang Kang led a Beidi merchant caravan to Fanyang that year, he changed his mind.

According to Zhang Kang, because he saved the life of this Beidi merchant, the Beidi merchant only trusted him.

So, he wanted to use Zhang Kang and promised this marriage.

Over the years, Zhang Kang did make a lot of money for the Yuan family and bought a lot of war horses and cattle and sheep from Beidi.

However, the court strictly prohibited trade with Beidi, so this matter was extremely confidential.

"My son-in-law dare not be careless." Zhang Kang replied.

As if to reassure Zhang Kang, he said: "You don't have to be afraid of this King of Yan. First use courtesy and then force. If he doesn't know how to rise, I will embarrass him." As he spoke, the figures of the group disappeared into the darkness.

Palace.

After the banquet, Liu Fu did not go back.

Yuan Li's arrival made his plan to deal with the Zhang family in the past few days fail.

"If I don't get rid of the Zhang family, it will be like a thorn in my throat." Liu Fu gritted his teeth.

Zhao Xu remained silent. He was not as excited as Liu Fu.

For him, he had already mastered the military and political power of Yan County, which was stable.

The Zhang family was just meat on the chopping board, and it would be cut sooner or later.

Next, he only needed to accumulate wealth, climb technology, and build his army into an invincible strong army.

The gun is the source of power. As long as the gun is strong, he is not afraid of anyone.
