Become a feudal king from today

Chapter 88 Uncle and Nephew

"Uncle Emperor, slow down, don't choke, drink some wine."

In Prince Yan's Mansion, in the pavilion beside the lotus pond in the east courtyard, Zhao Xu and Prince Chun were sitting opposite each other.

At this time, King Chun was devouring the table full of food.

"It smells really good." King Chun held the roast chicken in his hand, his mouth full of oil.

During these few days in the deserted village, he couldn't eat well, sleep well, and 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 the table were not as exquisite or as delicious as those in the capital, he felt they were delicious now.

"Uh-huh, drink, drink, ah..." King Chun picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, then let out a satisfied sigh.

"My dear nephew, I have to say that the wine you brew is really good. It's sold like crazy in the capital. Your uncle, I, have also made a thousand jars. It would be shameless not to bring out this wine when entertaining guests." Wang took a bite of the roast chicken and looked around, "Speaking of which, you are selling ice and wine, and you have made a lot of money. This palace must be repaired and repaired, and it must not lose its royal demeanor."

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "Although I have made a lot of money, my nephew's expenses are also high. Yan County is very poor. In order to win people's hearts, the palace charges low taxes. It can be said that the expenses of Yan County are all From the royal palace.”

King Chun nodded, "It is indeed not easy for a good nephew, but if it were not for his magnanimity, it would indeed be difficult to gain a foothold in Yan County. The emperor also agrees with this."

King Yan's actions in Yan County have now spread to the capital.

Many people thought that King Yan's method of spending money to sell land from wealthy families was stupid.

But in his opinion, it was this kind of stupidity that saved King Yan.

"Oh? Really?" Zhao Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Zhao Heng agreed that it was reasonable for him to do so. After all, the emperor hoped that the world would be nothing but royal soil.

The ones who are unhappy are probably the powerful people in the court.

Because this method will undoubtedly weaken their power.

"Well, this is what the emperor said himself, but it's a waste of money." King Chun smiled, "But with the cleverness of my nephew, it seems that this matter has been solved. On the way here, I heard many businessmen saying It’s about the Yan County Trading Company, otherwise I wouldn’t have had the idea to send a letter to the trading company.”

"My nephew is just a little clever. However, although business goods are important, connections are equally important, otherwise the business will not be able to continue. So I hope that the emperor's uncle can take more care of my nephew's business after returning to the capital."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. You saved my life. This small favor can still help. If anyone dares to cause trouble for you in the capital, just ask your people to come to me." King Chun patted his chest.

Hearing this, Zhao Xu raised his wine glass and said, "Thank you very much, uncle."

The two drank a few more glasses, and King Chun finally felt full.

At this time, he remembered the business of this trip, "Qiu Sheng said that you have read the imperial edict, and there are only two things for this trip. First, you have meritorious service in killing the Beidi people, and the emperor has given you permission to expand the royal army to 30,000 people. "

"The second thing is the military supply bill. This year, the imperial court has removed the blood-replenishing pill from the military supply and replaced it with your secret medicine. The total amount is 800,000 taels of silver. You will deliver the goods to Yanguan now. Come, the money from the court will arrive soon."

"Eight hundred thousand taels." Zhao Xu secretly shouted, feeling excited.

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

In the future, whenever the court needs it, he will be given money.

The cost of allicin can be said to be very low, making a huge profit.

Most importantly, it opened the door to the arms trade.

This time he was able to sell medicine, and he might be able to sell other things in the future.

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

King Chun nodded, "Just right, I'll go with this batch of goods."

"Why did the emperor leave in such a hurry? Could it be that the nephew did not entertain him well?" Zhao Xu looked puzzled when he heard that King Chun was about to leave as soon as he arrived.

King Chun had a bitter look on his face, "This time the emperor insists that I go. It's really not what I want. Now I just want to get things done and go back to the capital to enjoy myself."

Zhao Xu suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. It turned out that the rumors about this imperial uncle were indeed true.

He said: "In this case, my nephew will not retain the emperor's uncle."

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

Zhao Xu couldn't laugh or cry, so he called a servant to order him to go to Beida camp, and asked Lu Chang to bring a thousand men and horses to escort King Chun.

After hearing this, King Chun nodded with satisfaction, "That Lu Chang is not bad, he is a strong man."

After a pause, he said: "It's just that this time the Zhang family's connection with Beidi really doesn't need to be discussed with the emperor?"

"No need, Song Ya is dead, there is no basis for his words, and my nephew doesn't want to scare others." 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 a move, allowing the Beidi people to lose their troops and defeat the Zhang family at the same time.

"Well, in this case, please take care of yourself, my dear nephew." King Chun handed over his hand.

In the afternoon.

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

Watch King Chun leave.

"This time Song Ya kidnapped King Chun, but gave His Highness a favor." Officials from Yan County came out with Zhao Xu to see him off.

After seeing King Chun disappear, Xu Lie smiled.

Zhao Xu shook his head, "You are overthinking. Prince Chun's attitude is just that of the emperor. If there is a conflict of interests, he will not care about my king saving his life this time."

"The most ruthless emperor's family, that's why." Liu Fu sighed slightly.

He is knowledgeable about the past and the present, so he 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 last general lead the men to raid the Zhang family. What's the use of keeping such a wolf-hearted person who forgets his ancestors and fights against the enemy?"

What he hates most is traitors who collaborate with foreign enemies.
