Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 139

[Chapter 139]

“Ahem…”

Zhao Xu coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment.

During the war with the Beidi people, Tianxiang Tower has been guarded.

This shows his distrust of Tianxianglou.

After the news of his assassination and death spread, Xu E came to the palace, and it is said that she cried very desolately.

But under the circumstances at that time, Feng’er had no choice but to block her back.

Later, Yancheng returned to tranquility, and Tianxianglou continued to do business.

Xu E didn’t come out to play the piano and sing again, saying that she was ill.

“Your Highness’s slave family is really miserable.” Xu E gave Zhao Xu another look, all charming and charming.

Zhao Xu sighed: “This king didn’t expect that Miss Xu would be sad and sick, but what can I do to let Miss Xu be devoted to this king.”

“Your Highness, you still remember saving a girl who was hammered to death eight years ago.” Shi Huan’er said crisply.

“Eight years ago?” Zhao Xu searched for memories in his mind.

Xu E just looked at him quietly.

“I remember now.” Zhao Xu found a picture.

In the picture, a girl fell down on the roadside in winter, and it was the Ninth Prince who made a bowl of hot porridge for her to drink.

He looked at Xu E’s face carefully, and it was really similar to that girl back then.

“You are her?” Zhao Xu asked in surprise.

“Yes, the slave family has never forgotten His Highness’s life-saving grace these years, so they helped His Highness after arriving in Yan County.” Finally, she said a secret in her heart, and she seemed to feel a lot easier.

“It’s really a coincidence.” Zhao Xu smiled, “It’s just that you…”

“You can’t say that.” Xu E smiled playfully.

Zhao Xu frowned, “It’s precisely this that I can’t say, that’s why I don’t believe in you Tianxianglou, I don’t believe in you, and I can’t be honest with Miss Xu.”

Xu E’s eyes dimmed, and she forced herself to fight Smiling, “Your Highness, just remember that the slave family will not harm His Highness. As for the identity of Tianxianglou, His Highness will know when the time is right.”

Then she looked at the bottle in Zhao Xu’s hand and asked with her chin propped: ” Your Highness, what is it here?”

“Perfume.” Zhao Xu said, “This time I came to Miss Xu for it.”

Xu E showed an interesting look, “Perfume, the name is very unique, what is the use of it?”

Zhao Xu put the bottle on the table, also dipped some of it with a feather, and sprinkled it on Xu E’s body, “to add fragrance to the beauty.”

A little perfume spilled out, and the whole room immediately smelled fragrant.

Both Xu E and Huan’er were shocked for a while.

Then it smelled greedily.

Zhao Xu continued, “This stuff is sprinkled on clothes and body when turned around, it is a hundred times stronger than incense.”

Xu E grew up in the Tianxiang Building since she was a child, so she naturally understands the truth of competing for beauty.

She immediately understood the preciousness of this perfume and understood what Zhao Xu meant.

“Your Highness really doesn’t want to go to the Three Treasures Palace.” Xu E glanced at Zhao Xu resentfully, and she was also secretly happy that King Yan finally remembered her, “Well, I will help His Highness with this, but this perfume is really good. People love it when they see it, and His Highness will be rich again.”

“Then thank Miss Xu.” Zhao Xu said.

Xu E nodded lightly, “If the sisters in Tianxianglou like it, I will send the perfume to Tianxianglou in Dasong.”

“This is the best.” Zhao Xu smiled.

After sitting for a while and chatting with Xu E for a while, Zhao Xu got up and left, he still had to go to a business store.

Leaning against the window, watching Zhao Xu walk towards the business opposite Jinlin Pond, Xu E showed a faint smile, and murmured, “I don’t believe that this stone can’t be warmed.”

Xiaohuan shook her head, looking helpless The appearance of asking for medicine.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Xiaohuan went to open the door, and a group of women came in, “Sister Xu, what does it smell like? It smells so good.”

Xu E turned around, remembered what King Yan had ordered, and picked up the bottle on the table to explain to the women.

When she imitated Zhao Xu and spilled the perfume in the bottle, it caused a burst of exclamation.

“Sister, give it to me, I want it.”

“Why give it to you, sister give it to me.”

“Don’t make trouble, I have body odor, I need this most, sprinkle this can really cover it, in the future Then you can become a real vixen.” A woman looked excited.

“Give it to me.”

“Give it to me.”

“…” The

women’s words became more and more intense.

Xu E looked at the red-faced woman and smiled brightly. She suddenly felt that this matter was a good opportunity for her to get in touch with King Yan.

…

Yanzhou Commercial Bank.

As soon as Zhao Xu arrived, he attracted the attention of merchants.

They all surrounded and saluted Zhao Xu.

During this period of time, their life was not easy.

The goods bought in the palace cannot be transported to the south by Fan Yang.

They will lose a lot if the wine doesn’t sell.

Fortunately, news came that Shanggu County has now become the fiefdom of King Yan.

This allowed them to bypass Fan Yang from Shanggu County.

However, Jinzhou was in turmoil, and Sizhou was the territory of the Ma family, so he was also a little worried.

But I heard that King Yan and the Ma family had a very happy conversation, so I looked forward to it again.

Now that King Yan is here, they want to get the truth from King Yan.

If the trade route is really cut off, the business will no longer be able to make money.

They could only reluctantly leave Yan County.

“Your Highness.” Yang Cheng got the news and came down from upstairs.

He has been haggard a lot during this time.

All the merchants made trouble with him, especially the merchants acting as agents in the south, and demanded that the money be returned.

He can only be with a smiling face all day long, and he has to be scolded.

“Thank you, this time.” Zhao Xu patted Yang Cheng’s shoulder.

When the trade route was cut off, the merchant’s temper turned on him.

“Compared to those soldiers who died, this grievance is nothing.” Yang Cheng’s eyes were firmer than before.

Witnessing the great battle in Yancheng and participating in the memorial ceremony for the dead soldiers made him more conscious of fulfilling his duties.

Zhao Xu nodded. He looked at the merchants and knew what they were waiting for.

So he said: “Today, my king will give you a reassurance. Fan Yang can’t leave, but the Ma family has promised me that he can take the business road to the west. The palace will work with the Ma family to maintain this business road.”

From Zhao Xu’s mouth Hearing this sentence, a stone fell from the hearts of the businessmen.

Some businessmen even shed tears with excitement.

All of their worth was put on the business of the palace, and now they finally had a way out.

“Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness.” The merchants said one after another.

Zhao Xu waved his hand, “After all, this matter was caused by the conflict between the king and the Yuan family. You have suffered a lot. In this way, the palace has released a new kind of goods. In order to make up for the merchants who suffered losses, this king allows you to get the goods first. ”

“New goods.” The merchants suddenly became interested.

Yang Cheng looked happy.

The goods in the firm were indeed monotonous, and he had been looking forward to replenishing them.

At this moment, Zhao Xu took out the perfume, which was parted from the bottle.

“This is perfume…” He told the merchant what he had introduced to Xu E, and asked the merchant to pass it on.

These merchants are people who frequent the place of fireworks and quickly realize the value of perfume.

I used some on myself and was even more amazed at the powerful effect of the perfume.

“Awesome, once this thing comes out, it will definitely

be shocking.” “It can definitely drive women crazy.”

“I didn’t expect it to be a blessing in disguise, to get such benefits.”

“…” The

fragrance filled the shop, and the merchants completely forgot what happened a while ago. What a shame, my mind is completely filled with perfume.

And on the second floor of the commercial building, Yang He was frantically flattering Zhao Xu, “The admiration of the officials for His Highness is really like a torrent of water, endless.”

Zhao Xu sat with his legs crossed by the window and looked at the street.

Yang Cheng courteously poured tea for Zhao Xu, and served it himself.

“The expert who instructed His Highness must also be a fairy-like figure.” Yang Cheng stood beside Zhao Xu, smiling all over his face.

Zhao Xu lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then smiled lightly.

This was the reason he made up when he just woke up, but Yang Cheng still remembered it now.

He said: “It’s just a gadget. There are still many things that will make your jaw drop in the future.”

“Hahaha, if that’s the case, I will be waiting for you.” Yang Cheng arched his hands and resumed his usual joy. .

The crisis facing the firm was easily resolved by King Yan.

Now that he has added such a product that is sure to sell well to the firm, his whole body is suddenly full of energy.

I was chatting with Yang Cheng when a servant of the palace came up from downstairs.

“Your Highness, the imperial decree has arrived.”

Zhao Xu was overjoyed when he heard this.

This means that he can officially take over Shanggu County.

Back at the palace, he saw a familiar face, Tong San.

The last time he came to Yan County to proclaim the imperial edict.

“Your Highness.” When the

two met, Tong San smiled warmly, like an old friend who hadn’t seen him for many years.

The last time Yinzi fed him very full, seeing Zhao Xu was as close as meeting Yinzi.

“Hey, my hard-working father-in-law made another trip.” Zhao Xu was equally enthusiastic.

The close ministers around these emperors naturally wooed them as much as they could.

“It’s not hard work, I can deliver the imperial decree to His Highness, and I’m too happy to be happy.” Tong San took the imperial decree at this time, without proclaiming it, and handed it directly to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, and Tong San looked at each other, and they both laughed at the same time.

It stands to reason that the procedure of announcing the decree cannot be omitted.

But some eunuchs sometimes omit this process in order to show their closeness.

“Then thank you, Eunuch.” Zhao Xu arched his hands, and then said to Feng’er: “Take my king’s heart here.”

“How can this be done?” Tong San pushed his mouth upwards, but his eyes revealed a childish smile meaning.

Not long after, the servants came over carrying the boxes.

Tong San glanced slightly, and was even more happy, this time more than last time.

But it’s normal, after all, the happy event this time is much bigger than last time.

“My father-in-law traveled across mountains and rivers, so what are these things?” Zhao Xu handed Tong San a step down.

“Since that’s the case, Xiao Nu will not be polite.” Tong San laughed out loud.

At this time, Zhao Xu unfolded the imperial decree and glanced at the contents. The decree inside was indeed to grant Shanggu County to him.

In addition, he is allowed to support 60,000 troops.

After confirming this matter, he breathed a sigh of relief, and handed the imperial decree to Chang Wei and Liu Fu who were waiting aside.

The two watched with excitement.

Tong San ordered people to accept the money, and took out a letter from his bosom.

“Your Highness, this is a letter from Concubine Mi and my slave.”

“Concubine Mi.” This word made Zhao Xu smile slightly.

After all, this woman is his mother in this life.

She changed from a nobleman to a concubine Mi overnight, and her status in the palace rose sharply, he was still happy.

After scanning the contents of the letter, Zhao Xu put the letter away.

In the letter, Concubine Mi said how she missed him, taught him to be diligent in politics, and finally talked about the empress and the prince.

It seems that this time, he inadvertently got Concubine Mi involved in the court battle.

However, this seems to be an unavoidable problem.

Ever since he was imprinted as a prince, he was doomed to never get rid of these matters of the emperor’s family in his life.

But that’s okay, now that the crown prince and the third prince want to use him.

He also uses their influence for his own benefit.

In this way, my business in the south can be more secure.

“Eunuch Tong might as well stay in Yan County for a few more days this time, to get a taste of the customs and customs of Yan County.”

Tong San was still by his side, Zhao Xu said after recovering.

“Little slave really wants to get close to His Highness, but the emperor’s order is in his body, he cannot be disobeyed, and he has to leave tomorrow.” Tong San looked regretful.

At this time Zhao Xu suddenly smelled a faint fragrance, he looked at Tong San and suddenly remembered.

In the palace, eunuchs and court ladies would burn incense, because it represented a kind of cleanliness.

Just imagine, if they smelled of sweat when serving concubines, they might fall out of favor.

Therefore, they are very concerned about making themselves delicious.

Thinking of this, he was overjoyed, and said, “In that case, I will keep Eunuch, but tomorrow morning, I will give Eunuch another treasure.”

Tong San’s eyes widened slightly, and he cupped his hands again, “Thank you very much.” Your Highness loves you very much.”

That night, Zhao Xu hosted a banquet in the palace for Tong San and the imperial guards who came.

At the same time, Feng Er urged the middle court to produce a batch of perfume overnight.

The next day, he handed over four boxes, three, one, and one, to Tong San.

“Your Highness, what is here?” Tong San opened his small box and saw five small porcelain bottles inside.

“The name of this product is perfume, and it is a new commercial product from the palace. You only need to sprinkle a little on your body, and the fragrance will last for about four hours.” Zhao Xu said.

When Tong San heard this, he immediately showed an interesting expression.

He hurriedly opened a porcelain bottle and sprinkled the liquid inside on his clothes, and the fragrance immediately overflowed.

Greedily smelling the smell on his body, Tong Sansan was overjoyed, “Oh, thank you Your Highness, this thing is really good, such a small bottle can be carried with you, and it will be fragrant everywhere in the future.”

Zhao Xu saw Tong San Sanyi was happy for a while, and she gave a finger like a woman, and got goosebumps all over her body.

He forced a smile, “As long as the father-in-law likes it, and this one is for the father, this one is for Mr. Liang, and this one is for my concubine mother.” “Put it on Xiaonu

.” Tong San suddenly felt It was worth the fatigue when I came here, this King Yan can always surprise people.

Send Tong San all the way to the south gate, and Tong San and his party leave.

He has used all the means he can use to promote the perfume, and the rest just needs to wait quietly for the diffusion.

But now, the problem he has to face is to take over Shanggu County.

Although Shanggu County is already his fiefdom, it is the same as Yan County.

The first thing he has to face now is the wealthy family in Shanggu County.

As far as he knew, Gao Yuan, the prefect of Shanggu County, and Yuan’s family were also related by marriage.

However, he married his daughter into the Yuan family, and it was because of this relationship that he could become the sheriff of Shanggu County.

As far as he is concerned, he naturally cannot bear the control of his fiefdom by the rich.

These forces that are dedicated to being the hawks of the Yuan family, entrenched in their own land, will make him feel sick even when he eats.

“Chang Wei, order 10,000 horses to follow me to Shanggu County. Liu Fu, you go too.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” The two said in unison.

Now that the imperial decree has come down, it is natural to merge Shanggu County into King Yan’s land.

There is also Feihuguan, a pass leading to Jinzhou from the west of Shanggu County.

Next, it’s time to flex your muscles.
