[Chapter 46 The Yuan Family]

“Yuan Li.”

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

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

“Zhang Kang is here too.” Feng’er added.

“He is really willing to help his son-in-law.” Zhao Xu snorted softly.

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

I just want to demonstrate to him, tell him that Zhang Kang is his son-in-law, and make the palace afraid.

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

After all, this is the real power figure in Yanzhou, even though he is the prince, he can’t be entrusted with it.

Thinking of this, he walked out.

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

The two reached the door together.

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

These cavalry are strong and strong, all with black helmets and black armor, only the feathers of the helmets are blue.

The scabbard at the waist is very exquisite, and it is extraordinary at first glance.

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

The strength of the Yuan family can be seen only from the equipment of this batch of cavalry.

His gaze moved to the front of a fat man with a big belly and round waist.

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

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

“His Royal Highness Yan, I recently heard from my son-in-law that your Highness has recovered, so I came here specially from Fan Yang to congratulate Your Highness.”

“Thank you Yuan Zhoumu. A few days ago, Zhang Junshou said that Zhou Mu was coming. I have been looking forward to it for a long time. Please come inside.” Zhao Xu went up to welcome him.

Giving a salute to each other, both of them had smiles on their faces.

Yuan Li saw that Zhao Xu received people and treated things like normal people, with a smile on his face, but he was unhappy in his heart.

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

So when Zhang Kang said that the king of Yan got rid of the Huang and Du families and took control of Yan County, he was taken aback.

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

Now that the king of Yan occupies Yanzhou, it really makes him unhappy.

Therefore, it is imperative to keep 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 guest of honor sat down, and he asked people to serve tea.

Zhao Xu said: “Yuanzhou Mu is busy with government affairs, so I am very grateful to be able to spare time to come to Yan County. I am in Yan County, and I hope Zhou Mu will take care of me.”

Yuan Li walked all the way in, and saw that Yan Wang’s mansion was a bit shabby, and Zhao Xu was in the imperial city. When he had no status and no support from his mother’s family, he despised him even more, but he didn’t show it on the surface.

And when he came this time, he wanted to support Zhang Kang, so he said, “It’s easy to say, it’s easy to say, the Yuan family in Yanzhou is the same. I’m not a vegetarian.”

Zhao Xu laughed lightly, and there was something in Yuan Li’s words.

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

“Haha, Yuan Zhoumu is really a joyful person.” Zhao Xu pretended to be grateful.

Yuan Li shook his hand, looked at Zhang Kang at this time, and said seemingly unintentionally: “Zhang Kang, you are the son-in-law of the Yuan family, but you must do your best under King Yan’s command, and don’t dishonor the reputation of my Yuan family. Let His Highness laugh.”

“Father-in-law is on top, son-in-law obeys.” Zhang Kang looked respectful.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

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

There was no need to worry about his plans.

Thinking of this, he gave another salute to Zhao Xu, “Your Highness, from now on, if I do something wrong, please forgive me.”

“Mr. Zhang is very polite. I am extremely honored to have such a capable minister as Mr. Zhang. After that, the

three of them laughed.

He also chatted some gossip about the old affairs of the imperial city.

It will be late.

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

Drink three rounds.

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

In Fanyang, he had already drank wine from Yan County, and suddenly felt that there was no better wine in the world.

This time he came to Yan County, not only because of Zhang Kang’s affairs, but also because of the fine wine.

“Your Highness, I have a merciless request from you.” After drinking, Yuan Li opened his mouth.

“Please tell me, Yuan Zhoumu.” Zhao Xu put down his wine glass.

“The wine made by Your Highness is really a rare fairy wine in the world. Now, if I don’t drink it for a day, I feel that three meals are tasteless. I also want to buy a batch from the palace, and I ask Your Highness to agree.” Yuan Li said.

“This matter is simple, how much does the state pastor need?” Zhao Xu never refused.

He is now equivalent to a manufacturer, not afraid of too many orders.

“Thirty thousand altars.” Yuan Li raised three fingers.

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

Yanzhou is located in the north, so it is not as rich as the south.

Most of the ways to make money rely on commerce.

The businessman is shrewd, how could his Yuan family be stupid and not do business that makes money.

If he hadn’t been worried about the imperial court, and Zhao Xu was the prince, he would even figure out how to make wine.

Now, he can only settle for the next best thing and ask King Yan to supply the Yuan family with a large amount of supplies.

“Yes.” Zhao Xu agreed without hesitation.

The Wangfu Winery will soon expand its production, and this order came in a timely manner.

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

Zhao Xu sent it to the door before returning.

In the night.

Yuan Li’s guard lit a torch and looked at Zhang Kang. Yuan Li’s smile gradually disappeared.

“This time I will personally come forward, 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, immediately send someone to pass the news to me.”

Zhang Kang dared not Taking a breath, he lowered his eyebrows and responded, “Yes, my lord father-in-law.”

Nodding his head, Yuan Li said again: “Also, you should be careful about the trade with Beidi, and don’t let King Yan find out, especially those who sell weapons and armor. It would be very troublesome if he stabbed him to the court.”

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

Even Zhang Kang is not good enough for a daughter from the Yuan family.

But when Zhang Kang led a Beidi 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, wanting to use Zhang Kang, he agreed to the marriage.

Over the years, Zhang Kang has indeed earned a lot of money for the Yuan family, buying a lot of war horses, cattle and sheep from Beidi.

However, the imperial court strictly forbids trade with Beidi, so this matter is extremely delicate.

“My son-in-law dare not be sloppy.” Zhang Kang replied.

As if to calm Zhang Kang’s heart, he said: “You don’t have to be afraid of this King Yan, you should be courteous first and then soldier. If he doesn’t know how to praise, I will embarrass him.” As he

said that, the figures of a group of people disappeared into the darkness.

palace.

After the banquet, Liu Fu did not go back.

Yuan Li’s arrival made the plan he had thought up these days to deal with the Zhang family come to naught.

“If you don’t get rid of the Zhang family, it’s like a stick in your throat.” Liu Fu gritted his teeth.

Zhao Xu remained silent, but he was not as excited as Liu Fu.

As far as he is concerned, he has mastered the military and political power of Yan County, which is stable.

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

Next, you only need to accumulate wealth, improve technology, and build your army into an invincible army.

Power comes out of the barrel of a gun, as long as the barrel of the gun is hardened, he is not afraid of anyone.
