I am the master of this world

Chapter 163 The Housekeeper Who Makes Money
Hearing Shen Ning's compliment, Jia Xu said with a smile: "The Great Jin Dynasty has decayed, and the Eight Kings are ambitious. My plan is just to push the boat along with the flow. Just like the conversation with Mr. Shen last time, even if you force His Majesty to do something in advance, let the Eight Kings make trouble. With the flames of war everywhere, it will take a long time for the Great Jin to completely perish. In comparison, the bet with Mr. Shen makes me value more and more."

After a pause, Jia Xu continued: "During this period, Mr. Shen not only became famous in the imperial capital, but also saved Princess Changle. He was promoted to the third rank, and now he is a captain of Xiaoqi. It seems that he has something to do with Dihuwei. Back in Xuzhou, relying on Li Yuanxiao's relationship, Mr. Shen will really rise to the top.

At that time, with the son's strategy, it will be easy to control Xuzhou Weidu.However, I estimated the time. It will take one to two years for Mr. Shen to completely take down Xuzhou Wei, and the official position is the biggest hidden danger for Mr. Shen.

Even if Xuzhou Wei is completely mastered, he is only one of the princes and princes in the world, not the best. It is extremely difficult to become the most powerful prince in the Jin Dynasty within three years.So Jia was very curious about Mr. Shen's follow-up actions. "

Shen Ning nodded, Jia Xu's calculations were correct, indeed, even if he mastered Xuzhou Wei, it would be difficult to become the most powerful prince in the world, and it would be impossible to destroy the Great Jin at that time, because other forces would still have to hold high The banner of the Great Jin continues to grow, whoever is the first to stand up against the Great Jin will become the target of public criticism, and will be attacked by the heroes at that time.

"Mr. has far-reaching thoughts, how can you not guess that little bit of careful thinking?" Shen Ning replied.

Jia Xu chuckled, and said: "The imperial capital is the center of the Jin Dynasty. If you want to be the one who stirs up the situation, you must come here. It seems that Mr. Shen's goal is still in the imperial capital, but I can't guess what Mr. Shen will do .”

"If sir is curious, would you like to accompany me to appreciate it?" Shen Ning solicited again.

Jia Xu drank a cup of tea and answered Shen Ning with a smile.

Although there is a systematic blessing of favorability, Jia Xu is a life-saving person, and what he values ​​most is his own life, so if Shen Ning does not have the ability to protect him, Jia Xu will not take refuge, at least, with Shen Ning now His power still can't win over him.

Shen Ning was not disappointed, and immediately asked: "Mr. waited for me specially, it should not be just asking about these things."

Jia Xu nodded and said: "My plan is not successful, so naturally I can't stay with King Runan anymore. After I return to the fief with King Runan, I will leave in a short time. At that time, it is estimated that the emperor will come They are all settled down. So this time I waited for the son, and specifically explained."

"Well, sir, stay in the imperial capital temporarily, and I will come back soon." After Shen Ning responded, his attention was attracted by what Jia Xu said just now.

"King Runan attaches great importance to Mr. How can Mr. leave?" Shen Ning caught an important point and asked.

Jia Xu did not answer Shen Ning's question, but explained: "Among the eight kings, King Runan and King Qi have similar tempers, and they are definitely not good lords. Although they have military power in their hands, they will be the first to be destroyed once the separatist regime begins. So It is very dangerous to be tied to the boat of King Runan. As for how to break away from the camp of King Runan, Jia has his own plan."

"If Mister needs help, I can introduce the Xun family in Yuzhou to Mister." Shen Ning said.

Jia Xu did not refuse, "Then thank you Mr. Shen."

After the two finished drinking tea, Shen Ning took Jia Xu to the Xiushan Bookstore and met Xun Zhiruo.

Although Xun Zhiruo is a female, her status in the Xun family is not simple. Her talent in business has made the Xun family's industry bigger and bigger. Now she has perfume and liquor, which can expand her voice.Moreover, his father Xun Kangnai is the next successor of the Xun family.

With Shen Ning's introduction, Xun Zhiruo and Jia Xu chatted for a long time, and finally Xun Zhiruo wrote a letter in his own hand, and when Jia Xu returned to Yuzhou, he could go to see Xun Kang.As for the cooperation between Jia Xu and Xun Kang, Shen Ning didn't ask much, just wait and see.

Then Jia Xu said goodbye.

Only Shen Ning and Xun Zhiruo were left in the house.

"How is the refining of the perfume and liquor going?" Shen Ning lay on the chair, with his legs raised, and put on the opposite bench, posing a lazy posture.

Xun Zhiruo glanced at him and said angrily: "Can't you behave properly?"

"Where am I not serious? If I am not serious, I should take off my clothes now." Shen Ning snorted coldly.

Xun Zhiruo was very speechless to him, and at the same time very helpless, she thought she was smart and eloquent, but faced with Shen Ning's repeated setbacks, now she understood that it was not because she was shallow in knowledge, nor because she was uncouth, but because the other party was too shameless.

You can never reason with a shameless person.

"The instrument has been made, and distillation and purification have begun. The first batch will be completed in a few days. When will you return to Xuzhou?" Xun Zhiruo asked.

Shen Ning said: "Sima Haiyun has long wanted to go back. When His Majesty's birthday is over, there will be a delay of seven or eight days at most. After I have settled the situation, I have to leave. What about you?"

"I won't leave for the time being, I will stay in the imperial capital with my aunt." Xun Zhiruo replied.

Shen Ning suddenly smiled and said, "If I hadn't met Jia Xu just now, I would have gone to find my third uncle. I heard that your aunt is pestering my third uncle?"

"How do you talk, what is pestering! They are like each other, but they were not together back then." Xun Zhiruo glared at Shen Ning.

Shen Ning nodded and sighed: "Third Uncle sacrificed too much for the Shen family. If possible, we should start a family. When the time comes, we two will get married, and we will become closer."

"Who wants to marry you! Stop dreaming!" Xun Zhiruo almost threw the teacup in his hand at Shen Ning.

Seeing her go crazy, Shen Ning laughed happily.

For some reason, Shen Ning felt very relaxed when staying with Xun Zhiruo.It's just that she's too smart. If she were dumber, she could win.

"By the way, what is the origin of that Jia Xu? I feel that this person is too cunning. If I didn't save face for you, I would never write a letter to introduce him to my father. My Xun family adheres to the doctrine of the mean, and I just want to be quiet. Continue quietly, and have no interest in dominating the world." Xun Zhiruo said.

Shen Ning sneered: "You are in the whirlpool, and you still want to stay out of it? How is it possible, there is no such good thing in the world, even if your Xun family doesn't want to fight, you still have to make a choice."

"In that case, then I'll choose you." Xun Zhiruo said casually while pouring tea without raising her head.

Shen Ning was startled, and smiled randomly: "Okay! Then you will make good money for me, and you will be my housekeeper from now on."

If you really want to cultivate Dihuwei into Dongchang, you have to spend money, and you can buy people's hearts if you are willing to spend money.

Cooperating with Zhao Qingxuan this time, Sima Zhou asked Shen Ning to investigate the Yang family and find the missing prescription.In fact, from the beginning to the end, Shen Ning's main purpose was to make Sima Zhou aware of the importance of monitoring officials.As for whether it can worsen his relationship with the Yang family and King Qi, it is all secondary.

For this scheming, Shen Ning spent a huge sum of money, and asked Meng Xingchen to plot against a core old manager of the Yang family.

Lured by Meng Xingchen, the old steward's son owed a huge sum of money, and his life would be in danger soon. Facing the life-threatening only son, the old steward chose to betray the Yang family.

So in the past few days, Shen Ning asked the old steward to record all the information in detail. When Sima Zhou's birthday is over, it will be Shen Ning's performance. Let's not mention this matter for now.

Hearing Shen Ning's words, Xun Zhiruo rolled her eyes at Shen Ning and pushed the poured tea to Shen Ning.

After Shen Ning finished his tea, he went to Zuixianlou again, and met Xun Zhiruo's aunt.

She is a mature woman who bid farewell to youthfulness and became intellectual, and the years have not affected her beauty.She sat next to Meng Xingchen, quietly, and looked at Shen Ning with her eyes.

Shen Ning's small mouth is so sweet, calling her aunt directly made her smile and shy.

Meng Xingchen was also a little embarrassed, but he didn't explain anything.

The girl waited so long infatuatedly, even abducted her niece and introduced it to your nephew, such a good woman who is willing to share joys and sorrows, how could Meng Xingchen have the heart to reject her again?
Is it possible that you really want to be a heartbreaker?
Meng Xingchen was not that kind of person either.

Shen Ning stayed in Zuixian Tower for a long time, and had an in-depth exchange with Meng Xingchen about the follow-up plan.

After Shen Ning left the imperial capital, Meng Xingchen had to take care of all the big and small things here, but Meng Xingchen was a traitor, so he couldn't show his face, and someone had to be responsible for the public affairs.

So Shen Ning decided to keep Lu Xun in the imperial capital.

In this case, there are Meng Xingchen and He Xuanwu in the dark, and Lu Xun in the bright.

Xun Zhiruo is responsible for making money in business and providing funds.

Zhao Qingxuan cooperated in the palace, and Princess Changle and her mother, Princess Yiyang, helped outside the palace.

Even if Shen Ning leaves the imperial capital, his plans will not stop.

Before I knew it, it was already dark.

Thinking that the birthday banquet in the palace was about to end, Shen Ning returned to the Five Phoenix Tower.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the birthday banquet was over, and Sima Haiyun also walked out of the palace.

"I'm terrified of eating this birthday banquet. After two more days, it will be over." Sima Haiyun sighed.

Since coming to the imperial capital, Sima Haiyun almost ate and drank in the mansion and didn't go out at all. One is because of his personality, and the other is that Shen Ning deliberately frightened him and told him that Sima Jiong was eyeing him and was going to assassinate him.He is a fat man who cherishes his life, so naturally he stays in the palace obediently.

In fact, Sima Jiong was really eyeing him covetously, and he had already thought of killing Sima Haiyun, so that the Southeast King would lose his son in his later years and avenge the grievances of the past.It's a pity that Sima Haiyun used the word Zhai in a daze, which made Sima Jiong helpless.

Shen Ning sent Sima Haiyun to the carriage and asked, "His Highness is so emotional. Could it be that something big happened at the birthday banquet?"

Tonight's birthday banquet, all the important ministers and lords who can participate, such as the eight kings, ten princes, three high-ranking officials, six ministers, etc., are lower than the third-rank official position, and the title is below the earl, so they are not eligible to enter the hall to celebrate the birthday .

"It's nothing serious, but the relationship at the birthday banquet was intricate and complicated. It can be seen that His Majesty has had a long-standing opinion on the seven princes and me, and the seven princes held back their anger. In order to show their loyalty, the ten princes, There is a posture of common hatred and hatred. King Runan is right. These princes are the root of the cholera Jin Dynasty. We are all the Sima royal family. We fought back and forth. Isn’t the Dajin also surnamed Sima! And these princes are the only ones It's wolf ambition!"

"Then there are those court loyal ministers, all flattering and celebrating their birthdays. Their faces make me sick to see them."

"Oh, by the way, something interesting to say, does Yang Yanfeng know? Tangtang Shang Shuling, the head of the Yang family, the current uncle, the birthday gift presented to His Majesty was disliked by His Majesty, and instead he was reprimanded. Didn't you see, at that time Yang Yanfeng's expression changed, and even Concubine Yan's expression turned ugly."
