The waste prince is so fierce
Chapter 82 The market suddenly became hot
"Second brother, you must think of a solution! If all else fails, let's go and ask Lord Zhao for help. Our He family has been very respectful to him over the years, maybe he can come forward and ask His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi to give him some face."
He Xun placed his last hope on the county magistrate Zhao Wang.
But after hearing this, there was no sign of relaxation on He Chong's face.
"Humph, you've been with Mr. Zhao for so many years, don't you know what kind of person he is?"
He Chong sneered and continued, "He is quite positive when there are benefits, but when it comes to real things, do you really think he can help?"
"The He's store is the foundation of our He family in Wuwei. Without its financial support, how can we move the salt industry in Wuwei County?" He Chong sighed, "I will try to talk to Lord Zhao. As for whether he is willing to help, I can only leave it to fate."
Although He Chong did not hold out much hope that Zhao Wang would be able to help him, Zhao Wang's career was largely due to the funds from He's shop. The collapse of He's shop was not a good thing for Zhao Wang.
So, He Chong decided to go find Zhao Wang and give it a try.
……
Just as He Chong was on his way to the County Magistrate's Mansion, in the Qingyun Teahouse, Li Quan was leisurely sipping a pot of top-quality tea that cost ten taels.
"Tsk, this tea is really good. Ten taels of silver for a pot is really worth it. The taste is much better than that in the tea stalls on the street." Li Quan exclaimed.
After hearing this, Zeng Wenjing whispered, "A pot of tea at Qingyun Teahouse costs ten taels of silver, while a bowl of tea at a street tea stall costs only three cents. The price difference is huge, and the taste is naturally different as well." She was not keen on drinking tea, but she knew something about the tea ceremony.
Then, Zeng Wenjing asked curiously, "Your Highness, how did you know that the He family would let He Changshi come to put pressure on me?" She knew that if He Chong hadn't appeared, Li Quan wouldn't have shown up. But she didn't understand how Li Quan expected He Chong to show up.
Li Quan put down his teacup and explained, "The He family is in a difficult situation right now. They came to me for negotiations, so they will naturally prepare their final trump card. If you agree to cooperate with the He family, He Chong will not have to show up. But if you refuse, as the He family's biggest trump card, He Chong will naturally come out in person to put pressure on you. So, if He Chong doesn't show up, I won't show up either; once He Chong shows up, I have to respond."
Zeng Wenjing suddenly realized: "So that's it."
Li Quan added: "Although I have shocked He Chong with my status as the King of Qi, I estimate that the He family will not give up easily. Bring more guards with you when you go out recently to avoid any accidents."
After hearing this, Zeng Wenjing nodded seriously.
What Li Quan didn't expect was that the He family's next target of action was actually him...
After finishing the meeting with the He family, Zeng Wenjing returned to the soap shop. As the Li's Chamber of Commerce sold pearl soap at a price of 500 coins per piece, the pearl soap market, which had been gradually cooling down, suddenly became hot again. This time, not only the rich and powerful rushed to buy it, but also ordinary people joined the craze of buying pearl soap.
Although the price of 500 Wen per piece was not cheap for ordinary people, many people were still willing to spend this money to buy a bar of soap for their wives.
So now, even if the soap shop hired twice as many workers, the soap produced is still in short supply and the store is often out of stock.
Zeng Wenjing had to travel back and forth between the Li Chamber of Commerce and the soap shop frequently, urging Xiao Tingting to arrange production quickly.
After the He family and Zeng Wenjing left, Li Quan also prepared to return to the palace.
But just as he stood up, the door of the box was suddenly pushed open.
A woman who looked quite charming immediately gestured for him to stop talking, and then quickly hid behind the screen.
Li Quan looked at this pretty woman who was about 25 or 26 years old and dressed in purple. What attracted him most was her plump figure. With the mysterious purple dress, she was simply fascinating.
But this woman's series of actions left Li Quan confused and he didn't know what she was doing.
Just when he was about to ask for clarification, footsteps were heard at the door again.
A middle-aged man with a black mole on the corner of his mouth rushed in, cursing, saying that the woman dared to cheat on him and he would catch them and put them in a pig cage.
Li Quan saw the man, and the man also saw him. He asked fiercely if he had seen a woman in purple.
Li Quan pointed behind the screen and said that the woman was hiding there. As a result, the woman behind the screen stamped her feet in anger, but she had no choice but to come out.
The man searched the room, trying to find the hiding man.
Seeing them like this, Li Quan didn't want to get involved, so he said that he was the only one here and he was leaving.
But the woman grabbed his arm and said that Li Quan was the adulterer.
Li Quan quickly let go of her and told her that he had to respect himself. The woman was a little stunned to see him like this, because few men could refuse her.
Although she is already 26 years old, she has taken good care of herself and is naturally beautiful, which has attracted many men.
But now Li Quan is so serious that she is a little uncomfortable with it.
Oh, I didn't expect that there are people who don't even take advantage of something that's right at their doorstep, Liu Qingmei thought to herself and couldn't help but look at Li Quan a few more times.
Look at his handsome appearance, his eyes like stars, and the noble air he exudes. It's really curious.
Thinking of how Li Quan had exposed her hiding place just now, Liu Qingmei teased him deliberately: "Humph, didn't you say last night that you wanted to be with me forever? Why are you scared by such a small thing now? If you have the idea in your heart but don't have the courage, then I really misjudged you."
When Wang Jun heard this, he immediately turned his attention to Li Quan: "Well, you, so you are the mistress! I must break your legs today, you dare to seduce my wife!" After saying that, Wang Jun raised his fist and hit Li Quan.
Li Quan looked at Wang Jun, who didn't allow him to explain, and frowned slightly. Just when Wang Jun's fist was about to hit his face, he dodged it by turning sideways.
The next second, Wang Jun felt a pain in his chest and was knocked flying by a huge force, hitting the wall.
Li Quan was quite surprised when he saw himself kicking Wang Jun away.
Although he is a prince, he has never fought with anyone.
I didn’t expect that the standing practice I practiced every day would be so useful.
A few months ago, he would definitely not be able to beat a grown man, but now Wang Jun was like a child in his eyes.
He even felt that if he had used all his strength in that kick, Wang Jun might have fainted.
Wang Jun was kicked to the ground. He got up while holding his chest and shouting, "Just wait and see how I'm going to deal with you!" After that, he held his chest and staggered out of the private room.
