After raising the emperor, he always wanted to marry me

In the early autumn of July, the weather was already getting hotter and hotter.

Han Mochu and Su Che spent 800 taels of silver plate to set up two herbal medicine shops, and they officially put up a sign and opened on the street on the eighth day of July.

On the opening day, apart from the necessary squire land security, the first distinguished guest invited was Zhou Xiaosu.Han Mochu also gave Zhou Xiao Su a pen and paper on the spot, and asked him to write inscriptions for the two herbal medicine shops.

For two plaques with ten characters, Zhou Xiaosu got 100 taels of silver.

One word, ten taels of silver.

Ten taels of silver is three months' salary for a border guard of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

When I got here, I only needed to write one word.

Han Mochu's crude medicine shop has been open for a few days, and the business is neither good nor bad.

Su Che seemed to be back to his old business, playing with his bottles and jars again, and concocting those panacea for beauty and health.

Han Mochu devoted himself to being a poet friend of Zhou Dazhuzhu. Every day, he went to Jinquan Restaurant to accompany Zhou Xiaosu to drink and compose poems, or entertained Zhou Xiaosu to have fun.And each time the hands are more generous, the gifts are either gold, silver, antiques or jewelry and jade.

After going back and forth, Zhou Xiaosu figured out the real intention of this seemingly inhuman man.

That day was a rare autumn breeze.

Zhou Xiaosu invited Han Mochu to sit on the second floor of Jinquan Restaurant and enjoy the moon together.

That day, Zhou Xiaosu only invited Han Mochu alone, not even the yamen servants he brought with him on weekdays.

Delicacies from mountains and seas, fine nectar and jade liquid are set on the table.Han Mochu was wearing an elegant autumn-colored robe with wide sleeves. When he didn't say a word, he was really eye-catching.

After drinking a cup of warm Luofuchun wine, Zhou Xiaosu cut to the chase and said, "My dear brother, I've always been a person who likes to speak out. We've known each other for so long, so don't hide anything from me. Just keep it in sight." I still have some skills, so don't miss this opportunity."

Han Mochu had a good look, lifted the jug and poured a cup with Zhou Xiaosu with a smile on his face: "Master Zhou, you have taken care of me enough these days, I dare not bother you anymore."

"Look, look, look at your cautious look, can I still eat you, my lord?" Zhou Xiaosu took a sip from his wine glass: "The two raw medicine shops you bought are big enough Income? I know the net profit of the raw medicine. You kid makes such a method every day, and your family will be wiped out within a month. Tell me, what kind of business is your family doing? Why did you come to Wujiang?"

Han Mochu was taken aback for a moment, and then raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Master Zhou is really good at predicting things, what can't be hidden from you, Mr. Zhou, there are indeed some..."

"Something? You can say it boldly." Zhou Xiaosu shyly touched his belly twice: "It's nothing more than salt and iron ore. Can you still fly to the sky?"

Han Mochu pretended to be surprised, unfolded the folding fan to cover his slightly parted lips, and said, "My lord, be careful that there are ears on the partition here."

"Fortunately, you still walked through the customs and have seen the big world." Zhou Xiaosu drank a cup of wine and got dizzy, and took the opportunity to wrap his arms around Han Mochu's shoulders: "This Wujiang County is all my territory. What are you afraid of?"

Han Mochu moved two inches to the side calmly, closed the folding fan in his hand, and said in a low voice: "In this case, I won't go around in circles. I do have a business in the pass, but I will do it after the new emperor ascends the throne last year. No way, after all, it is at the feet of the emperor."

"Oh? Brother Xian, tell me what kind of business it is?"

"Salt." Han Mochu said a word mysteriously.

"Tch, what should I be?! After all, it's salt." Zhou Xiaosu took a bite of food disapprovingly: "Just say that on the Jiangnan Salt Road, my Zhou family has never been afraid of anyone."

"In fact, the next morning, I heard that the Jiangnan Salt Road is profitable. I heard that the Jiangnan Salt and Food Road has always been run by the Jin family. Right now, the Jin family is the royal family, and the daughter of the Jin family who married in the early years heard that now But she is the adoptive mother of the Son of Heaven, so I just want to wait and see." Han Mochu raised his wrist and poured a cup for Zhou Xiaosu: "I don't want Master Zhou to have your eyes, but I'll teach you to see it."

"What do you have to worry about? The Jin family looks like a big business, but it's actually an idiot." Zhou Xiaosu drank a cup into his stomach, wiped his lips and said: "His Jin family has been in charge of salt and grain since the previous dynasty. What’s wrong with Taoism? There are too many officials on Jiangnan Road with salt, 53 continents in the south of the Yangtze River, 350 counties, which official has not touched salt and grain? The emperor wants to kill him? Can he kill them all?”

"Yes, yes, Master Zhou, what you said is true." Han Mochu poured another cup for Zhou Xiaosu while speaking: "However, the business I am handling is a bit big. If it does well in the future, it will not only be about salt Yes. I just came to Jiangnan for the first time, and I only know you, Mr. Zhou. This way is not clear, and I am afraid that I will take a detour."

"What are you afraid of? Isn't it enough to know this official alone? If you are doing business, it is really big enough, not to mention my father, the Wujiang county magistrate, Li Qianhe, the prefect of Suzhou, and Song Guangping, the governor of Jiangnan, can help you."

"This... the governor can also see it? Then I really took advantage of it."

"Of course." Zhou Xiaosu patted his chest: "But brother, you must first tell me what your business is, so that I can introduce you to you."

"The salt road here is not the right one, but it comes from Fusang. Fusang is surrounded by the sea and the salt production methods are well developed. Compared with the well salt and rock salt that circulate in Dazhou, the sea salt produced in Fusang is [-]% cheaper even if you calculate the shipping cost by sea. It’s just that there are not many people who know how to sell it.”

"Fusang sea salt? Have you never heard of this before? How's the profit?" Zhou Xiaosu held a cup and asked curiously: "My dear brother, don't be a fool."

"This Fusang sea salt is very profitable, and not many people know about it. A few years ago, the Linjiang Navy brought back a batch when it went to Goguryeo, and it was originally distributed to the soldiers. My father knew that the Linjiang Navy had One of the generals in the village gave some privately, and the mansion tried to sell it when they couldn’t finish it, and the market was very good. Later, my father opened two small merchant ships, and went to Fusang under the banner of selling medicines, and entered salt and passed through Guangzhou. During the Fusang period, I changed the land route to travel, which was concealed and safe. Now the market in the pass, a bucket of Fusang sea salt can earn 8000 yuan, and this trip can bring back at least [-] shi. Rough calculations, one trip That's [-] taels." Han Mochu said calmly: "At present, there are only two boats in my family, and the cargo is not enough. If I pull more, I'm afraid I can earn more."

"Twenty-eight thousand taels? One trip?" Zhou Xiaosu, who had always boasted that he had eaten and seen before, lost his composure in an instant, and hurriedly poured a glass of wine for Han Mochu: "My dear brother, how can you have such a business?" Do you have to say it?!"

"Before I was afraid to bother Mr. Zhou, and I was afraid that Mr. Zhou would be like those hard-hearted people on Huainan Road. He would be unrepentant." Han Mochu said frankly: "I didn't know that I fell in love with you so much."

"My dear brother... oh no...Second Master Qian, how long will it take for us to start this business?" Master Zhou, with his eyes high above his head, completely surrendered Han Mochu, the Living God of Wealth, at this very moment. up.

"Master Zhou, you are welcome. This business will definitely benefit from you. Just one thing. You have to go back and talk to your father. After all, there are many connections on the way."

***

On that day, Han Mochu, the God of Wealth, really became the guest of honor at the Zhou family's father and son's residence.

The Patriarch of the Zhou family, Zhou Xin, is also greedy. He heard what Zhou Xiaosu said that day when he went back to the house to learn his tongue, and on the other hand, Zhou Xiaosu took back the valuable filial piety from the house in the past few days, and let the flow take its course. I believe in this way of making money that I said.Coupled with Han Mochu's naturally amiable appearance and extremely deceptive speech and behavior, after a family banquet, not only those fat fish who can get through the door with money from the local officials, and even The urge to give Han Mochu his niece as a flat wife.

When Han Mochu argued that his original partner was fierce and he was afraid that the girl would be wronged as an excuse, he inexplicably thought of Gu Xiu's face that was three feet apart and should not be approached by strangers.

So much so that when they returned to the small courtyard where they temporarily lived with Su Che, they always laughed out loud from time to time.

"Han Ziran, what's wrong with you? It's been like this ever since you came back from the two fish mansions. Is there anything in that mansion that you can never forget with a smile?" Su Che, who was cooking tea, looked at Han Mochu's smiling face with disgust. , The white hair on the back was covered with layer after layer: "Or, did they drug you?"

"Stop talking nonsense, help me get some pens and paper." Han Mochu's heart sank and he dismissed his Fang Chang's gaffe, no wonder he thought of Gu Xiu, he hadn't seen Gu Xiu for nearly two months, I don't know how he is doing in southern Xinjiang.These years of being inseparable made him and Gu Xiu seem to have two lines in their hearts, even though they are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, they are still connected by this line, thinking of each other.

"Yes, yes, the villain is going to get a pen and paper for Mr. Han." Su Che pouted, raised his chin, and muttered as he walked with his sleeves in his hands: "Really, people say that if you are rich, don't forget each other. Now that you are an extremely human minister, you treat your childhood sweetheart as a servant. It's really a declining world, and people's hearts are not old."

"Su Changru." Han Mochu leaned his head on his forehead and curled his lips, "Where did you read this book when you were young? Is the word childhood sweetheart so used?"

Su Che angrily smashed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table in front of the person: "You don't care how I use it? Anyway, that's what it means. How many chicken legs have you eaten from me? Have I ever cared about you? You You don’t even call out as a big brother, you only bully me every day, and it’s a pity that I ran out to accompany you through life and death, do you believe it or not, I’m going back to Beijing now to ignore you?”

"Brother? I never called you that when I was a child." Han Mochu covered his lips and smiled: "If you really want to hear it, then I will."

"Call, I'm listening." Su Che puffed out his chest and prepared to raise his eyebrows.

"Big brother, good big brother."

"Hey, that makes sense." Su Che was satisfied with these two words: "Tell me what's the matter?"

"Grind ink for me." Han Mochu lowered his eyebrows, and knocked on the inkstone at hand as a matter of course.

"Come on, lord Han." Su Che rolled his eyes upwards, accepting his fate to be a book boy for Han Mochu.

Han Mochu cut out a three-inch piece of paper, picked up the brush and dotted the names of the people who got out of the mouths of Zhou's father and son today, among which he put those who had doubts when he checked the officials' performance examinations at the beginning of the year. The names of the officials are all marked with horizontal lines.Not long after, fifty people's names were written densely on a small inch-long piece of paper.

Han Mochu dragged the small piece of paper to dry the ink, then took out the token that Gu Xiu gave him before leaving, and handed the paper and token to Su Che Said: "Chang Ru, I want to entrust you with something."

"What's the matter?" Su Che couldn't help being puzzled after receiving the two items.

"The appearance of you and me was too abrupt. The matter of Fusang Haiyan can scare small officials like Zhou's father and son, but it can't scare people like the governor of the state capital. Today's family banquet will spread throughout the whole country within five days. In Suzhou Mansion, within half a month, the entire Jiangnan Road will be spread, and by then all our previous efforts will be in vain." Han Mochu patted Su Che on the shoulder: "So, I want you to pretend that something is going on at home, and leave tomorrow morning. Say goodbye to Zhou Xiaosu. Take this note and token to find General Meng Fan in Bai Ze's army. Take control of the officials on the note that I have strangled."

"Hiss..." Su Che grabbed the two hot potatoes and scratched his head: "I'm going to look for someone, what about you?"

"I'll stay and deal with them for a few more days. When I get the evidence, the case will go smoothly."

"But as you said just now, they will know that you lied to them in a few days. How can you get away then? Why don't you go with me and send this list to Yushitai for the Third Division to thoroughly investigate That's it."

"Yushitai?" Han Mochu shook his head lightly, "Looking at how confident Zhou's father and son are, do you think officials in Beijing are clean?"

"However, this is still too dangerous. They don't know who you are, if there is really a crazy person..."

"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion." Han Mochu didn't give Su Che a chance to continue.

"Proper measure, your measure is to walk on the edge of a knife without breaking the sole of your foot!" Su Che angrily stuffed the token and paper into his arms, and said seriously: "Don't forget, your foot is flesh! Long, people are also fleshy."

The author has something to say:

Gu Mengmeng: "Speaking of Master, why did you think of me when you said that the original spouse was jealous?"

Master: "When you were young, you even ate my quilt, let alone a person?"

Gu Mengmeng: "I'm not, I don't, you talk nonsense."

Master: "Then I will sleep with my arms around the quilt from today on."
