Chapter 46 Retiring Behind the Scenes
"Is it really tuberculosis?"
Liu Jiyuan closed his eyes on the dragon chair, and Wei Degui, who approached with his light feet, was so shocked that he knelt down. "I deserve to die, disturbing the holy rest."
"It doesn't matter. You have been with me for so many years, and you are still so formal." Liu Jiyuan waved his hand, opened his eyes and sighed, "Is it as they said?"
"Don't hurt your body. The reply from the imperial hospital is indeed like this. I have asked Dr. Zhang to treat him carefully."
"Alas..."
Liu Jiyuan sighed, didn't say anything, and closed his eyes again.
The tuberculosis made Liu Yanzhao's first face-to-face pass through without danger. Qinxun Yiwei Yulin Lang would not be able to do it, and Qilang also wrote to the court not go to the camp for the time being in the name of taking care of his brother.
In this way, the two sons of the Liu family have become people with false positions. Naturally, many people feel sorry for them, but only a few people are visiting.
Except for the three people in the letter sent by Liu Jiye before leaving, no one else came. In this way, it was a pure one.
So Liu Yanzhao usually closes the door and goes out. Occasionally, his face must be pale, he can't help coughing, his body is haggard, and some people even see him bleeding.
For a while, how long can the sixth son of the Liu family live to become a chatter and laughter of the courtiers in Jinyang City. A young and talented young hero suddenly became something to please others.
However, this is also the result that Liu Yanzhao wanted. The more he was looked down on, the more beneficial it was to him. He wiped off the gouache on his face, washed and put it on, and then secretly went to meet Du Quan.
To say that Du Quan is really bold, he actually handed over Lan Guizhai in Daizhou City to take care of his servants and came to Jinyang City in person to start again. With such courage, Liu Yanzhao had to admire him a little.
So, in the quiet, there is a new place in Jinyang City. Not only the prince who eats, drinks and plays, but also the elegant literati Moke, who has put the word 'Languizhai' on his mouth.
But the tree is easy to attract the wind, and the limelight of Lan Guizhai is infinite, which naturally attracts the covetedness of countless people, and there is no backer behind Lan Guizhai, so the idle officials, the corrupt officials who are addicted to money, and even the figures of the relatives of the emperor are mixed in it.
At the critical moment, Princess Biyue, who had always been favored by Liu Jiyuan, suddenly appeared in Lan Guizhai and became a frequent guest. Since then, Shopkeeper Du has had a lot less trouble.
"The little general is really clever. He let Princess Biyue block those Xiaoxiao, but her deep questioning also gives the old man a headache!"
In the room, Du Quan smiled bitterly at Liu Yanzhao and secretly attracted Princess Biyue with novel toys, but he was also bitterly by the doubts constantly created by the latter.
The novel things can be prevaricate brought back from overseas by Liu Yanzhao, but the little girl is interested in overseas again. How can he talk about it?
"Is the shopkeeper Du resentful of Yan Zhao?"
Liu Yanzhao on one side put down the tea cup in his hand and squeaked his lips. There's nothing we can do. At present, only she can keep our Lan Guizhai, otherwise how can there be a hand cramps in your hand counting the money?"
Hearing this, Du Quan smiled. It is indeed like this. Lan Guizhai's business is at its best, which can be regarded as a daily rise. For any businessman, it is a dream.
After a few words of joke, Du Quan coughed twice, and his expression became serious. "Little general, I really encountered a new problem by sending someone to invite you tonight. I'm afraid only you can solve it."
"I also heard some wind about this. Those little ghosts in Biyue Princess Town are more than enough, but they can't work for some people."
No matter how good Languizhai's business is, the more rare it is, but it still needs raw materials to be made. At this time, as long as someone breaks Du Quan's raw materials, it is equivalent to hitting the key point of Languizhai.
"Now there is not much stock in the store, and our scheduled business has also been sold out. Now we have squeezed a lot of buyer's orders. If we can't deliver anything at that time, Languizhai's brand will..."
The businessman is looking for profit, but the more thoroughly the businessman is, the more he understands the importance of the reputation of the store. Therefore, Du Quan took the risk of sending people to invite Liu Yanzhao to do business.
With his lips curled, Liu Yanzhao frowned and meditated. Through the news of the poisonous scorpion investigation, he could roughly guess that the person who took action was the son of Ma Feng, Ma Lan.
As for whether Ma Lan was instructed by Ma Feng, it can't be seen, but whether there is the consent of the former or not, the position of the prime minister of the left shooting servant alone is enough to kill all the material sources of Lan Guizhai in the Northern Han Dynasty.
Seeing that Liu Yanzhao was meditating, Du Quan stopped talking, afraid of disturbing his thoughts, but he stared at him and waited for a good plan.
"If this matter is to be solved, shopkeeper Du has to give up some money."
For a long time, Liu Yanzhao spit out such a sentence, which made Du Quan, who had been waiting, overjoyed. "What do you think of the little general? As long as you can guard Lan Guizhai and give up some silver, what's nothing?"
"This is not a small amount. Maybe you have to spend a few of the income of Languizhai."
What is the income of Lan Guizhai?
Hearing this sentence, Du Quan couldn't help but change his face. He clearly knew that Lan Guizhai's income, even if it was 10, had 10,000 taels of silver a month.
"I don't know if there are accurate numbers of what the little general said?"
When talking about business at the beginning, the two were divided into six or four parts. Although Du Quan came to Jinyang for other purposes, when he dated Liu Yanzhao, he was just a businessman. In business, he could not be suspected.
"In terms of current income, it needs 20%, but it does not rule out that the other party makes a bid. Of course, this also depends on the ability of shopkeeper Du to bargain."
20%, Du Quan could still accept it. Suddenly, he was relieved, "Little general, don't talk to the old man quickly!"
"What we have to do is to spend money and buy the name of a royal merchant."
"Imperial businessman?"
Du Quan looked puzzled and said for a while, "Does the little general mean to deal with the Liu Han royal family?"
Nodding his head, Liu Yanzhao answered, "Ma Feng is spoiled, but if he forgets who is the master of the court, he is complacent. Manager Du can inadvertently mention this matter when talking to Princess Biyue, and she will definitely intervene according to her nature.
"Of course, you can't put all the chips on Princess Biyue. Concubine Yun is the most favored now. Her father and brother are both officials in the court. Manager Du can't enter the harem, so he can win them over."
"Wonderful!"
Du Quan couldn't help praising, "The little general is really witty. In this way, after Lan Guizhai became an imperial merchant, even if Ma Feng wanted to dye his finger, he had to think about it."
"There is another person, Shopkeeper Du, who can also dredge and dredge. Wang Lun, the inner attendant, I have met him a few times. When the time is convenient, I will introduce you to meet you, so that I can also have more people who speak in front of the Holy Lord."
Liu Yanzhao, who constantly praised Du Quan, just smiled gently and used Liu Jiyuan to Baolan Guizhai. It was just a superficial statement. In fact, he had other plans.
Over the past few months, he can easily see that Ma Feng is favored and arrogant, his power is expanding, and his ambition is getting bigger and bigger, but now he must not dare to come forward to rebel.
Therefore, Ma Feng is likely to start with other things, such as Lan Guizhai tied to Liu Jiyuan's body and detect the latter's tolerance step by step.
Once the king and minister's struggle for power has passed a balance point, it will be out of control, and this is exactly what Liu Yanzhao wants. It just implicated Lan Guizhai, which is really a little unbearable.
"Did he really say that?"
In the room, the girl was dressed in white, and Du Quan stood down and nodded immediately when he heard the question, "Yes, little master, I have nothing to hide."
After saying that, the shopkeeper Du looked up at the green beads in yellow shirt not far away. He hesitated for a moment and finally clenched his fist. "Little master, you are the body of a daughter. This dangerous place should not last long. Please turn back to my court..."
As usual, before he finished speaking, he was stopped. "There is no need to mention this matter. I have made up my mind that I will not leave here. As for the matter of Lan Guizhai, I will follow what he said."
Du Quan wanted to say something else, but the girl in white had decided to turn her head, and the green bead on one side also blinked and hinted, and could only swallow the words back to her stomach and leave.
After Du Quan left, the soft voice rose again, "Lvzhu, go and call Brother Fang's men."
"Yes, young master."
Get up and walk to the bronze mirror, showing an amazing sneer, "Bring Lan Guizhai and Liu Jiyuan together, Jun vs. Minister, since you want to light a fire, I will give you a fire, and let me see your obstinate little abacus!"
