Hu Xiancheng's misery and sadness, his wife and family are all slaves and

maids, the floor was pried open to find the hidden property, almost the same

conditions promised by the prefect were not fulfilled, and in the end it was

Zhao Guanren who spent the money. When he was buried, no relatives or friends

dared to come and worship.

"Master is back!"

Yu Niang stood in front of the gate pretty to greet her, and curiously looked

at Luo Tan in black, Zhao Guanren stepped in and said, "This is my female

guard, Luo Tan. Let the little fat girl serve her, except for my study. , She

can walk around anywhere else at will!"

"Oh! Sister Luo is good, the slave is the big girl Yuniang..."

Yu Niang laughed unsuspectingly. Luo Tan was also a woman with high emotional

intelligence, and she immediately took out a silver bracelet as a meeting

ceremony. The status of concubine in the big family is not high. Singles like

Zhao Guanren, the fifth, naturally in the house. The big girl has the highest

status.

"Master! Zhang Tiansheng has sent someone to look for it..."

Yu Niang rushed up and said: "The slave family paid him off the debt according

to your instructions and gave him the house in the east gate. Zhang Tiansheng

has already picked up the old lady in the afternoon, and the third girl has

followed him to serve him. He explained Come here again and thank you!"

"You let Sanyao stare at him. If Zhang Tiansheng dares to bet any more, I will

discount his legs..."

Zhao Guanren walked into the pavilion blankly. Hu Xiancheng's death made him a

little unhappy, and a table of sumptuous dishes had been prepared, and two fat

girls were standing there waiting to be served.

"Oh~"

Luo Tan sat on the stone bench and smiled: "I have been a errand for five

years, either serving others or taking care of myself. I can finally be a

young grandmother and be served by others!"

"Stand up! Just sit without me, know the rules..."

Zhao Guanren snorted, Luo Tan quickly jumped up in embarrassment, and

obediently walked behind him to knead his shoulders, and Zhao Guanren said:

"Yu Niang! You all go to the door and wait, and you will be the owner of the

Han's shop. Bring it here!"

"Hey!"

Yu Niang immediately took the two fat girls away, and Luo Tan asked in a low

voice, "Master! You have been swaying for a whole day. Except for the

treatment of drugs, you do not investigate the source of the drug. If Chen

Qianhu asks, how would you explain? what?"

"You don't need to talk about this, there is a white-clothed guard behind the

wall of the east courtyard, going to break his leg..."

Zhao Guanren pressed his mouth softly. Luo Tan was surprised at first. After

hesitating for a while, he took the wine flask and bowed his head to the east

courtyard. After a while, he heard the screams, and a dark shadow jumped out

of the courtyard wall embarrassingly. , And sprinkled a piece of blood in the

air.

"Master Zhao! The villain is here..."

Han Dongsheng was suddenly led by Yu Niang, just as Luo Tan walked back with a

broken arm, his face changed suddenly, but Zhao Guanren waved his hand and

smiled: "Don't be afraid! I just entered a thief, I The female guard went to

deal with it!"

"This thief is also blind, dare to steal into the adult's mansion..."

Han Dongsheng walked into the pavilion with some trepidation, Luo Tan didn't

come over when he saw this, and walked to the latrine with his broken arm.

"Treasurer Han, please sit down, let's talk while eating, and feel free to..."

Zhao Guanren poured a glass of wine for him, and smiled: "There are quite a

few salt merchants in our county, but I haven't heard of any big salt

merchants. Salt merchants should be very profitable. Do you know how they

work? "

"Ningzhou does not produce salt. Naturally, there are no big salt merchants.

The big salt merchants are all in Huaiyang..."

Han Dongsheng replied: "They stationed the court in our county and distributed

the salt to various shops. Therefore, I waited for distribution only and

couldn't make a few eldest sons, but the big salt merchants were responsible

for transporting the grain to the border. The Salt Bureau got the salt, and

ordinary merchants don't have such skills!"

"Come on! Let's have a drink first and eat a few more bites..."

Zhao Guanren held up the wine glass and drank with him. After eating a few

peanuts, he asked, "If I want to buy the entire salt of Ningzhou Prefecture,

regardless of the thickness, how much money will it cost?"

"this……"

Han Dongsheng hesitated: "At present, the purchase price is 45 yuan for a

catty of coarse salt, and a catty of fine salt is 120 yuan. How can the whole

county have 200,000 catties? The salt is worth more than ten thousand taels of

silver, and the villain in the state capital really can't figure it out!"

"Tsk tut~"

Zhao Guanren said, "This salt is really expensive. No wonder the salt

merchants are rich in wealth. How many days does it take to transport salt

from Huaiyang, and how many people sell it?"

"Sir, do you want to investigate the illegal salt?"

Han Dongsheng said: "Huaiyang is not far from our place, but the salt cart is

big and slow. It usually takes six or seven days to go for a trip. Private

salt is also available, but you don’t dare to sell it blatantly in the city.

They were all sold secretly in the village, and the yamen's investigations are

very strict!"

"Go and help me with things and collect the salt from Ningzhou Mansion..."

Zhao Guanren smiled and said, "You go to the Yan Shang Chao Feng and tell me

that I have ordered a large number of salt to cure the corpse plague from you.

I'll get it, and I must buy Ningzhou Mansion and Lantai County!"

"grown ups!"

Han Dongsheng is worthy of being a businessman, he immediately recollected,

and said nervously: "You, are you trying to drive up the salt price? This is

the crime of beheading!"

"Bullshit! How could this official drive up the price of salt? Salt is needed

to cure the corpse plague..."

Zhao Guanren waved his hand and said: "If the government collects salt

publicly, the price of salt will definitely follow the skyrocketing. By then,

it will be the common people. I ask you to collect salt to stabilize the salt

price. If you rent more warehouses to store salt, you must not let it. Those

profiteers succeeded, understand?"

"Oh~"

Han Dongsheng stood up excitedly, bowed and said, "The villain has

misunderstood the adults, and the adults are really good officials who make

decisions for the people, please be respected by the villains!"

"Sit! I think you are a real person, so I entrust you to handle this

matter..."

Zhao Guanren pressed his hand and smiled: "But I can't let you work in vain. I

borrowed you five thousand taels of principal. You go to run two workshops,

one for working with gas masks and gloves, and the other for rock sugar and

alcohol. I'll give you the drawing later!"

"Uh~"

Han Dongsheng said with a dazed expression: "The masks and gloves are known to

the villain, but what are rock candy and alcohol?"

"You can do it, I will save you a lot of money..."

Zhao Guanren said: "I have written all these things in the booklet. There is

also a kind of medical gauze and plaster. These are good things for healing

and saving people. By the way! Is gunpowder regulated? Are there workshops

that produce guns in the county? "

"The muskets are old antiques, and the craftsmanship is lost..."

Han Dongsheng waved his hand and said: "Since profound energy began to spread,

the muskets have no effect on the battlefield. Only iron cannons can be used

to defend the city, but the gunpowder is still not to be used privately,

otherwise it will blow up the fire and bring neighbors. Workshop!"

"So..."

Zhao Guanren nodded and said, "You introduce me to a reliable blacksmith shop.

The technology is good and the people are real. Then you go to hire a few more

guys, and you must be willing to spend money on big business, as long as you

do well. , I guarantee that the richest man in Lantai in the future will be

you!"

...

Zhao Guanren chatted with Han Dongsheng until nine o'clock in the evening, and

the blood boiled over for Han Dongsheng. He put away a pile of drawings and

ran away on a little donkey like a thief. He even had tens of thousands of

taels worth of cash in his pocket.

"Master! Concubine is waiting for you to wash..."

As soon as Zhao Guanren walked into the bedroom, Luo Tan coquettishly greeted

her. She put on a pink gauze, with only a big red mandarin duck belly and a

pair of white trousers. Her long hair was also scattered. The bird looks like

a human.

"Sister Luo just wash herself clean, Master doesn't have to worry about

you..."

Yu Niang rushed in from the outside, her eyes were fierce as if she wanted to

eat people. The subtext is clearly that you can do whatever you want, but the

young master can only take care of her daily life.

"Hehe~ OK! I won't grab it with you, big girl..."

Luo Tan smiled softly and yelled at the outside: "Fat girl! Come and wait for

me to wash, take a good soap, and the fragrance is good, the master is only

comfortable with it!"

"Got it! Aunt Luo..." The fat girl ran in with her stuff. There is a large

screen in the bedroom. It is convenient to wash and operate behind the screen.

Indecent things will not be seen by Zhao Guanren.

"Tan'er! I asked you to break your leg, why did you chop someone's hand..."

Zhao Guanren sat on the chair and raised his leg. Yu Niang helped him take off

his shoes and socks. Luo Tan squatted behind the screen and said, "The other

party is good at it. How does the master know that he is a white guard?"

"Nonsense! Except for the white guard, who would dare to sneak into my house

to eavesdrop..."

Zhao Guanren peeled off a litchi and fed it to Yu Niang, and asked, "Have you

seen that mental method, how is it?"

"Oh~ you lighten it, and you brush the pigskin..."

Luo Tan cursed in anger, and then said: "Go back to the master! I saw it, that

exercise is rare among the people, but Dashun can only be regarded as second-

rate, not as good as Heiyiwei's library of books. Woolen cloth!"

"Have you ever heard of a practice called "Thunderbolt and Thunder Killing

You"..."

Zhao Guanren suddenly remembered Zhao Ziqiang’s unique skills. When he got the

jade tube of the exercises, he glanced at the title and the beginning. The

opening part was bragging and pushing the vernacular. If it weren’t for Zhao

Ziqiang’s need to lie to him, he must have thought That guy is pitting himself

again.

"Of course I know, one of the four banned books in this dynasty..."

Luo Tan walked out carrying the trousers, and said with a smile: "That

exercise is a joke. The first three stages are really different, but you can't

practice it later. If one is not good, the dantian will burst and die, and it

could be killed back then. A lot of people!"

"Where can I see it? I would like to see and know..."

Zhao Guanren was full of suspicions, and even if Zhao Ziqiang was hateful, he

would not deliberately kill himself.

"Go to the yamen and ask, every year banned books are confiscated..."

Luo Tan got into the bed and pulled out a white gauze scarf. After laying it

carefully in the center of the bed, Luo Tan climbed onto the bed and lay down

a little shyly, posing a charming appearance that was picked by you.

Upon seeing this, Yu Niang also begged: "Master! The slave family wants to

sleep in tonight, okay?"

‘Let’s find the exercise tomorrow and see what went wrong...’

As soon as Zhao Guanren's eyeballs turned, he became concerned. After washing

his face casually, he got up and said: "Yu Niang! Go and wash up. I will give

your Aunt Luo your pajamas first, and call you after you score twice!"

"Hey! Master Xie..."

Yu Niang stood up in surprise and stared, "Auntie Luo! We are a big family,

you should understand the rules, what are you doing while lying down?"

"Understood! How can I not understand..."

Luo Tan jumped down and helped Zhao Guanren onto the bed, and knelt on the

side of the bed, and shouted: "My wife Zhao Luo has seen his husband, and my

wife is willing to serve the master for life, open branches and leaves for the

Zhao family, extend the heirs, and hope for the master. Have a lot of

affection!"

"Get up! From now on, you are a member of my Zhao family and death is the

ghost of my Zhao family, understand..."

Zhao Guanren was leaning against the bed with a shelf. Luo Tan was in awe of

him. He climbed onto the bed with a blushing face, and leaned down and kissed

him twice before daring to crawl to his chest in shame.

‘Nima! Chen Dezhi...’

Zhao Guanren shuddered suddenly, he unexpectedly found that Chen Dezhi had

jumped on the roof and was quietly lifting a tile to take a peek.

It seems that Chen Qianhu is not at ease with Luo Tan and comes over to

supervise him personally, but the black clothes guard fooling around with his

partner is a taboo.

"All right!"

Zhao Guanren hurriedly pushed Luo Tan away and said with a wink, "Don't act

again when everyone is gone. You can go to Xiaota to sleep. Don't break the

rules!"

"Oh, don't let the servants come in next time, it will be so troublesome to

sleep..."

Luo Tan complained cleverly, and quickly climbed onto the small couch to turn

off the lights and sleep. Chen Dezhi cat left secretly after a while. If it

weren't for Zhao Guanren's soul-chasing eyes, this guy would not let anyone

notice it.

"People are gone, come over and give the master a foot first..."

"Hee hee~ Coming..."
