"That's right, who are you looking for?" As soon as Mr. Dong saw that the clothes of these two people were consistent with Zhou Rushuang's description, he guessed that they were probably descendants of the Bai and Meng families.
Before Bai Jingtao could speak, Meng Zhiyuan said, "Who are you? As far as I know, Zhao Cheng should only have him and his wife in his family, right?"
"I'm Dong Qiye."
"It turns out to be Mr. Dongfang!" Meng Zhiyuan called out Mr. Dong's real name.
"I am Meng Zhiyuan, my ancestor, the defense envoy of the Changqing Army, General Huaihua."
Mr. Dong nodded and thought to himself: "It turns out he is Meng Chan's grandson."
The five Meng brothers all served in the army. Because they were the hidden clues left by King Lu, they were not affected. After the Three Kings Rebellion was put down, all five Meng brothers were promoted, the most notable of which is Meng Chan went all the way from Shuzhou to Chongfu soldiers and horses to his current position.
Meng Zhiyuan pointed at Bai Jingtao again and said, "This is Bai Jingtao, the queen of Dongge University Scholar Bai Gong."
Mr. Dong knew that the white talisman was also a secret chess piece left by King Lu.
When King Lu was at the height of his power, Bai Shenfu wrote a letter directly criticizing "treacherous ministers who want to steal the throne and build cliques to swarm themselves. As expected, Tian Chengzi, once he kills the king of Qi," he was suppressed by King Lu and was dismissed from office for a time, leaving him idle at home.
After the Three Kings Rebellion was settled, the White Talisman was revived and soared into the sky. In just a few years, his official position was promoted to Prince Sheren, Chaoyi Dafu, which can be said to be prestigious.
Since the identity of the two people was confirmed to be correct, Mr. Dong invited them into the hospital.
"If I guess correctly, the old gentleman should be General Mingwei, right?"
Mr. Dong did not hide it, and admitted openly and openly: "Yes, I am Dongfang Qiye, the commander of Xiaoguo Guard Qingche."
Bai Jingtao and Meng Zhiyuan looked at each other and saw joy in each other's eyes.
Although King Lu failed and fourteen years had passed since the Three Kings Rebellion was put down, there was always an undercurrent surging in the court, like an invisible hand turning the clouds and rain.
Even though the Bai family and Meng family were in high positions, they still felt extremely uneasy. In addition, they were already responsible for the legacy of King Lu, and even the juniors like Bai Jingtao and Meng Zhiyuan felt even more pressure.
Now that I have seen Dongfang Qiye, I feel a lot more at ease.
The famous General Mingwei once led an army of 10,000 to defeat an enemy army of 150,000 in Guzheng Tower, and led an army of 7,000 to defeat a camp of 100,000 in Qucheng. He beheaded Tang Xun in formation, and for a time he became famous and unparalleled in the limelight. .
According to the imperial newspaper, Dongfang Qiye had burned himself on Baijiang Temple along with King Lu, and was defeated and died. Unexpectedly, he was still alive and seemed to have been protecting the princess.
Bai Jingtao said: "General Dongfang, let me tell you the truth, we are here to take the princess back."
Mr. Dong nodded and said: "Before you came, I had already persuaded the princess, and the princess had already made a decision to go back with you."
Ever since Bai and Meng came to the door, Zhou Rushuang knew that they must be here to pick him up.
Moreover, even if they did not plan to pick her up, she would have to leave here and leave Zhao Cheng's side, lest her identity be leaked and Zhao Cheng be implicated.
At this time, she opened the door and walked into the courtyard. Bai Jingtao and Meng Zhiyuan both greeted her.
Zhou Rushuang sighed softly: "Let's go."
It wasn't until night fell that Zhao Cheng walked back from the warehouse in the south of the city.
After having a meal with Zheng Yucheng at Dashunzhai at noon, he could clearly feel that Mr. Zheng's attitude towards him was much closer, and there were many unique features in his explanation of the scriptures that made him appreciate the scriptures. The understanding of justice is even closer.
After seeing off Zheng Yucheng, Zhao Cheng went to the warehouse in the south of the city. The weather was getting colder these days, and the efficiency of producing MSG had dropped a lot, especially the fermentation process, which was more than twice as slow as usual.
Fortunately, more than a dozen barbarians are very hardworking and willing to work hard. Although the production of MSG has slowed down, the quality has not deteriorated, but is better than before. Now each tank can produce half a catty more than before. Added up, the total output is not Not much lower.
Zhao Cheng transported all the MSG produced by truck and left some silver coins for these barbarians for daily expenses. Then he walked slowly home along the Qingshui River alone.
While walking, I felt the bustle of the shops facing the river. Even when the lanterns were first lit, it was still very lively, with people coming and going on the streets and the sounds of vendors singing and selling in an endless stream.
Zhao Cheng felt the cold wind of the winter moon blowing on his face, which just took away some of the heat after drinking. The robe Zhou Rushuang sewed for him was indeed very warm, so much so that he had to pull open the collar. Some, to let the cool breeze in.
Now the production of MSG has stabilized, and these barbarians are working very hard. If we calculate based on the price of two hundred taels of silver per two kilograms of Dashunzhai, he has already earned several thousand taels of silver.
The MSG produced now is enough to supply the daily use of two restaurants. The next step is to open another Dashunzhai branch in the south of the city. The two restaurants, one in the south and one in the north, can cover the restaurant consumption in this county.
At that time, he should have enough money to continue opening a restaurant in the state capital, and then use this model to spend money, open a restaurant, and fight his way through.
If nothing else happens, in just three to five years, we will be able to rival the country with this wealth.
Of course, Zhao Cheng also knows that things will never be that simple. He has not yet opened a branch, and he has already felt the threat of Mr. Hong. In the future, he will not be able to enter the state capital, or even go to Beijing, without any obstacles. The resistance he encounters, It's only going to get bigger.
In Qinghe County, those who control the most prosperous restaurants are the most powerful people in the county. So what about in Shangjing? Presumably the worst is the power within the prime minister's family, right? It might even be the princess or the prince.
So some things can only be thought about. MSG was just something Zhao Cheng did in order to get rid of the initial predicament. Now that he has capital, he can fight in the business world like he did in his previous life, turn his skills around, and overturn everything. Hands for rain.
But Zhao Cheng has decided to take another path. Although there are also flashes of swords and shadows, it is completely different.
The enthusiastic shouts of roadside vendors interrupted Zhao Cheng's thoughts. He followed the sound and saw that it was a jewelry shop. The stall owner was enthusiastically selling his jewelry to passers-by.
"This brother seems to be a young man who has achieved success at first glance. Why don't you buy some jewelry for your wife?" the stall owner said to Zhao Cheng who was passing by.
Zhao Cheng smiled slightly when he heard this and walked into the shop. He saw that the shop was filled with all kinds of gold, silver and jade ornaments. Of course, there were also ordinary copper ornaments and wooden hairpins suitable for ordinary people.
Zhao Cheng took a fancy to a pair of jade bracelets at first sight. They were definitely high-end goods, because they were what later generations would call "glass types." At this time, the counterfeiting methods of injecting glue, coating, and using glass as a fake must have not yet come out, so it should be It is undoubtedly genuine.
"Just these two bracelets, how much do they cost?"
