Huo's back garden.
The head of the Huo family, Huo Xi, punched in the yard and sweated a little.
He took a hot towel from the maid standing beside him and wiped his face, looked at Huo Chuanming and asked:
"Have all the gifts needed for the trip to Jiangnan and Pingjiang been arranged?"
"Back to my uncle, I have prepared everything. Among them, I took out an object sent by my second brother from Kyoto, which is the Glazed Realm that was gifted by His Highness the Crown Prince."
"My nephew is thinking that the Cao family in Jiangnan is also a famous family after all, especially Mrs. Cao, who even served as the emperor's nanny in the palace. The Cao family's imperial favor is so great that the gifts sent by our Huo family must be packed at the bottom of the box. It’s something that’s good.”
"Well, you are thoughtful, then take the coral given by His Highness the Crown Prince with you."
"...Here, uncle, that square coral is your favorite thing."
"It doesn't matter. As long as the marriage proposal goes smoothly, these things don't matter."
"good."
Huo Xi handed the towel to the maid and asked, "Has Duke Cheng Guo left Guangling City?"
"Left yesterday."
"Oh, then wait for another ten days... until the eyes of Zhongli Mansion fade away from that silly boy from the Li family."
"Okay, I just went to look for me last night when I returned home."
"What does he want from you?"
"He said that he met Li Chen'an at Ningxiang Pavilion last night, and he wanted to take someone to Li Chen'an's tavern today to get the brewing method."
Huo Xi pondered for a moment and shook his head, "You don't need to do this in person."
"Tell Zigui and I'll wait for him in the dining room."
"In addition, the trip to Pingjiang is the most important thing at the moment. Arrange the carriage of the entourage. I will take the companion with me to Pingjiang tomorrow."
"Okay, let's leave the matter of the brewing method to my nephew."
"Well, tell me what you are going to do?"
"My nephew borrows the help of the Fish and Dragon Society."
"Good idea! Tell Song Yuanping that after the Huo family obtains the Huapingchun wine-making method, 70% of the profits will go to the Prime Minister, and 10% will be given to Song Yuanping. My Huo family... only needs 20%!"
Huo Chuanming was shocked, "Is this too much?"
Horsey smiled slightly: "Just do as I say."
"My nephew understands."
Huo Chuanming left the back garden, and Huo Xi stood in the drizzle.
He looked up at the sky and murmured: "It would be better to change earlier this day!"
…
…
Li Chenan didn't go out all morning.
Because Zhongli Ruoshui came with Jianwu early in the morning.
Of course she was still riding in the carriage, and the driver was still Wu Xichen wearing a bamboo hat.
It's just that Wu Xichen's bamboo hat was pulled lower today, and he refused when Zhongli Ruoshui invited him to sit in the backyard.
Perhaps Teacher Wu and Li Chenan were a little tired last night.
Zhongli Ruoshui saw Murong He when she entered the tavern. She felt a little weird because she had never seen this girl before.
However, after Li Chenan quietly explained it to her, she felt relieved and even smiled, thinking that it would bring about good things between Su Muxin and that girl Murong. In this way, Su Muxin would have a female hero watching her, and he might be I don’t dare to go to a brothel anymore.
If he didn't go to the brothel, he wouldn't lead Li Chenan into trouble.
So, she began to look forward to Su Muxin's arrival.
Of course, the important thing at this time was not this, but the stack of investment plans that Li Chenan placed in front of her.
When she saw it, she felt a little headache, because the third lady of Zhongli Mansion never liked to use her brain.
So she flipped through it hastily. What Li Chenan spent an hour writing, she finished in just ten breaths.
"That's it, just like what you wrote!"
"When are you going to see the land? The money will be transferred to your account at the Blessing Bank soon."
Li Chenan was shocked. This is probably the most bold investor in history!
"Ruoruo, you have to think clearly, you are the only investor in the Huapingchun project!"
"According to the plan, you need to come up with ten thousand taels of silver at once! And fifty acres of land!"
"It takes about half a year to complete the construction of the workshop, and it will take at least three months to put the workshop into operation and generate benefits!"
"In the future, the profits generated by Huapingchun will continue to be invested in market channels. In other words, it will take roughly two years for you to recover this investment and get the money from the land transfer!"
"Are you really not worried?"
Zhongli Ruoshui smiled and said, "Anyway, I'll leave this matter to you. If you mess up, you'll mess up. If you're short of money, just tell me again. I won't care about anything else."
"……All right."
What can you say to such a good investor?
I can only defraud the money and people together!
"Didn't you say that the Huo family is going to trouble you today?"
"You know this too?"
"Well, I'm pretty well informed."
"It's still early, I think it will come soon."
"When I get here, I'll ask Jianwu to break Huo Zigui's legs! But we can't throw him into the Huaping Lake, and it won't be good if he loses his life."
Li Chenan looked at Zhongli Ruoshui, who blushed, and said with some embarrassment: "Actually, I don't like to fight and kill, but didn't I invest so much money? Of course Huo Pingchun's method cannot be used by the Huo family It was snatched away."
This truth is impeccable.
It was just the first time that Li Chenan began to doubt the identity of this third lady.
Liu Zuo said that the Huo family still had some influence in the court, and the general judge of Guangling City was a member of the Huo family.
Ning Guotong sentenced this official to be somewhat special.
His position was under the prefect, and he was in charge of grain transportation, farmland, water conservancy, and litigation in a state. Although he was responsible to the prefect, he also had the responsibility of supervising the prefect.
Therefore, the power of a state to pass judgment is very great.
But the third lady casually said that she wanted to break Huo Zigui's legs... There were not many people in Guangling City who were not afraid of the power of others. If Zhong Ruoruo's family was just a landlord, then they were obviously not among them.
She used to be with that handsome father-in-law... so the real power of her family is in Kyoto!
It even reaches the sky!
So her family's property in Guangling City is just the tip of the iceberg.
So she didn't care about those lands and the huge sum of ten thousand taels of silver!
A woman from a wealthy family!
Should I ask her if she has any brothers?
If not, should I just be a son-in-law and live in peace for the rest of my life?
Of course, this is just Li Chenan's thought.
Next, he was very serious about explaining the plan to Zhongli Ruoshui, but Zhongli Ruoshui obviously had no interest, so the explanation was abandoned halfway.
"After I break Huo Zigui's legs later, I will take you to see the place. By the way... you can also go and sit at Peach Blossom Villa. I want you to build a workshop there and live in the Villa from now on. It’s easier to do things at a closer distance, how about that?”
Li Chenan couldn't ask for it.
"Okay, we can go see the good land first, but the actual implementation will take a few days."
"Why?"
"I have a mission, and there are only eight days left."
"What mission?"
Li Chenan suddenly had an idea in his mind that this third lady knew his identity as an embroiderer, so he leaned over and whispered: "Kill someone."
"who?"
"Song Yuanping, the owner of Ningxiang Pavilion."
"oh……"
