Take the mall to Datang

After the work plan was finished, Yuan Shan even had a chat with Duan Zhiwei.

"The matter of this investigation is related to the Ministry of Economic Development's next plan for Luoyang. Your statistics department has a heavy responsibility. It is best to inform His Royal Highness about this matter. I also hope that you can successfully complete your work in Luoyang." Yuan Shan said.

Duan Zhiwei didn't expect that Yuan Shan would tell him these things. It felt like entrusting the future of the entire economic and hair department to them. It felt good to ignore such a heavy responsibility.

The meeting was over, it was getting late and Yuan Shan was planning to go back to the Marquis Mansion, when he got to the first floor and saw Dong Cheng still talking about Journey to the West, a group of guests listened with enthusiasm.

"Master Hou, you can be regarded as appearing, and I have made people wait for a long time." The woman's soft voice will definitely make the man's ears feel numb to the bone.

"Miss Miaolian?"

Obviously Yuan Shan was a little surprised to see her here.

"Master Hou, it's been a long time since you came to Chunmanyuan Song and Dance Hall. The sisters miss you so much. I'm here today, but I'm waiting here with the expectations and sustenance of all the sisters." Miao Lian road.

"That's right, but it's a pity that I had an appointment to discuss things, so I left beforehand." Yuan Shan said directly.

This kind of straightforward refusal was expected but Miaolian couldn't think of it.

Miao Lian even wondered if her charm technique had failed. How could she have no way to deal with Yuan Shan? But she had tried it since the last time she stayed in Chunmanyuan, and she was sure that Yuan Shan was still alive. There is nothing wrong with being a man.

The point is that nothing happened to them that night. It is a bit unusual for a normal man to be able to restrain himself in the face of a woman who offered to throw herself into her arms.

Then Miaolian tried many times and failed to let the two of them have a chance to get along alone every time. Today's action was obviously in vain again.

In a restaurant near Chang'an City, a middle-aged man and an old man were drinking.

"Sir, are you sure Xiaolian can complete the task?" The middle-aged man asked with a hint of majesty in his tone.

"Han Wang, don't worry, as long as the other party is a man, there is nothing Xiao Lian can't handle." The old man said confidently.

Chapter 561 Li Yuanchang and Xiao Mingyuan

While they were talking softly, someone entered the store and saw them and said softly, "The plan failed."

The middle-aged man said slightly angrily, "What happened?"

If Yuan Shan was here, he would definitely be able to recognize this person as Chen Hua who escaped from Dali Temple, but at this time Chen Hua was disguised, just like a middle-aged man.

The old man was also very surprised at this time and immediately asked: "Did Xiaolian not succeed?"

"I don't know why Lantian Hou rejected Miaolian's invitation several times, and even the scandal created by his subordinates last time has not been explained by the other party." Chen Hua said.

"Old Xiao, it seems that this Marquis of Lantian is really a gentleman, what should we do next." The middle-aged man asked.

Even with makeup on, the man's aura and tone of voice are slightly frivolous. One can tell that this man is much younger than his current appearance. Whenever something happens, he asks the wise men around him. This may be the habit of pampering him for a long time.

"King of Han, since money cannot be given, and beauties can't impress him, the King of Han can only approach him. Isn't that how His Highness the Crown Prince met him at the beginning?" Elder Xiao said.

"It's also a way to let the king personally strengthen him, but the king has been in Liangzhou for a long time, and there is no reason to return to Beijing." Han Wang said.

"There are two ways to do this. I heard that His Royal Highness is promoting a new type of coal-burning stove recently. Liangzhou is not far from Chang'an. We can use this matter to make friends with His Royal Highness. On the other hand, the King of Han can't go back to Chang'an often, but he can make Lantian Go to Liangzhou." Xiao Lao said.

"Is it possible to let him go to Liangzhou?" King Han said.

"King of Han, didn't you just chat with someone and say that Marquis of Lantian is cooperating with Luoyang to develop business? Why can't we do what we like and take advantage of the opportunity of Liangzhou's business development to win over Yuanshan." Old Xiao said.

"That's right, just follow Xiao Lao's method." King Han said.

Seeing the governor of Liangzhou in front of him, the old man Li Yuanchang of the Han Dynasty could only smile wryly in his heart. He knew the man in front of him very well, he was very brave, but he was still far behind in terms of brains and strategies. Otherwise, he was only interested in painting and calligraphy and was not good at politics. Governor Zhou couldn't do it either.

Who is His Majesty today? The royal struggle of their Li family is very cruel. Since Li Yuanchang can serve in Liangzhou, which is so close to Chang'an, it means that the King of Han is not a threat to him, and it is precisely in this way that he can take advantage of this.

Although they had no intention of competing for the position, the princes of the Li family were most worried about their lives and their prosperity. At this time, if someone tricked them into doing something to protect themselves, it would be very simple.

"King of Han, is Lantian Hou really important? My subordinates think that this person is not willing to be soft and hard. He is an official and servant, and he controls the most money in the court besides the national treasury. Such a person is not easy to win over. How about Apart from that, it will save trouble soon, and the subordinates may have heard that this Marquis of Lantian has never been a safe person." Chen Hua said.

"No, this person can't do anything, are you trying to make things about the King of Han come to naught." Elder Xiao immediately scolded.

Chen Hua kept silent, he just thought about the problem from his point of view, of course a killer can reflect his value by killing people.

"Old Xiao is right, this person can't be moved. Didn't you also say that this person is in charge of a large amount of money besides the national treasury. If he is killed, it will not only cause an investigation by the court, but also directly lose a treasury. The law is unacceptable." Han Wang Li Yuanchang said.

Chen Hua remained silent, and Li Yuanchang continued to say: "Didn't Mr. Xiao say that we can use commercial matters to cooperate? How about leaving this matter to Zhang Yong?"

Zhang Yong is Li Yuanchang's right-hand man. He got up early and helped him start a business. When he thought of business, he immediately thought of Zhang Yong.

Hearing this name, old man Xiao's expression didn't change, but he looked down on him very much in his heart. Not to mention his cruelty, he was very rampant in Liangzhou. If it weren't for the things Li Yuanchang did to protect him, he would have been killed several times. .

"Zhang Yong is a talent in business, but as far as I know, there seems to be a little gap between him and Yuan Shan last time. If Zhang Yong is allowed to go again, it may not be easy at this time." Xiao Lao said.

Li Yuanchang also knew about this matter. Zhang Yong acted a bit too much when he wooed him. In their eyes, the problem was naturally caused by Lan Tianhou. Such people who don't know current affairs are really annoying.

At that time, Zhang Yong had a great atmosphere, but he had to bow his head under the eaves. Although he was brave and ruthless, he was also a snob. In Chang'an, he knew that he could do nothing, so he could only go back to Liangzhou and complain to the King of Han. , talking bad things about Yuan Shan.

Although Li Yuanchang is an outgoing prince, he is also His Majesty's younger brother after all, and the prince's words have a certain weight. At this time, he only needs to beg for mercy from his master, and then wait for the opportunity to take revenge.

"Since we have decided to do this, we will not go to Chang'an anymore. After we return to Liangzhou, we will ask Mr. Xiao to write a letter to His Majesty, hoping that Marquis of Lantian can inspect it in person," Li Yuanchang said.

"Yes." Old man Xiao said.

Li Yuanchang spoke but his tone was still very gentle. The old man beside him was not an ordinary person. He was Xiao Mingyuan, the governor of Liangzhou. In terms of rights, he, the governor of Liangzhou, the king of Han, was no match for him. the honorable.

The three of them left the shop in a low-key manner. After drinking some wine just now, the King of Han was a little dizzy when he walked. There is no way this is the habit of being a prince. He must be drunk when he has alcohol.

"Old Xiao, the wine we drank just now was really sweet, why did I feel drunk after drinking a bowl of it?" Li Yuanchang said.

Xiao Mingyuan didn't drink too much because he was thinking about what he was planning. At this time, he heard Li Yuanchang's words and immediately said: "I heard that this wine is a high-grade wine issued by the Ministry of Economic Development, and it is easier to get drunk than ordinary wine."

"Hahaha, so it is like this, Chen Hua, go back and buy some to bring back to Liangzhou." Li Yuanchang said.

The king of Han had already spoken, and Mr. Xiao gave a look. Chen Hua immediately understood and went back to buy wine. The king of Han wants to buy wine, but a few jars are not enough. The prince likes to gather some people to hold a banquet when drinking, so the demand for wine needs to be determined by car. calculate.

After disguising, Chen Hua went back to buy wine, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant received him personally.

"Objectively, there are three hundred bottles of wine, and we are big spies pretending to guarantee that they are all good wines." The shopkeeper introduced with a smile.

"Three hundred per jar, are you sure that the shopkeeper's price is not a money grab?" Chen Hua asked in surprise.

At this time, Chen Hua, who was usually very calm, was not calm anymore. This was clearly a money grab, and it cost three hundred guan to buy a jar of wine, so whoever could just pack a carload of money and come and pay for it.

Chapter 562 Chen Hua Buys Wine

"Objectively, you just said that you want [-] altars of high-quality wine, a total of [-] coins. This restaurant is authorized by the Ministry of Development to use gold and silver for large-value transactions, but a conversion fee of [-]% will be deducted for the exchange." The shopkeeper explained. road.

"Don't worry about this objective person. All the wines sold in this store have passed the inspection of the Ministry of Economics and Development. There is a back order for the payment transaction. If there is any abnormality in the quality of the product, you can go to the Ministry of Economics and Development to complain and solve it. And yours One-thousandth of every consumption will be donated to the Poverty Alleviation Project Team of the Ministry of Economic Development, and a love for solving poverty." The shopkeeper explained earnestly.

Chen Hua said with some embarrassment: "Can this wine be delivered to Liangzhou and then settled?"
