Liu Yuanhui nonchalantly fiddled with Zhao Youliang's scroll on the case: "We still have business to take care of at home, to be decided!"

"Liu Yuanhui accepts the order!" King Yan saw that Liu Yuanhui was looking for reasons to delay again, so he directly took out his trump card.

"I knew it!" Liu Yuanhui rolled his eyes and knelt down to listen to the order perfunctorily.

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: The imperial tea merchant Liu Yuanhui, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, has meritorious service in protecting the salary, and has voluntarily donated money and food for the army to benefit the people of the Song Dynasty. Now he is promoted to the court as an official in an exceptional manner! He was promoted to half a level and received the title of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. I have been granted the title of Doctor Zijin Guanglu, and I will enter the palace tomorrow to see the saint! There must be no mistake! This is it!" After saying this, King Yan looked at Liu Yuanhui on the ground with a proud look on his face.

"Congratulations to Mr. Liu on your promotion! Let's take the order quickly, shall we?" King Yan said.

Liu Yuanhui stood up slowly and said in a long voice: "Yuanhui has accepted the order and will report to the palace tomorrow."

"You have to say: 'I accept the order!'" King Yan said again.

"Okay, okay, I accept the decree!" Liu Yuanhui took the imperial decree.

"Hahahaha! How about brother Liu? Do you want to have a drink with me to celebrate?" King Yan said with a smile.

"Thank you King Yan for your kindness! I have to enter the palace tomorrow, and I still need to explain my family business! Yuanhui takes leave!" Liu Yuanhui said and waved his hand.

"Okay! Let's see you at Ziwei Palace tomorrow! Master Liu? Let's go slowly!" King Yan said.

Liu Yuanhui immediately turned around and left.

"Wait a minute!" King Yan thought of something, stopped Liu Yuanhui and said with a smile: "Master Liu, you see that I have tried my best to recommend you to be an official. Do you have to thank me? You don't have to be too polite. Just donate another two Just a thousand taels of military pay will be enough!”

Liu Yuanhui was almost shocked. The dignified King Yan, who was known for his "uprightness", actually learned how to blackmail openly!

"My lord, I didn't ask you to become an official! You asked me to become an official. You asked me to give you two thousand taels of silver. Isn't this justified?" Liu Yuanhui said.

"Huh? This is what the emperor asked you to do, not me. Besides, I helped you make a lot of money. This painting still belongs to my son. I have the right to sell the painting for my son as a father! It's only two thousand taels! Don't worry. You are so stingy, I know you have made a lot of money! Give you the painting and give me the money, the best of both worlds, fair and just! Isn’t it good?!”

What a fart!

Liu Yuanhui resisted the urge to swear.

It took him a while to calm down.

Forget it, even if King Yan asked him for money, it would probably be because the treasury was empty.

Now that the Song Dynasty is unsettled both inside and outside the country, with these two thousand taels of my own, I should treat it as a donation to contribute to the country!

"Okay! Two thousand taels is two thousand taels! I will send someone over in a moment!" Liu Yuanhui said and turned and left.

King Yan looked at Liu Yuanhui's back and said to himself: "I didn't expect that this kid's little tricks are so easy for me to use! Hahaha!"

Inside the Liu Mansion.

The sky was getting dark, and Liu Yuanhui was in the room looking at the imperial edict in his hand in a daze.

"Master, you asked us to come, didn't you want us to accompany you to appreciate the imperial edict?" Bailey asked.

The chief steward Ni Dacheng also said: "Master, you have been in a daze for a long time and you are not talking!"

"Oh! It's so annoying. I don't want to be an official, but I'm chasing after you and I want you to be the official. It's so annoying!" Liu Yuanhui was weak when he spoke.

Ni Dacai didn't understand: "Master Yuanhui, being an official is a good thing! It's too late for others to be happy!"

"The matter has come to this, I can only visit the palace! I came to you today just to talk about business matters. How is our business recently?" Liu Yuanhui put down the imperial edict and asked everyone.

"The Cuju shop is still very prosperous. People from other provinces and even Jin and Liao countries often come to buy Cuju. The day before yesterday, a caravan from the Xixia Kingdom also came to buy 500 Cuju. They are currently rushing to make it. Yuanhui Tea The drinks are sold out every day," Bailey said.

"The Cuju venue was damaged a lot when Master Yuanji occupied it. Now it has been completely repaired. More than a dozen shops have already requested to place their plaques on our auditorium guardrails!" said the chief steward.

"The Liu family's tea business is still business as usual, very stable!" said the second housekeeper.

"Very good! The girls at Yutangzhai take care of it very well too!"

After Liu Yuanhui finished speaking, he said to the butler: "Uncle Cheng, some small private Cuju competitions can be held at the Cuju field. Don't charge too high the entry price and admission ticket price! You can arrange the prizes as you like!"

"I understand!" said the big steward.

Liu Yuanhui turned to Bailey and Ni Dacai: "Bailey, Uncle Cai, you first need to find a few capable servants to take care of the business of the Cuju shop and the tea house. Get ready. In the near future, we will set off to various state capitals to investigate. I'm thinking about our business. We can open semi-colons across the country. Thank you, you two, go check out the situation first! We have enough manpower to take your pick!"

"Okay, young master, we will set off soon!" Ni Dacai and Bailey said.

"Everyone, please go prepare yourself. I will go to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit tomorrow. I will explain it to you in detail when I have time!"

After everyone dispersed, Liu Yuanhui unfolded the imperial edict again and looked at it.

"Alas! It's really not clean! The family affairs have just settled down, and the state affairs are rising again. It seems that I, the adult, have to do something! But tomorrow I will see the legendary Song Huizong. It is quite interesting to think about it."
