The scumbag wanted to wipe out the whole family, but rebirth ruined him!

forecourt.

Yan Zhao stood there, looking somewhat exhausted, and directed the people accompanying him to classify the items they brought back one by one.

"Brother! Is this trip going well?"

Zhao Huayin could not hide her excitement. Yan Zhao had been gone for a long time. Ever since Qingshuang brought back the news last time, Zhao Huayin had been looking forward to his return.

Yan Zhao nodded.

"Everything went smoothly. The first batch of coke has been brought back. It has been tested by Brother Jin himself and is of high quality."

Zhao Huayin looked behind Yan Zhao, and Yan Zhao smiled and said,

"You forgot that you wrote to me before and told me about the warehouse. I received your letter while I was on the way.

Qingshuang delivered the letter and came back with me. She directly transported the coke to the warehouse. I came back specially for this purpose. "

"But don't worry,"

Yan Zhao saw that Zhao Huayin looked a little disappointed, and knew that she wanted to see what the finished coke looked like as soon as possible, so he took a bag from the person accompanying her.

Zhao Huayin saw Yan Zhao open the bag, and inside was black charcoal blocks.

Remembering the smoky smell of the charcoal she had seen last time, Zhao Huayin took two steps forward and smelled it, but there was no smell at all.

"It turns out that the processed charcoal blocks have no smell."

Zhao Huayin was delighted.

"Not only that, the treated coke will not produce smoke when burned and can burn for a longer time.

I brought some here specially for our kitchen to try out.”

Sure enough, Yan Zhao had thought it through. Zhao Huayin hurriedly ordered Dianxue to take people to deliver the coke to the kitchen.

Mrs. Yan also got the news in the backyard. Knowing that Yan Zhao had returned, she came to the front yard with Shen Bi.

"Mother, stepmother, my child is back."

When Yan Zhao saw the two of them coming, he bowed respectfully. Zhao Huayin also bowed and said,

"Mother, aunt, my brother has just come back and must be very tired. Why don't we let him go to wash first?

I'll go to the kitchen and help prepare some delicious dishes to welcome my brother."

"That's fine. Zhao'er is tired too. It won't be too late for him to come back and talk to us after he washes himself."

Shen Bi said to Madam Yan.

Mrs. Yan hadn't seen her son for a long time. Seeing how busy and tired he was, how could she not agree?

"In that case, I will take my leave and will come back to talk to you later."

Yan Zhao returned to his own room. Zhao Huayin sent Madam Yan and Shen Bi back to their respective rooms, and then went to the kitchen.

Thinking that there would be no good food to eat outside, Zhao Huayin instructed the kitchen and asked Liuyun to go to Tianxiang Tower to buy some of Yan Zhao’s favorite dishes.

Later, Minister Zhao came back. He was very happy to see Yan Zhao, and the family had a lively meal together.

After dinner, Yan Zhao and Zhao Huayin wanted to go to Qinghui Garden to take a look. The quality of the coke brought back this time was very good.

The two of them rode together in a carriage heading out of the city.

Although Yan Zhao had rested for half a day and washed up, he looked in good spirits, but he had traveled for such a long time that there was still a slight blue spot under his eyes.

"Brother, you have come a long way. It will be the same if we go back later to check on the coke. Why rush now?"

"It's okay. Although I feel a little tired, I'm happy in my heart, so I don't feel tired anymore."

Yan Zhao said with a smile.

"I'm in a hurry to get you here because I have something for you to decide. The sooner you see it, the sooner you can make a decision."

"Why are you so anxious?"

Zhao Huayin was puzzled.

"You'll know when you get there."

Yan Zhao deliberately kept the secret and didn't tell Zhao Huayin, just smiled.

When Zhao Huayin arrived in front of the coke warehouse in Qinghui Garden, he saw a tall figure standing with his hands behind his back.

"Your Majesty?"

Zhao Huayin didn't expect Yan Qi to be waiting for her here. Could it be that Yan Zhao was here to see Yan Qi when he said he had something to decide?

But the imperial decree to grant the marriage had already been issued, so there was no need for Yan Qi to be so secretive when meeting me.

Zhao Huayin couldn't guess what the two were up to.

Seeing Zhao Huayin coming in, a smile appeared on Yan Qi's cold face.

"Are you surprised to see me?"

"Not really, but why didn't the prince tell me that he was coming?"

Zhao Huayin stepped forward and answered.

"I asked the prince to come here."

Yan Zhao on the side answered.

"This is the first batch of coke we have made. I would like to invite Your Majesty to come and take a look and see if this coke can be brought into the Inner Court."

Yan Zhao had never mentioned this matter before, and Zhao Huayin was a little surprised when he suddenly brought it up now.

"Inner Court? Brother never mentioned this before."

It’s no wonder that Zhao Huayin was surprised, as the charcoal for the Inner Court was always supplied by a special royal mine.

However, any shortage was also supplied by imperial merchants, and there has never been a precedent of private mines supplying the Inner Court.

"I have had this idea for a long time. I have been making plans since you asked Brother Jin to find this mineral vein.

Firstly, private mines are difficult to survive. After all, mining is extremely profitable and there are many people coveting it. If you are not careful, there will be casualties.

Secondly, if the mining business does not cooperate with the government, it will be difficult to continue in the long run.

That's why I asked the prince to cooperate with us. If this mine is registered under the name of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin,

As long as the emperor does not issue an order to confiscate it, this is considered a royal mine, and no villain would dare to make any move on it."

Zhao Huayin raised his eyebrows. What's the difference between having this mine registered under his name and under Yan Qi's name?

"However, since Huayin and His Highness have already decided to get married, Ji Yunshan will definitely be brought to the Qin Palace as Huayin's dowry.

It is not a bad idea for Your Highness to come and see the palace's assets in advance."

Hearing this, Zhao Huayin felt warm in her heart, knowing that Yan Zhao was planning for her.

Marrying into the palace with such a dowry, no one dared to look down on Zhao Huayin.

Yan Zhao didn't know about the bond between Zhao Huayin and Yan Qi, he just tried his best to prepare a dowry for Zhao Huayin.

"Brother, you have made sufficient plans for me."

Zhao Huayin said this and turned to look at Yan Qi.

Yan Qi was also quite touched. It was always good to have one more person to protect Zhao Huayin.

“I can facilitate the matter of the Inner Court Department that Master Yan mentioned, but since Ji Yunshan is Huayin’s private property, it doesn’t matter whether she wants to have any dealings with the Inner Court Department or not.

If Huayin doesn't want to have business dealings with the Inner Court, I can also protect Ji Yunshan, Master Yan, don't worry."

In fact, Yan Zhao brought up this matter just to show his attitude and to ensure that Yan Qi promised Ji Yunshan's safety.

Zhao Huayin's original intention of mining Jiyun Mountain was to protect the people in times of disaster.

If we sell Ji Yunshan's charcoal to the Nei Ting Si, we will probably be restricted and unable to freely dispose of Ji Yunshan's minerals, and the people will still be frozen to death.

So Zhao Huayin thought about it and refused.

"Oh, I don't want to have anything to do with the Inner Court. If Ji Yunshan gets involved with the royal family, there will be many things we won't be able to decide."

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhao looked straight at Yan Qi, only to see Yan Qi nodded without hesitation.

"It's all up to you."

The rumored cold-faced evil spirit was very patient with Zhao Huayin.

Seeing Yan Qi's reaction, Yan Zhao felt relieved. It seemed that the King of Qin cared about Zhao Huayin.

"It doesn't matter if Huayin doesn't want to deal with the Inner Court. Now that you're here, you can take a look at the coke produced in Jiyun Mountain."

As he spoke, Yan Zhao opened a bag of coke, and Yan Qi reached out and took a piece to examine it carefully.
