"How do you talk about withdrawing the left and right prime ministers today? Aren't you afraid of arousing Prime Minister Han's resentment?" Zihuan said in a low voice in Qingsi Hall.

Shen Bai smiled and shook his head: "It's unlikely, you don't understand Han Xiang's character. He is different from Wang Mingzhang, he is not greedy for power, but a true Qingliu, and he is a Taoist disciple, and he is obedient to everything. It's natural, there won't be too much resistance."

Zihuan thought for a while, "What do you mean by proposing such a central province plan, where the pronunciation of central and central script is the same?"

"Center means the center of the imperial court." Shen Bai explained: "You think of it like this, so why don't other people criticize me to death?"

Zihuan glanced at the joking Shen Bai, "It's a good thing you can laugh, and I'm not afraid that if the fire doesn't burn well, I'll blame you, the woodcutter."

"Yeah!" Shen Bai pursed his lips and smiled: "I can still joke, but I'm going to burn charcoal, and if the fire doesn't burn well, I'll sell charcoal to them."

Zihuan looked at him and shook his head: "Not a single serious word."

While the two were talking, Shunzi came over and said, "The palace sent someone, saying that the emperor and the empress are coming to eat at night." '

Shen Bai nodded and asked them to arrange meals.

"Go and ask Guanshi Zhao to come over." Shen Bai instructed Shunzi.

Zhao Pu came and saluted Shen Bai and Zihuan.

"Find the best location in Bianjingdong City, a third-floor floor, and find a way to buy it. Also, invite Wan Jinhou and his son to come here." Shen Bai said.

"To buy a shop, there are not many three-story buildings in Dongshi, and the prices are astonishingly expensive." Zhao Pu replied.

"How much money did we get back before?"

Zhao Pu calculated: "Including the use of the Ministry of Education, we probably don't have 2 taels in our own mansion."

Shen Bai sighed: "A penny can't kill a hero, you go and call my second brother Qin Yu over."

"Yes! The shop?"

"Keep watching, you go to Prince Shen's Fengzuiyuan, and take the 10 taels of gold sent by General Li Lu back to the mansion, and use it first." Shen Bai ordered.

Zhao Pu and Zihuan were a little surprised when they heard the number, but after all, Shen Bai is not an extraordinary person, although he didn't think too much about it.

When Zhao Pu went out to work, Zihuan asked, "Are you really going to do business?"

"Of course, you can ask, and buy the entire valley from Longyuan Temple." Shen Bai said with a smile.

Zihuan nodded: "I'll arrange it, but I don't know the price?"

"Just go there with great fanfare, I want to see how much the emperor will charge me?" Shen Bai said with a sinister smile.

"You want to blackmail the emperor?" Zihuan asked, blinking.

Shen Bai made a booing look: "Low key, low key!"

Zihuan couldn't help sighing: "You are really in the right business, you are really a good bastard of a profiteer."

"Well, Zihuan still understands me!" Shen Bai said proudly, in such a way that Zihuan wanted to knock him twice to relieve his hatred.

Qin Yu came very quickly, and when he came, he saw Shen Bai drinking tea with a smile on his face.He sat down anxiously: "Fourth brother, I heard that you resigned, what's the matter?"

Shen Bai looked at his suffocated expression: "Resign, why did this matter spread so quickly?"

Qin Yu sighed: "Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. It's such a big deal that you resigned at the same time as Prince Youyang and Prime Minister Zuo Mingzhang!"

"What do people say?" Shen Bai asked curiously.

"There are all kinds of arguments. There are two extremes. One is that Wang Mingzhang is immoral and forced you to resign. The other is that you forced Gu Changyong to death, and you want to kill Wang Mingzhang, just to make the third prince the crown prince." Qin Yu Holding his forehead, he said.

Shen Bai smiled: "Go and make arrangements, find a large number of little beggars and children, and let them go to the street to read a nursery rhyme, and I will write it for you later."

"Okay, you want to confuse the public?" Qin Yu asked.

Shen Bai shook his head: "It depends on Wang Mingzhang's health, I will find a way to piss him off."

"Hey!" Qin Yu couldn't help laughing.

"How much money do we have?" Shen Bai turned to ask about the business.

"The 30 yuan I received at one time was thrown away one after another in Zhongshu to replace the medicinal materials. We also opened a shop in Zhongshu, and Jinkou also set up a shop. In the past three months, I have got a lot of The money comes from the bookstore. It is very stable every month, with more than 9 taels of silver. After deducting expenses, it is more than 8 taels a month. I allocated 23 to Manager Zhao to arrange the spring plowing and unlucky livestock in the village below. Things have happened, and I have gathered more than [-] in my hand one after another." Qin Yu said like a treasure.

Shen Bai nodded: "Then don't touch your money for now, let's continue to develop our industries. If it's done well, it won't be a big problem to earn 100 million taels a year."

"Do you want a place to spend money? I'll make it together, and I still have 30 taels." Qin Yu said anxiously.

Shen Bai shook his head: "I want 50, forget it, ask Huang Liuqi to borrow it.

Qin Yu nodded: "Recently, because of you, the Huang family has made a lot of money from medicinal materials and leather goods, as well as coal, iron, and timber."

Shen Bai responded with a smile: "They are all on their own, and it is right to make some money. You can carve a tea wrapping paper for me according to a template, and I will ask someone to send you the pattern."

Qin Yu happily asked: "Do you want to do tea business again?"

"The academy is still open, and your book is going to be popular again." When Shen Bai said, Qin Yu grinned like a child.

When he was leaving, Shen Bai thought of a doggerel for him, Qin Yu looked at it and stretched out his thumb: "Amazing!"

The Huang family's father and son came over in the afternoon, and Shen Bai was waiting for them in Qingsi Hall.

"What, there's another big commotion?" Huang Liuqi asked as soon as he arrived.

"It's the brick tea business that I told you about before." Shen Bai said, "Have you checked the top ten tea shops?"

"I checked, they have a branch in Bianjing, and recently they are planning how to grow in Bianjing." Huang Liuqi said excitedly.

Shen Bai smiled and nodded: "Two things, one is to find out what Wang Mingzhang likes to eat and what his preferences are."

"You?" Huang Liuqi looked at Shen Bai and persuaded in a low voice: "You are not going to poison him to death, this is not the right time!"

Shen Bai was taken aback by what he said: "You think about it, I just want to see if he has any serious illnesses, and also to see if he may have a short life!"

"Can you tell whether you are short-lived from what you like to eat?" Huang Liuqi asked in disbelief.

"Of course, I'll talk to you in detail later. Now let's talk about the second thing, which is to monopolize the business of the entire tea shop, specifically for brick tea!"

"This may be very difficult!" Huang Liuqi said: "I have sent someone to talk to them before, but they are very rude, and I can only sell it to us for two or three. Sell ​​us, that will almost cut off their way of life, is this impossible?"

"Maybe!" Shen Bai said confidently, "Their tea can't pass the border."

"You!" Huang Liuqi is so powerful: "Border Garrison?"

"Not only that, except for the tea from the Anshun tea house under my name, anyone who passes by will be expelled by Tubo and Dangxiang, and even lost their lives." Shen Bai said confidently: "This is the promise made to me by the two kings." !"

"Aren't we posting?" Huang Liuqi almost jumped up.

"The 10 taels of gold from the Lord of Xixia and King Bailanqiang has arrived at my residence!" Shen Bai took them to the secret room to have a look.

Huang Liuqi and his son looked at more than a dozen boxes of gold cakes, and couldn't help but look at Shen Bai: "My lord is really neat in handling things, no wonder you resigned, it seems that you are going to do something big!"

Shen Bai laughed: "I still need 50 taels of money, and I want to borrow it from you!"

"That's no problem, but can this business be considered ours?" Huang Liuqi rubbed his palms and asked.

Shen Bai asked them to go out and sit down: "This money is shared by me, the two kings and the emperor. You make another big money."

"Oh, what big money?" Huang Ji'an knew Shen Bai's character and couldn't help asking.

"The whole freight is handed over to you, except for your Huang Ji's men, everyone else will probably go!" Shen Bai made a beheading gesture.

"Then us?" Huang Liuqi asked.

"Hurry up and recruit the reserve imperial guards at home to be guards, and organize an escort agency of about 3000 people to specialize in this business. The goods from the three major guards are all yours. The medicinal materials of King Bailanqiang include leather and gems. The spices of Xixia , and other goods are all transported by you, and your business in Bianjing should be dedicated to such a large business."

"Okay, okay!" Huang Liuqi responded immediately.

"Do you know any big shops in Dongshi? It needs to be three floors. It's impressive enough. My Anshun tea house needs to be magnificent!"

"Hey, the biggest Hengmao store is mine, and I'll give it to you." Huang Liuqi said.

"Okay, to the outside world, you are a member of Anshun Tea House, so people don't know what you are, and they don't even dare to touch you!" Shen Bai said.

"Don't worry, no one in Bianjing would dare to mess with me now that I have the title!" Huang Liuqi said confidently.

"Don't be careless, today is different from the past." Shen Bai nodded on the table: "Wang Mingzhang will specifically oppose us when he is free at home. His party members are too large. Although I have calculated a lot, they will definitely emerge in endlessly. Fight against us."

"Oh!" Huang Liuqi suddenly realized: "No wonder the emperor wants a share in your Anshun tea house."

Shen Bai nodded: "Back against the big tree to enjoy the shade, without the big tree like the emperor, we would all be exposed to the scorching sun."

"Hmph, Wang Mingzhang is a talkative old man, don't blame us for being cruel!" Huang Liuqi said dissatisfied.

"Try to investigate his movements clearly, we can't kill him, but the emperor can!" Shen Bai reminded.

"Hmm!" Huang Liuqi thought for a while, "Gu Changyong?"

Shen Bai knew that he wanted to ask Gu Changyong how he died, so he couldn't help smiling: "The emperor wants him to die."

The Huang family father and son listened to the secret and nodded, expressing that they had never heard of it and would not mention it again.

In the evening Yu Wentuo came to Shen's mansion, saw the tranquility of Shen's mansion, Shen Bai, Leng Shaojun and Zihuan were living together peacefully, and they were arranging things with a well-organized division of labor, and he couldn't help admiring Shen Bai in his heart.

A man can pretend if he doesn't say how capable he is outside.

But for the family, if it can be appeased properly, it is a kind of ability.

Shen Bai looked at Leng Shaojun asking Yu Wen'an about his knowledge there, the little carrot head answered clearly, if he was secretly looking at his uncle, Shen Bai couldn't help but want to laugh.

Yu Wentuo looked at Shen Bai's loving uncle, and asked curiously: "Aren't you going to leave a queen for the Shen family?"

Shen Bai glanced at him: "Maybe An An will have more children in the future, and someone can take over from my line of Prince Youyang."

"Huh!" Yu Wentuo couldn't help but scolded: "You've replaced yourself here!"

Shen Bai invited him to sit in the Qingsi Hall, and after the two sat down, Shen Bai handed him a document.

"What is this?" Yu Wentuo picked it up and took a look: "Anshun Tea Company's shareholding document, what is this?" He looked at it and couldn't help but ask: "Why is there my name on it?"

"Your Majesty, I, Bai Lanqiang Wang Zha and Mu Tuo, and Xixia King Helian Tianjiao, what we did together is to open borders and expand trade, and coexist for mutual benefit!" Shen Bai said.

"You boy, you're really a ghost, you've drawn us all together to make a fortune!" Yu Wentuo couldn't help scolding, but he liked it very much in his heart.

"Our Shen residence only has 2 taels of silver in total, I have to live, Your Majesty!" Shen Bai couldn't help but said.

"How much share capital is missing, will I give it to you?" Yu Wentuo asked.

"I found someone to borrow 50 taels!" Shen Bai said truthfully.

Yu Wentuo nodded: "I heard that you want to buy the valley in front of Longyuan Temple?"

"Well, close to the official road and close to Longyuan Temple, I can live in seclusion and run a school. I can do multiple things!" Shen Bai said: "I will quit Bianjing, and I will have less conflict with Wang Mingzhang and the others. , so that the emperor can do something better!"

Yu Wentuo sighed: "Okay, I will give you that piece of land, and I will also invest in this tea house. But I have a request?"

"Your Majesty, it's all right!" Seeing how straightforward he was, Shen Bai immediately looked at him with a grateful expression.

Yu Wentuo looked at Shen Bai's expression with satisfaction: "I will send you some secret documents, and after you review them, send them back to me, and secretly assist me with some affairs!"

"Okay, it's my honor to share worries for the country and the king!" Shen Bai said.

"Well, you've resigned, but you're humbled a lot!" Yu Wentuo joked.

"I'm a businessman now, and I can make money with kindness!" Shen Bai's words made Yu Wentuo laugh out loud.
