Sir, I can do it!

It was already dark when Huo Baoer came back.After receiving the complete plan, he looked satisfied, and happily ran to ask the young master for credit.

There was silence in Guiyun Courtyard.The summer heat has not disappeared, and the night is more sultry than the roasting during the day.He trotted back all the way, saw that Wei Zhao was not in the room, saw the lamp in the study, and ran to the study again.Before he got close, he was stopped by Mrs. Jiang.

She whispered: "The young master is not in a good mood, so he went into the study when he came back, and didn't eat dinner. The young master doesn't want to be disturbed. If you have nothing urgent, you can talk about it later."

Huo Bao'er looked worried: "Young Master, what if you don't eat dinner, you will collapse."

Jiang comforted: "I asked the small kitchen to simmer the porridge, and when it's ready, I'll serve it to the young master."

Huo Baoer reluctantly complied.

Seeing him, Mrs. Jiang was very excited just now, but now she was languid again, and asked: "You ran out all day today, what did you do?"

Huo Bao'er remembered what he had done, and then smiled a little, and said: "My plan is written, and I want to show it to the young master. If the young master has no other problems, I will start work here."

Jiang shi softly smiled and said, "Bao'er is promising."

Huo Bao'er was quite proud of herself, but she was not greedy for credit. She scratched her head and smiled and said, "It's not due to me alone, thanks to Brother Jiang's help... By the way, Brother Jiang likes to eat our candied fruit very much. He said that every The last time I went to the shop, I couldn’t buy green plums, and I wanted to ask Aunt Jiang for some, so I could send it to Brother Jiang tomorrow, as a thank you to him.”

Jiang's face was happy: "Then I will do it now."

Huo Bao'er was a little embarrassed to work for Aunt Jiang, so she simply put the plan in the room, and Dian Dian'er went to help Mrs. Jiang, while bragging about Big Brother Jiang to him.

"...Auntie doesn't know, Brother Jiang has a talent for business. If there is something I don't understand, he can give advice after a little thought. Otherwise, how can I make such a big show on my own."

Jiang Shi said: "Bao'er, don't belittle yourself. You have been with the young master for many years, and you have a lot of knowledge, but you have never done this. If you were an ordinary person, even if someone suggested something, you wouldn't be able to figure it out..."

Jiang's heart moved slightly, and she asked, "I heard that you admire this Brother Jiang so much, but where is he from?"

Huo Baoer washed the green plums and said happily: "He said that his ancestral home is Fengxi, but he was taken out by his father to go shopping when he was very young. The Fuling Weir burst, and he was in Fuzhou at that time, and the goods in his hand It was all washed away by the flood, and he lost all his money. His father was in a hurry and couldn't make it through. He was the only one left in the family and had nowhere to go, so he came to Shengjing with the refugees."

"When my shop was recruiting, he went to apply for a job. I saw that he was literate, and he had been to a businessman. He had rich experience, so I kept him." Every time I think of this, Huo Bo'er looks rejoicing: "Brother Jiang is a talent." Ah, I'm afraid I'll bury him if I do things for me."

The candlelight in the kitchen flickered on and off, and the expression on Jiang's face changed.When pickling green plums, she intentionally added more ingredients...

Seeing that she only did this, Huo Baoer asked suspiciously: "Aunt Jiang, I have washed a lot, and it will be sold in the shop tomorrow, so why not do it together."

Jiang said with a smile: "This is a new product, don't try to make some. Your friend must have tasted a lot of food when he traveled all over the world, so you can ask him to try it. If it is good, it will be sold in the shop."

When Huo Bao'er heard that it was a new product, his eyes lit up immediately: "Bao'er wants to try it too!"

Jiang Shi gave him one with a smile, and Huo Bao'er couldn't wait to stuff it into his mouth.The green plum fruit is sweet and sour, and Huo Baoer eats it cutely.The new product must be more crisp and sweet...

However, Huo Bao'er thought it was not sweet, so he took a bite and grimaced. If it wasn't for Mrs. Jiang, he would have vomited the green plum fruit.Even the raw fruit is sour at most, but the pickled fruit is so bitter!

Jiang's smile deepened: "Don't think it's bitter, it's called bitterness before sweetness. The so-called suffering is bitter, and only then can you be a master. It's the same as the black tea in your library."

Sure enough, Huo Baoer smacked it carefully, and after the bitterness, there was a hint of sweetness.But he still doesn't like it: "Eating candied fruit is not like drinking tea. Who can taste it carefully? Bao'er is not very optimistic about this new product."

Mrs. Jiang knocked on him: "Maybe your big brother Jiang likes it. Right now he is experiencing setbacks, which is the bitterness in life. The sweetness is after the suffering. This is to let him not give up hope."

Huo Bao'er sounded reasonable, thanked Mrs. Jiang cheerfully, ran back to the room to get a flower-carved box, and put the green plum fruit away carefully...

Li Huai mobilized the interests of the old nobles, and the old nobles united to resist the imperial power.Recently, there has been a lot of turmoil in the court, and the courtiers hang their hearts every time they go to the court.Hong Kun did not expect things to develop into what they are now, but for him, this is a golden opportunity.

Chen Jinghuai was sent to Weinan, and now Cheng Meng has taken over the affairs of the Young Supervisor, and Cheng Meng seems to be very popular with Li Huai.Hong Kun sneered, his power was emptied.Cheng Meng, on the other hand, had already taken refuge in someone else under his nose.

Beifu is no longer the same as Tietong in the past, and now it is riddled with holes, like chicken ribs.But Li Huai will not let him go, and the Marquis of Zhen Guo will not let him go.So in this turmoil in the court, Hong Kun locked his target on Master Feng.

Feng Ze is good at business, but that's all.If it weren't for the influence of Concubine Feng, who in Shengjing City would care about a merchant's house.Even if Concubine Feng Gui is being favored, those famous families have never looked at the Feng family.

The emperor's eldest son, Li Kui, has won the support of many people regarding the establishment of the crown prince.But there are more people who oppose it.Because of Concubine Feng Gui's low background, they could not tolerate the fact that the mother family of the crown prince of a country was a family of small merchants.So Master Feng was very depressed.Even though Feng Yu has already become an official, the mere member of the household department, Wailang, is far from enough.

Many of Hong Kun's powers were eradicated by Li Huai, and even his criminal evidence, as well as the hidden stakes he had arranged in the court were all found out.But Hong Kun, as the supervisor of Beifu who had experienced two dynasties, had far more things in his hands than what they found out.

This is also why Li Huai still wants to get rid of Hong Kun with the help of the Marquis of Zhen Guo, who clearly controls most of Hong Kun's power.Wei Zhao obviously hated Hong Kun to death, but he didn't dare to advance rashly, he could only plan it slowly.And Hong Kun took the initiative to find the Zhen Guohou's Mansion, because he knew Li Huai's fear of the Zhen Guohou's Mansion.He tried to balance the power of the three parties without revealing the final hole card.That's why he was restrained by Wei Zhao before, and was pressed by him every step of the way.

But Wei Zhao already knew that he had something to do with the death of his biological mother Chu, and the fact that Wei Xi rescued Wei Xi when he designed Wei Zhao, causing Wei Xi to break his legs.

Zhen Guohou loves Chong Chu family very much and loves his children. If he knows that the death of his wife and the broken leg of his second son are all caused by himself, he will get rid of him regardless of the consequences.With his own strength, he is absolutely unable to compete with the Zhenguohou Mansion and the Ningzhou Chu Clan.

Hong Kun sighed, wondering if it was his luck or misfortune to meet Wei Zhao.In the face of the enemy who killed his biological mother, he could bear such a tone, and this forbearance made Hong Kun fearful.

So he urgently consolidated his forces, and defended against Wei Zhao.But now there is a better way out.

When Wu Ze came, he met Feng Ze's car leaving Hong's residence.

"Supervisor Hong has decided to bet on the eldest son of the emperor?"

Hong Kun's eyes were slightly closed, and if there was nothing like 'hmm', he said: "The eldest son of the emperor has an advantage, it is nothing more than the inferiority of the mother family. The emperor favors Concubine Feng, but he does not want other princes and mother families to take the opportunity to sit on the throne." , if it is necessary to establish a crown prince at this time, the eldest son of the emperor is the best candidate."

Wu Ze said: "But the other three princes and mothers have deep roots. It may be difficult to support the eldest son of the emperor. Unless the queen is willing to record the eldest son of the emperor under her name."

Hong Kun sat up straight, raised his breath slightly, and the wind of his palm passed by sharply, and a box of glazed beads placed beside the desk fell to the ground.

Wu Ze felt distressed: "If Superintendent Hong thinks they are not pleasing to the eye, I will give them a reward. Look at this broken ground, just like my heart..."

Hong Kun snorted coldly: "This supervisor is telling you not to put treasures in the same box."

Wu Ze also felt distressed for a while, opened his clothes and sat opposite Hong Kun, raised his eyebrows: "What does Supervisor Hong mean, the eldest son of the emperor is just a choice? Then I don't know that the other Supervisor Hong prefers is... ..."

"Third Prince Li Lin."

"Oh? The Xie family." Wu Ze raised his eyebrows: "The Xie family is an old aristocrat on par with the Qin family in Liyang. There are many supporters. I am afraid that one more Hong supervisor is not many, and one less Hong supervisor is not a lot. Besides. Your Majesty has an ambiguous attitude towards Superintendent Hong, if the Xie family wants to fight for the heir, I'm afraid they won't be willing to cooperate with Superintendent Hong."

Hong Kun smiled when he heard the words, and said: "No matter how prosperous the Xie family is, it is just one family. Although the Xiao family and the Zhao family have declined, but the centipedes are dead but not stiff, they will not see the Xie family grow up. Although the three families are currently Disputes continue, but as long as the Xie family gains the upper hand, the Xiao and Zhao families will definitely put aside their previous animosity and spare no effort to bring down the third prince. Not to mention there is a Cui family behind."

"Since the Cui family has sent their daughter-in-law into the palace, they naturally intend to compete for the reserve position. The emperor is still young, and even if a crown prince is established now, it is still uncertain whether he will be able to sit firmly in the East Palace."

Wu Ze rolled his eyes, then reacted and said, "So Supervisor Hong thinks the Cui family will support the eldest son of the emperor?"

Hong Kun nodded: "The power of the Feng family is only based on the emperor's favor, but the foundation is the shallowest. If the eldest son of the emperor can be supported on the condition that he is not recorded in the empress's name, in the future only the Feng family will support him, It is easy to pull the eldest son of the emperor off the horse."

"The Xie family will not fail to see this, so he will definitely agree to cooperate with the supervisor. As for the Feng family..." Hong Kun sneered: "Most of the vassals of the Feng family are people who follow the power of the people. They have relied on the emperor for so many years. Management has won many supporters, but if our supervisor makes a move, the chances of winning will be even greater. If Feng Ze has the heart, he will naturally not refuse."

He shook the teacup in his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly: "The supervisor was able to support Li Huai back then, and now he can support Li Huai's son. Whether it is the eldest son of the emperor or the third prince, as long as one side wins, the supervisor will win." It has the merits of following a dragon."

Wu Ze thought about it for a while, but still felt that something was wrong: "There are many difficulties in winning the position. But right now, the man from Zhen Guohou's Mansion is watching closely, how can we have enough time?"

Hong Kun asked him: "Has the payment for the recent purchase arrived?"

Wu Ze nodded: "It's already in the account, and Superintendent Hong can call it at any time if needed."

Hong Kun stroked the jade wrench finger, and said: "Restrain the people under his control, push away all the jobs that shouldn't be taken, don't let people hold the handle. Wu's water transport is hugely lucrative, and I don't know how many people are waiting to take over."

Wu Ze responded solemnly: "I don't know what Supervisor Hong's plan is..."

Hong Kun dipped in tea and wrote two large characters on the desk: Weinan.
