Chapter 243
Talking about business is not impossible. After staying in Lin'an for a long time, Liu Bang himself has seen a lot of businessmen. He doesn't think anything of these things that are not suitable for an emperor.

but……

"Are you worthy?"

Zhao Guanjia can be said to be very direct. Although he has direct confidence and direct qualifications, it still makes this big man choke a little.

He licked his face and smiled: "The villain is naturally unworthy, but at this time, there are dozens of ships outside and hundreds of people who are living in the Qian family. The officials will eventually deal with them."

"How to deal with it, maybe the villain can say a few words."

"Then," Liu Bang looked at him, "tell me."

Mr. Da said: "If this matter is not explained in detail, according to His Majesty's temper, I am afraid that the entire Qian family will not be able to please, let alone these people outside."

"So please be patient, let me start from the beginning."

Liu Bang didn't say anything, but he already had a different view of this man in his heart. This man was not just a simple house servant but a housekeeper. He was neither humble nor arrogant. When it came to life and death, he was more calm than many people.

Another thing is that he seems to know himself very well.

I know him very well. Not to mention generals like Zhang Jun and Liu Qi, let’s talk about Xin Ciying, the old man with whom he has a very good relationship. I’m afraid he won’t believe that he would go after the Qian family. After all, this is Song Dynasty. The God of Wealth of the country, at least until now, the Qian family is one of the foundations of the Song Dynasty.

But this man was determined that he would cause trouble for the Qian family. If he didn't say it casually, he must have known something about what he did.

Liu Bang believed in the latter more than the former.

"Princess Qingshou and Duke Kang Guo gave birth to four sons in total. This matter is known to everyone in the world. It is not a secret. Now that there are three of the four sons, the eldest son Rong Guo Gong is in charge of the Qian family."

"The third son, Duke Guo of Qin, was on a mission to the Kingdom of Jin. He saw how the Jin people treated my royal family. After he came back, he fell seriously ill. He never paid attention to foreign affairs and only stayed with the princess. In the past five or six years, he has never been out of Linhai. One place.”

"And the culprit who offended the official family today is the fourth son Qian Kai."

Mr. Da didn't even remember these things. He seemed to have written down the fact that the emperor had forgotten many things after hurting his head.

Sure enough, when he saw that Zhao Guanjia did not interrupt him, he knew that he had thought correctly, and continued:
"The Qian family is undoubtedly the first family in this dynasty to receive such great favor from the emperor. Three of the princess's four sons have been granted the title of Duke of the State. Only these four sons have only inherited a right-wing military officer. It's just a false position for a doctor. The officials tried to confer a title on him, but he was declined by the princess. I think it's strange in His Majesty's heart, right?"

Liu Bang did not answer his words and just said:

"Just tell me directly and don't ask me. If I don't understand something, I will naturally ask you."

Mr. Da kowtowed and confessed, and then said:
"Actually, the fourth master is not the princess' biological son, but a concubine."

He was a little surprised at the emperor's calmness. After hearing such secrets, the Zhao Guan family didn't even look surprised.

"Back then, Duke Kang Guo returned to Lin'an to worship his ancestors... As a man, no one could control the girl from Jiangnan. Later, the disaster was done. According to the financial resources of the Qian family, raising a bastard was not a big deal, as long as The princess doesn’t know, but it’s not a bad thing for Qian Kai to be a rich man in Jiangnan.”

"But who called it out and let the princess know about it?"

At this point, Mr. Da sighed: "Princess is compassionate. I originally wanted to treat it as if nothing happened. In addition, Kang Guogong repeatedly begged before his death, which gave him a chance to live."

"If the city of Kaifeng hadn't been destroyed and the princess followed you south to cross the Huaihe River, the two of you might never have had the chance to meet each other in this lifetime."

"When the mountains and rivers were in turmoil, Duke Rong Guo took over the business at home. Most of what he did was money and business on the road from south to north. After this road could no longer be done, he shifted his focus to the sea. Go." "At that time, both the princess and Duke Rong knew how much Duke Kang loved his little son."

"He has long been brought into the ancestral hall by the Qian clan, he has worshiped his ancestors, and he has been taught by countless great scholars. The most important thing is that when he was only 16 years old, he started to take over the Qian family's ship. ...Everyone says that the Qian family's ships account for half of the Song Dynasty, and the fourth master's ships account for seven or eight of the Qian family's ships."

"In this way, the old princess pinched her nose and tolerated this man, and told others that he was her own son, but he was frail, and she only released him when he was older, which was considered to have given him a status. "

"Rongguo Gong is the head of the family, but he really can't make all the decisions in the business in this water. The things brought by the villain and Liu Dushi were given by Rongguo Gong, and the boats of the other group of people, It belongs to the Fourth Master."

Liu Bang nodded: "You have pushed it all away. The two brothers have the same surname. Now, they are trying to survive with a broken arm in front of me, right?"

Mr. Da is not in a hurry: "The officials should make their own decisions about right and wrong, and the villains dare not speak nonsense."

"I'm afraid the officials already know where Qian Kai's boat is going."

"After all, he is also a member of the Qian family, one whose name is recorded in the genealogy. Although Rong Guogong did not know this, he could not escape the crime of lax discipline. However, the Qian family's existence today is entirely dependent on the Song Dynasty. Country, this is something that Duke Rong often uses to encourage everyone above and below him. Even if he had great courage, he would definitely not be able to do such a thing of colluding with outsiders."

"He is a businessman, and a businessman will not kill the goose that lays the goose to lay the eggs."

Liu Bang lowered his head and thought for a while: "I know the matter, what bargaining chip can you give me?"

Mr. Da said: "All the things promised before are still presented in full. The officials can also take the things from the other fleet themselves."

"In addition, I should go back and report to the Duke of Ming Dynasty, and I should send another fleet of the same size to apologize to the officials."

"I just hope that your majesty will not doubt Duke Rong, so as not to create a rift between the monarch and his ministers. As for Qian Kai, no matter what the officials want to do with him, the Duke will not care about him anymore."

Liu Bang shook his head: "Not enough. You have to give an explanation for instigating the princess to jump into the river."

Mr. Da paused: "Then add one more."

"That's my biological sister."

"Just...one more?"

Liu Bang ignored him and looked at his fingernails.

Mr. Da was a little panicked. One fleet was already a huge amount, and now it had been increased to three. Counting the things he had given before, it had already hurt the Qian family's vitality.

"Officials, please give me one more at most. If you give more, the villain won't be able to take charge."

Liu Bang stood up from the chair, helped Mr. Da who had been kneeling to speak, and smiled with great enthusiasm:
"Five more fleets and this matter will be wiped out."

Then, he whispered in his ear again:
"If your master wants to borrow a knife to kill someone, he must give him some reward."

"Three fleets are used to make amends, and the other two are my hard-earned money to do my work."

"Not a word is missing."
