It’s too dangerous to seize the direct descendant, so I choose to be the leader of the Demon Cult

Chapter 42 Steamed buns?You don’t have a support?
The gate of the palace.

The carriages from the Tenth Prince's Palace and the Ninth Prince's Palace did not leave.

Correspondingly, neither the Feng family nor the Zhu family's carriages left.

They had just brought out Zhao Yong.

"Your Highness!"

Congratulations and Feng Buyi both greeted him.

Zhao Yong was already annoyed because Zhao Ci was left to fend for himself. Seeing these two people still waiting for him, he felt a slight pain in his brain.

"Why are you two still waiting?"

"Can you wait? Your Majesty, what did His Majesty just tell you?"

The two looked at each other, feeling a little sick in their stomachs.

They are already in their early thirties, and as the talkers of the younger generation in their respective families, they have been beaten severely for a long time.

In previous years, the emperor summoned their fathers during the Tribute Pill Conference. Although there were arguments over the price of Qi Training Pills, they often ended in peace.

But this time, the emperor did not summon his father, but instead brought the two of them over.

It happened to be that Zhao Yong was opening his mansion, and when the Feng and Zhu families were ready to give their full support, they used the fourth prince to suppress him, and sent Zhao Ci to stir up trouble.

It was difficult for them to parry a combo of attacks.

After leaving the palace, they had no intention of going home.

Just guard Zhao Yong's carriage and wait for him to come out.

"This……"

Zhao Yong glanced at Zhu Li, who was standing aside, suddenly thinking about it, and raised his voice a few degrees: "Actually, it's nothing. I'm just asking if Lao Shi and I have the confidence to bring down the price of Qi Lian Dan. I'm thinking It was really difficult, so I didn’t dare to accept too much.

As a result, Lao Shi became more energetic. If we have to say that we are too weak, his attack this time will definitely break the situation where people cannot afford Qi training pills.

Really!
He knew how to please his father since he was a child, but he didn't expect that he would be like this after opening the palace, talking nonsense like a child. "

The two looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

But I haven't vented all my anger yet.

Zhu Li stopped: "Nonsense! What you can't do doesn't mean that others can't do it. Just wait and see how we deal with you at the Gongdan Conference!"

She didn't dare to act particularly presumptuously in front of the emperor just now. After all, no matter how much she was ostracized at home, she was still a member of the Zhu family in front of outsiders.

She is the daughter of the head of the Zhu family, so she cannot do anything that damages the reputation of the Zhu family, otherwise those bad people will use her to criticize her father.

But it was different after leaving the palace. She didn't want to give these people a good look at all.

Congratulations glanced at her indifferently: "What? Li Mei plans to use her unparalleled alchemy skills to help Xiang's Alchemy House solve Dayu's pill price dilemma?"

"Push!"

Hearing this, the two shopkeepers of Zhujia Danfang behind him burst into laughter.

The Zhu family made their fortune through elixirs. Within the family, alchemy attainments often have a greater impact on status than actual cultivation.

It is often those who cannot become excellent alchemists who will go in the direction of arson and recklessness and become a combat unit.

Zhu Li...

In the Zhu family, he is even more of a top-notch weirdo. I have never seen such a loser in my alchemy journey.

Made them laugh.

Zhu Li was even more angry, but when it came to his mouth, he could only say: "Steamed buns, don't you have a handle?"

Although she was speaking harshly, she felt like she was half a point shorter when she said these words.

too weak!
This sentence is so weak!

But there was no way, Zhao Ci had told her that she could be arrogant outside, but she must not expose the secret of her alchemy.

But how can you be arrogant without exposing your secret?

My aunt and grandma are so angry that it hurts!
All thanks to Zhao Ci!

Seeing Zhu Li gasping with anger.

Zhao Yong did not continue to be angry with her, but made an invitation gesture to Feng Zhu and the other two, and the three of them got on the carriage of the Ninth Prince's Mansion together.

After the door curtains and curtains were closed, he lowered his voice and asked: "You two! I don't believe that Zhao Ci has the ability to lower the price of Qi Lian Dan, but have you ever thought about a question?"

"His Royal Highness, but it doesn't matter!"

Congratulations said in a deep voice.

Zhao Yong took a deep breath: "Don't forget, the person behind Zhao Ci is Concubine Jing. Concubine Jing has won the trust of the father and is fully capable of selling the elixir at cost price or even at a loss.

And we knew before that Concubine Jing's move was just to seize the elixir market, and now her father has given her the name of 'National elixir' as a bonus.

If she really robs him and uses the name of national elixir to deceive him, she might be able to attract a group of top alchemists.

At that time, no matter how much money you lose, it may not be a loss! "

hiss……

Feng Buyi and Congratulations looked at each other, and both saw the seriousness in the other's eyes.

Although the top alchemists in Dayu have been basically monopolized by the Feng Zhuyang family, their family inheritance only serves to consolidate the upper and lower limits of the clan and to stably produce outstanding alchemists.

It does not mean that there are no top alchemists in the wild.Because there is considerable uncertainty in the matter of opening the divine treasure, there is no guarantee that whoever opens the fire and wood divine treasure will be unlucky enough to condense the top divine patterns.

Such idle top alchemists, except for those who are included in the royal family, are mostly enshrined by some middle-aged forces.

Although it is difficult for them to pass it on stably, if Gu Xiangzhu manages the "Guodan" brand well, he is likely to steadily absorb idle alchemists, and then the trouble may be big.

"call……"

Zhao Yong felt slightly relieved when he saw their reactions. It seemed that his words worked.

It's not even a matter of words, because he did have such a guess in his heart, but there was no substantial evidence.

He could almost decide.

Zhao Ci was simply brought out as a sacrifice to stir up trouble.

Father got the pill at a reduced price.

It is possible for Concubine Jing to gain a foothold in the alchemy world.

Only Zhao Ci's achievements were directly reduced to negative results.

very pitiful.

But this idiot can really stir up the water and make people unable to sympathize with him.

Zhao Yong asked in a deep voice: "What do you two think?"

Feng Buyi spread his hands: "Your Highness! Our Feng family's main industry is animal taming, and the elixirs are the same as those of the Yang family. If the price is lowered, we can lower the price even if we grit our teeth. The Feng family's alchemist has been sent to Your Highness. , of course it is up to His Highness to decide whether to surrender or not.

But your highness, you have to think about it. Even selling elixirs at a lower price than the standard price can still be regarded as part of the merit.

But from now on, the officials under your government will not be able to live solely on the salaries of low-level officials. If the salary is reduced too much..."

He didn't finish the sentence, but it was self-evident.

The first task for most princes and princes after opening a government is to start a business, because the salary is so low that they can't do anything with just that little money.

In order to reduce the price of the elixir, Zhao Huan would naturally compensate for some of the reduced profits, but with little success.

If Zhao Yong has greatly reduced his profits for the sake of merit, how can he support his officials?

Zhao Yong gritted his teeth: "But if I can't get orders from the imperial court, where will my achievements come from? Brother Feng, don't forget why the Feng and Zhu families sent elite clansmen to my house."

Feng Buyi was silent, he felt very pained.

Congratulations, but he coughed twice: "Your Highness, actually we don't have to be so entangled."

Zhao Yong frowned slightly: "But please listen to your advice!"

Congratulations took out the booklet from his arms and said with a smile: "Your Highness may have forgotten that the imperial court purchased this elixir for the army. The officers and soldiers in the army worked hard not only for the low-grade Qi-training elixirs, but also for the middle-grade and high-grade pills." Less proportion.

What is the strength of Xiang's Danfang?There are only three or four people who can refine the middle-grade Qi-training pills, and the others who can refine the lower-grade ones can all be treated as their own.

Therefore, it doesn’t matter if we lose some money on low-grade elixirs, but there is not much need to reduce the price of mid-grade and high-grade pills. "

Zhao Yong's face softened slightly, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with what he said.

The price of low-grade Qi-training pills has been reduced. I have an explanation to my father, and I hope the Feng family will not be too embarrassed.

He nodded: "It makes sense! If that's the case, then let's do it. In this Gongdan Conference, your two families don't have to lower the prices at all. In our Yonghe Danfang, the price of low-grade Qi Liandan will be reduced, and the price of medium-grade and high-grade pills will depend on the situation. Certainly.

To what extent it can be achieved, the three families need to sit down and discuss it carefully. This time, the title of 'Guodan' must be mine..."

While talking, he signaled to the groom that he could leave.

The carriage rumbled forward, and the atmosphere in the carriage gradually became more relaxed.

Don’t blame the emperor for his omissions.

The main reason is that the strength of the two sides is too disparate.

The strength of Xiang's alchemy studio can only be compared with Qi Lian Dan, and even Qi Lian Dan is on average a full level lower than the three alchemy masters.

Unless overnight, the collective achievements of the alchemists under the name of Xiang's Alchemy Fang soared.

But is that possible?
Even if it were possible, their production couldn't keep up, so how many orders could they grab?

Laughing!
……

"Zhao Ci! Zhao Ci!"

Zhu Li waited there for a long time. When she saw Zhao Ci coming out, she angrily went forward to greet him.

Zhao Ci couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw her weird posture.

This girl was obviously hungry just now.

But you are hungry.

Shouldn't it be covering the stomach?

What does it mean when you rub your chest?
Can you still be hungry and breastfeed?
He asked curiously: "What's wrong with you?"

Zhu Li said angrily: "Isn't it because of you?"

Zhao Ci was startled for a moment, and subconsciously put his hands behind his back: "I fell asleep when you were poisoned, but it wasn't me!"

Zhu Li: "???"
