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

Chapter 70: You are the sixth child, but you also want to steal a house?
I heard Xiang Yunduan coming.

Zhao Huan immediately looked at the veteran aside: "Liu Qing, I still have important matters to deal with. We will discuss this later!"

"His Majesty……"

The veteran minister named Liu choked for a moment, but seeing Zhao Huan's firm attitude, he could only nod his head and said: "Yes!"

Say it.

Then he slowly retreated.

When I left the Imperial Study Room, I happened to meet Xiang Yunduan. They bowed to each other and passed by each other.

"Caomin Xiang Yunduan pays homage to His Majesty!"

Xiang Yunduan still had a turbulent look and saluted loudly. Although he was the one with the highest status in Linge of the Xiang family, he did not hold any actual position, so he habitually called himself a commoner.

"Quick gift!"

Zhao Huan smiled and said: "My eldest companion, give General Xiang a seat."

Xiang Yunduan took the chair from Eunuch Li, thanked him and sat down.

Zhao Huan asked with a faint smile: "Yunduan, you went back this morning before you were full of sleep. Why don't you catch up on your sleep?"

"I've slept all morning, and I'm already full."

Xiang Yunduan laughed loudly: "Did that boy from Buci'er come to your door? He asked me to help build wine-making equipment, so he gave me the blueprints. I thought about helping, but after looking for a long time, I didn't even see the doorway, so I just wanted to ask your craftsmen for help."

"Oh?"

Zhao Huan was slightly happy. He thought it would go smoothly, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth.

Then he smiled and said: "Gu is also very knowledgeable about utensils. Let me take a look at the drawings first. If I can figure out the way, I won't bother those skilled craftsmen to come forward."

"This is not bragging..."

Xiang Yunduan lashed out subconsciously, remembering that the person in front of him was the emperor, and quickly shut up.

Zhao Huan was not angry either. Although this man came from a famous family, he had been hanging out with those soldiers since he was a child, and he had never kept his mouth shut.

He took the drawing and opened it expectantly. He was also very curious about how Zhao Ci cracked the wine refining technique that many people had tried but failed.

As a result, when they opened the drawing, others were dumbfounded.

This is……

A device for refining wine?
Isn't this just an iron box?
He couldn't help but look at Xiang Yunduan: "Yunduan, this..."

Xiang Yunduan laughed loudly and said: "Your Majesty! I said you can't understand it, right? I was wondering in the morning whether square pots are more suitable for cooking wine than round ones."

Look at his carefree look.

Zhao Huan dismissed the doubts in his heart, frowned and pondered for a while, and handed the drawing to Eunuch Li beside him: "My eldest companion! You give this drawing to Master Shi, and ask him to make the utensils for refining wine, and help Ci It’s my business.”

Eunuch Li: "..."

No!

Aren’t you asking me to be scolded by Master Shi?

Ok!

You are the emperor and you are right.

He took the drawing, replied "yes", and left.

Xiang Yunduan also stood up: "Your Majesty, you are willing to help that boy, so I feel relieved, but the clan's mansion..."

Zhao Huan smiled lightly: "Don't worry, I can still open this small stove for Ci'er."

"In this case, then the common people will resign!"

Xiang Yunduan looked pleased, bowed, and left the imperial study.

Zhao Huan shook his head, with a hint of gloom in his eyes.

He is not stupid. If this iron box can produce alcohol, his throne will be given to a dog.

There must be something else needed in this iron box.

So, there are two possibilities.

First, Zhao Ci still needs another craftsman to make the utensils in the iron box.

Another possibility is that Zhao Ci deliberately hides his secrets.

After careful consideration, the first scenario should be unlikely, because he paid close attention to Zhao Ci's movements and there was no possibility of contact with other craftsmen.

That can only be the second type.

It's just that this situation surprised him.

After all, he underestimated how Gu Xiangzhu could make Zhao Ci become so cautious.

After all, Gu Xiangzhu used to be very rough in managing relationships with the Xiang family. He usually only had contact with the people in charge of the Xiang family's industry, and almost ignored Xiang Yunduan.

Moreover, she is not Zhao Ci's biological mother, so she naturally doesn't care. She probably doesn't know much about the relationship between Zhao Ci and Xiang Yunduan.

This time he was able to react so quickly, and even persuaded Zhao Ci to be on guard against Xiang Yunduan.

Such scheming is really admirable.

I just don’t know how Zhao Ci can mass-produce utensils without Xiang Yunduan?
It doesn't matter...

Zhao Huan shook his head. Zhao Ci was his son no matter what. Regardless of whether Gu Xiangzhu could steal the wine refining technique, he was sure to get the wine refining technique in the end.

At worst, it will be made public by then. As long as the price of Qi Lian Dan falls sharply, he will always be the winner.

Just thinking that Zhao Ci listened to Gu Xiangzhu's words in this way made him feel a little gloomy.

at this time.

"Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince wishes to see you!"

"Xuan!"

Soon.

Zhao Yong stepped in from all directions and bowed respectfully: "My son, I pay homage to my father!"

Zhao Huan frowned slightly: "Aren't you asked to face the wall at home for a day?"

"Go back to the emperor!"

Zhao Yong hurriedly said: "After my son returned yesterday, he kept reflecting on what he had done, and he really regretted it. My father punished my son to face the wall, which was a sign of deep love and responsibility, but it was just a way for my son to forgive his regrets.

But since Erchen has already done something wrong, how can he make up for it by facing a wall for a day?

So I... want to make up for my mistakes! "

"Oh?"

Zhao Huan looked at him with interest: "How do you want to make up for it?"

Zhao Yong hurriedly said: "My son, I heard Lao Shi plead for the people yesterday and take 20 taels of elixirs to supplement the people. I really admire him. After returning home, I felt more and more ashamed, thinking about how I could do something for the people. After thinking about it, I found that there were many young people from the Zhu family and the Feng family in Danfang, so I contacted their boss in Linge through them.

My son, Xiaozhi, is moved by reason and emotion, and the two principals are also reasonable. They are willing to give three thousand Qi training pills each and donate the pills together with Lao Shi to benefit the people! "

Hear this.

A meaningful smile suddenly appeared on Zhao Huan's lips. After sitting on the throne for such a long time, he couldn't understand the implication.

The total number of pills donated by the two families was [-], which was exactly one thousand more than Zhao Ci. If his prediction was correct, as long as he nodded, Zhao Yong would immediately ask the emperor to give him pills and win over Zhao Ci. After all, this time Zhao Ci But it stole the show.

He also came from the princes, and he really knew what these princes were thinking.

but……

He frowned: "Yong'er, your Yonghe Danfang is also a rare large-scale alchemy workshop in Dayu. Now the Feng family, the Zhu family and the Xingyu Danhui are willing to donate elixirs, you..."

Hearing this, Zhao Yong's scalp went numb.

He has also thought about this problem, but now he already owes a lot of merit. Wouldn't it be a cut of his flesh to donate pills again?
But now that Zhao Huan has said this, he can only bite the bullet and smile: "I also want to donate a thousand pieces. Although the current situation of Yonghe Danfang is not good, for the people of Dayu, it is worth my hard work." . I only hate that I am not capable enough. If I had Lao Shi’s medicine, I could help the people more.”

Only then did Zhao Huan reveal a smile: "Thank you for your hard work!"

I want to ask for credit, how can I do it without shedding some blood?
This child is still too young.

However, in this way, a total of 1 Qi Training Pills, although they are all low-grade, are enough to train [-] middle-aged people into masters in the physical realm.If ordinary people's families could bear more of the burden themselves, an extra six thousand would not be a problem.

Although it is impossible for all of them to join the army, even if they work as rangers among the people, or join a small local force, it is still more reassuring than being attached to a big family.

This time I did nothing to get such a big benefit, which is really a great joy.

"This is what my son should do!"

Zhao Yong responded with a smile, thought for a moment and suddenly said: "By the way, Father! I used to think that Lao Shi was mediocre and weak, but I didn't expect that he was dedicated to serving the people and actually developed the method of refining wine. If this technology can Used in major alchemy shops, it will definitely benefit the people, Lao Shihe..."

Zhao Huan frowned: "What? You want to take away the technology developed by others?"

"My son doesn't dare!"

Zhao Yong quickly said: "That is Lao Shi's hard work. How can I dare to ask for it in vain? I just see that my father is worried about Dayu day and night, and thinks about regaining his homeland day and night. This wine refining technology is just right." It is a good medicine for my father’s heart disease, so..."

Zhao Huan looked at him with interest: "Oh?"

Zhao Yong felt like a thorn in his back: "Father! I don't have any selfish motives, let alone targeting Lao Shi. Lao Shi himself is here for merit. If he is willing to use his craftsmanship to benefit the people, he is the father of the emperor." Granted him hundreds of achievements, his sons and ministers have no complaints."

Of course, he knew that Zhao Huan could not give Zhao Ci hundreds of achievements.

Even if Zhao Huan is willing, he does not have this authority, and it is impossible for the clan government to agree.

Even if this kind of folk craft is used, it will only deduct fifty points of merit at most.

Zhao Huan said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Don't worry! Such skills to benefit the people should be used to benefit the people, but this is Ci'er's thing after all. It is not easy for mother and son to live in Linge, and let them Earn more money and achievements, and it won’t be too late to make it public after the government struggle is over.”

When Zhao Yong heard this, he could only nod his head: "What my father said makes sense, but my son and minister are concerned about the people and have lost their sense of proportion!"

As he said this, his heart was full of jealousy.

At first, he even thought that this craft was specially used by Zhao Huan to perform meritorious service for Zhao Ci.

But after thinking about it, I feel that there are many errors and omissions in this statement. It is more likely that Zhao Ci created it himself, or that Concubine Jing...

But Zhao Huan was willing to put such a huge benefit in Zhao Ci's hands for three years.

He is jealous!

Zhao Huan saw the hint of jealousy between his brows and eyes, and felt helpless. I don't have the craftsmanship, so there's no point in making it public!

call……

Zhao Yong let out a breath, cleared away his jealous emotions, and prepared to talk about the serious matter of the emperor's gift of elixirs.

But he never thought that as soon as he opened his mouth, a voice came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, the tenth prince wants to see you!"

"Ok?"

Zhao Yong's heart skipped a beat, he didn't expect the real master to be here.

The smile on Zhao Huan's face got even bigger: "This kid is here just in time for dinner. Let him come in quickly."

Soon.

Zhao Ci followed Eunuch Li in. Seeing that Zhao Yong was also in the imperial study, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it and saluted respectfully.

"My son-in-law pays respects to his father!"

"No gift for resigning!"

Zhao Huan stood up and held Zhao Ci's arm affectionately, which made Zhao Yong look even more jealous.

He asked softly: "Ci'er, you had a hard day yesterday, why did you come here so early?"

Zhao Cixin said: "My son was too busy some time ago, so I didn't have many meals with my father. Taking advantage of today's rest at the Xingyu Dan Club, I came here specifically to accompany my father."

When Zhao Huan heard this, he immediately beamed. Last night, he was worried that Gu Xiangzhu would tell Zhao Ci the truth in a rage, or even directly control Zhao Ci with puppetry. Although it was unlikely, it was not impossible.

But looking at Zhao Ci's natural expression and clear eyes, it should be fine.

"Good good!"

Zhao Huan smiled and said: "It just so happens that Brother Nine Emperors is here, let's have this meal together!"

Zhao Yong has a taste for food. Except for some important banquets, he has never had several home-cooked meals with Zhao Huan in his life. Unexpectedly, he had eaten twice in just a few days.

His mother was just rubbing up against Zhao Ci to eat.

I feel really bad!
It's like finally sleeping with the woman you like, but she says it's just the master's task.

Was interrupted by Zhao Ci.

Plus lunch has been served.

He also did not mention the matter of granting elixirs on behalf of the emperor for the time being.

One meal made him quite depressed.

On the contrary, Zhao Ci ate happily.

Wait till you are done eating.

Zhao Ci finally got to the point of the day: "By the way, father, I would like to talk to you about granting elixirs on behalf of the emperor."

When Zhao Yong heard this, he quickly said: "Father! It's a coincidence that we two brothers are here. I also want to talk to you about this matter!"

[Zhao Yong’s current wish]: To seize the position of the elixir-giving envoy.Reward for wish completion: Comprehension value +100, Clever Seizing Talisman X1.

Zhao Ci: "???"

No wonder it felt like something was wrong just now.

Why does Yongzi go to the imperial study without being put in solitary confinement?
It turns out that you want to be the sixth child and steal my house!
