The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 558: Opponent (2)
"He can't take care of himself now. The family of famous doctors has cut off the supply of medicinal materials to the army. The emperor intends to force Situ Zhanchen to return to Tiancheng. The emperor will not allow him to support himself outside!" Originally, after two years of Situ Zhanchen's With his own supply of medicinal materials, he did not expect that the Huayao shop has now been replaced by Leng Ping's medicine shop, coupled with the efforts of the famous doctor's family at this time, Situ Zhanchen was at a loss.

Leng Ping still felt that Hao Ren was taking risks.

"Now our personalities are reversed. Before, you always went forward boldly!" Seeing that she was still worried, Hao Ren couldn't help laughing.

"It is because I have done too many reckless things before that I start to think more, not to mention that this is not a trivial matter!" If you get caught in the emperor's arsenal, you will probably be charged with treason. Prince Lan is one of them. example!
"We can buy weapons in secret. Mo Zhengyuan must have such a source!" Leng Ping said, "We can't do things that are too dangerous!"

Seeing that Leng Ping really disagreed, Hao Ren could only nod his head.

Anyway, he is not short of money now. In the past two years, he has made a lot of money by exchanging copperware and copper plates. Part of it is used to buy land and houses, and the other part is used to build guards. They were still members of the Ruan family, but they were actually controlled by Hao Ren.

However, while Hao Ren was making money, he found that there seemed to be other people making money in the same way. He felt that there was another smart person in this world who had the same thoughts as him.

But that's good too, when something really happens, Hao Ren can share some of it.

Hao Ren's money-making plan was actually to turn copper plates into copper wares and earn the difference. From this point of view, it seemed like a serious business, but it was actually stealing the country's money.

There are fewer copper plates in the world, and the exchange with silver will naturally be less. The only thing that the people turn over to the treasury is silver. Two years ago, silver could be exchanged for [-] copper plates, but now there are only [-]. In this way, the silver in the treasury has depreciated. And the value of the copper plate has risen. Maybe the court has not noticed anything in the past few years, but if it has suffered a lot of losses, it will naturally find out.

Therefore, Hao Ren's money can't be revealed. Using money to buy weapons will easily leak the news, and secondly, it will easily expose the money-raising plan.

Hao Ren disagreed.

In addition, Leng Ping has also bought a lot of land now, and now all of them are planted with medicinal materials. Most of the medicinal materials in the medicine shop are almost self-sufficient, and the quality is guaranteed. Coupled with Ge Laogao's reputation, the business of the medicine shop is booming.

Planting medicinal materials, making medicines, and opening medicine shops all require a large number of talents. Almost all skilled people in several nearby towns gather in Licheng. After two years of development, the development of Licheng far exceeds that of several nearby towns cities.

Last year, Li Yanzhen wrote a letter to the emperor to commend Hao Ren.

The three-year period is coming up, and Hao Ren might raise his salary.

Hao Ren is afraid to avoid things that others can't dream of.

Now everything he has in Licheng has been established with his hard work, and he doesn't want to give up, besides, he feels that he is not strong enough.

Something happened in Licheng, just to discredit his perfect political achievements, so he doesn't have to leave Licheng next year!

Hao Ren still planned to do this, but changed his strategy.

In recent years, there have been constant wars, feudal lords are at odds, and the people have suffered. Many cults have gradually sprung up. Under the banner of pleading for the people, they actually want to rebel. Leave it to these cults.

One month later, Li Yanzhen received a letter from Hao Ren. The iron mine incident in Licheng immediately attracted Li Yanzhen's attention, and he hurriedly reported it to the emperor.

At this moment in the imperial study room, the emperor looked at Li Yanzhen's book and was surprised, but he didn't show it at all.

"I never imagined that my dynasty would be so rich, and there would be so many iron mines!" The emperor said with a half smile, "Aiqing, I will send someone to deal with this matter!"

Li Yanzhen was more serious, "Your Majesty, maybe there is someone imitating Prince Lan and wanting to usurp the throne. Your Majesty, you must not tolerate it. I am willing to go!"

The emperor held his breath, but he still said: "You are a civil servant, these are not your business, I will send another person to go, well, I am tired, you step down!"

Li Yanzhen had no choice but to back down.

When Li Yanzhen entered the house, he met his son Li Chencheng. Now that Li Chencheng has won the Juren, the emperor granted him an exception to allow him to study in the Imperial Academy, which can be regarded as compensation for Mrs. Li's affairs.

The emperor considered Li Yanzhen well, after all, Li Yanzhen is a minister, the emperor is the emperor, and the emperor is not wrong!
But looking at her son, Li Yanzhen still felt uncomfortable.

In the past two years, the emperor treated him kindly on the surface, but secretly did not trust him.

The emperor trusted Ruan Ji and Liu Huan more.

Thinking of this, Li Yanzhen sighed, greeted his son, and entered the study.

In the study there are several high-quality Duan inkstones, which were sent by Hao Ren. In the past two years, Hao Ren always sent things from Licheng. Hao Ren's salary is not much, but he married a good wife. Leng Ping is an apprentice of Ge Laogao, and now she is a cooperative pharmacist of Xinhetang, an imperial medicine supply medicine company. unique respect.

If two years ago, Li Yanzhen would have looked down on Leng Ping and would have let Hao Ren take care of his wife, but now, Li Yanzhen has seen through the world, and she has a more cherished feeling for Hao Ren, a student who is in trouble together. .

As long as Hao Ren's happiness is enough!
Li Yanzhen wrote back to Hao Ren with a duan inkstone, telling the emperor's arrangement.

At the same time, Prince Fu's Mansion also received a secret report.

Prince Fu hurriedly summoned the diners to discuss. He could not go out for the past six months, and he had to rely on the diners for many things.

"My lord, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" said one of the retainers named Sheng Neng. He came to Prince Fu's mansion a year ago, and he had several good ideas, so Prince Fu trusted him very much.

"What good opportunity?" Prince Fu asked calmly.

"Your Majesty has betrayed his promise, and he treats you like this. Naturally, you can no longer care about the brotherly relationship. You have to find a way to protect yourself! My lord, look at the mighty lord's ability. Even if the emperor doesn't come back with twelve gold medals, what can the emperor do with him? Why don’t you obediently send Shoutao to him, and praise him for his hard work? The emperor is bullying the prince, and he can’t go out for half a year!” That Sheng Neng is a rough man, who speaks straightforwardly, but is very reasonable. On Prince Fu's heart, his face flushed red.

"No, my lord. Now the emperor is dissatisfied with my lord. My lord should keep a low profile and let the emperor relax his vigilance. You can't act too hastily!" Sheng Neng is a radical, and naturally there are conservatives. Those who supported Prince Fu to assist the emperor, who knew that the emperor would betray his promise and secretly raise an illegitimate child outside!
