Hu Xiancheng walked away miserable and sad, the wife and beautiful relatives were all slaves and maids, the floor was pried open to find hidden property, the prefect's promised conditions, almost the same did not materialize, and in the end Zhao Guanren spent money to bury him, and no relatives and friends dared to come to worship.

"The young master is back!"

Yu Niang stood in the gate to greet her, curiously looking at Luo Tan dressed in black, Zhao Guanren stepped in and said: "This is my female guard Luo Tan, let the little fat girl serve her, except for my study, she can move around at will!"

"Oh, Sister Luo, the slave family is a big girl......

Yu Niang laughed unsuspectingly, Luo Tan is also a woman with high emotional intelligence, and immediately took out a silver bracelet as a gift, the status of the concubines of large families is not high, like Zhao Guanren, a single Wang Lao Wu, the mansion is naturally the highest status of the big girl.

"Young Master, Zhang Tiansheng has already sent someone to find ......"

Yu Niang caught up and said: "The slave family helped him pay off his debts according to your instructions, and gave him the mansion at the east gate, Zhang Tiansheng has already picked up the old lady in the afternoon, and the three girls have gone over to serve, and he said that he will come to the door again tomorrow to thank him!"

"Let the three girls star, if Zhang Tiansheng dares to gamble again, I will discount his legs ......"

Zhao Guanren walked into the pavilion expressionlessly, Hu Xiancheng's death made him a little unhappy, and a table of sumptuous dishes was ready, and two fat girls stood in it ready to serve.

"Oops~"

Luo Tan sat on the stone bench and said with a smile: "After five years of errand, I either serve others or take care of myself, and I can finally be a young grandmother and be served by others!"

"Stand up! I didn't even sit down, I don't know the rules......"

Zhao Guanren scolded angrily, Luo Tan hurriedly jumped up in embarrassment, obediently walked behind him and kneaded his shoulders for him, and Zhao Guanren said: "Yu Niang!

"Hey!"

Yu Niang immediately took away the two fat girls, and Luo Tan asked in a low voice: "Master, you have been wandering all day, in addition to curing drugs, you also do not investigate the source of drugs, in case Chen Qianhu asks, how can you explain?"

"You don't need to talk about this, there is a white-clothed guard behind the wall of the east courtyard, go and break his legs......"

Zhao Guanren gently pursed his mouth, Luo Tan was startled at first, and after a little hesitation, he took the wine jug and lowered his head to the east courtyard, and after a while, he heard a scream, and a black shadow jumped out of the courtyard wall in embarrassment, and sprinkled a blood stain in the air.

"Lord Zhao! the villain is here......"

Han Dongsheng was suddenly led over by Yu Niang, just as Luo Tan walked back with a broken arm, his face suddenly changed, but Zhao Guanren waved his hand and smiled: "Don't be afraid! I just entered a thief, and my female guard went to deal with it!"

"This thief is also blind, and he dares to steal into the adult's mansion......"

Han Dongsheng walked into the pavilion with some trepidation, and Luo Tan didn't come over when he saw this, and walked to the toilet with his broken arm.

"Shopkeeper Han, please sit, let's chat while eating, feel free to ......"

Zhao Guanren poured him a glass of wine with his own hands, and said with a smile: "There are quite a few salt merchants in our county, but I haven't heard of any big salt merchants, salt merchants should be very profitable, do you know how they operate?"

"Ningzhou does not produce salt, naturally there are no big salt merchants, and the big salt merchants are all in the Huaiyang area......"

Han Dongsheng replied: "They have stationed a court in our county and batch the salt to each shop, so I just distribute it, and I can't earn a few big people, but the big salt merchants are responsible for transporting the grain to the border before they can get the salt from the salt department, and ordinary businessmen don't have such skills!"

"Come on, let's have a drink and eat a few more bites......"

Zhao Guanren took a wine glass and drank with him, and ate a few peanuts before asking: "If I want to buy the salt of the entire Ningzhou Mansion, regardless of the thickness, how much silver will it cost?"

"This ......"

Han Dongsheng hesitated: "At present, the purchase price is forty-five yuan for one catty of coarse salt, and one hundred and twenty yuan for one catty of fine salt, so how can the county have two hundred thousand catties."

Let's go, just pack the salt of our county for more than 10,000 taels of silver, and the villain of the entire state capital really can't count it!"

"Tsk~"

Zhao Guanren was speechless: "This salt is really expensive, no wonder the salt merchants are rich, how many days does it take to transport salt from Huaiyang, and how many people sell smuggled salt?"

"Do you want to check for illegal salt?"

Han Dongsheng said: "Huaiyang is not far from us, but the salt car is big and slow, it usually takes six or seven days to walk a trip, and there is private salt, but in the city, you don't dare to sell it blatantly, you usually sell it secretly in the township, and the yamen can check it strictly!"

"Go and help me do something, collect the salt ...... of Ningzhou Prefecture"

Zhao Guanren said with a smile: "Go and tell the salt merchant Chaofeng tomorrow morning, I have ordered a large batch of salt to cure the corpse plague from here, and I want to prepare more if I think it is easy to make money, I will give 50,000 taels of silver first, and then ask me to get it if it is not enough, and I must buy Ningzhou Mansion and Lantai County short!"

"Your Excellency!"

Han Dongsheng deserved to be a businessman, and immediately came back to his senses, and said nervously: "You, are you trying to raise the price of salt, this is a crime of killing your head!"

"Nonsense! How can this official raise the price of salt, salt is needed to rectify the corpse plague......"

Zhao Guanren waved his hand and said: "If the government openly collects salt, the price of salt will definitely skyrocket, and it will be the common people who will suffer at that time.

"Oops~"

Han Dongsheng stood up excitedly, bowed and said: "The villain misunderstood the adult, the adult is really a good official who is the master of the people, please accept the villain's worship!"

"Sit, I think it's a real person, so I entrusted this matter to ......."

Zhao Guanren pressed his hand and smiled: "But I can't let my work be in vain, I will borrow 5,000 taels of principal to set up two workshops, one work to make gas masks and gloves, and the other to make rock candy and alcohol, and I will give you the drawings later!"

"Uh~"

Han Dongsheng said with a confused face: "The mask and gloves villain knows, but what are rock candy and alcohol?"

"Just do it, I'll pack a Wanli ......"

Zhao Guanren said: "I have written all these things in the booklet, as well as a kind of medical gauze and plaster, these are all good things to cure diseases and save people, by the way! Is gunpowder such a thing controlled, and is there a workshop in the county that produces muskets?"

"The muskets are all antiques, and the craftsmanship has been lost......"

Han Dongsheng waved his hand and said: "Since the Xuan Qi began to circulate, the musket has lost its effect on the battlefield, and only the iron cannon can be used to defend the city, but the gunpowder should not be made privately, otherwise it will blow up the misfire and bring the neighbors, and the firecrackers are all government-run workshops!"

"That's ......"

Zhao Guanren nodded and said: "Introduce me to a reliable blacksmith shop, the technology must be good, and the people must be real, and then go and invite a few more guys, you must be willing to spend money to make a big deal, as long as you do it beautifully, I guarantee that the richest man in Lantai will be in the future!"

......

Zhao Guanren chatted with Han Dongsheng until more than nine o'clock in the evening, and the blood of Han Dongsheng's chat was boiling, he put away a stack of drawings close to him, and ran away on a little donkey like a thief, with tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets in his pocket.

"Master, the concubine is waiting for you to wash ......"

As soon as Zhao Guanren walked into the bedroom, Luo Tan greeted her coquettishly, she wore a pink gauze dress, which only had a big red mandarin duck belly pocket, and a pair of white trousers, and her long hair had been scattered, looking like a bird.

"Sister Luo just wash herself, young master doesn't have to worry about it......"

Yu Niang quickly killed from the outside, her eyes were fierce as if she was going to eat people, and the subtext was clearly that she could wave whatever she wanted, but the young master's daily life could only be served by this girl.

"Hehe~Okay! Don't rob it, big girl ......"

Luo Tan covered her mouth and smiled, and shouted outside: "Fat girl, come and wait for me to wash, bring a piece of good soap, wash it fragrantly, the master is comfortable to use!"

"Got it! Aunt Luo ......"

The fat girl ran in with something, there is a large screen in the bedroom, and it is easy to wash and can be operated behind the screen, and indecent things will not be seen by Zhao Guanren.

"Tan'er, I let me break my leg, how did I chop someone's hand......"

Zhao Guanren sat on the chair and lifted his legs, Yu Niang intimately helped him take off his shoes and socks, and Luo Tan squatted behind the screen and said: "The other party is very skilled, I quietly sneaked up to get it, but the man was dressed in black and masked, how did the master know that he was a white-clothed guard?"

"Nonsense! Except for the white-clothed guard, who would dare to sneak into my house and eavesdrop......"

Zhao Guanren peeled a lychee and fed it to Yu Niang, and asked, "Have you read that mental method, how about it?"

"Alas~ lighter, brush the pigskin......"

Luo Tan scolded angrily, and then said: "Go back to the master, the concubine has seen it, that exercise is rare among the people, but looking at Dashun, it can only be regarded as a second-rate product, and it is not as good as the library of the black-clothed guard!"

"Have you ever heard of a book called "Thunderbolt and Lightning Killing"......

Zhao Guanren suddenly remembered Zhao Ziqiang's unique mastery, when he got the jade tube of the exercises, he glanced at the title and the beginning, the beginning was a water bragging and adding vernacular, if it weren't for Zhao Ziqiang's no need to lie to him, he would definitely think that the goods were cheating on themselves again.

"Of course I know, one of the four banned books of this dynasty......"

Luo Tan walked out with his dirty pants and said with a smile: "That exercise is a joke, the first three stages do find another way, but you can't practice it at all in the back, if it's not good, the dantian will burst and die, and a lot of people will be killed back then!"

"Where do you see? I want to see it......

Zhao Guanren was full of suspicions in his heart, no matter how hateful Zhao Ziqiang was, he would not deliberately kill himself.

"Go to the yamen and ask, every year there are banned books that are confiscated......

Luo Tan got into the bed and took out a white gauze scarf, put it in the center of the bed and laid it out carefully, and then climbed on the bed and lay down a little shyly, posing as a charming look.

Seeing this, Yu Niang also begged: "Young master, the slave family also wants to sleep tonight, okay?"

'I'm going to go to the exercises tomorrow and see what went wrong......

Zhao Guanren's eyes rolled and he had a plan, and after washing his face casually, he got up and said, "Yu Niang! go wash up, I'll give Aunt Luo pajamas first, and then call after two degrees!"

"Hey, Young Master Xie......"

Yu Niang stood up in surprise, glared and said, "Aunt Luo, we are a big family, we should understand the rules, what are you doing lying down?"

"Understood! How can this not be understood......

Luo Tan jumped down and helped Zhao Guanren to the bed, knelt beside the bed and kowtowed and shouted: "The little wife Zhao Luoshi knocks on her husband and the master, and the little wife is willing to serve the master for the rest of her life, spread the branches and leaves for the Zhao family, extend the heirs, and hope that the master will have a lot of love!"

"Get up! Fight now that life is my Zhao family's people, and death is my Zhao family's ghost, understand......"

Zhao Guanren leaned against the head of the bed with a shelf, Luo Tan was in awe of him, crawled onto the bed with a crimson face, bent down and kissed him twice on the feet, and then dared to climb to his chest in shame.

'Nima!Chen Dezhi......'

Zhao Guanren was suddenly frightened, he actually found that Chen Dezhi jumped on the roof and was quietly lifting a tile to peek.

It seems that Chen Qianhu is not at ease with Luo Tan and comes over to supervise in person, but it is taboo for the black-clothed guard to fool around with his partner.

"That's it!"

Zhao Guanren hurriedly pushed Luo Tan away, and then said: "Don't play anymore when everyone is gone, go to Xiaoqi to sleep, don't break the rules!"

"Alas~ Don't let the next person in, it's so troublesome to sleep......"

Luo Tan complained smartly, and hurriedly climbed to the couch to turn off the lights and pretend to sleep, Chen Dezhi cats for a while before secretly leaving, if it weren't for Zhao Guanren's soul-chasing eyes, with this guy's skills, no one would find out.

"The person is gone, come and lick the old man's feet first......"

"Hee-hee~Coming......"
