Wang Gouyu looked envious, looked at the young man who walked into the palace with the gatekeeper, and said to others: "Who is that guy, how can the palace guards be so respectful to him?" ”

The others glanced at Wang Gouyu with disdain: "I don't even know the famous perfume merchant Li Yuanyu, you just came back to Pyongyang?" ”

This young talent who got off the luxurious carriage was none other than Li Yin, who had been invited by King Rongliu.

As soon as Li Yin walked into the gate of the palace, many people greeted him, most of them were beautiful women.

In the past few months, he has made good progress through the project of "private customization" perfume, and has made many women and collected a lot of useful information.

However, in this process, not everything can go as expected, what makes Li Yin feel distressed the most is that there are some women who are like wolves and tigers, who have ulterior motives for him, and do everything possible to tease him, if it is not for his firm mind, I am afraid that he will fall.

"Are you Li Yuanyu? My lord, please come and go. Just when Li Yin was wandering around the palace, a pretty-looking maid came to him.

Li Yin asked, "Your adult is ......?"

"You'll find out with me." The maid spoke, and then took the lead and walked forward.

Li Yin saw that this maid was talking so mysteriously, and he didn't want to go, but he saw that there were a few more big men with weapons behind him, so in order to avoid extraneous branches, he had to follow the maid.

After walking around for a while, the maid stopped in a house, "My lord, Li Yuanyu has arrived." ”

"Come in." A majestic voice came from inside the room.

The maid opened the door and made a "please enter" gesture to Li Yin, Li Yin felt that no one should do anything drastic at the 100-day banquet of the son of the king of Rongliu, so he walked in without fear.

Inside the room, there was an elderly man sitting upright, quite imposing, and at a glance he knew that he was a person who had been in power for a long time, and he was staring at Li Yin with bright eyes at this time, as if he wanted to see him through.

Li Yin asked suspiciously, "I don't know what you should call it?" ”

The old man said slowly: "The old man is too Zuo. ”

Li Yin was shocked in his heart, and thought to himself: "What are you looking for me to do with this powerful minister of Goryeo?" ”

"Can you sell your perfume formula to the old man?" Yuan Taizuo said straightforwardly.

Li Yin thought for a while, "What good do I have to sell it to you?" That's where I built my family. ”

Yuan Taizuo continued to say in a steady tone: "One, I can give you a satisfactory official position or honor, and second, those people who can afford to buy perfume in Goryeo, the profit you make now must not be as much as at the beginning, if you give the recipe to my Yuan family, we can sell the perfume to other countries, and the profit will be much greater, and then we can give you some money from the profits every year." ”

Li Yin said: "Deal, however, I hope that the formula can be delayed for another two months before handing it over to you, first, the existing formula is complex and diverse, and it will take some time to summarize, and second, I hope to make more money for two more months." ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Yuan Taizuo's eyes, but he still nodded and said, "It's no problem, I hope you don't regret it in two months and become the enemy of my Yuan family." ”

Li Yin said: "How is this possible, unless I don't want to die." He smiled and stood up, "If it's okay, I won't bother you." ”

Yuan Taizuo nodded slightly, then closed his eyes, and Li Yin immediately retreated.

"Father, I think there might be something wrong with this person." After Li Yin left, a young man walked out from behind the screen, this young man is only nine years old now, and it is Yuan Gai Suwen, the son of Yuan Taizuo.

If the history does not change in the future, this Yuangai Suwen will kill the then king Gao Jianwu thirty years later, and then support a puppet to come to power, and control all the military affairs of Goryeo.

Yuan Taizuo smiled: "What's the problem? ”

"From his words, I feel that he will not give us the recipe of the perfume at all. ”

Yuan Taizuo laughed: "I also think he doesn't want to give us the formula, but does he dare not give it?" ”

With strong self-confidence, Yuan Taizuo didn't think that Li Yin, a small wealthy businessman, would dare to play any tricks with him, because he was the head of the Yuan family, and he was powerful enough to compete with King Gao Yuan in Goryeo.

Yuan Gai Suwen was speechless, but he always felt as if something was wrong, and he couldn't think of it if he didn't give it.

When he walked outside the house, he sneered in his heart, "Two months later? Hey ......"

In short, Li Yin will not hand over the formula of the perfume to others.

The dinner party was held quickly, and after Li Yin ate some things casually, he felt a little bored, and when he was about to leave, he was stopped again, "The prince will invite you to a small banquet later, please don't leave so quickly." ”

Li Yin's face showed helplessness, "It seems that there is no good banquet!" ”

Li Yin felt that he didn't have any friendship with King Rongliu, and since King Rongliu wanted to keep him at this time, there would definitely be nothing good.

Sure enough, when he was taken to a side hall later, he saw that all the people present were rich merchants from Pyongyang City, and he knew that this King Rongliu was going to cut wool.

Li Yin's guess was very correct, and when the resolute King Rongliu appeared here, he only took a sip of tea, and said: "Now that the soldiers on the front line are fighting very hard, and the country's materials are also very tight, as a member of my Goryeo Kingdom, can you just enjoy yourself here with peace of mind and do nothing?" ”

"I am willing to donate three thousand taels of silver!" A wealthy merchant immediately understood the meaning of King Rongliu in seconds, and took the lead in shouting.

The others were not far behind, and they all said the amount they wanted to donate, and Li Yin naturally shouted a reasonable amount, no more, no less.

After a while, the total amount of money donated by the rich merchants reached nearly 100,000 taels, and King Rongliu was quite satisfied with this result, thinking that if it was not enough, he could ask them for money again, so he embarrassed everyone and let the rich merchants leave.

With a few thousand taels of silver in vain, Li Yin's mood was a little depressed, and after walking out of the palace, when he was about to get into the carriage and leave, he was stopped by someone again.

Li Yin was bored for a while, and thought to himself: "Why are these people like rushing to the market, and they have made an appointment to blackmail me together?" ”

But when Li Yin turned his head and saw that it were two cute little Loli who stopped him at this time, his originally very unkind face immediately changed, and he said with a smile: "Do you have anything to do with me?" ”

The two little loli stretched out their fingers and pointed to a big carriage not far away, and said in unison: "Our princess is looking for you." ”
