The guests were all gone, and Wu Lao Er sat alone in the study of the palace. Although there is not a single book, the quietness of the study is what Wu Lao Er wants. Playing with a few gold coins in his hand, listening to the clanging sound of the gold coins, Wu Lao Er made a difficult choice in his heart. Li Dong was angry and resentful for a day, but the backing behind him should not be underestimated, and he was backed by the palace, so it was not difficult to take him down, but there were a lot of follow-up hands. The other people are not evil, even if they want to develop, they don't want to be a person who does all kinds of evil in this life.

"Well, I have a headache." Wu Lao Er muttered, got up and went to find the head of the knight.

The knights who came to Daye City with Wu Lao Er were not ordinary soldiers, they were the Imperial Yulin Army, which was known as the strongest army in the world. This time King Zhao was sealed, and the current emperor selected 200 Yulin guards, and these 200 people will also withdraw from the Yulin Army in the future and officially become King Zhao's followers.

"What about General Zhou?" Wu Lao Er asked a passing knight, their head was named Zhou Ji, who was actually a junior colonel of the Yulin Army.

"I went outside the city to find the garrison of Daye City, and Manager Wu is looking for Captain Zhou? It's the same with the small ones. ”

Like Wu Lao Er, Zhou Ji came to Daye City first with a mission. He was responsible for contacting the government and Jinyiwei, while Zhou Ji was to contact the garrison to ensure the safety of King Zhao in Daye City in the future. Don't think that a prince is not very important, in this world, if there is a large-scale war, the prince can go out on behalf of the king.

"Well, that's good, you can call two more brothers in a while, accompany me to the mansion, and then I have something for you to do."

"Okay, when are we leaving?"

"Now, go ahead."

The soldier promised to find someone, and Wu Lao Er walked down the street.

When someone came to the mansion, someone went in to report, and after Zhao Jun, the city lord of Daye City, took his subordinates and the master's staff to greet him in person, and Wu Lao Er and a few people came to the lobby of the mansion with a few polite words.

"Knowing that Manager Wu only arrived last night, after discussing with several colleagues, I originally planned to set up a banquet tonight to receive the wind and dust for Manager Wu, but I didn't expect Manager Wu to come to the door first, I am really rude."

Zhao Jun was extremely polite, which made Wu Lao Er not very adaptable, no matter where he went, he was not a popular character from others. Especially the chief officer of such an important military fortress as Daye City, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is more important than King Zhao's identity in this city, but he is not respected by King Zhao's identity.

"The city lord is polite, where do you dare to be a small one." Wu Lao Er paused and continued: "I should have come to visit you early, but I came here at the beginning of the next year, and there are many things to arrange, so I can spare time at this time, my lords." After the Heavenly Lord comes in a few days, I will find an opportunity to make good arrangements for all the adults. ”

Wu Lao Er's words were extremely humble, and at the same time pointed out that he would invite everyone to a banquet after King Zhao came over, and he also had the intention of making several friends. Zhao Jun and the others nodded, indicating that they could.

After some greetings, someone spoke: "Chief Manager Wu just arrived in Daye City last night, and today he called the heads of the four major gangs in the city to talk, I don't know."

Wu Lao Er glanced at the person who spoke, Zhao Jun introduced this person just now, saying that it was Zhao Jun's staff, called Zhao Xiang. I saw that this person was about 1.7 meters tall, with a feminine appearance, two mustaches on his lips, and no beard under his chin. Wearing a dark green scribe's robe, his head is tied in a bun, and his hand is cranked with a folding fan. Wu Lao Er saw that this person had a traitorous face, and the question was quite rude, so he turned his head and glanced at Zhao Jun. It's a pity that Zhao Jun lowered his head and fiddled with the teacup in his hand as if he didn't know, but everyone else looked at Wu Lao Er, waiting for his answer.

Wu Lao Er didn't know what Zhao Jun meant, did he accidentally touch his interests? No, I didn't get involved in the interests at all. But Zhao Jun is a disciple of the family, and he has a ravine, otherwise he would not be arranged to be the city lord of such an important place as Daye City.

After thinking about it, Wu Lao Er showed an unknown smile on his face and said, "Mr. Zhao is so well-informed, but it is not a big deal. The prince sent Wu to take care of the affairs of the palace, but Wu was unfamiliar with the place and felt that he had no way to start, so he invited a few helpers to ask them to help him. ”

Zhao Xiang looked at Wu Lao Er and smiled weirdly: "So that's what happened." In fact, if the palace lacks something, just tell Lord Zhao directly, if the government is here to help, no matter what is missing, you have to hurry up, Mr. Wu, don't you say? ”

Wu Lao Er understood a little, nodded and said: "What Mr. Zhao said is that I just felt that it was not good to trouble the city lord when I first came, so I asked these ground snakes to help." ”

Zhao Xiang shook the folding fan in his hand and said slowly: "Manager Wu thinks too much, the prince eats in this city, which is the blessing of the city lord and all the people, what trouble is there." If there is anything in the future, even if Manager Wu comes to find him, he will be able to do it properly, so why bother Manager Wu to deal with such villains, wouldn't he lose his identity as a prince. ”

Wu Lao Er understood, thinking that these four gangs had great interests entanglement with the government, and Zhao Jun was afraid that he would pull the four gangs to the side of the palace, so he made a traitor come out and beat himself.

After thinking about it, Wu Lao Er turned his head and nodded at Zhao Jun and said: "I understand, in fact, the palace has no intention of dealing with such characters in the future, but at the beginning of the next year, I need to use them." He said to Zhao Xiang again: "Mr. Zhao, you can rest assured, Wu came today, firstly, to visit the city lord of Zhao and the gentlemen of the government, and secondly, there is really something I want to trouble you" Wu Lao Er stopped talking when he said this.

Zhao Xiang looked at Zhao Jun, Zhao Jun nodded and said to Wu Laoer: "Where is Mr. Wu, in the future, you and I will live under the rule of the prince, just open your mouth if you have something." ”

Wu Lao Er hurriedly said: "What did the adults say, didn't the prince ask the adults to help him after he came?" Now I want the adults to help the palace find a way to make money, so as not to reprimand the prince for doing things badly after he comes. ”

After the prince of the White Jade Empire was sealed, the palace would not allocate additional funds every year in addition to the normal rewards, so all the expenses used by the palace were negotiated between the palace and the local government, and a special transaction was made by the palace, and other merchants would arrive at the palace to transfer the goods to the palace, and then the palace would pay off the money. The ultimate purpose of Wu Laoer's coming today is for this business, but the local government will not hand over the best business to the palace, he just wants to discuss it, just don't give the worst.

Zhao Jun pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, since I received the holy decree that the prince wanted to come to Daye City, this official has discussed this matter with his colleagues. Originally, it was to hand over the most important grain trade in the city to the palace, but recently, the Black Jade Kingdom was about to move, and there were constantly small-scale confrontations ahead, and the official was afraid that cutting off the grain business of the merchants at this time would cause turmoil among the people in the city, so he planned to hand over the silk cloth business to the palace, what does Chief Wu think? ”

The so-called clothing, food, housing and transportation, the silk business in this great city is also excellent. It's just that Wu Lao Er knows the difficulties of doing a silk business, and it is difficult for the palace to find people who are familiar with this industry for a while. Therefore, Wu Lao Er shook his head and said to Zhao Jun: "Lord Zhao, this silk business is a good business, but the palace does not have the manpower and experience in this area, and I plan to do the medicine business." The palace specially assigned two imperial doctors to Zhao Wangye to take care of the prince's body, and he felt that with such imperial doctors, the medicine business must be easier. ”

Zhao Jun nodded, thinking that this Manager Wu still has some brains, and knows what he can and can't do. So he nodded and agreed: "What Manager Wu said is very true, can you use it well if you have a palace doctor." ”

Wu Lao Er and Zhao Jun looked at each other and laughed.

After laughing, Zhao Jun said first: "In this case, the official turned around and posted the notice, and then notified him from house to house, and let each medicine store go to hand over to Mr. Wu, what do you think?" ”

"Then thank you Lord Zhao, thank you for the prince below." Wu Lao Er clasped his fists at everyone and said with a smile.

"What did Manager Wu say, isn't this a matter of his own office?"

The two laughed together, and everyone in the hall laughed too.

The business of the medicine store is not a big deal, Wu Lao Er asked for such a business, which was much to the surprise of everyone present, and no one could have imagined that he would ask for such a business with little income on behalf of the palace. You must know that the business of the royal government will not pay taxes to the local government, so the government will pay much less money to the court every year. Not to mention the impact on their political performance, it also affects the income of some people. Wu Lao Er had other plans, but it was not something that these people could think of. It's just that he chose the medicine business, but it made everyone very happy.

Everyone laughed for a while, and Wu Lao Er looked at everyone's expressions and said, "There is still one more thing to trouble everyone."

Zhao Jun said with a smile: "Manager Wu, please say it, but if you can do it, you will not disappoint Manager Wu." ”

Wu Lao Er thanked him first, and then said: "You adults may not know, the prince can only take out a hundred gold coins when he comes over this time, and the prince is about to come out to eat as soon as he is sealed, so" Wu Lao Er paused, sighed and said: "It is estimated that the prince can get three hundred or four hundred gold coins at most when he comes to Daye City, and there are so many people in the palace to raise, I don't think that the business of the medicine store can be raised, therefore"

Wu Lao Er didn't finish his words, everyone in the hall, including Zhao Jun, looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, I didn't expect Wu Lao Er to say such a thing. There are even two people who think about it again, is this guy surnamed Wu still planning to have another business?

Wu Lao Er didn't give them much time to think, and after reading everyone's expressions, he hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, since you have already asked for a business, you will never think about asking for another business, not to mention that there is no such reason in the world, even Wu himself is definitely not such a despicable villain." ”

One person really couldn't stand talking in such a fog, and said loudly: "What does Manager Wu mean, just say it, let's all do it carefully, and the province can guess and guess like this, it's not straightforward." ”

Everyone looked at Wu Lao Er, and this guy smiled awkwardly: "What do you mean, can Lord Zhao and all of you think of a way to save the palace from paying back the money after taking over the business?" ”

Originally, after the palace took over the business, the drugs were to be received together, and when the palace had income, the money would be slowly repaid to the original medicine store. What Wu Lao Er means is whether the palace can not pay back the money, to put it bluntly, it doesn't even cost money to bring herbs to the store, etc., and takes it for nothing.

None of the people present thought that Wu Lao Er would say such a thing, and they were all shocked and couldn't speak. This man just said that he was not a despicable villain, and he gave so many people a stick when he turned around. Yes, it's not despicable, it's shameless!

"This, this, this" Zhao Xiang didn't know how the head of the palace had a long brain, he really wanted to cut it open and take a look, how could he say it if he was so shameless? If you don't pay back, so many proprietors of medicine stores can make it? What is the prestige of the government?

Zhao Xiang didn't hold back and said these words.

Wu Lao Er replied shyly: "Mr. Zhao and the adults have misunderstood, this is not what I mean, and it does not mean that I will not pay back the money, can I or not?"

Wu Laoer's pretentiousness made everyone present scratch their hearts as if a cat was scratching again. Wu Lao Er saw that it was almost over, so he continued: "Can you ask Lord Zhao to look at the face of the prince, pay this money in advance, and then return it to the government when the income of the palace is rich in the future." ”

As soon as Wu Lao Er finished speaking, everyone present was blindsided, and they were all scorched by his words, how did this guy come up with this shameless method? How did he come up with this shameless method?

Wu Lao Er saw that everyone was looking at him blankly, and smiled conceitedly, I am so shameless, I don't believe that you are embarrassed not to give this face
