looked at Queen Yi'an, whose face was constantly changing, and saw the aggrieved expression on Princess Le'an's face. The corners of Wei Zheng's mouth flashed with an imperceptible sneer.

In Wei Zheng's eyes, since it is impossible to refuse this marriage from the imperial court. Then you have to find a way to turn Princess Le'an into your own.

Not only that, but the imperial court was caught off guard by giving him a marriage for five million taels of silver. Then I will buy one and get one free for the court, and leave Empress Yi'an behind. Of course, the reason why Empress Yi'an was left was also the selfishness in Wei Zheng's heart and the throbbing of Empress Yi'an.

And if you want Princess Le'an and Queen Yi'an to really become their own people, instead of the gap sent by the court to their side, their hearts are still towards the court. Wei Zheng thought about it, and there was only one way, and that was to make the two of them completely disappointed in the court and their Emperor Chongzhen...

And the real purpose of suing them for this big wedding, suing them for being bought back by themselves with five million taels of silver, is one of the best ways to hit the imperial court and make them completely dead to the imperial court.

Just as the expressions on the faces of the two kept changing, Wei Zheng spoke again: "Although the imperial court has sold you to Ben Shuai, Ben Shuai does not restrict your freedom. Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, you can go there if you want to go. Of course, if you encounter something you want to do, Ben Shuai will also allow you to do it, and he will definitely not lock you in it for the rest of your life like the palace in the capital..."

"However, Ben Shuai gives you enough freedom, you must be worthy of Ben Shuai, and you can't do anything to be sorry for Ben Shuai... As for the specific time of the wedding. Ben Shuai is not strong. When are you going to think about it? Then I will sue Sù Ben Shuai, and Ben Shuai will notify the court, and then the big wedding will be held..."

After listening to what Wei Zheng said, the mood of the two finally improved a lot.

At the same time, a trace of shock and doubt from the heart also appeared on the faces of the two people. Because, in the cognition of the two, there has never been a woman who can go out to do things. The idea of not being bound by men and family.

Wei Zheng, who was standing in front of the two of them, seemed to see what they were thinking, and continued to speak: "Don't think about it, what Ben Shuai just said is all true....believe it or not, you will know later....Okay, we have been standing here for almost half an hour, and we will go back to Datong City immediately, Ben Shuai has prepared a grand welcome banquet for you in the Governor's Palace, just waiting for your arrival......

"Of course, after Ben Shuai returns to the Governor's Palace, he will have to talk to Zhang Qian, the secretary of the household department, and discuss how to give the five million taels of silver to the imperial court......"

The office of the Governor's Palace, where the old Zhou is located. Just when Wei Zheng walked to the door, ready to push the door in. An exclamation. Ringing directly in the office.

"What? Five million taels of silver were all paid for in things...... Master Zhou, are you sure you're not wrong? ”

You don't need to look at it to know that this exclamation must have come from the mouth of Zhang Qianshu, the head of the household.

Wei Zheng, who quickly flashed a smile on the corner of his mouth, quickly pushed open the door and walked into Zhou Lao's bookish office......

Facing Wei Zheng, who suddenly appeared in front of him, Zhang Qianshu, who was still frowning just now, was like finding a life-saving straw in despair, with a face full of anticipation, and got up from his seat.

Then, as if complaining, he said to Wei Zheng: "Wei Dashuai, when you were outside the city just now, you said that five million taels of silver will be handed over to me for a lot, and I will bring it back to the capital......

"However, this Lord Zhou under your command actually sued me that he would not give me the silver...... Instead, give me a batch of medicinal materials worth five million taels of silver, what is this, what the imperial court needs is silver, not medicinal materials...... Could it be that your words don't work in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces...... One of the subordinates of the Governor's Mansion dares to disobey your military orders ...... the Commander-in-Chief."

In the face of Zhang Qianshu, there are both complaints and sarcasm, and at the same time, there is a hint of rhetorical questions to sow discord. Wei Zheng had to sigh that there were still a lot of talents in the imperial court......

The Zhang Qianshu in front of him is a rare talent. Otherwise, he would not have taken over the burden given to him by Emperor Chongzhen again and again, risking his life to open the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi to negotiate with himself.

Wei Zheng, who was smiling, had already heard the meaning of the other party's words, so he would not be stupid enough to drill into the sleeve. Under Zhang Qianshu's gaze, he replied with a deep face......

"I disappointed Mr. Zhang...... Medicinal materials are worth five million taels of silver, which is really not Lord Zhou's idea...... Because, what Lord Zhou just said to you, Ben Shuai asked him to tell you ......"

Seeing the face in front of him that turned red instantly because of anxiety, Wei Zheng followed up and added: "Of course, Lord Zhang, don't think that if we use medicinal materials for five million taels of silver, the imperial court will suffer...... If you really think so, then you are very wrong, because the medicinal materials we are going to give you are all kinds of precious medicinal materials that are urgently needed in the capital. As long as you get to the capital, you can exchange it all for white flowers in a few days at most......"

Looking at Wei Zheng with an oath on his face in front of him, Zhang Qianshu immediately fell into deep thought. In his mouth, he kept repeating the same word to himself......

"Precious medicinal materials that are in urgent need of the capital...... Precious medicinal herbs that are in urgent need...... Is it ......?"

As he spoke, a fine light shot out from Zhang Qianshu's eyes.

Of course, a sudden expression of realization also appeared on Zhang Qianshu's face. Then, facing Wei Zheng, he asked with a suspicious face: "Wei Dashuai, is the precious medicinal material you are talking about, is it a wild ginseng that is only available in Changbai Mountain......

You must know that since the Houjin invaded the Ming Dynasty more than a year ago, under the blockade of the imperial court, all kinds of precious medicinal materials produced from the Houjin, especially the wild ginseng that can be used to continue life at critical moments, have almost reached the point where there is no market.

In Zhang Qianshu's impression, a wild ginseng that has been more than 200 years old has gone from 10,000 taels of silver to 100,000 taels of silver today in just one year.

And even so, there are very few people who come up with wild ginseng of such a year to sell it......

Under Zhang Qianshu's expectant gaze, Wei Zheng affirmed without the slightest hesitation: "It is wild ginseng, and it is also a wild ginseng native to Changbai Mountain, from decades to hundreds of years, there are ......."

Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed directly on Zhang Qianshu's face. As if he was afraid that Wei Zheng would suddenly repent, he quickly nodded and affirmed: "Yes, if it is wild ginseng and these traditional Chinese medicines, this official can represent the imperial court and promise Wei Dashuai that the medicinal materials are worth five million taels of silver......

Zhang Qianshu was happy, but Wei Zheng did not intend to let the imperial court take all the benefits. Because, according to Zhou Lao's estimates, the various wild ginseng looted by the Tiger and Leopard Army from the territory of Houjin also had at least seven or eight million taels of silver. If these medicinal materials are sent to the capital and auctioned among all the dignitaries and nobles in the capital, tens of millions of taels of silver are possible.

Therefore, in order to bring the greatest wealth to himself with this batch of medicinal materials, Wei Zheng had to be helped by the imperial court, and with the help of the imperial court, a large-scale auction of medicinal materials was held in the capital to sell all the wild ginseng......

At Wei Zheng's signal, Old Zhou, who quickly flashed a strange smile at the corner of his mouth, interrupted at a very timely time......

"Master Zhang, don't be too happy...... Although our Tiger and Leopard Army has been calculated by the imperial court again and again, but in the face of the difficulties of the imperial court, our marshal still decided to assist the imperial court with five million taels of silver. However, if the imperial court really wants to get the five million taels of silver, it must support the Tiger and Leopard Army and hold a large-scale auction of medicinal materials in the capital......"

"After selling the medicinal materials, my tiger and leopard army will be in the capital, and directly hand over five million taels of silver to the imperial court, and one tael of silver will not be less...... I don't know what Master Zhang thinks? ”

As long as the imperial court is not allowed to pay any of the most direct benefits, in Zhang Qianshu's eyes, there is nothing?

Therefore, under the simultaneous gaze of Zhou Lao and Wei Zheng, Zhang Qian affirmed without thinking: "Yes...... The imperial court absolutely supported the Haw Par Army in selling medicinal herbs in the capital...... This official believes that with the prestige of Wei Dashuai in the Ming Dynasty, even without the consent of the imperial court, he can sell medicinal materials in the capital, and there is no arrogance, dare to offend the Tiger and Par Army and Wei Dashuai at this time......"

Two days later, dozens of carts loaded with all kinds of wild ginseng and animal skins, escorted by a cavalry battalion of the Tiger and Leopard Army, entered the city of Beijing......

At the same time, a piece of news from the Haw Par Army, like a plague, quickly spread throughout the city of Beijing, almost to the point that everyone knew about it.

Two days later, the Haw Par Army will hold a public auction at the HSBC Restaurant in the capital to auction off a batch of precious medicinal herbs and animal skins looted from the Houjin Tartars...... Regardless of identity, the highest bidder learns......

It did not surprise Zhang Qianshu and others, the head of the household, and as soon as the news came, it caused a sensation in the entire capital.

In the past year, whether it is all kinds of dignitaries in the capital or major pharmacies, the wild ginseng that can be counted as the previous year has almost been consumed. Otherwise, the wild ginseng, which was originally priced at 10,000 taels of silver, would not have been coaxed to 100,000 taels of silver, and it was still priceless......

At this moment, in the huge capital, whether it is a dignitary or a major medicinal herb merchant. They are all trying their best to prepare the silver, planning to do a big job at the auction the next day, and buy as many medicinal materials as possible.

Because, no one knows, when the imperial court's economic blockade of the Houjin Tartars will end. As long as the blockade is still one day, there is no way for wild ginseng from Houjin Changbai Mountain to enter the capital.

And this also means that there is no way to guarantee their next supply.

Under such circumstances, the only thing these dignitaries and medicinal herb dealers can do is to seize this opportunity and hoard as many medicinal herbs as possible...... (To be continued......)
