Chapter 138: A Blessing or a Curse...

On a quaint and majestic carriage, Qin He kept rubbing his temples, worried that the pain of losing Qin Wanwan would make him insomnia in the past few days.

"Your Majesty, do you have another headache? Do you want to call the Imperial Doctor to show His Majesty? ”

Qin He waved his hand helplessly and sighed softly:

"Alas, don't you know why I have a headache! Who is it today? How sure are you that you'll find it late? ”

"Your Majesty, the man you see today is a wealthy merchant who has been in the business of water and sea transportation all year round, so he has a lot of large ships in his hands, which can increase the number of people we can rescue."

Hearing that this person was a businessman, Qin He's face was a little displeased, he was the king of a country, and now he was going to meet a wealthy businessman to ask him to help?! It's really a self-surrendering identity!

But thinking that Qin Wanwan might still be floating on the water now, without eating or drinking, and his body was weak, Qin He's brain couldn't help but hurt again.

"Let the carriage hurry up!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

At this time, in a quiet mansion, a man with bright eyes and bright teeth, wearing a purple satin robe, long hair as black as a waterfall, and a smile on his face, was staring in the direction of the door intentionally or unintentionally.

"Sir, that distinguished guest should be almost here."

"Go! Soak my most precious thousand-year-old tree in another pot! ”

"Yes!"

The man's name is Yuan Zhen, and he is a well-known wealthy businessman in the capital, but he can only be ranked at the bottom of the business circle in the capital, but this time there was a sudden flood, and the princes and nobles and wealthy businessmen who used boats to save people were about to step on the door of his house.

And he also wanted to take this opportunity to make more officials and friends, after all, this water transport is still managed by the government, and he knows more people, so it will be more convenient to take any waterway in the future.

As soon as the tea was made, Yuan Zhen heard the sound of horses' hooves at the door.

"Let's go! Your guests are here! Come with me! ”

The joy on his face was overflowing, and he heard that the stomping of his feet today could make the capital tremble, and he didn't dare to slack off at all.

"Knock knock!"

"It's coming, it's coming! Wait! ”

After the door opened, seeing Qin He's face and the domineering spirit of the king emanating from his body made Yuan Zhen a little surprised....

Look at the old man next to him, there is an indescribable temperament between his gestures, could it be that these two people are from the palace?

"Two distinguished guests! Quick, please in the house, I've already made you some tea! ”

"Boss Yuan is polite, let's hurry up and talk about business, our master is tired, I'm afraid he won't stay here for long."

As soon as Gonggong Xu spoke, Yuan Zhen confirmed his thoughts even more, this voice is so unique! Isn't that just a father-in-law! Moreover, such an old father-in-law must have a lot of qualifications, so wouldn't the identity of the person next to him be even more....

"You two want to borrow a boat to find someone, right?"

Qin He nodded, and kept touching the wrench on the thumb of his right hand with his left hand.

"Hmmm! How many boats do you have now? ”

"Now there are still a hundred small boats, and more than 30 wooden boats, which can probably accommodate more than 600 people."

Hearing this, Qin He nodded with satisfaction, it is indeed not bad to be able to find so many ships now, and today is not in vain.

"Then I have all the bags for this boat, how many silver taels are needed, you calculate, and I will send someone to send it to you tomorrow."

"Good! Silver is a trivial matter, as long as I can help you and find someone smoothly, it is Yuan's honor, I still have dozens of boatmen who often go by river in my family, and I can also cooperate with you to find someone when the time comes, they are still very experienced! ”

Qin He nodded with satisfaction, but he didn't expect this Yuan Zhen to be quite enthusiastic, so he raised the teacup and said:

"Then thank you Boss Yuan, today I will replace the wine with tea and toast you."

Yuan Zhen hurriedly smiled and drank the hot tea in the cup.

Qin He didn't stay long, and after discussing the time of tomorrow's departure, they left.

When he arrived at the door, Gonggong Xu glanced back at Yuan Zhen with satisfaction, and whispered:

"You, you know how to do things, have foresight, and have a bright future in the future."

"Yikes! That's a good word for you! Please help me with a few kind words! ”

Yuan Zhen smiled and stuffed the 1,000 taels of silver ticket into Gonggong Xu's hand, and Gonggong Xu coughed symbolically twice and quickly accepted it.

"Ahem! Then we're leaving! Tonight you all get the boat in order! Don't delay your departure tomorrow. ”

"Yes! Rest assured! ”

Looking at the appearance of his old man's doglegs, the housekeeper really couldn't understand, watched the carriage go farther and farther, and asked:

"Master, what's wrong with you today, this ship is all our family, and the price you charge is so low! Before leaving, he stuffed a silver ticket for 1,000 taels to the next person! It's a loss-making business! ”

Yuan Zhen smiled and patted the butler's shoulder, and said happily:

"You, after following me for so many years, don't you know how much we have suffered in river transportation? We don't have a backer, so we can't give 30% of our profits to those officials. ”

"But after today, it's different!"

The housekeeper didn't understand, why was it different? Just a word from the old minion?

Seeing the doubts on the housekeeper's face, and the surprised mouth could be stuffed into a fist, Yuan Zhen said patiently:

"That master, don't look at him wearing a casual dress, the black lines on the collar and cuffs are not ordinary! Moreover, the majesty that emanated from my whole body made me a little breathless. ”

"Look at the father-in-law next to me! is so old, it looks like I've been in the palace for years! Think about the people who can have such treatment, how many are there in this capital! Just one, can we grasp it, are we worried about making less money in the future? ”

The housekeeper nodded as if he didn't understand, thinking it wasn't as mysterious as the master said, right? These two don't look like very powerful people...

Seeing that the housekeeper didn't seem to understand, Yuan Zhen didn't bother to say anything more, after all, he also knew that people's vision and cognition couldn't grow just by listening.

"Remember, hurry up and arrange the boatman and the boat, this matter must be taken care of for me! Otherwise, our Yuan family will suffer! ”

Back in the room, as soon as she sat down at the table, the lady slowly walked out of the bed.

"Master, which official did you see today, this face is so ruddy, and his smile has never fallen since he entered the door!"

After the woman finished speaking, she quickly poured a cup of hot tea for Yuan Zhen, but Yuan Zhen took her into his arms and leaned over to kiss her.

"You, what a little lucky star for me! Since I married you and entered the door, I have been doing good things! The one who came today is very likely to be a big official in the palace! I can't guess who it is. ”

Hearing this, the woman frowned and gently stroked Yuan Zhen's chin.

"You say, could it be the emperor? Today I went to the cloth shop, the Chen family, the Song family, the Wang family's wife and young lady were there to customize clothes, I heard them say, this night the princess, was already on the way back, but suddenly encountered a big flood! Life and death are unknown... Your Majesty is very worried..."

"They also asked me if anyone from the palace had contacted us recently to use a boat!"

Listening to Madame's words, Yuan Zhen's face was solemn, and his whole body became stiff....
