Chapter 10: Seventy thousand taels

Hearing this, Zhang Xun didn't say much, just sneered.

When Li Zhufeng heard this, he was immediately unhappy and said, "What do you mean?" Could it be that the Marquis of Chengyang City can lead the troops to fight and be stronger than me? ”

When Zhang Xun heard this, he shook his head and said, "You kid has a hand in leading troops to fight, and the Marquis of Yangcheng is naturally not comparable to you." ”

"But when you go south, does it matter if you can lead troops to fight?"

When Li Zhufeng heard this, he was silent.

Daqian is located directly east of the entire continent, and in the north is an endless grassland, on which live the nomadic Mengyuan people.

The east is by the sea.

To the west is the endless Canglan Mountains, and after crossing the mountains is the Jin Kingdom.

In the south, it is the state of Chen.

The two take the Xiangjiang River as a natural barrier and rule by dividing the river.

However, in recent years, there has been a conflict between Daqian and Chen Guo over the division of the river area.

That's why I made this trip to the south.

However, Chen's situation is somewhat peculiar.

The army is okay, but the navy has not been trained for many years, and will only eat empty salaries, and its combat effectiveness is not enough to mention.

It is really whimsical to want to fight with Daqian on the Xiangjiang River.

I'm afraid that even Chen Guo himself is only fighting symbolically, and after the defeat, he will naturally cede part of the river area.

In this way, it not only preserved its strength, but also allowed the cadres to see their tough attitude and avoid the end of being further demanded.

It's the best of both worlds.

Therefore, the so-called trip to the south seems to be a march to fight, but in fact, it is an opportunity to reap the merits of war.

Whether there will be a war or not, it's really not that important.

And it's not that the Marquis of Yangcheng really doesn't know how to fight, he just commands the army and fights seriously, not as brave as Li Zhufeng.

"Even so, why don't you choose me?" Li Zhufeng was a little puzzled, although the ability to fight is not a key factor, but at least it can be regarded as an advantage.

Looking at it this way, he still has some advantages, how can he be so hopeless in Zhang Xun's eyes?

"Heh, a few days ago, did Changkong spend 50,000 taels of silver to buy 3,000 acres of wasteland in Xishan?" Zhang Xun did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

When Li Zhufeng heard this, he nodded: "This is indeed the case." ”

"You still carried a knife and went to the capital to ask people to return the money?"

"Naturally, I can't let him cheat my son's money for no reason."

"The money is coming back?"

"No..."Li Zhufeng said angrily, "What do you say about this, what does it have to do with going south?" ”

"Heh, do you know that this matter has been heard by heaven?"

"On... Listen to the heavens? Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, why is this so? ”

"Why? When the marquis of the court, he broke into the earl's palace with a knife, and nothing happened. If you really kill Du Chengbo, won't you make the whole world see a joke? How could Your Majesty not be concerned? ”

"Knowing this, I naturally know the reason for the matter, and I know the absurd acts in the past."

"Your Majesty was furious on the spot, and bluntly said that the son is not the fault of the godfather."

"Although there is no follow-up, but just this sentence, I am not optimistic about you."

When Li Zhufeng heard this, he was silent.

After a long time, he poured a sip of wine and said angrily: "That's it, it's just a military achievement, it's not a glorious thing." Drink and drink! ”

Zhang Xun heard a full sourness from his words, if it was on weekdays, he could still rely on the position of the prince of the country to help one or two.

But now that things are in front of His Majesty, what can he do?

I could only helplessly say: "If something like this happens, who told you not to talk to me earlier, it's better now, it's too late." ”

"Talking so much, drinking, aren't you afraid?"

"Can I be afraid of you? When Lao Tzu is drinking, you are afraid that you are still drinking milk. ”

……

Hearing this, Li Changkong frowned slightly and sighed slightly.

The disasters of the original body are really bigger than the other, and this is all heard by heaven.

Damn it! Oh, you're dead, that's fine.

Li Changkong no longer hid his body and mind, knocked on the door, and strode into it.

"Sky? What are you doing here? Li Zhufeng was a little stunned, and hurriedly adjusted his state to avoid showing a decadent state in front of his son.

Li Changkong said: "I said that I had something important to talk about with Zhang Shibo, but my father drank with Shibo for a long time, but he never summoned the child. ”

"The boy was afraid that Shibo and his father would forget about it, so he had to come by himself."

"I see, what's the matter with you, Changkong, just say it." Li Zhufeng said.

"Come on, don't delay me and your father from drinking." Zhang Xun still didn't have a good face.

Li Changkong didn't care at all, and said eloquently: "Shi Boke has heard that a new medicine has appeared in Taipingfang recently, which has been miraculous in the treatment of rheumatism and bone pain? ”

After all, the Dingguo Mansion is the owner behind Jishitang, and Zhang Xun, as the Dingguo Prince, naturally has a little understanding of the pharmaceutical market.

At this time, he couldn't help but nod and said: "It's true, I heard that the name of this medicine is called Pig Ointment, and in a short period of time, it became popular all over the entire Taipingfang." Under the influence of this medicine, it is also difficult for me to do a lot of business in Jishitang. ”

Hearing this, the corners of Li Changkong's mouth raised slightly, and he said, "Shibo Mingjian, this medicine is made by my nephew." ”

As soon as these words were uttered, the entire main hall fell into a brief silence.

Zhang Xun's eyes were as big as copper bells, and he said angrily: "You bastard, you don't learn and don't know how to do it on weekdays, but now you are coaxing me." ”

"If your father doesn't beat you, I won't dare to beat you?"

Seeing that Zhang Xun was about to do it, Li Changkong hurriedly said: "If Shibo doesn't believe it, you can ask my father, why do you want to do that kind of thing?" ”

When Zhang Xun heard this, he really stopped, turned his head to look at Li Zhufeng, and the meaning was self-evident.

Li Zhufeng was also a little confused at the moment, and he did know about Li Changkong's pharmaceutical.

But, to their senses, this ointment seems to be extraordinary. Whether it is really something made in the sky is debatable.

However, these days, Zhen Jian has been able to bring back a hundred taels of silver every day, saying that it is the income from selling medicine.

Money can't be faked, and it should be true.

So he nodded and said, "There should be such a thing." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Xun's face suddenly became wonderful.

looked at Li Changkong again, quite incredulous.

"Did you really make this medicine?"

"Nature."

"Then you told Shibo that you wanted to ......?"

"Naturally, I want to sell the prescription to Shibo."

Hearing this, Zhang Xun was completely surprised.

It's really... Unexpected delight.

On the one hand, it is natural to surprise the drug, and on the other hand, it is to surprise that the child finally has some interest.

"Good, good! How about your recipe, which Shibo bought for 70,000 taels of silver? ”

Zhang Xun did not bid indiscriminately, but considered it.

On the one hand, the reputation of this drug is really loud, and most of the people who have used it are full of praise, and it is absolutely impossible to lose money when you buy it.

On the other hand, he knew that the Li family had just been cheated of 50,000 taels of silver, and now he was stretched thin.

is also a little bit of a relief for the old brother.
