"Congratulations to Mr. Chu for your good fortune." Fan Yuxuan came to visit the Chu family for the first time and saw Chu Qianqiu's rosy face and proud look, so she said these words without warning.
She only felt that her stomach was sour and had an indescribable smell.
"Miss Fan is here to exchange [Heart-Cleaning Pills], right? Can you tell me why?"
"Although the [Heart-Cleaning Pill] is precious, there is no reason for the Fan family to miss it so much."
"Do the [Buddha's Heart Pill], [Sekong Pill], and [Qingxin Pill] all have similar effects to the [Heart-Cleaning Pill]?" Chu Qianqiu ignored the sarcasm in Fan Yuxuan's words and asked curiously.
"Lord Chu, you don't know something." Fan Yuxuan secretly cursed herself for being stupid, took a deep breath and explained:
"In half a year, His Majesty will become an adult and take charge of the throne."
After the sudden death of Emperor Zili Zong of the Shenwu Dynasty, the young ruler has been in charge of the country. Empress Dowager Dou listened behind the curtain, and Prime Minister Niu Seng and Wang Ji took turns in power. Last year, Wang Ji finally defeated Niu Seng and ushered in his own spring.
But now that the young emperor has reached the age of nearly sixteen, according to the court's laws, the Queen Mother must retire to the harem and hand over the power to the young emperor.
"What does this have to do with the Heart-Cleaning Pill? Could it be that I want to give His Majesty the elixir?" When Chu Qianqiu said this, he couldn't help laughing.
The emperor who went to Beijing was almost one of the most valuable people in the world. How could he lack a heart-cleansing pill? Especially since Zhishan Academy had a very good relationship with the imperial court. Let alone one pill, even ten pills would not be a big deal.
"Of course not." Fan Yuxuan shook her head and tried to explain:
"More than a month ago, the Prime Minister resigned from his position and returned to the former Prime Minister Niu Seng."
"There was a turbulent situation in the court, and the Niu Party took the opportunity to counterattack."
"Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother refused to allow Lord Wang Ji to resign, and punished a group of censors who impeached the Prime Minister."
"Not only that, in order to appease the Wang family, the court also announced a major event."
"In half a year, Your Majesty will marry Ke Yue, the legitimate queen of the Yuzhou royal family, and Your Majesty will take charge of the throne after the marriage."
"I also know about this matter. I wonder what it has to do with the Fan family?"
Chu Qianqiu nodded. He had also read the imperial newspaper about this matter.
Prime Minister Wang Ji won a great victory in the court and cleared away the remnants of Niu Monk. In a sense, we can see the attitude of the court.
The court's attitude was changing and it was actively preparing for the battle. In order to ensure victory in the battle, the Xiao family and the Wang family took measures to form a marriage alliance.
Normally, the royal family would not marry a woman from a wealthy family to prevent relatives from interfering in politics, but in the face of the pressure from the Shenwei Army to make peace with Daxia, the Xiao family's royal family and the Wang family hit it off, and the two parties entered into cross-shareholdings.
Prime Minister Wang Ji was assured that after the young emperor took over the throne, he would still maintain control over the court, and that the future prince would be a member of the Wang family.
"The Fan family is one of the eight great imperial merchants, so it is natural for the emperor to offer congratulatory gifts on his wedding." Fan Yuxuan smiled bitterly and continued:
"Lord Chu, you should know that Jubao Pavilion is the property of the Fan family. The Fan family claims to be an imperial merchant, but is actually a family of craftsmen, responsible for the casting and sales of spiritual weapons for the imperial court."
The two major supports of the feudal dynasty were the huge profits from salt and iron. The Fan family took one of the profits and was responsible for the casting and sales part, which still allowed them to make a lot of money. Although their family was based in Yongzhou, they also extended their tentacles to
to Lingzhou.
"And for this wedding, the requirements for gifts are extremely high."
"Our Fan family needs to present 300 top-quality spiritual weapons with different characteristics and create dragon and phoenix swords for His Majesty." Fan Yuxuan said with some bitterness.
The people above want to offer gifts, but it is the people below who are in trouble.
Many years after Emperor Lizong's sudden death, he finally welcomed his true master. This marriage not only proved that the Xiao family's royal family still had sufficient control over the world, but also completed a huge marriage.
"Three hundred top-quality spiritual weapons, as well as dragon and phoenix swords?" Chu Qianqiu originally thought that his wedding was grand enough, but compared with the young emperor's, it was still in the sky.
This scene is a bit too big.
The Fan family, one of the eight great imperial merchants, had to offer 300 pieces of spiritual weapons. According to the usual selling price of the spiritual weapons, it would cost tens of millions of silver. In other words, this was something that the young emperor after taking office would have.
Enough wealth to reward his subordinates.
This is also the meaning of the existence of the eight imperial merchants. They are the money bags of the royal family.
For the Fan family, I'm afraid most of their foundation will have to be vomited away, but you still have to give it away, as the consequences of not giving it will be more serious.

"The dragon and phoenix swords required by His Majesty should not only have a variety of characteristics, but also leave a design margin for advanced weapons."
"In order to be compatible with other characteristics, this spiritual weapon must have characteristics such as [Cleaning the Heart] and [Zen Heart] to prevent conflicts."
"The martial arts your Majesty practices is the "Huang Ji Lu", and the characteristic that is most suitable for this martial arts is [Heart Cleansing]." Fan Yuxuan did not hide anything. As for why the Fan family did not directly go to Zhishan Academy to redeem it, that is
Because the relationship between Zhishan Academy and the Fan family is not good.
As long as Chu Qianqiu is willing to inquire, these are not top secret information.
"The Fan family wants to forge spiritual weapons for His Majesty, so they need a heart-cleansing pill."
"The little girl will give you two elixirs [Dragon Power Pill] and [Guanghan Pill] in exchange for the adults."
"I wonder what your Majesty thinks?"
Fan Yuxuan asked worriedly, fearing that the other party would be dissatisfied.
Chu Qianqiu's eyes lit up.
Dragon Power Pill can obtain the [Dragon Power] characteristic, which is better than the [Giant Elephant] characteristic. If you don’t pursue the best quality pill like [Dragon Elephant], it is already a rare elixir on the market.
The value of [Dragon Power Pill] alone is worth that of [Heart-Cleaning Pill], and there is even a little surplus.
As for [Guanghan Dan], it can obtain the [Ice Soul] characteristic, which occasionally has miraculous effects in battle, and is also a very good practical characteristic.
Judging from this exchange, the Fan family is indeed very sincere.
"No problem, we can exchange." Chu Qianqiu agreed readily. Anyway, the Heart-Cleaning Pill will come back after a while. The Dragon Power Pill can greatly improve one's combat power and go further and further in using force to break the path.
.
"Thank you, sir." Fan Yuxuan was overjoyed. She had thought that the lion would speak loudly, but she did not expect that Chu Qianqiu was so easy to talk to.
Could it be that Mr. Chu has a crush on me?
She is indeed a lecherous person, and I can easily capture her as soon as I take action.
Although Tianyinmen does not have the means of serving men like the Hehuan Sect, it takes the high-end route of harmonizing the piano and the seduces. It is deeply loved by the noble ladies and shows the magnanimity of the rich ladies. For a man with a martial arts background like Mr. Chu, it is definitely more
is attractive.
"Then please ask Miss Fan to start the inspection and transaction." Chu Qianqiu ignored the other party's daze and took out the [Heart Cleansing Pill] very simply.
"It is indeed a heart-cleansing pill." Fan Yuxuan took out a silver needle and gently scraped off a layer of the drug skin, tasting it like a clove in her tongue. She used her true energy to condense the effect of the medicine. She nodded with satisfaction and took out another pill.
Two copies of the elixir were handed over to Chu Qianqiu for testing.
"Then we have both money and goods. If Miss Fan is worried about her safety, I can ask my subordinates to give you a ride."
Hearing such caring words, Fan Yuxuan's face turned red inexplicably, and she immediately shook her head and said:
"Thank you, sir. The little girl has Old Min as her guardian, so nothing will happen to her."
"It's just that my father once said that there is a big problem with that sword of virtue and virtue."
"If you want to use it, you'd better ask a martial arts master to check it."
