After letting Liu Quan leave, Brother Diao said cautiously: "Master, Your Highness, can this guy be relied on? Don't he betray you one day?"
"Dare? Even if I lend him ten courages, he wouldn't dare."
Zhao Kang sneered: "The reason why I chose this guy is not because there are no better choices, but because Liu Quan still has some humanity."
Xiao Xuance was puzzled, and Zhao Kang said: "I have investigated the gangs in the Nanhuangmen area before, and they are doing everything."
"He only runs an underground gambling house and a few hook-ups. He has never forced girls into prostitution. Compared with others, he has a lower morale."
"The other few dare to do anything. They commit endless acts of abducting children and women. The brave ones even dare to smuggle contraband."
"Then we need to take care of them." Xiao Xuance nodded, becoming more and more accepting of Zhao Kang taking him into society.
Zhao Kang ordered: "Brother Diao, please protect His Highness during this period. Although His Majesty may have sent someone secretly, it is better to be cautious."
"Don't let His Highness get any harm."
Xiao Xuance said unhappily: "Old Zhao, you just look down on people. If I'm not just a few gangsters, what can you do to me?"
"I read in a book that those big guys in the world of martial arts should take the lead every time they fight, so that their younger brothers will be convinced!"
"Come on, my highness, please calm down. Why are you charging into battle like this?"
Zhao Kang said unceremoniously: "When you rush in front of someone and don't die eight times, it's just a coincidence. This matter is not discussed. Otherwise, if you are injured, can your majesty get around us?"
His Highness the Prince was a little depressed, not because Zhao Kang was telling the truth, but because of the word "Your Majesty" at the end.
There is no way, the big ones and the small ones are all the same. They are not afraid of anything but the empress.
After the explanation, Brother Diao and his party were asked to accompany Xiao Xuance, while Zhao Kang returned to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion and changed into official uniforms.
Qin Yufeng helped him organize his outfit and asked again and again: "Want to enter the palace?"
"Well, I may have to leave for a while. If it's quick, it will be almost a month to go back and forth."
The woman nodded obediently, stood on tiptoes and gave Zhao Kang a sweet kiss.
Come to the palace.
Zhao Kang did not delay and went directly to see Her Majesty the Empress because there was a letter from Yuanjiang County yesterday.
Zhang Long told Zhao Kang in the letter that the sanitary napkins had been sewn and ready for delivery at any time.
A pack of fifteen tablets, Ye Hongxue could make 300,000 packs in one breath. If Zhao Kang had not had a pedal spinning wheel and the assembly line operation of his textile factory, he would not have been able to complete it so quickly.
This single order has completely emptied the memory of Yuanjiang County.
But he didn't make much money from this order, because the price he gave Ye Hongxue was twenty copper coins for three packages.
One thousand copper plates is equivalent to one tael of silver, and the transaction price of this order is only two thousand taels.
Throwing away all costs, he only earns about one thousand taels.
But Zhao Kang doesn't care. This kind of epoch-making thing should be regarded as charity to benefit the people.
There is nothing I can do, Mr. Zhao is too conscientious!
At this moment, His Majesty was in the imperial study. Hearing that Zhao Kang was here, he was invited to come in without a second thought.
"What's the matter?" Her Majesty the Empress asked.
Zhao Kang always only entered the palace when important events occurred. On this unusual day, he didn't even go to court in the morning, which made all the officials a little unhappy.
But they had no choice but to keep Her Majesty the Queen from caring. They could only keep it in their hearts.
"The goods from Yuanjiang County have been prepared. According to the agreement with Ye Hongxue, after the goods are delivered to Jingguo, letters of alliance can be exchanged and the alliance concluded."
Xiao Linglong cheered up: "So you want me to write a letter of alliance?"
"I will personally go to this delivery."
Xiao Linglong said almost subconsciously: "No, it's too dangerous!"
"Isn't it childish to have no one who can speak out about such a big matter?"
Zhao Kang smiled gently: "It will show that we are sincere if I go there in person. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Xiao Linglong hesitated for a moment, but she couldn't refute Zhao Kang. She could only nodded: "Okay then."
After writing an alliance letter and giving it to Zhao Kang, Xiao Linglong felt a little relaxed.
There was no other way before the Qian Kingdom was weak and the three neighboring countries could bully it at will. All she could think about all day long was how to protect the Qian Kingdom.
The alliance between Qian and Jing now is definitely a good thing and will greatly reduce the pressure on the entire Qian country.
All this was brought about by Zhao Kang.
Looking at Zhao Kang who was collecting the alliance letter, Her Majesty's eyes couldn't help but soften.
Zhao Kang raised his head and was stunned for a moment, and found that Xiao Linglong was looking at him. Her beautiful appearance, bright eyes, white teeth, and tender face made his heart heat up.
"Your Majesty, I'm about to set off soon, won't you give me some reward?" he said with some anticipation.
Xiao Linglong responded subconsciously: "What reward do you want?"
"How about a personal visit?"
Her Majesty the Empress's cheeks turned red and she kicked her directly: "Get out."
"Woman, you are so heartless!"
Zhao Kang dodged the kick and laughed. Xiao Linglong stomped her feet angrily. This damn bastard is getting bolder and bolder!
Teasing Xiao Linglong from time to time makes Zhao Kang feel good.
After leaving the palace, he found Brother Diao and His Highness the Prince and gave them instructions, so he changed his clothes and rode a carriage back to Yuanjiang County.
Zhao Kang rushed back to Yuanjiang County in two days and met Zhang Long, Gao Quan and others.
"Stop talking, let's do one thing first. Zhang Long, pick twenty people, all old brothers from the past, and ask them to go to the imperial capital to find Brother Diao, who will arrange things for them."
Zhang Long didn't say anything and immediately went down to prepare.
Gao Quan took Zhao Kang to the textile factory and said as they walked: "Ten carriages are packed with three hundred thousand yuan. Fortunately, these things are not heavy. Master, if you speed up your trip, you can get to Jingguo very quickly. The round trip is about the same." A month’s time.”
"Well done, give the textile factory workers two days off and some bonuses."
Zhao Kang checked the quality of the sanitary napkins and nodded slightly: "In addition, the raw materials for textiles must be purchased as soon as possible. The output of each factory cannot be stopped. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. We must seize the time and try to let everyone have a good year."
"Okay, sir, don't worry." Gao Quan nodded.
The delivery team has been prepared. They are all Zhao Kang's confidants, a total of twenty people.
Zhao Kang got on the first carriage, said "Let's go," and the convoy left Yuanjiang County in a mighty manner.
There are many routes from Yuanjiang County to Jingguo, and something unexpected might happen. Zhao Kang naturally chose the fastest one.
The destination of their delivery this time was Langshan Camp, an important military location in Jingguo.
It was previously under the jurisdiction of Ye Hongxue, but Zhao Kang didn't know that Ye Hongxue had been deprived of military power after returning to Jingguo.
After eight consecutive days of traveling as fast as possible, Zhao Kang and his party finally left Qian Country and began to head towards Jing Country.
In another three days, the convoy arrived at the border town of Jingguo and Huangshi City.
Although Qian Guo and Jing Guo had not dealt with them before, merchants from the two countries often moved around, so Zhao Kang and the soldiers guarding the city only made a brief inspection and found no abnormalities before letting them go.
As soon as he entered Jingguo, Zhao Kang discovered that this place was different from Qianguo.
