Hearing Zhao Kang's words, Wu Xinyi chuckled. She had heard such compliments many times and didn't mind them at all.
Everyone was seated and the food and drinks were served. Wu Xinyi picked up a glass of wine and said, "Qingluan bumped into Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhao during the day. As the head of the family, I failed to discipline them well, so I would like to apologize to you two."
"Master, please be polite. A little friction won't cause any harm."
Zhao Kang also drank a glass of wine, and Wu Xinyi turned to look at Xiao Xuance: "This one?"
"This is my brother, Zhao Tiedan." Zhao Kang casually changed his surname to His Royal Highness.
Xiao Xuance was so angry that his teeth itched, but he didn't want to get angry, so he could only laugh at the name.
Wu Qingluan couldn't help but laugh out loud. When he saw his eldest sister's eyes, he quickly calmed down: "I was rude, I will punish myself with a drink."
"It's okay, it's okay." His Royal Highness glared at Zhao Kang, very magnanimously.
After all the polite greetings, Wu Xinyi got down to the topic: "I wonder where Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhao come from and where they want to go?"
Zhao Kang did not answer, but asked instead: "Master, I came to Qingzhou City and took a look around, and I have a question in my mind. Can you answer it first?"
Hearing this, Wu Xinyi and the three of them all cheered up.
"Excuse me, sir."
Zhao Kang played with the wine glass in his hand, half-smiling but not smiling: "Nowadays, the three families of Wang, Ma and Qin are raising the price of food. It can be said that they are making money every day. Why has the head of the family not taken any action yet?"
Wu Xinyi's eyes were filled with curiosity: "Sir, haven't you ever heard of the saying that those who do evil will be punished by death?"
"No matter how much they earn now, I'm afraid it won't be long before the three of them will pay out their capital and profits. Is that right, sir?"
"That's the truth."
Zhao Kang put down his wine glass and said, "How about asking the head of the family to agree to Zhao's condition?"
Zheng Xuan held his breath and concentrated, realizing that his good intentions might have brought trouble to the Wu family, and he immediately felt a headache.
Wu Xinyi said calmly: "Sir, please tell me."
"Open a warehouse to distribute relief grain to help the people of Qingzhou." Zhao Kang said.
Wu Xinyi raised her eyebrows slightly: "Sir, you should know that I am a businessman."
Merchants can't afford to go early without profit, and now they open warehouses to distribute grain to relieve the people. This will undoubtedly offend the other three and most of the grain merchants.
There is no actual benefit, although Wu Xinyi has realized that Zhao Kang's identity is not simple.
But it is obviously impossible for Zhao Kang to send all the food away with just one word.
Zhao Kang smiled: "I understand this. Since I made the request, I will not let the family owner suffer."
"I can assure you that no matter how much food you distribute, I will give you additional money in the future at a price that is 10% higher than the normal food price."
"Secondly, within two months at most, the food in Qingzhou will soon be unsaleable."
Wu Qingluan blurted out: "How is this possible!"
"Qingluan must not be presumptuous." Wu Xinyi said. The former quickly lowered his head, full of doubts in his heart.
The most lacking thing in Qingzhou now is food, but Zhao Kang actually said that food will no longer be sold soon. This is simply a fantasy, and she doesn't believe it.
But Wu Xinyi thought of a possibility, a possibility that no one in Qingzhou could imagine now.
She had thought of this for a long time, and when she heard Zhao Kang's shocking words, her heart skipped a beat.
"How can Mr. Zhao guarantee this?"
Zhao Kangxiao: "This is a normal thing. As for the first point, we two brothers are from the imperial capital. Is this guarantee enough?"
For a moment, Wu Xinyi settled her mind and glanced helplessly at Zheng Xuan next to her: "It seems that we are too blind to recognize the true Buddha."
Zheng Xuan looked at Zhao Kang dumbfounded. He had never heard of any masters in the imperial court. Could it be that he came from the palace?
After Zhao Kang revealed his identity, Wu Xinyi stopped trying anything and changed her title: "Since the Lord has spoken, the daughter of the people should do as she is told. I just have some concerns."
Zhao Kangdao: "Master, don't worry. No matter what trouble happens, I can solve it for you, so you don't have to worry about it."
Only Wu Qingluan looked confused, looking at how Zhao Kang had changed from a gentleman to an adult again?
"This will put people's minds at ease."
Thinking of Zhao Kang's identity, Wu Xinyi's eyes flashed with excitement: "You two adults must not have a place to stay yet? You might as well stay in the Wu family temporarily. It will be convenient for the Wu family to do whatever they want in the future, right?"
The court came to provide relief to the disaster minister. He must be of high rank. As long as he can establish a good relationship in advance, he might be able to bring the Wu family to a higher level!
Zhao Kang did not refuse: "Thank you very much, Master."
Seeing that Zhao Kang agreed, Zheng Xuan smiled again. It seemed that the trouble had turned into a good thing again.
As long as a master of martial arts has not reached the third or second level above the fourth level, he will still be an ordinary person after all.
The protection that can be given to the Wu family is still inferior to that of a court official.
After the matter was finalized, the atmosphere of the dinner became more relaxed. During the banquet, Wu Qingluan couldn't help but curiously asked about Zhao Kang's martial arts level.
Zhao Kang didn't hide anything and told the other party that he was currently in the middle level of the fourth level and was still some distance away from the upper level.
The third lady was so shocked that she was speechless.
"There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. That's it." Zheng Xuan sighed.
The party dispersed.
Zhao Kang and Xiao Xuance packed their bags and went to Wu's house.
Wu Xinyi arranged a good room for the two of them to stay in.
In the study.
The woman rubbed her brows to sober up, and Zheng Xuan on the side asked: "Master, do you want to send someone to check?"
"No need."
Wu Xinyi said softly: "This Zhao Long has not concealed his identity, but he is not afraid of our investigation. The two of them came alone to show that the court is particularly concerned about this Qingzhou disaster."
"I'm afraid we need to vigorously rectify it. As long as we have a good relationship with him at this time, we can save the Wu family from trouble."
No matter how rich and powerful the four major grain merchants are, they are just businessmen after all. How can they compete with the imperial court?
Wu Xinyi was a little lucky at the moment. Fortunately, she and Zhao Kang met today. If not, the Wu family might also be involved this time.
Thinking of Wu Xinyi, she suddenly smiled and raised the corner of her mouth: "Maybe the so-called four families in Qingzhou will be the only ones left in the Wu family from now on!"
Zheng Xuan was surprised and thought of something and asked: "Master, Mr. Zhao said that in about two months, Qingzhou's grain will not be sold. Is this possible?"
"Probably!"
Wu Xinyi's expression became serious when she heard this: "I'm afraid Mr. Zhao has already thought of the best way to suppress food prices. I was worried about this before, so I also thought about selling food."
Just when Zhao Kang moved into Wu's house.
A group of people rushed to the north of Qian Kingdom and started looking for grain merchants from various places with a lot of banknotes.
Watching the grain being loaded onto the truck, a businessman asked with interest: "Brother, why did you buy so much grain? The autumn harvest is coming soon."
The man chuckled, "You guys are not well-informed. Now that Qingzhou has been hit by the disaster, people are buying grain everywhere. The price is so high that it will cost at least five times to send this car to Qingzhou!"
