The first day that Zhao Kang officially came to court after returning to China.
Her Majesty the Empress is sitting high on a dragon chair, and on the lower left side, besides Zhao Kang, is Her Royal Highness the Prince, to show that their status is infinitely respected.
When all the civil and military officials were present, Xiao Linglong said, "If you have anything to do, please tell me. If nothing happens, please leave the court."
Zhao Kang came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Her Majesty the Empress pursed her lips in a cryptic voice, "Master, please tell me."
Zhao Kangdao "I sincerely ask your Majesty to grant me a marriage to Mrs. Wu."
The officials present could not help but be stunned and looked at Zhao Kang in confusion.
Why does this guy suddenly want His Majesty to grant him a marriage?
Or with Mrs. Wu!
For a time, many officials who had thoughts about Wu Xinyi felt like they were struck by lightning, and looked at Zhao Kang with a look of resentment.
Then I heard Zhao Kang continue, "I am in love with Mrs. Wu, and I sincerely ask your majesty to grant a marriage to us."
Xiao Xuance was also a little helpless. He already knew everything, but he didn't expect that the scumbag he had been looking for for so many days was actually the bastard Lao Zhao.
Isn't it a mess now?
His beloved concubine is his apprentice, he and he are brothers, and the eldest sister will also follow him in the future. What the hell is going to happen in the future!
Xiao Linglong nodded lightly, "That being the case, I will play it, Mr. Fang."
Fang Lin, the Minister of Rites, quickly responded, "I am here."
"The Master of the State is the King of Daqian Town, and he has made great contributions. Your Rites Department will come up with a charter as soon as possible. The wedding after the Master of the State will be held according to the standards of the prince, without any mistakes!"
"Old minister, I obey. Please rest assured, Your Majesty and the Imperial Master, I will personally supervise this matter." Fang Lin hurriedly patted his chest and assured.
You can't be careless about this matter. After all, your majesty will also be attending Zhao Kang's wedding in the future.
Many ministers looked at Zhao Kang and Xiao Linglong, feeling worried in their hearts.
Some murmured that although His Majesty agreed to grant the marriage, it was obvious that Zhao Kang's big day would still be some time away.
But His Majesty has already begun to order the Ministry of Rites to start preparations. Does that mean that His Majesty has chosen the time to give Xiao Xuance the Zen position?
And I'm afraid this is not far off.
Looking at Xiao Xuance, the ministers murmured in their hearts that although Xiao Xuance has changed a lot now, he still handles some government affairs in a decent manner.
But if he can really become an emperor, I'm afraid it remains to be seen.
After the court was over, many people had caught up with Zhao Kang and began to congratulate him.
Zhao Kang dealt with it with a smile and returned to the palace to change into regular clothes.
Yufeng saw this and asked, "Master, are you going out?"
"Yes, how about we come together?" Zhao Kang said with a smile.
Yufeng shook her head and smiled softly, "Sister Ye, please go with you. I have to take care of Sister Xinyi."
In terms of age, she is the youngest among the girls.
But it also made Zhao Kang very worry-free. He told the other party a few words and Zhao Kang went out.
Ye Hongxue was already waiting at the door. Zhao Kang walked over and took her hand and went out together.
Ye Hongxue has always been a quiet person. Even when she was in Jingguo, she rarely went out when she had free time.
Therefore, this is the first time I have been out in Qianguo for so long.
The two of them went out together and looked at the people in the outer city lining up to draw the lottery in front of Pie Xixi, and they couldn't help but feel a little curious.
"What are they doing?"
Zhao Kang laughed and talked about the cake Xixi incident. Ye Hongxue couldn't laugh or cry, "Aren't you trying to trick people?"
"No way, the money given out every day is real money, but those big prizes that easily cost hundreds or even thousands, hey, that's only if they can have 60,000 water friends."
Now the person in charge of the entire operation of Cake Xixi is Liu Quan, the gangster leader of the outer city in the past and now Liu Siye of the Thirteen Taibao.
Boss Xiao basically doesn't come to the shop anymore, and Zhao Kang, the second oldest, has been taking Lao San Huang to fight everywhere these years.
He, Fourth Master Liu, instantly became the owner of Cake Xixi. He has made a lot of money over the years, and his life has been very prosperous.
When I was a gangster, I was always on tenterhooks. I was always worried that one day I would be killed by the government. .??.
Nowadays, you can make money while lying down, and the income is legal, so Liu Quan cherishes his current life.
No, he personally came out to maintain order.
His sharp eyes immediately saw Zhao Kang in the crowd, and he was immediately startled and trotted over. It took a lot of effort to swallow the word "National Master" and changed his name to "Second Master!"
He already knew Zhao Kang's identity.
"Let's talk after we get into the shop."
Zhao Kang said.
Liu Quan quickly led the way, because the business was so good that the shop owned by Xiao Xuance was no longer enough.
Therefore, during this period, Liuquan spent a total of money to acquire three surrounding shops to store merchants' goods.
When the three of them came to the shop, they could see many ordinary people selling goods, which made Zhao Kang secretly nod.
Liu Quan is still very caring these years.
When he came to the back room, Liu Quan did not let the waiter wait on him. He took a pot of tea and served tea to the two of them respectfully. Then he asked with some anxiety, "Second Master, are you here to check the accounts today?"
The national teacher is a big one
Busy man, you didn't go to deal with national affairs today, but you came to the shop. Could it be that you are dissatisfied with your performance during this period, right?
"Don't think too much, I'm just here to take a look."
Zhao Kang gave him a reassurance, which made Liu Quan feel relieved a lot, and then he heard Zhao Kang say, "Go and get some of the wine currently sold in the shop, and ask for the best-selling wine."
"Okay." Liu Quan quickly went to work.
Zhao Kang explained to Ye Hongxue, who was a little confused, "I plan to brew some wine and sell it."
"Is it because the treasury is empty?" Ye Hongxue guessed it right at once.
Zhao Kang nodded, and Ye Hongxue was a little puzzled: "A few bottles of wine can't solve the fact that Qianguo's finances are currently empty, right?"
Zhao Kang smiled, "It depends on the wine. In the past, people drank low-quality wine. Even the so-called fine wine in the palace is garbage in my opinion. What we want to do is high enough strength." Drinks.”
"Specially used to sell to those wealthy dignitaries."
Ye Hongxue understood: "Good wine is prevalent in all countries. If the wine is good enough and the quantity is large enough, the money will come quickly. How do you plan to make it?"
“Brewed from grain crops such as sorghum.”
As soon as Zhao Kang opened his mouth, Ye Hongxue jumped: "Are you okay?"
Food shortage has always been a fatal problem in various countries. Even if it exists now, it is not something that can be eaten every time.
And now Zhao Kang is so extravagant that he uses sorghum and rice to make wine. Isn't this a waste?
"If you want to take money out of the pockets of those dignitaries, you have to come up with some really good stuff. I have already calculated this in my mind."
Zhao Kang smiled mysteriously, and at this time Liu Quan came back with several bottles of wine. Zhao Kang asked him to find several bowls and pour them one by one.
