Since Wu Zhi's perfume business has formed a monopoly in this industry, even if the price of the perfume is raised, Wu Zhi will not worry about finding sales.
As for the intoxicating fragrance produced by the distilled liquor workshop?
First, you need to add part of it to the perfume as a base.
Of the two, part should be sent to Shuibo Liang Mountain for daily expenses.
Of the three, part of it must be sent to the female service army Hu Sanniang for emergencies in the rescue camp.
So after going back and forth, the daily output of distilled liquor will not be much left.
Therefore, when Wu Zhi returned to Beijing this time, he did not bring the intoxicating incense to sell with the perfume.
When Wu Zhi and Shi Qian loaded the perfume on the carriage and slowly arrived at the prefect's mansion.
Su Yuanjing and Wang Dingliu, who were disguised as Cheng Wanli, Dong Ping and others, walked out of the government office early in the morning to greet them.
This made the soldiers guarding the entrance of the government office secretly guess the identities of Wu Zhi and Shi Qian.
After all, 'Cheng Wanli' is the chief minister of the city, and the 'Dong Ping' standing next to him, although not as powerful as 'Cheng Wanli', is also an official with an extremely stubborn temper.
And the two people standing in front of them could actually let 'Cheng Wanli' and 'Dong Ping' take the initiative to greet them. What would be their identities?
Just when the soldiers were secretly guessing the identities of Wu Zhi and others, Wu Zhi and Shi Qian had already been invited into the government office by Wang Dingliu and Su Yuanjing.
When Wu Zhi asked Su Yuanjing and Wang Dingliu if they were comfortable serving as officials here.
Before Su Yuanjing could speak, Wang Dingliu happily reported to his brother what he had done since he became an official.
"Brother, to put it bluntly, the errand I am doing is just two things."
"The first is to train our own soldiers. The purpose is to defend against foreign enemy attacks."
"The second is to organize soldiers to resist the invading enemy."
"And around Dongping Mansion, there are only a few hostile forces."
"And the two biggest groups among them are our Shuibo Liangshan and the Qingfeng Village led by Song Jiang."
"On weekdays, if people from those small villages come to harass Dongping Mansion, then there is no need for me to take action. The soldiers below me can dispatch them all."
"As for those two mountains, they are not a threat to us."
"The ones above are all my brothers."
"Secondly, Song Jiang's group has all surrendered to the imperial court in recent days."
"So on weekdays, when I'm here, I can't be more free."
"Of course there is no question of whether anything can be done or not."
After Wang Dingliu reported his work to Wu Zhi, it was Su Yuanjing's turn.
For Su Yuanjing, who was once a veteran of the DPRK, it was not easy for him to deal with this trivial matter.
Often after he finished what he was doing, he went to chat with the civil servants in the government.
It was said to be a chat, but every time Su Yuanjing led the civil servants to talk, the content was very meaningful.
As for the central idea of the chat, they can be summarized as follows.
Create conflicts, wait for opportunities to provoke, and seize opportunities to win over.
In the end, the goal was to drag all the officials from this place to Shuibo Liangshan.
Wu Zhi quite agreed with Su Yuanjing's idea.
But before he left here, he reminded Su Yuanjing quite carefully.
That is:
"Although your plan is very good, it also contains certain risks."
"What if those officials, after being solicited by you, not only fail to agree with you, but also go above and beyond to file a complaint against you?"
"Then things inside are complicated."
Su Yuanjing also deeply agrees with this.
After Lian said he would pay attention, Wu Zhi took Shi Qian in a carriage and left Dongping Mansion, heading straight for the capital.
By the time the two of them arrived in the capital, it was already more than ten days later.
Wu Zhi hurried to his residence in the capital and rested for the night.
Early the next morning, we went straight to the palace.
At this time, the morning court had dispersed. If Wu Zhi wanted to find out the news, he would have to go to the study to find Zhao Ji.
While Wu Zhi was on his way to the study to find Zhao Ji, he kept thinking about one thing.
That is, when I go to find Zhao Ji this time, I must bring him some new things.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why he left the capital for so long.
At the same time, if he can bring some new things to Zhao Ji, he can also make Zhao Ji trust him even more.
This further deepened Wu Zhi's image as a well-behaved slave in Zhao Ji's heart.
Only in this way, Zhao Ji will be more confident in appointing Wu Zhi, and at the same time, he will not try every means to guard against him in the process of appointing him.
Also, if in daily life, the more surprises Wu Zhi brings to Zhao Ji, the more Zhao Ji will care about him.
Even if in the future, he, Wu Zhi, falls into Zhao Ji's hands, Zhao Ji will not kill him immediately.
This gave Wu Zhi a chance to make a comeback.
After all, in this capital city, his power, Wu Zhi, is really pitifully small.
If Zhao Ji starts to dislike him, then it won't be long before Wu Zhi can no longer stay in the capital.
This is also contrary to the interests he has planned.
Therefore, based on the above considerations, Wu Zhi also wanted to coax Zhao Ji.
Because of this, his interests in the capital can be maximized.
When Wu Zhi came to the study room, Zhao Ji was drawing pictures of ladies using the sketching technique that Wu Zhi had taught him earlier.
Although it didn't take long for Zhao Ji to master sketching techniques.
But in terms of painting skills, he is already on par with Wu Zhi now.
This had to bury such an idea in Wu Zhi's mind.
That's this kid Zhao Ji, he was really reincarnated in the wrong person.
If he is allowed to live in the home of a great scholar, then when this kid grows up, he will definitely become a great talent with a reputation far and wide.
"The humble minister Wu Zhi, pays homage to the officials."
When Zhao Ji, who was still painting, heard this sentence, his hand movements immediately paused.
Then he slowly turned his head and looked at Wu Zhi who was still bowing to him.
Then a smile spread across his face.
"You kid, you are so elusive!"
"I haven't seen you for months, where have you gone?"
Wu Zhi came to the painting table with an aggrieved look.
"The official family is the conscience of heaven and earth."
"Every time I leave the capital, I am either looking for medicinal materials for the Queen or looking for new and interesting things for the officials."
