My father, on horseback, is the empire's dragon commander; off horseback, he is the current prime minister. People call me the Young Prime Minister.
My father and I both feared being slau...
"Completed!"
Park Gon laughed happily, "That's true, but Dou Dou is my own nephew, how could I not like him! It's true that Wu Di is a spoiled brat, but he's still very good to Dou Dou and won't lead him astray!"
Zhao Cheng slowly stood up, watching Park Jian happily stroking the rocking horse. It was as if he could see Dou Dou's innocent and carefree figure riding on the rocking horse, with Park Jian gently pushing from behind, Dou Dou laughing joyfully in front, and a sheep bleating beside them.
This scene captivated Zhao Cheng; simple happiness is truly wonderful.
...
Three cups of clear tea.
Tender green leaves float on the surface of the tea, emitting a refreshing fragrance.
Besides the three cups of tea, there was also a box on the table.
The box was open, and inside was a stack of silver notes.
"I really did my best to raise 400,000 in two days." Lü Bin closed the box and gently pushed it in front of Zhao Cheng.
Zhao Cheng pushed the box a little closer to Cai Yilu and said, "Boss Lü knows the rules very well and is a man who can accomplish great things."
"Young Master, Boss Cai, let's just consider this matter closed, shall we?"
Zhao Cheng nodded and said, "This tea is too expensive, we can't drink it for free."
Upon hearing this, Lü Bin immediately became nervous and quickly said, "It was my own initiative to invite you! Young Prime Minister deserves such fine tea!"
Zhao Cheng took a sip of tea and said, "The Mr. Wu from Yanchuan you mentioned is, coincidentally, also a good friend of mine. I'll have him give you a share of the soap and cologne. If you sell well, you'll not only make back the money for the tea, but you might even have future collaborations."
Upon hearing this, both Lü Bin and Cai Yilu were greatly surprised.
Without saying a word, Lü Bin immediately knelt down and said loudly, "Thank you, Young Prime Minister!"
He was a shrewd and worldly person, and he knew this was a golden opportunity.
Zhao Cheng didn't give him benefits for no reason. Although Lü Bin was full of empty talk and almost got scammed by him, as long as he didn't really want to swindle the 800,000, he was still useful.
Everyone has their strengths, and Zhao Cheng needs all sorts of people to develop the market in Changsui.
What moved Zhao Cheng the most was that Lü Bin had connections in the palace.
Although he said his friend in the palace was just a nobody, Zhao Cheng didn't believe him. How could a nobody get a list of ingredients to supply?
The safety of the emperor and his concubines is not a concern?
Lü Bin simply dared not say it.
Therefore, Zhao Cheng wanted to give Lü Bin a chance to test his abilities and also use this time to investigate him.
If it works, great; if not, oh well, there's no loss.
"Okay, you can try doing it first."
Zhao Cheng got up to leave, but suddenly remembered something and turned back to ask, "Boss Lü."
Lü Bin quickly replied, "Just call me Xiao Lü!"
Zhao Cheng asked, "Can you buy me a sheep?"
early morning.
The area in front of General Jianzhong's mansion was bustling with activity. Some people were loading and unloading plaques, while others were using ladders to clean the lintels, attracting passersby to stop and watch.
Park Gon, who had just woken up, was completely unaware of what was happening. As usual, he washed up and went to the yard to practice boxing.
Although he hasn't been on the battlefield for many years, he has never stopped his daily exercise routine.
They weren't practicing health-preserving boxing, but rather military boxing.
Those who understand this style of boxing can guess what Park Gon is thinking. This is not for physical fitness, but clearly to prepare for the day when he can return to the battlefield.
As the fight progressed, Park Gun slowed his movements because he heard strange noises.
"Meow..."
"Meow meow meow..."
"A sheep bleating?" Park Gun frowned in confusion, then slapped his head and muttered to himself, "I slaughtered the sheep, so where did this sheep come from? I must not have slept well last night!"
Park Gun continued boxing.
"Meow..."
"No! It's clearly the bleating of a sheep!!" Park Gon became alert, wondering if the sheep had become a spirit and its soul had come to take revenge on him.
He ran towards the front yard following the sound, but froze as soon as he stepped through the gate.
It's a sheep.
It is indeed a sheep.
They're sheep!
Looking around, there must be hundreds of sheep bleating incessantly!
"What's going on???" Park Gun was dumbfounded.
The flock of sheep dispersed, and Park Gon gradually saw several figures among them. The first one he saw was his grandson, Dou Dou, who was lying on the back of a sheep, happily stroking its wool.
The second daughter, Park Yoo-hee, followed behind Dou-dou, stroking the head of the little lamb next to her.
Behind them were his son, Park Moo-di, and Zhao Cheng, among others.
Park Gon immediately understood what was going on and shouted, "Ah Cheng, did you get these sheep?"
Zhao Cheng walked over and said, "I ate Dou Dou's sheep, this is compensation for him."
"Nonsense!"
"Don't get angry." Zhao Cheng stopped beside Dou Dou, patted Dou Dou's head, and said, "This is between Dou Dou and me, it's none of your business!"
“That’s right! Grandpa, you killed my sheep, you’re bad!” DouDou chimed in.
Zhao Cheng said, "Dou Dou, you can't talk about Grandpa like that. Grandpa just made you a rocking horse yesterday. Grandpa knows he was wrong, right?"
"Um... I don't blame Grandpa anymore..." Dou Dou nodded blankly.
Park Gun knew that Jo Seong meant well and was trying to help him in various ways. After thinking for a moment, he said, "But you only ate one sheep, you don't have to pay so much, do you?!"
"I never take advantage of others, especially children. If I lose money, I'll compensate you a hundredfold, no questions asked!"
"How much would a hundred sheep cost? That's too expensive!"
Park Gon glared at Park Yoo-hee and snapped, "Yoo-hee, Dou-dou is just a child who doesn't know any better, but don't you know any better either? We can't keep her!"
