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...
Zhao Cheng was not worried about Park Moo-di. Although Park Moo-di looked like a playboy and had a worse reputation than him, Zhao Cheng knew that Park Moo-di was capable.
Five years ago, when he was still in Changsui, Park Moo-di became the leader of the children not because he was the oldest, but because he had organizational skills, the ability to unite people, and the courage to take responsibility.
Back then, no matter who in their little group got into trouble, whether it was breaking someone's window or damaging someone's door, Park Moo-di would always take the initiative to take responsibility.
That's why Zhao Cheng thought that such a person was someone who could be used.
Zhao Cheng's plan for Park Moo-di was to first go with him to Yanchuan to familiarize himself with the business, then establish a route from Yanchuan to Changsui, and hand over the products that could be sold in Changsui to Lü Bin.
Park Moo-di will be in charge of the routes, and Lu Bin will be in charge of sales. Once they establish a foothold, they will set up a trading company in Changsui City, and one of them will naturally become the manager.
"You two do a good job." Zhao Cheng looked at Lü Bin and said, "Little Lü, don't let me down."
Lü Bin immediately knelt on one knee, lowering his posture considerably and behaving with extreme humility. He knew the difference between himself and Park In-di. Park In-di was his childhood friend, with a strong emotional bond. He, on the other hand, had almost offended Zhao Cheng.
He was already incredibly grateful that Zhao Cheng gave him this opportunity to make money.
"Don't worry, boss, I'll definitely get more orders than you expect before Park Moo-di comes back!"
Zhao Cheng said, "My expectations are very high."
"The higher the boss's expectations, the more orders I get!" Lü Bin said earnestly.
Zhao Cheng smiled and said, "It's good that you have this competitive spirit. Don't touch the catalog business anymore. We can't afford to lose things here before Cai Yilu opens up the Kangye market."
"clear!"
Bi Fansheng said, "Acheng, we asked His Majesty for permission to resign, but he didn't approve. If you ever need our help in your business in Changsui, just let us know."
Zhao Cheng nodded and said, "We're all on the same side, I won't stand on ceremony."
Bi Fansheng glanced at the sky and said, "Then let's get going as soon as possible!"
"Uncle Bi, all my uncles, take care!" Zhao Cheng bowed respectfully to his elders.
At this moment, a group dressed in a style completely out of place with Zhao Cheng and his entourage emerged from the city gate. The curtains of the carriage were lifted, and the people inside glanced at Zhao Cheng before ordering the group to stop.
Park Gon-do said, "It was Zhou Jinghuan's carriage."
Zhao Cheng turned around, a signature smile on his face, and walked over, saying, "Is Prince He returning to his country so soon?"
Zhou Jinghuan stepped down from the carriage and smiled, "The journey home is long, so it's inconvenient to stay any longer."
"Then I wish you a safe journey." Zhao Cheng looked at Chen Chong, who was riding on horseback, and saw a strip of cloth tied behind his back. He smiled and said, "Has His Majesty returned the sword to Brother Chen?"
Zhou Jinghuan nodded and smiled, "After examination, Chen Chong's sword is a black bronze sword, not an iron sword."
Zhao Cheng clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Congratulations!"
"It was originally my sword, what's there to be happy about!" Chen Chong retorted.
Zhou Jinghuan quickly laughed and said, "Young Prime Minister, you really went all out yesterday! You took your entourage all over the streets to buy things, and you also booked restaurants and brothels to entertain guests. You spent 500,000 taels in one day! Everyone says that Southern Zhou is rich, but even in Kangye, I have never seen any young master of any family spend money like this!"
When Park Gun-gang first received the news, he immediately berated Zhao Cheng. Later, after Zhao Cheng explained, he realized that Zhao Cheng had done it intentionally, especially since the money was obtained by Zhao Cheng through extortion. Only then did he praise Zhao Cheng for doing a good job.
"Money is just an external thing; even if you spend it all, it will come back again! Prince He may not know this, but my friends in Yanchuan City all know this saying of mine!"
"Tonight's entire bill is on Young Master Zhao!!"
"Hahaha..." Zhao Cheng patted Zhou Jinghuan on the shoulder and laughed, "When the Prince comes to Yanchuan City in the future, I will definitely treat you to the best!"
With that, Zhao Cheng smiled slyly and said, "Besides, this money is a repayment I received, so I won't feel bad spending it!"
Zhou Jinghuan smiled and suddenly said, "It hurts to repay the loan, but it doesn't hurt to extort money, just like when you extorted the young governor in Lingshan last time."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Cheng's expression immediately froze!
Zhou Jinghuan took in Zhao Cheng's expression and whispered in his ear, "Before coming here, the young governor asked me to convey his... greetings to you."
Zhao Cheng narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Zhou Jinghuan.
At this moment, Zhou Jinghuan's perceived level of danger increased even further.
Zhou Jinghuan knows everything!
Yang Qingzhi had promised not to publicize the matter, but Zhou Jinghuan knew about it, which shows that Yang Qingzhi and he had a very good relationship.
Zhou Jinghuan, however, kept this matter to himself, observing the Jingguo court and Zhao Cheng with a cold eye, and only revealed the information to Zhao Cheng when he was leaving.
Zhao Cheng couldn't help but wonder why Zhou Jinghuan would do such a thing.
He had clearly offended him. If the man mentioned the matter of Lingshan at the state banquet, although it would bring him a heroic reputation, it would also make the Jingguo court a laughing stock.
It turns out that Zhao Cheng was the greatest contributor to Lingshan!
It turns out that Xiao Luofeng's title of General Longxiang was not worthy of the name!
It turns out that Zhou Chuan and his sister knew Zhao Cheng all along!
How would the emperor view Zhao Cheng at that time?
But Zhou Jinghuan did not do that.
Was he holding back and enduring it all for a bigger scheme?
"Alright, I'm leaving now. Take care, young prime minister."
Zhou Jinghuan gave Zhao Cheng a deep look, then quickly got into his car and drove away.
Zhao Cheng stood there, watching Zhou Jinghuan's group leave, his eyes gleaming sharply.
...
Northern part of the Southern Zhou Dynasty.
