To avoid any further complications, the first thing Peng Zhang wanted to do after entering Western Liao was to find Zhao Yiming to arrange his marriage with Zhao Shuhua.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. The Western Liao Kingdom had just been recovered and was now divided into three continents. In addition to the Qimuru Prefecture where they currently lived, there was also the sparsely populated desert area of Mayila Prefecture, and the green grassland of Ketoxun Prefecture. Zhao Yiming, the new governor of the three continents, was busy all day except for one day he took to meet Tian An and the others on the day they arrived.
At noon, Peng Zhang went there and was told that Zhao Yiming had gone out. When he went there in the evening, he was told that Zhao Yiming had not returned yet.
All right! Then we went to block him the next morning, but Tian An said Zhao Yiming had gone to Ketu Xunzhou and wouldn't be back for at least three to five days.
After failing to find anyone for several consecutive times, Peng Zhang had to put his mind at ease for the time being and go to research the market with the shopkeepers who came with him to clear out the goods they brought.
Although Peng Zhang likes to play on weekdays, as the future successor of Tianling's richest businessman, he can do his job well as long as he is serious.
However, this was their first time entering Qimuru Prefecture. They didn't speak the language and had no connections. In addition, the Western Liao Dynasty had just been destroyed and the locals were wary of foreign merchants, especially those from Tianling.
Even though their products are good, the sales progress is still not optimistic.
They also discovered that someone was secretly trying to stop them, disrupting them, and maliciously spreading rumors that their products were not good.
The companions who came with them were completely overwhelmed, and some even began to back out. "Our Peng family is doing well in Tianling. There's no need to expend so much energy to fight to the death in this damn place called Qimuluzhou!"
Peng Zhang frowned. "Uncle Zhou, what are you talking about? Doesn't Qi Mulu belong to Tianling now? We've already taken over so many places in Tianling Kingdom. How can we be stumped by such a small place? If this gets out, how will the other families laugh at us?"
"This, this, we can't advance, and we can't retreat, what should we do?" Everyone slapped their thighs and complained.
Peng Zhang's face was gloomy, and his thumb tapped subconsciously on the teacup in his hand, his brain constantly thinking.
"Zhao Yiming is the highest-ranking official here now, but he's too busy. It's not worth going to him for such a small matter. He might even look down on me. Everything else is fine, but if it affects my marriage to Shuhua, it would be even more of a loss."
After comparing them several times, Peng Zhang thought of Zak, with whom he had dealt before. That guy had been an official in Qimuru Province, so he must have some tricks up his sleeve. If he could get his help...
Having made up his mind, Peng Zhang stood up and interrupted everyone's discussion, "Alright, you guys take good care of the goods, I'll figure out a solution for this."
The next day, Peng Zhang brought valuable gifts to visit Tian An and her family at their temporary residence.
In order to get a bite to eat, Zack is now directly pestering Tian An. If you want to find Zack, you can go directly to Tian An.
Tian An thought he was here to look for Zhao Yiming, and was about to say that Zhao Yiming was not there, but he didn't expect that Peng Zhang was actually here to look for Zack this time.
Afterwards, Tian An listened to Peng Zhang talk about his difficulties and the purpose of coming to see Zack.
They have been friends for many years, and Tian Anding would not refuse to help if he could. However, although Zack is now entangled with the couple, it is difficult for Tian An to be his master, so he can only ask his servants to call Zack over.
Although Zack is no longer an official, he still has his old connections. He said that what happened to Peng Zhang was a trivial matter.
As long as Tian An can let him eat different delicacies every day for a month, he will do Peng Zhang this favor for free.
This request was a piece of cake for Tian An. When they had left Tian Ling, the Queen feared that the four of them would suffer in Qimulu, so she had specially assigned a royal chef to accompany them. She knew that even if they could cook different dishes for a month, they wouldn't have to cook the same dishes for two or three months. After all, she was still there! She was also quite knowledgeable about food.
Peng Zhang is a businessman who understands the ways of the world best. He knows that even the best relationships need to be maintained. Although Zack is willing to help him for free, he doesn't really want to take advantage of him. After all, they are planning to take root in Qimuru, and they will need help in many places in the future!
So the next day, he picked out some of the good things he had brought and gave them to Zack.
Zack had originally agreed to help for free, and now that he had taken something from someone else, he worked even harder. Within two days, he had found out who was causing trouble behind the scenes.
But the person behind the scenes is not just one person, but the royal powers left behind by Qimuru.
After the defeat of the four countries, Emperor Tianling did not order the execution of the royal family members, but brought the main members of their family to the capital to "live out their days in peace". Although the remaining princes and nobles did not dare to oppose Tianling officials openly, they did a lot of things to hinder them behind the scenes.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yiming didn't have time to deal with them for the time being, but let Peng Zhang test the waters first.
Zack said he was powerless to do anything about these people. He could help Peng Zhang find the person behind the scenes, but he couldn't do anything to them.
After all, his current identity is really embarrassing. The powerful people think that he is a favorite of Zhao Yiming. Although they dare not touch him, they secretly call him a traitor and naturally will not give him face.
However, this was not a difficult task for Peng Zhang. He didn't know who was behind the scenes before, but now that he knew who the other party was, it was easier to deal with.
Now that these powerful people are no longer the imperial power of Western Liao, if they continue to live off their resources, they will eventually fall. The only long-term solution is for everyone to work together. As for how to cooperate, it is nothing more than the division of interests! And isn't this exactly what he is good at!
Peng Zhang plunged into cooperation with the local dignitaries in Qimuru, and it took more than a month to negotiate the cooperation.
It took more than a month to successfully open the first store in Qimuru.
With the connection, he took advantage of the opportunity to introduce various industries of the Peng family to Qi Mulu, and also helped Mrs. Xu open a small shop.
I have been working hard for a long time, but half a year has passed without me noticing.
Only then did he realize that he had been so busy that he had completely forgotten about the proposal of marriage.
He thought Zhao Shuhua must be angry, but when he rushed to find Zhao Shuhua, he found that she was even busier than him.
It turned out that while he and Zhao Yiming were busy expanding their business territory and stabilizing the local situation respectively, Zhao Shuhua and Tian An were also busy.
Qimuru's first maternal and child health care hospital has been successfully established, but they are short of human resources. Except for Deng Xue and Xiang Tao who take care of Xiyue and Nanchen, the rest of the maids have been recruited to work as nurses. Zhao Shuhua, one of the attending physicians, is extremely busy and has never thought about getting engaged to Peng Zhang.
