Chapter 195 Falling Apart
Although this brother may not be particularly reliable in other aspects, he handled this matter quite decisively.
It only took a few days to successfully digest about half of the funds in Zhao Chunhua's hands.
After receiving the exchanged gold and silver, Zhao Chunhua continued to use it to purchase more necessities, hoping to further enrich her home inventory to deal with unknown risks.
At the same time, on Song Yuyu's side, the products she carefully crafted are becoming more and more popular.
Many people even began to visit the stores on their own initiative, hoping to learn the secret production methods behind these products.
Faced with such a situation, Zhao Chunhua seemed very straightforward and generous. She decided not to keep the business secrets anymore, but to sell these precious formulas directly to the outside world.
After all, a good business model can promote the progress and development of the entire society; and good products can greatly improve people's daily quality of life.
Considering that the entire land of Liangtian will be under her jurisdiction in the future, there is no need for her to continue hiding this little matter.
Therefore, both the soap and the specific method of making soap are now sold to interested parties.
Similarly, even the craftsmanship of making scented powders commonly used in beauty and skin care products has not been preserved, and it has also become a commodity that can generate revenue.
Even the method of making soybean oil was sold.
This technology is not just for profit, but also a way for Zhao Chunhua to make more people able to enjoy delicious and healthy food.
…
Zhao Chunhua then took the initiative to contact major restaurants in Beijing to sell recipes for hot pot, barbecue and other dishes.
She carefully prepares the design and taste of each menu item, ensuring that they are not only delicious but also able to occupy a place in the highly competitive catering market.
After Chen Zhong heard about it, he went to her and argued with her, saying that these recipes should not be sold.
He believes that these are secret family recipes, and if they are known to outsiders, it will have an impact on his business.
Zhao Chunhua's rebuttal left Chen Zhong speechless.
"I didn't take any of Yue Man Lou's recipes. They made a lot of money. You guys eat the meat and won't let me have some soup?"
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in her voice.
"Besides, Yue Man Lou is a high-end restaurant. How can it bother you if ordinary people go to a small restaurant to eat hot pot occasionally?"
Zhao Chunhua continued to add.
Her words were direct and persuasive.
Considering that Prince Chen still needed help from Zhao Chunhua, Chen Zhong didn't say anything else.
He understood that unity and cooperation were the wisest choices at this critical moment.
Zhao Chunhua seized the opportunity and found out a lot of news about Prince Chen after he arrived in the capital.
From those bits and pieces of information, she pieced together the outline of a thrilling story.
I heard that Prince Chen and Prince Ming once argued in front of the emperor about who was the most suitable heir, which made the old emperor so angry that he died.
This unexpected incident made the originally calm situation suddenly tense.
As a result, the battle for the throne without a clear heir officially began.
All surviving sons were given the opportunity to participate.
Everyone is fighting for their future.
As long as there is a glimmer of hope,
Power will become an object of competition among everyone.
Everyone hopes to stand out at this critical moment and gain more power and status.
Some people felt that they were the most suitable candidates, such as King Chen and King Ming.
Their ambition is obvious and they do not intend to let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip away.
The other princes would not look down on themselves.
Even if they are not as famous or powerful as the former, they are also actively looking for their own breakthroughs.
Since everyone is of royal blood, everyone wants to try their luck when the throne is vacant.
Whether by winning over important officials or seeking help from external forces, each prince is secretly working to strengthen his own power.
At the same time, the ministers in the court were also busy, all trying to gain more benefits and status from this turmoil.
For the powerful, this is undoubtedly a new game.
Murong Ke originally had no chance of winning because of the weakness of his mother's family, but things turned out to be advantageous because the general suddenly took a fancy to him as his son-in-law.
This sudden support instantly made him the focus of attention from all parties.
For a while, the ministers in the court were busy supporting their favorite candidates, forming their own factions and support networks.
Behind every action there are complex interests and power exchanges.
Even the youngest prince, Murong Cheng, was brought to the stage by his mother to join the battle for the throne.
Although he was still young, he was unwilling to give up this honor easily.
No one wants to be outdone, and no one wants to see others reach the highest position.
Everyone hopes to win in this battle without gunpowder.
In general, the fights between brothers in a family are often most intense when it comes to dividing the family property, and sometimes even lead to bloody conflicts.
The same scene is happening here.
In fact, this is the same reason why princes fight for the throne, except that this position is more attractive.
It represents the highest power and is the dream goal of countless people.
Once you sit on it, it feels as if the whole world is in your hands and everything is under control.
This temptation is still irresistible even for ministers and generals who already hold high positions of power.
The attraction of power to people is almost an instinct, and no one is immune to it.
Therefore, under such circumstances, a fierce battle for power seems to have been inevitable.
Countless people are eager to try in the dark, wanting to become the winner who will ultimately stand at the pinnacle of power.
It was because Zhao Fengzhi had foreseen the coming storm early on that before the death of the previous emperor, he decisively chose to stay away from the court full of disputes and conspiracies and leave the prosperous but dangerous city of the capital.
He did this not just to protect himself or seek temporary peace.
At this moment, he still couldn't calm down.
Recalling an action many years ago, that time, I stood up for my brother without regard for the consequences.
At that time, I just thought that I was doing something that I should do, but I didn’t expect that many years later, this action would become a key step in changing my destiny and opening up a bright road for my future.
Whenever he thought of the scene of betrothing his daughter to the Murong family, his face, which had once looked a little thin due to the poor family conditions, would inevitably show a strange blush. This was the change brought about by the beautiful vision of the future.
He believed that as long as the young man had a little wisdom, it would be enough to make the plan come into effect; once the time was right, it would help him ascend to the throne.
By then, the two problems that have troubled him for many years - safety issues and children's marriage - will be solved.
More importantly, family members scattered all over the world can reunite and enjoy the joy of family.
