After Tu Ziming also donated his land, Zhao Cheng couldn't stop smiling.
These two kids are so sensible!
Although Tu Ziming and Lu Chen are a year or two older than Zhao Cheng, Zhao Cheng has lived two lives, and considering the youth of his soul, he can indeed treat them as children.
For example, Zhao Cheng always treated his three younger brothers as his juniors.
Zhao Cheng raised his hands and placed them on Tu Ziming and Lu Chen's shoulders respectively, and said with a smile, "Since you two are so generous, I can't be stingy with you. In return, I'll reduce the cost for you even further."
This time, it was Tu Ziming and Lu Chen's turn to light up.
Cut costs!
Immortal wine, soap, and floral water are all easy-to-sell items. Once the market in Jiangyang County is opened up, they will become long-selling and consistently popular products with strong vitality. Even if the cost is reduced by just a little bit, it can generate huge profits.
When you calculate it this way, what does giving away tens of thousands of acres of fertile land amount to?
In the long run, it's actually profitable!
Seeing their expressions, Zhao Cheng knew what they were thinking and quickly said, "Since the prices of the immortal wine and the scented soap and floral water have been set, there's no need to think about it anymore."
The two of them were stunned.
If it's not some kind of magic wine, soap, or toilet water, then what is it?
"First, we'll develop the market in Jiangcheng, and then I'll bring new products from the Chamber of Commerce and offer them to you at a lower cost."
Tu Ziming couldn't help but ask, "What is this new product?"
Zhao Cheng said, "You should have seen women's underwear and bras. As far as I know, many wealthy women in Jiangcheng have asked people in Yanchuan City to buy them."
A memory flashed through Tu Ziming's mind, recalling what the woman on the bed was wearing when he assassinated Tu Qianhu.
Tu Ziming asked, "Will this outfit... be popular?"
Zhao Cheng removed his hands from their shoulders, put his back behind him, and walked towards the head of the table, saying, "I know what you two are thinking. I just need to tell you that Xiao Luomu has only one core requirement for the selection of goods when he founded the Eastern Chamber of Commerce."
"That must be something that can become a best-selling product!"
"It's a basic need for any normal person!"
"Do you understand?"
Tu Ziming and Lu Chen exchanged a glance, then immediately bowed to Zhao Cheng and said in unison, "Understood!!"
"You two are very busy these days, so I won't keep you for dinner. I'll treat you to drinks when I have more free time." Zhao Cheng sat down in the main seat and served tea to the guests, asking them to leave.
"Young Prime Minister, then we'll take our leave."
As the two left, Yuan Fei walked in from outside the hall.
"Master, I have found Lu Yuan and Tu Wanhu."
Upon hearing this, Tu Ziming and Lu Chen, who had just reached the gate, stopped abruptly.
Zhao Cheng said, "This is also a family matter for you. If you want to hear it, stay and listen."
"Thank you, Young Prime Minister!!" The two of them hurried back.
Yuan Fei then said, "When I went out to look for people, I first heard rumors that Lu Yuan had gone to the deep mountains in the north. Then I followed the clues into the deep mountains and found a small temple on the mountain. But Lu Yuan was no longer on the mountain at that time. I found out that he had taken a monk down the mountain. So I searched all the way and finally found them in the wilderness eight miles northeast of Jiangcheng."
Zhao Cheng asked, "Are they heading towards Jiangcheng or towards the seaside?"
Yuan Fei said, "Let's go to Jiangcheng."
Zhao Cheng glanced at Zhao Wu, implying that the initial analysis was correct and that Lu Yuan and Tu Wanhu would not let the matter rest.
Zhao Cheng said, "Tell me the specifics."
Yuan Fei said, "There are experts in their team. I didn't dare to get too close this time. I only know that there are more than two hundred of them."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Cheng frowned, leaned forward, and asked suspiciously, "Back in Han Nancheng, I had Zhao Wu and Heng Wenhao by my side, and you dared to approach Tie Ding to deliver the message. But this time you didn't dare to approach them. Could it be that there are experts in their team who are even more powerful than Zhao Wu and Heng Wenhao?"
Yuan Fei shook his head and said, "That's not it. It's just that when you were in Han Nan City, you were all in the inn, which made it easier for me to hide. But they are in the open field, with a wide field of vision and simple terrain, which makes it easy for me to be exposed."
With that, Yuan Fei clasped his hands in a fist and said solemnly, "Master, I am not afraid of death, I just want to come back as soon as possible to report their whereabouts, otherwise... if I am captured by them, you will not be able to get any information!"
“You did the right thing.” Zhao Cheng nodded, then looked at Tu Ziming and Lu Chen, and asked, “You two heard it, what are your thoughts?”
Tu Ziming thought for a moment and said, "Tu Wanhu and Tu Qianhu are brothers. He will definitely come back for revenge. I am mentally prepared for that."
Zhao Cheng asked, "Do you think he wants to kill you?"
Tu Ziming said, "They will not only kill me, but also the young prime minister."
Zhao Cheng looked at Lu Chen and asked, "And you?"
Lu Chen said, "Lu Yuan must have come back for revenge, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to the temple, let alone brought that old monk down the mountain."
Zhao Cheng asked, "Who is that old monk?"
Lu Chen's expression hardened, and he said, "The monk Huiyin, Lu Yuan's uncle! When I was a child, I heard the elders in my family talking about him. They said that the monk Huiyin was very skilled in martial arts and was already one of the top masters in Jiangcheng at a young age. He didn't like doing business and only loved to roam the martial arts world. However, he had a violent personality and made countless enemies in the martial arts world, which brought a lot of trouble to the Lu family. Later, I don't know what major event happened to him, so he went into seclusion and became a monk, severing ties with the Lu family."
Lu Chen said worriedly, "Since Monk Ke Huiyin followed Lu Yuan down the mountain, it means he still has worldly attachments and feelings for the elders of the Lu family."
"They've come with ill intentions." Zhao Cheng sighed, looking up, and said, "It seems Jiangcheng is about to be plunged into another bloodbath."
Tu Ziming and Lu Yuan both looked worried.
"Xiao Fei," Zhao Cheng instructed, "Go find Chai Xin and tell him about Lu Yuan and Tu Wanhu's situation. Tell him not to strengthen the defenses of the city gates. Just do what you normally do and arrange for people to ambush outside the Yasu Villa."
"yes!"
"After you've finished explaining this, continue to keep an eye on Lu Yuan and Tu Wanhu. As before, safety first, don't get close."
"clear!"
"Ziming, Lu Chen."
"exist!!"
"Go home immediately and gather all those who participated in the operation that night. They should all stay at the Yasu Villa for the next few days. Only if you get through this can you rest easy in the future."
"yes!!"
"Zhao Wu, Zhao Yan."
"exist!!"
“Go and call all our people back from the city. From this day forward, none of them shall set foot in the Yasu Villa.”
"yes!!"
After responding, Zhao Yan asked, "Brother, aren't we being a bit too cowardly?"
Zhao Cheng said in a deep voice, "If Lu Yuan can find a master like Monk Huiyin, does Tu Wanhu not have any trump cards? I even suspect that someone is using the Tu and Lu families' counterattack against me to increase their bargaining chips, so there are definitely more than just Monk Huiyin in their team."
"It's too dangerous to go out alone now."
Zhao Cheng's expression was cold as he clenched his fist and said, "We'll wait for them in the villa. If they want to wipe us out, then we'll trap them like turtles in a jar!"
