"Your Majesty, Father, the iron box was lost, and I don't know how long the enemy has been preparing. Ziqi feels that it may be difficult to find it using ordinary methods. We can search for it in two ways, the light and the dark, and it may be more effective." Shangguan Ziqi gave his suggestion.
"Oh? Tell me about it." The emperor became interested.
The prince's eyes also lit up.
"Father, please continue to look for her. You can relax a little, but the border must be strictly guarded and no suspicious person can be allowed to leave. Ziqi wants to do it secretly." Shangguan Ziqi wants to go out and look for her personally. By the way, he can also take the opportunity to expand his wife's business.
It is unlikely that you will find the iron box in a short time, so you have to make long-term plans.
The emperor and the prince looked at each other.
"Ziqi, your legs have difficulty moving, how are you going to go out to look for him?" The emperor was a little confused.
"The thing I'm looking for has nothing to do with my leg. I'm going out under the pretext of finding a famous doctor to treat my leg, but I'm actually looking for the iron box. This will paralyze the enemy, and they won't think of my real purpose at all. Instead, they'll relax their vigilance." Shangguan Ziqi analyzed.
The prince knew what it meant as soon as he heard it, because he knew that his son's legs were completely broken.
"What do you think, Your Majesty?" the Emperor asked for his opinion.
"I think it's feasible."
"Father, let me take my wife with me when I go out. This will confuse the enemy even more." Shangguan Ziqi made a request.
"What about your three children?" The prince disagreed.
"The baby is already five months old. We don't stop right away. We should wait until the baby is six months old and can eat other things. Then we can slowly stop the baby from drinking milk." Shangguan Ziqi said this after listening to Yu Yuanzheng.
My wife once said that the longer you drink milk, the more it will taste.
In the later stages, milk has no nutritional value at all. Eating too much will affect the child's development. It is time to eat when it is time to eat.
"He doesn't want to drink milk, but he needs someone to take care of him. Are you sure about that?" The prince was still worried.
"Don't we have Concubine Xi? Now Concubine Xi doesn't take care of the household anymore. She is just taking care of the children, and there are so many servants. It's not all up to Concubine Xi alone." Shangguan Ziqi showed no mercy in his intention to beat his Concubine Xi.
In the past few months, since the birth of the three children, his wife's attention has been all on the children, leaving him no chance to be intimate with his wife.
This life is so depressing.
Before she got pregnant, they had only had sex twice. How could he bear it if they still had so few opportunities after she gave birth?
Zheng Tuo took the opportunity to go out to find the iron box and threw the child to Concubine Li.
Anyway, my father and Concubine Lu are already an old couple, so it doesn’t matter.
The prince thought about it and nodded.
He knew that his son's ability was stronger than that of his father.
Even Wu Yu's progress was much faster than when he was a puppet.
The sub-books are totally incomparable.
"Ziqi, if you really find a miracle doctor who can cure your leg, you must bring him back to Beijing. Let the eldest prince see him. I haven't given up on my eldest prince." The emperor's meaning was obvious.
But after hearing this, the father and son walked out of the door and pretended they had heard nothing.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
But in his heart he was extremely happy, because the eldest prince had done a good job of keeping the secret, and until now his father had not known about it, and even his father-in-law knew about it.
When the emperor finds out about this, will the eldest prince be beaten?
Shangguan Ziqi fantasized in his heart.
After chatting for a while, Shangguan Ziqi said goodbye and left.
Shangguan Mengyao’s full moon banquet was lively all day long.
Her name was officially included in the Shangguan family's genealogy.
After the full moon banquet, the prince passed away again.
The princess did not say much, but just told him not to make himself so tired, as his health was more important.
The child is still so young and needs him to raise him, so nothing can go wrong.
After hearing this, the prince felt that the burden was even heavier.
Yu Yuanzheng was also listening to these words nearby, but it would have been more interesting if she hadn't said the last sentence.
But this is the way that the King and Concubine get along with each other, and it is also another kind of sweetness.
These days, Shangguan Ziqi is running the pharmacy business very successfully.
There are branches in several counties around the capital.
The production base in Zhuangzi has been expanded again.
He asked farmers to do some of the processes that did not require technical skills, and he paid people to take up key positions, which not only ensured that the technology would not be leaked, but also increased the income of nearby villagers.
He also asked some retired soldiers to do escort, delivery and receiving work.
Everyone cooperated perfectly.
In order to be away for a while, Shangguan Ziqi found the owner of the first shop, He Yuan, and Liu Mingde, the eldest son of Yu Yuanzheng.
These two people are Shangguan Ziqi's biggest helpers in business.
Liu Mingde is a bodyguard. Although he lost one arm, after he got out of the trough of life, he trained his left hand and his martial arts skills are pretty good.
One of them is a scholar and the other is a warrior, and they cooperate very well.
Liu Ruanshi also trained herself and was in charge of the pill production in the workshop in the city.
He Yuan is no longer just the owner of a shop, but the head manager of the entire pill business.
He was the one who opened each shop, and then he would select a successor, let it go, and move on to the next one.
Liu Mingde is responsible for staffing.
He travelled a lot and got to know quite a few people. He was good at finding assistants, pharmacists and accountants.
He also had connections in the escort agency, and sometimes he would provide some medicine to his friends in the escort agency and establish relationships by charging a little less money.
The healing medicines prescribed by Yu Yuanzheng were so effective that even the army used them, and those escort girls loved them even more.
That's why Shangguan Ziqi valued him highly.
The two of them arrived at the workshop in the city, and Shangguan Ziqi was already waiting in the living room.
"Meet the eldest master."
"Everyone, sit down." Shangguan Ziqi was still sitting in the wheelchair.
"I called you here today because I have something to discuss with you." Shangguan Ziqi said straight to the point.
"Please speak, young master." He Yuan bowed.
He was already forty years old, and had been the shopkeeper for many years under the old prince. However, the prince had too many talented people, and it was not easy to stand out. When he came to the eldest son, he was directly entrusted with important tasks, and he felt that his talents were fully utilized.
"I am planning to go on a long journey, and I plan to take you two with me. I will open a shop wherever I go. Do you two have the confidence?"
"What? Really?" He Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this.
How big does your business want to be, young master?
Liu Mingde also opened his eyes suddenly.
I didn't expect that after following the eldest young lady, his future would be so bright.
When he returns, he wants to worship the gods and Buddhas.
"Well, both of you are people I trust. You can arrange things in the capital and find people to take over the affairs in your hands. Then in half a month, we will set off and head north.
Each of you should bring a few people with you, especially Manager He. It would be best if you bring a few people who can stand on their own and be managers.
Although we can hire a local manager, we still need to have our own people take charge for a period of time at first, and then look for the right person.”
"Yes, sir. I will bring five people with me."
"Master, can I bring some friends with me? They are also former escorts and retired soldiers. They are all skilled in martial arts, but they are a bit old, in their forties. They don't want to live a life of extravagance anymore and want to settle down." Liu Mingde begged.
He has been much busier than his friends lately. They all come to him and want to hang out with him, but he doesn't dare to tell the eldest son.
Since the topic of hiring people was brought up today, he became bolder.
