Chapter Thirty-Four: Cai Jing Attacks

Oh? What kind of business is it?"

Pan Shishan looked at Jiang Chen expectantly.

Jiang Chen did not answer directly, but looked at the tall, simple young man next to Shopkeeper Pan and said, "Who is this?"

"This is Pan Shun, the son of my Pan family. His ancestors have been raising horses and driving carts for our Pan family for generations. He is the most capable of his duties.

I thought that my dear brother didn’t have a carriage at home, so I asked him to drive the carriage over and make a fortune with my dear brother.”

After Pan Shishan finished speaking, Pan Shun immediately bowed and saluted: "Little Pan Shun, I have met the master!"

"Okay! As long as you work hard in the future, I will not treat you badly!"

Jiang Chen nodded and asked his cousin to take Pan Shun down to place the carriages and horses, and then said to Pan Shishan:

"Brother Pan, I have a way to purify sucrose. The resulting white sugar not only tastes pure, but is also as beautiful as snow. Are you interested?"

"My dear brother, you actually have such a wonderful way to make money?"

Shopkeeper Pan was so excited that his breathing became rapid.

He knew that investing in Jiang Chen would definitely pay off, but he didn't expect the returns would come so quickly.

Seeing Jiang Chen nodding affirmatively, he forced himself to calm down and said, "Brother, if you can really make that kind of white sugar, you will definitely make a fortune every day. But... I'm afraid others will miss you!"

"I have thought about this, so I want to recruit a few more people to come in and do this business with us."

Jiang Chen nodded in approval and said with a smile: "I have already thought about the candidates, Yang Jian, Yang Tiju, Empress Zheng's eldest brother Zheng Yizhi, Liu Guifei's brother Liu Feng, Wang Guifei's brother Wang Jian, and so on.

There is Gao Handle, the eldest son of Master Gao Qiugao."

"Is this...is this true? Aren't you afraid of being jealous of the officials?"

Pan Shishan couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock when he saw that Jiang Chen was going to kill the three most powerful and favored nobles in the harem, as well as the two most favored officials from the official family.

"Thirty percent of the profit will be given to Yang Tiju to the internal treasury and dedicated to the government, and the rest will be divided equally between us!"

Jiang Chen smiled and held out three fingers.

"Okay! This way everything is safe!"

Pan Shishan clapped his hands and laughed excitedly.

I thought to myself: If this business can be successful and I can win over so many noble people at once, I might have the opportunity to transfer my brother to a position in the capital. The gift of this house is really worth it!

With this in mind, after Jiang Chen wrote down the secret recipe, he couldn't wait to take it back to find someone to make it.

After Jiang Chen had eaten the exquisite meal sent by Wangyue Tower, he soaked in the big wooden basin comfortably and enjoyed the gentle and shy service of Liu Yueniang and the little girl Xiang'er.

After being touched many times by their delicate little hands, Jiang Chen couldn't help but stare at Liu Yueniang with fiery eyes.

Liu Yueniang immediately trembled at her waist and quickly expressed the worries she had suppressed in her heart:

"Official, now that you have become an official and have a concubine like this, a wife who has been a widower will probably be laughed at and criticized. Why don't you... why don't you divorce me and marry someone who is well-matched to your family."

"You think beautifully!

I don’t know how many lifetimes of merit I have accumulated to marry such a good woman like you, but I still want to run away? Let’s give birth to ten or eight fat boys for my husband first. Haha..."

While Jiang Chen was speaking, he suddenly stood up and directly carried Liu Yueniang into the big wooden basin.

"ah--"

As the steaming water splashed and overflowed, the little girl Xiang'er covered her cute big almond eyes and turned around quickly. She felt like her eyes were going to go blind!

Liu Yueniang was so embarrassed that she couldn't help herself. She struggled gently and said: "Guardian, please let me go quickly, you have made my clothes wet."

"Madam, it is not suitable for you to wear this kind of clothes anymore! Come on, I will help you take it off, and I will buy you a set tomorrow."

"Guanren, don't... Xiang'er is still here."

"I can't see anything, I'm blind!"

Well……

A sleepless night.

The next day, Liu Yueniang lazily got up and found that it was already three o'clock in the morning and there was no trace of Jiang Chen around her.

I couldn't help calling out with a face full of embarrassment: "Xiang'er, where is the official? Why didn't you wake me up?"

"My uncle didn't let us call you. He said that he would let the young lady sleep until she wakes up naturally. Her hands cramped while counting the money."

After the words fell, Xiang'er and Aunt Liu, who was carrying a hot water basin, walked in from the outside.

"Hmph! It's like he's talking about how lazy I am, and it's not like he won't let me sleep at night."

Liu Yueniang whispered bitterly.

"Haha~!"

After hearing this, Fourth Aunt Liu, while she and Xiang'er served Liu Yueniang to get up, she said with a smile: "I have never heard of a husband who dotes on his wife so much. Yueniang, you can enjoy your happiness in peace from now on. Xiang'er and I will serve Haochen

Brother's."

"..."

Liu Yueniang was shy and sweet at the same time, and changed the subject: "My husband has offended the Wang family so much, I wonder if he will be in trouble today?"

When Liu Yueniang was worried and asking questions about Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen had already been summoned from the Secretariat to the Chongzheng Hall in the palace.

Inside Chongzheng Hall!

Cai Jing, who has white hair and beard, and a majestic face, does not squint; Jia Xiang, the eunuch who delivers the order, has a chrysanthemum face full of ill intentions; Yang Jian keeps winking at Jiang Chen...

Although Jiang Chen couldn't understand what he meant specifically, he also knew that it would definitely not be a good thing, because Liang Shicheng, the official who told him to come here, never gave him a good look along the way.

So while he woke up secretly, he saluted Song Huizong and said, "Wei Chen Secretary Zuo Lang Jiang Chen pays homage to the official!"

"Hiraishin!"

Song Huizong raised his hand, pointed at a group of memorials and said, "Jiang Zuolang, do you know what is written in these memorials?"

"Wei Chen doesn't know."

Jiang Chen showed a scared expression towards Song Huizong.

Well……

Song Huizong's mouth twitched, almost amused by his strange appearance.

Thinking that Jiang Chen was still young and had contributed a lot to the secret recipe for making salt, he said in a gentle tone: "These are all to show that you have not cultivated your personal ethics and are unworthy of your official status!"

On your first day as an official, you beat the court officials in public and extorted money. You really let me down! Do you want the subjects to think that I am ignorant?"

Snapped--

When Song Huizong spoke, he became angry again and directly threw the memorial in his hand in front of Jiang Chen.

"The official family, the humble minister, I..."

Jiang Chen quickly wanted to explain that he thought he was right.

But Cai Jing suddenly interrupted: "In the official family, Jiang Zuolang was young and successful, so it is understandable that he would be a little more arrogant.

Since he contributed a lot by presenting the secret recipe for making salt, why not give him a chance to redeem himself and make meritorious service!"

To make meritorious deeds?

What am I guilty of?

Jiang Chen looked at Cai Jing with a depressed expression. As soon as he opened his mouth, Song Huizong asked Cai Jing: "Does Prime Minister Cai have any good suggestions?"

Cai Jing cupped his hands and replied: "Old minister, I heard that Jiang Zuolang boasted that he was good at making the country economically prosperous. It just so happened that the Jiaofang Division was becoming increasingly poor in management, so why not let Jiang Zuolang go and give it a try.

If he has talent and can improve management, not only will his merits and demerits be balanced, but the ministers will no longer think that the officials are ignorant of people! Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
