Chapter 363: The Perfume Workshop

"Hua Tuo, I have heard of this man's reputation. He is said to have extraordinary medical skills. I never expected that he would have such a big enmity with you!"

"It's easy to say. If Gu can personally govern, Dong Gong can control the army, and ten Hua Tuo can also help you capture Xuchang. No, Xuchang Gu still can't get used to living there. One day, Gu will return to Luoyang!"

The ten major delusions in life, I can do it again, it happened to Xiandi very badly.

Obviously nothing had changed, but with a few words from Dong Cheng and a doctor, Liu Xie made a big bet against Fang Guang.

It can be seen that the former King Chenliu, who was famous for his intelligence, had lost his understanding of the nature of things after being imprisoned by Dong Zhuo for so many years.

Entering the palace today, important matters have been decided, and several people accompanied His Majesty for a conversation. They were afraid that they would stay in the palace too long and Cao Hong would be suspicious, so they resigned.

There are still ten days left for the Spring Festival, so Jiping's top priority is naturally to distribute the medicine for Fang Guang's mental disorder.

Among the members of Dong Cheng's party, Wu Shuo, the councilor, was very resourceful.

Wu Shuo advised General Chariot and Cavalry that this matter could only be carried out if Fang Guang agreed.

It would be inappropriate to go to the young man directly. It would be best to discuss the matter with Fang Guang through the Xuxian County Magistrate and Xuchang Prefect Man Chong.

Dong Chengshen thought so and ordered the prince to obey Wu Zilan and assist Wu Shuo in his actions. He also went to note it!

Fang Guang didn't know that he had become the number one target of the Xuchang court's conspiracy.

For several days in a row, the young man led Zhao Yun and Guan Hai to peacefully seize land in Xuchang and resolve unfair cases. Every day, he listened to the nobles from the aristocratic families crying and acting in front of them, full of negative energy.

On this day, the chief agricultural officer and the army guard's lieutenant took a break from his busy schedule and left all important affairs to Zilong. He himself took four beautiful ladies to the perfume shop in Xuchang West Market.

This perfume was originally used to make money to subsidize the military budget after picking up girls.

When Fang Guang was away, all the business in Xuchang and the young man were left to Ma Liang. Ma's Wuchang family thrived in Xuchang like a fish in water.

The Dongjun School was opened in the city. Ma Liang, who was in charge of the school, and members of several aristocratic families, asked the young Ma Liang to let his heirs enroll in the school.

Baimao was already wild and arrogant, but Fang Guang did not restrain him, and even forced him to be full of anger. Every day he was either drinking and discussing studies, or on his way to drink and discuss studies.

Ma Liang was too lazy to pay attention to the business affairs of merchants, so he left everything to his younger brother Ma Su. A seven-year-old boy, after school, sat in the most prosperous market in Xuchang, selling women's cosmetics, which became a scene in Xuchang.

Fang Guang came to the perfume store today, without informing the people in the store in advance, and took four girls with headscarves. He just walked past the place where the Chen family was massacred, and heard Ma Su's childish voice.

"Your account book is wrong. It's missing twenty-three copper coins and one hundred and thirty husks of corn. It's not a big amount, but it just doesn't match up. If Brother Datong knew about it, he would think that I don't know much about number theory!"

In the perfume store, a seven-year-old child could not reach the counter yet. He stood on a wooden stool and looked at the account book in his hand. His face was full of composure that was inconsistent with his grade.

In front of the child, there was an old man with a white beard and a long robe. He must be the shopkeeper of a perfume shop, and was trained by Pony Su. Although it was cold in early spring, the sweat on his face was pouring down.

"Mr. Ma, no, Master Youchang, several gentlemen under my command have calculated this account several times, and it is indeed unfair!"

"Our perfume store business can make up for the shortfall in a few days, or else, just wipe it out like this?"

In the world, only Xuchang has a perfume workshop, which is used by the palace. The people of the city's noble families, merchants from Chengdu, Jiankang, and even Yecheng are vying to give the young man more money.

Although the amount of deficit calculated by Ma Su is large, in the perfume workshop, it is only two or three days' turnover.

This white-bearded shopkeeper made Ma Di angry with just a simple word!

"Erase it? If Brother Datong wipes out so much of his business like you do, how much money will be lost in a year? How many soldiers can he support?"

"Come here, you and the rest of us will come and listen to me settle the accounts!"

"The petals of these lilacs, the freight from Yanzhou is different in autumn and winter, so you can calculate it accordingly, and you will be short of thirteen copper coins and seventy dendrobium rice!"

"Including the shochu workshop, the porter's nine guan and fifty-eight hu of rice, the account is still short of one qian and two hu of rice!"

"This little thing can't be calculated. Naturally, someone from our business took it for personal use. The calculation is exactly ten kilograms of soju. Do you still want me to calculate it carefully?"

With a few words, Ma Su convinced the white-bearded old man and the assistants around him.

Speaking of drinking, in the perfume workshop, three or four people working together looked at a young man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.

The man could not withstand the pressure and fell to his knees with a thud.

"Mr. Ma is really a master of calculation. It was my Ermao who got addicted to alcohol and took the money from the shop to buy wine!"

"Your Excellency, your calculations are accurate and accurate!"

An adult kowtowed to the seven-year-old child in front of him. The scene was very funny. Behind Fang Guang, Diao Chan listened to Cai Yan talking about Ma Su's identity. The more she thought about it, the funnier she became. She covered the mouth of the cherry, shook her shoulders and snickered.

"The principles taught by Brother Datong in the school are for merchants to learn prudence. Today it is only ten pounds of soju, but tomorrow it may be ten shops!"

"I can't keep you here anymore. You have to make up for the wine money, otherwise, I'm going to find Uncle Guan!"

The Uncle Guan mentioned by Ma Su was naturally Guan Hai. This middle-aged man who liked to fight in a turban, led the vanguard cavalry to patrol the city every day, and was now quite famous in Xuchang.

Guan Hai can't play in high-end games, but he can still hold on to low-end and mid-range situations.

When Ma Su carried Guan Hai out, the man who had stolen the money was so frightened that he begged for mercy, saying that he would have to pay back the money even if he sold the house within three days.

At this moment, a young man's clear voice came from outside the perfume workshop.

"If I remember correctly, you are from the same village as Miaocai. Please recommend him to come to my place to help!"

"Since you are from the same hometown as Miaocai, you don't have to pay back the money. If your temperament is not in line with the way of a merchant, and you want to join the army, or do farming outside the city, I can arrange it!"

"Brother Datong!"

"I've met Mr. Fang!"

"General Fang!"

Everyone did not expect that the owner of this shop, Si Nong of Jiu Qing and the commander of the Central Guard Army, would suddenly appear here.

The man who stole the money was so speechless that tears welled up on his face. He kowtowed to Fang Guang and said he was sorry to the young man and Xia Houyuan.

"Good wine is not immoral. If you are short of money, you can go to Ma Liang or Shi Tao. Why steal it?"

"Money and silk are nothing, but it is even more inappropriate to hurt General Xiahou's face. You guys are all fellow villagers of Miaocai. Let me tell you, Miaocai has made great contributions in Guanzhong!"

"In a few days, he and Ma Teng from Guanzhong will come to Xuchang. When the time comes, they will have a banquet in my house together!"

Fang Guang told the news that he had just received this morning, and Xia Houyuan's fellow villagers in the perfume workshop started shouting together.
