Chapter 49 Don't Conflict With King Yi (Part [-])
Every time Zhao Rushu went home, he would go to his favorite concubine, Mrs. Lu, because Mrs. Lu gave birth to a son for him, who was only two years old now.

He would look at his younger son first, and then go back to his study.

But today, when he heard that King Yi was coming to the mansion, he also came with Yuan Mihai, so he immediately came to Yuan's side.

Zhao Rushu frowned slightly when he saw Yuan Mihai. He didn't like Yuan Mihai very much. Yuan often used his name to do things outside, but every time he got money, he could share it with him, so Zhao Rushu Naturally turn a blind eye and close one eye, and sometimes help him deal with the aftermath.

"Greetings, Uncle." Yuan Mihai said with a low eyebrow.

"How did you know King Yi?"

"We went to Fenglai Building together and met."

"King Yi also likes this?" Zhao Rushu looked in disbelief.

"The King of Yi bought the Fenglai Building. Originally, I wanted to buy it too. Seeing that the King of Yi wanted to sell it, I gave it to him."

Zhao Rushu nodded, and looked up at him: "That should be the case, don't conflict with King Yi."

Hiss, Yuan Mihai secretly gasped, his face turned pale, thinking that it's a good thing he didn't tell the truth, otherwise he would die.

"It seems that the prime minister values ​​King Yi very much?" Yuan said deliberately at this time.

"I just came back from the prime minister's mansion." Zhao Ru said: "I heard from the prime minister that today the officials still leave King Yi to eat in the palace. This is something that even the prince Zhao Mian has never done."

"Hiss..." Yuan Mihai and Yuan Shi took another breath of air at the same time, their expressions changed drastically.

Zhao Rushu glanced at the two of them again, hesitated to speak, thought again, and was afraid that Yuan Mihai would cause some trouble, so he asked again: "You didn't have any conflict with King Yi, did you?"

"No, no, of course not, otherwise, how could King Yi go to the mansion to meet uncle, and King Yi and I are friends now." Yuan Mihai shook his head desperately, and refused to admit it.

"It's fine if you don't have one. Don't cause trouble. King Yi is the prime minister." Zhao Rushu said: "The official family is still very loving and has a bright future."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, and then said: "The crown prince of the Great Song Dynasty has not been confirmed for a day, and anything can happen."

Yuan Mihai's face was pale, and he became more and more frightened.

In fact, Zhao Rushu was thinking even more in his heart, even if the crown prince is appointed, so what?Isn't the former prince sick?

The emperor will die at any time.

Shi Miyuan was already arranging for Zhao Mian to be abolished at this time. As Shi Miyuan's confidant, Zhao Rushu was not sure, but he had some idea. Knowing that Shi Miyuan and Zhao Mian were rivals, Shi Miyuan would definitely not want to see Zhao Mian go smoothly. Enthroned to succeed.

At this time, Wu said with a smile: "It seems that it is a blessing that Mihai and King Yi became friends. By the way, master, this is a gift from King Yi today."

Zhao Rushu took it in his hand and found that it was a famous inkstone, with a faint smile on his face.

Of course he didn't pay much attention to Mingyan, but King Yi's kindness made him more useful.

At this time, his voice was much softer than before: "Mihai is able to meet King Yi, it is considered a predestined relationship, we should make friends and move around more."

"Yes, Mihai knows." Yuan Mihai echoed in a low voice with a respectful expression on his face.

"I heard from the prime minister that King Yi likes older beauties and money. Mihai should start from this aspect and try to match what he likes. Maybe in the future, he may get more rewards."

Yuan Mihai's eyes lit up, and the depressed mood just now disappeared in an instant.

"King Yi actually likes money?" Yuan Shi asked in confusion.

"King Yi used to be just an ordinary citizen who lived in poverty in the countryside of Shaoxing. Now that he is King Yi, there is nothing wrong with liking money." Zhao Ru said in his heart, who doesn't like money, and I like money now.

"I'm afraid that King Yi is a bottomless pit, and my Mihai family doesn't have much money." Yuan sighed.

"Don't be afraid, Uncle supports you." Zhao Rushu said loudly.

Yuan Mihai was overjoyed when he heard that, before he could stammer and say thank you, Zhao Rushu said to Yuan Shi, "I will give Mihai a hundred guan later."

"..." Yuan Mihai almost vomited blood, but he still had to say, "Thank you uncle."

After Zhao Rushu and Yuan Shi said a few words, they excitedly went to see their precious little son.

Yuan Shi looked at Yuan Mihai with a bitter face, and knew that Yuan Mihai would definitely be unable to escape this time when he vomited blood.

She really felt sorry for her nephew, so she said: "Mihai, don't worry, aunt still has some private money, you can use it for now."

As soon as Zhao and Rui returned to the palace, they received good news.

Prime Minister Shi Miyuan sent someone to send a carriage of belongings, and the gifts were very strange. Among them, there were [-] guan of copper coins, [-] guan of huizi, and [-] guan of iron coins. (This thing is mainly used in Sichuan, and it is about two to one with copper coins. It is estimated that it is filial piety of officials in Sichuan)
Then there are a bunch of rare treasures, including gold and silver ornaments, coral gemstones, famous inkstones of ancient paintings and so on.

These things should have been given to Shi Miyuan by others, and Shi Miyuan then gave them to Zhao Yurui.

But Zhao Yurui didn't know what to buy. Except for gold and silver jewelry, I didn't know how much other things were worth.

He immediately asked Zhou Lai and others to bring the items to the street to find shops to sell, and asked for the same item, at least two or three different shops.

It took Zhou Lai and others a few days to clear all the goods, and finally sold them for more than 400 taels of silver, [-] guan coins, and [-] guan huizi, making a fortune.

Shi Miyuan probably didn't know the price of many things, but they were actually not cheap, especially in the Southern Song Dynasty, corals were sold in twos, and the market price was one tael or five guan, and the corals sold for a lot of money.

Then Yuan Mihai sent [-] guan, of which silver and copper coins accounted for most.

At this time, Zhao Yurui's wealth was close to [-] copper coins, and in less than a month, he became an upstart in the Song Dynasty.

Of course, Shi Miyuan knew about his crazily accumulating money. Shi Miyuan laughed every day when he thought of it in the mansion, and the thought of abolishing the prince Zhao Mian was even more serious in his heart.

Early in the morning three days later.

Zhao Yurui came to the kitchen, Mrs. Xu and Xiaotao were also here at this time, and Quan Baochang, Quan Yong and his son were also present.

Today, King Yi said that he would cook by himself, and everyone was very surprised.

Zhao Yurui looked at the ingredients that had just been bought in the kitchen, including a red-feathered chicken, two fresh big fish, a piece of pork belly, and some other vegetables.

After looking at the ingredients, I went to look at the seasoning. What was lacking in ancient cooking was the seasoning. Zhao Yurui looked at it and saw a lot of strange things: "Is this salt? Is this also salt? Didn't you just buy it, that's all?"

There are three types of salt in the Song Dynasty, granule salt (Jiechi salt from Shanxi Road and salt from Hedong Road), which are mainly sold in the north, and you can tell from the name that they are relatively large.

The second type is well salt from Sichuan, and the third type is end salt (that is, sea salt) from the southern coast.

There are two types of salt in Wei Wangfu, one is private salt and the other is official salt. (all salt)

The official salt is given by the imperial court, according to the titles of Zhao and Rui, one hundred catties per month.

The private salt was bought by the Chief Security Officer from the street, because the official salt was really unedible.
