Chapter 342; Talking about business again

After arriving at the Lu family, I visited Lu Kang and told them to be careful during this period.

Lu Yaoyao left alone, while Lu Mingxi and others stayed at home.

After leaving the Lu family, he originally planned to return to Chengyuan Villa, but not long after the carriage left, Lu Yaoyao asked Qiu Shuang to tell the coachman to divert to Prince Jin's Mansion.

Last time Han Jingcong sent someone to assassinate her, she should also go and say thank you to the King of Jin.

Next, some arrangements are needed to deal with the Han family.

"Your Majesty, the Lord Wanfu County is here."

In the study, King Jin was drinking tea and reading a book. When he heard Yan San's voice, he immediately raised his head.

"Why is she here?"

After saying that, he stood up and walked out.

"I have met His Royal Highness King Jin."

"No need to be too polite, the county master invites you inside."

King Jin did not take Lu Yaoyao to the main hall, but to the Nuan Pavilion next to the main hall.

He remembered that Lu Yaoyao was afraid of the cold.

Entering the Nuan Pavilion, King Jin asked Yan San to prepare tea, and specifically told him to prepare the latest tea.

Since he came back from Lu Yaoyao's villa last time, he also gave up the messy and strange-tasting tea soup and started using Lu Yaoyao's method of making tea.

"Your Highness, thank you very much for the Han family."

Hearing this, King Jin was startled for a moment, then understood and felt a little surprised.

When he arranged for people to intercept and kill the dead members of the Han family, except for deliberately letting people from his own family kill people to attract hatred, he did everything else very cleanly.

Logically speaking, only the Han family knew that he was the one who intercepted and killed those dead soldiers.

But now Lu Yaoyao thanked him as soon as he opened his mouth, making it clear that he knew what he had done.

It seems that she is really extraordinary.

But think about it, how could a girl from an abandoned farm be an ordinary person and become the county owner who has the most sacred heart?

Not to mention that she also has many magical means in her hands. Let’s not talk about anything else. Just talk about food, paper making, and printing. Which of these are not allowed by other people from aristocratic families?

But not only did she move, she even had nothing to do with her. The Dong family, the first family, even shied away from the sharp edges and was willing to be friends with her.

I'm afraid there's a lot going on here.

"I also dislike those guys, but they just do it casually, so there is no need for you to be polite, County Lord."

"However, it doesn't matter that Han Chengjie and Han Jingcong are both minions, but I heard that the head of the Han family will come to the capital soon. This person is not Han Jingcong or his ilk."

"Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness, won't I come to see you now?"

Lu Yaoyao smiled, and then said: "I have a business here, and I want to recruit His Highness Prince Jin to join me. Are you interested?"

Hearing this, King Jin was stunned again. Isn't this talking about the Han family? Why did it suddenly get involved in business?

No, how much do you look down on the Han family?

King Jin was thinking in his heart, but he nodded with a smile on his face and said, "Thanks to the invitation from the county master, I am naturally interested."

"I wonder what kind of business this is?"

"Salt."

As soon as these words came out, King Jin looked shocked. She had thought wrong just now. It wasn't that she didn't take the Han family seriously. Was she planning to dig up the roots of the Han family?

"Oh? The county boss also knows how to make salt?"

"I know a little bit about it."

Lu Yaoyao chuckled and nodded.

"Then I wonder how the county owner plans to do this business?"

"Completely destroying the Han family's path."

Sure enough, ever since he heard that Han Chengjie ignored Han Jingcong's persuasion and secretly hired someone to attack Lu Kang, King Jin had a feeling in his heart that the Han family was really playing with fire this time.

Hearing Lu Yaoyao's words at this time, he knew that the end of the Han family was coming soon.

"This is not easy, and we don't have any salt mines or salt fields now."

"So I have to find another person to join us. I think he will be very happy."

Hearing this, King Jin immediately frowned.

"If this is the case, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for me to join."

"Your Highness, you worry too much. Sometimes you avoid things too much, which actually makes people think there is something wrong."

In addition to the salt mines controlled by the Han family in Dongzhou, the most powerful one is the current sage, Emperor Hongwen.

When Lu Yaoyao said just now that he was looking for someone else, King Jin had already thought of it.

So he chooses the inevitable without hesitation. This is a habit he has developed over the years. He will avoid those highly sensitive and high-risk things as soon as possible.

He was just afraid of being targeted by Emperor Hongwen, after all, this could be fatal.

Salt and iron, there is no doubt that they are both high risks. He had been working on the iron matters for a long time before he stepped down as the main person in charge.

Now adding salt, this is stepping on a minefield.

However, when he heard Lu Yaoyao's meaningful words, King Jin began to think deeply.

After a while, he nodded with a smile and said, "I was careless. Thank you, County Master, for reminding me."

"Since the county master has warmly invited me, I am honored to do so. Will you go to the palace now?"

"certainly."

Then the two went to the palace.

In the imperial study, Emperor Hongwen was stunned when he heard that his chamberlain reported that King Jin and the Lord of Wanfu County were outside seeking an audience.

"Let them in."

I was thinking, why did these two people come together?

Could it be that you want to express your feelings and ask him to grant a marriage?

Thinking of this, he hesitated a little. He did have the idea to marry the two of them before, but because of some of King Jin's recent behaviors, he hesitated.

"I have met His Majesty."

"No gift."

After saying that, Emperor Hongwen stood up, walked to the soft spot on the side, and at the same time called for the two of them to come over and sit there.

"Why are you two here together?"

His eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, with a trace of ambiguity in his eyes.

Seeing this, Lu Yaoyao immediately thought of what King Jin had mentioned before. Knowing that Emperor Hongwen had misunderstood, he quickly said, "Come here to discuss business with your Majesty."

"."

Talking about business again?

When did this royal study become a business place?

Knowing that he had gone astray, Emperor Hongwen was not embarrassed at all, but rather speechless.

"Only you dare to come to this imperial study room to discuss business with me."

Emperor Hongwen laughed and shook his head, and continued, "Tell me, what kind of business is this time?"

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao did not speak directly, but gestured around with his eyes.

Seeing this, Emperor Hongwen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought to himself: What on earth is Wanfu doing? Isn't it talking about business? Why is it so mysterious?

However, he still pushed away the servants around him, leaving only Wang De alone.

"Why do you have to be so careful in your business?"

Emperor Hongwen asked.

"Your Majesty should be aware of some of the recent conflicts between my daughter and the Han family, right?"

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen's eyes sparkled, he stared straight at Lu Yaoyao, and asked uncertainly, "Do you want to discuss the salt business with me this time?"

"Exactly. I wonder if Your Majesty is interested?"

"Do you still know how to make salt?"

Emperor Hongwen asked instead without replying.

"I have always done so. Your Majesty has also eaten the salt made by your servants."

"Have I eaten? When?"

At this time, not only Emperor Hongwen was confused, but King Jin and Wang De also looked at Lu Yaoyao with confusion.

"Baizhenlou, didn't your Majesty have a meal there?"

"Why does your Taoist lady's Baizhen Restaurant's dishes far exceed those of other restaurants? Apart from the chef's income, it's also because of the fineness of the seasonings."
