Every time Zhao Rushu returns home, he first goes to his favorite concubine, Mrs. Lu, because Mrs. Lu gave him a son who is only two years old now.

He will check on his youngest son first and then return to the study.

But today I heard that King Yi came to the house and came with Yuan Mihai, so I immediately came to the Yuan family.

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, I turned a blind eye and sometimes even helped him deal with the aftermath.

"Meet my uncle." Yuan Mihai said with a low eyebrow.

"How did you meet King Yi?"

"We met at Fenglai Building together."

"King Yi also likes this?" Zhao Rushu looked incredulous.

"King Yi bought Feng Lai Building. I originally wanted to buy it too, but when I saw that King Yi wanted to sell it, I gave it to him."

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

Hiss, Yuan Mihai took a deep breath and turned pale, thinking that it was a good thing he didn't tell the truth, otherwise he would have been dead.

"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 recounted: "I heard from the Prime Minister that today the official family stayed King Yi to eat in the palace. This is something that even the prince Zhao Hong has never done."

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

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

"No, no, of course not, otherwise why would King Yi go to the palace to meet his uncle? King Yi and I are friends now." Yuan Mihai shook his head desperately, refusing to admit it.

"It's fine if you don't have it. Don't cause trouble. King Yi is the prime minister's date." Zhao Ru said: "The officials are very loving and have a bright future."

Having said this, he paused and then said: "If the position of the crown prince of the Song Dynasty is not determined for a day, anything may happen."

Yuan Mihai turned pale and became more and more frightened.

In fact, Zhao Rushu was thinking more at this moment, so what if the crown prince is determined? Wasn’t the former crown prince still ill?

The emperor can die at any time.

Shi Miyuan was already making arrangements to depose Zhao Hong. Zhao Rushu was a close confidant of Shi Miyuan. Although he was not sure, he had some idea. Knowing that Shi Miyuan and Zhao Hong were mortal enemies, Shi Miyuan would definitely not want to see Zhao Hong go smoothly.

The one who takes over the throne.

Wu laughed at this time and said: "It seems that it is a blessing for Mihai to become friends with King Yi. By the way, sir, this is the gift that King Yi sent to my door today."

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

Of course he didn't take Mingyan seriously, but King Yi's thoughts made him more comfortable with it.

At this time, his voice was much softer than before: "Mihai can be acquainted with King Yi, so it is considered destined. We should make good friends and move around more."

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

"I heard from the Prime Minister that King Yi likes older beauties and money. Mihai should start from this aspect and invest more in what he likes. Maybe he will get more rewards in the future."

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

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

"King Yi used to be just an ordinary citizen, living in poverty in the countryside of Shaoxing. Now that he is king, there is nothing wrong with liking money." Zhao Rushu thought to himself, who doesn't like money, I also like money now.

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

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

Yuan Mihai was overjoyed when he heard this. Before he could stammer out a thank you, Zhao Rushu said to Yuan: "You will give Mihai a hundred guans later."

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

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

Mrs. Yuan looked at Yuan Mihai with a sad face and knew that Yuan Mihai would definitely not be able to escape this time after vomiting blood for thirty thousand guans.

She felt really sorry for her nephew, so she said, "Don't worry, my aunt still has some private money, so 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 deliver a carriage of property, and the things he sent were very strange. Among them, there were 1,000 guan of copper coins, 10,000 guan of Huizi, and 5,000 guan of iron coins.

Comparing it, I guess it’s the filial piety of the officials in Sichuan)

Then there are a bunch of various rare treasures, including gold and silver jewelry, coral gems, ancient paintings and famous inkstones, etc.

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

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

He immediately asked Zhou Lai and others to take the items to the streets to find shops selling them, and asked at least two or three different shops for the same item.

It took Zhou Lai and others several days to clear out all the goods. In the end, they sold them for more than 1,400 taels of silver, 7,000 guan of copper coins, and 38,000 guan of copper coins, making a huge profit.

Shi Miyuan probably didn't know the price of many things, but they were actually not cheap. In particular, corals were sold at two or two in the Southern Song Dynasty. The market price was one to two or five dollars, and the corals were sold for a lot of money.

Then Yuan Mihai sent 30,000 coins, of which silver and copper coins accounted for most.

Zhao Yurui's wealth at this time was close to 100,000 copper coins. In just one month, he became a nouveau riche in the Song Dynasty.

Of course, Shi Miyuan knew all about his crazy ways of amassing money. Shi Miyuan laughed every day when he thought about it in the mansion, and the thought of deposing the prince Zhao Hong was even more serious in his mind.

Early in the morning three days later.

Zhao Yurui came to the kitchen. Xu and Xiao Tao were also here at this time. There were also Bao Zhang Quan and Quan Yong and his son.

Today King Yi said that he would cook in person, and everyone was very surprised.

Zhao Yurui looked at the ingredients he had just bought in the kitchen. They included a red chicken, two large fresh fish, a piece of pork belly, and some other vegetables.

After looking at the ingredients, he looked at the seasonings. What was lacking in cooking in ancient times was seasonings. Zhao Yurui took a look and saw a lot of strange things: "Is this salt? Is this also salt? Didn't you just buy it, just like this?"

There were three types of salt in the Song Dynasty: grain salt (Jiechi salt from Shaanxi Road and salt from Hedong Road), which was mainly sold in the north. From the name, you can tell that the grains are larger.

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

There are two types of salt in the Wei Palace, one is private salt and the other is official salt. (Both are powdered salt)

Official salt is given by the imperial court, and according to Zhao and Rui's title, it is one hundred catties per month.
