After Wang Hongfu finished his report, Li Shen asked Xue Rengui

"Rengui, has the goods arrived?"

"Your Majesty, the goods arrived on the night of the third day. They have been delivered to the granary. Currently only Li Tiejun knows about it. He will lead the five shifts of the first team to guard the granary."

"Well, very good. It's loose on the outside and tight on the inside. You must keep an eye on it. It will be transported to the palace during the Zhengyuan Festival. The fewer people who know about it, the better." Li Shen said with satisfaction.

"Don't worry, Lord! Li Tiejun has food and accommodation there now. He has never seen so many things in his life." Xue Rengui smiled at Li Shen.

"My lord, have you decided to take action?" Wang Xuance asked Li Shen at the side. Wang Xuance guessed what Li Shen was thinking.

"Yes, the Zhengyuan Festival is coming soon. I plan to end it before the Zhengyuan Festival, and I can't let them enjoy this Zhengyuan Festival."

"But Your Majesty, if it ends so soon, we will make a lot less money. If it lasts longer, we may double it again." Wang Xuance reminded

"Xuance! Of course I know this, but I'm worried that too many people will be involved. The consequences are too serious, and it may destroy people's families." Li Shen looked at Wang Xuance and continued.

"Don't forget our original intention. Money is not important to me, conscience is the most important." Li Shen looked serious and solemn, and fiddled with a string of divine beads in his hand.

Wang Xuance looked at Li Shen with strange eyes. He suddenly felt that his master, who was carrying the divine bead, had lost his mind or suffered from a brain disease. Didn't the former King Ji have to dig three feet into the ground to scrape out even a drop of oil?

In fact, Wang Xuance felt that he was right. Li Shen was a person who left traces when the wind passed by and plucked out the feathers of a wild goose. He would urinate even if he caught a toad.

It's just that this time, even the royal family members from outside and wealthy businessmen from all over the country came to get involved, and there were more and more people. He was afraid that the matter would get worse and it would not end well, so he was ready to act in advance.

"Have you checked everything that I asked you to check, Old Wang?" Li Shen turned to Wang Hongfu and asked

"My lord, we've checked it out. Most of them are harmless, only one or two may go bankrupt." Wang Hongfu said quickly when he heard Li Shen ask him.

"Go tomorrow, use coercion or inducement, no matter what method you use to collect their things." Li Shen picked up the tea and took a sip gently.

"Xuan Ce, Lao Wang. The plan will be implemented starting tomorrow, so that the people of Chang'an can watch the excitement during the Zhengyuan Festival."

"Yes" Wang Hongfu and Wang Xuance stood up and respectfully accepted the order.

-------------------------------------

December is still a month away from Zhengyuan, and the east and west cities have already begun to become lively.

The same goes for boutique pavilions. This time of year is the busiest time for boutique pavilions.

Because Boutique Pavilion's gift boxes of wine and soap have become the first choice for gift-giving in the upper class, and Zhenguan Brewing, as a top-notch product, is loved by princes, princes, generals and ministers, this month every year will bring Li Shen a lot of income.

But today is a little special. There is a businessman among the lively crowd, but he has nothing to buy. Instead, he came to Wang Hongfu.

"Manager Wang, please take a moment to speak."

Wang Hongfu took the businessman to the guest waiting area next to him and asked with a professional smile, "What's the matter with you?"

"Manager Wang, I wonder if the palace still accepts the divine beads." The businessman asked in a low voice.

"Of course, our prince is going to give the imperial concubine a big gift on the Zhengyuan Festival. The plan includes using divine beads to spell the word "blessing", but there are still many missing. Why do you have divine beads in your hand?"

The merchant looked around and said: "To be honest with the king, I have a hundred divine beads in my hand, and they were the first batch to be purchased.

It was originally intended to be used as a family heirloom, but now that business is doing well, I plan to buy more goods and transport them back to sell.

I put the divine pearl in my hand and heard that it would take three years for Tianzhu people to come back. I thought it would be better to exchange it for money and do some business now. Who knows what will happen in three years. "

"Haha, you're right, who can tell clearly what will happen in three years' time. We can trade at any time, and our boutique pavilion is honest in its work. Here is the post outside, 2500 pieces each, how about it? Bring the magic beads Are you ready?" Wang Hongfu laughed and said

"How can you carry such a divine thing with you? I'll go back and get it. I'll come here with the divine beads at this time tomorrow." After saying this, the businessman saluted Wang Hongfu and walked out.

Wang Hongfu sent the businessman to the door. The waiter at the door asked, "Manager Wang, I saw you smiling so happily just now. What does this person do?"

"For those who sell divine beads, no one has sold them for such a long time. The prince has reprimanded me several times, but this time someone finally sold them. I paid back a hundred beads at a time, thank you! Otherwise, my wages for this year might have been lost." Wang Hong Fu said happily, then turned and walked in.

And a man walked out from a corner not far away and ran away in a hurry.

The businessman came out of the Boutique Pavilion and prepared to return to his residence. Many businessmen who often come to Chang'an for business have residences here, but most of them are not in Dongshi, but in other squares.

"This gentleman, stay here." As soon as the businessman turned around a street, someone shouted from behind him.

The businessman stopped and looked back. A man dressed as a shopkeeper was walking towards him.

"I don't know what you call me for."

"My name is Cui Wang, and I am the shopkeeper of Qinghe Cui's Dongshi Winery. I just saw you, Lang Jun, coming out of the Boutique Pavilion. You didn't buy anything. Is it to sell the divine beads?" Cui Wang introduced himself first.

"Mr. Cui of Qinghe? How disrespectful." The businessman looked surprised and respectful. This made Cui Wang very satisfied.

"Mr. Sir, why don't you come to my place to discuss it in detail. Our Qinghe Cui family also buys divine beads. And the price is definitely higher than that of the boutique pavilion."

The businessman hesitated, his expression changing. It's not okay if you don't want to go, the Cui family can't afford to offend him.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lang, my Cui family has been inherited for hundreds of years, so naturally I won't do anything by force."

"Okay." The businessman finally nodded in agreement.

Cui Wang took the businessman to the Yunlai Restaurant of the Cui family. The two entered a private room and served another pot of tea.

The businessman first said: "To be honest with Shopkeeper Cui, I did go to the boutique pavilion to sell the magic beads."

"Oh?" Cui Wang's eyes lit up. "How many pills does the gentleman want to sell?"

"To be honest, I have a hundred divine beads in my hand, which were the first batch purchased before. At that time, except for Prince Ji's Mansion, not many people bought them. Later, princes and nobles started to buy them, but there are not many anymore.

Not afraid of shopkeeper Cui’s jokes, I also bought a hundred pills impulsively after seeing Prince Ji’s house purchase. Alas~ This is also because I have made some money with Prince Ji’s Mansion in the past few years, otherwise I really wouldn’t be able to afford it. "said the businessman

"That husband is so lucky. It seems that the rumors outside that you can eat meat with King Ji are true." Cui Wang also said with envy. He bought more than 1 guan and now can sell 25 guan. How can he not get a return of more than [-] times? Let Cui Wang envy him.
