of people arrived at the end of the street.A line of people escorted a soft sedan, seeming slow but actually fast. In just a short while, they arrived before Li Chen.The sedan chair creaked forward....Chapter 173: Easy Disposal
"If I were to truly not reward you as such, wouldn't you regret it upon returning" Li Chen laughed heartily.
Liu Sichun politely said, “No regrets.”
Casting a deep look at Liu Sichun, Li Chen said, "After this item begins to be promoted in the future, your Liu family can take one share of the profit."
This promise is worth more than a thousand ounces of gold.
Anyone with common sense knows that if this sweet potato really had such a high yield, even a fraction of the profits would be enough to kill someone.
Liu Sichun's pretty face blushed, and she bowed slightly, saying, "The commoner thanks His Royal Highness!"
"Is that all there is"
Li Chen raised his hand and lifted Liu Sichun's delicate and dainty chin, causing her to look up at him. He said leisurely, "Is there anything else"
Liu Sichun's heart trembled, and she instinctively took a step back to avoid Li Chen's hand. She lowered her head and said, "Your Highness, I need to go back and instruct people to gather sweet potatoes. Please excuse me, Your Highness."
Li Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.
Liu Sichun's maturity and allure have captivated him for a long time.
This kind of woman, like a peach, is also full of the strong aura of a female boss. If you conquer her, it will surely be a unique taste.
But good food is not afraid of being late, and Li Chen has plenty of time and effort.
"Go."
Li Chen didn't force Liu Sicun to stay, he generously let her go.
Liu Sichun, as if granted amnesty, let out a breath of relief and bowed deeply. Then, she turned and drifted away, leaving behind a faint fragrance.
Moments later, Chen Tong entered the hall.
"Your Highness, are you interested in the merchant's daughter" Chen Tong dared to ask.
Li Chen frowned, and said in a dry tone: "You're getting more efficient with your tasks now. To inquire about such matters, do you still have any sense of hierarchy"
Chen Tong was startled and hurriedly knelt down, saying: "Your Highness, please forgive me. I am willing to die a thousand deaths."
"However, the Jinyiwei have intelligence that the salt commissioner is a Fourth-Rank Tongzhi who seems to be interested in taking her as his concubine. They have already contacted the Liu family many times..."
Li Chen was taken aback and said, "Salt Transport Commissioner's Office"
"Yes, then the same as the well-known..."
Waving his hand to interrupt Chen Tong, Li Chen said: "This palace is too lazy to know his name. Deal with him properly. If anyone dares to harass us again in the future, punish them severely."
Chen Tong's heart felt at ease, knowing his boldness had paid off. He quickly replied, "I will do it right away."
“Alright, you may leave now. This palace has two important matters to attend to tomorrow. Do not disturb me unless it is necessary.”
......
Liu Sichun left the East Palace and, after returning to the Liu family's estate in the capital that had been lost and regained, immediately summoned his peers and elders to pass on the news.
“I have already met with the Crown Prince. He values this object greatly. If we handle it properly, this will be the second opportunity for our Liu family after salt transport, even more important than salt transport. We must do our utmost and carefully complete this matter.”
Liu Sichun said, turning his head to look at a young man, "Second brother, I trouble you to go to Zhejiang and Fujian in person. You must be personally responsible."
That young man said nonchalantly, "I see."
Seemingly accustomed to the youth's attitude, Liu Sichun didn't make a fuss. He turned his head and addressed an elder: "Third Uncle, how much silver is left in the account"
The old man replied, “About another thousand taels are available.”
Give Second Brother five hundred taels. fear of death.His eyes were no longer arrogant, resentful and venomous, but filled with pleading and fear.He clutched onto Li Chen's legs, squeezing out a sentence with all his might: "Spare... my li...
