Chapter 266: The Empress Has ArrivedChapter 710: The Profit of Soap
"Some time ago, the Liu family almost sold all their assets to raise funds for that money-lending house. They even became a laughing stock in the city. If the Crown Prince truly valued them, would they have had to sell their possessions"
Zhao Tailai thought there was reason in these words.
If the Crown Prince truly valued the Liu family, he wouldn't have let them sell their assets, would he
At this moment, the man egged him on again: “Zhao Ge, even if we assume the worst, your grandfather is a Grand Councilor. Our family's elder is also on the Grand Councilor's side. Now we are in a fierce struggle with the Eastern Palace, so if we can cause some trouble for the Liu family, it would also be indirectly helping our own family.”
With a sly smile, he lowered his voice and said: “Besides, Brother Zhao, you're going to Jinling next month. What difference does it make if the capital goes topsy-turvy Once we have the formula, who will care”
This is a business worth at least millions of taels of silver this year.
The more Zhao Tai listened, the more his heart was moved. The more he listened, the more he felt it made sense.
The last sentence, a business worth millions of taels, drove him completely mad.
“Let's go! Let's pay a visit to the Liu family now!”
Zhao Tailai slammed his cup down on the table and stood up, saying...
Although the young men at the table were wary of the Eastern Palace, when they saw Zhao Tai step forward first, they also stood up. They felt that no matter what, as long as they got involved and had Zhao Tai leading the way, they would get a share of the spoils. If they didn't participate, they would end up with nothing in the end.
Zhao Tailai is going to Jinling, so the vacancy in the capital, isn't it just for a few of them to divide up
If something really goes wrong, there's still Zhao Tailai in front.
Everyone chimed in, eager to help Zhao Ge seize this tremendous opportunity.
A group of people, emboldened by alcohol, decided to leave on a whim.
Zhao Tailai took the lead and poured out.
No one noticed that the young master, who had initially instigated things, was deliberately hanging back in the crowd. Watching their retreating figures, he gave a sinister smile and then turned to leave...in the direction of Zhao's Mansion.
As this group of people left Yimei Garden, they hadn't walked far when they saw a long queue in front of a shop at the entrance of the market. Most of the people in line were women dressed in silk and brocade, clearly from wealthy families.
Now that the Qin Empire's economy is in shambles, people are tightening their belts. There are few shops where people queue up to buy things, let alone those where only wealthy women would line up, making it even more unique.
Zhao Tailai looked up at the shop sign and saw the name "Lan Yue Xuan" written on it.
Needless to say, Zhao Tailai knew that Lan Yue Xuan was Liu's family business in the capital city. It was a unique brand.
Since he was here to cause trouble, Zhao Tailai naturally wouldn't queue up. He bypassed the waiting crowd and went straight into Lan Yue Xuan.
The store is quite spacious, spanning three floors. Various shelves are stocked with a wide array of goods, from everyday household items to simple antiques and decorations, catering to all needs.
Several shop assistants were bustling about, now and then carrying out rectangular objects wrapped in oiled paper from the back.
These square objects were handed to the front, and then people in line took turns, paying five taels of silver each to receive one. Everything was busy but orderly.
Zhao Tailai took a glance and saw that the money box on the counter was almost overflowing. He roughly estimated that there were at least two or three thousand taels inside.ks and not the ways of people, then how did Zhou Xuan manage to navigate so many years with those who sought to court him, and how did Dantai Jing effortlessly maintain his connections and influence o...
