Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 83: Full of Rhymes, Follow Me to Suzhou

"Sir?"

"The master is back!"

The guards outside Wenxianglai became excited when they saw Su Chen, and shouted to Su Wang inside Wenxianglai.

Su Wang, who heard the noise, hurriedly left his guests behind and ran out in a hurry. When he saw Su Chen, he immediately showed joy on his face: "Come here, come and prepare the brazier."

"Don't do those unnecessary things."

Su Chen smiled and looked around, "Why don't I see Sun Qiang and the others?"

Su Wang: "I arranged for the two of them to go to the warehouse to take over. I estimate they will be back in a while."

As he said that, Su Wang stopped Su Chen who was about to enter and yelled twice towards the inner room.

"Brazier, where's the brazier?"

"What do you guys eat for free?"

Several servants came running over with braziers, charcoal and red beans.

After putting the charcoal and red beans into the brazier, the fire was immediately ignited.

Su Wang chuckled and said, "Please come in, sir."

Su Chen patted Su Wang's shoulder, and at Su Wang's urging, he stepped over the brazier.

"The long-trapped man is finally freed, and he steps over the fire basin to step on the auspicious sign."

"Congratulations, young master, on your release from prison."

"it is good!"

"..."

Su Chen looked speechlessly at Su Wang, who was clapping happily and ordering people to throw the brazier farther away.

You're talking so much about rhymes, are you going to take the postgraduate entrance examination?
Some customers who were buying soap also recognized Su Chen. Unexpectedly, this guy was released so quickly.

It seems that the government office has not found any evidence.

"Congratulations, Boss Su."

"Congratulations, Mr. Su."

Su Wang, like a seasoned businessman, looked at the guests who were flattering Su Chen and exclaiming, "Our boss from Wenxianglai has escaped from trouble today, and all the soaps are on sale at a 30% discount!"

"The shopkeeper's temper!"

"Give me one of each soap!"

"..."

Su Chen looked back at Su Wang, then went upstairs with a smile.

Su Wang greeted them with a smile and then hurriedly followed.

"Did anything big happen during the few days I was away from Wenxiang?"

"Nothing major happened."

Su Wang said cheerfully, "Although the market in Chang'an City is almost saturated, our business is still pretty good."

"In addition, we have already prepared a batch of sulfur soap, medicinal soap and the like that the young master asked us to make."

"The sulfur soap and medicated soap from our workshop are worth about 30,000 pieces. I'm not sure how much Duke Du has. We have to wait for Sun Qiang and the others to come back for the details."

"But Master Su Bin sent some silver over here, saying that he has opened up a soap market in Hedong recently. Once the soap business is launched, there will be more silver."

Su Chen still believed in Su Bin's ability.

Su Chen nodded, "It's good that nothing serious happened. This batch of soaps can be sent to Sichuan and Shu."

"Son..."

"Where is the young master?"

"Didn't you say that the young master is back?"

At this time.

The puzzled voices of Sun Qiang and the other man were heard downstairs, followed by a burst of footsteps.

Sun Qiang and the other man quickly came to Su Chen, overjoyed.

"Congratulations, young master, on your release from prison."

"Congratulations, sir."

"It's just a few days of stay. Look how excited you are."

Su Chen smiled and asked, "How much soap has Du He produced?"

"There are fifteen thousand pieces of sulfur soap in total, and the medicated soap is a little less, but there are still ten thousand pieces in total."

Sun Qiang remembered it very clearly and gave the specific figures directly, "But what Lord Du meant was that it cost a lot to make so many soaps, and he hoped that you could sell them as soon as possible, otherwise he would be unable to make ends meet."

Whether it is sulfur soap or medicated soap, its cost is naturally higher than ordinary soap.

If Du He could not sell so many soaps in a short period of time, it would undoubtedly be a huge financial pressure for him.

Su Chen waved his hand, "It's okay. If he's short of money, just tell him the amount and Su Wang will arrange for someone to deliver it to him."

"As for this batch of soap, we have to wait until the King of Shu returns to his fiefdom before we can find a way out."

Su Wang was thoughtful. It turned out that Su Chen wanted to expand the Sichuan market.

If they could take over the traditionally prosperous Sichuan region, their soap business would be able to reach a new level.

"By the way, is there any news from Wang Xuance and the others?"

"Never."

Sun Qiang shook his head. "According to their speed, they should have arrived in Yanqi a long time ago, but no news has been sent back yet." Su Chen knocked his palms. There was no news yet.

Did you run into trouble on the road?

With the bravery of Xue Li and Wang Xuance, plus the one hundred guards trained by Wang Xuance himself, they would be able to deal with them even if they encountered a team of 500 soldiers.

What's more, there are more than a hundred people in Roshan's guard team.

At least he won’t be hunted down by a small country in the Western Regions, right?

Su Chen shook his head, threw away his unrealistic fantasy, and said lightly: "It may be that he walked too slowly. He should be back in a few days."

"Your Excellency's words make sense."

Sun Qiang nodded in approval, and then suggested, "Sir, to celebrate your successful release from prison, Jin Yong and I have discussed inviting you to Nishang Tower to have some fun."

Su Chen: “……?”

Jin Yong looked at Sun Qiang strangely, he never said that!

"You miss your cute girl again, don't you?"

"Hey hey hey..."

At this time.

A man walked in from outside, took out a note and placed it in front of Su Chen, "Sir, this was left by a guest, who said it was for you."

"Do you know me?"

"look unfamiliar."

Su Chen raised his chin, Su Wang understood and picked it up and opened it, then he was stunned.

"Son..."

Su Wang paused, "It says here that I admire your methods, but the effect of this matter will depend on the ability of the Cui family. But now there is a trouble in front of you."

"What trouble?"

"Floods in the east of Jiangnan!"

Sun Qiang and the other man looked at each other and nodded in unison.

"Sir, when we went to the storehouse just now, we ran into the courier who was delivering the urgent news. He said that something happened in Jiangnan Road."

"Now it seems that the urgent report that the messenger just mentioned should be this."

Su Chen stood up and walked to the window, looking at the busy street.

This note was undoubtedly sent by Cen Wenben's men.

The reason why he did not reply to the previous note was because he knew that Cen Wenben would personally witness his response.

now.

Cen Wenben once again sent a note...

Are we going to arrange for the prince to go to Suzhou?

Ha ha.

very good!

If you don’t want to be my knife, I’ll change it!

Get a knife that scares you!

As for the troublesome matter that Cen Wenben mentioned, it was not troublesome in Su Chen's opinion.

But it's an opportunity.

"Let's go back to the Prince's Residence first."

……

Dusk.

Li Chengqian appeared in the Prince's Residence.

He was not too surprised by Su Chen's return. Instead, he seemed to have expected it. He suppressed his excitement and said, "Have you heard about the Suzhou River bursting its banks?"

Su Chen nodded, "I heard that His Majesty intends to send you to Suzhou to provide disaster relief."

Li Chengqian: "???"

"Where did you get the news?"

After Li Chengqian left the imperial study, he went to the prince's residence immediately.

But Su Chen knew it in advance.

Is this reasonable?

"You agree?"

"of course."

Li Chengqian nodded, "This is my chance!"

Su Chen seemed to be thinking: "First, Dang Renhong returned triumphantly, and then the prince provided disaster relief on the spot?"

If you think about it carefully, it is indeed worth seeing.

Once Li Chengqian successfully provides disaster relief, will Li Shimin's prestige be enhanced again?

"So, the credit for this time should all be attributed to us, not to Your Majesty, right?"

"Of course!"

Li Chengqian nodded heavily, "Come with me to Suzhou!"
