All Hail Cousin Brother

This was the first time she heard Song Mingzhao truly and clearly express his feelings for Yu Youyao.

I love her!

These four words convey a sense of certainty.

Giving it a try is like a moth flying into a flame.

Song Mingzhao lowered his head: "Earlier, the Japanese pirates invaded the southeastern coastal area in large numbers, and Dehua County suffered a disaster. Originally, the post of county magistrate was to be replaced early in the morning, but because the scientific research was delayed again and again, it has been delayed until now. The porcelain produced in Dehua County, It is an indispensable item for maritime trade and has been sold at home and abroad. The major porcelain shops in Dehua County have close ties with the Xie Mansion."

Mrs. Song sighed softly. Song Mingzhao had planned everything clearly, which showed how determined he was: "If you want to strive for a good relationship with the Xie Mansion, contact Yu Youyao through the Xie Mansion. With the approval of the elders, it will be logical for you to discuss marriage in the future."

Song Mingzhao did not deny that the important matter of marriage was the order of his parents. According to the matchmaker, since the defense between men and women cannot be overcome, they should start from the elders.

Mrs. Song sighed: "I didn't know that there would be such an infatuated person like you in the Marquis' Mansion in our town. That's all, that's all. It's us relatives who owe you a debt. I'll go talk to your father." .”

Song Mingzhao was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, grandma."

In a blink of an eye, it’s Laba.

The medicines for disaster relief have been prepared and sent to the merchant ship together with the materials for the evacuation of the Xie Mansion.

After that, Xie Mansion clearly felt that the atmosphere in Quanzhou had become tense, and various ports began to increase troops and enforce martial law, and conduct inspections on merchant ships and merchants coming and going.

The intensity of the investigation was only a little stricter than usual, and it did not arouse too much dissatisfaction and suspicion.

But Yu Youyao guessed that this kind of investigation will gradually strengthen.

This further confirmed that Jiazhou Mansion had taken refuge with Prince Liang and had been secretly paying attention to Xie Mansion's movements.

It is very likely that some of the people of King Liang have entered Quanzhou without anyone noticing, and will take control of the entire Quanzhou city after everyone enters the city in batches.

In this regard, the Xie Mansion was very glad to have listened to Yu Youyao's suggestion and gave up the evacuation to the Huaijiang area. It accelerated the evacuation and transferred most of its manpower and industry to the north in advance. A small amount of industry remained, mostly antiques, Jade articles, calligraphy and paintings, etc., because they were not in large quantities, were carried on merchant ships and did not attract attention.

Otherwise, the people from Xie Mansion may have been noticed by Jiazhou Mansion before they left Quanzhou.

After that, Yu Youyao made an appointment with Lin Yan and his two directors, and went to Guiyuan Temple together to discuss cooperation matters related to the exchange of authentic medicinal materials.

All three parties showed sincerity. The "Xixin" escort agency had made a name for itself in both the black and white circles. Yu Youyao had sufficient financial resources and was happy to share the profits. There were almost no setbacks in the cooperation.

Yu Youyao said: "The first transaction will be arranged after the Lantern Festival. You two will try to collect as much medicinal materials as you can. I will arrange for the steward to come and contact you."

Neither Lin Yan's family had any objections.

Mr. Lin was a little tempted: "The medicinal materials required by the county master are very large. I want to go back to Zhejiang to make some preparations. Your greetings to Mr. Ye, Mr. Lin will definitely deliver them on my behalf."

Yu Youyao smiled: "That's very good."

Mr. Lin is certain.

Because of the reminder from the head of Shaoyi County, he had been secretly observing the movements in Quanzhou, and was vaguely aware of the recent changes in Quanzhou, which strengthened his intention to return to Zhejiang.

But how to leave Quanzhou still requires careful planning.

After the business was over, Yu Youyao had a vegetarian meal at Guiyuan Temple. On the way back home, he passed by Zhiyu Tower. Yu Youyao got off the carriage and planned to see how the business was going.

The layout of Zhiyulou has been changed. Glaze has been made into a rectangular transparent counter, where samples of various products are displayed, and the functions and effects of the products are roughly introduced next to it.

Some of the more special products will indicate their basic compatibility, and spices and herbs that are prone to allergies will also be indicated in the introduction, which makes people dazzled and reluctant to leave.

Zhiyulou now has more than 100 kinds of products, nearly half more than before. Many fragrant medicines have been added, each with its own function, and a doctor has been specially invited to sit in the hall.

After customers enter the store, they can choose the products they are interested in based on their own needs and preferences, taking the product introduction as a consideration. The selection is more free, the range is wide, and there are many types, which can also achieve the effect of stimulating consumption.

There are a total of twelve booths on the first and second floors, with exquisite partition screens to separate small rooms, where tables, chairs, tea, and snacks are placed to entertain guests.

For makeup products, if you are not sure about the makeup effect, you can go to the booth to try it out.

If you don’t know the function of aromatic medicines, you can also ask the doctor sitting in the hall for advice.

The operation is more humane and more comprehensive.

It was already afternoon, and there were many people in the shop. Shopkeeper Ren was too busy to touch the floor. Seeing Yu Youyao coming, he quickly took Yu Youyao to the wing on the second floor.

Before Yu Youyao could ask, shopkeeper Ren had already said eloquently: "It's only been less than a month, and many products are already in short supply. Starting next month, Xiangfang will increase production..."

Yu Youyao already knew the situation in Zhiyu Tower.

Shopkeeper Ren and the Xie Mansion have terminated the contract and she is free. After a while, she will leave Quanzhou. She has no intention of transferring the Zhiyu Building, so she will leave it to Shopkeeper Ren to run it on her behalf.

Shopkeeper Ren is very capable. He has been running Zhiyu Building for so many years without making any mistakes, and his loyalty is unquestionable.

The core compatibility of fragrant medicine is always in her hands and can be sent to Quanzhou via merchant ships.

The Xie Mansion has evacuated Quanzhou, and the Jiazhou Mansion will no longer do unnecessary things to embarrass those people who were once related to the Xie Mansion. Everyone is gone, and there is no point in trying.

After Yu Youyao arrived in the north, the Jiazhou Mansion could guess that the backer behind the Xie Mansion was King Wu Mu Dingbei, and they would not fight her for a few untouchables.

Business still has to be done.

Not only to do it, Quanzhou Zhiyu Tower will also serve as a bridge for her to communicate with the national trade. In the future, the products under her name will be sold domestically and overseas through Shuihuo trade routes. Foreign spices were a hot commodity in the Zhou Dynasty. Many domestic rouges, gouache, and perfumes are also in short supply abroad.

Through this period of time, Yu Youyao finally had a clear understanding of the aromatic medicine business and what kind of treasure mountain he was sitting on with unlimited potential.

…

Just when the Xie Mansion was preparing to evacuate Quanzhou, the imperial court rushed eight hundred miles away and sent urgent documents from the Ministry of Personnel and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, impeaching the Jiazhou Prefecture Zongzi for committing murder and other more than ten crimes. Jiazhou Prefecture was ordered to submit a complaint within three days.

Jiazhou Mansion immediately fell into a state of disarray.

Suddenly he couldn't care about Xie's house.

However, just when Jiazhou Prefecture rushed the 800-mile discount to Beijing.

Another shocking news came from Beijing.

King Wu Muding of the North, who was far away in the north, together with officials who went to the north to provide disaster relief, went to the court to ask for merit for the Lord of Shaoyi County.
