After sending Wen Yan away, Cai Lun came over to report, "Master, all the Hu chairs we collected from Linyi have been sold out, for a total of 17,800 taels."

"Oh? How did you sell them all?"

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it." Ren Hao patted his forehead. He had felt like he had forgotten to deal with something, but he couldn't remember it all of a sudden.

It turned out to be the Hu chair that was taken over from Linyi.

He hasn't figured out how to sell these chairs yet.

Unexpectedly, Cai Lun had already sold it for him.

"Master, this is not just my credit, it's also the credit of Nong Mei and other girls."

"They sat down in front of the restaurant with a Hu chair and showed off their products, and then many customers came to buy wine."

"Among them, the Hu chair that Nong Mei had sat on was sold at a sky-high price. A wealthy man paid one thousand taels to buy it." Cai Lun reported to Ren Hao, and he did not take all the credit for himself.

Ren Hao was very impressed by this point and felt that Cai Lun was capable of great use.

"You have done another great service for me this time." Ren Hao nodded.

"It's thanks to the master that he teaches me well. I have learned a lot from him." Cai Lun began to flatter him in disguise and laughed.

Ren Hao also laughed, the praise was just empty talk.

The reward should be given for a good job.

He readily asked Cai Lun to take out five thousand taels of silver and divided it with Nong Mei and the others as a reward.

"Then I will take care of Nongmei and the others first. Thank you, Master." Cai Lun thanked him quickly and was about to leave when he remembered something and asked, "Oh, Master, there is one more thing I want to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Ren Hao asked puzzledly.

"The Prime Minister's son Zhao Qian wants to buy our wine coins. Should we sell them to him?" Cai Lun asked.

Before, Zhao Qian ordered his servants to come to the restaurant to buy wine coins, but he didn't even queue up and just cut in line to buy.

The waiter selling wine coins didn't know whether he should sell it or not, so he found Cai Lun.

Cai Lun was unable to make up his mind for a while, so he sent away the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion first.

"Why not make money? Don't worry about the little grudge between him and me. I'll just sell the wine coins at a higher price, twice as much."

"It's up to them to buy it or not. If they don't want to buy it, let them buy it privately." Ren Hao ordered.

"Okay, sir." Cai Lun nodded, and according to Ren Hao's instructions, he wrote five bills for one thousand taels and one bill for seven thousand taels before returning to the restaurant.

After all, it is not appropriate to carry cash, but the notes are easy to carry. When they need money, they can just come to the house to get it.

As for the seven thousand taels of government note, it was Linyi’s share.

……

Maozi Restaurant.

Although Ren Hao had previously introduced wine coins to purchase Maozi, many drinkers opposed it, but they could not resist the aroma of Maozi and eventually all the objections disappeared, resulting in a shortage of coins.

When Cai Lun arrived at the restaurant, he saw an ugly young man who looked like a reincarnated toad, who was causing trouble in the restaurant with a group of servants.

The person who came was none other than Zhao Qian.

When he heard that the servant was refused when he came to buy wine coins, he ran here angrily to ask for an explanation. However, the waiter refused to give him any explanation and asked him to wait for the housekeeper to come back.

As the son of the prime minister, Zhao Qian had never been so humiliated before. He immediately slapped the waiter twice and said, "Who are you? You asked me to wait? Do you know who I am? Call out your boss Ren Hao!!!"

"You are really blind. How dare you make Young Master Zhao wait?" The servants following Zhao Qian also started cursing.

When several patrolling imperial guards saw someone causing trouble at the restaurant, they immediately ran over and shouted, "Don't you know that this is a royal property? How dare you cause trouble here?"

"We don't care whether it is royal property or not. Anyone who dares to make our young master wait for him should be beaten. My young master is the son of the current prime minister." The servant of the Zhao Mansion said arrogantly.

One of the imperial guards slapped the servant and cursed: "Fuck you, I don't want to say it a second time, this is the royal property, not the prime minister's property."

These imperial guards were all assigned by the palace; they are not ordinary imperial guards.

"Young master, they dared to hit me. That's like slapping you in the face again. You have to stand up for me!" The beaten servant covered his face and cried to Zhao Qian.

"Don't you know who my father is? How dare you hit my servants? Are you a few stinky patrolmen tired of living?" Zhao Qian glared at these imperial guards arrogantly and asked them to kneel down and apologize to his servants.

“Zhao Qian, we didn’t take action because we saw that you are the prime minister’s son. Don’t think that we are easy to bully.” The leading imperial guard said with his eyes wide open.

"Haha, look at what you are capable of. If you don't kneel down and apologize today, I will go find my father and arrest all of you." Zhao Qian sneered and brought up his father, the prime minister.

“Humph, we only kneel to His Majesty and never to anyone else.” The leading imperial guard was not afraid and took out his token from his pocket to show his identity as a royal imperial guard.

Royal Guards?

Zhao Qian was stunned.

The leading guard then said: "According to the law, insulting the imperial guards is punishable by ten sticks, but because you are the son of the prime minister, this will be waived."

After the leading imperial guard finished speaking, he waved his hand and led the remaining imperial guards away.

"Master, are you just going to let them go like this?" The beaten servant covered his face and asked unwillingly.

"You won't let them go, and you're really going to turn against them?"

"You are such a bunch of good-for-nothings. I have really raised you in vain." Zhao Qian slapped the servant in the face. He bullied others by taking advantage of his father's name every day, but when it came to a real fight, he would definitely not be able to defeat the royal guards.

The royal guards are only loyal to the royal family. If you fight against them, it would be a fight against the royal family and it would be treason.

He could tell the difference in importance in his mind.

After the imperial guards left, the waiter who had been slapped by Zhao Qian at the door saw Cai Lun coming and immediately ran over and cried, "Butler Cai, you are finally here. They can hit me at will, you have to take care of it for me."

"You deserve to be beaten. You don't even recognize Young Master Zhao. Who else should I beat if not you?" Cai Lun glared at the waiter and signaled him to go into the building.

Then, Cai Lun looked at Zhao Qian with a flattering smile and said, "Master Zhao, this waiter is new and doesn't know you. You should be magnanimous and don't bother with him."

"Who are you?" Zhao Qian was arrogant and almost looked down on people.

"Haha, I'm Cai Lun, the steward of the Ren Mansion." Cai Lun introduced himself calmly.

Zhao Qian saw that Cai Lun was the housekeeper of the mansion and could make the decision, so he asked: "Why don't you sell me wine coins? Is it because we don't have money or something? Or is it that your master is too narrow-minded?"
