After breaking off relations, the prince's family regretted it for the rest of their lives.

The King of Huainan was overjoyed and laughed loudly towards the sky.

His grip was so strong that he almost couldn't breathe as he hugged Chen Changan so tightly!

My son?

Who the hell is your son?

Chen Zhan was full of excitement, and Chen Changan forcibly separated Chen Zhan.

"King Huainan, please respect yourself!"

"You are a dignified prince, and I am a fourth-rank official. We are just colleagues. When did I become your son?"

"From the moment you signed the separation agreement, you are no longer a member of the family!"

Chen Zhan's smile froze on his face. Chen Changan didn't even give him a chance to speak and turned away.

Looking at Chen Changan's leaving back, all the civil servants laughed out loud.

"My Lord, you are good at managing the troops, but you can't manage your own son!"

"If a son is not taught well, it is the fault of his father. You should take care of the household affairs."

"I am dying of laughter. My son actually doesn't recognize his father? Haha!"

The King of Huainan's face turned red as he heard the laughter from all around.

Rebellious son, rebellious son!

I have already humbled myself and begged you, how can you not acknowledge me as your father?

I'm furious!

Chen Fusheng also had complicated feelings!

Chen Changan has done quite well, and he is not the biological son of the King of Huainan...

He was afraid that the King of Huainan would get angry and kill him!

……

Chen Changan left the Imperial Garden and returned to the inn to meet Zhou Qiankun.

When Zhou Qiankun saw the token that read "I am here in person", his legs trembled and he could not even stand up.

"Big, big, big, big..."

Chen Changan rolled his eyes at him and said, "You'd better finish what you're saying, or people might think you're robbing someone."

Zhou Qiankun swallowed hard and said tremblingly, "Brother, am I dreaming?"

"Is this really a reward from the Emperor?"

"You...really want to give out 50% of your shares and subsidize the national treasury for nothing?"

Chen Changan nodded: "What else?"

"But...what do we earn then?"

"Of course there is a way!"

Chen Changan took a deep breath and said, "Now wait for the news to spread, and shopkeepers from all sides will flock to it!"

"I'll invest a portion of the funds, and the bulk of the money will go into our pockets!"

"Tell the champion to come over quickly, and we will open a bank to amass a great deal of wealth!"

"It will only take three months. When the emperor sees the return money, I can go to the border and open up cross-border trade with Qi!"

"When the time comes, when the time comes..."

Chen Changan held back and said nothing.

At that time, he would really leave the State of Chu and go to the State of Qi at any time!

Just get the hell out of this terrible thing!

……

Chen Changan’s prediction was correct.

When the imperial edict was distributed to all states and prefectures, commending Chen Changan for taking out 50% of the profits to fill the national treasury, all the merchants were excited!

In just seven days, Chen Changan's inn was crowded with people, all of them were shopkeepers from all walks of life!

Just think about it!

All the post stations in the country are under the management of Chen Changan. The emperor stands behind Chen Changan. As long as they have contact with Chen Changan, wouldn't they be able to get close to the emperor?

...you can get rid of your status as a pariah!

I won’t say it’s 100%, but from now on no one will call them untouchables!

So cool!

Stimulated by this mentality, the stock price has been growing rapidly!

Seven million!

Eight million!

Ten million!

The shares finally rose to a price that satisfied Chen Changan.

But, new problems arise!

...No one can buy out the public transportation system in its entirety!

Excluding the share purchased by Suzhou Chamber of Commerce, the remaining amount is 90 million silver!

Tens of millions of silver!

In the entire Chu State, which merchant has such strength?

……

"Zhuangyuan, if I were to meet the emperor, I would be so scared that I wouldn't even be able to speak!"

"You argued with the ministers, shouted the slogan of ten thousand years of power, and refused the emperor to accept you as a prince without being humble or arrogant!"

"Nowadays, the people all take you as a role model!"

Hu Deyong, the head of Suzhou Chamber of Commerce, rushed to Baidi and met Chen Changan.

Chen Changan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "President Hu, please stop making fun of me. What's the point of saying nice things?"

"I boasted in front of the emperor, but the bus... well, no one is willing to buy it."

Chen Changan was troubled by this problem.

It has been seven or eight days, and when the merchants heard the price of 90 million, they all backed off.

Hu Deyong laughed: "What are you afraid of? I came here specifically for this matter!"

"The Suzhou Chamber of Commerce, together with several other chambers of commerce, has prepared silver and is ready to invest at any time."

"Also, there is a high-ranking official who is also interested in public transportation."

Chen Changan immediately perked up: "Really?"

"You are a fourth-rank official today. How dare I lie to you?"

Hu Deyong stroked his three-foot beard, nodded and said, "We can't afford to offend that noble man. We have agreed to meet you at Tianyuan Teahouse for dinner tonight."

"As long as you guys have a good conversation, let alone 90 million, even if it's more, we can afford it!"

Chen Changan nodded, this person must have a royal background!

Otherwise, no one can come up with so much money at one time.

Who is it?

In the evening, Chen Changan followed Hu Deyong to Tianyuan Teahouse.

As soon as he opened the door of the private room and saw a man and a woman sitting inside, Chen Changan shook his head.

"Hu Huishou, are they the dignitaries you mentioned?"

Hu Deyong panicked and said hastily, "Top Scholar, don't be rude to the King of Huainan."

"The King of Huainan is stationed in Jiangdu. He is from the same hometown as you. If he is willing to support you, your public transportation business will surely flourish."

"That person is the famous shopkeeper of the Nishangfang in Jiangdu, Chen Hongluo. She is the eldest princess of the King of Huainan. With their help, why should we worry about money?"

Chen Changan clenched his fists.

When he first met Chen Shuting at the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce, he did not reveal his identity.

Although Chen Zhan became a laughing stock in the court, the news did not spread among the people, so Hu Deyong did not know their relationship.

Therefore, such a misunderstanding occurred.

After not seeing each other for one night, Chen Zhan had many white hairs on his temples and looked listless.

However, Chen Zhan still spoke with full confidence: "Hanzi, sit down! I asked you to come here today to make things clear."

Chen Hongluo stood up and looked at Chen Changan worriedly.

"Your humble servant pays his respects to the King of Huainan." Chen Changan bowed to the King of Huainan as an equal.

"I have nothing to say to you, why are you looking for me again?"

Hu Deyong was trembling all over.

Although you, Chen Changan, are the top scholar, you are only of the fourth rank. He is a prince, which is above the first rank.

Do you want to die by speaking to the King of Huainan like this?

"Mr. Zhuangyuan, please be respectful when speaking!"

"The King of Huainan is very powerful. Even if you are favored by the Emperor, you still cannot afford to offend him. Do you understand?"

Chen Changan shook his head: "What's wrong with me? Seeing them here, shouldn't I ask?"

"You should ask, but the tone of your voice."

Hu Deyong whispered, "If you want to get financing, you have to ask the government to pay for it. If it's not the King of Huainan, then it has to be someone else."

"It will be even harder to deal with other people who are not from the same hometown as you, do you understand?"

Chen Changan put his hands behind his back and just sneered.

Hu Deyong was unable to persuade him, so he smiled and said to the King of Huainan: "Your Majesty, I, the lowly one, will apologize to you."

"The champion originally had a good temper, but maybe because he was just awarded the title, he seems so unruly."

"He was a pariah since childhood, studied at Qingfeng Academy, started public transportation, and raised 500,000 yuan... He is really outstanding, very outstanding!"

"I guarantee with my life that you will be satisfied with this financing!"

Chen Zhan's lips moved and he finally sighed.

In his opinion, this fool only knew how to make trouble and cause trouble for himself.

But in the eyes of others, he is excellent.

Is it ironic?

Chen Hongluo said tremblingly: "Zhuangyuanlang, we don't have any other intentions..."

Chen Changan frowned: "Asshole!"

"When the officials are talking, how can a powerless servant interrupt?"

"Get out of here, now, right now!"
