Zhao Sheng gave the method of making anthracite to Zhao Guangyi and ordered him to submit it to the court so that he could also be rewarded. However, he did not get a promotion, and he couldn't help feeling depressed.

On this day, the patriarch of Zhaojiazhuang came with a new member of the clan. It was said that this person was very likely to become the new patriarch of the Zhao family in Zhao County.

"Let me introduce to you all, this is Zhao Changsheng, the next patriarch of the Zhao family. I've brought him here today to introduce him to the family to avoid any misunderstandings in the future."

The old patriarch did not reveal Zhao Sheng's identity as a prince, but he also warned Zhao Changsheng that this person should not be touched, but could be protected when necessary, so that it would be beneficial to their Handan Zhao family.

After all, Zhao Changsheng was young, not even fifty years old. Looking at the country boy Zhao Sheng who was only twenty years old, he felt somewhat dissatisfied.

Before the tea was even served on the table, Zhao Guangyi, filled with rage, rushed through the second door and shouted, "My dear nephew, is he home?"

"What happened to the County Magistrate? Why are you so angry?"

Zhao Sheng noticed that the county magistrate had a strange expression on his face, so he stepped forward and asked, while signaling with his eyes that there was someone else in the room.

Zhao Erniu chose an older girl from the orphans. She had no name, so Zhao Sheng named her Wanqiu. As for her surname, he thought it should be Zhao.

Wanqiu brought the county magistrate a cup of tea, bowed and left.

"You collected this?"

Zhao Guangyi thought that he had taken a concubine, so he asked.

"Do you think I can decide to do this on my own? I'm not an ordinary family. Can I just bring someone into my house?"

Zhao Sheng's words were quite profound, and everyone understood them, except Zhao Changsheng, who felt that there was something more to his words.

"What are you here for?" Zhao Sheng asked.

"My dear nephew! After presenting this anthracite to the court, I was only given a verbal commendation. I feel really unhappy!"

Listening to Zhao Guangyi's words, Zhao Sheng smiled and said, "It's good enough to give you a reward. So many people are thinking about this contribution. It will cost the court a lot of lives. Do you still want to participate?"

When Zhao Guangyi heard this, he instantly understood that this kind of thing was a touchstone, and no one could bear the consequences of the final outcome.

"Well, being an official is just so-so. Today, the new head of the Zhao family has arrived. Why don't we do some business and make some money? Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Zhao Sheng's proposal made Zhao Guangyi and the old patriarch very happy. Zhao Changsheng felt that he was not taken into consideration and felt a little unhappy.

“I don’t know what good business the little brother can have!”

Zhao Changsheng blurted out, revealing his dissatisfaction.

"Are you asking me?..." Zhao Sheng asked back, then looked at the old patriarch.

Who gave you the courage to call the current prince "little brother"?

The old patriarch was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. He picked up his cane and was about to hit Zhao Changsheng.

Zhao Sheng didn't want to reveal too much, so he stopped the clan leader and said, "Business is a shared endeavor. It's fine if you, the Zhao family, don't participate, but you also have to think carefully about the next clan leader."

This sentence shocked Zhao Changsheng. He didn't understand why such a young man would say such words to the clan leader and directly interfere with his possibility of becoming the clan leader.

"Erniu, support the old patriarch. I need to discuss an important matter with the county magistrate!"

Just as he finished speaking, Zhao Sheng continued, "This isn't the clan leader's fault. As long as you're willing to participate in any good business, I welcome it. It's just that this business is a bit big, so you have to keep it a secret. If the capital knows about it, I won't be able to do it, and it will be difficult for you too!"

Oh my god! Such a big deal! The clan leader gave Zhao Changsheng a vicious look, and with the support of Zhao Erniu, he walked out of the Zhenzhong Courtyard!

"Nephew, what big deal?" Zhao Guangyi couldn't wait to see people leaving.

"This business is huge, so big that it can serve the six surrounding countries!"

"What? So big?"

"You don't believe it?..." This was the third time Zhao Sheng asked Zhao Guangyi about the topic of disbelief.

How could he not believe it? Every time he had a little doubt in his heart, he would do something big! But he didn't know what big thing Zhao Sheng would do this time.

"To put it bluntly, your position is too low to protect this overwhelming wealth. It can be said that once this business is established, it will be as rich as a country!"

Damn it! Zhao Guangyi was almost frightened to fall off his chair by Zhao Sheng’s words.

"Really, is there really such a big business?..."

This was the question that Zhao Guangyi asked after taking more than ten breaths with difficulty.

…………

After Zhao Changsheng brought the old patriarch back, the family held a meeting to discuss whether Zhao Changsheng was qualified to be the next head of the family.

Everyone also found it strange that Zhao Changsheng, who had always been cautious, behaved so contemptuously in front of Zhao Sheng.

"Everyone in the clan, I don't know why I saw that kid today..."

"What? You dare to say that Zhao Sheng is that kid?" Before Zhao Changsheng could finish his words, the old patriarch stood up and cursed.

In the past, the clan leader had warned everyone to be careful with Zhao Sheng and Zhao Zhen and not to offend them. But today, I don’t know if it’s because Zhao Changsheng is going to be the head of the family, and I feel a little uneasy.

"Brother, why do I feel like something is wrong with you today?" The speaker was Zhao Changsheng's fourth brother, Zhao Changjing.

Although this person is not as experienced as Zhao Changsheng, things like today rarely happen.

"It's strange, but when I met him today, I felt a little uneasy and couldn't help but talk nonsense."

Seeing Zhao Changsheng say this, the old patriarch sighed and said, "You are right to feel this way. The more you encounter such a situation, the more cautious you should be. I don't know whether I should tell you the truth."

Everyone actually wanted to know about this, but the clan leader just wouldn't say it. However, since Zhao Changsheng had this incident today, the clan leader had to express his thoughts.

After all, Zhao Changsheng is the eldest son of his family.

After everyone dispersed that night, Zhao Changsheng still knew Zhao Sheng's royal identity, but he was not afraid. Instead, he felt that the big business Zhao Sheng talked about was true.

Three days later, Zhao Changsheng arrived at the Zhenzhong Courtyard with a car full of gifts.

After hearing the report, Zhao Sheng knew that he must have understood his identity, so he did not hesitate and readily asked Zhao Zhen to come out to meet Zhao Changsheng.

"The princess is very pleased with your gift. I think you came here to learn about the big deal I'm talking about!"

It was Zhao Sheng's habit to speak directly to the point, but this made Zhao Changsheng feel a little embarrassed.

"Actually, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. I said today that I want to help the Zhao family grow stronger, so I will make the Zhao family very rich."

He still spoke bluntly, but Zhao Sheng added, "Actually, there's a philosophy that needs to change in this matter. I just wonder if Handan has any other ideas?"

After several openings, Zhao Changsheng could no longer remain passive, so he stood up and said, "The Zhao family of Zhao County will fully support us."

Zhao Sheng smiled upon seeing this and said, "Actually, as you know, for thousands of years, the Handan clan has always struggled to become powerful, mainly due to the land issue. However, this land is also a golden signboard, but it's a pity that you don't know how to utilize it."

The land issue is what determines whether the population can survive. Over the years, a large number of people in Zhao County have gone out to explore the country, just to try their best for food.

When Zhao Changsheng thought of this, his heart was in turmoil. He had never heard that this was a land of gold, and no one knew how to use it for so many years.

How can a place where dragons rise be mediocre? The mistake is that future generations are unaware of it!
