Traveling through time and space and becoming a deposed prince, he just wants to survive!

Zhao Heng didn't need to take the water route to Chuzhou, as traveling on land would be faster. However, the bumpy road was really uncomfortable, so he decided to take a boat to Chuzhou. Although it was a bit of a detour, it would be more comfortable.

"Your Highness, all large grain transport ships have been banned recently. It seems that some action is underway."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Heng immediately recalled the conversation in the palace today. It seemed that the Shangjing branch would also send people over, and there would definitely be a big battle on the water.

"Go and find out who is in charge of the hall in Shangjing. This prince wants to see him."

When Zhao Heng thought of this, he instantly came up with a plan, which would allow him to win over the Cao Gang of Chuzhou and make them his loyal followers.

After receiving the order from the Chu King's guards, Liu Yihui was still a little confused and walked towards the Chu King's Palace with four followers.

When they arrived at the Prince of Chu's palace, his four followers were stopped and only Liu Yihui was allowed to enter.

Whether it is a blessing or a curse, this time must be overcome. Liu Yihui is able to sit in the position of the helmsman here not because he was scared.

So he followed the guards alone to a pavilion in the mansion's garden.

Soon, a handsome young man came over. After being introduced by a guard, Liu Yihui knelt and bowed, saying, "I am Liu Yihui, the humble servant, and I pay my respects to Your Highness."

Zhao Heng personally helped Liu Yihui up and said, "I'll ask Captain Liu to come over. I have two things to ask you. Please tell me which one you like the most."

Hearing Zhao Heng's calm voice, Liu Yihui muttered to himself, could it be that this prince knows that we are planning to attack the Salt Gang, and is here to stop us?

Although he thought so in his heart, he said: "I am willing to listen to your guidance, Your Highness."

"Well, please sit down first. I have a long talk." Zhao Heng gestured for Liu Yihui to sit down, then waved the folding fan in his hand and continued:

"I'm planning to go to Chuzhou in the next few days. It would be more comfortable to go by water, but I heard it's not safe on the water. I wonder if Captain Liu can help me."

Liu Yihui heard that they were here to attack the Salt Gang, but at this moment he could only listen to "Please tell me clearly, Your Highness."

"First, you two should reconcile. I will take my own route, he will transport his goods, and we will not invade each other."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yihui felt that this was impossible. Moreover, the fleet going to attack the Salt Gang on the water was not just from his branch, but from several branches in the north. How could he, a single gang, order them to stop?

Unexpectedly, Zhao Heng continued, "The second is that you rent the ship to me, but don't fly my royal flag on it. The rest of you follow me. If we are attacked by others, you can act as my rescuer."

After hearing the last sentence, Liu Yihui instantly understood that the King of Chu was trying to take sides!

"What happens on the river will be resolved on the river. Afterwards, you will all go to Chuzhou with me. This time, you will go ahead. If you encounter any obstacles, you can just follow them."

How could there be a sequel? Liu Yihui had never experienced such a large-scale event and was momentarily stunned.

This kind of thing is indeed not something he, the leader of a branch, can decide, but the King of Chu has given them such a good opportunity, they must not miss it!

So, that day Liu Yihui sent someone to the headquarters to ask for instructions on how to operate it.

The most common buildings in Luancheng are storage warehouses. Of course, there are also some warehouses in Dingzhou County, and the purpose of each warehouse is different.

Luancheng immediately started purchasing soybeans. In order to prevent the previous mixed packaging, red beans and mung beans were also purchased in appropriate quantities, but only as auxiliary materials, and no deliveries from outsiders were accepted.

Nanzhao Village was extremely active in this regard, sending some people in the village who had connections outside to purchase large quantities of goods, and then reselling them to Luancheng.

Ever since Cui Yueming of the Cui family contacted Jia Siren, he also shipped goods to Luancheng under the name of purchasing soybeans. By the way, he wanted to chat with some acquaintances and squeeze some people in.

As a result, after being told that Zhao County also needed soybeans and the price was the same, and there was no need to go far away, he had to change his strategy.

Shigang Village now purchases soybeans, mainly for making fermented tofu. Tofu is basically only bought and eaten by people in the village, and the price is cheap.

Now the people of Zhaojia Village in Zhao County have basically monopolized the business of tofu, dried tofu and bean sprouts.

Shigang Village has a small population, so there is no need to rush. Don’t they still have kilns for burning stones and making bricks in use?

The villagers didn't understand why Mr. Zhao asked them to sort the stones from Shigang Village for wages. Not only did they have to sort them, but some of the stones also had to be calcined. Apart from using some of the stones to make lime, they really didn't know what to do with the rest.

The "Chongzhen" compound will always be a mystery to them!

Now the soy products produced in the compound are sent out, most of them are shipped to Luancheng. The villagers are skeptical whether the cost of sending these dried tofu is enough to cover the cost.

The compound no longer produces soybean oil. The technical personnel have all gone to Luancheng. I heard that they are also in charge of allocating houses and helping people get married.

No one knew what was going on in the compound. Zhao Shicheng tried to go in and see several times but was blocked outside the compound and not allowed in. The most he could ask for a handful of bean sprouts to take home, but nothing else was possible.

"Mom, I know why you're here. Since you've already given me to Young Master Zhao, I belong to him now. We're going to move out soon, and it's not convenient for you to live there."

This time, Zhao Wangshi was forced by Zhao Shicheng to come and borrow money from his daughter. He didn't want to work, but wanted to eat well, and Zhao Zhen didn't want to spoil him.

"Zhen'er, if you really move away, your father and I won't be able to survive here." Zhao Wangshi sat on the stool, slapping her legs and crying.

"Look, the villagers aren't suffering too much right now. They're just clearing land and moving stones to designated areas. Some stones are sorted and recycled at the village kiln. They're paid a certain amount. Everyone can make a living, so why can't you?"

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Wangshi with disdain. When he abandoned her, she never cried like this. Now he gave them a place to live and arranged food in advance, but they ended up getting bad habits.

It's not that she doesn't have money. All of Zhao Sheng's money is in her hands. Although the assets have been transferred, he still has his dividends in Zhaojiazhuang, which have never decreased. He will never be able to spend all this money in his lifetime.

But she couldn't indulge Zhao Shicheng's lazy nature. If he and Zhao Sheng went to Luancheng, which was the territory of the Princess's Mansion, his father couldn't follow them!

People treat her as their own sister, I can't always drag a burden along.

Seeing that things had come to this point, it was impossible for Zhao Wangshi to ask for money, so she had to leave. Before leaving, Zhao Zhen gave her twenty pieces of dried bean curd and asked her to take them back as a dish.

In fact, there is another product in the "Chongzhen" compound that has not been brought out. There are many wine jars mixed in the big soybean paste jar. Although it is brewed with soybean dregs and some grains, someone secretly smelled it and found that the taste is no different from soybean paste.

This is probably the sauce-flavored wine invented by Mr. Zhao!

But there are two more steps to go, which Zhao Sheng has been keeping extremely secret.

One type of wine produced is drinkable wine, and the other is used as alcohol.
