Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 293 One dares to teach and one dares to learn

"As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. I think this thing may be successful. The only thing you need is some patience!" After hearing about Fatty Zhao's bumpy love history, Song Yuan was the first to comfort him.

"Are you telling the truth?" Fatty Zhao's eyes widened.

"That's for sure!" Song Yuan nodded and began to analyze.

"Think about it carefully. If he really doesn't have any feelings for you, with that girl's skills, let alone beating you up, she might even cripple you. It's just a simple matter!"

"He's just giving you a lesson now, and you're not missing any limbs. What does this prove?"

"This proves that he has you in his heart! Otherwise, how could he be so kind?"

"Hearing you put it that way, why do I feel it makes so much sense?"

Faced with such nonsense, the fat man acted extremely confident, with an excited expression on his face as he spoke.

In fact, when it comes to women, Fatty has never lacked any since he came to the imperial city until now.

But according to the fat man, those women are all vulgar, how could they catch the eyes of the fat man?

It just so happened that he met Bai Ling. The more she disliked the fat guy, the more the fat guy stuck to her.

It's exactly what I said.

Those who are favored are always fearless!

What you can’t get is the best!

Originally, the fat man just felt a little headache and secretly hated himself in his heart. Why didn’t he learn from Song Yuan that night?

Why would there be so much trouble if you just make it a done deal?

But now, after hearing Song Yuan's analysis, I felt hope rekindled in my heart!

So just because he hits me doesn’t mean he doesn’t love me!

He was so gentle, it was true, he had me in his heart!

"If you ask me, you're just too shameless now. You lose face when chasing women. Sometimes you should learn from me. You must be shameless when you need to be shameless, otherwise the cooked duck will fly away!"

Song Yuan was quite proud of this and passed on a lot of his own experience to the fat man.

The fat man nodded quickly and regarded it as a classic. The two chatted for a while and then got down to business.

Before, in addition to entrusting Fatty to sell alcohol, Song Yuan also had another big thing to do, which was to purchase saltpeter powder.

Now that the matter has been implemented for a while, according to the fat man, this thing is also a scarce thing. Although not much has been collected, there are still three to five hundred kilograms.

The fat man didn't know what Song Yuan was used for and they were temporarily piled up in the warehouse.

Song Yuan's face lit up with joy when he learned of such a quantity. He secretly calculated in his heart how much gunpowder he could make by mixing so much saltpeter with sulfur and charcoal.

This thing is a powerful weapon. Even if it is made into a homemade cannon that you made as a child, it can still cause panic on the battlefield.

Moreover, the effect of gunpowder is far more than that. If it is used properly, it may have a huge impact.

Thinking of the last sentence, Song Yuan couldn't help but reveal a smug smile on his face.

Fatty Zhao, who was standing by, noticed this expression and immediately asked, "Your Highness, what new tricks have you come up with?"

"Look at what you said, am I that person?" Song Yuan glanced at the fat man unhappily, then patted his chest and boasted.

"I'm a gentleman, and I only care about business!"

"Now Sunan has become the treasure in our hands. Next, after the Sunan issue is resolved, you will go to Zhenbeiguan as soon as possible and try to have a good chat with your father!"

"With the relationship between you two, plus the contributions you've made on this frontier, we can try to push the blame for Zhao Gong's crime onto Zhenbeiguanzhong!"

Song Yuan’s next target was Zhenbei Pass. Because this matter involved too many people, he had not informed anyone before.

Now it is also because of the relationship between Fatty and the other party that the truth is told.

Fortunately, Fatty Zhao was only afraid of his own grandfather at home, and was not afraid of his father. He patted his chest and promised immediately.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I've already figured out your idea. I've already contacted a number of merchants. They all hold a certain status in the border areas!"

"When the time comes, I'll go to Zhenbeiguan and meet with the old man. I'll leave the rest of the matters to them!"

"This way, we can save some shipping costs, which is a lot of money!"

The fat man's money-grubbing side showed up again at the end: "Otherwise, if the transportation costs alone are enough, it will probably take up 30% of the sales. It's better to just save trouble and sell the finished products to them. Just like His Highness said before, everyone makes money, and business is not bad!"

"You are indeed a good businessman. As I said before, sooner or later, you will become the richest man in the world!"

When Song Yuan heard the fat man's arrangement, he immediately nodded and praised him.

When the fat man heard this, he chuckled and scratched the back of his head with a bit of embarrassment.

"I'm able to achieve this today entirely thanks to your Highness's cultivation. If you ask me, I'd rather be second to none. Number one will always be the best in the world. I truly dare not forget this!"

Although the fat man usually behaves quite casually with Song Yuan, he is very clear about some bottom lines.

Especially regarding Song Yuan's kindness to him, he would never forget it. Otherwise, if he were that ungrateful villain, how could he have come to this point today?

The two of them looked at each other and smiled frivolously.

Such a sound was heard from far away, and the many women behind him naturally heard the noise.

Jinlian was frowning slightly when she heard her junior sister beside her spitting softly: "Bah, this fat guy has never had any good intentions. I see he's with His Highness again. I wonder what kind of deceitful things he's planning!"

Noticing Bai Ling's strangeness, Jin Lian couldn't help but smile faintly and quickly asked, "You said that about him, are you particularly concerned about that fat guy?"

"By the way, how are things between you two lately?"

"What are you thinking about, Senior Sister? What relationship do I have with him?" Faced with Jinlian's teasing, Bai Ling responded angrily at the first moment.

"That fat guy keeps wandering around in front of me every day for no reason. If it were me, I'd really want to give him a good beating and slaughter him like a pig!"

On the surface, Bai Ling showed great resistance, but when Jinlian noticed this scene, she felt relieved and a knowing smile appeared on her face.

How similar is Bai Ling's current behavior to when she faced Song Yuan before?

To put it bluntly, they are a pair of bickering lovers.

The only difference between the two was an opportunity.

Once the opportunity comes, we will definitely be together.

Just like myself now, am I not still hopelessly in love with that brat?
