Chapter 639 Liu Qian's Decision

Shen Yuan and his family were having a great time in the mountains, but Liu Qian in Tongxu County was as anxious as he had expected.

Liu Qian received the letter from the maid who brought it back from Daliushu Village. When he saw the content, he was so angry that he smashed the teacup in his hand.

In fact, he didn't know who the man from Daliushu Village was.

The person who came to see him before was wearing gray clothes and should be just an attendant servant, but he came from the capital and must be a royal relative.

Because he was wearing a royal jade pendant as a token of his love.

The current royal family includes three clan relatives in addition to King Cheng and King Xian.

It is definitely not King Cheng and King Xian.

Liu Qian first ruled out these two princes.

Those are the three clan members.

He remembered that one of them, Prince Lin, was also a good businessman and was highly valued by His Majesty.

He naturally thought it was King Lin's man.

Being able to curry favor with Prince Shanglin means currying favor with His Majesty, so Liu Qian must have obeyed them respectfully.

At the beginning, all the grain in his hands was bought by King Lin's people, and they paid a high price, which was much better than what he sold to Shen Yuan.

In order to compete for the client Shen Yuan, he had a conflict with the Zheng family. In the end, he was defeated and was very angry. He secretly cursed Shen Yuan for having no vision.

Unexpectedly, things turned out to be auspicious and he welcomed even bigger clients, who were royal relatives.

In order to curry favor with this noble man, he tore up many contracts, destroyed his own credibility, and sold all his grain to the noble man.

After that, he concentrated on cooperating with this noble man and produced a lot of goods.

But a while ago, his nobleman told him to put the business on hold, so he stopped shipping and started selling the grain in the warehouse to other people.

He was not in a hurry. After all, there was still Shen Yuan. He was just looking forward to collecting the grain from Shen Yuan's family after the autumn harvest and selling it to noble people so that he could make a fortune.

The price of these sweet potatoes and corn is not low.

Of course, all of this was done by a noble man. The grain business is not doing well now. There have been constant natural disasters in recent years, and new grains need to be promoted. Once the inventories of these grain merchants are cleared, it will be difficult for them to purchase in large quantities.

Even without the nobleman's instructions, he was able to purchase the grain, corn and sweet potatoes, from Shen Yuan, which was a good thing for him.

But what I never expected was that it has been so long since the autumn harvest and there is still no news from above, and I don’t know whether they will purchase the crops.

There was no news from above, so he didn't dare to act rashly. He just waited for now. After all, there were still some days left before the time stipulated in the contract.

Now he received news that he was asked to tear up the contract and not to trade with Shen Yuan.

What's the point!

If he doesn't make the deal, he will have to pay compensation for breach of contract!

Besides, it’s such a good thing, why can’t we trade it?

How many people want to buy sweet potatoes and corn now but can’t get them. If he could buy them, even if the noble man didn’t want them, he could sell them to others.

Liu Qian sat at the table and thought quickly.

The noble man was not someone to be trifled with, and the letter strictly prohibited him from doing business again, asking him to keep his distance from Shen Yuan in the future.

What does this mean?

They don't want food, so can't he ask for it himself?

When he was feeling annoyed, Zhao Yuanyuan suddenly ran over, twisted her waist and sat on Liu Qian's legs.

"Master, I'm so angry. That maid actually dared to hit me. Look at me... She even spoke rudely to me..."

Zhao Yuanyuan wanted to say something, but Liu Qian pushed her out and hit her with a whip without saying a word.

"You useless thing, she hit you too lightly!"

Zhao Yuanyuan is so reluctant to go to Daliushu Village at this time. She was asked to go there earlier to establish good relations with Shen Yuan's family, but she refused to go.

Go at this time and bring back the news at this time, leaving him in a difficult position here!

Liu Qian knew that it was not Zhao Yuanyuan's fault.

But there was no way out. He was now in a dilemma. He wanted to continue the cooperation and stop doing the business with the noble man, and sell the grain to other customers himself, but he was afraid that the noble man would retaliate against him.

If the nobleman had not explicitly told him not to contact Shen Yuan again, that would have been fine.

This is obviously a threat.

If he disobeyed, he would anger the nobleman, but he would definitely make a lot of money by doing this business himself.

If I follow your advice, I will have to pay the penalty myself. Business is not doing well recently, and it would cost me so much money. I am about to vomit blood just thinking about it.

The key point is that he has made such a great sacrifice, and he doesn’t know whether the benefactor will be able to contact him again in the future. He has not even seen the benefactor in person.

This dilemma made Liu Qian upset and he had to find someone to vent his anger on. Zhao Yuanyuan happened to be the one who was in trouble, so he would not be polite.

Zhao Yuanyuan was beaten so hard that she screamed and was almost dying. Finally, she was carried out.

Liu Qian let out a sigh of relief and felt a little calmer. He thought carefully about his current situation.

He suddenly wondered if he had been cheated.

Those people are not King Lin's subordinates at all.

He didn't know who the other party was and had never met him. Even if he was Prince Lin, he was just a clan relative after all. After all, the status of this clan relative was not as high as Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan is now the Chief Military Officer, a close confidant of His Majesty, and His Majesty's cousin-in-law. He also has the support of the Princess Protector of the Nation and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

A clan relative is nothing.

In comparison, he decided to choose Shen Yuan.

You can't offend Shen Yuan, you have to make friends with Shen Yuan.

As for the nobleman, there was no contract between them, only a verbal agreement. If he just wouldn't listen, what could they do to him?

Even if he wants to settle the score with me, he has to consider Shen Yuan's face.

Suddenly, as if things were looking bright, Liu Qian received news that Shen Yuan had already done a grain trading business in Fengning County. He was so frightened that he immediately ordered someone to take him to Daliushu Village.

Although I know Shen Yuan is not in Daliushu Village, I still have to show my attitude.

He ran more diligently, which let Shen Yuan know that he did not want to breach the contract, but he was just not in Daliushu Village these few days and was anxious to fulfill the contract.

So, in the next few days, Liu Qian went to Daliushu Village almost every day to ask whether Shen Yuan and his wife had returned home.

Shen Yuan had also been keeping track of what was happening in Daliushu Village. Seeing how diligently Liu Qian was running around, he knew that Liu Qian had decided to ignore the person behind the scenes and choose to cooperate with him.

At the same time, there was another piece of news from Daliushu Village: Yun Xian returned to Beijing.

He was well-behaved for a few days, but finally he couldn't hold it in anymore and kept crying out for his princess sister, so he asked Xiao Qi, who was beside him, to take him to find the princess sister.

Xiao Qi wrote a letter and left it in the workshop, then left with Silly King.

He didn't expect that although the letter was left for them to read when they got back, it had already fallen into Shen Yuan's hands.

"Has my eighth uncle returned to Beijing?"

Yun Yi also saw the letter. The little boy began to ponder and suddenly pulled his father's sleeve:

"Dad, is there really something wrong with my eighth uncle?"

He had suspected it a long time ago, and now seeing his father like this, he was sure of it.
