Chapter 72: eting Mi Zhu and Wang Lang
Hua Tuo: "Zhang Zhongjing? Of course, I know that the old man is the only person I respect and befriended in the dical field. Why, is My Lord also interested in inviting that old man? If so maybe I can help as that man is much better at dical theory than I do"
Lie Fan: "Haha! Master Hua Tuo can see through at first glance, Yes I like to invite Master Zhang Zhongjing to join Master Hua Tuo here in Xiapi. I hope Master Hua Tuo can help ."
Hua Tuo: "I can help My Lord, but the man has an official position in Changsa and I think he will not accept the invitation if we don't give him much benefit"
Lie Fan: "Haha! That's easy Master Hua Tuo, I'm the inspector of Xu Province, and the official position is easy for to make! I can make a new departnt just for dicine and make Master Zhang the head of that departnt."
Hua Tuo nodded his head when he heard what Lie Fan said and promised to invite Zhang Zhongjing personally to entice him with the official position and the dicine formulae alongside theories that he surely would be very interested in
Lie Fan thanked Hua Tuo for his help and promised to build the best hospital for him then they took their leave together with Hua Tuo visiting Cai Yong to continue his treatnt
Jia Xu was waiting for Lie Fan in the main hall and when he saw Lie Fan entering he began to ask will Hua Tuo stay in Xiapi
Lie Fan: "It's done, Master Jia Xu! Master Hua Tuo will stay in Xiapi and open a hospital in partnership with our administration, Please prepare the building that we have and make it very clean and wash it several tis Also bring the 10 people to et Master Hua Tuo"
Jia Xu: "That's great My Lord! Congratulations on receiving another talent at your disposal, I will send so oriole mbers to take care of the hospital and I will personally ensure the 10 people will beco Master Hua Tuo students or helpers in person"
Lie Fan: "Haha with Master Jia Xu beside I can rest easy knowing that everything will work out perfectly!"
Lie Fan is assured with Jia Xu here handling everything, seeing that he has free ti he decides to supervise the establishnt of Serenity Inn and Dragon's Fang Tavern in disguise of course
Lie Fan brings his bodyguards but before leaving he tells them to use farr hats with silk cloth attached to them to hide their faces and store their masks and helts to not attract attention as everyone already knows the characteristics of his bodyguards
In the street of Xiapi, Lie Fan is strolling with his bodyguards doing so survey on the restaurant and tavern that he can buy personally but the one doing the transaction is his bodyguards
When reaching the town square, it was busy full of people either buying things from the stall or sightseeing with their family
In the town square, he sees a restaurant that is pretty big with expensive designs but has no custors which imdiately attracts his attention so he decides that maybe this will beco the Xiapi branch of Serenity Inn
Entering the restaurant he saw Mi Zhu the future Master of the Mi Clan alongside Wang Lang and Mi Yu sitting there eating together
Lie Fan: "Brother Mi Yu! Brother Wang Yan! And Young Master Mi what a coincidence to et you here, I hope I'm not interrupting your gathering here"
Mi Yu: "Ahh Inspector Lie, please co and join us. The truth is this is not a celebration b-"
Wang Yan: "Brother Yu let say it myself to Inspector Lie, the truth is today is a banquet for my teacher."
Lie Fan: "Oh I'm sorry to hear that Brother Wang, I'm sure your teacher is happy now in heavens and proud to have a student like you"
Wang Yan: "Haha thank you Inspector Lie and I have changed my na now to Wang Lang. Please co and join us I'm sure my Master will be ecstatic knowing that a person with you're stature joined his mourning banquet."
Lie Fan agrees and takes a seat beside Mi Yu, he begins to eat and converse with them especially Mi Zhu as this man can beco the future financial minister, and having Mi Clan one of the richest clans in the land on his side is also a great bonus
Mi Zhu: "Lord Inspector, what brings you to this humble restaurant? I thought that no one would enter as there's no custor in the restaurant today"
Lie Fan: "Oh I ca in here because I was attracted by it and I thought that the owner was going to sell it so I wanted to ask if he was selling the restaurant and buy it"
Mi Zhu: "Oh? Does Lord Inspector is interested in making a business now?"
Lie Fan: "Oh no, I bought it for my friend he asked if there's a prominent location here in Xiapi for his restaurant if so he asked to buy it for him and he will repay "
Mi Zhu: "I see, then what does Lord Inspector think of this restaurant?"
Lie Fan: "The location is good in the town square so much traffic will pass through it and with the building design it has now attracted people's attention easily and only needs good food to make the custors co back!"
Mi Zhu: "I didn't expect that Lord Inspector has a business mind, I admire you."
Lie Fan: "Haha it's nothing, My mother cos from a rchant clan and she taught about business from a young age as doing politics is the sa as doing business my mother always said!"
Everyone at the table laughed hearing what Lie Fan said and Mi Zhu agreed with what Yu Yan said, Business is the very essence of political negotiating and persuading just like you're in the market
Mi Zhu: "Then if Lord Inspectors is interested then I can help you buy it for your friend at a friendly price of course."
Lie Fan: "Oh? Does Young Master Mi know the proprietor of this fine establishnt?"
Mi Yu: "Ahaha Lord Inspector of course Young Master knew, he is the owner of this building."
Lie Fan: "Aiya I forgot that the Mi Clan has many properties in Xiapi, forgive forgive ."
With Mi Zhu gives the green light for Lie Fan to buy the building, he asks Mi Zhu how much is price Mi Zhu wants which he replies 100,000 tael and no negotiation needed as this is cheaper than the market prices
Lie Fan doesn't care about how much is it as collecting money is very easy with the help of the system through quests and achievents but he pretends he needs to ask his friend which Mi Zhu agrees
Lie Fan: "Brother Wang, now what will you do as your teacher have rested in peace now?"
Wang Lang: "I don't know, I'm thinking of going back to Luoyang and resuming my post but I will be too far to visit his tombs."
Lie Fan: "Then why don't Brother Wang join my administration? With Brother Wang's talent a position in my administration is easy to get and safer than in Luoyang as the Court is now in chaos thanks to the battle between General He Jin's faction and the eunuch faction."
Mi Yu: "Wang Lang I agree with what Lord Inspector said, it's safer to work under Lord Inspector in Xiapi than in Luoyang. You have brought your family here so why don't you stay here and resign from your post in Luoyang."
Wang Lang stayed silent, he was tempted as Lie Fan already hinted this several tis before to him when they t and with Jia Xu also bringing him to help him do so administrative work but he was still reluctant to lose the position he worked so hard for
On the other hand, what Lie Fan said is true as the Luoyang political scene is now in chaos and he doesn't want his family to be implicated, thinking about it with a heavy heart he finally agrees to Lie Fan's invitation
Lie Fan: "Haha! Trust , Brother Wang has made the right choice! I will wait for Brother Wang to send in your resignation and assign you as a Supervisor in the Personnel Departnt!"
Wang Lang: "Thank You My Lord for your generosity"
Mi Zhu: "Haha know we have to drink again to celebrate Brother Wang's new position under Lord Inspector!"
Together they enjoyed more wine to commorate Wang Lang's new post under Lie Fan, After filling their stomach and feeling a bit tipsy they ended the small banquet
Before leaving Wang Lang promised to contact Lie Fan when he resigned from his post in the Imperial Court as he needed to go back to Luoyang to do so
Mi Yu helps Wang Lang to go back to his mansion, while Lie Fan is walking with Mi Zhu in the town square to look for so fresh air
Lie Fan: "Young Master Mi, you're young and in full spirit have you ever thought of joining the governnt and becoming an official?"
Mi Zhu: "I have that thought Lord Inspector but I don't want to neglect my family business now with my father already old age."
Lie Fan: "Fufu, that's not a problem for Young Master Mi and the Mi Clan as I'm sure that Master Mi will be very happy and proud that his son is now an official which can help him boost Mi Clan's network."
Mi Zhu: "Haha! Are Lord Inspector inviting to work under you sa as Brother Wang before?"
Lie Fan: "Of Course! I have heard the talent that Young Master Mi had since young and Master Mi's most talented son since Little already helped Master Mi in doing so accounting."
Mi Zhu: "Looks like Lord Inspector has already investigated deeply even knowing about helping my father do so accounting since childhood as no one knew about this except my closest family mbers, Does Lord Inspector that confidence in my talent?"
