Despondently, he followed his grandma and a group of Luo family women and children to the hall. Looking at the table full of delicious breakfast, Luo Zhang had no appetite at all. It wasn't that he didn't want to eat, but that he had lost his appetite because of these Luo family women and children.
After eating something in a hurry, Luo Zhang said hello, put on his official uniform and headed towards the Dockyard Department.
On the way back yesterday, Li Junxian had told him that His Majesty was very concerned about shipbuilding, so he should give him some snacks and stop wandering around causing trouble. Building ships for His Majesty properly was the right way to go.
Luo Zhang naturally did not dare to neglect. Even if the great cause of shipbuilding still has a long way to go, superficial work still needs to be done. At least let His Majesty see that you are working hard instead of just hanging around with his favor. This is something Li Shimin cannot tolerate. .
If anyone had the thickest legs in the Tang Dynasty, it would be Li Shimin. But these thighs are not so easy to hold. If one of them fails, he will be doomed!
Riding on horseback, Luo Zhang did not go to the Dockyard Department immediately. Instead, he stopped by the Datang Barbecue Shop in Dongshi. He hadn’t been there for several days and didn’t know how the business was here. Moreover, he also had to collect money. Points But it hasn’t risen for a long time.
When he arrived at the Datang Barbecue Shop, it was not open yet. Luo Zhang dismounted and knocked on the door. A young man dressed as a servant walked out. This man was known to Luo Zhang and was a subordinate of Zhao Tianhu.
Seeing Luo Zhang coming, the young man was very respectful, serving tea and pouring water. He was very busy, and of course he didn't forget to call someone to inform Zhao Tianhu to come.
Without letting Luo Zhang wait for too long, Zhao Tianhu trotted all the way to the barbecue shop. Judging from the sweat on his forehead, he pretended to be that way.
"Brother, are you here? I haven't found you in Luo Mansion these past few days. Grandma of the Luo family is also looking for you everywhere. I also helped find you in many places, but it made me anxious!" Zhao Tianhu cried with a sad face. Dao, you must know that although he is running this barbecue shop, Luo Zhang is the boss behind the scenes. Without Luo Zhang's things, the business of this barbecue shop will probably plummet. He alone cannot support the barbecue by selling mutton skewers. shop.
And without the attraction of Luo Zhang's things, others would not come to eat, let alone buy some mutton skewers.
"I went out two days ago and just came back. I didn't have time to tell grandma when I left. It was my negligence."
"How is business these days?" Luo Zhang explained, and then asked about things in the store.
"Brother, please come with me!" Zhao Tianhu did not answer, but asked Luo Zhang to go to the back house.
Behind the barbecue shop, there are several buildings, some of which are used as places for the waiters to sleep, and some of which are used as warehouses. Of course, there is also a treasury. This treasury was specially built by Luo Zhang and Zhao Tianhu.
The vault is located underground in a house, and the entrance is hidden behind a bookcase in the house, making it very hidden.
You must know that this barbecue shop looks ordinary, but the daily turnover is astonishing. If there is no such a hidden treasury, there will be no place to pile up the money.
When Luo Zhang went down the stairs to the underground, he saw camphor wood boxes placed in the underground vault.
Zhao Tianhu held up a torch and lit the oil lamps around him. He pointed at the camphor wood box in front of him and said, "Brother, there are a total of 230,000 taels of silver here. Some of them I have exchanged for gold, otherwise there would be no room for them here."
Luo Zhang casually opened a camphor wood box and saw silver cakes gleaming inside.
Seeing these Luo Zhang nodded with satisfaction and checked each one again before giving up.
"Is King Wei's share here too?" Luo Zhang asked casually. He had originally promised King Wei to occupy 30% of the shares of the barbecue shop. He could not break his promise. You must know that King Wei is the protective umbrella of this barbecue shop. What happened? , when others hear that this is the property of King Wei, they will be more or less given face and will not find trouble.
"I have ordered people to send King Wei's share to King Wei's Mansion early. These are all yours!" Zhao Tianhu replied truthfully.
"Yes, yes, little Huzi, you are getting better and better at doing things. As long as you work hard, I will not treat you badly!" Luo Zhang patted Zhao Tianhu on the shoulder with satisfaction.
He didn't expect that Zhao Tianhu would actually keep things in the store in order when he was away, and he didn't even lose the relationship with King Wei. This was already his debut. He knew which was light and which was heavy, and what was important to him. The most important thing is, what can be put aside temporarily? It seems that he won't have to worry too much about the barbecue shop in the future.
"By the way, you can make ten of those oysters and eat them, and your subordinates can also give some to you according to their merits. Your realm is too low. If you upgrade to the pulse-opening realm as soon as possible, you can live in a better place and save money. If there are any young people who come to our store, you can't go to King Wei for everything. Remember, good steel is used on the edge of the blade, or it is not used. If you want to use it, you must make good use of it. This thing of love is Use a little less and don't abuse it!" Luo Zhang pointed out.
Zhao Tianhu nodded repeatedly after hearing this. He is just a gangster. When did someone tell him this? What Luo Zhang said to him today made him enlightened. Moreover, Luo Zhang allowed him to eat ten oysters. This is simply huge. Gift.
Before that, he also thought about eating some oysters secretly, but Luo Zhang didn't say anything, and if he ate it, his realm would definitely soar. This was something he couldn't hide. Fortunately, he couldn't hold it back, and Luo Zhang asked him to Eating is a kind of affirmation of him, a kind of trust in him. The nature of eating now is fundamentally different from eating secretly before.
For a time, Zhao Tianhu had the urge to die for his confidant towards Luo Zhang, and he became more determined to follow Luo Zhang.
Luo Zhang didn't think much about it, he just felt that Zhao Tianhu's strength was too weak. If he didn't improve his strength, his help to him would be very limited in the future.
After sending Zhao Tianhu out, Luo Zhang recycled all the 200,000 taels of silver to the system. The return he got was only 2,000 taels of silver, and he still kept 30,000 taels, which he wanted to use in his new fiefdom. The points above suddenly increased to more than 270,000, which was enough to upgrade the two skills to the mastery level.
The points made him happy, but Luo Zhang felt a headache when he thought about the money needed for his two hundred acres of land. There was a shortage of money everywhere, and the system had to recycle the money, otherwise his skills would not be improved and the items would be lost. He couldn't redeem it, which made him really worried.
After walking out of the underground vault, Luo Zhang asked Zhao Tianhu not to touch the money in the ground. He still had use for it. Then he spent 10,000 points to exchange for a large amount of oysters, leeks, eggplants, cucumbers, etc. As for the other things, Luo Zhang did not keep any money. Secondly, Luo Zhang didn't want to expose too much. The more he exposed, the more attention he would attract from others, especially His Majesty. He didn't want to be controlled and tortured.
And with these things, it is enough for the barbecue shop to continue operating.
After bidding farewell to Zhao Tianhu, Luo Zhang rode his horse to the Dockyard Department in a quarter of an hour.
After getting off his horse and tying it up, Luo Zhang felt awkward looking at the door of the Dockyard Department.
Thinking about the majestic gate of the city defense department and the majestic stone lion at the door, I looked at the door of my shipyard department. Not only was it small, it was also very shabby. Even the paint was gone, revealing the true nature of the wood. Not to mention stone lions at the door, there is not even a stone dog.
Sighing, Luo Zhang comforted himself: "Take your time, take your time, everything will be fine!"
After straightening his clothes, Luo Zhang walked into the Dockyard Department. As soon as he entered, he heard heated shouting and cursing inside.
Luo Zhang looked up, good guy, are we fighting crickets again?
Didn't you tell them not to play with things to lose heart? Why don't you listen?
I didn't say it well last time, what's going on?
Walking forward slowly, Luo Zhang once again stood behind a group of old guys and watched. The old guys seemed to be fighting vigorously and did not notice Luo Zhang.
After a cricket's leg was bitten off to determine the winner, some people straightened up with curses, only to find Luo Zhang standing behind them.
But something even more strange happened to Luo Zhang. Although these old guys saw him, they looked at him as if they were seeing nothing. No one talked to him or paid attention to him. This was still a good temper. The bad-tempered one even spit on the ground when passing by him, almost causing Luo Zhang to go berserk.
Fortunately, Luo Zhang held back. He didn't want the conflict to intensify before he could figure out the situation. There must be something happening that he didn't know about, otherwise the group of old guys who had finally persuaded him before would not be able to treat him like this.
What happened in the past few days when I was away?
