The private room on the third floor of Datang Barbecue Shop is Luo Zhang's special private room. Luo Zhang sat in it, eating barbecue and drinking Maotai. It was an extremely enjoyable experience.
Beside him, King Li Tai of Wei was eating and drinking not to be outdone. His speed was not much slower than that of Luo Zhang. His mouth was so full that even outsiders would not dare to recognize him. Is this the King of Wei? I guess people will think this is a starving ghost.
After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, Luo Zhang started to get down to business after licking his belly and tying his bag.
The two of them sat in the specially opened tea room on the other side, drinking Dahongpao, scraping the fat from their stomachs, and chatting.
"You said the Dou family has really collapsed?" Luo Zhang's news made Li Tai, who was still a little lazy after just eating, sit up straight and said in high spirits.
"Otherwise, why would I call you here? Just to eat?" Luo Zhang took a sip of Dahongpao and said with a smile.
"I will listen to you no matter what you say!" King Wei said, licking his lips.
Since starting a business partnership with Luo Zhang, he has made a lot of money. Whether it is the Tang Barbecue Shop or the Royal Furniture Shop, business is booming, with monthly dividends of hundreds of thousands taels. Money is more profitable than any business he does. Now he no longer has to worry about lack of money. Unexpectedly, his belly is getting bigger and bigger, just like being pregnant for ten months. This is all eaten out of his spare time. .
After listening to King Wei's words, Luo Zhang thought for a while and said: "This is what I think about it. You come forward to buy the Yan Lai real estate, and I will pay for it. You also know that it will not be easy for me to go to the store. The Dou family is in my hands. They hate me to the core and will definitely not sell me. It will be different if you go. With your identity and my money, it will be no problem to take Yan Lailou. As for how much it will cost, you There’s no need to worry, you don’t have to pay a tael, we’ll calculate the split after the store is settled, what do you think?”
"Refreshing, I like how you are so cheerful. Cheng, I will take care of this matter. I will make sure to take over the Yan Lai Building. This place is a cornucopia, not to be missed. I won't tell you now. I have to Go to Yan Lai Tower before the news spreads!" King Wei patted his round belly and stood up.
Luo Zhang directly handed a box on the table to King Wei and said: "There are one thousand taels of gold in it. Please give back more and make up for less. If it is not enough, send someone to get it!"
"Hahaha, not bad, really good. Doing business with you is the best decision in my life!" King Wei clapped the box in his hand and laughed and went downstairs.
Seeing the figure of King Wei sitting in a sedan, shouting and leaving, Luo Zhang slowly said: "Except for Yanlailou, you should contact the other Dou family's shops now and find someone to help you take stock of them. Remember , lower the price hard for me, those shops are not Yanlailou, it will not hurt us to buy more!"
"Okay, brother, don't worry! I won't let you down!" Zhao Tianhu, standing behind Luo Zhang, said with a smile. This is a big deal. If they can acquire the Dou family's shop, then their store will be It can be spread out. By then, Chang'an City will not only have ten barbecue shops and a few royal furniture stores, but will be filled with Chang'an City. Who will not know about Datang Barbeque Shops and Royal Furniture Stores by then?
"If the money in the store is not enough, send someone to Luo Mansion to get it!" Luo Zhang warned.
"Okay, little brother, just watch with peace of mind!" Zhao Tianhu said confidently.
After finishing the explanation, Luo Zhang left Datang BBQ Shop and went home directly. Although he slept during the court meeting, Luo Zhang was still a little sleepy. Anyway, he had already explained everything he needed to explain, so he would go home and take a nap first.
But as soon as he got home, his servants reported to him that there was someone waiting for him at home, who came from Luoyang.
Luo Zhang knew who it was as soon as he heard it, and came to the hall with a curve on his lips.
Sure enough, as he expected, whoever it was Liu Renyuan was sitting in the hall.
It's just that at this time, Liu Renyuan was no longer wearing the clothes of a civil servant, but a suit of armor, looking much more heroic.
Seeing Luo Zhang coming, Liu Renyuan hurriedly stood up and bowed down and said: "My subordinate, Liu Renyuan, pays homage to Lord Du Wei!"
Luo Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu Renyuan up, patted his shoulder and said: "Yes, yes, this outfit is worthy of you. Your civilian clothes should have been thrown away long ago!"
"Liu Renyuan would like to thank you for your cultivation. I am willing to go through fire and water for you, no matter what!" Liu Renyuan was about to kneel down on one knee again, but was stopped by Luo Zhang.
"How many times have I told you, don't kneel down all the time. This habit needs to be changed. You have to remember that you are a man who stands upright, not a kowtowing bug. Do you understand?" Luo Zhang said with a tigerish face, looking a little displeased.
"This... I humbly obey my orders!" Liu Renyuan agreed with a wry smile and shook his head.
"That's right. Remember, in the future, you are going to be the commander-in-chief. Don't underestimate yourself. The people I like are not cowards. Do you understand?" Luo Zhang patted Liu Renyuan again. The shoulder said.
When Luo Zhang said this, Liu Renyuan felt his blood boiling all over. Not to mention the gratitude, he secretly vowed to follow Luo Zhang well.
If Cheng Yaojin were here, he would curse Luo Zhang as a monster, and he would be able to win over people at such a young age.
Originally, Liu Renyuan was just the head of the granary in Luoyang City, a small eighth-rank official.
However, Luo Zhang said hello to Cheng Yaojin and had a breath with Pei Tong, the governor of Luoyang City. Pei Tong was grateful to Luo Zhang for helping him and found Dou Jing, so he was naturally willing to help Luo Zhang. .
In this way, Luo Zhang successfully got Liu Renyuan out of Luoyang City and directly arranged for him to be a captain in the Zuowuwei camp where he was located. Luo Zhang was now the Duwei, and it just so happened that Liu Renyuan was named under Luo Zhang's name. , the official position was also raised from the eighth rank to the seventh rank like a rocket. According to the rules, Zuowu Wei Xiaowei should be from the sixth rank. However, Liu Renyuan's previous official position was too low. He was promoted to the seventh rank all at once. This was because Cheng Yaojin saw Luo It was just for Zhang's sake, but if it had been anyone else, he wouldn't have even responded.
Therefore, as soon as Liu Renyuan settled down, he came directly to thank Luo Zhang. After all, without Luo Zhang, how could he change from a civil service to a military position, and even be promoted to an official rank of one rank?
Since he had eaten too much at noon, and Liu Renyuan had also eaten, Luo Zhang did not entertain him for dinner, but just drank tea and chatted with him.
Of course, the most talked about thing is the Northern Expedition to the Turks.
"Now Zuowu Guard, I don't have time to control my guard. Although you are a school captain, I order you to temporarily take over the post of the capital guard and help me train and control this guard. Don't wait till then. Embarrass me if you go to the north." Luo Zhang told Liu Renyuan.
Luo Zhang, the Zuowu Guard Guard, is not a false position, but a real one. There is a guard of his own in Zuowu Guard, but he is usually very busy and has no time to take care of that guard. Most of the time, he It's up to Cheng Yaojin to take care of it, he's just a soy sauce guy.
But now Luo Zhang has someone, and with Liu Renyuan helping him to control them, Luo Zhang can sit back and relax. When the guards are trained, they will be his people.
"Yes, sir, I will do my best to train your army in this humble position!" Liu Renyuan bowed and accepted the order.
"Remember, if anyone dares to disobey you, you will slap their ass for me. I will be responsible for anything that happens!" Luo Zhang ordered.
Liu Renyuan blinked and could only nod silently in agreement. He finally saw that his master did not know how to lead troops at all, but he got the status of a guard. It was really dumbfounding, but Liu Renyuan said before It's not a lie, he must help Luo Zhang lead this guard.
Luo Zhang had just chatted with him, but he told him that in a few months, after winter, the army would set off to the north to fight the Turks. In addition to letting him train soldiers, Luo Zhang would be sent to Zuowu Guard. One reason is to support him. After all, if he stays in Luoyang City, no matter how much he does, he will just be a granary steward, but it will be different when he goes to the northern battlefield. As long as you have the ability, it is a place where miracles happen. It is not difficult to be promoted to three levels in one day, as military merit is all that matters on the battlefield.
This is also the second reason why he is grateful to Luo Zhang.
To be honest, Luo Zhang didn't think too much. He just cherished talents and didn't want Liu Renyuan to bury them. Of course, without Luo Zhang, Liu Renyuan would have opportunities in the future, but that had nothing to do with Luo Zhang.
After admonishing Liu Renyuan, he was allowed to leave.
As for Luo Zhang, he was so sleepy that he went back to his house and fell asleep.
