Not far in front of Liu Renyuan, there is indeed a small island, but the area of ​​this island is pitifully small. It only looks like two or three miles in size from a distance. It is said to be an island, but in fact it is similar to a coral reef.

When the ship approached, Liu Renyuan got off the ship and stood on the island, dumbfounded.

For no other reason, there is nothing on this island, bare, only sand and sand.

Liu Renyuan couldn't understand why the adults asked him to find this inconspicuous little island. Could it be that there was something magical about this island?

Thinking of this, Liu Renyuan ordered his men to look around to see if there was really anything magical about it.

Before Liu Renyuan could rest for a moment, his men rushed towards him, "My lord, my lord, we have discovered something!"

"Huh? Is there really a magical place?" Liu Renyuan was slightly stunned.

"What did you find?" Liu Renyuan looked at the running men and asked.

"Sir, there is a fresh water pool in the center of the island. The water in the pool is sweet and delicious. It is enough for us to replenish fresh water!" His subordinates reported hurriedly.

"Fresh water pool?" Liu Renyuan's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that such a tiny island actually had fresh water.

According to what the adults said, this island will be built into a port in the future. Originally, he was still thinking about how to build a port in such a small place. After all, a port cannot be built casually. There are still many conditions. This first One is fresh water.

Now that this small island actually has fresh water, doesn't that mean it can become a very good port?

But how do adults know there is fresh water here? Have you ever been here? There is a big question mark above Liu Renyuan's head.

Chang'an, after experiencing the tax incident, the city of Chang'an seems to be much more stable, and there are no more disturbances.

However, this stability did not include Luo Zhang. Outside Chang'an City, there was Yushan. Ever since His Majesty assigned Yushan to him, Luo Zhang had been wandering around Yushan all day long, inspecting the terrain. Following him were a group of people from the Ministry of Industry. Craftsmen, whenever Luo Zhang stopped here and pointed and said something, the craftsmen took the sheepskin and wrote and drew on it, recording something.

Regarding Luo Zhang, these craftsmen were skeptical and unconvinced at first. Why should they listen to Luo Zhang when building a military fortress?

They are the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry. In the past, they were responsible for the design and construction every time, but this time they had to listen to Luo Zhang. These craftsmen thought it was a joke. Luo Zhang was only twenty years old. What could he understand at this age? Will you build a fortress? Lord Shangshu is having some fun!

Since being punished by Luo Zhang last time, Yan Lide and Yan Liben have become a lot more honest, but this does not mean that they have forgotten their hatred. For example, when building the fortress this time, you Luo Zhang are not awesome. Labor and management will not let anyone design it for you. , it depends on how you complete His Majesty's arrangement. If you are unable to complete it and the construction cannot be completed, you may be unlucky.

But what the two brothers Yan Lide and Yan Liben never expected was that Luo Zhang actually designed and built the fortress himself. Not only did he know how to design the fortress, he was also very proficient in it. Looking at the way he directed the country, he looked like a boy under twenty. , even the great craftsmen don’t have such a calm and composed look as him. People with such a look are all confident and confident in their hearts.

What kind of freak is this Luo Zhang riding a horse? This is the helpless thought in the hearts of brothers Yan Lide and Yan Liben!

The trap set for Luo Zhang was ruthlessly shattered by Luo Zhang. Not only that, the craftsmen were also impressed by Luo Zhang. No one spoke against Luo Zhang. This was also the scene he saw at the beginning, and a group of craftsmen followed. Luo Zhang wrote and drew pictures behind his back to record the reasons!

Luo Zhang visited every corner of Yushan. Luo Zhang carefully explained to the craftsmen from the Ministry of Engineering how to transform each place and what to build. After all this work was completed, it took three days. At that time, Luo Zhang was exhausted. Fortunately, he didn't have to worry about it anymore. Everything that needed to be said and done was done. The rest just had to be done as he said.

Luo Zhang spent two days recuperating at home before he regained his composure. Of course, Luo Zhang did not have nothing to do. Every day, Li Yifu would send a piece of information, reporting on various trends in Chang'an City.

When Luo Zhang saw a piece of news, he couldn't help but grin.

In Prince Wei's Mansion, King Li Tai of Wei was losing his temper in his mansion at several people dressed as stewards.

"What's the point of raising you guys? Ah, tell me, what's the point of raising you? Look at this account book. Datang Barbecue Restaurant has earned hundreds of taels in the past few days. Why is it only a few hundred taels? Tell me. Ah!" Li Tai roared.

The stewards looked bitter. They naturally knew why, but how could they tell King Wei? Are you saying that it's all because you broke up with Luo Zhang that Datang Barbeque Shop has no food supply?

You must know that the fundamental reason why the business of Datang BBQ Shop is so prosperous is the ingredients produced by Luo Zhang's system. Those things cannot be bought outside, and the ordinary ingredients of Datang BBQ Shop cannot be sold at high prices. It's not bad to be able to get a few hundred taels of silver. Even King Wei is not satisfied with this. What will you do if you let them take care of things?

"Speak, why don't any of you speak? Are you all mute? If you want to be mute, I can help you!" Li Tai said fiercely.

"King Wei, please spare your life!" When several stewards heard that they were going to become mute, their faces turned pale with fear, and they all knelt down and begged.

"Then tell me, why has my income been so low these days?" Li Tai looked at the stewards and asked.

Several stewards looked at each other, and finally the oldest one gritted his teeth and said, "King Wei, the reason is because of the ingredients!"

"Ingredients? What do you mean?" Li Tai frowned slightly.

"The previous Datang Barbeque Shop had a lot of great tonic ingredients. There was still a lot of inventory before, but it was all used up in the past few days. There are no such great tonic ingredients in the warehouse. Without those ingredients, we just If you can sell mutton kebabs and other ordinary items, the price will not be high. Naturally, there is no income these days. A few hundred taels is already considered good!" The steward gritted his teeth and said all the words, but of course he did not say anything. The ingredients were left by Luo Zhang, but King Wei could understand them as long as he wasn't stupid.

"What did you say? The ingredients for the big tonic are gone. If they are gone, you go buy them again..." Before he could finish his words, Li Tai came to his senses and thought about whose oysters and chives belonged to him.

Luo Zhang, Luo Zhang, it turns out you are waiting for me here!

You know that my barbecue shop can't operate without your ingredients, so you're not in a hurry at all, and you don't give me any face. If I want the barbecue shop, just give it to me. It seems generous, but it's actually vicious.

Damn, really hateful!

Without the ingredients provided by Luo Zhang, how could Datang Barbecue Shop be opened? The income of a few hundred taels a day is not enough for him to live in. What is the use of this kind of shop?

It was only then that King Wei felt a little regretful. How could he be so blinded by lard that he seize Luo Zhang's barbecue shop? If he hadn't taken it, the monthly share of one hundred thousand taels would have been great. Now it's better. Luo Zhang was offended, the share was gone, and the store's business plummeted!

But he had already humbly gone to the door to ask for peace, but Luo Zhang didn't accept this at all!

Is it possible that he still needs to come to apologize?

Don't even think about it. If he, the majestic King of Wei, apologizes to others, wouldn't he be laughing at others' teeth?

"I don't care, you guys can find a way for me to improve the business of Datang BBQ Shop. If the business of Datang BBQ Shop is still like this, don't come to see me, just jump into the river!" Wei King Li Tai had no choice but to take Luo Zhang. Take your anger out on these stewards.

After hearing King Wei's words, several stewards turned pale, which obviously meant that they were not allowed to live.

The original profit of Datang Barbecue Shop was hundreds of thousands taels a month, but now it is only 10,000 taels a month after full payment. The difference is so big that even if the gods come down to earth, they can't do anything about it.

King Wei also knew that this was a difficult task, but he couldn't think of a way. What do you want him to do? So only the people below are unlucky.

Luo Zhang also laughed after seeing the news.

In the study, looking at Li Yifu standing in front of him, Luo Zhang said solemnly: "Go and send me a letter to the prince!"

As he spoke, Luo Zhang picked up the brush on the desk and started writing. After the ink dried, Luo Zhang put the letter in an envelope, sealed it with fire paint, and handed it to Li Yifu.

Not to mention the shock in Li Yifu's heart, he didn't expect that the Lord would fall out with the King of Wei, and in an instant he would become involved with the Crown Prince. I couldn't help but admire him!
