When Luo Zhang returned to the mansion to have dinner and was drinking tea and resting in the study, Wu Shaobin walked in.
"Luo Zhang, King Wei is here!" Wu Shaobin said with suppressed laughter.
Seeing Wu Shaobin's appearance, Luo Zhang couldn't help but wonder: "What is he doing here?"
"You also said that you must have been frightened by the three heads you sent and the words you brought!"
"As long as you have any brains, you will never let him go. He will naturally come to you and beg you to let him go. His troops have all fallen into your hands. I'm afraid there won't be anyone left in your hands." For him to drive, if he leaves Chang'an and returns to his fiefdom, isn't he looking for death!" Wu Shaobin said with a smile.
Luo Zhang rolled his eyes. He was just scaring King Wei. Although he had the idea of moving King Wei, he gave it up when he returned to the mansion. The cost of moving King Wei was too high and it was not cost-effective. Moreover, King Wei was already a Yesterday was a waste. It was impossible to return to Chang'an again. It no longer meant anything to him. Anyway, he had nothing to lose. He even had to thank King Wei. If it weren't for him, Luo Zhang wouldn't have been able to measure his own strength. how.
"Then why are you laughing?" Luo Zhang looked at Wu Shaobin and asked.
"You haven't seen King Wei's appearance. It's really funny. When he came, he didn't come by himself, but was carried by two people. His legs were weak and seemed to be paralyzed. He couldn't stand at all. Can't stop!" Wu Shaobin laughed again.
Hearing Wu Shaobin's words, Luo Zhang burst into laughter. He really didn't expect that King Wei would be so useless. With only three heads, he was so frightened in one sentence. If he became the emperor, he would not cause chaos in the Tang Dynasty. ah!
Fortunately, Li Shimin had good foresight and did not choose him, otherwise he would really be ruined in the hands of King Wei.
When Luo Zhang came to the hall and saw Li Tai, he simply couldn't believe that the person in front of him was Li Tai.
In the past, Li Tai would always hold his head high and chest out wherever he went, with a shy belly and a sly smile on his face. But now Li Tai shrinks his body, his back is arched, his face is pale, and he has no smile at all. The whole person seemed to be recovering from a serious illness.
Seeing Luo Zhang's arrival, Li Tai immediately became energetic. With the help of his subordinates, he came down to Luo Zhang and bowed in front of Luo Zhang and said: "Luo Zhang, if you have a lot of money, don't argue with me. I have a small belly and chicken intestines. I am not a human being." I'm vicious, I'm petty, I shouldn't have sent people to find trouble with you, and I shouldn't have taken your shop while you were away..."
"Luo Zhang, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Don't take me to heart. I'll compensate you. I'll compensate for all your losses. I don't want the barbecue shop anymore. I'll give it all to you. In addition, I I’ll give you another ten thousand, no, twenty thousand gold, what do you think?” King Wei rambled.
Looking at King Wei who looked like a bereaved dog in front of him, Luo Zhang really couldn't find any interest in dealing with him. He waved his hand and said, "That's it. I hope you won't ask for trouble again. Otherwise, even if you return to the fiefdom, I won't do it." It will make you feel better, do you understand?”
"Okay, okay, I understand. I will never quarrel with you again. I will have the things delivered to you in a moment. You can also ask someone to pick up the barbecue shop. I will leave Chang'an soon and never come back. It's done!" King Wei breathed a sigh of relief and promised again and again at the same time.
The departing King of Wei was still being carried away, and Luo Zhang didn't see him off. It had nothing to do with him, so why should he see him off.
After settling the matter with King Wei, Luo Zhang went into the underground secret room alone. Luo Zhang spent the night here in the past few days in order to get the gunpowder out as soon as possible. When he was tired, he slept underground. Anyway There's nothing you can do when you go up there. Both of them have big bellies. How dare he be so arrogant at this time!
Gao Yang knew about the matter between Luo Zhang and Chang Le, and she had no objections to it. On the contrary, she agreed very much. In her opinion, she and Mei Niang could not serve Luo Zhang these days, and it happened that Chang Le could help her. In this way Luo Zhang, who was spared, went out to flirt with women, which could be described as killing two birds with one stone.
After knowing Gao Yang's thoughts, Luo Zhang exclaimed that the boldness of the people of the Tang Dynasty could not be matched by later generations.
Early on the next morning, Luo Zhang walked out of the underground secret room. Before he could go to the hall to have breakfast, he was stopped again by Wu Shaobin, who took him to a warehouse in the front yard.
When Luo Zhang came to the warehouse and looked at the boxes placed in the warehouse, he couldn't help but swallowed.
The boxes were all filled with gold cakes. Each piece of gold cake was bright yellow, and Luo Zhang's eyes lit up when he looked at it.
It's not that he has never seen gold, but he spends money like water these days. The money that comes to him never comes overnight, and most of it is spent directly.
The money he left behind was not much at all. He had not seen so much money for a long time, so Luo Zhang was naturally very excited.
"Uncle, you didn't tell Mei Niang and the others about the money, did you?" Luo Zhang looked around and said.
"No, when King Wei sent someone to deliver it in the morning, I specifically asked them to put it here. I didn't transport it in. Although the servants saw it, they didn't know what it was!" Wu Shaobin explained.
"It's fine if you don't tell them, just don't tell them. Don't tell them about the money for now. I'm useful. You also know that the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty is recruiting new recruits and building ships. These all cost money. Don't look at it. There is a lot of money here, but if you throw it away in these two places, I'm afraid it won't be enough!" Luo Zhang helplessly shook his head.
Wu Shaobin nodded. He knew something about the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty. Wu Shaobin did recruit a lot of soldiers, and it was not easy to train a soldier to become a veteran. Money was also essential!
After Wu Shaobin left, Luo Zhang rubbed his hands, looked at the gold cakes in front of him, and thought about how many gold cakes he should put into the system. At present, the points in the system were less than one million, and points were consumed every day. Luo Zhang only kept 300,000 yuan every time he received money, which was not enough for supply expenses. You must know that Guangwu Shaobin and Chen Kuifeng consumed a broiler and green spot every three days, which is 15,000 yuan. Thousand points, and the corn used by the Eighteen Riders costs two thousand points each. One day's consumption is 36,000 points, and three days will cost more than one hundred thousand points. Now that he has also broken through the True Essence Realm, he also needs Spending points to advance, plus other people's points, he would need to spend hundreds of thousands of points in three days, and probably more than one million in a month, so Luo Zhang's points have been in a deficit, and he is resting on his laurels. Now it's better. King Wei, a good man, has generously provided welfare and given himself 20,000 gold, which finally solved his urgent need.
After thinking for a while, Luo Zhang gritted his teeth, took the 10,000 taels of gold into the system, and directly exchanged it for one million points. In this way, his points would be close to 2 million, which he would not need for a while. I was worried about the points. As for the remaining 10,000 gold, as Luo Zhang just said to Wu Shaobin, it was planned to be used to continue to recruit new soldiers.
The more than 2,000 people in the barracks are simply not enough. At least 5,000 are needed. Adding Liu Renyuan's team, Luo Zhang can have 7,000 naval soldiers. Although he will not be able to form three fleets, But it is still possible to form two fleets.
The key issue here is the training of new recruits. After watching Liu Rengui's training yesterday, he was greatly disappointed. It was not that Liu Rengui did not do well, but that he did not focus on the actual training. However, after his scolding, he thought Liu Rengui should Can understand what he means.
After finishing breakfast, Luo Zhang asked someone to send the remaining 10,000 gold to the Yanlai Building underground vault for storage. It was safer to store it there, and the cost of Liu Rengui and the construction of the dock came from there. Withdrawal also saves Luo Zhang a lot of things.
As for the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty, Luo Zhang has high hopes. Now Luo Zhang is also waiting for Liu Renyuan to come back. As long as he comes back, many problems can be solved.
Regardless of whether money is not so tight anymore, after he comes back, I am afraid many people will pay attention. If they know that Liu Renyuan can transport the goods to Jiangnan very quickly and safely, I am afraid they will ask for sea transportation, and the commission and warehouse fees collected will be enough. Let Luo Zhang make a lot of money.
In addition, after Liu Renyuan comes back, the soldiers he brought out can serve as instructors and be incorporated into the new recruits to help Liu Rengui train the new recruits, and Luo Zhangzai does not need to worry about this.
