Luo Zhang's unexpected return cheered up Li Yifu.
No matter how powerful he is and how much information he has, after all, he is just a member of the civil service and cannot make any waves in the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, the things he controls require the financial support of Yanlailou Zhao Tianhu. Without money, the things he controls are nothing more than flowers in the mirror.
In the final analysis, everything about him, like Zhao Tianhu, was given by Luo Zhang. Without Luo Zhang, he is nothing. Luo Zhang is his backer. As long as Luo Zhang is here, he will have the confidence to do anything. This is his backer. effect!
"Sir, what should we do now?" Li Yifu asked Luo Zhang in the hall of his mansion.
"what to do?"
Luo Zhang's eyes flashed coldly as he continued: "Since Changsun Wuji won't stop, he will use his plan. Send someone to inform my uncle and ask him to continue escorting the ore. Kuifeng and Shibaqi are secretly ambushing me and dare to rob me." Just cut them down and see if he dares to plunder the ore again."
"In addition, inform Liu Renyuan and Liu Rengui to send a fleet to search in the direction of Yuhang County. Changsun Wuji has got the ship and must have someone to control it, and the place with the most sailors is the south. I think he will let the ship go south to recruit people. This way the boats he photographed can be put to use!"
"Tell Liu Renyuan and the others that once they find the warship photographed by Chang Sun Wuji, don't sink it. I want to photograph it again!" Luo Zhang said with a smile on his face.
After receiving Luo Zhang's instructions, Li Yifu immediately went to work. Luo Zhang did not stay here for long. Instead, he took Chen Kuifeng towards Yanlai Tower, and he did not take off his disguise. He did not want others to know that he was there. is back.
When he came to Yanlai Tower, the place was still crowded with people, just like when he left. From this, it seems that Zhao Tianhu has taken care of himself well these days, and he is not suppressed by others like before when there was no news about him.
But that was disappearing, and now he is going to the north to fight. The two are completely different.
When he walked into Yanlai Building, a waiter came up to him and asked Luo Zhang to show his membership token. As a big boss, where did Luo Zhang get the token?
After scratching his head, Luo Zhang said to the waiter: "Tell Zhao Tianhu, just say, little Huzi, I'm back!"
The waiter was a little confused, and after looking at the dress of the person in front of him, he didn't look like a wealthy person, so he said with disdain: "Just you? You still want to talk to our shopkeeper Zhao? You want me to take the message? You Are you kidding me? When the shopkeeper comes later, if he gets angry when he sees you, I will suffer the same consequences. You should just go back and forth wherever you go!"
Luo Zhang looked helpless, but he couldn't tear off his disguise, so he could only say patiently: "Go and tell Zhao Tianhu, I promise he won't trouble you. I will be responsible for anything that happens. I mean, let's buy some wine." ."
As he spoke, Luo Zhang took out a couple of pieces of silver from his sleeve and pressed it into the boy's hand.
Seeing the person taking the money, the young man's eyes lit up, he weighed the money in his hand, thought about it in his mind, nodded and said: "You guys wait here, I will report it to the shopkeeper, don't run around. If you bump into a noble person, you won’t be able to walk around in vain!”
Chen Kuifeng said from the side: "Sir, why don't you let me call Zhao Tianhu?"
"It was nothing before, but now there are many people looking at him. If you rush to find him, if people find out, wouldn't everyone know that I am back?" Luo Zhang explained.
After a while, Zhao Tianhu walked over with a big belly.
He originally thought that the younger brother was back, but when he came to the door, he saw two strangers, which made him frown slightly.
And people kept saying hello to him along the way, and he could only respond one by one.
When he came to Luo Zhang, Zhao Tianhu whispered: "Are you sent here by my lord?"
Luo Zhang secretly nodded and said: "Xiao Huzi, I don't see that you are quite cautious. Let's go and take me to the private room. There are too many people watching you here!"
As soon as Luo Zhang opened his mouth, Zhao Tianhu showed a hint of joy on his face.
He is the person who has followed Luo Zhang for the longest time. Why can't he hear Luo Zhang's voice? At the same time, he has followed Luo Zhang for a long time and knows a lot of things. For example, the reason why Luo Zhang dressed up and returned to Chang'an is obviously because the army has not returned yet. Luo Zhang came back early and cannot be known to others. Otherwise, once exposed, the censors will spray Luo Zhang to death.
After taking Luo Zhang to the private room on the fourth floor, Zhao Tianhu immediately greeted him and said, "Brother, why didn't you come back with the army?"
"With so many things happening in Chang'an, how can I come back slowly and leisurely!" Luo Zhang came to the terrace outside the private room and said looking down.
"What do you need me to do, little brother?" Zhao Tianhu asked.
"How is the situation over there with the prince?" Luo Zhang asked without answering.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hasn't been here much these days. Most of the time, his butler comes here to check out and pick up goods! The business of the barbecue shop is very good now. The Crown Prince wants to make a lot of money by coming here!" Zhao Tianhu said roughly.
"Where's our business?" Luo Zhang asked again!
"Brother, atone for your sins, Xiao Huzi did something wrong!"
When it came to business, Zhao Tianhu immediately knelt down.
"What's wrong with you? Where's the mistake?" Luo Zhang said without looking at Zhao Tianhu or letting him get up.
"I shouldn't have secretly decided to auction the warships captured by Mr. Liu Renyuan, allowing Changsun Wuji to take advantage of the loophole and auction off nineteen intact warships!" Zhao Tianhu admitted honestly.
"Your share will be reduced from 10% to half. When you perform well, it will be restored to 10%." Luo Zhang said lightly.
"Thank you, brother!" Zhao Tianhu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Luo Zhang say this. He was really afraid that Luo Zhang would kick him away, and all the wealth and status he had now would be in vain.
Although he would lose a lot of money every year by reducing his shareholding by half, he knew that this was Luo Zhang's punishment for him, and he accepted it. Who asked him to make his own decisions!
How could it be possible if something like this happened without taking some responsibility? But as long as Luo Zhang didn't drive him away, it wouldn't be a big deal!
"Okay, don't think that I take half of your share for myself. The trouble you caused this time will require a lot of people to wipe your ass. This half of it is going to be shared with them, you understand!" Luo Zhang explained.
"Yes, little brother, Xiao Huzi knows!" Zhao Tianhu said hurriedly.
"Okay, let's talk about the accounts during my absence!" Luo Zhang picked up the tea that Zhao Tianhu made for him next to him and took a sip.
"In the past few months since you have been away, Yanlailou's business has been good. It can earn two million taels per month. Lishan Hot Spring is also good at one million taels per month. The most popular one is Royal Pier's four hundred taels per month. Ten thousand taels, the least is 300,000 taels from the Royal Furniture Store. In the three months since you left, the total income was about 22 million taels."
"However, it costs a lot. The construction of the cottage over the silica iron mine has been completed in these days, and a total of one million taels was spent. The construction of the city in the Yushan fiefdom cost ten million taels, and there are still one thousand and one thousand taels left. One million taels!" Zhao Tianhu reported the accounts in detail!
