Under Chen Kuifeng's respectful welcome, Luo Zhang came to the few thatched huts halfway up the mountain. There were not too luxurious buildings here. After all, this was a military area. Luxury was relatively meaningless and would cause His Majesty's displeasure!
Sitting in the hut, Luo Zhang said calmly: "Is there nothing going on these days?"
"Sir, everything is going well these days, and there are no problems!"
"The production of wooden knots is also in an orderly manner. The quantities are counted every day. Moreover, the inventory is not stored here now. People sent by His Majesty will transport the inventory away after a while. As for where it will be transported, Kuifeng doesn't know. !" Chen Kuifeng slowly narrated.
Luo Zhang didn't delve too deeply into this issue. It wouldn't be good if he knew too much about these things. It was His Majesty's business where he wanted to take these things. He just had to do his own thing.
"So there's still no news about the last batch of wooden lumps?"
"No, the Grand Priest has been checking and found nothing. I think the batch of wood lumps has been shipped away." Chen Kuifeng replied.
Luo Zhang also deeply agrees with this. There has been no news after such a long time. It seems that they have been transported away. However, with these batches of wood lumps, it is not ruled out that the enemy will participate in the research and development of the formula. Of course, he wants to participate in the research and development. I don’t know what year it will be. It has been a month, and even if it is researched, it will not be more powerful than his iron lump. Luo Zhang is still confident about this.
In order to study iron lumps, Luo Zhang spent several months underground before he succeeded. It took him several months for a modern person, so you can imagine how difficult it is.
"After I go to the south, you will continue to take turns here, and your family will be entrusted with your care. If there are any problems that cannot be solved, go to Doctor Sun and he will help you!" Luo Zhang instructed.
"Yes, sir!" Chen Kuifeng promised, while Wu Shaobin nodded.
After leaving the mountainside, Luo Zhang took a look at the planted corn again. At this time, the corn had grown a section taller and was growing well. Luo Zhang told Chen Kuifeng and two others to take good care of the corn, so he took Wu Shaobin with him. Left Yushan.
After having inspected all the peripheral areas that should be inspected, Luo Zhang went directly to Yanlai Tower when he returned to Chang'an. Naturally, he had to talk to Zhao Tianhu about the industry.
As soon as I arrived at Yanlai Tower, I heard Zhao Tianhu say that the prince was here.
Luo Zhang went directly to the box on the fourth floor. Prince Li Chengqian was sitting on the deck chair on the platform drinking red wine. He had a special liking for red wine!
Luo Zhang came to the front and said with a smile: "Why is His Royal Highness so interested in coming to Yan Lai Tower today?"
"Didn't I hear that you were tricked by Changsun Wuji and are going to the south? I just came over to see you if I have nothing to do!" Li Chengqian put down his wine glass and said.
"It's not like I was cheated by Changsun Wuji. I just followed the trend. Your Majesty originally wanted to send someone to the south to stabilize Feng An, and I was the most suitable candidate. I staged a play with Your Majesty in the court. That's all!" Luo Zhang said lightly, there is no need to hide this kind of thing from the prince, after all, Li Chengqian will know about it soon.
"Oh? So that's what happened. I was worried for nothing. You have to compensate me!" Li Chengqian smiled and raised the wine glass in his hand, which meant giving him a few bottles of Lafite.
Luo Zhang has never been stingy with such requests. This is the prince, and he may be his majesty in the future. A few bottles of Lafite mean nothing!
"Of course that's no problem. Just take him away when His Highness the Crown Prince leaves!" Luo Zhang agreed readily.
Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction. So far, he has a very good relationship with Luo Zhang. He also knows the importance of Luo Zhang, so he has always been sincere. Without Luo Zhang, it will not be easy for him to get to that position. Yes, in terms of financial resources, there are only a few people in Chang'an City who can compete with Luo Zhang, not to mention that Luo Zhang is a popular figure in front of his father. His words often carry a decisive weight, and when it comes to the critical moment of fighting for the heir apparent, , Luo Zhang can help him.
Besides, even now, the barbecue shop Luo Zhang gave him allowed him to have more money to recruit more people to work for him. This kind of thing was impossible in the past.
After chatting with Li Chengqian for a while, Luo Zhang respectfully sent him out. Of course, four bottles of red wine were also taken away by his entourage!
After the prince left, Luo Zhang was also taken to the underground vault by Zhao Tianhu.
There has been no money collected for a while, and according to Zhao Tianhu, there has been a lot.
When Luo Zhang arrived underground, he was also shocked. He saw that the underground treasury was filled with boxes of various sizes, including silver cakes and gold cakes, which were shining brightly under the light of oil lamps.
"How many are there here?" Luo Zhang asked.
"There are three million taels of silver here!" Zhao Tianhu answered truthfully.
"Oh? Why are there so many?" Luo Zhang wondered. According to his thinking, a million taels would be enough. After all, he collected a batch when he first came back, and shipbuilding and navy maintenance are very expensive. Money, there shouldn't be so much money.
"Brother, you don't know how good the business of the Royal Pier is now. Every day, hundreds of thousands of taels of consignments are brought in. This is only half of it given to His Majesty. Otherwise, there will be more!" Zhao Tianhu laughed! Hehe said.
Luo Zhang also had a smile on his lips. At first, he only thought that he would make a fortune at the dock, but he never thought that he would make a fortune. If such a thing were to be known to others, they would become jealous and even rob Luo Zhang.
Fortunately, he had the foresight to give half of the money to His Majesty and get a title for the Royal Pier. Now even if someone wants to pay attention, they have to think about it.
"You go out first!" Luo Zhang greeted.
Zhao Tianhu seemed to know something, closed the door silently, and walked up.
Luo Zhang walked around, collected two million taels of silver and exchanged them for points, leaving one million taels as turnover, then opened the door and walked out of the underground vault.
