The woman in front of her was much thinner and haggard.
But the whole person's elegant and fairy-like temperament is still...
Yu Li nodded subconsciously, and then said to the woman, "Master, do you know Lu Qian?"
After the woman heard Yu Li's words, she was slightly stunned, shook her head and said, "I don't know..."
After Yu Li confirmed it repeatedly, he told the woman again about Lu Qian's visit to him.
The woman's expression did not change at all, she still shook her head and said, "You made a mistake! I don't know the person you are talking about."
Yu Li still wanted to speak.
The woman said, "I have cut off all contact with the world, so I don't want to know about the things in the world..."
Only then did Yu Li give up.
...
When Lu Qian saw Yu Li leaving, he was reluctant to leave.
Zhang Bao originally called a few imperial soldiers to help him move his things.
But Lu Qian didn't have anything except a box.
On the way out.
Lu Qian still told Zhang Bao a few words.
Ask him to help take care of Xi Fei and Shu Yang.
Looking at Zhang Bao, he didn't agree.
Instead, his expression was twisted, as if he had something to say.
Lu Qian looked at Zhang Bao strangely and asked, "Brother Zhang, do you have something to tell me?"
Zhang Bao chuckled and said, "I can't hide anything from you, Brother Lu... I do have something, and I want to do it with you!"
After listening to Zhang Bao's words, Lu Qian didn't understand.
"You want to fight with ***? Aren't you doing a good job as the commander of the Imperial Army?"
Zhang Bao smiled bitterly and spoke.
It was really good before.
However, since Xia Yan came, everything has changed...
He said he was the leader.
However, Xia Yan's power was gradually emptied of his power.
Therefore, he felt that what the commander was doing was boring.
He heard that Lu Qian was now the Minister of the Ministry of War and was going to the Western Expedition.
This piqued his interest.
Although being under the command of the Forbidden Army is not only dignified, but also comfortable.
However, he has never really liked this kind of life. He has always felt that the life of fighting and fighting is the life he wants.
Lu Qian was naturally willing to let Zhang Bao follow him.
Zhang Bao was a general, but he didn't want him to follow him.
Because he knew very well that this trip would definitely be full of difficulties and a narrow escape from death.
"If it's a normal battle, I'm willing to take you... However, this war is no ordinary war!" Lu Qian said, looking around to make sure there was no one around and continued, "Actually, your Majesty's real purpose is for..."
Lu Qian did not hide anything about Zhang Bao.
After Zhang Bao heard this, he looked at Zhang Bao with a bewildered expression and said, "Since you know it's going to be a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, you still want to go? Are you crazy?"
Lu Qian smiled helplessly and said, "Brother Zhang, it's a long story..."
Before Lu Qian could finish speaking, Zhang Bao interrupted, "You don't have to say it, that's what makes it exciting! Didn't we say it when we became sworn sworn brothers? We don't want to be born in the same year and the same month on the same day, but we want to die in the same year and the same month! Then I'll tell you more I have to follow you! Just wait for me, and I will beg Your Majesty right away."
As he spoke, Zhang Bao hurriedly ran towards the palace.
Lu Qian was helpless, but he didn't stop him.
As soon as he left the palace, he saw He Xun's carriage waiting.
"Brother He, you have been waiting here for a long time..." Lu Qian said to He Xun in surprise.
He Xun gave a wry smile, and then said to Lu Qian, "Originally, I wanted to go into the palace to pick you up. However, my mother has a destiny. Without her permission, I absolutely cannot enter the palace. I asked Brother Zhang and I'm sure you can come out. , I’m waiting for you here..."
"What Princess Xian is worried about is that you are right not to enter the palace!" Lu Qian said to He Xun.
He Xun smiled slightly, and then invited Lu Qian to get on the carriage.
After getting on the carriage, He Xun said to Lu Qian, "Brother Lu, Xia Yan has set his sights on my fine salt business, and seems to want me to package this business and let Wan Gan take care of it! Your Majesty seems to have the same intention... I Although I didn’t agree..."
"Leave it to him, a small salt business, leave it all to them! Let's do it with the left hand and the right hand, just make a 30% profit!" Lu Qian said to He Xun without even thinking about it.
"If we do it ourselves, I have calculated that we can make at least 80% of the profit. And since this is our monopoly... the price may be even higher." He Xun said very confidently.
Lu Qian smiled faintly and said, "You can't make enough money...and you really want to make 80% profit...you have to spend a lot of effort! Turn your left hand to your right hand, and you will make 30% profit! That's enough! And you also Having said that, His Majesty has already spoken. If we hold on, then I am afraid that the 30% profit will be lost...just like those ministers in the court..."
After listening to Lu Qian's words, He Xun asked with a face full of gossip, "Is it possible...it's really just like the rumors..."
Lu Qian did not let He Xun speak anymore, but changed the subject and asked He Xun.
"You can't tell... where are our other businesses? Did Wan Qian extend his hand over here? Come and steal our business," Lu Qian said.
He Xun nodded and said, "Of course...as long as we are involved in business, they all come to do the same thing as us. We make bras, and they also make bras. We sell Taimao wine, and they also sell Taimao wine. We sell They also sell perfume and soap! Moreover, since we moved these workshops out of Qingfeng City, our technology has been stolen by them. So it has had a certain impact on our business. "
Lu Qian was not surprised at all. These businesses did not have much technical content.
He didn't think he could finish the business alone.
After all, the market is still very huge.
Lu Qian smiled slightly and then said, "I have long thought that such a day would come! These shops are in Kyoto now, right?"
He Xun nodded slightly and said, "Yes! However, as far as I know, Wan Qian has taken advantage of being the largest chamber of commerce on the mainland and has opened corresponding stores throughout Daxia. Our funds are not his at all. Our opponents... If we continue at this pace, we can only keep our business in Kyoto."
Lu Qian smiled slightly and then said, "In this case, it's time for us to introduce the franchise method!"
"Join? What do you mean?" He Xun asked with surprise on his face.
"There must be a lot of people who want to do our business." Lu Qian said to He Xun.
He Xun nodded and said, "Of course, although Wanqian Chamber of Commerce relies on imitating our products and technologies, there is still a certain gap. Therefore, the market still prefers our products! Many giant businessmen in Kyoto have come to see me. However, at the beginning You said that we want to build a brand and don’t cooperate! I rejected everything!”
