"No problem, let's high-five each other!" Lu Chen directly stretched out his hand and smacked Chai Shao's hand. As for the other princes, Chai Shao also directly represented them. After high-fiving each other, everyone laughed. .
Is Lu Chen really going to make a loss-making deal? No, Lu Chen's idea is to popularize his Lujiazhuang model. The most important thing is that quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. When the removal of slave status becomes a common phenomenon, what will your family do? You must know that the ones with the most servants are neither the royal family nor these princes or relatives, but the aristocratic families.
When more people get rid of their slave status, more people want to let their descendants get ahead. The reason why aristocratic families are so powerful now is that they control books and there are many scholars in aristocratic families. The so-called poor families are just the children of declining aristocratic families. , they do not have slave status, they can still study and submit papers. Ordinary people are mostly craftsmen or villagers. Most of the craftsmen have craftsman status, and most of the villagers have slave status. If you want to study, sorry, you have to cancel your registration first. Bar!
It is impossible to study without removing the slave registration. Lu Chen removed the slave registration of the craftsmen and farmers, which gave them the hope of studying. When these people increased, the number of scholars also increased, and even all kinds of There are more and more talented people. When this becomes a general trend, no matter how big the manpower of your family is, can it cover the world?
Okay, you can block the Tang Dynasty, can you block the outside of the Tang Dynasty? Lu Chen's first goal is the vast land owned by the Turks. In Lu Chen's view, these Turks want to have treasure mountains without knowing it. The vast land under the ground is full of treasures. Lu Chen wants to stabilize the Tang Dynasty. , the Turks were taken care of, and Lu Chen wanted to build a city to take out the treasures in the vast underground.
That's why Lu Chen proposed this game to several gentlemen that seemed to be a loss.
While they were chatting and laughing, they arrived at the door of Lu Chen's mansion. Su Chang was already waiting at the door.
"I have met all the gentlemen!" Su Chang was not unfamiliar with these gentlemen. After all, she had met these gentlemen when she was a female official in the palace, so Su Chang saluted several of them.
When they saw Su Chang, everyone except Chai Shao was shocked. The female officer was actually working as a housekeeper for Lu Chen. What does this mean? This shows that Lu Chen will definitely be an out-and-out prince consort in the future, but although they can tell that Su Chang is a female official, they don't know which female official next to the princess, so they all bring He looked at Chai Shao with questioning eyes, but Chai Shao smiled mysteriously and didn't say anything.
Of course, Chai Shao didn't want to talk about it when they saw him, and the others were sensible and didn't ask.
"Su Chang, serve tea in the front hall!" After Lu Chen explained to Su Chang, he led a few people directly to the front hall to seat the guests and hosts.
With little effort, Su Chang took her maid to the front hall and placed tea cups on the tea tables next to the gentlemen. Naturally, she was no stranger to this set of Chai Shao, as well as the decorations in the front hall, etc. , after all, it was not his first time here, but it was the first time for the others. When they saw the decorations here, Lu Chen was full of curiosity, especially Cheng Yaojin, who had never seen anything like this before. I was interested in an armchair, so I couldn't help but touch it with my hands.
But after all, they are all people who have experienced strong winds and waves. Seeing that Lu Chen and Chai Shao had already sat down, several other people also sat in the armchairs. When they sat down, they realized that the chair was sitting on It's really comfortable. Sitting on this armchair, you can relax your arms and legs. It's much more comfortable than sitting in a squat position.
"What is this?" Liu Hongji touched the handle of the armchair and looked at Lu Chen and asked curiously.
"This thing is called an armchair. Is it comfortable for you guys to sit on?" Lu Chen picked up the teacup, half-opened the lid of the bowl, blew the tea leaves floating inside, took a sip, and said with a smile.
"This thing is so comfortable! How many more will you give me, old Cheng?" Cheng Yaojin looked at Lu Chen and said with a bared smile.
"Of course this is not a problem! And I have another idea, I wonder if you are interested?" Lu Chen took another sip of tea, put down the teacup, looked at everyone and asked.
"Xiandi has the most ideas. He must have come up with something else, right?" Chai Shao put down the tea cup in his hand and said with a smile.
"I'm thinking, what if we set up a woodware shop and sell these furniture in Chang'an City?" Lu Chen said with a smile.
"Woodware shop?" After hearing Lu Chen's words, everyone looked at each other. They had never thought that this furniture could be sold for money.
After all, there are not as many types of furniture in this era as later generations. The furniture at this time basically maintains couches, cabinets, tables, grids, stools, etc. Obviously, Lu Chen’s home has more types of furniture and more functions. , if all these are sold, not to mention, the profit will definitely not be less, and these things are all designed by Lu Chen, which means that this thing is now in the monopoly stage. What is a monopoly? It means that only you If you can make this kind of money, it's called a monopoly.
"Brother Yu can provide technical support. As for the store and management candidates, it is up to you to arrange it!" Lu Chen said with a smile as he looked at the few people.
Since they have already had business dealings with the royal family, these princes naturally have to give them some sweeteners, otherwise it will be difficult to play this big game, because if they want to save the lives of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji in that incident, , but it requires the cooperation of these father-in-laws, so it is impossible not to close the relationship with them.
"Our old Cheng has a quite big shop in Dongshi, but it has not been very prosperous. We can take out this shop!" Cheng Yaojin was the first to respond.
"Then we, Mr. Liu, will provide you with a shop in the West Market!" Liu Hongji picked up the tea cup and took a sip. This was Liu Hongji's first time drinking tea, and he was immediately attracted by it. , looked at the light yellow tea in the tea cup with some surprise.
"Brother Liu Xian, if you like this tea, can you ask your servant to pack some for you before you leave?" Lu Chen naturally saw Liu Hongji's expression and said with a smile.
"What about ours?" Cheng Yaojin asked quickly after hearing that Lu Chen promised to give Liu Hongji tea.
"Everyone has it! In the future, this tea can also be traded, but now the output is scarce, so it cannot be sold. We can only taste it first. Moreover, the place of origin of this tea has some connections with Prince Zhao. , Yudi has entrusted this matter to Prince Zhao!" Lu Chen said with a smile.
"Oh! How embarrassing is this! A few of us are here to accompany Brother Qin for medical treatment. It's embarrassing to drink and take so much!" Hearing Lu Chen's words, Cheng Yaojin said with a smile, even though his mouth When he said this, he didn't show any embarrassment at all.
"Actually, I have something to ask for, my foolish brother!" Lu Chen said with a smile, looking at Cheng Yaojin's playful look.
"Oh? I wonder what Brother Lu Xian wants? Maybe we can help?" As soon as they heard Lu Chen say that he had something to ask for, these people had all received Lu Chen's benefits. Although they hadn't gotten the tea yet, they could still drink it. When it came to his mouth, he knew that such rare things could only be found in Lu Chen. Therefore, as soon as they heard that Lu Chen wanted to ask for something, several people turned their attention to Lu Chen.
"Yu Di has always felt that His Highness the King of Qin is a dragon and a phoenix among men, but he has never dared to go to see him, and he can't find a suitable reason to go. Moreover, both His Majesty and the Crown Prince have also been to Yu's Lujiazhuang. Yu's rashness to come here It would be a good idea to go visit His Highness the King of Qin..." Lu Chen stopped talking at this point, and the others could naturally understand the meaning of Lu Chen's words.
"It seems that we can only ask the second brother to come forward in this matter!" Cheng Yaojin looked at Qin Qiong and said.
What Cheng Yaojin said is not wrong. In terms of relationship, before the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Qin Qiong and Li Shimin had an iron-clad relationship. Qin Qiong could be said to be the closest person to Li Shimin. Even Li Shimin's current bodyguards were in charge of Qin Qiong. , and the rift in the relationship between the two also occurred after the Xuanwu Gate Incident, because historical records recorded that Qin Qiong maintained a neutral attitude, which alienated him from Li Shimin.
"I agree to this matter!" Qin Qiong nodded simply. In fact, many people in Tiance Mansion are now urging Li Shimin to come to Lujiazhuang. Even though Lu Chen does not command troops, Lu Chen has only one county on his mind. In addition to the title of Duke, there is also the title of Military Advisor of the Women's Army.
If Lu Chen can be persuaded to side with Li Shimin, then it will be easier to get Li Xiuning to Li Shimin's side. After all, Chai Shao is Li Xiuning's consort and has a good relationship with Tiance Mansion. Lu Chen is the military advisor of the Detachment of Women. , what is a strategist? For many things, the coach must obey the strategist's words. If the two of them persuade Li Xiuning to side with Li Shimin at the same time, what will happen to Li Jiancheng?
By then, I'm afraid that the entire military power of the Tang Dynasty, except for those in Chang'an, will be in the hands of Li Shimin.
How could Qin Qiong fail to see the pros and cons here? Naturally, she immediately agreed to this matter.
"Then I have to thank Second Master Qin!" Lu Chen said directly to Qin Qiong, cupping his hands.
"No matter what you say, dear brother, I can still do this little thing!" Qin Qiong smiled softly and said nonchalantly.
"Besides, there may be some commotion in Chang'an City tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so I hope Brother Liu will..." Lu Chen looked at Liu Hongji and smiled.
Liu Hongji holds the rank of General You Xiaowei, and all the guards in Chang'an City have soldiers under his command. Lu Chen thinks it shouldn't be too difficult for him to say hello!
"How big is the matter?" Liu Hongji looked at Lu Chen and asked. After all, this matter can be big or small. If Lu Chen made too much trouble and brought it to the emperor, he would turn a blind eye and be scolded by Li Yuan for dereliction of duty. , so Liu Hongji still needs to ask.
"The noise may be loud, but no one will be killed!" Lu Chen thought for a moment, looked at Liu Hongji seriously and said.
