"Oh? I wonder what kind of business Mr. Lu wants to discuss with the Du family?" Upon hearing that Lu Chen wanted to discuss business with the Du family, Li Shimin directly interjected and asked with interest.
As soon as he heard Li Shimin asked, Du Ruhui also wanted to ask, so he suppressed his words and looked at Lu Chen.
"This business is huge!" Lu Chen picked up the tea cup, blew on the tea leaves floating on the water, then took a sip, then looked at Du Ruhui and said with a smile.
"How big is it?" Du Ruhui knew how many good things Lu Chen's Lujiazhuang had, but Du Ruhui had never seen the furniture that Li Shimin asked Cheng Yaojin to bring back from Lujiazhuang, but it did not prevent Du Ruhui from knowing how useful these things were. Ever since he sat on a chair, he was a little uncomfortable with sitting there.
"A hundred thousand guan, or even a few hundred thousand guan!" Lu Chen still looked indifferent, as if it wasn't a hundred thousand guan or even hundreds of thousands guan, but a dozen or even dozens of guan.
"How much?!" Hearing the number spit out from Lu Chen's mouth, Li Shimin almost slipped off his chair and looked directly at Lu Chen and asked loudly, his eyes twinkling.
"More than a hundred thousand or even hundreds of thousands of guan! It could be more. The exact amount depends on the situation!" Lu Chen glanced at the excited Li Shimin and put the tea cup directly on the coffee table next to him. Go up, said calmly.
"Um, I don't know how to do this business?" Hearing such a huge number, even Du Ruhui, who was born in the Jingzhao Du family, found it difficult to accept it for a while, and asked with a trembling voice.
"How to do it specifically? I will send someone to talk to your Du family later, but my ugly words are ahead. If your Du family reveals one thing, don't blame me for being ruthless. Zheng Shanguo will learn from the past. !" Lu Chen straightened his face and looked at Du Ruhui seriously.
"I know that if I reveal even a single word about this matter, it is related to Mr. Lu. I will commit suicide and apologize!" Du Ruhui, a smart man, immediately understood the meaning of Lu Chen's words and went directly to Lu Chen to salute solemnly. promised.
"Don't! I don't dare to take your life. You will be a minister of the Tang Dynasty in the future. If I take your life, then His Highness the King of Qin will not take my life!" Lu Chen waved his hand. He smiled and said, "But, apart from you, if I want to knock your Du family down from the mortal world, it will be easy. I still have this ability!" Lu Chen put away his smile and turned into a stern expression. With a stern look on his face, he warned Du Ruhui.
"Of course I believe it!" Du Ruhui saluted Lu Chen again.
Du Ruhui was familiar with Lu Chen's deeds. When it came to the fact that Lu Chen dared to destroy the front door of the Zheng family, Zheng Shanguo's family, Du Ruhui had no doubt that Lu Chen dared to destroy his Du family's house. With the Zheng family's In comparison, the Du family is really not on the same level. Even the Zheng family can't do anything to Lu Chen, so who does the Du family count?
What's more, now it seems that the relationship between Lu Chen and Li Shimin is still good. Lu Chen still has so many good things in his hands. The equipment of the Bei Weiwei alone has become the talk of the generals in Cefu. , Du Ruhui's ears were about to go numb when he heard it. Even people like Cheng Yaojin and Chai Shao were even more secretive about the things in Lu Chen's house. Du Ruhui knew that Lu Chen definitely had something better than Bei Wei Jia. It's just that the county official refused to take it out.
If His Royal Highness, King Qin, can get the help of the Chang'an County Duke, wouldn't it be a sure shot to take that position?
He had heard these days that the aristocratic families who had debts before had obediently sent their debts to Lujiazhuang after the banquet hosted by Lu Chen in Changyuan Building. However, Lu Chen received the money from the Zheng family. Of the five mines that were collected, Lu Chen only kept one, and the rest were all dedicated to the court, and even donated 10,000 acres of land.
Just borrow flowers and offer them to the Buddha." This made those aristocratic families so angry that they almost vomited blood, but they still tried to do anything to stop Lu Chen.
"Well! I will send someone to contact you later! How about it?" Lu Chen looked at Du Ruhui and asked with a smile.
"Of course it's okay!" Du Ruhui turned to look at Li Shimin. Li Shimin nodded slightly, and Du Ruhui responded directly.
"If there is nothing else, then I will resign?" Du Ruhui knew very well that Li Shimin and Lu Chen called him here probably because of the "business" matter that Lu Chen mentioned. The two latter people must have other things to say. Du Ruhui resigned consciously.
"Go! Remember to keep your mouth shut!" Li Shimin nodded at Du Ruhui. When Du Ruhui was about to leave, Li Shimin couldn't help but mention something.
"Of course I can save it!" Du Ruhui saluted Li Shimin and Lu Chen again, then turned and left the side hall.
"Keming is very smart!" Li Shimin looked at Du Ruhui's leaving figure and said to Lu Chen with a smile.
"This man looks like a prime minister!" Lu Chen picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then smiled and gave Li Shimin a "you know" look, "It's just a pity that his health never seems to be in good condition!" I saw just now When Du Ruhui was in bed, Lu Chen noticed that Du Ruhui's body was quite thin, and his face was not very healthy.
"Ke Ming's health has not been good!" Li Shimin nodded, but did not answer Du Ruhuiying's appearance as prime minister. Although Li Shimin knew that, Lu Chen was also aware of the Li family's plan, and could even be responsible for the current plan. Lu Chen also helped to make suggestions during the process, but after all, this is still the side hall of the Ce Mansion, so it is not appropriate to do more of this kind of thing.
"Then what is the purpose of Changyuan Tower? Can you tell me the truth?" Li Shimin looked directly at Lu Chen and asked with a smile. His expression looked somewhat "money obsessed" in Lu Chen's eyes.
"I didn't expect that His Highness the King of Qin, who has a great family and a great business, would also be so concerned about those Ah Duwu!" Lu Chen couldn't help but tease Li Shimin.
"It's okay not to care! I have a big business here, and the scenery is incomparable, but the money spent is like running water!" Li Shimin sighed, as if complaining.
Li Shimin's words are absolutely true. Just for the three thousand Xuanjia Army directly under Li Shimin, one person can eat horses and feed a lot of money and food. What about the troops under the jurisdiction of Ce Mansion? Although it is now a government military system, and those soldiers also farm their own food, with the increase in pig iron production, the manufacturing of armor and weapons has also increased. This is all overhead!
In addition, the expenses inside and outside the Cefu are not just a number. Sometimes, technology has developed, but productivity and the economy cannot keep up, which is also a pain.
"There are 10% of Prince Qin's elements here!" Lu Chen raised his index finger directly at Li Shimin and said with a smile.
Li Shimin immediately understood what Lu Chen meant. The business that Lu Chen wanted to discuss with the Du family was related to Liuli, because the only business that Li Shimin had a member of, and it was a business of one member, was that Lu Chen gave him of.
"You are..." Li Shimin did not go down here, but looked around and then outside the side hall door, "You are not going to hand over the glass business to the Du family, are you?" Li Shimin said with Looking at Lu Chen with disbelieving eyes, he asked softly.
"How is that possible!" Lu Chen shook his head directly, "I will definitely not let this business go out for the time being!" Lu Chen added. Lu Chen's words made it clear that he would not let out the Liuli business for the time being. , but it is expected to be released in the future.
In fact, this is a very simple thing. As time goes by, this glass business will definitely be studied out, and the glass will no longer be valuable by then. Lu Chen just wants to use this advanced technology to make a profit first. The first pot of gold comes again.
"That's good!" When Li Shimin heard Lu Chen say this, he nodded as if he was relieved.
"Actually, when I come to Ce Mansion this time, I have something else I want to discuss with His Highness!" Lu Chen said to Li Shimin with a smile.
"Is there any other business?" Li Shimin asked directly.
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Lu Chen smiled helplessly and thought to himself, why did Tang Taizong, who was known as a man of great talent and strategy, have such a tendency to be obsessed with money?
"I can't talk about business, I just want to borrow someone from His Highness!" Lu Chen said with a smile.
"Borrowing someone?" When Lu Chen said this, Li Shimin was stunned, and he didn't understand what Lu Chen meant.
"It is indeed a loan. I will need those people to gain momentum when the time comes!" Lu Chen said with a sly smile at Li Shimin.
"Okay! Come on! Who can I borrow it from?" Although Li Shimin didn't know what Lu Chen's "campaign" meant, he still simply agreed.
"Cheng Yaojin, Chai Shao and Yuchi Gong!" Lu Chen looked at Li Shimin and said seriously.
"Good guy, you just borrowed half of the king's palace!" Li Shimin said with a smile when he heard the three names in Lu Chen's mouth.
"Okay! I will let them go to your Lujiazhuang later!" Li Shimin continued happily.
"But we must not let them go to Lujiazhuang, or they will be exposed!" When Lu Chen heard that Li Shimin wanted those three people to go to Lujiazhuang, Lu Chen couldn't agree. If these three people went, he would create momentum. Won’t the plan fail? Moreover, those "customers" were not fools. After knowing what happened next, if they knew that these three people had been to Lujiazhuang, they would immediately let Lu Chen out.
"Then what should we do?" Li Shimin was a little confused by Lu Chen. Since he had borrowed someone from him and the three of them were not allowed to see him, Li Shimin really didn't understand what kind of medicine Lu Chen was selling in this gourd.
