"Actually, what I just said are just some of my foolish brother's thoughts!" After the toast, Lu Chen sat back and said, "Those things are still very far away. Before going outside, you must first settle down inside. Now in the Tang Dynasty, , there is no stability outside of Chang'an, so why talk about other things?" Lu Chen said with a smile.

Lu Chen's words directly touched the hearts of everyone. These people knew very well what the current situation of the Tang Dynasty was. There were Turks outside and there was instability internally. Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were now at the same level, but now they They are all fledgling, and Li Yuan can still suppress them, so it seems that Chang'an City is quite stable. However, ordinary people may not know these things, and none of these people here don't know.

Hearing Lu Chen's sigh, these people didn't know what to do and could only eat the food in silence.

"This is all off topic, let's not talk about government affairs today!" Lu Chen also knew that now is not the time for this, so he smiled and said, "Let's just stick to the 'Shengshi Group'!"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, everyone felt relieved, and then they looked up at Lu Chen.

"You can clean up these shops as soon as possible. When the time comes, Brother Yu will ask those in the workshop area to start delivering goods to the stores, and the prices will also be determined by the people below. If you think the shopkeepers are trustworthy, , of course they can keep them, but when the time comes, I will let them come to Zhuangzi for training and study! What do you think?" Lu Chen looked at everyone and said.

"Just do everything according to Brother Xian's wishes! In this regard, all of us together may not be as good as Brother Xian alone. We can just sit back and enjoy the success!" Qin Qiong looked around at the crowd and said with a smile.

"That's right, Brother Lu is the one to blame for this!" Li Daozong also looked at Lu Chen and said.

"Okay! I guarantee that everyone will make a lot of money!" Lu Chen said with a smile.

After everyone chatted about some things, Lu Chen also asked these people about the materials. After all, given Lu Chen's ability, it would be very difficult to spread the stall. What's more, when it comes to finding materials, these There are many more tricks than Lu Chen.

Regarding the matter of materials, everyone was naturally in agreement. After all, this was a matter related to their pockets. How could they not care about it? They all said that they would arrange for someone to do the things they discussed at noon when they returned home.

After everyone said goodbye and left, Lu Chen was not idle. He took Liu Jing and Feng Huai directly to the Duke Ying's mansion of the Minister of Industry, Warrior Xun.

Since the stall is about to be opened, it is natural to increase productivity. Lu Chen has to say hello to the warrior Yun in advance. As the stall expands, the demand for craftsmen will naturally increase. Judging from the current number of craftsmen in Lujiazhuang, they can still cope with it in a short time. , if it develops later, it will definitely not be enough.

Lu Chen took Liu Jing and Feng Huai directly to the door of Duke Ying's Mansion. The man in front of the door didn't know Lu Chen, but seeing that Lu Chen was dressed quite luxuriously, he still asked politely: "I don't know what this husband is?" Why are you stopping here?" Yan Ren saluted Lu Chen and asked. At the same time, he glanced at Liu Jing and Feng Huai who were standing next to Lu Chen. Feng Huai was holding a wooden box in his arms. In Yan Rao's heart, he felt that Lu Chen should be I came here to ask my lord for help.

"I, the Duke of Chang'an County, came to visit Wu Shangshu, please let me know on my behalf!" Lu Chen took out his name card from his arms and handed it to Yan Ren who was standing in front of him.

Hearing Lu Chen announce his family name, Yan Ren was immediately excited. The name "Chang'an County Duke" is now known to everyone in Chang'an City, especially the "miracle" last night. It came from the direction of Lujiazhuang, so Yan Ren quickly took Lu Chen's name card with both hands respectfully, and said respectfully to Lu Chen: "Please wait a moment, sir!" After that, he ran directly to the house to report.

Today is a day off, and the warrior Yu is sitting in the study drinking tea and reading.

"Sir!" Just when the warrior Yu was picking up the tea cup and preparing to drink tea, the door of the study room was knocked by the butler, and at the same time he heard the butler's low voice.

"Come in!" Samurai Yu put down the books in his hands and turned to look at the housekeeper who opened the door and walked into the study.

"What's the matter?" Warrior Yu looked at the housekeeper and asked.

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Chang'an County is asking for an audience outside the mansion!" The housekeeper saluted the warrior Xun, and at the same time presented Lu Chen's name card to the warrior Xun with both hands.

When he heard that Lu Chen was asking for an audience outside his house, Warrior Yu was stunned. Now there were many people in the court who wanted to have a good relationship with Lu Chen, but there were even more who were as afraid of Lu Chen as a snake and a scorpion, but Warrior Yu was obviously He was a neutral person. Warrior Xun always believed that nothing good would happen if he was involved with Lu Chen.

Now Lu Chen actually ran to the door of his house and begged to see him. This made the warrior Yun feel "thumped" in his heart. Who knows whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for Mr. Lu to come to him this time? What would this guy do if he drags him? Damn it, what can you do?

"Sir!?" The housekeeper, who had been keeping the submission status, saw that his master had no intention of accepting the post in his hand, so he quickly called out softly.

"Oh!" The warrior Yu, whose mind was spinning, was brought back to his senses by the butler's call. Then he reached out and took Lu Chen's name card that the butler presented to him. After taking a look, he confirmed that it was Lu Chen's name card. After that, he stood up with the help of the housekeeper and said, "Follow me to have a look!"

Although Samurai Yu was very concise, the housekeeper could still hear the helplessness in Samurai Yu's words.

"The Duke of Lu County is here. I'm sorry for not being able to welcome him from afar. I'm so sorry!" Warrior Xun, who walked out of the corner door, saw Lu Chen handing over his hand and apologizing, with a kind smile on his face.

"It's my fault for taking the liberty of disturbing Wu Shangshu. I hope Wu Shangshu will forgive me!" Lu Chen also said with a smile as he cupped his hands at the warrior Xun.

"This is not the place to speak. How about Mr. Lu County entering the mansion to speak?" Warrior Yu looked at Lu Chen and said.

"Then I'm sorry!" Lu Chen smiled at Warrior Xun again, and then followed Warrior Xun into Duke Ying's mansion.

When they came to the front hall, Warrior Yu and Lu Chen were seated as guest and host respectively. After a maid served tea, Warrior Yu looked directly at Lu Chen and asked, "I wonder why Mr. Lu came to see me?"

"I'm here this time for craftsman work!" Lu Chen said to the warrior Xun.

"What about the craftsmen?" After hearing Lu Chen's words, Warrior Yu couldn't help but frown slightly, "Could it be that those craftsmen made trouble in Lujiazhuang? I didn't hear about this!" Warrior Yu said, stroking his beard and thinking for a moment.

"No! Wu Shangshu misunderstood!" Lu Chen waved his hand and said with a smile, "I came here this time because I want to ask Wu Shangshu for more craftsmen!"

"What? The one hundred craftsmen are not enough?" Hearing Lu Chen's words, the warrior Yu couldn't help but widened his eyes and looked at Lu Chen and asked. After all, the one hundred craftsmen were not a number. Lu Chen wanted so many at the beginning. When working as craftsmen, Warrior Yun was afraid that Lu Chen wouldn't be able to use so many craftsmen. Just now, Lu Chen actually disliked that even a hundred craftsmen were not enough. Warrior Yun even doubted what Lu Chen was going to do in Lujiazhuang at this time. So many craftsmen are needed.

"Yes! I am planning to expand the scale of production during this period, so there may not be enough craftsmen, but I am not asking for it immediately, but I want to say hello to Wu Shangshu in advance!" Lu Chen rushed directly to the hall to recruit After waving, Liu Jing stabbed Feng Huai directly, and then Feng Huai walked into the front hall holding the wooden box and placed the wooden box on Lin.

"It's our first visit. The gift is not a sign of respect. I hope Wu Shangshu won't refuse!" Lu Chen waved to Feng Huai again. Feng Huai opened the wooden box directly, and a stream of fragrance spread directly into the front hall.

Warrior Xun could naturally smell what kind of fragrance it was. He had also smelled a similar fragrance from Li Yuan. It was the smell of the tea that Li Yuan drank.

There are two bags inside the wooden box, and the fragrance wafts out from those bags.

Lu Chen pushed the wooden box directly in front of Samurai Yu and looked at Samurai Yu with a smile.

Warrior Yu really didn't want to agree to Lu Chen's matter. After all, Lu Chen came to him directly without reporting the matter to Li Yuan. If Li Yuan found out about this matter, Li Yuan would inevitably blame himself. He just looked at the tea leaves and smelled it. The aroma of tea really made Samurai Yu not want to let go.

"Mr. Lu County, I don't dare to be expert in this matter. I'm afraid I need to report it to Your Majesty for His Majesty's approval!" Warrior Xun said to Lu Chen with a serious face.

"That's natural!" Lu Chen nodded simply, "Actually, I can directly meet the Holy Master, but I really don't want to trouble His Majesty and His Majesty with this matter, so I went directly to Wu Shangshu!" Chen looked at the warrior Yu and smiled.

"His old man" Hearing Lu Chen's address to Li Yuan, the warrior Yu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly. I'm afraid that within and outside the court, Lu Chen, the "bold" guy, dared to call the current emperor this way.

"Just understand, Mr. Lu! Then this gift..." Warrior Xun looked at the wooden box with some reluctance.

"Wu Shangshu, this gift is not a bribe! It is a greeting gift for the late students to meet their seniors! It has nothing to do with craftsmen!" Lu Chen naturally heard the meaning of Warrior Xun's words, and at the same time he also saw the reluctance in Warrior Xun's eyes. He smiled directly.

"If that's the case, then I'm just greedy for ink!" When the warrior Yu heard Lu Chen's words, he was in a good mood for a moment, stroking his beard and said with a smile.

At this time, the warrior Yun was even confused. Lu Chen could handle himself appropriately and observe etiquette in front of him. How much of the "arrogant and domineering" thing about Lu Chen that was widely spread by those people was true and how much was false? Or is there someone who wants to discredit Lu Chen?
