"Talk?" After a while, the two stopped laughing. Li Xiaogong looked at Lu Chen and asked with a smile.
"Then let's talk! Isn't that why I'm here?" Lu Chen also looked at Li Xiaogong with a smile on his face.
"Then please come over here!" Li Xiaogong pointed to a room on the side.
"There aren't any traps in there, are there?" He said half-jokingly, looking at the dark room with no candles lit.
"Yes! I have prepared a beauty trap for Mr. Lu! Do you want Mr. Lu to jump into it?" Li Xiaogong said directly teasing Lu Chen.
"My lord, please don't harm me!" Lu Chen waved his hands repeatedly and said with a fearful expression. Of course, Lu Chen also knew that Li Xiaogong was joking, so Lu Chen naturally had to cooperate.
"Haha!" Seeing Lu Chen's frightened look, Li Xiaogong laughed again, "I didn't expect you, the 'street cleaning tiger', to be scared sometimes!" Li Xiaogong teased Lu Chen while leading Lu Chen to the room. In front of the house.
"I'm afraid my nickname of 'Street Cleaning Tiger' is well established!" Upon hearing that Li Xiaogong called him this nickname, Lu Chen sighed helplessly.
"It's not easy to create such a name in Chang'an City!" Li Xiaogong said with a smile.
At this time, guards had already entered the room first. After the candles in the room were lit up, Li Xiaogong took Lu Chen into the room.
The two were seated separately. After Li Fu brought tea to them, he voluntarily left the room. Li Fu also ordered the guards outside the room to retreat five feet away to prevent anyone from hearing the conversation between his prince and Lu Chen. .
"Mr. Lu, you already know why this king is like this?" At this time, Li Xiaogong's face still had the playful look before, but he looked at Lu Chen seriously.
"Of course it's clear, otherwise I wouldn't have visited the prince's mansion at night!" Lu Chen nodded and said with the same serious expression.
"What are you going to do about this?" Li Xiaogong looked at Lu Chen and asked again seriously.
"What does the prince mean?" Lu Chen did not answer Li Xiaogong's question, but asked directly.
"Of course I want to cooperate with Duke Lu, but if there is no bait, I'm afraid those aristocratic families will not be fooled again!" Li Xiaogong looked at Lu Chen and expressed his worries directly.
"Of course you need bait when fishing, but if you want these aristocratic families to take the bait again, I'm afraid ordinary bait won't work!" Lu Chen touched his chin and thought about it. Lu Chen did grow a beard for a while, but Lu Chen always felt uncomfortable. It felt comfortable, so I shaved it again.
Suddenly, Lu Chen saw the iron stove on the side. The spout of the copper pot on the iron stove had begun to slowly emit steam. This iron stove had been rekindled by Li Fu after serving tea.
"How about this?" Lu Chen's eyes lit up when he saw the iron stove, he pointed at the iron stove and said.
"This?" When he saw Lu Chen pointing at the iron stove, Li Xiaogong was slightly startled. If you want to say what sells best in today's prosperous times, it is this iron stove. Ordinary people can buy furniture and other things. There must be some, but compared with something that can keep you warm in the winter, the sales volume is naturally not comparable.
"Are you really willing to give up?" Li Xiaogong looked at Lu Chen in disbelief.
"Why are you reluctant to give up?" Lu Chen said with a smile, because Lu Chen had already thought of a replacement for the iron stove, and this thing wouldn't be sold for long. In another month, spring will basically start. By then, Who would buy this thing? As for this winter, Lu Chen doesn't plan to sell this kind of thing.
"This is a business that makes a lot of money every day! Why do those aristocratic families covet the prosperous world so much? Isn't it because of your business?" Li Xiaogong looked at Lu Chen and said.
"So what?" After hearing Li Xiaogong's words, Lu Chen naturally knew that Li Xiaogong said this from his own standpoint, but Lu Chen had already thought of a substitute. As for the iron stove, it was no longer important, "Diao Da The fish will naturally need to be heavily baited! Besides, how long can this kind of heating thing be sold?" Lu Chen looked at Li Xiaogong and asked.
"With the weather like this, we can still sell it for at least more than a month!" Li Xiaogong glanced at the direction of the door of the house and thought for a moment before answering Lu Chen's question, "But there is winter every year. Will it be possible in the future? Aren't you going to do this business anymore?" Li Xiaogong looked at Lu Chen and asked.
"What would the prince think if I told the prince that this thing was just a temporary thing for me to use for winter?" Lu Chen looked at Li Xiaogong and asked with a smile.
"Such a good heating thing is for temporary use? I don't believe what you say!" Li Xiaogong shook his head directly. Li Xiaogong knew very well how effective this iron stove was for heating. After all, he himself was also in the prosperous age. A lot of these things were purchased and basically installed in all the rooms in the palace.
"I did come up with it on the spur of the moment, because I have a better way to keep warm than this one, but I was in a hurry and didn't have time to make it. As for next year! I'm afraid those aristocratic families will cry holding this thing!" Lu Chen He said with a smile, but Lu Chen did not explain to Li Xiaogong what kind of thing could replace this iron stove.
Seeing Lu Chen's words so confidently, Li Xiaogong could only say with suspicion: "If Mr. Lu is so confident, then I won't say anything more!" Li Xiaogong also knew that Lu Chen had obviously made up his mind. It is useless to try to persuade you.
"My lord, actually, even if we give these blueprints to those aristocratic families now, how many days can they earn? Or ten days?" Lu Chen said to Li Xiaogong with a smile.
Lu Chen's words obviously reminded Li Xiaogong that he just thought that in the "prosperous age", this thing was a daily business, but from manufacturing to selling it in the store, as well as the decoration of the store, that's all. It will take time. By the time these people's iron stoves are actually put on the market, winter will be almost over.
"I didn't expect Mr. Lu to have planned all this!" Li Xiaogong looked at Lu Chen and thought to himself. The more he looked at him, the more he felt that he couldn't see through the guy opposite him.
"I didn't think of this! Duke Lu has seen clearly!" Li Xiaogong directly praised Lu Chen.
"What did the prince say? It's just that the prince is not familiar with these things!" Lu Chen directly complimented Li Xiaogong.
"Of course, we can't just give them this design drawing! Naturally, the prince will drag it out for a while. This is called 'asking for high prices', waiting for them to 'pay back the money'. When the time comes, we will make five additions to each other..." .Hehe!" Lu Chen leaned directly close to Li Xiaogong and said with a smirk on his face.
"However, if you give this design to me, how will you explain it to the princes?" Li Xiaogong reminded Lu Chen.
"Since we are going to do a show, of course we have to do a full set! There is no need for the prince to worry about the Duke's affairs. I have a way!" Lu Chen chuckled and let it go.
Li Xiaogong nodded and did not continue to ask. Sometimes a plan only needs one person to control the overall situation. You just need to play your role well in this plan. Knowing too much about some things is not a good thing. What's more, of course, the less you know about this kind of thing, the more realistic the acting will be.
Those aristocratic families are not fools. If you know more, you may reveal flaws. If those aristocratic families feel that something is wrong, they will never put their heads out to receive this knife.
Now that this matter has been settled, Lu Chen has to talk to Li Xiaogong about another matter.
"Does the prince want to go to Lingnan for the Chinese New Year?" Lu Chen looked at Li Xiaogong and asked.
"Huh?" Hearing Lu Chen's question, Li Xiaogong couldn't help but be slightly startled. Even Li Fu didn't know that he was going to Lingnan. This happened when he went to see Li Yuan a few days ago, and Li Yuan told him After mentioning this matter, Li Yuan had not yet decided when to set off, so the matter was not announced to the outside world. Li Xiaogong didn't know where Lu Chen knew about it, so he looked at Lu Chen in confusion and asked: " How did Duke Lu know about this matter?"
"Oh! I heard about it from Lord Su Guo!" Seeing the way Li Xiaogong looked at him, Lu Chen said with a smile.
"Oh! That's it!" After hearing Lu Chen's explanation, Li Daozong nodded. However, Li Xiaogong was a bit complaining about Cheng Yaojin, who kept talking about everything, and it was still something that was not really confirmed.
Of course, Li Xiaogong also knew that Lu Chen would know about this sooner or later. Now that he knew it, it didn't matter. But Li Xiaogong didn't understand why Lu Chen suddenly mentioned his trip to Lingnan, so he still looked at Lu Chen with a trace of doubt. .
"Didn't Mr. Lu have no intention of going to court? Why do you still care about this kind of thing?" Li Xiaogong looked at Lu Chen and asked in confusion.
"I really don't care about the fighting in the court, but I am still a little concerned about this kind of national event! Moreover, when I was traveling down the river, I still know a little about Lingnan!" Lu Chen looked at Li Xiaogong and said with a smile, "What's more, I , I still have something to ask of the prince!"
"Oh? I don't know why Mr. Lu has asked me for help. If I can do it, I will naturally try my best to help. But if Mr. Lu's affairs endanger the Tang Dynasty, then there is nothing I can do!" When Lu Chen said that he had something to do, Li Xiaogong expressed his position directly and seriously.
"If the prince can accomplish this matter, I believe that the prince can achieve a feat no less than the pacification of Lingnan!" Lu Chen nodded and looked at Li Xiaogong with a smile.
"Oh? Mr. Lu County is willing to give up such a great achievement like this?" Li Xiaogong was even more confused by Lu Chen's words, and looked at Lu Chen and asked suspiciously.
