During the banquet that day, Lu Chen naturally mentioned that he wanted to see what the so-called "chariots" like a chariot, a wooden curtain, and a crash car looked like. Several of the gentlemen directly patted their chests and promised that when would Lu Chen want to see it? , you can go to the military camp to see him at any time.
The military exercises that have lasted for many days have ended. Besides, these gentlemen are also in important positions. It is already good to be able to help Lu Chen train troops for so many days. Lu Chen was sitting in the front hall after breakfast today. While drinking tea and thinking about what to do today, Su Chang came to Lu Chen and reported that Qian Junnan was here.
"Greetings, sir!" Qian Junnan, led by Su Chang, came to the front hall, greeted Lu Chen and stood opposite Lu Chen.
"Shopkeeper Qian, I haven't seen you for a long time. It seems that you have gained weight again?" Lu Chen looked at Qian Junnan standing in front of him. His face was visibly thicker. Lu Chen said with a semi-ridiculous smile.
"Thanks to my father-in-law, I eat well and sleep well, so I naturally gained some weight!" Qian Junnan replied with a smile. Although his face was smiling, there was still a trace of sadness in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
"Are you just a big-hearted person?" Lu Chen put the teacup in his hand on the coffee table and looked at Qian Junnan with a smile, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Upon hearing Lu Chen's question, Qian Junnan glanced around.
"Sit down and talk!" Lu Chen directly pointed to the chair beside him and motioned for Qian Junnan to sit down and talk.
After Qian Junnan saluted Lu Chen, he sat half-assed on the chair. Seeing Lu Chen, he said cautiously: "Master, there have been a lot of troublemakers in various shops in Shengshi recently, especially the iron stove shop. Not only The business has dropped a lot, and this shop is the one that causes the most trouble!" As Qian Junnan said this, he peeked at Lu Chen's expression. After all, he is now the boss of the prosperous age. Something went wrong with the business. I will be the first to hold him accountable.
Seeing that Lu Chen seemed not to have heard anything and still looked as usual, Qian Junnan's heart suddenly rose. Whether Lu Chen was angry or furious, he could accept it. Only Lu Chen was so calm. Qian Junnan couldn't figure out what Lu Chen was thinking.
"Are those people under the banner of Prince Zhao?" Lu Chen looked at Qian Junnan and asked with a smile.
"Master, you...you know everything?" Qian Junnan looked at Lu Chen in surprise. As far as Qian Junnan knew, Lu Chen had not shown up in Chang'an City recently, except during the great dynasty. Chen had appeared in Chang'an City, and people recently said that Lu Chen had been staying in Lujiazhuang doing his military exercises!
Now Lu Chen suddenly revealed the identity of the person who was looking for trouble, which made Qian Junnan feel uneasy for a while, because this showed that although Lu Chen was in Lujiazhuang, he was not interested in every move in Chang'an City. He knew very well that Qian Junnan would never have imagined that this was a "collusion" between Lu Chen and Li Xiaogong.
When Qian Junnan found out who came to cause trouble in the prosperous age, it took a lot of effort with the help of Luo Life. Obviously, his father-in-law's channels were much better than those of himself and Luo Life. Then I will have to do my best to do my job in the future.
"As for how I know, you don't have to speculate! Just do your job! Later, give me the deed of the iron stove shop!" Lu Chen said to Qian Junnan.
"Deed?" Qian Junnan looked at Lu Chen with some confusion, "Master, do you want to..." Qian Junnan thought of one thing as soon as his mind moved a little, that is, "putting things to rest". Of course, this This was also a method that Qian Junnan often used when he was in charge of Rongchang Pawn Shop alone. But what Qian Junnan couldn't figure out was why his father-in-law, who always showed himself to be "strong", would do this to "calm down the trouble". What about attitude?
"I plan to give this iron stove shop to Prince Zhao!" Lu Chen admitted without hesitation.
"Master, that iron stove shop is now the most profitable business in the prosperous times, you..." When hearing Lu Chen's words really confirmed what he was thinking, Qian Junnan couldn't help but said with excitement.
"Fat man, it is indeed the most profitable now, but what if winter has passed?" Lu Chen picked up the tea cup and took a sip, looking at Qian Junnan and asked with a smile.
"This..." After Lu Chen said this, Qian Junnan also thought about it. Now the iron stove shop is making money because it is winter, and this thing is a novel thing, and it can be heated with cheap charcoal, so the profit Compared with other businesses, it is the most profitable, but when the weather warms up, will the demand for this iron stove be as high as it is now?
"Besides! Since I can make an iron stove, can't I make a replacement? What's more, the shop is sold to them, doesn't the manufacturing method still belong to me?" Lu Chen reminded him again with one sentence Qian Junnan.
"It's the father-in-law who thinks too far, but the villain who thinks too one-sidedly!" Qian Junnan hurriedly rushed to Lu Chen to apologize.
"Business channels are important, but what can we do if there is no source of goods?" Lu Chen put down his tea cup and looked at Qian Junnan and said with a smile, "So, when doing business, you must not only have channels, but also sources of goods. When both sources of goods and channels are When it's in your own hands, that's the real deal. The next best thing is to have the source of the goods in your hands!" Lu Chen made a fist gesture towards Qian Junnan, who had a taught expression on his face. nodded.
In fact, in later generations, there has never been a clear statement about whether the source of goods is more important or not. However, in this era, Lu Chen can say without hesitation that the source of goods is more important than channels, because the things he creates are all There is something that the times do not have, "uniqueness" is the guarantee of financial resources. As for "channels", I'm sorry, Lu Chen has the ability to create a brand new one.
Because of this, Lu Chen dared to say this.
"Okay, you don't need to get involved in this matter, just do your job, and I will handle the rest! As for whether you need to step forward later, just wait for my instructions!" Lu Chen looked at Qian Junnan and said.
"Yes!" Qian Junnan stood up, bowed to Lu Chen, and then left Lujiazhuang.
In the afternoon, Qian Junnan sent over the deed to the iron stove shop. Lu Chen briefly looked at it, confirmed it, and put it away.
As soon as Qian Junnan left Lujiazhuang, Lu Chen led others directly out of Lujiazhuang and went straight to the Zhaojun Prince's Mansion in Chang'an City.
After seeing Lu Chen riding a white fox and leading people into Chang'an City, especially when they arrived in front of the Prince Zhao's Mansion, many informants from aristocratic families sent people back to report to their lords. After all, Prince Zhao has been there recently. The trouble for Shengshi was spread throughout Chang'an City.
Now that Lu Chen and his people have appeared at the Zhaojun Prince's Mansion, many people are speculating whether this "street cleaning tiger" will also come to Zhaojun Prince Li Xiaogong just like he destroyed the Zheng family's house last time. .
There are those who just watch the show, and there are those who belong to Xiao Yu's family who "fanned the flames" for this matter, but now these people all look expectant, wanting to know how Lu Chen will deal with these recent actions of Li Xiaogong. If Lu Chen really wanted to deal with Li Xiaogong like he dealt with Zheng Shanguo, that would be what these aristocratic families expected most.
When the time comes, not only will Lu Chen's Li family learn about Lu Chen's "arrogance and domineering" from this incident, which will make Lu Chen fall out of favor in front of Li Yuan, but at the same time, the aristocratic family will not give Lu Chen a good look. When the time comes, Lu Chen will You will become a rat in the bellows--both sides will suffer.
As a result, under the expectant eyes of these people, Liu Jing went up and clicked the bronze animal head ring on the door of Prince Zhao's Mansion.
Accompanied by the sound of the copper ring slapping the door, Yan Ren opened the corner door and walked out, "Who is knocking on the door of the palace?" Yan Ren looked at Liu Jing and asked disdainfully with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.
"The Duke of Chang'an County has come to pay a visit to Prince Zhao!" Liu Jing came to Yan Ren, took out the greeting card from his arms, presented it to Yan Ren with both hands, and said with a smile.
"Mr. Chang'an?!" Yanren took the greeting card from Liu Jing's hand, glanced at it, looked Liu Jing up and down, and at the same time turned to look at Lu Chen, who was standing next to the white fox at the front steps, and nodded. Yan Ren nodded and said, "Wait!" He said this and walked directly into the corner door.
With little effort, footsteps sounded from behind the gate of the palace. As the corner door opened, housekeeper Li Fu and others walked out of the corner door. With a smile on his face, he bowed to Lu Chen and saluted: "Thank you, Mr. Lu County, for waiting for a long time. My prince is already here." Wait for me in the front hall! Master, please come inside!"
"Thank you!" Lu Chen nodded at Li Fu and led Liu Jing and Feng Huai directly into the Prince Zhao's Mansion behind Li Fu.
"What's the meaning?"
"Shouldn't we have a quarrel?"
Seeing the two sides being so harmonious, the people waiting to watch the fun were a little unbelievable. Of course, this was the thought of those who were waiting to watch the fun. As for those from the aristocratic families, they frowned slightly, and there was an uneasy feeling in their hearts. Come out, because Lu Chen's operation is a little different from what they thought.
"The Duke of County Lu is here, and this prince's mansion is in full bloom!" Seeing Lu Chen led by Li Fu to the steps of the front hall, Li Xiaogong greeted him directly from the front hall and looked at Lu Chen with a smile. Chen said.
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. I haven't seen you for a long time. Your Majesty is still in good shape!" Lu Chen smiled at Li Xiaogong and cupped his hands. Both of them saw a look of "tacit understanding" in each other's eyes.
"Thanks to you, I have a strong body!" Li Xiaogong laughed loudly and let Lu Chen into the front hall.
The two of them were seated separately. After Li Fu led others to serve tea, everyone left the front hall. Only Li Xiaogong and Lu Chen were talking in the front hall. Even the guards in front of the door were standing in the front hall. Guard under the steps.
