As for what Xiao Kai would become, Lu Chen didn't care. When he came to the door of the "Shengshi" small building, Lu Chen got off his horse and walked into the small building.
There was a commotion just now, and the clerk from Shengshi had already reported it to the big shopkeeper Qian Junnan.
Lu Chen stepped into the door of "Prosperity", Qian Junnan was already waiting here respectfully.
"Master, you are here!" Qian Junnan stepped forward and saluted Lu Chen.
"You're quite smart!" Lu Chen looked at Qian Junnan and teased him with a smile, "I brought you some good things today. I'll keep them with you first. I'll collect the shop later and bring it back. I'll use it!" Lu Chen took a step forward. He walked into the "meeting room", sat down on the chair, looked at Qian Junnan and said.
"I wonder what my uncle is going to sell this time?" The thing that Lu Chen brought here must be what Lu Chen wants to sell, Qian Junnan rubbed his hands in excitement and asked.
After all, the things Lu Chen wants to sell are definitely one-of-a-kind things. What does this mean? It means money! Although the Iron Stove Shop was "given away" by Lu Chen, the sales of other shops in the "Shengshi" on that day are now calculated as "Wan Guan".
Seeing Qian Junnan's somewhat eager look, Lu Chen smiled and then waved directly at Liu Jing. Liu Jing nodded and ran out of the conference room. Without much effort, he walked away with a deerskin bag. He came in and placed it on the table in the conference room.
"Open it and take a look!" Lu Chen pointed to the deerskin pocket on the table and motioned to Qian Junnan, who looked confused, to open it for himself.
"Ah? Oh!" When Lu Chen said this, Qian Junnan looked confused. Then he walked to the table, reached out and touched the deerskin pocket first, and found that it was soft. Qian Junnan's first feeling was this The deerskin bag should be filled with something like flour, but if you feel it carefully, it is not as fine as flour. Then you stand the deerskin bag up and carefully open the mouth of the bag.
What caught Qian Junnan's eyes was a bag of white crystal powder. Qian Junnan's first reaction to this white crystal was salt, but Qian Junnan himself didn't quite believe in his own judgment. After all, the best powder now is The salt also has a hint of light yellow. If there is salt in the bag, the salt is too pure.
"Master, could it be that this is salt?" But Qian Junnan couldn't think of anything else similar to this. Qian Junnan turned to look at Lu Chen and asked in a low voice with a speculative tone.
"Won't you know after you try it?" Lu Chenxiao looked at Qian Junnan secretly and said.
Qian Junnan dipped a little with his finger, and then licked his finger with his tongue. The salty taste directly hit Qian Junnan's taste buds. This kind of salty is a relatively pure salty, not like those fine salts on the market. Bitter taste.
"Master, do you plan to sell this salt?" Qian Junnan picked up the tea cup, drank a few sips of tea, cleared his mouth, then looked at Lu Chen and asked in a low voice.
"Not bad!" Lu Chen nodded, "I own this kind of salt, and I plan to sell it for twenty yuan a pound!" Lu Chen looked at Qian Junnan and said.
"Twenty cents?!" Qian Junnan was immediately shocked when he heard the price given by Lu Chen, "Master, as far as I know, the best fine salt on the market is thirty-five cents per pound. You This salt is many times better than that fine salt. From a villain's point of view, even if this salt costs fifty cents per catty, there is no need to worry about selling it!" Qian Junnan directly advised Lu Chen.
"No! My father's refined salt is only twenty cents per catty. If the price is too high, the people will not be able to afford it!" Lu Chen shook his head directly, "Moreover, this matter will not be brought to the attention of the prince and those princes. Participated!" Lu Chen said to Qian Junnan.
"Master, why is this?" Qian Junnan looked at Lu Chen in surprise and asked. You must know that this salt is a hugely profitable industry, especially the "refined salt" that Lu Chen is bringing out now. You can say it bluntly, As soon as it goes on sale, with this appearance, there will definitely be a rush. What’s more, this thing is different from other things. It is a necessity of life, not to mention the price of 20 cents per pound. Even though the price is not high, the sales volume is absolutely bottomless. general existence.
Now that he has sold this "refined salt", and Lu Chen doesn't want to "share dividends" with the prince and other father-in-laws, this matter makes Qian Junnan a little confused. When the time comes, those people will not make trouble because of this matter again. Get up, so Qian Junnan still wanted to ask Lu Chen the reason.
"Salt and iron are actually the foundation of the country and people's livelihood!" Lu Chen was not surprised by Qian Junnan's inquiry. "They should never be in the hands of aristocratic families or individuals, including me." It's all the same. When the time comes, our guild will hand over all salt and iron to the state!" Lu Chen looked at Qian Junnan and said seriously.
"I understand! I'll make arrangements for the store as soon as possible!" Lu Chen just said this. Qian Junnan immediately understood his father-in-law's thoughts and was impressed by his father-in-law's arrangement.
"Yes! Get ready!" Lu Chen nodded, then stood up and left the conference room with Liu Jing, leaving the prosperous age and heading straight to the imperial city.
"My lord, who are you?" When Lu Chen came to the gate of the imperial city, the commander of the imperial army who was responsible for guarding the city gate hurriedly stepped forward to salute Lu Chen, then looked at the things on the horse and asked curiously.
"I'm here to see Your Majesty, and I hope you can report it on your behalf!" Lu Chen said, looking at the commander of the Imperial Army.
"Uh..." The commander of the Forbidden Army pondered for a moment, "Please wait a moment, Mr. Lu. The general will send someone in to inform you. As for whether His Majesty will see you, the general is not sure!" The commander of the Forbidden Army rushed towards Lu Chen. He said with his hands raised.
"Thank you, Commander!" Lu Chen nodded.
"Your Majesty, Duke Lu is asking for an audience outside the imperial city!" Li Yuan, who was reviewing memorials, saw the young chamberlain standing at the door. After Chang Bao walked over and asked, Chang Bao saluted Li Yuan and said.
"Why did this kid come here at this time!" Li Yuan put down the memorial in his hand and muttered to himself. Those gifts of acceptance almost caused a fire in Li Yuan's harem. Now Li Yanjun's Langya Palace is in the harem. Concubine Wan Gui naturally left the contents of the other car unceremoniously in her Yiqiu Palace.
Concubine Yin De, who was very favored by this matter, was very dissatisfied. She complained a lot in front of Li Yuan last night and even said a lot of petty things about Lu Chen.
Li Yuan was hiding in the Manlu Palace today, reading and reviewing excerpts, just to hide from those people. As for asking Lu Chen for some more things to calm down the grievances in the harem, Li Yuan was thinking about it in his heart. Unexpectedly, at this time, Lu Chen actually came to the palace. .
