Marquis Zhongcheng was favored by others and took care of Shen Ao. After more than ten years, he regarded Shen Ao as his own son. How could he allow others to hurt him? Don't say that the one who came was King Xiang, the Golden Armor Guard, Shen Yun Yi also dares to fight. The former general who led the army, and now the Marquis Zhongcheng, can't even protect his own family. It's okay to give up these identities.
As a military commander, what you pay attention to is being upright and upright. After saying these words, King Xiang choked and opened his mouth several times, but he didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only get off the carriage and hate it under the protection of a group of guards. Hate to leave.
Without glancing behind him, Marquis Zhongcheng ran quickly to the front of Guochanglong's general store. He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he finally saw Shen Ao safe and sound. Only then did he notice the crowd of people in his eyes. Jin Jiawei, the eldest princess, Yan Fu and others.
He dismounted and casually threw the reins into the hands of Feng Xun, who was coming over. Shen Yunyi strode up to Shen Ao, looked up and down, and asked with concern, "No one is going to make things difficult for you, right?"
"My uncle is a righteous man. No one will make things difficult for my nephew. But what my uncle did just now, I'm afraid..." Shen Ao saw Shen Yunyi's performance just now and was very excited. With an uncle like this, why should he be afraid of others coming to him? It's my own trouble.
"It doesn't matter." Shen Yunyi chuckled, "The emperor just fined me half a year's salary. This is not the first time such a thing has happened."
In a good mood, Shen Yunyi spoke out what was on his mind.
"Cough, cough." This caused Yan Fu to cough lightly. It probably meant to remind Shen Yunyi that although the emperor values you very much and even has taboos about you, you can't say these words in public, right? Doesn’t it make King Xiang lose face?
"Marquis Zhongcheng has met Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, Eunuch Yan." Shen Yunyi also laughed, showing a simple and honest look, as if he had no scheming at all, and seemed to be very honest. But he had just seen how angry he was. , no matter what he does at this time, who dares to underestimate him?
When Marquis Zhongcheng arrived, Yan Fu knew that Shen Ao's safety was guaranteed. He immediately clasped his fists and said, "Even if Marquis Zhongcheng comes, I'm sure there won't be any blind Xiaoxiao looking for trouble, so our family will return to the palace." Returned to life."
"Thank you Eunuch Yan for your help." Shen Aohui came very unexpectedly. Although he knew that Yan Fu would appear here, it was actually the emperor's intention. Even the eldest princess could not control the eunuch chief steward and the hundreds of golden armored guards, but he should Thank you is still necessary. "Shi Lei, bring two hundred bags of iodized salt and give them to the warriors of the Golden Armor Guard."
The value of a 100-gram bag of iodized salt is twenty taels. It is still expensive but not marketable. If one person gives two bags, it is forty taels. The actual value has reached a hundred taels, which is considered a waste of money. But if it is a gift, Jin Jiawei will definitely not charge one hundred taels of silver, because the amount is too large, but giving iodized salt is another matter, and whether this thing is sold, eaten by oneself, or given to others, it is an excellent thing. The Golden Armored Guards also liked him and couldn't refuse.
Yan Fu's trip would not be in vain. Shen Ao personally presented him with a hundred taels of gold. The benefits of a thousand taels of silver could be said to be too much or too little, at least in Yan Fu's eyes. Yan Fu was embarrassed at first, and then he put the hundred taels of gold into his robe. However, his walking was not affected at all. Shen Ao was sure that this must be a man of skill, but he just didn't He knows who is stronger and who is weaker than his uncle in Kung Fu.
Yan Fu left happily with eighty golden-armored guards, and left twenty golden-armored guards to guard the place to shock Xiaoxiao. This is the power of giving benefits. Everyone came and took them without doing anything. These benefits made me feel guilty, and leaving twenty golden armored guards was tantamount to releasing goodwill.
The eldest princess also left quickly. She was very angry at King Xiang's attitude towards her today. She wanted to go back and think carefully about how to make King Xiang suffer and let the world understand that she, the eldest princess of a female generation, was Not to be bullied.
There was no one else around, Shen Ao smiled and invited his uncle into the inner courtyard, and then asked with interest, "Uncle, who has better kung fu, you or Eunuch Yan?"
"Uh!" Shen Yunyi, who had never shown the slightest fear during the killing array, turned red at this moment and said in a low voice, "I'm not as good as Yan Fu."
"What? Is he so powerful?" This result was completely unexpected to Shen Ao. He originally thought that his uncle had been in battles for a long time and had led troops many times, so his real kung fu must be very powerful. He just cleaned up King Xiang's whip The method is so fierce that people can't help but applaud. But they never expected that such a method is no match for a eunuch.
At this time, Shen Ao couldn't help but think maliciously, could it be that Yan Fu really learned the Sunflower Book?
"Well, his power is far beyond Ao'er's imagination. Even in the whole Daqian, there are few enemies." This time, Shen Yunyi changed to a very serious tone and said. But after he finished speaking, After that, his expression changed again, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry, Ao'er. Even though Yan Fu is so powerful, he won't dare to harm you, haha."
"Huh?" Even though Shen Ao was very smart, Zhang Er was confused at this moment.
What does not dare mean? Shouldn't it be possible? And why wouldn't it be detrimental to oneself? Could it be that my father was kind to Yan Fu at that time?
Shen Ao suddenly couldn't see through his true identity. He wanted to ask his uncle, but knowing his uncle's temper, he knew clearly that if his uncle didn't want to tell him, he would definitely not be able to ask. When he should tell himself, maybe he didn't need to ask. Now you know.
...
King Xiang retreated and left the Guochanglong General Store in despair. Even the special king's carriage was dismantled. The news spread to the Lu Mansion. After the two Lu brothers shouted bad, they all gathered together. Decided to tell my father what happened.
Even King Xiang couldn't suppress the loyal Duke. The two brothers knew that no matter what other tricks they wanted to play, they would never get a chance. Even so, they could only use commercial methods to fight Guochanglong openly. .
In the backyard of the Lu Mansion, Lu Wuqiao, who no longer cares about world affairs, quietly listened to the complaints of his two sons, especially when they said that they owed a lot of debts with interest. His expression was even more ugly.
After they finally finished speaking, Mr. Lu let out a long sigh and said, "Oh, that's stupid. A good card has been beaten into such a state by you. It's really useless."
The father's voice of reproach fell into the ears of Lu Shijiang and Lu Shihe, and they did not dare to refute at all. They knew that if things went wrong, the Lu family would be destroyed. Thinking about the situation in the warehouse There was a mountain of rice paper, thinking that they had used up all their funds and owed a lot of debts to get the green bamboo. They regretted it in their hearts. They had known that Lord Zhongguo could make rice paper with such quality. It was so good and the cost was so low that they should not have responded to King Xiang’s request for a boycott in the first place.
There is no one who sells regret medicine in the world, and there are not many people who would have known it earlier. The two brothers have accepted their defeat, and they just hope that this time the Lu family's vitality will not be seriously damaged.
The two brothers have no idea and can only put their hope in their father. Does Lu Wuchiao have an idea?
If something happened, and the Lu brothers did not go to Prince Xiang, but went to Shen Ao directly and bowed their heads to admit their mistake, maybe things would turn around. But now, everything is hard to say.
Although Duke Zhong is only fifteen years old, he is still a Duke after all. He can't help King Xiang, but when facing the Lu family, why do you need to sell face? If you blindly target him, I'm afraid this level will be really difficult. I'm afraid I'll have to ask an old friend to borrow money to cross the border.
When he thought of his old friend, the image of that old guy Su Xun suddenly flashed across Lu Wuchiao's mind, and he couldn't help but be shocked again. It was this person who came to find him in the first place and placed a rice paper order of 20 million taels of silver. Now look at it. Come on, this is not really about buying rice paper. It is clearly a trap set up so that the Lu family can make rice paper with confidence. The more they make, the more the backlog of costs will increase, and the more they will be unable to turn over.
"Come here, take my name sticker and go to the Su Mansion, no! Prepare the oxcart, I want to go to the Su Mansion in person." Lu Wuchiao now thought clearly, he was plotted. But what can he do? In this way, the business world is originally about intrigues and deception. If someone is plotting against you, it means you are not as good as others, and you can't blame others. What you have to do now is to stand up and take a beating, as long as you don't get beaten to death.
...
Su Mansion.
Mr. Su Xun is in a very good mood now.
Ever since King Xiang approached the Lu family for cooperation, Guo Changlong had been under great pressure. When Su Xun also wanted to see how the young Duke Zhong would break the situation, the other party came to his door.
When he first heard about Shen Ao's plan, Su Xun still didn't believe it. Papermaking is so advanced, didn't you see that even the royal family of Daqian didn't have this technology? Shen Ao claimed that not only did he know it, but his method was even better. It is concise, the quality will be better, and the cost will be lower, so how can he trust it.
But Shen Ao came up with the deposit of two million, and he was just running an errand. Thinking that if the Lu family becomes powerful and has enough financial resources, it will be involved in other industries, which will also be a threat to himself and his enemies. Your enemy is your friend, and cooperation with Shen Ao is beneficial and harmless.
What's even more outrageous is that Shen Ao also allowed him to invest in the paper industry. He only needed to put out five million taels of silver first and get 10% of the benefits. In the short term, there may not be much benefit, but what if it really happens? That's possible Enjoy the benefits of several generations.
Businessmen value profits, and Shen Ao took advantage of this mentality and gave him enough benefits. In addition, Su Xun originally found Shen Ao very pleasing to his eye and admired the young man, so he finally agreed, causing the Lu family to fall into a trap. .
