Chapter 271: Meeting with the Four Great Families
Teahouse.
The four major families have already prepared, come and wait, the meals have already been ordered, placed on the table, big fish and meat, counting as many as seven or eight plates, each rich and delicious, looking salivating, people can't pay attention.
"Why haven't you come yet?"
Lu Fang was the first to speak, time passed minute by minute, and Li Zhouren still didn't appear, could it be that Li Zhou deceived them, or were they fooling us?
Her eyes swept to the Cui family brothers and sisters, her eyes were full of doubts and doubts, Cui Mingzhu drank tea with her head on her chin, as if she couldn't see her suspicions, she was also very depressed in her heart, didn't Li Zhou say that she would come today? I haven't seen anyone yet, wait a moment for him to come, I must let him make a good mess, dare to make them wait so long.
Angry, Cui Mingzhu was angry, Li Zhou didn't come at this time, others couldn't help but suspect him, the time was getting longer and longer, not only Lu Fang began to doubt, Xie Gui and Wang Yuan were a little impatient, their expressions began to change, and there was an indescribable weirdness on his steady, calm face, and he was deeply suspicious.
"It's coming soon, Sister Lu, don't worry, just wait a little longer."
Seeing that the others were getting more and more impatient, Cui Mingzhu spoke out to comfort them and appease their irritable hearts, she couldn't do it if she didn't speak, if it went on like this, the others didn't say anything, and the suspicion in their hearts would definitely become more and more intense.
Lu Fang nodded, she was in a hurry, she had waited for so many days, just for this day, could she not be in a hurry? The goods are all hoarded there, and if she doesn't make a move, she will lose money, and she can't afford that risk.
The people of the other two families are not, Li Zhou has not moved, it is as quiet as death, either busy with the affairs of the yamen, or they have begun to plan Fang County, and they have not had time to deal with them, and they can't be too anxious to disturb Li Zhou.
They are businessmen, he is His Royal Highness the Prince, his identity is different, and what he does is for the country and the people, and it is a bit of flattery for the country, and it is true that for the people, all of this he has done, they all see it in their eyes, Fang County has suddenly become beautiful, there are more people, more goods, and there are rules.
The squalor of the past is gone, and the piles of garbage on the ground are gone, although it is not as prosperous as Chang'an, it is considered to be in the forefront of the major counties, and there are laws and regulations that stipulate the greed of personnel, as well as the convenience provided for businessmen, so that Fang County is prosperous all of a sudden.
But those are all small businesses, small meanings, and their four families have no connection, even if the city is chaotic, their four families are not afraid, as long as they can make money, what are they afraid of, the goods they hoard are not comparable to these two points, just take out a little, enough to make the city develop rapidly.
And those, are waiting for Li Zhou's order.
Today is the day of conversation.
Everyone's hearts settled down a little, the Cui family brothers and sisters all said so, he will definitely come, don't worry, wait a little longer, face still has to be given, sit down, drink tea calmly, wait for Li Zhou for a while, it's not too much, the identity of the family is there.
After waiting for about half an hour, his mood gradually became irritable, his hands and feet trembled, his eyes kept looking around, Lu Fang raised his neck to look outside, and two figures walked in, unhurried, unhurried, as if they were shopping, tired, thirsty, come in to drink tea.
After the two came in, her face was happy, and the others noticed her strange appearance, looked outside, and immediately overjoyed, here, Your Highness has come, and finally come.
It's not to deceive us, that's fine.
Everyone's hearts settled down a little, it's good to come, it's good to come, the big stone in their hearts, the doubts that had been suppressed in their hearts before dissipated at this moment, how afraid they were that they would be deceived by Li Zhou, and then lose money, and return to the family, wouldn't they be ridiculed and demoted.
Li Zhou walked over step by step with a sunny and warm smile, pressed his hand, and everyone sat down, a little flattered, this highness is really as approachable as rumored, and he doesn't play cards according to common sense.
Li Zhou sat down, poured tea by himself, picked up chopsticks, ate and ate, Ximenbei stood behind him, shook his head, Li Zhou looked like this, don't you feel rude? No matter what, you are also Your Highness, a little demeanor is good, you are like this, where do people think you are a beggar!
After Li Zhouda ate for a while, he saw the strange eyes of several people, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he raised his head and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" Don't you eat it? It's delicious. ”
Saying that, I ate again, this time, and for a while, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, stunned, shocked, this master is really a bunker, famous is not as good as seeing.
"What are you looking at me for? I'm going to eat. Li Zhou's mouth was stuffed with food, and he chirped, and it was very difficult to explain what he wanted to say, and several people were also very difficult to understand Li Zhou's words, and they looked at each other, and they were speechless.
Lowered his head, endured that smile, wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, he should not dare to laugh, for fear of provoking His Highness unhappy, and leaving directly, then wouldn't they be finished.
Cui Mingzhu looked at his cousin-in-law with a strange face, a person like a celestial person, even if he was like this at home, he was still like this when he came out, he didn't change, he was like this, he was real, he was cute.
There is no disgust, no faux pas, but a little more happiness in my heart, and the person in front of me is much cuter no matter how you look at it.
Cui Guanzhi saw that someone had finally eaten with him, and smirked at Li Zhou, Li Zhouzhi returned the smile, everything was in a giggle, the two of them came and went, and after eating most of it, he put down the chopsticks in his hand and wiped the oil stains on his mouth.
"It's so full."
Li Zhou couldn't help it, he was really full, he didn't eat early in the morning, he walked around the streets for a long time, inspected for a long time, and found that the people in the yamen were acting according to his orders, and he was much more relieved.
After the yamen got on the right track, he came to the appointment, and he would definitely not let go of the food when he saw it, who was polite to you, and if there was something to eat, he would finish eating first, no, after eating, he was paralyzed there, and he enjoyed it very much.
The people of the four major families finally came back to their senses, looking at Li Zhou in front of them with a look of enjoyment, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help twitching, this is one of the most bizarre people they have ever seen, and the other is Cui Guanzhi, Cui Guanzhi can be ignored, everyone knows his situation, let him do his own thing, Li Zhou, a conspirator, is also the same, which makes them feel a little sorry for this world.
Is it because this world has changed a lot, or are they not suitable for this world, why are they out of place?
Everyone is out of place, think about it carefully, it is Li Zhou who is out of place in this world, he has his way, and they are living with that stubbornness and decay, and it is inevitable that they can't understand it.
Thinking about it again, I suddenly found that I was restrained and others, as a businessman, I like nothing more than this kind of person, not arrogant or impatient, not to oppress them with identity, let alone use the power in my hands, and treat them normally, which is the least respect for them.
Let them comfort a lot in their hearts, they have seen many people, many officials, as businessmen, it is necessary to deal with all kinds of people in the world, from big officials, down to ordinary people, and even beggars, they have all dealt with them, not many people can afford them, respect, can only be hehe.
Li Zhou didn't know what they were thinking, and said, "You're all here, right?" ”
The four major families, Cui Lu Wang Xie, the four overlord-like families, they can be seen everywhere in the Tang Dynasty, and their business is all over the country, in this era, they are considered a family known to countless people.
The Cui family, needless to say, has a prominent family, a large number of talents, and many ancestral officials, and now it is also, the Wang family, the Xie family, and the Lu family, are not much different, and several families join forces, which is a force that cannot be ignored.
There are also many unknown small families, which together form a power department of the Tang Dynasty, family power.
It is also called the landlord force.
For the common people, they are the overlords, they are the heavens, and they are the reborn parents, because they transport many daily necessities, as well as heaven and earth, eating, drinking, and Lazar are almost the same.
But they look at the glory, but in fact, they still have a little inferiority complex in their hearts, because they are businessmen, Shinong and industrialist, needless to say, the lowest status of merchants, except for slaves, is the lowest group of people.
Most people don't do business, and they have to do it.
"Yes."
A few people didn't dare to be presumptuous, although Li Zhou was guilty, he was still His Royal Highness the Prince, not something they could compare, they didn't dare to be presumptuous, nodded respectfully, Li Zhou nodded, they were so restrained, it wasn't something he could soothe with a few words, it was better to be out of sight.
"What do you guys think about this? What do you think of my conditions? ”
Li Zhou didn't talk nonsense with them, he took out the businessman's set, it was useless to greet them, they were not old friends, let alone old friends, businessmen still used their set, so as not to embarrass everyone.
Li Zhou said this, a few people were a little less restrained on the surface, and began to think about Li Zhou's question, how much they had heard from the rough pearl, but they didn't know the specifics, Lu Fang asked: "I don't know what the young master needs?" Whether we can be more specific, we have to discuss before we can draw conclusions. ”
They didn't agree immediately, hesitated, Li Zhou understood, and continued: "I don't need many things, what I need is people, craftsmen, and some raw materials, such as wine and grain, I think these are not difficult for you, right?" ”
"Wine? Grain? Craftsman? ”
A few people were puzzled, what do you want these things for? You don't want to make a fortune with this, do you?
"I don't know ...... young master?"
Unable to hold back the doubts in his heart, Lu Fang's spoke again, and several other people were silent, their eyes fixed on Li Zhou, as if Lu Fang represented all of them and spoke their hearts.
