Chapter 15: What Are You Afraid of?

"Fewer people? What are you afraid of when there are few people? ”

After being stunned for a moment, Li Yuanjia raised his eyebrows, a little crying and laughing.

"This ......"

After being stunned for a while, looking at her husband's speechless expression and eyes, Fang Fengzhu felt that she might have thought something wrong, and said, "This is not ...... If there are few people, does it seem deserted? ”

"Deserted ......"

couldn't help but roll his eyes, Li Yuanjia smiled helplessly: "Fengzhu, you are opening a top club, specially used to entertain the top ladies in Chang'an City...... Do you understand what that means? ”

"Uh......"

Under Li Yuanjia's scrutinizing gaze, Fang Fengzhu bit his lip and asked with some uncertainty: "King, does it mean that we don't have to care much?" Should it only matter if they are eligible? ”

The corners of his mouth twitched twice, and Li Yuanjia shook his head helplessly and said, "No...... Bongjoo, remember what I told you, you are the top club, and it should be the place where others yearn for it and are desperately trying to join in! It doesn't matter if it's a hundred, or if it's ten...... Even if it's just the four of you, you should maintain this pride instead of inviting people around for the sake of the so-called excitement, you know? ”

“…… I see! ”

After taking a deep breath, Fang Fengzhu finally heard the meaning of her husband's words.

To put it bluntly, you shouldn't pull people around!

Now that I think about it, those things in my own palace, whether it is white paper, glass, recipes, or even the "Mathematics" and "University" that the king asked people to send to Xinhua Bookstore for sale, even if almost no one cares, but when did they shout everywhere to tell others?

Good things, but afraid that others don't want them?

Two books are enough, Fang Fengzhu also knows that they are very special, and it is not easy to sell them, but what about other things related to books?

Is white paper expensive? Is glass expensive? Are cards expensive?

But no matter which one it is, no matter how expensive it is, there are people waiting to buy it in a hurry!

The glass has not yet started to be sold, but there are already many people who are worried about it, and even a few people have found Fang Fengzhu in private, saying that they want to book in advance for a given deposit! As for the blank paper and cards, there are people guarding the Xinhua bookstore every month, for fear that they won't buy it......

What's wrong with our club?

Maybe the house is not top-notch, but after Zhang Wan and Chen Mu have been busy for a few months, even Fang Fengzhu has to admit that the place now has the charm that makes her want to linger, not to mention that she can enjoy the food of Han Wangfu in it, and she can play all kinds of games designed by the king without any scruples!

Think about it, what is wrong!

In a flash of thought, Fang Fengzhu quickly figured this out, and then her expression became more and more embarrassed - this truth, in fact, Li Yuanjia really told her before, but seeing that the opening of the club was gradual, she, the princess, cared about it and lost her sense of proportion for a while.

So after thinking about it clearly, Fang Fengzhu hurriedly asked, "King, if that's the case...... Otherwise, if I write a letter to Shuyue and them, I will say that I won't let them continue to invite people? ”

"Uh, no!"

Waving his hand, Li Yuanjia shook his head and said, "Since you have already invited people, don't go back on your word, that's not good." But didn't you just say that? It's just an invitation to come on the same day, as for whether they can join ......"

"Look at the performance, look at the conditions!"

"Haha, yes!"

Fang Fengzhu's rush to answer made Li Yuanjia smile and nodded: "In a word, I'd rather be cold than relax your conditions!" You know, there are some things that you do for the first time, and then you can't hold it anymore...... Do you understand? ”

“…… I see! ”

Although he also hesitated this time, Fang Fengzhu's response was much firmer!

Then, after biting her lip slightly, she asked, "My lord, we will open the door on the tenth day of the ninth month...... When the time comes, do you want to check it out? ”

"Me?"

After being stunned for a moment, Li Yuanjia smiled dumbly: "Where you women gather, what am I doing in the past?" And don't forget, I didn't take them to see the charm of the sauna that day, and I was even more inappropriate to go......"

……

Fang Fengzhu's mind is on the club that is about to open, and Li Yuanjia's attention is on the dumping workshop and glass workshop at this time, and they are all happy to do it. But in the Jiucheng Palace, not far from Chang'an, there are two people who have been worrying......

To be precise, it should be a person who is troubled and a person who is busy.

"Ma Yuan, how much time is there until the army is launched?"

As soon as he returned to the house from outside, Huang Ren couldn't help but ask a question that he didn't know how many times he had asked recently.

"It's not much, it's only two months."

Bowing his head and filling in the numbers on his record sheet, Ma Yuan replied without raising his head: "But our preparation is far from enough, neither manpower nor things are enough...... Hey, what a headache! ”

As he spoke, the pen in Ma Yuan's hand couldn't help but stop and sighed leisurely.

The Tang army's attack on the Western Regions is not a trivial matter, especially when it comes to considering not only the opponent of Gaochangguo, but also the reactions of the surrounding countries......

Tens of thousands!

This is only the number of soldiers, but don't forget, in addition to the soldiers, there are more people following this march, if they are injured or something, can it be that Ma Yuan and Huang Ren just watch and don't help?

Therefore, the various materials to be prepared alone are a huge amount.

Not to mention......

The most important thing is people!

If spirits are not available, boiled water is fine; There is no sterile bag, you can use steamed cotton cloth or linen cloth, and you can make a living, even the knives and fronts that need to be used to treat injuries are a big deal to cook at any time, and they can't delay things, but the big problem of lack of manpower, Huang Ren and Ma Yuan have no tricks.

They usually have apprentices, but it's not easy to teach a satisfying one.

"I don't know what the situation is on the king's side, how many can I teach!"

Thinking about it, Ma Yuan couldn't help but say again: "It seems that the two of us have been studying for a few months, right?" By November......"

"Bump!"

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

As he spoke, he suddenly heard a muffled sound, Ma Yuan was suddenly startled, and quickly looked up in the direction of Huang Ren...... I saw that the guy's face was gloomy, and he knocked his fingers on the table and said angrily: "I said Ma Yuan, aren't you afraid?" We're going to war this time...... Battlefield! It's going to die! ”

"This ...... Afraid of what? ”

After being stunned for a moment, blinking his eyes, Ma Yuan replied angrily: "Of course I know that there will be dead people on the battlefield, otherwise what would you ask us to follow?" But we're not those soldiers, we have to fight, don't worry so much......"
