Chapter Twenty-Four: Medicinal Diet and Wu Laoer's Confusion
Dongcheng, Qingfeng Tea House Private Room.
Wu Lao Er was bored looking at the pedestrians outside the window, summing up all the things he had done in the past two days. Since discussing with Zhou Ji on the day of the fight, Wu Lao Er has not been idle in the past two days. first visited the city lord Zhao Jun, and the two discussed secretly for two hours in Zhao Jun's study, and finally reached a consensus in some aspects. He visited the four gang leaders and others one by one, and by the way, he sent someone to call the leaders of the rest of the small gangs to the palace for a meeting. The approximate meaning is that the prince is coming to Daye City, and the palace is still lacking some things, so you all find a way to help make up for it, and you will not be treated badly in the future. There are still many people here in Daye City who may not be reliable, and it is impossible to leave everything to them. In case Zhao Jun is really killed in front of everyone on the day of Chongyang, maybe others will be fine, but he is estimated to be pushed to the end, no matter how serious it is, it is not impossible to kill his head. Even if King Zhao trusted himself again, it was impossible for him to put his own safety in his hands.
Back at the mansion, Qian Ningwang brought a group of newly recruited subordinates to the palace. Wu Lao Er didn't ask much, the outer courtyard is divided into a few people with sharp hands and feet, the inner courtyard is divided into a few people with eyesight, gardeners, grooms, laundry cooks, tea and water, all available.
After Wu Lao Er finished the distribution, he asked Niu Cheng to lead a group of subordinates to the place where they lived, and he and Qian Ning came to the side hall and sat down, Wu Lao Er nodded at Qian Ning with satisfaction and said: "Qian Gang Master really has the ability, this matter, if you let it be done in the next place, there will be no month or two months to find such neat people." It's only been a few days since the money gang leader helped me find all of them, thank you so much. ”
Qian Ningwang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "My lord is too polite, the slave family is just familiar with this place, and I really don't deserve such praise from my lord." And the slave family just did a little thing for the adult, and please don't be so polite. ”
Isn't it a trivial matter, let's not talk about Li Dongyi's house, you see Tang Qing and Liu Qingshan, they don't dare to send things now, for fear that the things they send won't get into the eyes of Manager Wu, so they always want to prepare a little more, prepare a little more. Wu Lao Er estimated that they would have to send everything the day before King Zhao came.
Wu Lao Er raised the teacup in his hand and motioned for Qian to drink tea, "This tea is not a good thing, it is just an ordinary commodity in the capital, and the Qian Gang Master is drinking." ”
Qian Ningwang hurriedly raised a glass of thanks, and Wu Lao Er continued: "The Qian Gang Master has done this beautifully, I feel that the Qian Gang Master is a friend, and there will be many opportunities for us to cooperate in the future." As for you, you may also know that our royal mansion has taken over all the medicine business in the city. This business is not big, but it is not small, but it is definitely not enough for the palace to spend. Therefore, I want to open up some other sources of income. Seeing that Qian was staring and listening carefully, Wu Lao Er smiled, "I heard that the biggest business in Beicheng is in the hands of the Qian Gang Master, how about it, are you interested in cooperating?" ”
Qian stared at his lips and asked with a trembling question, "I don't know what the adult said about cooperation."
"Medicinal diet!" Wu Lao Er paused for a moment and gave Qian Ning enough time to think, "I heard that there is a restaurant in Beicheng that has a rich gang, and here in the palace, there will be two imperial doctors coming over, and when the time comes, I will let the two imperial doctors study some medicinal food and send the menu to the Qian gang master." It's hard to say whether this thing works or not, but there will always be people who will gravitate towards it. At that time, the money gang leader will give the palace a share of each medicinal meal. ”
When Wu Lao Er first said that he was cooperating, Qian Ningwang was really tempted, but this guy was brewing for a long time before the whole thing came out. No matter how good the medicinal diet is, how much money can you earn?
Qian Ningwang thought about it and showed a "pure feminine" smile to Wu Lao Er, "Adults, don't entertain little women, let's talk about what adults really want to cooperate." ”
Wu Lao Er laughed, and Qian Ningwang also laughed. After laughing, Wu Lao Er said something solemnly, Qian Ning listened and listened, and admired this Manager Wu more and more, why did he think so much? According to what he said, if he really did it, wouldn't he be able to go to the next level and get rid of the current embarrassing situation of not being able to go up and down?
Wu Lao Er's words made the guests and hosts happy, and when the two of them were still unsatisfied, Zhou Ji came, told Wu Lao Er that there were a few more brothers in the capital, and brought a message from the prince. Qian stared at the retirement of acquaintances, and Wu Lao Er even said that one day he would find Qian to help the master and study it well.
Just when Qian was about to step out of the gate of the palace with one foot, he heard Wu Laoer's voice from behind, "By the way, Qian Gang Master, there is no one in my house, you can help me with another set!" ”
Qian Jing looked back and smiled, "Okay, Master Wu, don't worry." "Turned around and gritted his teeth and left.
Zhou Ji said: "Isn't this okay? ”
"How so? I'm friends with this money helper, shouldn't friends do a little favor with each other? ”
Zhou Ji: ""
Wu Lao Er straightened his clothes and followed Zhou Ji to meet the few people who had just arrived.
"What's the situation? Delayed my communication with the beautiful woman"
Zhou Ji ignored this guy's obscenity, "Ten brothers came over, it was the prince who asked me to help you, the prince will set off tomorrow, there are more carriages and horses, and it is estimated that it will take three days to arrive." The prince also said that the military department has already said that in the future, all the military herbs on the side of Daye City will be sent by us. As for further north, let's talk about it ourselves. ”
Wu Lao Er nodded and said, "I know, in this way, I will meet these brothers later, and then you arrange for them to live with me first, don't show up first, and there are things for them to do in the future." ”
"To your new home? Isn't there still nothing? How to stay? ”
Wu Lao Er's face was angry, "How can there be nothing?" Wait for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, everything will be ready, we don't have money, but we have friends! ”
"Okay, you are the biggest, everything is up to you." Zhou Ji was really weak in words, so he had to answer lazily.
Wu Lao Er smiled proudly, "Let the brothers deal with it first, and the days will slowly get better in the future." ”
When he came to the backyard and saw a few knights who were dusty, Wu Lao Er encouraged him, and said that he had already arranged a place to live, and they would bring a few people over later.
Then Wu Lao Er sent people to Xicheng and Nancheng to urge Tang Qing and Liu Qingshan, no matter how much they get now, they will be sent over tomorrow. The prince will arrive in three days, can't he let the prince see an empty study and bedroom, right? The pendulum that should be pendulum, the hanging, the hanging.
instructed everyone to run errands, and Wu Lao Er found a sunny place to sit by himself. Tired, Wu Lao Er really felt tired. In the past two days, except for running the internal strength twice before going to bed at night, I didn't even have time to punch. It's not easy to be a manager. The palace can be said to have nothing, of course King Zhao will not come over like Wu Lao Er said to Zhao Jun that they only have a few hundred gold coins, but it will not be outrageous. There are now more than 30 people in the palace, and after King Zhao arrives, there is still a large group of people brought in the capital, and there must be several eunuchs and palace maids with functions, and this part of the money will be the palace's own expenses in the future. In short, there are more than 100 people up and down the palace, and they need more than 500 gold coins a year to eat, drink, and Lazar, and they can't save it, and this has to count everyone's salaries and some unplanned things.
Wu Laoer's plan is to wait for King Zhao to come, persuade King Zhao to set up an internal and external manager in the palace, and in the future, he will be responsible for the general affairs, and the small matters in the palace will be handed over to these two people. After the outside business is done by yourself, it should also be handed over to a reliable and trustworthy person to take over, and you will be responsible for coming up with ideas and grasping the general direction. At that time, you will have time to ponder your martial arts, not to be invincible in the world, but to protect yourself. Sometimes Wu Lao Er also thinks, will he be a great achievement in the future, and he will also have a broken void or something? Although I know that it is impossible, everyone must have dreams.
Sometimes I want to study how I was reborn and crossed over, but I really don't have a clue. If you didn't die in your previous life, it can't be Meng Po soup or something, is this world a parallel space in your previous life? Is there really such a thing as reincarnation?
Headache
Wu Lao Er slowly stood up, raised his head in front of the sun, and squinted into the distance, his eyes full of confusion
