Chapter 95: Straw and Driftwood
Hiding soldiers in the mountains is indeed a taboo for the emperors of previous dynasties, but the number of homeless children taken in by Du Baozhu is not large, and the age is not very old, so there is no way to talk about the word 'rebellion'.
Li Jie said this, obviously wanting Du Baozhu to share the charge of hiding soldiers. Du Baozhu refused to be fooled: "Your Highness said that it was funny, my Du family has been a good minister for generations, and I have always been loyal to the king to relieve your worries." How could the saint punish the Du family because of this misunderstanding? ”
Li Jie was not angry because of her confrontation, but only slanted his narrow eyes towards her, and said meaningfully: "The saint is far away in the palace and does not know about civil affairs. Whether the Du family is 'hiding soldiers' or 'taking in beggars' is just the difference between Tian Lingzi's words. You have blocked Sun Fang's way several times now, do you really think they will let you go? ”
Du Baozhu is not worried about Tian Lingzi, after all, she is a mercenary villain, as long as she is willing to pay, it is not difficult to keep peace for a year.
On the contrary, the young man in front of him is also one of the close ministers around Xi Zong. If it doesn't work out of his way, will he take the opportunity to add fuel to the fire? Thinking like this, she couldn't help but feel a chill down her back, and secretly glad that she hadn't completely offended this person before.
"Your Highness reminds you very much."
Knowing that Li Jie came prepared, he was bound to get these two things. Du Baozhu had no choice but to bow his head and soften: "Please also ask Your Highness to defend the slave in front of the saint...... As for the half of the tea plantation you want, the hill where the slaves bought is a little smaller, and the people come and go in a mess. Why don't you wait a little longer, and the slave has enough money to expand another tea mountain, and hand it over to His Royal Highness to dispose of? ”
Li Jie's fingertips tapped on the armrest without a trace, and after a while, he nodded reluctantly: "This king only waits for three months." ”
"The slave must do his best to share the worries of His Highness." Accidentally, he was reduced to a working boy, and Du Baozhu secretly grinded his teeth. However, the matter has come to this point, and I can only try to fight for some interests for myself: "All the actions of the slave are now in the eyes of people with intentions, and I am afraid that the tea mountain incident will be secretly stumped ......"
"It's inconvenient for the king to come forward in this matter." Li Jie lowered his eyes, and his thick eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes, blocking his thoughts: "You need to be careful with yourself." ”
"......" is this what it means to work in vain and take care of things yourself? Du Baozhu was so angry by Li Jie's shamelessness that he vomited blood, but he didn't dare to show anything on his face, but just lowered his head deeply: "Slave obeys." ”
Li Jie also seemed to feel that he had gone too far, pursed his lips, and called in a guard: "The tea mountain was built for this king, and the money for repairing the mountain should naturally come from this king." Give you 100,000 yuan first, and if it is not enough, then come to this king. ”
The guard saw that there was already a thick stack on the table, and his eyelids jumped involuntarily, but he didn't say anything, and honestly took out a sheet from his arms and changed it.
At the beginning, Du Guangyi bought two mountains and spent three hundred taels of silver. Li Jie only needs a mountain, and 100,000 yuan is barely enough.
Du Baozhu put the bag back in his sleeve pocket, didn't hold back, and asked Li Jie: "Since Your Highness believes that the slave is not Du Baozhu, why do you still cooperate with the slave?" ”
This is the strangest thing about Du Baozhu.
Her current body is only ten years old, and if she occasionally has any strange thoughts, she will only be treated as a child, otherwise she will not be able to hide it from the Du family, who knows the most.
But since Li Jie recognized her identity, why didn't he be curious about her origin at all, and even asked her the purpose of replacing Du Baozhu?
Li Jie lowered his eyes slightly, and the corners of his straight lips showed a trace of self-deprecation: "People who fall into the water, where can they distinguish between straw and driftwood." As long as you are not a spy who came to cut off my Tang Dynasty, it is enough. ”
At this time, Li Jie is not the old and yin king of Shou when he first met, nor is he the poor ambitious king in the history books, but an ordinary teenager who has lost the protection of his elders and is unable to protect himself.
Du Baozhu suddenly remembered where he had seen it, Tian Lingzi was not good to Li Jie, the prince, on the way to the west, Li Jie walked slowly, and Tian Lingzi dared to whip him in front of everyone.
He was only fifteen years old after all, and he was still a child. Du Baozhu's heart softened suddenly, and it was rare that she no longer cared about this guy threatening her with her identity.
"Although Your Highness can rest assured, the slave is still the Du family, and he will never do anything that endangers Datang." Datang is in trouble, and he won't help.
Du Baozhu swallowed the second half of the sentence back into his stomach, and withdrew from the private room after saluting.
When she was gone, the guard who had taken out the change before quietly walked into the private room: "Little Lady Du doesn't look like a person who is willing to be threatened, will there be another ambush in this matter?" ”
"What about the ambush?" Li Jie still maintained his original sitting posture, but the fragility on his face had already been cleaned up, and there was no trace of it: "The rebellion in the south has not yet subsided, and the Shatuo Department in the north has invaded several cities in a row, but the saint has been coaxed by Tian Lingzi, ignoring state affairs and having fun. At this time, if this king doesn't make some dangerous moves, won't he wait for the country to change his surname? ”
The guard then buried his head in his chest and remained silent.
Du Baozhu came out of the Moon Tower, and the sun had completely set. However, the lanterns hung from the shops thinned the night into a hazy orange glow, like a city that never sleeps.
Lu Ming saw that her face was not good, and he wanted to speak a little and stopped: "...... The little lady was embarrassed by His Highness? ”
He was also a little puzzled, obviously His Royal Highness had not summoned him to ask about the little lady a few days ago, why was he interested again. also deliberately pointed out that no one else is allowed to replace it, and the little lady must personally accompany the thank-you banquet.
Du Baozhu was still thinking about the information Li Jie had revealed earlier.
Since Lu Ningzhao harmed her for the sake of the polo team, now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need to make another move. At the beginning, Li Jie said that the person would be unfavorable to her, wasn't it for the sake of the Cypriot to make eyeliner around her and deliberately alarmist?
In this way, Li Jie has long been suspicious of her, so he deliberately did something inexplicable to test her?
It's just too careless. Du Baozhu secretly woke up, she acted fairly smoothly along the way, but she lost her vigilance and almost caused a catastrophe!
After reorganizing her course of action, she looked up at Lu Ming: "In the future, if Your Highness asks you about me, it will be according to what I taught you." If we miss the horse's feet, we can't escape the relationship. ”
The smile on Lu Ming's face froze, and it took a while before he nodded in disappointment. Du Baozhu saw him nodding before he stepped forward.
A few days later, the five-day promotion conference officially came to an end.
At night, Shopkeeper He instructed his men to close the door before he put out an abacus to count the accounts. The ledger involved hundreds of shops, and he and the apprentices he brought with him were a total of five people, and it took him a long time to figure it out.
"Little lady, this time we're making money!" Shopkeeper He pinched the settled bills, his hands trembled, but his eyes were shining: "Excluding the payment to each store, as well as the expenses of publicity management, we will make a net profit of 800,000 yuan!" ”
He followed Du Baozhu and handled a total of four major events.
The first thing is to open a new tea shop.
Although the little lady has a good way of publicity, she has made a good start. But this money came too easily, and it was looked down upon by others, and there were many more tribulations in vain. In the end, I had no choice but to hand over most of the new tea recipes. As a result, new tea is everywhere now, and the business of new tea shops has long been much worse than before, with a daily turnover of only 40,000 or 50,000 yuan.
Now that it is more than three months, it has only earned more than one million yuan after removing the cost, and it was also bought by the little lady into a mountain tea tree.
The second is the Martial Arts Association.
This transaction looked lively, but it was the six liquor shops that contracted the venue that actually made money. Counting the contracting fee and advertising fee, I only made a total of seven or eight hundred thousand dollars. After the remuneration of participating martial artists and security guards, there are only 100,000 yuan left.
The 100,000 yuan was taken by the little lady to recruit a group of boys, and she did the third thing - the securities bank.
The bond store has opened its own business, don't look at the shopkeepers' happy purchases, but the bond store only made a hard money, and the net income in two months was not more than 200,000 yuan, which was not as good as the monthly income of Changle Liquor.
Only this promotion conference did the bond bank really make money. Shopkeeper He was afraid that his apprentice would miscalculate the account, so he calculated it again before he dared to believe it: "Really, we earned 800,000 yuan in five days!" ”
After being excited, she was a little worried: "Little lady, this promotion conference is coming in so quickly, I'm afraid it will be learned by others soon?" ”
In the past, the new tea shop was like this, and the surrounding shops saw that the business of the new tea shop was booming, and they used all kinds of bad methods. At that time, the shopkeeper He couldn't wait to stay in the shop at night, so he could barely prevent 'accidents' such as fires and thieves.
This time he made so much money, not to mention others, Wang Debao alone would definitely not be able to sit still, and I don't know what tricks he would come up with to deal with Du Ji.
Du Baozhu saw that he was wrinkling a bitter gourd face, obviously only in his early forties, and he was stunned that he was seventy or eighty years old, and couldn't help laughing: "The things at the promotion conference are all on the surface, others want to learn, how can we stop it?" Let them be. ”
Shopkeeper He couldn't help but be anxious: "Then what about our securities bank?" ”
He watched the coupon store open, and the little lady spent money to promote the martial arts club, and hired guys to run on the streets all day long, and it took a lot of effort to make the promotion conference have the current situation. Why do these people sit back and enjoy what they do?
"What are you afraid of, these people just see us making money, but they don't see our hard work. This is not something that can be done by anyone casually, and when they suffer hardship, they will naturally stop learning. ”
Du Baozhu is not so worried about the shopkeeper, not to mention that she has already signed a contract with 80% of the FMCG stores in the city. It is not easy to make people believe in the bond company and be willing to spend money to buy vouchers in advance.
How much foreshadowing did she do for this? Where are the half-way businesses that can easily do it? When they smashed their reputation with real money and spread out the market, Du Ji had already made a lot of money, where did they fight Du Ji?
Shopkeeper He is still worried: "That Wang Debao and the West Mansion store ......"
"Speaking of Wang Debao," Du Baozhu was reminded by him, but remembered a big event: "Didn't he engage in a fabric promotion a few days ago?" How's the business, and how much fabric is left? ”
