Hearing this, Xiaobi nodded vigorously and said, "Go!" In case Xiao Wang Dashuai has three long and two short, wouldn't Zhuqiu be crying a lot? ”

"Alright, let's go now, go to the Simon family, we must return to the palace as soon as possible."

"Yes, Steward Lu!"

The Li family naturally had horses, and after a while, the three of them arrived at Ximen Mansion, Lu Yu turned over and dismounted, and asked the guards, "Is Yuan Zheng handsome?" ”

"Yes, he just recently came out of the barracks!"

Concubine Li wants to send a wedding gift to the Simon family. ”

When the servant of the Simon family heard this, he immediately showed a kind smile: "Yes, Master Lu, you come with me!" ”

Then, the little guy commanded to a person outside the courtyard: "Quickly report to the Great Commander, and say that the Great Commander Lu is coming!" ”

The master of their family, Ximen Fengyun, traveled abroad, and Ximen Blowing Snow was not in the capital, so Ximen Expedition became the master of the family, and he was more concerned about making money than Ximen Blowing Snow, so it was better to tell him!

Lu Yu and the three of them followed the family into the small courtyard where the Ximen Expedition lived, the small courtyard was clean and tidy, full of plum trees, the fragrance was refreshing, and he was also a tasteful person.

"Grandpa Lu, come in, it's winter, it's cold outside!"

Lu Yu and the three of them walked in, only to see that the room of the Ximen Expedition was full of books, and the walls were full of beautiful handwriting.

He was dressed in white, with a personable and polite manner, and there was a stove in the room, and there was a small servant on the stove, to which charcoal and water were being added.

"Sit down, I'll pour another drink!"

Lu Yu was not hypocritical, and took Xiaobi and the three of them to sit down in front of the stove, and Ximen Expedition skillfully cooked cup after cup of tea.

After speaking, Simon Expedition brought a bowl of tea to him: "Take a sip, this is mist tea!" ”

Lu Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip, feeling somewhat similar to the teacup in his previous life, but it was winter now, and the dragon dust swallowed the teacup in one bite.

Ximen Expedition poured a lot of wine for Long Yi, Xia He, and Sister Xiaobi, and then asked, "I don't know what happened to Concubine Li's mother looking for my Ximen family?" ”

Lu Yu showed a hint of mockery on his face, and he hurriedly explained: "You misunderstood, the Ximen family is about to develop.

I will put you Simon's house in full charge. ”

Simon Expedition replied expressionlessly: "Really? How much does a bar of soap cost? ”

When talking to smart people, it's really not a sentence that can get to the point.

Lu Yu stood up, leaned to his ear, and said in a low voice: "This soap cost less than two taels, ask someone to get pen and ink, Concubine Li asked me to send the prescription to the Ximen family." ”

Ximen Expedition turned around, glanced at Lu Yu carefully, and ordered the little guy who was making tea, "Go down." ”

"Okay!"

Xia He comprehended, took the teapot from the maid's hand, and began to boil water.

Ximen Expedition stood up and made a gesture of invitation to Lu Yu, and Lu Yu wrote down the prescription of soap on the table and handed it to him.

Ximen Yuanzheng continued to stare at the prescription in his hand, and asked slowly, "Steward Lu, I don't know what Concubine Li's requirements are?" ”

Lu Yu smiled at him and said, "Dashuai, there is still a war on the side of Donghao Kingdom, and the princess wants to send troops to exterminate the Salt Gang, which requires a large amount of silver taels, I wonder if the princess can help her?"

When Ximen Yuanzheng heard Lu Yu's words, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then paced around the room twice, saying, "What Concubine Li wants, just ask." ”

Lu Yu said cautiously: "I'll give 10 million taels of silver." ”

"Okay, I'll have someone send the money! If Concubine Li is still short of silver, we can borrow money from the Simon family. ”

This ancient family really has some ability, and he gave one million taels casually, presumably Simon Expedition has already calculated in his heart, and the sale of soap must not make their family suffer.

Lu Yu looked at Lu Yu and said, "The princess asked me to take this silver to Jingzhan City, can you bring thirty iron guards?" ”

"It's okay, with this money, we can send fifty iron guards!"

Lu Yu pondered for a moment and said, "It's better for the Ximen family to send a team, we can bypass the Black Stone Mountain, so that we can save two days." ”

Simon Expedition answered, and then asked, "Well, when will we leave?" ”

"Wait until dawn!"

"Okay, I'll let someone get you the money, you wait here first."

This Simon expedition was extremely efficient.

Soon, he came over with a cloth bag.

"There's a million taels here, let's count them."

Lu Yu handed the things to Sister Xiaobi, and then said to him: "Dashuai, the Ximen family has helped me, I thank you on behalf of the queen, and besides, this kind of soap is only available in our Yangjing Empire, I hope Dashuai will forgive me." ”

Ximen Yuanzheng smiled slightly and said: "I know, I know, our territory is big enough, your Li family is really a business genius!" ”

Lu Yu then remembered that several cities in the Yangjing Dynasty had been sold by Murong Commander and Hei Fengsha, and he said to Ximen Expedition, and did not say anything, but said: "Those few people will do this, I will do it according to your method, only make soap." ”

Lu Yu continued: "You can find someone in the imperial capital to take over that soap shop, and it just so happens that Sister Xiaobi is also there, so give that soap shop to the Ximen family." ”

Ximen Expedition laughed and said, "Steward Lu is really a good talker, to be honest, the soap recipe of one million taels is already very cost-effective, and in half a year and a year, I can earn it back." ”

Then he took a deep breath again, "You can send a message to Concubine Li, and ask her to do more coarse salt trading for Ximen Niangniang in the future, if she is short of money, go to Ximen Niangniang, and Ximen Niangniang can also take out 1.8 million taels." ”

"Then thank you General, if anyone inquires about the formula of this soap and wants to sell it at what price, quote three million taels!"

Ximen Expedition squinted at Lu Yu, smiled slightly, and said, "I know what you said, as for other places, you can buy as much as you can!" I am willing to cooperate with you. ”

Lu Yu arched his hand to him, and then said to him: "Thank you Dashuai, we won't bother Dashuai, Dashuai, you can let people buy the trading house in the capital today." ”

The Ximen Expedition sent Lu Yu to the courtyard and said, "There is no hurry in this matter, I want people to learn how to refine soap." ”

Lu Yu pondered for a while and said, "In the courtyard of the Li family, there are already some refining equipment, you find a time and let them buy it." ”

Simon thought for a moment, then instructed a servant who passed by, "Send the order down and ask her to wait for me in the courtyard." ”
