Chapter Forty-Six: Full of Loyalty
Li Wuchang decided to make money, make a lot of money, and had a series of plans.
Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun were persuaded by Li Wuchang and decided to fully cooperate with Li Wuchang, and according to Li Wuchang's requirements, they went to choose a location, asking for a lively atmosphere, a large flow of people, and a fair price.
Li Wuchang wrote a plan by himself, decided to open a restaurant and a clothing store, and listed all kinds of details, including the calculation of costs, the configuration of labor, and a simple training plan.
I also secretly observed many excellent shopkeepers, cooks and old tailors, and hired them at a great deal of money.
The capital Li Wuchang is the big one, and he is in charge of the overall situation, and Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun are the two of them, and they obey Li Wuchang's dispatch in action.
After a few days, Zhao Jiang and the others had a new understanding of Li Wuchang.
Li Wuchang has a fairly detailed process for the planning of the whole thing, when to do what to do, what to pay attention to, how much it will cost, and if it can't be done, there are any backup plans, all written in detail.
And that ad...... Yes, that word should be called advertising, which means to advertise widely, to create gimmicks to the greatest extent, to open up popularity, and the means used are also extraordinary.
Li Wuchang even created a lot of his own dishes, Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun have tried it, and they think it is very good, if they are asked to cook it, it will definitely make people linger.
In addition, Li Wuchang also designed several samurai uniforms, which are quite exciting to look at the sketches, which are both novel and chic and heroic, and they look much better than ordinary clothes.
I have been planning for several days, the location has been selected, and the restaurant and clothing store are ready to open in Dongshi.
Everything is ready, start the decoration, the layout of the restaurant Li Wuchang has already drawn a sketch, it is a little complicated, it is estimated that it will take a while to complete the decoration.
The clothing store is much simpler, just set up a clothing showroom, and get a few fitting rooms, and now they are all starting to enter the fabric.
The three of them were busy.
Li Wuchang pulled his grandmother and Xiaoru up to help, Zhao Xun called the three members of the Wang family to help, Jiang Minglun simply moved to Xuanpingfang with his mother, and lived in Li Wuchang's big mansion for the time being.
The family members rarely have the opportunity to come out to do things, so they are naturally very happy, this group of people is led by Li Wuchang's nurse, forming a force, busy every day, cooperating with Li Zhaojiang and the three of them, but they are also very happy.
When everything was in full swing, the second prince Lu Xuandong sent someone to Li's mansion, saying that he was asking Li Wuchang to meet him quickly, and he should be looking for Li Wuchang to help people see a doctor, which was an appointment between Li Wuchang and Lu Xuandong before, so naturally he couldn't miss the appointment.
......
When Li Wuchang rushed to the main hall of the East Courtyard of the Li Mansion, he found that there were many people.
Lu Xuandong came to the Li Mansion in person, and his entourage still included Lin Zheng and Guo Yunlei, who were drinking tea and chatting, accompanied by Li Wufeng's brothers.
"Second Highness, Second Young Lin, Brother Yunlei!" Li Wuchang bowed.
Then he said hello to Li Wufeng and Li Wuxian.
Sit down and wait for Lu Xuandong to speak.
Lu Xuandong coughed lightly and said, "Impermanence, you must know what I am looking for you to do today." ”
Li Wuchang nodded and said, "I made an appointment before, I'm always ready, just wait for the Second Highness to speak, may I ask, who will you see me this time, will you leave now?"
Li Wufeng, Li Wufeng, showed a sudden realization expression.
The Second Highness of the Relationship was looking for Li Wuchang to help people heal, and at first they thought that the Second Highness had come down to find trouble with Li Wuchang, and they were still thinking about how to deal with it.
Lu Xuandong showed a heavy expression and said, "Impermanence knows the Zheng family, right?"
Li Wuchang frowned and said, "Second Highness is talking about the Zheng family full of loyalty?"
Lu Xuandong nodded.
The Zheng family is a big family that has risen in the past two decades.
Zheng Hui, the ancestor of the Zheng family, was originally a martial arts hero, and when the previous emperor went out on patrol, he accidentally saw Zheng Hui acting chivalrous and righteous, and he appreciated it very much, and brought him back as a guard.
Zheng Hui thanked the old emperor for his kindness, served the old emperor with his heart, twenty years as a day, loyal, deeply trusted by the old emperor, was sent to Jizhou as a general, and the Xiongnu, Khitan fought a lot of hard battles, old qualifications, strong ability, and high prestige in the army.
Later died in battle with the Xiongnu.
At that time, the current saint had just ascended the throne, and he was deeply impressed by Zheng Hui's merits and posthumously named the Marquis of Dingxiang.
Zheng Hui has four sons, all of whom are outstanding people.
The eldest son Zheng Heng is loyal and filial, good literature does not like martial arts, is a well-known literati in Chang'an City, after Zheng Hui's death, the title of Marquis of Dingxiang was inherited by him.
The other three sons all followed Zheng Hui, liked to dance with knives and sticks, all of them went to the battlefield, and they all died on the battlefield.
The second son, Zheng Ping, followed his father to Jizhou for training since he was a child, and later died with his father under the iron cavalry of the Huns.
The third son, Zheng Tai, was also in Jizhou, as a partial general, like Zhou Sheng, fought against the Khitans all the year round, and died at the hands of the Khitans a few years ago.
The youngest son Zheng Hai went to Yangzhou Wu County as a guard, last year the Oriental Japanese invaded Yangzhou frequently, Wu County bore the brunt, Zheng Hai organized the army to fight with the Japanese invaders many times, but unfortunately in September last year, he died at the hands of the Japanese assassins.
Of the five fathers and sons, four died on the battlefield, which can be described as full of loyalty.
After Zheng Hai's death, the saint was deeply touched and directly promoted Zheng Heng's title from the Marquis of Dingxiang to the Duke of Dingxiang, in order to thank the Zheng family for their contributions, and the Zheng family went to a higher level.
Zheng Heng's brothers are the only ones who have sons, and the other three brothers have no sons, and they gave birth to a group of daughters, full of women and children, all of whom are taken care of by Zheng Heng.
It is not easy for the saint to read it, and he gave a place in the imperial village, ten thousand taels of gold, for the Zheng family to chew, and the grace of heaven is vast, which can be seen.
In addition, just after the New Year, Taifu Lin Yong personally wrote a letter, saying that Zheng Heng had the talent of the world and could be reused, and Shengshang then promoted Zheng Heng, who was originally in the Ministry of Rites, to the Ministry of Rites and served as the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, acting as Han Guang's deputy.
In this way, everyone can see that Zheng Heng has a bright future.
The Ministry of Rites is the head of the six ministries, and it is customary to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites before entering the cabinet.
The people in the cabinet are the real leaders of the hundred officials, the prime minister, the captain, and the imperial historian, who are responsible for different important matters.
The prime minister assists the saint in handling political affairs, and at the same time manages hundreds of officials, the current prime minister is Lin Yong, the helmsman of the Lin family, and at the same time as the prime minister, he was crowned as the Taifu, so many people are called Lin Taifu.
The lieutenant is in charge of military and political affairs, and the current lieutenant is Lu Shiqing, the uncle of the Holy Lord.
The Imperial Historian was responsible for supervising the hundred officials, holding over the chapters of the whole ministers, and issuing the emperor's edicts.
The current imperial envoy Tang Zhifeng is old and will be about to give office, and the next imperial envoy will be the current Ministry of Rites Shangshu Han Guang, which has long been tacit understanding among all parties.
Now Zheng Heng was recommended by Mrs. Lin and served as the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, not surprisingly, he will be the next secretary of the Ministry of Rites, which shows that the saint reuses Zheng Heng's heart, which is obvious.
For a while, there was a lot of traffic in front of Zheng's house, thinking about the relationship, and there were countless people who made friends.
But Zheng Heng had no intention of seeing guests, because his old mother was sick, and he missed his grandson Zheng Wentong who went to Jizhou to fight all day long.
Zheng Heng was very anxious and let out his words, if anyone can cure his mother's illness, he must be grateful, he is a dutiful son, it is not surprising to say so.
But his identity is not trivial, there are many people who want to slap him, and when he heard Zheng Heng release this, they all wanted to find a famous doctor to treat his mother's illness and give Zheng Heng a favor.
No, even the second prince Lu Xuandong was alarmed and found Li Wuchang.
It seems that Lu Xuandong's plan is not small, and he wants to use Li Wuchang's hand to build a good relationship with Zheng Heng, a potential stock.
"What does the Second Highness mean that the old lady of the Zheng family misses her grandson Zheng Wentong, and she doesn't think about tea and dinner, and wants me to go over and have a look?" Li Wuchang looked at Lu Xuandong and asked.
Lu Xuandong nodded.
"This is a heart disease, and you still need a heart medicine doctor, isn't it okay to call that Zheng Wentong back, how can you still need to look for a famous doctor everywhere?" Li Wuchang was very strange.
Lu Xuandong sighed and said, "It would be nice if it was really that simple." ”
After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "Do you know where Zheng Wentong is now?...... In fact, Zheng Wentong died under the knife of the Khitans as early as two years ago, and Zheng Heng has been blocking the news. ”
Everyone changed color at the same time.
And so it was.
Lu Xuandong continued: "I also knew by accident, all the generals in Chang'an have been asked by Zheng Heng to keep silent about this matter, I am afraid that the old lady will not be able to stand it after she knows it, you must know that Zheng Wentong is the top of the old lady's heart, if you know the truth, then it will be repaid, after my father and emperor knew about it, he also cooperated with Zheng Heng and pretended not to know." ”
Li Wufeng sighed: "I didn't expect Brother Zheng to go like this, I still want to compete with him again at the martial arts conference." ”
Zheng Wentong's martial arts are extremely high, and he is not under any of the "Five Sons of Chang'an", but when this title was first transmitted, Zheng Heng went to Jizhou, so he was not counted, otherwise the title would not be "Five Sons", but "Six Sons".
Guo Yunlei also sighed and said: "The Zheng family is full of loyalty, Zheng Wentong saw that the Khitan was becoming more and more rampant, so he took the initiative to invite Ying to go to the battlefield. I vaguely remember Brother Zheng's sharp knife technique, I couldn't take more than thirty knives in his hand at that time, I was really jealous of talent. ”
Li Wuchang was silent for a moment and said, "Second Highness, are you sure that the old lady doesn't know, after all, it has been two years since the incident, and there will always be some rumors." ”
Lu Xuandong shook his head and replied: "It shouldn't be, the old lady has a strong temperament, and the most painful thing is Zheng Wentong, if she knew the truth, she would never be so calm, besides, she also talked all day long asking Zheng Heng to call her grandson back, Zheng Heng persuaded her to come down, and lied to her that Zheng Wentong was in an urgent situation on the front line, and he couldn't go home, and he couldn't go home until the battle was over." ”
Li Wuchang nodded, indicating that he understood.
Lu Xuandong asked, "Is impermanence certain?"
After speaking, he looked at Li Wuchang deadly, for fear that Li Wuchang would say that he was not sure, in that case, how could he let Zheng Heng owe him a favor.
You must know that his eldest brother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Lu Xuanyi, also asked a doctor to treat Zheng Heng's mother, and I heard that he was a famous doctor in Luoyang City, but it had no effect.
Lu Xuandong values Zheng Heng very much and wants to have a good relationship with him very much, and this time is a major opportunity.
Li Wuchang Lu Xuandong stared at him, of course he knew what Lu Xuandong was thinking, he snorted and said, "Don't worry, give me some time, I want to find a way." ”
