Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 43

"Mr. Chen, are you okay?" Erniang Xu said with a face full of guilt, a little embarrassed.

"Of course there is something, it's bleeding!" Chen Ying said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "You are responsible for others!"

"I'm in charge, I'm in charge, I'll pay for all the soup and medicine!" Xu Erniang said solemnly, "I'll pay for everything!"

"Okay, I won't scare you anymore!" Chen Ying said with a smile: "I'm fine! You don't need to be responsible. I'm here this time to invest in your inn!"

"Investment? Shareholding?" Xu Erniang was full of doubts.

Seeing Xu Erniang's appearance, Chen Ying didn't seem to understand, so she explained carefully: "Let me make an analogy, your store is worth two thousand guan, and I will pay another two thousand guan. In this way, this store is equal to me and you. We each take [-] percent, and after expanding our operations, we will split [-]/[-] of the profits we get!"

When Chen Ying said this, Xu Erniang understood.However, Erniang Xu shook her head resolutely and said, "This... I'm really sorry, I have no such plan!"

"Shopkeeper Xu, don't preconceive that I want to steal your inn!"

"Chen Langjun, you also misunderstood!" Xu Erniang hesitated for a moment, then said slowly: "This inn is my only dowry."

Seeing Xu Erniang's resolute face, Chen Ying didn't want to be too forceful.After all, if Erniang Xu gets married in the future, there will be no way for this shop to continue as a partnership.Chen Ying secretly sighed, then he had to think of other ways.

Xu Erniang really wanted to say: "As long as you marry me, this shop is yours!" Seeing Chen Ying leave with regret, Xu Erniang opened her mouth, and finally let Chen Ying leave slowly.

Xu Erniang is already married for the second time. She has extremely low self-esteem and feels that she is not worthy of Chen Ying.Looking at the back of Chen Ying leaving slowly, hot tears rolled out of his eyes, and there was a kind of helplessness when he hated not being married when he was not married.

"My lord, are you done?"

Seeing Chen Ying coming out, Liang Zan came up to him and asked.

"Let's talk when we get back!" Chen Ying boarded the carriage and sat opposite Liang Zan.

Chen Ying glanced back at Xu Ji's inn, and said with regret: "Originally, I wanted to cooperate with Xu Ji and use Xu Ji's shop to build a restaurant that only serves drinks and entertain guests from all over the world. Half-price rewards. You can barely manage it, and you can also get news from all directions..."

In Chen Ying's plan, he planned to cooperate with Xu Erniang to renovate the Xu Ji Inn and turn it into a restaurant.Accommodation services are no longer provided.I know the cooking methods of the later generations. Although I am not an excellent chef, I can at least win the novelty in the Tang Dynasty, seize the market, and develop and grow.

Perhaps it won't take long to establish a good reputation and make a lot of money.As long as you have money, everything is easy to handle.He can become a timely and Song Jiang-style character to help the Rangers, gain a good reputation, and recruit a bunch of thugs.

However, no matter how perfect the plan is, the implementation is not smooth sailing.Chen Ying's plan was stillborn, so he could only think of another way.Suddenly Chen Ying's eyes fixed on Liang Zan.

Liang Zan was also inexplicably seen by Chen Ying: "Lang Jun, you are..."

Chen Yingdao: "You said you were the head of the underworld in Jingyang?"

Liang Zan was full of doubts: "What underworld?"

Chen Ying explained: "It's not a ranger!"

"Forget it!" Liang Zan said proudly, "Thanks to the love from my brothers, I was given the nickname Desperate Saburo!"

"Okay, that's great!" Chen Ying said excitedly: "I'll give you a thousand guan. From today on, you only need to do one thing, which is to spend money!"

"Spend money?"

"Yes, spend money lavishly! Specially make friends with rangers, invite them to drink, treat them to dinner, and you can also invite them to play with women, but remember you can't invite them to gamble. To be friends with them, I want you Within a month, become the famous Xiao Mengchang in Chang'an..."

Liang Zan was gearing up and said, "It's a good feeling!"

Chen Ying did what he said, and when he returned, he asked Liang Zan to take a box of copper coins to the famous Qujiang Tower in Chang'an City to become a money-scattering boy.

Chen Ying kept talking with Lan'er in the west wing room, and suddenly received a notice from the concierge that the prince had an invitation.

Chen Ying came to the front hall to take a look, only to find that it was actually Cao Li Renfang, a soldier of Xun Erfu.

Bingcao, the full name of Bingcao Canjun, is one of the assistant officials of the Zhechong Mansion.It is also called Si Bing joining the army, which is of the same nature as the chief of staff of later generations, but it does not have as much power as the chief of staff.

"Meet the humble Duwei Chen!"

Seeing Chen Ying's arrival, Li Renfang saluted Chen Ying respectfully.

"Li joins the army without courtesy!" After Chen Ying retorted, he was taken aback for a moment, and said in puzzlement, "Didn't this general ask for leave today? There are some trivial matters at home today. Is there any urgent matter in the army?"

Li Renfang said: "Report to the captain, and under the order of the prince, please return to the camp!"

Chen Ying frowned and said, "Are there going to be wars again?"

"This..." Li Renfang murmured.

Chen Ying knew at a glance that this Li Renfang was a real person and would not tell lies.Chen Yingzhao waved, and the maid Nan Nan trotted over.Chen Ying stretched out his hand to hold Nan Nan's little hand, and slowly wrote a silver sentence in her hand.Then he said to Nan Nan: "Don't go to serve tea yet!"

Nan Nan rolled his eyes, nodded heavily and said, "Your servant understands!"

After a short time, Nan Nan entered with two cups of tea.He first held a cup with both hands and handed it to Chen Ying, and then held another cup to Li Renfang.

Li Renfang didn't care at all, and immediately lifted the tea cover.It was found that there was not a drop of water in the teacup, but a silver sentence weighing about five taels.

"Why are you not satisfied with the tea in Chen's house?" Chen Ying looked at Li Renfang with a half-smile and said, "Li Canjun is not satisfied with Chen's tea?"

"Satisfied, satisfied." Li Renfang pretended to drink tea, covered the cup with his sleeve, and quietly put the silver plate in his sleeve.

Chen Ying showed a playful smile, stared at Li Renfang with a smile on his face and said: "Li Canjun, when Chen first arrived in the Xuner Mansion, there are still many places he is not familiar with. I don't know what the prince is talking about this time? If His Royal Highness asks later, Chen Ying can't answer, it's not just Chen Ying who is ashamed, but also our Xun Erfu!"

Regardless of the fact that Chen Ying only gave Li Renfang five taels of silver, in fact this money is not low for Li Renfang.Prices in the Tang Dynasty were very low. During the Zhenguan period of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, a bucket of rice cost only five renminbi, while in the Qing Dynasty, the same weight of rice cost about 130 to 280 renminbi. In the 47th year of Kangxi, the Yellow River flooded. The price of food in the province has risen to more than 800 Wen a bucket.The government soldiers in the Tang Dynasty had no salary, but those who joined the army with the seventh rank like Li Renfang had a salary. His salary included 75 shi of salary and 350 acres of land.One year's legal income is about 450 shi, which is equivalent to 22 pennies and 5000 shi.The five taels of silver that Chen Ying sent was about equal to his quarterly income, which was about [-] yuan when converted into RMB.

There is a saying that people are short-handed and soft-mouthed when eating people.

Li Renfang pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know exactly what happened! However... the leaders of the Qiang tribe gathered thousands of people to rebel, went straight to Hanchuan, rushed to the state, and plundered and burned wherever they passed. Shizhou is in a hurry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites General Chen at this time, presumably to discuss counter-insurgency matters."

Note: In the first year of Wude, the rebellion of Pangqidi, the leader of the Qiang nationality, occurred in late November, and Pangqidi was wiped out by Mrs. Chongyi in mid-December.Due to the needs of the plot, it is slightly advanced. This book is not an official history, so you don't have to take it seriously.
