"Chen Langjun, are you okay?" Xu Erniang's face was full of guilt, and she said a little cramped.

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

"I'm responsible, I'm responsible, and I'll pay for as much soup and medicine as I want!" Xu Erniang said solemnly: "I will sell the pot and sell iron!" ”

"Okay, I won't scare you!" Chen Ying smiled: "I'm fine!" You don't have to be responsible. I'm here to invest in your inn! ”

"Investment? Become a shareholder? Xu Erniang's face was full of doubts.

Chen Ying looked at Xu Erniang's appearance and didn't seem to understand very much, so he explained carefully: "Let me make an analogy, your store is worth 2,000 yuan, and I will give another 2,000 yuan, so that this store is equal to me and you, we each account for 50 percent, after expanding the business, the profits, we will also open 55!" ”

As soon as Chen Ying said this, Xu Erniang understood. However, Xu Erniang still shook her head resolutely and said, "This ...... I'm sorry, I don't have this intention! ”

"Shopkeeper Xu, don't think that I want to rob your inn!"

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

Looking at Xu Erniang's resolute face, Chen Ying is not too strong. After all, if Xu Erniang marries in the future, there will be no way for this store to continue to work together. Chen Ying sighed secretly, then he could only think of other ways.

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

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

"Lang Jun, is the matter over?"

Seeing Chen Ying come out of it, Ryazan greeted him and asked.

"Let's talk about it later!" Chen Ying boarded the carriage and sat opposite Ryazan.

Chen Ying glanced back at Xu Ji Inn, and said with a regretful face: "Originally, I wanted to cooperate with Xu Ji and use Xu Ji's shop to build a restaurant that only provides wine service to entertain guests from all over the world. Meet the Ranger Heroes, half price. You can not only barely operate, but also listen to the news from all directions......"

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

Maybe it won't be long before you can build a good reputation and make a lot of money. As long as you have money, everything is easy to do. He can become a timely rain Song Jiang-style character in order to help the rangers and gain fame, so as to recruit a group of thugs to shoot.

However, no matter how perfect the plan is, the implementation is not all smooth sailing. Chen Ying's plan was stillborn, so he could only think of another way. Suddenly, Chen Ying's gaze froze on Ryazan.

Ryazan was also inexplicably looked at by Chen Ying: "Lang Jun, you are ......"

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

Ryazan's head was full of doubts: "What underworld?" ”

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

"Forget it!" Ryazan said proudly: "Thanks to the love of the brothers, people give the nickname Desperate Saburo!" ”

"Yes, that's great!" Chen Ying said excitedly: "I'll give you a thousand, from today onwards, you only need to do one thing, and that is to spend money!" ”

"Spend money?"

"Yes, lavish spending! Befriend rangers, invite them to drink, invite them to dinner, and you can also invite them to play with women, but remember that you can't invite them to gamble. If you want to be friends with them, I want you to become a famous little Meng in Chang'an in just one month......"

Ryazan said with a bang: "This dare is good!" ”

Chen Ying did what he said, and after he went back, he asked Ryazan to take a box of copper coins to Qujiang Tower, a famous gold cave in Chang'an City, to be a fortune boy.

Chen Ying was talking to Lan'er without saying a word in the west wing, and suddenly received a message from the concierge that the prince was invited.

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

Bing Cao, the full name of Bing Cao joined the army, was one of the adjutants of Zhichong Prefecture, and was in charge of military orders and counselor military affairs. It is also called a division soldier to join the army, and it belongs to the same nature as the chief of staff in later generations, but it is not as powerful as the chief of staff.

"Humble to meet Captain Chen!"

Seeing Chen Ying coming, Li Renfang respectfully saluted Chen Ying.

"Li is exempt from joining the army!" After Chen Ying retorted, he was suddenly stunned, and said puzzledly: "Didn't General Ben take leave today?" There are some trivial matters at home today, is there still an urgent matter in the army? ”

Li Renfang said: "Return to the captain, on the order of the prince, please return to the camp!" ”

Chen Ying frowned and said, "Is there another war?" ”

"This ......," Li Renfang squeaked.

Chen Ying knew at a glance that this Li Renfang was a real person and would not tell lies. Chen Ying beckoned, and the maid Nannan trotted over. Chen Ying reached out and took Nannan's little hand, and slowly wrote a silver judgment in her hand. Then he said to Nannan: "Don't go to tea yet!" ”

Nannan rolled his eyes, nodded heavily, and said, "The slave understands!" ”

It didn't take long for Nannan to enter with two cups of tea. first held a cup to Chen Ying with both hands, and then held another cup to Li Renfang.

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

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

"Satisfied, satisfied." Li Renfang pretended to drink tea, blocked the teacup 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 and said: "Li joined the army, Chen Mou first arrived in Xun Erfu, and there are still many places that he is not very familiar with, I don't know what the prince is talking about this time?" If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince waits to ask, Chen Ying can't answer, it's not just Chen Ying who is embarrassed, but also on behalf of our Xun Erfu! ”

Don't look at Chen Ying only gave Li Renfang five taels of silver, in fact, this money is not low for Li Renfang. The price of goods in the Tang Dynasty was very low, in the Tang Dynasty Taizong Zhenguan years, a bucket of rice only needed five wen, and to the Qing Dynasty the same weight of rice required about 130 wen to 280 wen, Kangxi 47 years of the Yellow River flooded, the price of grain in the two capitals and thirteen provinces rose to more than 800 wen a bucket. The government soldiers of the Tang Dynasty did not have a salary, but a seven-grade soldier like Li Renfang joined the army, and his income included 75 stones of grain and 350 acres of vocational land. The legal income for a year is about 450 stones, which is equivalent to 22 yuan and 500 yuan. The five taels of silver that Chen Ying gave were about equal to his income in one quarter, which was converted into almost 35,000 yuan.

There is a way to take people with short hands and eat people with soft mouths.

Li Renfang pondered for a moment and said: "What is the specific matter, I don't know much about my humble position!" But...... The leader of the Qiang tribe gathered thousands of troops to rebel, went straight to Hanchuan, rushed to the state and hit the mansion, plundered and burned everywhere he passed, and did all kinds of evil. Shizhou was in an emergency, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned General Chen at this time, thinking that he was here to discuss counterinsurgency. ”

Note: In the first year of Wude, the rebellion of the Qiang leader Bian Qidi occurred in late November, and in mid-December, the Qiang leader was eliminated by Mrs. Chongyi. Due to the needs of the plot, it is slightly advanced, this book is not a canonical history, so you don't have to be more serious.
