Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Recently, Jiang Laofa has been a little melancholy.

And what made him so melancholy was the restaurant named Changyilou opposite. Since the opening of Changyilou, he has personally experienced the food and service in the store, and he has clearly realized that it is absolutely impossible for Yixiaolou itself to defeat Changyilou. If the situation is allowed to continue as it is now, it will only end up lingering, struggling to operate and even going bankrupt.

Therefore, he immediately asked for help from the owner behind him. It is difficult to admit that you are incompetent, and it may even cause dissatisfaction, but as a qualified subordinate, you still have to consider the problem from the most fundamental starting point of the master, rather than overthinking your own gains and losses.

Inform the superiors of the bad situation as early as possible and let them prepare early. This is the most important thing for a subordinate to do when he finds that things have exceeded his ability.

Yixiao Building can occupy the position of the first building in Chang'an steadily for such a long time, it is because of Jiang Laofa's careful handling of related affairs for so many years. Of course, the more important reason is that the behind-the-scenes owner of Yixiaolou is capable of handling all troubles.

Because, it is Lu Shi, Fan Yang Lu Shi.

After Jiang Laofa reported the relevant matter to the above, soon, the above sent a deacon to Chang'an to deal with the matter. Upon receiving this news, Jiang Laofa breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought that the deacon would come in person, and it shouldn't be a problem to solve a small long first floor. There are already too many examples of this.

There used to be quite a few restaurants that almost threatened the position of Yixiaolou, but they all disappeared in the end, either ended in disgrace, or were swallowed by Yixiaolou and became a part of it.

Time has passed so long that Jiang Laofa doesn't even remember the names of these restaurants.

However, this time, things did not go as Jiang Laofa thought.

The family deacon who came was named Lu Chuanchuan. He was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was fat and looked like he lacked exercise. After he arrived in Chang'an, he immediately mobilized all the forces that Lu's planted in Chang'an, and conducted a detailed investigation of the first floor of Chang'an.

Before making a move, of course, you must first see what kind of character the opponent is. This is prudence rather than timidity.

When the investigation results came out, Jiang Laofa was dumbfounded.

It turns out that the owner behind Changyilou is the king of Chu, Li Xin! Moreover, Lu Guogong's Cheng family, Yi Guogong's Qin family, and Zhongshu Ling's Chen family also have shares!

Jiang Laofa couldn't help secretly thanking Lu Chuanxi for being cautious. If he didn't conduct an investigation first but directly used some means against Chang Yilou, wouldn't that be equivalent to directly confronting the four Guanlong nobles? Although the Lu family is powerful, their influence in Guanzhong is relatively limited, at least not to the extent that they can deal with four Guanlong nobles at the same time, not to mention that one of the so-called Guanlong nobles is a serious royal family.

So, the two looked at each other and discussed long-term plans for a long time, but in the end they only came to one conclusion: they still have to discuss long-term plans.

However, one thing is certain. For the Lu family, the Yixiao Building in Chang'an is a very important fortress, and it can bring a lot of income to the Lu family every year. It is a position that must not be easily given up. Of course, it's really not worth facing four difficult Guanlong nobles for it.

But then again, no one said that to deal with the first floor, you must deal with the four families behind it, right? If we can come up with an ingenious way to divide them, the game may not be unsolvable.

Jiang Laofa reached an agreement with Lu Faxing on this point.

Unexpectedly, the next day, when Mr. Jiang came to Lu Faxing's residence to talk to him about something, he found that he had fallen ill, his forehead was terribly hot, and he was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, groaning and uttering a complete sentence. No words can come out.

A boy in a gray gown was standing by Lu Chuanxuan's side. He took the initiative to explain to Jiang Laofa: "I started to have a fever in the middle of the night yesterday. I have invited a doctor to come over for treatment in the morning. He said that the road is bumpy, the body is weak and weak, so that wind evil enters the body and the five elements are out of balance, causing high fever."

"Did the doctor prescribe medicine? How many days will it take to recover?" Jiang Laofa asked anxiously.

The young man replied: "The medicine has been prescribed. It is only said that it will recover in three to five days."

Jiang Laofa was a little disappointed. He knew very well that with every extra day of delay, Changyilou's status in people's hearts would be higher, and it would therefore be more difficult to deal with. He tried to talk to Lu Fax, but Lu Fax kept his eyes closed and couldn't answer.

In desperation, Jiang Laofa sighed.

Only then did he turn his attention to the young man beside him.

"You are?" he asked.

The corners of the boy's eyes twitched, and he raised his lips and smiled, "My name is Lu Zheng, and I'm Uncle Lu's nephew."

Jiang Laofa didn't expect that the young man in front of him turned out to be a genuine Lu family son, so he immediately took a step back, bowed his body and said, "I don't know if Mr. Lu was in front of him. The villain was impatient just now, and I hope Mr. Lu will forgive me for being rude."

Lu Zheng waved his hand, smiled indifferently, and said: "What kind of son is not a son, but he is just a concubine, and he will be a family deacon at most in the future. You don't have to be so nervous."
