Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

Zhang Dun looked at Li Er, and Li Er laughed angrily. If he hadn't lost his temper in front of Zhang Dun, he would have scolded Li Jing long ago.

Seeing Li Er nodding, Zhang Dun continued: "That's the decision. You recruit my second uncle to pay for it. In addition, you are responsible for driving out all the things on the paper I gave you."

Zhang Dun pointed to Duan Lun and said.

Duan Lun said briskly, "No problem."

"Then what are we doing?" Li Daozong and Dou Lukuan asked in unison.

Chapter 59 Arranged by Zhang Dun, the four major ministers work together

Zhang Dun looked at Dou Lukuan and said, "You should have a lot of friends who dance and write, right? Your task is to select some famous articles, both short and long, and then give them to him, so that he can engrave them when he is making them." go up!"

Dou Lukuan nodded and said, "This is simple."

All the officials of the Ministry of Rites are well-educated people. Isn't it easy to choose famous articles?

Zhang Dun looked at Li Daozong again, and said: "What you say is to gather all your cronies and friends together, and when someone goes to those shops to make trouble, you will be responsible for beating them! This is also to prevent people with five surnames and seven wangs from jumping over the wall in a hurry .”

Li Daozong was taken aback, the people in my Ministry of Punishment, why did you become my friend?When word spreads, you will be the first to be beaten!

But under Li Er's stare, Li Daozong pinched his nose, coughed lightly and nodded.

"By the way, Second Uncle." Zhang Dun looked at Li Er and asked, "You must choose a safe place for the manufacture of department stores. We can't let the five surnames and Qiwang take over our lair."

Li Er said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, even if they have 1 guts, they dare not do anything."

That is!The four ministers said silently in their hearts, the government office of the Ministry of Industry is in the imperial city, if the five surnames Qiwang really dare to go, it is a rebellion!

"In that case, let's do it!"

Zhang Dun looked at the crowd solemnly and said: "This matter must not be sloppy at all, especially when manufacturing, there must be enough manpower, 24 hours a day, continuous rotation, as much as can be produced, and the words engraved on it It must be clear, so that others can see it when they see it!"

"I'm good at this!" Duan Lun said with a smile.

Dou Lukuan stroked his beard, smiled and said, "I'm also good at famous novels."

Li Er looked at Zhang Dun and said, "I'll take them back first, and after the first batch is finished, I'll send them over to you."

"Second Uncle Lao is here." Zhang Dun cupped his hands and said.

"One family, don't talk about two families." Li Er patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and then left Yongyang Fang with Li Jing, Li Daozong, Dou Lukuan, and Duan Lun.

As soon as he returned to the palace, Li Er's face was full of calm and prestige. He stared back at the four ministers, and said in a deep voice, "Remember, just do what Zhang Dun said, and do it well!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty!" Li Jing, Li Daozong, Dou Lukuan, and Duan Lun nodded solemnly, and then returned to their respective mansions.

Ministry of Industry, as soon as Duan Lun came back, he saw the minister of the Ministry of Industry, dragged him and said, "Minister Zhao, call all the officials of the Ministry of Industry over immediately!"

"No!" Seeing Duan Lun's solemn expression, the minister of the Ministry of Industry thought that something serious had happened, so he hurriedly clapped his hands in response.

Soon, hundreds of officials from the Ministry of Industry gathered in the lobby of the government office.

"What happened?"

"I do not know!"

While discussing in low voices, everyone looked at Duan Lun.

"Silence!" Duan Lun shouted loudly, glanced at everyone and said: "Listen up, from now on, all the people in the Ministry of Industry, etc., let me put down all the government affairs in my hands, and let me concentrate on doing a job thing!"

As he said that, Duan Lun took out a stack of papers from his sleeve, handed it to the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and said in a deep voice: "Master Zhao, this matter is in the main, and you are the assistant. You have to implement what is entrusted to you." !"

The minister of the Ministry of Industry took the paper in confusion, looked down, his expression changed drastically, and he shouted loudly: "Isn't this the method of making Zuixianlou Department Store?"

Hearing this, hundreds of officials of the Ministry of Industry were shocked, and they looked at the stack of papers in the hands of the minister of the Ministry of Industry in disbelief.

The department stores in Zuixianlou, the government office of the Ministry of Industry, have been studying them for the past few days, and they can all see that the value contained in these department stores is extraordinary.

But what makes the officials of the Ministry of Industry helpless is that Zuixianlou Department Store is too special, and there is no way to copy it if you think about it.

But now, his own Shangshu has brought back all the Zuixianlou department stores!

Seeing everyone's shock and joy, Duan Lun waved his hands and said, "Don't ask any unnecessary questions, these are not things you can ask, just remember, from today onwards, everyone in the Ministry of Industry is not allowed to ask questions." Leaving the Ministry of Industry, all food and lodging will be left in the government office!"

"Your task, and my task, are the same, that is, to manufacture all the Zuixianlou department stores!"

Someone asked: "Duan Shangshu, how many do you want to make?"

"The more the better!" Duan Lun said solemnly.

A group of officials from the Ministry of Industry looked at each other, then cupped their hands and said in unison: "No!"

……

In the Ministry of War, after Li Jing came back with a solemn expression, he called the Minister of the Ministry of War over, and said in a deep voice, "Go and gather 1000 people for this officer. Remember, these people must be reliable!"

The Minister of the Ministry of War was surprised and said: "Mobilize 1000 people to Chang'an? Li Shangshu, what is this for? You must not do stupid things!"

"Don't think about it." Li Jing waved his hand and said, "These 1000 people are used as coolies."

"???" The Minister of the Ministry of War was even more shocked, "Our people in the Ministry of War are doing coolies?"

Li Jing said in a deep voice, "Don't ask so many questions, just do something!"

"No!" Although he was full of doubts, but Li Shangshu had already spoken, how could he not obey, the Minister of the Ministry of War bite the bullet and clasped his fists.

……

The Ministry of Rites, Dou Lukuan returned to the government office, and called the people from the Ministry of Rites to gather together.

"Take out all the ink in your belly and write it on paper. This old man will be of great use!"

Hearing Dou Lukuan's voice, everyone was puzzled, and some couldn't help but ask, "Shangshu Doulu, what happened? Why did you do this?"

"Your Majesty has an order." Dou Lukuan glanced at the bewildered crowd, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty said that you must tell the world about your talents!"

Hearing this, the people in the Ministry of Rites were even more fascinated. It's so good, how could your majesty have such an idea?But this idea is also a good thing, to educate the people, the way of a wise king!

"No!" The ministers of the Ministry of Rites nodded one after another.

Not long after, sheets of paper filled with handwriting were sent out of the Ministry of Rites and forwarded to the Ministry of Industry.

And the people from the Ministry of Industry kept making Zuixianlou department stores, and at the same time, according to Duan Lun's instructions, each item was engraved with words from the hands of the Minister of Rites.

……

As soon as the young and energetic Li Daozong came back from the Ministry of Punishment, he called all the officials from the Ministry of Punishment to the lobby of the government office.

Sitting in the lobby, Li Daozong closed his eyes and meditated, without saying a word.

The officials of the Ministry of Punishment who were called looked at their own ministers in a daze.

After a long time, seeing that Li Daozong was still speechless, someone said cautiously: "Li Shangshu, why did you call the lower officials over?"

Li Daozong slowly opened his eyes, and said in an unhurried tone: "Wait, wait for the news from above. As soon as the news arrives, you will follow the official to arrest people!"

Hearing this, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment looked serious, knowing that Li Daozong didn't want the news to leak out, so they kept silent and sat quietly in the lobby of the government office, waiting with Li Daozong.

Chapter 60 The imperial court exerted all its strength to help Zhang Dun

In Ganlu Hall, Li Er, and the Empress Changsun, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui whom Li Junxian called back, all remained silent.

Regarding the news that the four great ministers were taken to Zhang Dun's house by Li Er, Empress Changsun, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui already knew about it, and they also agreed with Li Er's arrangement.

"The four ministers have already gone back to the government office to prepare."

Li Er tapped the table with his fingers, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Dun has a good saying, to prevent those seven old guys from jumping over the wall in a hurry."

"Guanyin maidservant, you, Xuanling, and Keming will be sitting in Zuixianlou for the past two days. With you here, the side of Zuixianlou will not be implicated."

Empress Changsun nodded and said: "Second brother, don't worry, I know what to do."

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui cupped their hands and said, "I understand."

Li Er exhaled a long breath, looking at the gradually darkening sky outside the hall, hoping that Zhang Dun's method would not cause any more trouble.

At this time, Zhang Dun came to Zuixian Tower and told Hu Guang the final arrangement.

Hu Guang's expression was dull when he heard it, and he didn't recover for a long time. After a long time, he said in a trembling voice: "Brother Zhang, you mean to sell Zuixianlou? Our Zuixianlou is now the chicken that lays golden eggs. It is not advisable to kill the chicken to extract the eggs."

"It's not really for sale." Zhang Dun patiently explained: "It's to post the news that Zuixianlou is going to be sold, to confuse the five surnames and seven people."

"That's good." Hu Guang breathed a sigh of relief, and then said solemnly: "Then listen to you, we will do what you say, and I will fully support you."

Zhang Dun smiled, and traveled back to Datang, besides Li Changzhi, he was the second one who could fully support him.

Holding the title deed of the Zuixian building given by Hu Guang, Zhang Dun first came to Yaxing, and handed over the deed to the other party under the shocked expression of the people in Yaxing.

As for the price, Zhang Dun only said that he asked the dentist to find a buyer first, and then the buyer communicated with Hu Guang.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Dun went to the forging shops in various squares and cities in Chang'an City, and he searched for all the forging shops that could be connected with department stores.

"It should be almost there." After working until the curfew was about to come, Zhang Dun let out a breath, then looked in the direction of Cui's mansion in Boling, Chongrenfang, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

In two more days, two days later, look at you arrogant old guys, how can you go crazy in front of yourself like you did on the first day!

The next morning.

In Yongyangfang, Zhang Dun just woke up, and after washing up, he heard someone knocking on the door.

"Zhang Dun, Second Uncle is here!"

A friendly and familiar voice sounded outside the gate. Zhang Dun opened the door and saw Li Er smiling all over his face, leading Li Jing, Li Daozong, Dou Lukuan, and Duan Lun to stand at the door.

Zhang Dun just remembered that he didn't know the names of these four people, so he asked, "Second Uncle, what do you call them?"

"What do you do if you know their names? They are handymen! Just do what you want." Li Er said with a smile, but he was silently slandering in his heart. If you knew the names of my four ministers, wouldn't you be revealing yourself?

Don't we deserve names!Li Jing, Li Daozong, Dou Lukuan, and Duan Lun looked at Li Er quietly.

But I also understand that Li Er did this to hide Zhang Dun's true identity.

The four of them are a little depressed, what are you doing without telling him, just admit it generously, can Zhang Dun not work for the court?

Instead, he got the name of the second uncle, which is close to Zhang Dun, which is not at all like Li Er's usual personality.

The four of them only thought about these words in their hearts, but they didn't say them out. Anyway, they did what Li Er asked them to do.

Zhang Dun nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and changed the subject: "Second Uncle, how are the preparations going?"

"Look." Li Er turned sideways, revealing the bullock cart behind him.

Zhang Dun was taken aback. At his door, there were endless ox carts, and each ox cart was full of goods.

And around the bullock cart, there were a thousand burly men standing.

Those big men were dressed in civilian clothes, and the tendons on their arms were exposed in the air, giving people a sense of nothing to approach.

"So many goods?" Zhang Dun was surprised.

The department store in Zuixianlou is not complicated to manufacture, but if you want to increase the number, you must have more people.

Just looking at the goods pulled by these bullock carts, it is impossible to do without hundreds of people working at the same time.

Duan Lun raised his chin proudly. If he couldn't even do this, wouldn't the Ministry of Industry be a joke?

Zhang Dun looked up and down the thousand big men covered in sinews, looked at Li Jing with strange eyes, and said, "Where did you get these people?"

Li Jing laughed and said: "As long as you give me money, who can't find it?"

"Didn't you spend less money?" Zhang Dun looked at Li Er.

In fact, no money is needed... Li Er said silently in his heart, but nodded with a smile on his face.

"Everything is ready, it can be done!"

Seeing that the manpower and goods are all ready, Zhang Dun nodded in satisfaction and said, "Let's deliver the goods to the people in West Market!"

Li Er hummed, looked at the four ministers and said, "You four don't go."

When I delivered the goods with Zhang Dun yesterday, the seven housekeepers from the Qiwang mansion with five surnames were all there.

They have never seen the emperor, and they cannot recognize Li Er's identity, but if the four ministers go, they will easily reveal their secrets.

Li Jing, Li Daozong, Dou Lukuan and Duan Lun also understood and nodded.

Zhang Dun looked at Li Er with some confusion, the four were just doing odd jobs, couldn't they help in the past.

Zhang Dun didn't care about Li Er's arrangement. He took Li Er and a thousand big men and drove towards the West Market in a bullock cart that couldn't see the end.

"So many goods?"

"Zhang Langjun, you really belong to me!"
