Chapter 837 Zhao Gongcun

"Young Master! Young Master! Fighting!" Liu Cheng hurriedly ran from the outside and shouted loudly to Liu Yiuan, who was basking in the backyard chair, "The fight has started on the northwest border. Now it's going crazy outside, saying that the Tang army lost two cities in a row!"

"The borders of the two countries have long been together," he looked at Liu Cheng with half-squinted eyes. Liu Yi closed his eyes and said indifferently, "It's a matter of time before the fight is done. Is it worth your excitement?"

"Besides," Liu Yi said: "This matter has nothing to do with us ordinary people. As long as it does not affect our Liu family's business, everything will be fine."

There is no airtight wall in this world, so Liu Yiuan was not surprised by the news brought by Liu Cheng. In fact, it was already a bit surprising to Liu Yiu that the situation of war in the northwest reached the lower class after reporting to Chang'an. He did not expect that the confidentiality measures during the Tang Dynasty had reached such a high level.

"Why is there no connection?" Liu Cheng took out the account book he had been holding in his arms in dissatisfaction, and said to their boss with pride: "Young Master, look, this is the order given to our Liu family by the Ministry of Revenue in the past two days. Just for instant noodles, it costs one million boxes at a time. How can it be said that the transaction of hundreds of thousands of yuan is not relevant?"

"One million boxes?" He opened his eyes again. Liu Yi looked up at Liu Cheng in surprise. Are you kidding? One million boxes are enough for 40 million packs, which is enough for a unit of 100,000 people to eat for half a year. The Ministry of Revenue has ordered so much. Could it be that Li Ji and the others want to treat instant noodles as food rations?

"Yeah!" Liu Cheng nodded affirmatively. In fact, even he himself couldn't believe that the court would swallow a share of one million boxes as soon as they opened their mouths. This was the largest order they received since their creation of instant noodles. The hundreds of thousands of chunks of taxis were much more cost-effective than selling grain directly.

"Is there so much spot in the warehouse?" He was not blinded by the huge profits in front of him. After feeling that this should not be a trap or a joke, Liu asked Liu Cheng in a faint voice. If instant noodles have always been so popular, I believe that the 300,000 dan of rice donated before the New Year will be able to be regained soon.

"There is only 100,000 boxes of inventory." Liu Cheng did not have any concerns and said to their boss: "However, the contract does not require that it be prepared at one time, as long as our chamber of commerce can provide 100,000 boxes per month."

"If you hire some more people and make it overnight," Liu Cheng said carefully, and looked up at their young master and said softly: "The share of 100,000 boxes per month can be easily completed."

"Well," Liu Yi nodded suddenly. A bamboo box of forty bags was ordered, and a hundred thousand boxes was four million bags. With all the raw materials sufficient, the output of four million bags per month was not a lot.

"Young Master, Your Highness King Jin is looking for a meeting outside!" At this time, the butler Liu Wuchen came from the front yard, bowed and bowed to Liu, handed over the things he held in his hand, and said softly: "This is the famous note handed over by Your Highness King Jin, please check it out."

"Famous post?" Liu Yi was stunned. Where did a child who was underage come from? Liu Yi frowned slightly, and thought secretly in his heart. Could it be that Zhinu, the kid, had moved out of the palace and established his own door?

"He came alone?" Playing with the dark red square paper in his hand, Liu Yi looked up and asked Liu Wuchen softly.

"King of Jin Li Zhi", red paper, golden characters, and tangible in all directions. Such things like business cards are not only used for communication and display by people with a certain status and status, but also a characteristic is that people with famous posts are either the head of the family or the famous scholars of the country. No matter how bad they are, they must have a formal name or official title.

Now, Li Zhi suddenly took out such a famous post to visit, respect, and formally, but also told himself that he had left the palace and officially named King Jin, and was no longer the little brat who had been around the queen's butt before.

"Reply to the young master," Liu Wuchen replied in a voice: "There is a one-armed man named Zhao next to His Highness the King of Jin. He is the housekeeper of the King of Jin's mansion. It seems that His Highness the King of Jin respects him quite much."

"A one-armed man? And his surname is Zhao?" Liu Yi's heart moved and he couldn't help but think of a small person who was not very eye-catching in history.

Zhao Gongcun, in order to guard a county warehouse with less than ten cents of copper coins, was killed by Turkic soldiers. Later, he was valued by Li Shimin and sent to the Prince of Jin's Mansion. The reason why Li Zhi could laugh last among all the princes was that Zhao Gongcun made great contributions.

There are not many records of this person in history books. He has no official position, no power for a while, and has never even had real wealth. For example, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and other counselors, he is a little pitiful. Few people in later generations can remember his existence. If they had not watched a TV series about Li Zhisheng, Liu Yidu would not have remembered such a one-arm loyal and righteous person.

"Let them go to the front hall first," Liu Yiuan raised his head and ordered Liu Wuchen: "Should you like good tea and water, and wait until I change my clothes before meeting you."

"Yes, young master." After a while, Liu Wuchen turned around and left, and went to the front yard to greet the guests.

"Young Master, do you think of this instant noodles?" Seeing that their young master was going to receive distinguished guests, Liu Cheng asked softly on the side with some hesitation. After all, it was a business of hundreds of thousands of yuan, and many things in recruiting people and stocking cannot be delayed, so despite the inappropriateness, Liu Cheng couldn't help but ask.

"Follow the last time Mianfang recruits people, and go to the county town and several surrounding villages to recruit more." Liu Yiu stood up and whispered to Liu Cheng: "Bamboo boxes and paper bags continue to be purchased from other chambers of commerce. As long as the pastry can be made in time, other things cannot be considered a problem. You will be fully responsible for this matter."

"Yes, Young Master!" Finally, waiting for the result he wanted most, Liu Cheng said excitedly: "Don't worry, Young Master, Cheng Ding will do his best to handle all the affairs thoroughly and neatly, and live up to the entrusted master."

"Okay, let's do it now." Liu nodded slightly, and Liu Yi said to send Liu Cheng down, walked towards the bedroom, preparing to change into a new set of clothes. No matter what, Li Zhi made the matter so formal and even threw in famous posts. He, a master, can't be too casual, right?

Also, although Zhao Gongcun's statement was not revealed, he was considered a character. After all, Liu Yiu didn't want to leave any bad impression on him for the first time.

After half a cup of tea, when Liu Yi was tidying up and arrived at the front hall, Li Zhi and Zhao Gongcun had been waiting in the front hall for a long time.

Li Zhi sat down, and Zhao Gongcun stood with his back, looking at Zhao Gongcun, not tall, slightly thin, his right arm was missing from his arms, but looking at his face, there was no trace of decadent and listless expression, his face was firm, his eyes were full of energy, and his whole body looked energetic.

After some politeness, both sides took a seat. Liu Yiu thought he was a teacher and sat in the head. Although Li Zhi was the prince, he had to sit next to him. As for Zhao Gongcun, who had been standing behind Li Zhi, he didn't even say a word and stood silently behind Li Zhi.

"What is this?" After sitting down, seeing that Li Zhi did not introduce Zhao Gongcun's intention, Liu Yi had to speak first, and looked at Zhao Gongcun and asked Li Zhi for a while.

"Sir, you must have guessed it," Li Zhixiao bowed to Liu Yiu like a little man, and said, "After the end of the year, the students have moved out of the palace and lived alone in the King of Jin's mansion in the west city of Chang'an. This Mr. Zhao is a housekeeper arranged by his father for the students."

"The villain Zhao Gongcun, I have met Mr. Liu!" Zhao Gongcun, who had not wanted to speak out, was pointed at Liu Yi, and asked him out loud. He had to stand up from time to time and bend down to greet Liu Yi.

"Mr. Zhao is polite!" Liu Yi stood up and returned the gift to show respect. He looked up at Zhao Gongcun and said Zheng Sheng: "Mr. Zhao's name has also been heard before. He is loyal and loyal to his duties and never retreats without retreating, which is for loyalty and righteousness!"

"Hmm?" After hearing Liu Yi's words, Zhao Gongcun was shocked. He never thought that he, an unknown young man who had been silent for nearly ten years, had fallen into Liu Yi's heart. He actually knew him?!

Is it a coincidence, or has he investigated his identity long ago? Zhao Gongcun couldn't help but feel a little surprised. If it were a coincidence, it would be better. If it were the latter, Liu Yi was so careful and deliberately exploring His Highness and himself, what was his thought?

"Mr. Liu's praise is already ten years ago. Even the villain is about to forget it. I don't expect Mr. Liu to remember it." Zhao Gongcun leaned over and said to Liu Yi with a slight bow.

"Haha," seeing the doubts in Zhao Gongcun's heart, Liu Yi smiled faintly and said softly without hesitation: "For Si Cang's position as a military officer, he was chopped off by a thief to guard the ten-month copper coins in the warehouse. This kind of thing happened last time, Liu did not dare to comment on others, but Liu would never forget it for the rest of his life."

"Ah? This is actually happening?!" Li Zhi looked at Zhao Gongcun in surprise, and his eyes unconsciously fell on Zhao Gongcun's broken arm. It seemed that this little guy didn't seem to know much about his butler's previous experiences.

"There have been many years since the incident, and the villain has long forgotten it. If it weren't for Mr. Liu's mentioning it today, Gongcun wouldn't have recalled it again." Qing nodded to Li Zhi, and Zhao Gongcun said indifferently: "And considering it a villain, it's just to do his duty and do his best, and it is not worth mentioning."

When he spoke, Zhao Gongcun's face was serious, with no joy or sorrow. It could be heard that this was not a false statement.
