From eunuch to emperor

"Wei Chen is here to report this matter."

Long Chen told the process and result of the negotiation, the Empress remained silent, and Yingfeng frowned slightly.

"You and the world will cooperate, and the Dragon Gang will definitely oppose it. How do you deal with it?"

After a moment of silence, the Empress asked.

Long Chen said: "At the beginning, Wei Chen didn't agree to only cooperate with the Dragon Gang, I only agreed to franchise them, and their products were not given to the Tianxiahui, so the Dragon Gang has nothing to say."

Long Chen never said that he only cooperated with the Dragon Gang, nor did he distribute the products to the Tianxiahui, so it can't be said that he was not trustworthy.

On the contrary, Tianxiahui proposed to terminate the cooperation, but Long Chen insisted on the principle.

"You have the final say on the truth, but your new stuff is given to the Tianxiahui. The Dragon Gang won't suffer from being dumb."

Yingfeng has been in contact with the Dragon Gang and knows the temper of the Dragon Gang. It is said that the leader of the Dragon Gang has a hot temper and is very difficult to deal with.

Long Chen said: "I know that the Dragon Gang will definitely come looking for me, so I will report to the Holy One first."

The empress said: "You want me to authorize you to negotiate, can you ask for any conditions?"

Long Chen replied: "The Holy One is wise."

Yingfeng's face was stern, obviously very dissatisfied with Long Chen's request.

Any condition can be agreed, what if Long Chen messes up?

But the empress said: "Okay, I will give you this power."

Long Chen bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Wei Chen retire."

People from the Dragon Gang will come soon, and Long Chen must prepare for it.

"Give me a taste of your green tea, I want to know how you taste."

The Empress said lightly.

Long Chen bowed: "The minister has already brought it."

As he spoke, he took out a small porcelain jar and handed it to Yingfeng, and also explained how to make tea.

Yingfeng immediately boiled water to make tea, and the Empress said, "Nanliang is preparing to take back Linjiang City. You are familiar with Linjiang City, think about how to defend the city."

Long Chen has already heard about the military newspaper of Linjiang City from Emperor Luoxi, that war may break out there at any time.

"The minister leads the order."

Long Chen exited Fengming Palace.

When he got outside, Long Chen suddenly remembered what the Empress said, "I want to know what it's like for you"?This is a slip of the tongue?Or do you think too much?Long Chen couldn't figure it out.

"It's definitely a slip of the tongue!"

Long Chen shook his head, denying the empress's idea of ​​greedy for his body, dignified empress, why would she be interested in a eunuch if she can't find a man?

Longhu immediately returned to the Ministry of Industry.

Not long after, the yamen servant at the gate came in to report that Shi Jian, the master of Qianlong Hall, asked to see him.

Long Chen ordered to let the person in.

Soon, Shi Jian entered the inner room with a dark face.

Zhang Qian went out of the room to make sure that no one around was eavesdropping.

"Long Shangshu, what do you mean! You cooperate with our Dragon Gang, but cooperate with the Tianxiahui, so treacherous, how do you make the world think of the Eastern Zhou court!"

Shi Jian sat down on the chair angrily.

Long Chen chuckled and said: "Treachery? I just cooperated with your Dragon Gang, and I didn't say that I would not cooperate with Tianxiahui!"

"The world will persuade me to transfer all business to them and cut off contact with you. I categorically refuse. Not only am I not a treacherous person, but I am a trustworthy person who keeps my promises!"

The Dragon Gang has its own news channel, and everything Long Chen said can be verified.

But Shi Jian didn't buy it, and said, "You gave Tianxiahui, we are no longer a franchise, and our loss is too great."

"Your new green tea was delivered to Sifanglou, and Qianlongtang lost a new business. How will you compensate us for the loss!"

Long Chen laughed and said: "Hallmaster Shi is really a funny person, who do I sell my things to, do I still need Hallmaster Shi's permission?"

Shi Jian was rendered speechless.

That's true, Long Chen doesn't need the consent of the Dragon Gang to sell to anyone.

Shi Jian knew that Long Chen was not at fault, he was just upset, as if Long Chen had cheated.

"Hall Master Shi calm down, I know you are unhappy, I gave the new product to Tianxiahui, and promised to cooperate in the future."

Hearing that there will be cooperation in the future, Shi Jian was so angry that he slapped the table.

"But Master Shi, if you were me, how would you choose?"

After Long Chen asked a question, he stopped talking.

Shi Jian's chubby faces were squeezed together, he thought for a while without saying a word, he knew what Long Chen meant.

"The Southern Liang is ready to fight, the war is imminent, the northern barbarians are eyeing, and Xixia has been looking for opportunities. If I reject the Tianxiahui at this time, how will I deal with the surrounding situation in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty?"

"As the Shangshu of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, I can't just think about your Dragon Gang. I must stand on the court's side."

Shi Jian knew that Long Chen's words were from the bottom of his heart, and the situation in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was indeed worrying.

"It seems that our cooperation can only go so far."

Shi Jian felt helpless.

The Tianxiahui intervened in it. In order to keep Dong Zhou, Long Chen could only choose to cooperate with the Tianxiahui. In the future, there would be nothing to do without the Longbang.

"No, I really don't like people forcing me to cooperate."

Long Chen's tone suddenly became cold and severe.

Shi Jian was taken aback, and asked, "What does this mean? Don't you want to cooperate with Tianxiahui in the future?"

Long Chen said: "The Dragon Gang has been suppressed by the Tianxia Guild, don't you want to stand up?"

The more Shi Jian listened, the more confused he became, and he said, "Shi doesn't understand what Master Shangshu means."

Long Chen lowered his voice, but spoke more clearly: "I mean, the Dragon Gang will replace the Tianxiahui."

hiss...

Shi Jian frowned and said, "Is this... possible?"

Shi Jian, who is in the Dragon Gang, knows how powerful the Tianxiahui is, so he questioned it.

"Don't you want to?"

Long Chen didn't say if he could, but only asked if he wanted to.

Shi Jian didn't answer this question, but kept silent.

Long Chen didn't pursue the question, but changed the topic: "I want to have a face-to-face meeting with your leader."

Shi Jian was startled again, and pondered: "This matter... I can't decide."

Long Chen chuckled, and said: "No hurry, you go back and report, I'll wait for your news."

Shi Jian hesitated for a long time, finally stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go back and report."

Shi Jian was about to leave, but Long Chen called Shi Jian to stop...

Xu Ming, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, was busy checking the construction drawings outside, when he suddenly heard a fierce quarrel in Long Chen's room, followed by the sound of smashing.

Everyone was surprised: "Do you want to let the guards in?"

Xu Ming was also anxious, but saw Zhang Qian guarding the door without any movement.

Xu Ming shook his head and said, "No need, Captain Zhang didn't move."

Everyone keep working.

Not long after, Shi Jian came out angrily, scolding Long Chen for treachery, and scolding the Ministry of Industry for being untrustworthy.

The officials of the Ministry of Industry were very angry, and it was embarrassing to be scolded by a businessman.

Long Chen walked out of the room, stood at the door, said calmly, "Clean it up."

The servants immediately went into the house to clean it.

Long Chen took Zhang Qian away from the Ministry of Industry and went to the West Palace.

...

After the green tea is launched, the world will follow Long Chen's suggestion and sell it to the barbarians in the north. After drinking green tea, the meat-eating barbarians will immediately recover from their previous problems of stomach discomfort and teeth bleeding.

The barbarians in the grassland bought green tea in large quantities, and the world would make a fortune.

On the other side of Nanliang, the Tianxiahui set up a meeting with friends through tea, and the poetry society became a sensation, and the green tea was successfully sold.

The household department where Long Chen was located sent the tea roasted by the Ministry of Industry to Sifanglou. At the same time, Long Chen also designed many tea sets, which were made by the Ministry of Industry and sold by the Tianxiahui. A steady stream of money flowed into the household department.

...

Nanliang Jinling Palace.

Emperor Li Chengdao sat in the pavilion, next to a Taoist priest in his 40s, wearing a Taoist robe, with three mustaches, bright eyes, and holding a whisk.
