From eunuch to emperor

Long Chen and Zhang Qian took the box to the household department, Duan Shuangshuang, the servant, came over and said, "My lord, the owner of Sifanglou has arrived."

"Okay, let him in."

Long Chen sat down, Duan Shuangshuang went out to invite someone, and Zhang Qian hid behind the room.

Not long after, Hong Qi with a square face, beard and small eyes came in and bowed respectfully: "Long Shangshu."

Long Chen got up and returned a salute: "Lord Hong, please sit down."

It can be felt that Hong Qi is obviously respectful to Long Chen.

Sure enough, a man's dignity is earned.

Known for fighting on the battlefield, everyone will be in awe.

In the battle of Linjiang City, Murong Xiao was killed, Shangguan Wei committed suicide, and even killed Shangguan Xiu and Shangguan Mu with his own hands, needless to say about the other generals.

With these records alone, it is enough to make people look sideways.

As the owner of Tianxiahui, Hong Qi knew how powerful Long Chen was, so his attitude was much more respectful.

"Long Shangshu's talent in civil and military affairs has already become famous all over the world. He defeated Yu Shinan in Douwen, killed Shangguanxiu in martial arts competition, defeated the army and killed the general, and established a prestige on the enemy country."

Hong Qi is half flattering and half sincere.

Long Chen smiled, and humbly said: "The Holy Majesty personally takes action, the princess is the coach, I just took advantage of my accomplishments, any talents in civil and military affairs are fake."

Hong Qi said: "Long Shangshu is modest. Others don't know, but our Tianxiahui knows that this war is planned by Long Shangshu."

Sure enough, there are so many eyes and ears in the world, and nothing can be hidden.

Long Chen smiled and said, "It's just luck."

Hong Qi laughed and said, "Luck alone was able to plan to kill Murong Xiao, behead Shangguan Xiu, Shangguan Mu, force Shangguanwei to death, and destroy 40 troops. Long Shangshu's luck is also very good."

Long Chen laughed a few times, but didn't answer.

A servant knocked on the door, opened it and entered, carrying a kettle and a tea set.

After putting it down, the servant went out again and closed the door.

Long Chen put the teapot on the coal stove, put away the tea set, a jar of tea leaves, a teapot, and two cups.

The two fell into a momentary silence, neither of them spoke, they just looked at the slowly boiling kettle.

Long Chen made tea, shared two cups, said "please", each took a cup of tea, and drank one cup.

"After this battle, Eastern Zhou defended Linjiang City and occupied Caishi City, and Nanliang's vitality was severely injured."

"Thanks to Long Shangshu's efforts in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the national treasury was full, there were soldiers and money, and the national power increased greatly."

Hong Qi seemed to be praising Long Chen for being amazing, but he actually started to talk about business.

What he meant was that Eastern Zhou was too powerful now, and the world would want to attack Eastern Zhou.

Long Chen picked up the teapot, poured another cup of tea each, and said, "Tea please."

Hong Qi drank another cup, playing with the teacup in his hand, waiting for Long Chen's answer.

"Strength and weakness are the fate of every country. Nanliang has never been strong and prosperous."

"I know that your world will want a world situation in which each other is contained, and all countries contain each other, and all of them are asking of you. Your president can continue to be the uncrowned king and receive the courtesy of all countries."

Long Chen got straight to the point, directly pointing out the intention of the Tianxiahui.

Hong Qi didn't expect Long Chen to be so direct, but he wasn't embarrassed, the whole world knew about it, so it was okay to say it.

"That's right, we hope that the world will live in peace, and everyone will do business and make money."

Hong Qi looks upright, and he is unequivocal when he speaks nonsense. He is clearly playing with countries, but he says he hopes for peace in the world.

Long Chen thought to himself: He is really thick-skinned, I have to learn from him.

"Eastern Zhou has become stronger now, that's true, but it hasn't changed the three-point situation in the world."

"You said we have a lot of money, but you earn less?"

"One more thing, this time we broke the Nanliang, it will be beneficial for you to join the world."

Long Chen picked up the teapot, Hong Qi slowly put down the teacup, and Long Chen poured him a cup of tea.

When Nanliang was strong, the world would help Eastern Zhou and Xixia deal with Nanliang.

Because Nanliang and Tianxia will not be bound by interests.

But Eastern Zhou is different, Long Chen is doing business with Tianxiahui, Dongzhou makes money, Tianxiahui also makes money, both parties have common interests.

If the world will turn against each other, Long Chen will stop the work of the Ministry of Industry, and the world will suffer huge losses.

Back then Long Chen chose to cooperate with Tianxiahui for the reason of today's situation.

"You're right, but what our president means is that we don't want Eastern Zhou to expand further."

Hong Qi said very solemnly.

Long Chen also said solemnly: "I have to report this matter to the Holy Majesty before I can make a decision, I can't make the decision."

"However, it's okay for us not to expand outwards. Can you guarantee that Nanliang and Xixia will not invade?"

"If they break in, we can't wait to die, can we?"

Hong Qi said very confidently: "This is no problem. We will put pressure on Nanliang and Xixia to keep them honestly guarding the border, and they will live in peace from now on."

Hong Qi's self-confidence was given by the president of Tianxiahui.

Xixia has always listened to Tianxiahui. Nanliang was disobedient before, but the Long Family Army is gone, the Tianwei Legion is gone, and Murong Xiao is dead. At this time, Nanliang is not as good as before. Tianxiahui is confident that it can influence Nanliang.

This is also the reason why Long Chen said just now that breaking Nanliang would benefit the world.

Nanliang's strength has been weakened, and Tianxiahui will be able to exert influence again.

"Okay, if Master Hong can make such a promise, I will definitely try my best to persuade the Holy Majesty that I will never expand to the outside world from now on."

"However, please Master Hong tell the president a sentence: If Nanliang and Xixia attack first, we will definitely fight back!"

Long Chen didn't finish his words completely, and left a condition.

Hong Qi nodded slightly and said, "I will bring it."

After the serious topic ended, Long Chen smiled and said: "Today, I invite Master Hong to come over, and I have two new products for you to see."

Hong Qi said happily: "There is a new product? Why didn't you say it earlier?"

When delivering the letter, Long Chen only said that he wanted to talk to Hong Qi, but he didn't say that he had invented a new product.

Long Chen smiled and said, "Give the landlord a surprise."

As he spoke, Long Chen took out the lipstick and cream, opened them respectively, and introduced how to use them.

"This thing is called Jade Lips, and this thing is called Moonlight Cream."

"In autumn and winter, our lips, faces, and backs of our hands are prone to dryness and chapping. Using this product can make the skin supple."

"This jade lip is suitable for men, women and children, and this Yuehuashuang is most suitable for noble ladies, and the price can be opened at any price."

"The barbarians in the north must also need it. Their place is dry and cold."

Long Chen had set all the target customers, Hong Qi was delighted to see it.

He is an old businessman, and he knew at a glance that the market for this product was very good, and he was going to make a lot of money.

"The things Long Shangshu invented are miraculous. Women all over the world want to have supple skin. This Yuehua Cream must be a cash cow."

Hong Qi has a vicious vision and immediately judges that Yuehuashuang is more profitable.

Long Chen said with a smile: "Lord Hong, take it back for trial first, and if it feels good, our Ministry of Industry will supply it in batches."

Hong Qi said resolutely: "There is no need to try it out, as much as you want, I can deliver it today."

Long Chen said in embarrassment: "I didn't expect the landlord to be so forthright. I haven't started mass production yet, and it will take a few days."

In fact, Long Chen was done, he deliberately whetted his appetite.

Hong Qi urged: "As soon as possible, the sooner the better."

Long Chen patted his chest and said: "No problem, work day and night!"

Hong Qi went out of the household department with the samples, and happily returned to Sifanglou.

Zhang Qian came out from the back room.

"Is this guy believable?"

Zhang Qian asked.

Long Chen said: "There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests. We and the world will have common interests, so it is temporarily credible."

"Let's go to Fengming Palace."

The result of the negotiation with Tianxiahui must be reported to the Empress.
