Traveling through ancient times, the empress insisted on having a child with me

In the small building where Lingchuan lived, it took Lingchuan a long time to digest what Cao Huanchun said.

"You mean, Miss Lu's family has always worked for the East Factory?"

Cao Huanchun nodded first, then shook his head: "It should be said that the Lu family works for the court, and the East Factory is just one of them."

"Wait a minute... let me straighten it out."

Ling Chuan rubbed his chin and spoke after a while: "Ms. Lu's surname is Lu, and the emperor's surname is also Lu, so..."

"You can understand it as the same clan but different ethnic groups."

"Hiss..." Ling Chuan took a breath of cold air: "No wonder your young lady is so arrogant, so you plan to let me join the East Factory?"

"After spending some time together, I feel that you are a good fit for the East Factory." Cao Huanchun began to act arrogantly. His Majesty had said that he would hand Lingchuan over to him.

Ling Chuan immediately sensed the change in Cao Huanchun's attitude and rolled his eyes at Cao Huanchun: "Do you think I need your approval?"

Choked by Ling Chuan's words, Cao Huanchun quickly put away his airs and said with a chuckle, "Mr. Ling, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant. As long as Mr. Ling is willing to join the East Factory, my position as the head of the warehouse will be yours, and I will be your deputy."

Ling Chuan raised his eyebrows and said nothing. Cao Huanchun continued, "To be honest, Miss is troubled by these things all day long. If Master Ling can help Miss solve these problems, Miss will have more say in the clan."

These words touched Ling Chuan's heart. He moved closer to Cao Huanchun and said in a low voice, "Then let me ask you, if I succeed in this, can I marry your daughter?"

Cao Huanchun opened his mouth, completely confused. What the hell was this bullshit? How could I listen to such a thing?

"Ahem, well, I don't understand this matter of love between men and women. Master Ling, you should ask Miss." Cao Huanchun avoided the topic: "In a word, if Master Ling can help Miss, then Miss will definitely look at you with new eyes. Even if someone in the clan opposes, Master Ling can still say a few words, right?"

"Hmm... that makes sense." Ling Chuan rubbed his chin and nodded, then slapped Cao Huanchun on the shoulder: "Old Cao, what do you want me to do now?"

Cao Huanchun was also a martial arts expert, but he was slapped by Ling Chuan and his body was shortened a few inches. A smile appeared on his face: "So, Master Ling agreed?"

Ling Chuan was suddenly startled: "Wait a minute, if I join this East Factory, I'm not going to do that, am I?"

"What?"

Ling Chuan looked down: "You won't cut that."

Cao Huanchun waved his hands quickly: "No, no, most of the positions in the East Factory were previously held by the Yulin Guards. How is that possible?"

"That's good." Ling Chuan breathed a sigh of relief: "So what is my position now?"

"He is the head of the company." Cao Huanchun added, "He is also the deputy of the head of the East Factory."

"Who is the governor?"

Cao Huanchun paused and said, "The current East Factory... has no supervisor."

"No? If not, then I am number one. Just let me be the governor. It sounds much more impressive than being the boss."

Cao Huanchun smiled awkwardly: "That won't work. The governor is just a respectful title for the subordinates. In fact, the full name is the Imperial Envoy, the Chief Eunuch of the Judicial Bureau. The word "Imperial Envoy" means that this position must be decided by the emperor, and it must be a eunuch."

Ling Chuan immediately squeezed his legs together: "Well, I think the title of "head of the stall" is also very impressive. It's enough for me to be a head of the stall. It's enough, enough."

He thought for a moment and asked again, "Then I am the boss, how many people do I have under me?"

Cao Huanchun pointed at himself and said, "Including me, there are eight people in total."

Ling Chuan's eyes widened immediately: "Only eight people, what is this? An empty shell?"

"Master Ling, the turmoil three years ago has left the East Factory in name only, so Miss wants to rebuild it, but everyone in the clan is against it, unless..."

Ling Chuan was curious: "Unless what?"

"Unless the East Factory can make great contributions and receive the emperor's commendation, our clan will have nothing to say, but..."

Ling Chuan rolled his eyes: "Can't you finish your words in one breath?"

"What I mean is that we have to do this by ourselves. The lady can't help at all, so we are short of money and people now."

"Is that all?" Ling Chuan asked, "Didn't you say there were eight people? Where are the other seven?"

"The four guys in the shop, the three of One-Armed, and you and I, together, make up the entire East Factory staff."

Ling Chuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Cao Huanchun: "Why do I feel like you are fooling me? There are only a few people in the entire East Factory? And they are hiding in a snack shop..."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Huanchun had already taken out a sign and handed it to him. Ling Chuan took it and saw that it was a palm-sized copper plate with the words "Jishisi" engraved on it.

After reading it over and over again, Ling Chuan said disdainfully, "That's it? Any blacksmith on the street can make one for at most 200 coins."

Cao Huanchun chuckled: "Privately casting the East Factory waist badge is a capital crime. Who has the guts to do that? Three years ago, the name of the East Factory could stop a child from crying at night."

It was the first time that Ling Chuan saw Cao Huanchun smile so sinisterly. After hearing his confident words, he put away the badge and said, "When I make money, I'll ask someone to carve a gold one."

"That won't work. The gold medals are for the supervisors. During the heyday of the East Factory, there were also Yulin Guards who served as post officials, who were in charge of silver medals. Below them were the managers of each class and room, who were in charge of bronze medals."

"Wait a minute, what you mean is that I, who sounds so impressive, am just a small leader of the lowest level."

Cao Huanchun smiled awkwardly: "There is nothing we can do about it. The gold and silver medals are all designated by the emperor, but they are only for sitting in the palace. When walking outside, the bronze medal is enough. In those days, officials below the third rank would tremble in fear when they saw the bronze medal, and some even wet their pants on the spot."

"So, Lao Cao, you were also very powerful in your time."

"It's OK, it's all thanks to the young lady." A proud smile spread across Cao Huanchun's face.

"Okay, it's just a small job, look how proud you are." Ling Chuan said unhappily: "Then what do we have to do to make a contribution?"

"Isn't there a meritorious service at the moment?"

"Are you talking about Xu Clan of Ruyin?"

"That's right. The Left Prime Minister is behind this, so it must have been approved by the Emperor. So all we have to do is get it done. But we don't have anyone right now."

"Why is there no one?" Ling Chuan curled his lips and said, "We have fifty salespeople, that's a lot."

"How can that be possible? The East Factory doesn't accept everyone."

"Come on, you are still being picky about these few people. Besides, I only let them do the work, and I didn't say I would recruit them into the East Factory."

Cao Huanchun had a puzzled look on his face, and Ling Chuan said, "But you can observe more. If you find a suitable one, it's not impossible to recruit him."
