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

When Ling Chuan returned to the shop, the first thing he did was to ask Cao Huanchun to send someone to Dongfu Ji to buy snacks.

It was obvious that Dongfu Ji was set up by the Xu family to target Yunfu Ji. He wanted to know where the Xu family got the confidence to compete with him.

Soon, the snacks were bought back. After tasting them, the people in the shop agreed that brown sugar was added to them.

Cao Huanchun asked in confusion: "But we have never sold brown sugar before?"

Ling Chuan narrowed his eyes and said, "So they should be using white sugar."

"White sugar?" Cao Huanchun was surprised. "Didn't they only sell that stuff to Guangfenghao? If we use white sugar that costs ten taels of silver per pound to make snacks, wouldn't we lose a lot of money?"

Ling Chuan sneered: "It's possible that it's not ten taels of silver per pound. The larger the quantity, the better. By the way, haven't you investigated the background of Guangfeng yet?"

Cao Huanchun spread his hands and said, "How can I have the energy to order people around like you?"

Ling Chuan was stunned for a moment: "Okay, don't worry about this. Have you found a shop? How is the recruitment going?"

Cao Huanchun said: "I did find a shop, but I think one shop is not enough. The capital is so big that even if the errand runners die of exhaustion, they still can't run all the way."

"Then you should find a few more shops. In the short term, we can only throw money at it. Once the people in the capital get used to running errands for us, we can start to see some returns."

Ling Chuan said: "We recruit people regardless of their quality. The more the better. We will give each person one or two taels of silver per month as a basic salary. We will give them commissions from the money they earn from running errands. All you have to do is to find useful people among them."

Cao Huanchun nodded: "I understand."

Ling Chuan sighed, "I just got a little more money in my pocket, so I have to spend it. By the way, as the head of the East Factory, the court doesn't even give me a salary?"

Cao Huanchun was embarrassed: "It's because the court hasn't recognized us yet. When our East Factory can stand in the court, we won't need that little salary."

Ling Chuan grumbled, "I have no status, no wages, and I have to do so much work. This is the first time I have done such a losing business."

Cao Huanchun was speechless and changed the subject, asking, "Then how do you plan to deal with Dongfuji?"

Ling Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Originally I was planning to play with him slowly, but now it seems that there are too many troubles. I am too lazy to bother with him and will just kill him directly."

"Master Ling, are you confident?"

"Tsk, playing this kind of trick in front of me is no different from being a clown. Besides, his life is in my hands. I just need to cut off his sugar and he will have no choice but to wait for death."

"So you're planning to cut off Guangfeng's cargo?"

Ling Chuan raised his index finger and shook it: "No, no, no, I have a more exciting way to play."

"A more exciting way to play?"

There were eleven regular shop assistants in the shop. They were originally gathered around the table making snacks, but when they heard this, they all pricked up their ears.

Xiao Taohong even put down the snacks in her hand and came to Ling Chuan: "Mr. Ling, please tell me."

Ling Chuan leaned back and said, "All of you, it's just a simple matter. If he dares to sell it at a loss, then we should buy it all for him and see how much loss he can afford."

"That's it?"

Everyone went back to make snacks in disappointment.

"That's right." Ling Chuan said dissatisfiedly, "He dared to die, but we dared not bury him. Lao Cao, you take money from the account and hire people to go to Dongfuji to buy their snacks from tomorrow. Buy as many as you can, so that they can't sell any of their snacks."

"What's the point of not being able to sell them? They've already bought them all for us. Besides, why did we buy so many snacks?"

"You don't understand. They sell dim sum at a loss just to promote their brand. If we buy all their dim sum, their trick won't work. As for the dim sum we buy, we can just process it a little bit and sell it at the original price. That little loss can be ignored."

Cao Huanchun's eyes kept rolling: "This method is good, but it's not very exciting."

"I want to hear something exciting." Ling Chuan stood up: "Follow me."

Cao Huanchun followed Ling Chuan into the study with a puzzled look on his face.

As soon as Ling Chuan sat down, he spoke: "Have you dealt with the matter of the evil god in the wild temple outside the city?"

Cao Huanchun nodded: "Okay, didn't you say you would burn some incense and candles for a few days to make it look more realistic?"

"That's right, do you still remember Xu Ping?"

"Isn't that kid locked up in the county jail? I heard he was sentenced to the maximum penalty, with both legs broken. He'll be in there for at least three years, and I don't know if he'll ever get out alive."

"Lao Cao, can you get him out?"

"Get him out? How?" Cao Huanchun was shocked: "You are not trying to break him out of prison."

"That's right, it's a prison break. You get the man out, take him to the wild temple, and perform a blood sacrifice on him..."

"hiss……"

Cao Huanchun was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, leave it to me."

"Remember to write a memorial or something, burn half and keep the other half."

Cao Huanchun was stunned for a moment, and finally gave Ling Chuan a thumbs up: "You are a bit of a waste of talent to be a waiter."

"Why do I feel that what you said is not a compliment to me?" Ling Chuan rolled his eyes at him and said, "I was forced to do this. If Xu didn't cause trouble for me, how could I target him? How does the saying go? One punch will open the door..."

"So as to avoid a hundred punches." Cao Huanchun replied, "I understand. I'll do it."

……

In the study of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, An Changqing was talking to his son An Jie.

"Jie'er, do you still have any contact with Manager Ling of Yunfuji?"

An Jie shook his head: "Su Yu said that this person is not a gentleman and asked me to have less contact with him."

"Women's opinions." An Changqing said, "You are already in your thirties, how come you don't have any opinions of your own?"

An Jie was confused, wondering why his father's words today were different from before. His father taught him since he was a child that friends should have good character, a kind heart, and a good character. Although Ling Chuan has a kind heart, he can't be considered to have a good character.

An Changqing couldn't tell His Majesty what he had ordered, so he could only say, "As a father, I think this man is not good at what he does, but he has a decent character and outstanding intelligence. My son might as well get to know him and learn from his strengths and make up for his weaknesses."

At the same time, in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, Shi Qian did not beat around the bush like An Changqing did, and directly said to his son Shi Xing: "There is a Yunfuji in San Tiao Lane, the owner is called Lingchuan, the emperor thinks highly of this person, you should find a way to get in touch with him, it will definitely be of great benefit to your career in the future."

Shi Xing was somewhat puzzled: "Dad, how could a mere merchant like that deserve to be valued by the emperor?"

"The disaster relief plan your father used in Jiangzhou Prefecture this time was proposed by this man. Do you think he is worthy of the emperor's attention?"

Shi Xing raised his eyebrows: "I see, he is just a businessman, it is easy to win him over."

'Snapped! '

Shi Qian slapped his son on the head and said, "You kid, restrain yourself a little. The civil and military officials were helpless in dealing with the flood in Jiangzhou Prefecture, but they came up with three strategies in a row, from disaster relief to resettlement of the victims, to curbing grain prices. They all showed their intelligence. How dare you look down on them?"

Shi Xing was slapped, his face full of grievance: "Dad, I know."

"Well, remember, be sincere in your friendship and be open-minded in seeking advice."
