"Hey, is anyone there?"

Li Changsheng came to the door of the Imperial Hospital and shouted a few words inside.

After a long while, the door was pushed open roughly.

Afterwards, Xie Chen came out angrily.

"Eunuch Li, what can I do for you?"

Li Changsheng said with a smile: "I'm here to return the three thousand taels of silver for the ginseng!"

As he spoke, he craned his neck and looked into the room.

"By the way, where is Miss Wanqing? Why didn't I see her today?"

Hearing Li Changsheng suddenly mention Xie Wanqing, Xie Chen's cloudy eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.

"You are very familiar with Wanqing, why are you looking for her?"

Li Changsheng said: "..."

Now it is indeed not very familiar.

However, by next month, it might be very familiar.

After all, we have to know everything!

"Thank you, Doctor. Look at what you said. No matter what, Miss Wanqing and I are friends."

"As a friend, can't I ask a few questions?"

Xie Chen sneered with disdain: "Haha, are you worthy enough to be friends with Wanqing?"

Li Changsheng looked ashamed.

Is this old fox angry today? Why is his temper so bad?

After calming down a bit, he transformed into a great Yin-Yang master and said in a sarcastic tone:

"It seems that these rumors are true. Miss Wanqing is about to fly to the treetops and become a phoenix, marrying into the harem as a concubine!"

"Now that your standards have become higher, you no longer look down on a little eunuch like me!"

Before Li Changsheng could finish his words, Xie Chen rushed forward and grabbed his collar tightly.

"Who told you all this?"

Li Changsheng never expected that Xie Chen's reaction would be so intense, and he quickly responded:

"I, I, I heard the news from the Imperial Household Department!"

Xie Chen pressed, "Then what else do you know?"

Li Changsheng said, "Nothing else. The wedding date seems to be set for the seventh day of next month!"

"Doctor Xie, please let go! You're going to strangle me to death..."

Seeing that Li Changsheng's face had indeed turned red from his pinching, Xie Chen let go of his hand.

"Cough cough, cough cough..."

Li Changsheng coughed violently twice and calmed down.

"Thank you, Imperial Physician. It is a great joy that your granddaughter can marry into the harem as a concubine."

"This is a blessing that only eight lifetimes of hard work can bring. Why don't you look happy?"

"roll!"

Hearing Xie Chen's roar, Li Changsheng didn't dare to stay any longer and quickly slipped away.

Look at Xie Chen's extreme reaction.

It is known that he was very resistant to marrying his granddaughter into the harem.

From this, it can be seen that taking Xie Wanqing into the harem as a concubine was a unilateral decision made by the Empress Dowager.

Xie Chen must know some secrets and doesn't want his innocent and kind granddaughter to be involved in this political whirlpool.

But he was weak and powerless, and could not disobey the empress dowager's order, which was why he was so helpless and furious just now.

Although we still don’t know what Xie Wanqing’s attitude is towards entering the palace as a concubine?

However, according to Li Changsheng, he had a brief contact and understanding with her.

Xie Wanqing is a kind-hearted and very pure woman.

I guess he was unwilling to give up his pursuit of medicine.

She turned and entered the harem as deep as the sea, and was kept in captivity like a canary in a cage.

If I'm not mistaken, Xie Wanqing should be in the Empress Dowager's Kunning Palace at this moment.

Thinking of this, Li Changsheng turned around and went to the East Factory.

When Cao Jixiang saw Li Changsheng coming, he hurried to greet him.

Manager Li, why are you here?"

Li Changsheng said: "I'll come and take a look!"

"Eunuch Cao, is your ear okay?"

Cao Jixiang touched his left ear, which was still wrapped in gauze, and looked a little melancholy.

"It's nothing serious, but the ear is not saved!"

Li Changsheng patted his shoulder and comforted him, "It's just one ear. It doesn't affect your hearing. Don't take it too seriously!"

Cao Jixiang nodded repeatedly and said, "What Li Zongguan said is absolutely right!"

"Compared to those who were burned to death in the Fugui Restaurant and Prince Zhao's Mansion, our family is already very lucky."

Thinking of the horribly burned bodies, Cao Jixiang couldn't help but shudder.

He would never have imagined that the Dragon and Tiger Gang was still showing off their power and arrogance during the day.

At night, they all died in the sea of fire.

Although he didn't know it, it was just a coincidence.

It was Li Changsheng who was behind it and did it on purpose.

However, based on his experience of spending half his life in the harem.

The Li Changsheng in front of him is definitely not an ordinary person.

In time, he will definitely surpass Mu Zhong in his prime!

Become the top king in this eunuch world!

If I had hugged her thigh in time.

Maybe it can also rise with the tide and have a second spring.

Thinking of this, Cao Jixiang felt inexplicably excited.

"Manager Li, do you have any instructions for me this time?"

Li Changsheng nodded slightly and said, "Eunuch Cao, now that the Dragon and Tiger Gang has been basically destroyed, you can continue to move forward with taking over the Flying Dragon Gang!"

Cao Jixiang nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.

"Manager Li, don't worry. We promise to do everything perfectly this time!"

Seeing Cao Jixiang being so understanding, Li Changsheng smiled with satisfaction.

"Oh, Eunuch Cao, there's one more thing. His Majesty plans to send a large army to wipe out the bandits around the capital. I might be appointed as the military supervisor and go with him!"

"When the time comes, I will not be in the palace, and all matters concerning the East Factory, big or small, will be decided by you alone!"

"I hope that when I return to the palace, I can see the East Factory rise to a higher level!"

When Cao Jixiang saw that Li Changsheng trusted him so much, he immediately felt flattered.

"Butler Li, we have an idea. Should I share it?"

Li Changsheng: "..."

You don’t know it yourself, so how can I know whether you should tell it or not?

"Eunuch Cao, we have been friends for many years. Why are you being so reserved in front of me?"

"If you have anything to say, just say it!"

After receiving encouragement, Cao Jixiang said excitedly, "Manager Li, this is what I mean. We have an idea. We want to build the East Factory into a giant like the Imperial City Bureau, and make it the true right-hand man of His Majesty!"

When Li Changsheng heard Cao Jixiang's proposal, he immediately became interested.

"Oh, any ideas?"

After getting Li Changsheng's encouragement, Cao Jixiang poured out all his ideas like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.

After listening to Cao Jixiang’s description of the future of Dongchang.

Even Li Changsheng had to look at him with admiration.

Cao Jixiang’s description is exactly the same as the development trajectory of the East Factory in the Ming Dynasty.

The Imperial City Division of Dawu is roughly equivalent to the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty in terms of scale and function.

However, the East Factory, which came later and took the upper hand, was able to allow the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard to meet the director of the East Factory and perform the ritual of kneeling and paying homage to him.

Li Changsheng pondered for a moment and said, "It's a good idea, but it takes time to build something. We have to proceed step by step. We can't just try to eat a big fat man in one bite."

Cao Jixiang nodded repeatedly and said, "Of course!"

"Manager Li, we've already thought of everything. Let's build the East Factory's headquarters first. After all, it's our facade!"

"To be frank, this place is now no different from ruins. It's really shabby and a disgrace to our East Factory."

Li Changsheng nodded slightly to show his agreement.

This place definitely needs some repairs!

However, it is still a makeshift team with no money and no talent.

You can only make do with it for now!

When Cao Jixiang met Li Changsheng, he nodded repeatedly to his suggestions.

He was greatly encouraged and continued to talk incessantly.

"Then, our East Factory will recruit talented people to build a solid talent base for our expansion and success!"

When Li Changsheng saw Cao Jixiang, he found that he actually understood the importance of talent.

I gave him a thumbs up in my heart.

You are such a fucking talent!

Our East Factory still needs talents like you!

Li Changsheng paused for a moment and said, "Eunuch Cao, your suggestions are very good and insightful!"

"But you also know that the national treasury is empty now, various natural disasters and man-made disasters are frequent, and now we have to suppress the bandits around the capital, and we need money everywhere."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to allocate money to our East Factory in such a short period of time!"

Having said that, he sighed with regret.

"Ah, I also want to make our East Factory bigger and stronger, but now even a penny can make a hero fall. It's really like a good cook cannot cook without rice!"

Cao Jixiang gritted his teeth, as if he was making up his mind.

"Manager Li, if you trust us, we'll figure out a way to pay the initial payment!"

Li Changsheng was startled when he heard this, and asked with great interest, "Oh, Eunuch Cao, what do you have in mind?"

Cao Jixiang said, "Master Li, to be honest, we have a house with three entrances and three exits outside the palace. We originally planned to use it for our retirement after leaving the palace."

"We plan to find a way to sell it off soon and raise money to support the East Factory's expansion and strength!"

Li Changsheng didn't expect that Cao Jixiang was so ambitious in his career that he was even willing to sell his retirement house.

Give him a peach and repay him with a plum!

Cao Jixiang has invested so much money.

As the chief steward of the East Factory, he had to show his appreciation.

"Eunuch Cao, the Internal Affairs Bureau is still short of a deputy general manager. Once you take over the Feilong Gang's territory, I will definitely recommend you for a reward!"

Cao Jixiang was overjoyed when he heard this and thanked him repeatedly.

This deputy chief eunuch of the Imperial Household Department could not be compared with the chief eunuch of Ganquan Palace before him.

But no matter what, he is also a high-ranking eunuch.

The infrastructure problem at the East Factory has been solved.

Next, it’s time to consider recruiting talented people.

Moreover, when he goes to serve as a military supervisor this time, he will definitely take a group of armed eunuchs with him to serve under him.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of one of the eunuchs, who was still wearing the prison uniform of the laundry house.

This discovery made him see the light.

Aren’t there a bunch of free people (niu) (ma) at the laundry shop?
