was knocking on Lu Hanqiang's side to inquire about the operation of the firm, Zhang Zihan and Ruyun also looked at the room and were very satisfied, so Lu Hanqiang settled on this small courtyard.
The manager happily asked Lu Hanqiang for a road guide registration, and when he registered, he asked: "I don't know if this son is going north or entering Beijing."
Lu Hanqiang smiled and asked, "Is there any difference between this?"
The shopkeeper immediately said solemnly: "This is a big difference."
Then look at Xiaoqin with the second daughter who went to wash first and said, "Son, if you enter Beijing, then there is no need to say it, and if you go north, then you take the two young ladies, it is too big." ” Lu Hanqiang took the receipt that the manager should have issued, and asked with a smile, "What do you say?"
"Childe doesn't know, now there is a big drought in the north, displaced people are everywhere, although the vicinity of Gyeonggi is quite passable, but there have been displaced people who have begun to pour in, those homeless people are hungry and red-eyed, killing people and goods is commonplace, killing people to eat is also available, and those who are strong and strong, simply form a pole, gather in the mountains and forests, intercept the merchants, you said that you took the two young ladies on the road so ostentatious, can it be safe?"
When Lu Hanqiang heard this, he deliberately pretended to be shocked, and said again and again: "We are going to Zhangjiakou, so how can it be good to lose our lives?"
When the manager saw it, he hurriedly pulled a chair and sat opposite Lu Hanqiang, and said with a smile: "But it's okay, I recommend another service of our firm to you, that is, bodyguards." ” "Bodyguard" "Yes, our trading house was originally a landowner, and our children and grandchildren have been this post guard all their lives, and there is already training here, and we are familiar with the people in this vicinity, and there is the emperor's grace, and we were issued swords and guns, so we set up an escort team to protect the merchants along the way."
Then looked at Lu Hanqiang's hesitant look, and hurriedly explained: "Our fee is not high, that is, a coolie's foot money, you can rest assured, our firm will never dare to lose the emperor's face, in case we meet a pole that does not give face, we will definitely do it rather than die in battle, but also protect the safety of merchants."
When he said this, he had lost his laughter and turned to a serious one.
"Isn't that too dangerous?"
"This is to reassure the son, even if our brother dies in battle, I don't want you to compensate, because our Lord Lu has already formulated the rules of bereavement before this, anyway, the lives of our people are cheap, as long as we can do something for the emperor, we are willing to die."
When he said this, he took out another credential, pointed to a column above, and said, "At the same time, you still have benefits." ” "Benefits above" "As long as you hire our brother to protect, our brother will send you safely to our next inn, hand over to the next inn brother to continue to protect you, at the same time, you can also get a 20% discount on the next inn and other services, so that all the way to Zhangjiakou, you calculate that you are not only safely protected, and during this time you will save a lot, so why not do two things, why not" "I don't think your current store money is expensive, but don't you make a lot less money in this way?"
Lu Hanqiang deliberately expressed surprise.
"Childe misunderstood, I won't tell you, as long as you stay with us and then stay in the next inn, we will earn less, but there will be a continuous flow of customers, so in general, we have earned you.
Hahaha. ” Lu Hanqiang smiled, it seems that his concept of chain management has been fully implemented, so that he can feel at ease.
The two talked and laughed, and soon the second daughter also came out after washing, so Lu Hanqiang ordered wine and food, and the three of them sat here to eat and drink.
The steward also went to entertain others again.
After eating and drinking, the three of them moved into their respective rooms, Lu Hanqiang just wanted to go to bed early so that he could continue to travel tomorrow, but he didn't want to hear a burst of noise from the adjacent courtyard, and there was a constant sound of bamboo drums, and the noisy Lu Hanqiang couldn't sleep at all.
I came out when I couldn't sleep, and at this time, I saw Xiao Er passing by at the door, took his hand and asked, "Who is next door so noisy, what time is this, and people can't sleep." ” The little second frowned and came over to apologize: "I'm sorry guest officer, that courtyard is an official who has just come from Xuanfu with his subordinates.
But he shook his head and said helplessly: "There is no way, these officials are like this, and in the afternoon, they asked the master of Zhizhou to come to contact, and the master of Zhizhou also arranged to wait, who made the family an official, just this virtue."
Then he apologized and gave Lu Hanqiang a salute, "But this lord will not stay long, and he will leave early tomorrow morning, saying that he is going to Beijing to meet the emperor." ” Hehe, why is this section so familiar, it seems that there is going to be a good show this time, I am looking forward to it.
Early the next morning, Lu Hanqiang, who wanted to get up early and go back to the barracks, did not leave, but took his second daughter to sit in the dining room and eat breakfast slowly, ready to wait for the show to open, and at the same time to see what kind of coping method his subordinates had at this time.
As a result, the lord may have a hangover and did not wake up, and he didn't get up at three poles in the sun, and the little fat man outside the city sent people to inquire, but Lu Hanqiang still didn't want to leave, so he asked someone to pass the word to the little fat man, saying that he had marched for two consecutive days, and the soldiers and people had to rest and recuperate, and they would be stationed here today, and they would leave tomorrow, and then tell the little fat man to send a message to the general manager again to buy a day's military supplies.
Then after settling the store accounts, he continued to drink tea and sit and watch.
The city was not far from the barracks, and it was less than half an hour to go back and forth, but in a short time a messenger entered the inn of the merchant house and handed over the letter to the chief steward, who immediately beckoned his capable men to prepare to go to various places to buy, and said that this was another income.
As a result, at this time, the officials in the courtyard had already gotten up, and the noisy rectification of the cage was about to set off, and when the chief manager saw it, he hurriedly ran up with the account book, nodded and took the hand of the official's housekeeper, "The old housekeeper walked slowly, and asked the old housekeeper to settle the hotel fee, and admit his feelings." ” The housekeeper raised his face and shaved his teeth, and said casually, "I won't read this account, you can go to your state to collect it later."
Then he didn't listen to the manager, so he said proudly: "I am looking for you, the lord is about to travel, you immediately take people to the surrounding area, looking for the servant fifty people to carry the cage for the adult, I can tell you, the servant must find a safe and reliable, those cages are all gifts to my lord's Taishan, broken, you can not afford to pay." ” t1706231537:
