On the second floor of Yanlai Building, after seeing off the three heads of the Xiao family, Dugu family, and Yuwen family, Luo Zhang called Zhao Tianhu over.

"Brother, what are your orders?" Zhao Tianhu said respectfully.

"Have you found the place I asked you to look for?" Luo Zhang asked.

"I found it. There is a very large and spacious house in the west of the city. It is much better than what you asked for. It is completely enough for you, little brother!" Zhao Tianhu said.

"How are the mines that I asked you to contact? Are they willing to sell them?" Luo Zhang took a sip of tea.

"This... they don't plan to sell it for the time being. I have also inquired about it. These mines are controlled by the Changsun family. If you want to buy them, you must go to the Changsun family. There is no Changsun family.

If you don’t agree, they won’t sell it!” Zhao Tianhu reported.

Luo Zhang nodded. This was not beyond his expectation. Luo Zhang didn't care about it. He already had a solution for this matter, but the time hadn't come yet. When the time came, he wouldn't be afraid that the Changsun family wouldn't take advantage of these mines.

Give him the field.

"Let's not worry about this for now. By the way, the shopkeeper and accountant of the ironmaking shop have been sent away, right?" Luo Zhang put down the tea cup and said.

"Send them off. I sent them out of the city the day before yesterday and let them board the big ship going south. They have already gone to sea by now!" Zhao Tianhu said with a smile. It is much more convenient to send someone away now than before. Send them directly to the ship.

Just send it to the south. Who can find it? Unlike in the past, you could only take a carriage to send someone away. Not only would it be slow, but there would also be a greater risk of being found.

"Well, that's good. In the next two days, you can arrange for someone to exchange the scrap metal obtained from Changsun's family for money. It's still hundreds of thousands of taels of silver anyway. We can't make Changsun's family have a hard time," Luo Zhang said. He couldn't help but say.

laughed.

Thinking of the method Li Yifu gave him, Luo Zhang wanted to laugh. Changsun Wuji was not the only person in the Great Yin throughout the ages. Li Yifu was no worse than Changsun Wuji.

This chain-linked plan was so sophisticated that even Luo Zhang had to admire Li Yifu. Of course, Li Yifu did this because he wanted Luo Zhang's attention. Luo Zhang naturally praised him generously.

Who would have thought that Li Yifu had already taken control of the big shopkeeper of the ironmaking shop a few months ago. Luo Zhang only found out about this a few days ago. At that time, Luo Zhang was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped.

It is said that when you are sleepy, someone will give you a pillow. What Li Yifu gave was not just a pillow, but a small amount of wealth. If he could really get involved in the Changsun family's iron-making business, Li Yifu would be indispensable.

You must know that this iron-making business is not much worse than his shipping business. The wealth provided to the Changsun family every year is terrifying. It is because of the iron-making business that the Changsun family has so much wealth and can become a powerful figure in the family.

The leader.

The eldest grandson's family has been in control for so many years, so you can imagine how much wealth they have accumulated. To put it bluntly, His Majesty is afraid that he is not as rich as his eldest grandson, and his money is simply a drop in the bucket in the eyes of the eldest grandson's family!

Just when Changsun Wuji was unconscious, Luo Zhang initiated this incident. Now that the layout was laid out, he was just waiting for the fish to take the bait.

It is also a helpless move for the Xiao family, Dugu family, and Yuwen family to do this together.

If Luo Zhang wants to open an iron-making shop, it will not be easy to grab the Changsun family's business, but with these three families involved, even if the Changsun family wants to make any move, it will have to be weighed.

For the benefit of these three families, if the Changsun family makes any moves, they will naturally not sit idly by and do nothing. This will reduce Luo Zhang's pressure to the minimum, and he will have several allies, so why not do it!

You can never make enough money, and living alone is not a long-term path. Luo Zhang will not do such stupid things!

There was a long queue outside the Changsun family's iron-making shop. These people came to exchange the scrap iron in their hands with the Changsun family for money.

Although they bought scrap iron from Changsun's family, everyone was satisfied with the way Changsun's family dealt with it. After all, not everyone has the courage to pay compensation for selling it, which is not a small sum of money.

The identification encountered difficulties at the beginning. Those responsible for identification could not tell whether the items sent by the people were from Changsun's family. The main reason was that these things were made into finished products. How to check? This was a pain for those who identified.

Should we pay compensation or not?

Seeing this, everyone in the queue started shouting again.

The butler was not in a hurry, but walked to the long table, picked up the two sections of the broken knife on the table, and struck each other directly.

With a click, the broken knife that originally had two sections now became four sections.

But just like that, the housekeeper nodded and said: "This is the pig iron we sold before, give him the money!"

The appraisers looked at the long knife broken into four sections thoughtfully. They were not stupid, and they quickly understood the strangeness.

The pig iron they sold before was very brittle. No matter what the arcade said, it was still very brittle and would break if touched. Such things were what they sold before. If the pig iron didn't break when hit with a broken knife, it was not the pig iron they sold.

With the butler's guidance, the discerning person breathed a sigh of relief, and the owner of the big sword who received the compensation also smiled happily and ran away with the money. As for the broken knife on the table, who would want it?

The people at the back also saw what happened in front of them, and many people had already turned around and left. It was obvious that they couldn't pass this test. It was better to leave wisely, so as not to be caught fishing in troubled waters and get beaten up.

But it’s not worth it!

None of this escaped the steward's eyes. Looking at those leaving, the steward sneered again and again.

Things here have been arranged, and the housekeeper didn't stay here any longer. He still has to go back to the house to report the situation to the great elder.

In the palace, Li Shimin was looking at the secrets reported by the Secret Service. They contained the big and small things that happened in Chang'an City in the past few days. Most of them were trivial, but there were also major events.

As he watched, Li Shimin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Someone wants to take action against the Changsun family's iron-making business? That's fine. Their family has been controlling it for long enough. The weapons have become worse and worse over the years. It's time for someone to compete with them and let the Changsun family

I know my own shortcomings." Li Shimin murmured to himself.

But when he saw the people involved in this matter, he couldn't help but be stunned. Luo Zhang? Xiao family? Dugu family? Yuwen family?

For this kind of thing, the Secret Intelligence Department still had their channels to find out. After all, Luo Zhang would have to be exposed soon if he didn't want to be exposed, so he didn't hide it too deeply, otherwise it would be difficult for the Secret Intelligence Department to get the information.

"Why is this kid everywhere! If he doesn't spend time with Gao Yang at home and works outside every day, what does he need so much money for?" Li Shimin snorted and said to Luo Zhang quite unhappy.

Li Shimin had never thought that Luo Zhang not only had to support an army of ten thousand people, but also a shipyard, not to mention the system points. What could he do without money? He would naturally make more money during the New Year.

Of course, Li Shimin also knew the first two things, but he just didn't think of them for a moment.

After seeing the details of this incident, Li Shimin had to sigh that Luo Zhang had really grown up, and now he actually knew how to find helpers to do things together, instead of fighting alone and fighting fiercely like before!

He also understands the principle of making money by everyone. I am afraid that the Changsun family will be in trouble this time!

In the Changsun Mansion, the housekeeper returned to the mansion and went directly to the elder to report what happened today.

Hearing that the compensation matter was successfully resolved, the great elder also breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could catch his breath, someone came running in from outside and reported: "Elder, steward, it's bad, something happened at the iron shop!"

"Why are you panicking? What happened again?" the housekeeper scolded.

"There is news from the iron shop that the 100,000 taels of silver you just sent was exchanged in just a short while. I heard there is still a lot left!" the servant reported hurriedly.

"What? One hundred thousand taels of silver were exchanged in a moment? How is this possible? The sales in the account book are only tens of thousands taels, how can there be so many? Someone is causing trouble! Dare to make trouble on the head of my eldest grandson's family

,Are they tired of living?" the housekeeper said angrily.

The great elder on the side didn't say anything. He had already guessed that someone was behind today's incident. Now this troublemaker has taken action again. It's obvious that he came with bad intentions. He wanted to see who dared to do this!

"Steward, the news from over there is that the pig iron that the exchanger took out is no different from the identification method you gave me. It just broke into pieces after a collision. It can be determined that it is the item sold by my eldest son's family. Now that
Chapter completed!
