Qin Wenyuan said directly: "It is knowledge, controlling the right to study, controlling scholars! Controlling the spirit of the people in the world, controlling the public opinion of the world! This is what the family values most!"
"It is said that books have their own houses of gold, but in their eyes, books themselves are gold!"
"So if the aristocratic family controls most of the books, then the aristocratic family can control most of the people's scholars, and then control the spiritual thoughts of the people in the world."
"Therefore... except for this aspect, which they regard as an absolutely forbidden area, in other areas, such as industry and commerce, they adopt a strategy to expand their influence and do not restrict their access, so others can also enter."
"It is not like books or official positions, which must be firmly controlled by oneself."
"This is why the Lu family only sent one person, Lu Qian, to look after Ruyi Tea Shop, because business is not the focus of the Lu family at all!"
"The real purpose of Ruyi Tea Shop is not to make money. It is just a facade for the Lu family to show to the world, letting the people know that the Lu family's industries are spread in all aspects, and the Lu family is everywhere in life."
"You can basically see the Lu family in restaurants, textile shops, pawn shops, etc."
"As for Ruyi Tea Shop, it is remembered by the people of Chang'an that it only loses tens of taels a year. It is definitely the most cost-effective business for them."
So that’s it?
Only now did Xu Gou finally understand why Lu Qian was the only one in the Lu family to look after the Ruyi Tea Shop.
But soon, Xu Gou frowned again and asked: "Since Ruyi Tea Shop doesn't care about making money, why do they attack us? They even have to get rid of you, young master?"
Hearing this, Qin Wenyuan chuckled and continued: "So, here comes the problem. What I just said is a large-scale strategy of the Lu family."
"Humans have seven emotions and six desires. Our Changyuan Tea can turn losses into profits for the tea ceremony. Lu Qian saw the business opportunity himself. I think he had the intention to kill me first and then acquire the Changyuan Tea Shop."
When Qin Wenyuan said this, his eyes narrowed slightly, "So, in the face of Lu Qian's personal behavior, we must give it a good beating."
"But this beating is also very particular."
"In this Ruyi Tea Shop, those assassins can die, the servants can die, and even... Li Xiaoran can be killed by us."
"But there is only one taboo, and that is Lu Qian, he must not die!"
"Why is this?" Xu Gou was stunned.
Qin Wenyuan sighed: "Just because his surname is Lu."
"Aristocratic families, especially big ones like the Lu family, find it difficult to live in harmony within them. Whether it's for family property or for proving themselves, various factions will always form."
"For their own beliefs, they will always have internal conflicts and then kill each other."
"If Lu Qian doesn't die, we will only have grudges against Lu Qian and Lu Qian's faction within the Lu family."
"Even people from the Lu family who are on the opposite side of Lu Qian's group may still be our friends."
"However, if there is a sudden invasion of foreign enemies at this time, for example, Lu Qian dies..."
"At this time, the external contradiction becomes the main contradiction. As long as the head of the Lu family is not a fool, he will definitely put aside the internal contradiction first and concentrate all his strength to solve the external contradiction. That is to say, he will gather all the strength of the Lu family to solve us."
"At that time, even the opposite faction of Lu Qian in the Lu family will have to obey the arrangement of the family head, because this is the so-called general trend!"
"Under the general trend, any personal interests will only be reduced without limit!!"
"Nowadays, by controlling the rights to study, controlling scholars, and controlling public opinion, aristocratic families can control great interests and dominance."
"We cannot compete with such a behemoth now."
"This is also the reason why I speak for Lu Qian, because nothing can happen to him."
Qin Wenyuan said leisurely.
After hearing this, Xu Gou was shocked.
He always thought that he, Qin Wenyuan and others were fighting with the Lu family with real swords and guns.
Unexpectedly, this was just a fight with Lu Qian himself!
Other characters in the Lu family didn't care about it at all, and maybe they didn't even know there was such a place as Yuanyuan Tea Shop.
The corner of Xu Gou's mouth twitched. This kind of brain-intensive thing is indeed... not suitable for me!
"The master's calculations are unparalleled, and Xu Gou admires him. Under this general trend, we really can't compete." Xu Gou also sighed.
Qin Wenyuan chuckled and said: "So, remember not to be too silly. If Lu Qian is killed, it will be difficult for us to stay in Chang'an."
"Moreover, after what happened today, one of our trump cards has been revealed. Lu Qian will probably immediately think that there is a mole in Ruyi Tea Shop, and he will probably be thinking about how to find out the mole in the near future."
"But this is exactly what we want, because the reason why we revealed the insider's trump card today is to let them Ruyi Tea Shop take care of their own rear."
"Don't sit idle all day long and find some assassins or assassins to do assassinations."
Xu Gou cupped his hands and said, "I understand. I will send a message to him later at Lu's house to pay attention to him."
Qin Wenyuan nodded, "Yeah."
"Not surprisingly, during the time they were cleaning up the interior, our long-term reputation as a tea shop was also able to be completely established."
"When we become famous, it means we can earn a lot of money. With the money, we can continue to recruit guards."
"At that time, when Lu Qian reacts, we will not be able to let him control us as we did at the beginning."
"This trump card has played a good role."
Afterwards, Qin Wenyuan and Xu Gou continued on their way.
It was sunset, and the two of them finally returned to Baiyun County.
Before entering Baiyun County, Qin Wenyuan's sharp eyes saw a beautiful figure lingering at the gate of the county in the sunset.
As soon as he saw himself, the beautiful figure quickly ran over.
The person who came over turned out to be his wife Chang Le.
"Master, I'm leaving now." Xu Gou resigned with great discernment.
Soon, Changle was only ten meters away from Qin Wenyuan.
She trotted all the way and said anxiously: "Husband! Are you okay?"
Qin Wenyuan smiled and stepped forward to hug his wife.
Changle was very light, which allowed him to directly hold Changle's waist with both hands and lift him up above his head.
"Madam, I can't tell myself. Come on, come and see for yourself. Is there anything wrong with me?"
Changle's face turned red, and she hit Qin Wenyuan twice with a small symbolic force.
Then, with a slight smile on his face, he turned aside and said, "I've checked it out. If you're so energetic and have so much strength to hold me up, then you must be fine."
"Husband, put me down quickly. It's too high. I'm a little scared."
Qin Wenyuan laughed, "Haha, okay!"
After saying that, he let Chang Le down.
The two then walked into Baiyun County hand in hand.
The picture is extremely beautiful.
Just like that poem,
The man is talented, the woman is beautiful, the man is talented and the woman is beautiful, it is a match made in heaven!
