Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 204 The best in the world

What?Hundreds of millions of taels of silver?
As expected, the richest man in the empire was not built for nothing!
For the business to be so big, there must be someone in the court. I guess something went wrong with this rebellion, and I wanted to find a backer quickly.

It seems that collusion between government and business is the same in all eras.

"Since Boss Shen is concerned about the country and the people, and is willing to help the empire support some military spending, he is not an unreasonable person, so let's meet him."

Lu Hao relaxed.

"My subordinates will inform him immediately."

Wu Qingyu was extremely happy.

This time, Lu Hao casually allocated tens of millions of taels of silver.

If you are not in charge, you don't know how expensive firewood is!

Even if you get a lot of good things from a house raid that can be auctioned for cash, the more money is, the better.

Since others were willing to give him money, he wanted to take a look.

"No hurry, Mr. Wu, please investigate Shen Jianqiu's situation first and see who was his backer before?"

Lu Hao explained.

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, my subordinates have already investigated Shen Jianqiu's details. Please take a look."

Wu Qingyu quickly handed over a piece of information.

"Hehehe... Okay, Mr. Wu, you have already investigated Boss Shen clearly."

Lu Hao laughed happily.

"Prime Minister, my subordinates have not investigated Shen Jianqiu clearly, and they dare not help him spread the word! What if it is detrimental to the Prime Minister?"

Wu Qingyu responded.

Lu Hao nodded slightly and started to read.

Shen Jianqiu helped the Dayan Empire purchase various war materials and was considered a guest of the Ministry of War.

This time, Yu Wenji rebelled and fell, and Boss Shen's big tree fell down. Now he urgently needs to find a backer, and Lu Hao is undoubtedly the best.

In fact, Boss Shen had already approached Dugu Feng, but Dugu Feng asked him to go find Lu Hao because he was worried that something would happen as soon as he took office.

Boss Shen mainly sells military supplies, including swords, spears, armors and helmets, grain, oil and salt, war horses and chariots, and other war preparation supplies.

The rest is to do some regular business, such as silk brocade, quilts and cotton clothes, boots and gloves, restaurants, inns and gold shops...

The huge industry is no less than that of Tianyin Pavilion.

"Master Prime Minister, Boss Shen said that if you agree, he will entertain you tonight at the Shen family's restaurant, Tianxiapin."

Wu Qingyu reports.

"Hahaha... It seems that Boss Shen used [-] million to pry open the door to the truth! Tell him that the truth will arrive on time."

Lu Haole laughed and responded.

"My subordinates will inform him now."

Wu Qingyu bowed slightly and quietly retreated.

……

"Tianxiapin" restaurant.

Going out from the Zhengyang Gate of the Imperial Palace, along the central axis of the Imperial City, it is less than 500 meters away.

This location can be regarded as the core area of ​​the imperial city. Most of the people living there are high officials of the imperial court, as well as some relatives of the emperor and wealthy families.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Hao came out of the military aircraft, got on the carriage and went straight to the restaurant.

As soon as he left the palace, Wu Qingyu came to pick him up personally, and even brought the elite of the Supervision Department to protect him.

"Master Wu, looking at your formation, could it be that I am going to the Hongmen Banquet this time?"

Lu Hao joked happily.

"Prime Minister, it's better to be careful. This Shen Jianqiu relied on Yu Wenji before."

Wu Qingyu explained.

"Yes, if this boss Shen helps Yu Wenji take revenge, then the truth will be..."

Lu Hao didn't finish his words.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, my subordinates will definitely protect the Prime Minister."

Wu Qingyu promised.

"Okay, this is just a joke, let's go."

Lu Hao smiled.The group of people headed towards the "Tianxiapin" restaurant in a mighty manner.

The entrance of a splendid and magnificent luxury restaurant.

Boss Shen stood upright, with beautiful maids on both sides of him.

Boss Shen, who is 48 years old this year, is wearing a gorgeous brocade robe that is well maintained and looks to be in his thirties.

As the Prime Minister of the Empire is such a precious guest, it is natural that the reception should be grander and more formal.

Seeing the carriage stop, Shen Jianqiu immediately trotted forward and bowed ninety degrees.

"Caomin Shen Jianqiu respectfully welcomes the Prime Minister!"

Lu Hao got out of the car and slowly stepped out of the carriage.

"Boss Shen, there's no need to be polite!"

Lu Hao said with a smile.

"Master Prime Minister, Master Wu, please come inside!"

Shen Jianqiu bowed slightly and made a gesture of invitation.

"Welcome, Prime Minister!"

The beauties on both sides bowed slightly and said at the same time.

"Boss Shen, the ceremony you arranged is too grand!"

Lu Hao said to Shen Jianqiu with a smile.

"It is also an honor for Mr. Shen to be able to come here and make the world's top products shine. Naturally, we cannot be careless when receiving such a precious guest like you!"

Shen Jianqiu's answer was impeccable.

"Hahaha……"

Lu Hao laughed and walked inside.

The group walked through the main building, passed a long corridor and a large garden, and went directly to the luxurious courtyard at the back.

An antique small courtyard, with carved railings and jade columns, a rockery pool, and a small courtyard at the end.

At first glance, it is the place where Boss Shen usually lives.

"I never thought that Boss Shen would have such an elegant courtyard in a place like the Imperial City where land is so valuable. It's really eye-opening!"

Lu Hao smiled and praised.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I appreciate it. The whole family likes peace and quiet, so they will find a quiet place here."

Shen Jianqiu accompanied him with a smile.

Wu Qingyu followed closely, arranging elite personnel from the Supervision Department to guard every passage along the way.

It can be seen that he is still worried that Shen Jianqiu will use the excuse of giving money to plot against Lu Hao.

In fact, among all his subordinates, Wu Qingyu is the most loyal to Lu Hao and the best to Lu Hao.

Lu Hao also valued him the most, and also entrusted the country's intelligence network to his hands. Of course, he also trusted him the most.

Although the powers of the Supervision Department are not as good as those of several ministers in the empire, the power in their hands is by no means smaller than theirs.

Shen Jianqiu led Lu Hao and others into the courtyard and straight into the middle hall.

In the spacious and bright hall, the orange-red carpet and mahogany furniture complement each other. The welcoming pines on the wall were painted by Wu Huazi, a great contemporary painter.

On the shelves in the middle partition, there are various antiques and curios, each of which is priceless.

However, Lu Hao had also gone in to see the royal family's treasure house and Yu Qian's treasure house, so he naturally looked calm and composed.

After passing through the hall, everyone came to the side hall, where the large table was already filled with delicacies from all over the world.

"Master Prime Minister, please take a seat!"

Shen Jianqiu asked Lu Hao to sit on the main seat in the middle.

Lu Hao did not refuse and sat down.

Shen Jianqiu invited Wu Qingyu to sit down, but the latter refused to sit down. He went out and closed the door and stood guard at the door.

Shen Jianqiu must have something secret to discuss with the Prime Minister today. How could he discuss it if he were present?

"I didn't expect that the Prime Minister is so young. He is really young and promising!"

Shen Jianqiu started with a smile and personally helped Lu Hao pour the wine.
