Datang: Changle, I really don’t have any private money for my husband

Chapter 152

There are many happy events in Liu Sheng's house, not only the birth of his daughter, but also Wu Meiniang's pregnancy, and he was rewarded by the Baron.

Under such circumstances, Liu Sheng's life has been pretty good recently, and what he likes to do most now is to hold his daughter at home and listen to her call him father.

Liu Jiaxi has not only learned to call her daddy recently, she has also learned to call her Aniang. This child has inherited the appearance of Princess Changle, and she can be seen as a beauty since she was a child.

Thinking of his daughter getting married in the future, Liu Sheng felt uncomfortable. He had never felt this kind of feeling before.

Even though the little padded jacket is very heart-warming, when we part in the future, I will feel so uncomfortable.

This also caused Liu Sheng to sometimes involuntarily have tears in his eyes, and Princess Changle would give Liu Sheng a supercilious look from time to time after learning why Liu Sheng was crying:
"The child is still young, husband, you are thinking about things that will happen more than ten years later, isn't this thinking too far?"

Liu Sheng opened his mouth, and didn't know how to refute, maybe in the future, a mother like her will cry harder than a father like himself?
Not only that, but Liu Jiaxi also inherited the cleverness from Liu Sheng, which Liu Sheng believed.

The child's big eyes rolled around, and he was very good at judging the situation. After seeing Liu Sheng, his smile was always much brighter than in A Niang's arms.

Of course, this may also be to cover up the fact that she often urinates in Liu Sheng's arms, but Liu Sheng, the father, doesn't care.

Seeing this scene, Wu Meiniang would always be envious, but when she touched her belly, which had not changed for a while, she felt hopeful.

At home, Liu Shengguo enjoys himself, but there have been some changes in his originally stable business.

I don't know when it started, Chang'an City also has some shops similar to Liu Sheng's restaurant. If it is just similar, it will not make Liu Sheng suspicious, but they even "borrowed" Liu Sheng's restaurant in terms of model.

Not only that, during this period of time, people have been leaving Liu Sheng's shops and turning to those newly opened shops. If they still can't see the tricks in them, then Liu Sheng doesn't need to open business anymore.

In the study room, Liu Sheng looked at the slightly affluent middle-aged men who bowed in front of him with his hands behind his back. They were shopkeepers of those shops under Liu Sheng's hands.

Liu Sheng summoned them here because he wanted to know how serious the situation in the shops under him was.

"How many people left? Did they really go to the new stores?"

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, but quickly stood up again:
"The head of the house, in my shop alone, two guys, a cook, and three alleys have left. For the people under my command, I saw them in those newly opened shops."

"Boss, two chefs have left my shop, but the man has not left, but the alleys are all gone. Fortunately, Mrs. Wu sent some people in time, otherwise, it would be very difficult for my shop to open."

"There are fewer people in our shop..."

Liu Sheng listened to their statements quietly. Some of the shops were poached not many people, but some shops even poached more than half of the people. It seems that the situation is really serious.

He frowned slightly, looked at several people and said:
"The people under your command know those who were poached. Did they meet the people who opened the new shop in private, or were they coerced by others?"

"The head of the house can't be a threat!" As soon as Liu Sheng's voice fell, one of the shopkeepers hurriedly stood up:

"The head of the house, in fact, a few days ago, someone came to me. He said that he was from the Bolingcui family, and wanted to pay me a lot of money to invite me to be the shopkeeper of their shop."

Boling Cui?Is it people with five surnames and Qiwang who want to deal with me?Liu Sheng thought secretly.

"We are not ungrateful people. The head of the family takes care of us so much on weekdays. How could I go with them for this little benefit, so I didn't agree."

The shopkeeper is also a lover, so he hurriedly said:

"However, the head of the family, as expected, what the man said may be true."

For such loyal people, Liu Sheng naturally did not hesitate to praise:
"You've done a good job. If it's really a person with five surnames and seven Wangs, they're probably going to target me, because last time the store under our control sold grain to the imperial court, which shattered their conspiracy."

"Even if you are invited, I'm afraid you will become victims of it, it's not worth it."

Liu Sheng's expression gradually became serious, and he said immediately:

"Well, since you've stayed, it means that you don't want to be poached by them. It seems that you also have feelings for our shop."

"This is natural. If we hadn't been blessed by the head of the family, we wouldn't have achieved this kind of achievement!"

"Heads, we are definitely not ungrateful people, as long as you say something, we will fight with them to the death!"

"We are not afraid, the head of the family, I will wait for you to speak!"

"Okay!" Hearing that all the shopkeepers stood firmly on his side, Liu Sheng felt that he had not misjudged the person, and he said with a smile:
"Since you haven't been poached by them, then I won't let you suffer. Your monthly money will be increased by [-]% to thank you for your support to my Liu."

Friendship belongs to friendship, but money is also a lot.

The shopkeepers originally wanted to refuse, but under Liu Sheng's strong request, they still accepted.

Liu Sheng has such a character, you treat me well, so naturally I can't let you be wronged.

"Just accept it first, maybe it will go up in the future, don't worry about that."

Liu Sheng believes that as long as this difficulty is overcome, the constraints of the stores under his hands will definitely disappear, and in that case, the income will definitely rise to a higher level.

"Next, don't let your guard down, pay special attention to the people in other shops, and...record the names of those people!"

After strictly ordering them to keep an eye on their subordinates and at the same time secretly recruiting people, Liu Sheng sent them away first.

Standing alone in the study, Liu Sheng frowned. It seems that Wu Xing Qi Wang is planning to do something to me recently?
I think their purpose is definitely not just that, they are afraid that because I sold grain to the imperial court last time, they held a grudge against me.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that they are keen on my store's profits in Chang'an City. After all, the stores under my control are all big moneymakers in Chang'an City.

"It seems that they want to join forces to suppress me."

Liu Sheng sighed, how could he make them think so highly of him.

"But..." Liu Sheng clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said:

"Those who eat inside and outside, I will never spare them!"
