Chapter 1443 Prepare for a rainy day
He readily paid the balance and then personally poured a cup of tea for Gulin.
Gulin took a sip and asked He Lingchuan, "Island Master He asked me to come here. What do you need to buy?"
"It's a pleasure to work with you for the first time. Tonglinji is indeed a long-established business. We guarantee quality, timeliness and quantity." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "I would like to ask Shopkeeper Gu to help me order some more things."
Gulin certainly wanted it: "Please speak."
When Tu Yuanhong was alive, he had a wide circle of friends and was very popular among dignitaries, so he was responsible for attracting customers, while Gulin was mainly responsible for the preparation of goods downstream.
According to He Lingchuan, one takes orders and the other fulfills them.
The two of them divided the work and cooperated happily.
After Tu Yuanhong's death, Tonglinji's business declined sharply. The main reason was the sudden drop in the number of tourists. Tonglinji could no longer take so many large orders and could only take on some odd jobs that it had previously looked down upon.
If this continues, the channels that Gulin has worked so hard to develop in the past will gradually shrink.
At this time, the appearance of the big customer He Daozhu is extremely precious.
The profit from the three thousand kilograms of Xiangle powder was just enough for Tonglinji to pay this month's salary.
He Lingchuan asked him, "What kind of stone and wood are used to build temples and mansions in Tianshui City?"
"There are five grades of stone. The best grade is Panjin Stone, the next best is Qingfang Stone..." Gulin gave him a detailed introduction, and then said, "People are particular about the stones they use. The first two grades cannot be used. Panjin Stone can only be used in temples and royal families, and Qingfang Stone can only be used by officials and nobles."
Although it is called "green square stone", it is actually a general term for a category, including stones of various colors.
He Lingchuan said, "If I build a private garden in Youhu Lake, I can only use——?"
Starting construction in Youhu Lake? Gulin was shocked: "Master He, who told you that you can build a house in Youhu Lake? That's to harm you! Youhu Lake is the royal territory!"
He Lingchuan smiled and said, "Don't panic, this is something that the Lord has personally agreed to. We just need to go through some procedures."
King Yao agreed to let him build a house in Youhu? Gulin was stunned. He took a long time to digest the information, but it was still unbelievable: "This, you, this is not a joke. Youhu has only had a small building on the island for more than a hundred years, and no one dared to move anywhere else."
If Youhu Lake could be developed, it would be a very popular job. How could it be the turn of a foreign businessman like Yangshan Island Master?
"This news will surely spread in two days. You can compare it then to see if what I said is true." He Lingchuan peeled a peanut and ate it. "But you must get the things I want to buy in the next two days. For example, can you get a big piece of Qingfang stone? Then there will be fewer gaps between the joints, so it will look more majestic."
"What are the specifications?"
"At least two feet long."
Gulin exclaimed: "I'll try."
"Is there a common channel for purchasing blue square stone in Tianshui City?"
"Yes, there are several stone shops in Tianshui City that specialize in Panjin stone and Qingfang stone. Most buyers order from them." Gulin smiled, "In the past twenty years, Tianshui City has been undergoing a large-scale construction. More than 300 temples have been newly built inside and outside the city. There are more than 30 new statues of Miaozhan God alone. The largest one is ten feet high. The surrounding square is extremely wide and can accommodate thousands of people to pay homage at the same time."
He Lingchuan was slightly startled: "So many new temples?"
Gulin coughed lightly: "According to the ancestral rule of Yaoting, the number of palaces cannot exceed that of temples. So..."
So if the royal family wants to build a new palace, they have to build a few for the gods first. He Lingchuan nodded: "I understand."
The Yao Kingdom was indeed very respectful to the gods.
"The king and the royal family have built countless palaces, gardens, terraces, and villas in Tianshui City and the secondary capital. The palace has also been renovated and expanded over the past ten years. If you have been there, you will know how luxurious and beautiful it is."
"I've been there." He Lingchuan had just been to the palace of Yao Kingdom and was deeply impressed by the magnificent houses and beautiful academies there.
Let me put it this way, even the palace of Chiyan Kingdom is not as magnificent as it.
Of course, all the grandeur, magnificence and magnificence are supported by a huge amount of money. Otherwise, why would the palace of Yuan Kingdom look like a dilapidated place?
If Tianshui City wants to build a palace, it must first build a temple, which means more than twice the cost.
More than thirty large (non-essential) buildings are newly built every year, not to mention the renovation of old ones.
You should know that repairing old buildings is also very expensive, sometimes more expensive than building a new one.
He Lingchuan once again refreshed his understanding of Yao State. This country could no longer be called wealthy and powerful, but rather extravagant and lustful.
"Therefore, there are very mature ways to supply Panjin Stone and Qingfang Stone."
He Lingchuan nodded: "Can you avoid these companies when you buy Qingfang Stone in bulk?"
"Bypass?" Gulin was startled, and immediately realized that there was something fishy going on. But after thinking for a while, he said, "It's not impossible. I have a secret source that others may not know, but the cost will be higher."
"It doesn't matter, it's the right amount." He Lingchuan said seriously, "But one thing, it has to be kept secret!"
"Please ask Manager Gu to handle this matter in secret. My transaction with Tonglinji today must not be spread to anyone else!"
Customers have all kinds of demands, and Gulin has seen everything. "Confidentiality" is already the most normal requirement.
"Don't worry, no outsiders will know about it until the goods are delivered to your designated location."
The two discussed for a while, and after the list of goods was finalized one by one, Gulin stood up and left without looking back.
What is Youhu? He knew very well that Qingyang Regent was living there now!
If what the island owner He said is true, and King Yao really gives the south bank of Youhu Lake to him to develop, he will encounter many difficulties in the future.
But this also shows that the development of Youhu Lake will be supported by the monarch.
Island Master He found Tonglinji to order materials. Is this a blessing or a disaster for Tonglinji?
Half a year ago, he would not have taken such a high-risk order.
But now, Gulin has decided to take a chance.
If no way is found to break the impasse, Tonglinji will disappear quietly.
This should not be the fate of Tonglinji, nor should it be the final outcome of Gulin!
When his figure disappeared around the corner, the soul-catching mirror told He Lingchuan:
"It's ok, no one seems to notice him. Hey, you put eyeball spiders on him, right?"
"Yes." This matter was serious, so He Lingchuan was naturally cautious. "Ordering the goods from Tonglinji is just a step ahead, and it is also a precautionary measure."
Qingyang would know which official he was doing business with.
However, if you ask Tonglinji to do something, the initial level of secrecy will be higher.
He Lingchuan finished his tea and stood up to leave.
Because he went out secretly in disguise, it took him some effort to get back to the inn.
……
When He Lingchuan returned to the post station and changed back into normal clothes, someone came to deliver an invitation letter.
He Lingchuan saw it and invited Fan Shuang to come over:
"Brother Fan, someone is going to host a reception for me, will you go with me?"
"Oh, who?" They had been in Tianshui City for several days, and someone only remembered to welcome them?
"The invitation sent by Yuwen Xu said that my old friends from Lingxu City and new friends from Tianshui City invited me to have a chat at Maochun Restaurant." Maochun Restaurant is one of the most famous restaurants in Tianshui City. It is always full of guests and you can often see the rich and powerful.
Yuwenxu specifically mentioned "old friends from Lingxu" because the number of students from Yao Kingdom studying in Lingxu City ranks first in the Shanjin Plain.
The two countries have always had close ties, and Yao Kingdom is very wealthy. The upper class of Yao Kingdom has a great fondness for Beijia, and sending family members to Lingxu to study has long been a trend.
For a child of aristocratic family like Fan Shuang, it would be easier for him to enter the officialdom in Yao State if he returned from Beijia after completing his studies.
Fan Shuang was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, let's go together."
He was originally just a minor official, and it was lucky for him to be the last one to attend activities. In most cases, he was not invited to the gatherings of the rich and powerful.
But after associating with He Xiao, the people and events he met and the parties he attended were more than ten times more diverse than before?
Even the Lord received him!
He Xiao is really his lucky star.
The Soul Mirror asked He Lingchuan: "Why did you bring this person with you?"
He Lingchuan smiled and said nothing.
Compared to the shrewdness and sophistication of other Lingxu City nobles, Fan Shuang was indeed a bit mediocre. But He Lingchuan always brought Fan Shuang with him when he made public appearances.
This is to let everyone know that even if one is mediocre, as long as he stays by He Xiao's side, he can still stand out and become successful.
However, just as the two were about to go out, four or five people suddenly hurried in from outside the inn, and He Lingchuan recognized the uniforms of the palace guards at a glance.
Sanmentou Posthouse is one of the largest official posthouses in Tianshui City. It is crowded with foreign envoys, so it is not surprising that palace guards appear here.
But they walked to the counter and asked, "Which rooms does the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce stay in?"
Before the shopkeeper could answer, He Lingchuan spoke first: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
The leader turned around and asked, "Who are you?"
"I am the owner of the Yangshan Islands."
"I am Liu Wu, the first-class guard commander in front of the emperor." The man introduced himself very straightforwardly. "I came to see you. I have a few routine questions to go over."
He Lingchuan said, "This way please."
He led several palace guards into the guest room, and Fan Shuang followed in.
"I am here to investigate the Xiaotao Villa bloodbath at your order." Liu Wu said to He Lingchuan, "Where were you on the night of the incident?"
"Zhuowei." He Lingchuan was already familiar with this rhetoric. "Mangzhou is too busy, and it's inconvenient to eat and stay. I want to go to Zhuowei to discuss some business."
"Did you make the deal?"
"Everything has been basically agreed, except for the Xiangle Cream." He Lingchuan personally poured him a cup of hot water. "It's a bit unexpected. Zhuoyu is the origin of Xiangle Cream, but the bulk import and export of Xiangle Cream is not handled by Zhuoyu."
"Which companies are Island Master He looking for to discuss business? Are they famous?"
"Of course there are." He Lingchuan then told him about the local wealthy families he visited in Zhuofeng one by one.
At that time, he really went door to door and left enough witnesses, so he was not panicked at all at this moment.
Liu Wu wrote down: "Where were you on the night General Xue and Master Qi were killed?"
"At the Jieshan Inn in Zhuoyu." He Lingchuan pointed to the witness beside him, Fan Shuang, "drinking with the envoy Fan Shuang, the imperial guard Zhao Song, and General Chongwu."
