Linzhi Gongzi [Red Mansion]

In all walks of life, there is a word of doorway.

Many things are tacit rules. If someone wants to break them, they should be more careful when going out.

What Liang Yu and Wen Yishu investigated was actually not that big.Even handing it over to the subordinates, it only took two or three days to complete the work.However, Wen Yishu seemed to have a little fun, and wanted to check it by himself.And Liang Yu, the concubine of the middle palace, has the potential to become a fool at a young age.Wen Yishu said he wanted to check it himself, but he agreed and followed along.

It's hard for Feng Shuo and others, they can't get close, they can't get far, so they can only follow behind bitterly.

The three sat down and ordered the signature dish here.Xue Pan was very attentive. He actually poured wine for the two of them and asked, "What do you want to buy? Why don't you ask the family servants to do it, and run out by yourself."

"It's useless for servants to mess things up," Wen Yishu said with a troubled look, "If it wasn't for that, why should I work on my own."

"Those slaves are really stupid," Xue Pan echoed.He was a little afraid of Mr. Huo, so he only talked to Wen Yishu, "My house has a lot of roads and dishes, just tell me, and I'll help you find them."

"Then I will trouble Brother Xue." Wen Yishu cupped his hands at him, "Recently, we have moved and the old house has been in disrepair for a long time, so we want to repair it. But there is something wrong in Chang'an City, don't worry. Whether it's wood or sand, the price has doubled several times. But the things I bought... I don't think it's very good, and many materials are moth-eaten."

"I'm talking about something, so it's this one," Xue Pan understood, showing a slightly complacent and contemptuous look, "Don't worry about it, these days, you can't find good wood or sand."

"Why is that!"

Xue Pan replied: "You don't know, the palace has recently undergone major repairs, and all those good materials have been sent to the palace."

But in fact, the wood provided to the palace to repair the palace is not the best, but mixed.Wen Yishu and Liang Yu looked at each other, and then heard Xue Pan continue to say: "Nowadays, all the materials in the world are second-class materials, and even if there are good ones, they are hidden. They will be sold when the price is higher in the future." .”

"Could it be that I can't buy it at an extremely high price?" Wen Yishu was puzzled.

"Of course you can't buy it. There are rules in this business. Good things are in the hands of a few dealers. If they don't give them, what do you buy?"

Xue Pan counted his business experience, "Besides, it's just the beginning, and the price has soared so high. If there is a repair in the future, the money... tsk tsk..."

Liang Yu immediately grasped the key point - rework and repair.

They finally opened their mouths for the first time since they met: "Only for the palace?"

"That's natural," Xue Pan stared, "Who taught them how much money they gave."

Wen Yishu smiled: "Fortunately, I know Brother Xue. I wonder if we can go to Xue's shop to find some good materials? With Brother Xue's ability, there should be some."

Xue Pan was flattered by the praise, but he didn't praise Haikou to agree. He just said: "I can't do it. Although my family is an imperial merchant, but the roots have been in Jinling over the years. This section is just to go to a few Zhuangtou to make some money. I sold the materials indiscriminately, just to make some difference. If you are in a hurry to buy, I can help you to ask the head of the dealer. But if you want to buy the best, just let it go. "

"It's too much for such a rare commodity to live in," Wen Yishu feigned disbelief and surprise.

"Why did I lie to you?" Xue Pan stared, "Those village bosses have rules. Even if I take you there, it may not be possible. The royal money is easy to earn, so why bother with other small fish and shrimps."

"Brother Xue calm down, brother Xue calm down," Wen Yishu hurriedly comforted him, "It's just that we don't know what's inside, if there is any offence, please forgive me."

Xue Pan waved his hand, indicating that he was not such a person, "It's been like this since ancient times. Seventy to eighty percent of the silver for doing things is swallowed up. The other thirty percent is used for work. Everyone who buys and sells knows each other. Count, and then those who buy go back to cry poorly, and those who sell take the opportunity to increase the price. If you fool around again, both sides will make a fortune! If there are those who don’t understand the rules, it will be a little cheaper, and there will be no need to mess around here, and the mess will be driven away. !"

"It turned out to be like this," Wen Yishu lowered his head slightly, and seemed to be muttering to himself, "So, the house cannot be repaired, so we have to wait for the palace to finish it?"

Hearing this, Xue Pan sneered: "Well, some people have to wait, it will take three years to complete the work in the palace."

"Why is this? It's not just about repairing a palace..."

"You don't understand again, don't you?" Xue Pan laughed, pointing in the direction of the palace, "Who says the newly repaired things won't break?"

Having said that, it is enough.The rules and tricks inside are also clear.

Wen Yishu shook his head and sighed: "It is said that the people don't fight with the officials. It seems that my house will be rotten for three years."

Xue Pan was envious of his sad little appearance, wishing he could go up and touch it.It was very hard to bear the hindrance of Mr. Huo who was next to him.Taking the opportunity to offer courtesy, "If your family is in a hurry, I don't want to show this face and order some good ones for you!"

"Really?" Wen Yishu showed a surprised expression, but hesitated again, "But didn't you just say that those Zhuangtou are easy to see people and don't let go? Also, what about Mr. Huo next to him?"

Now is the time to show off his abilities, how could Xue Pan show timidity and hurriedly said that he was round!

After finishing speaking, he felt a little regretful, and asked hesitantly, "How much do you... want?"

Wen Yishu glanced at Liang Yu, and said with a smile, "We don't want to embarrass Brother Xue too much. It's just to build a house. A good beam is indispensable. Dare to ask Brother Xue, help us find some beams, is it possible?"

"I don't know Liang Liang... I don't understand," Xue Pan felt a little embarrassed, touched his face, and said, "How about this, let me take you there? You pick the best ones when you see them?"

Finally, that Mr. Huo said: "It's just that those Zhuangtou are not happy to see us."

Wen Yishu also echoed, "Yes, it will be bad if it affects the business of Brother Xue's family."

Seeing Xue Pan's embarrassment immediately, Wen Yishu seized the opportunity and said, "How about this, why don't you tell us the residences of several Zhuangtou. Mr. Huo and I will look for it by ourselves. If you can't find it, then it's fine." , if we find it, we will say that someone else said it, and we will never tell Brother Xue!"

"Really?" Xue Pan was a little worried.

"Of course it is true," Wen Yishu said firmly, "If Brother Xue is offered to come out, where can I find good things in Chang'an City in the future."

"Haha, that's good, that's good," Xue Pan reassured, and mentioned two places outside Zhuangtou City.Seeing the dish coming up, he greeted the two of them to eat.I didn't want Wen Yishu and Mr. Huo to stand up, and refused on the grounds that it was getting late and they had to buy materials earlier.

Xue Pan couldn't stop him, and yelled many times, "Why are you like this! Then you, you and that..."

Wen Yishu turned around and made a gesture of silence, "Don't say anything."

He said again: "I'm just a white person. How can I resist those people? I'll deal with it indiscriminately, so that I don't let myself lose my status. If Brother Xue is considerate of me, don't ask any more questions."

After finishing speaking, it seemed to drift away like a gust of wind.Leaving Xue Pan at the same place, he didn't understand the meaning of this passage for a long time.

Wen Yishu dragged Liang Yu out of the teahouse, and said with a smile, "Okay, I got the clue. Let's ask Feng Shuo and the others to investigate."

Liang Yu had already handed over the clue information to his subordinates and ordered them to search for it.There is also a secret line for King Jian, but this one is not known to Wen Yishu.

"Actually, if you find these things, you can't lower the price of those gravel materials," Wen Yishu spread his hands.

"I know," Liang Yu said with no expression on his face, "but the soaring price of building materials did not start when the palace bought them. It started nearly a month earlier. I want to know the rumor from the palace What are the lines, and whose words are being passed on.”

Wen Yishu thought it made sense, nodded his head and said: "Look, this is the reason why your prince is not allowed to do business. How can other people be as well-informed as you."

The unequal and lagging speed of information acquisition can greatly affect profitability!Even in a modern society with transparent information, some high-end information resources are still monopolized and controlled by the rich and powerful—this is an unsolvable problem.

After thinking about what Liang Yu must not understand, Wen Yishu said again: "I helped you today, you have to pay me back one thing."

Liang Yu knew that he had spilled water again, so the corners of his pursed lips softened a little, "What's the matter, tell me."

"That's right, my restaurant is being targeted." Wen Yishu recalled the arrogance of those people when they left a few days ago, with a pair of brows, "They probably don't give up, so I want to pretend to be a tiger. Let's teach that Zhao Qiaoze a lesson!"

Liang Yu asked: "The person who provoked you was Zhao Qiaoze?"

"That's right," Wen Yishu blinked his eyes, a sliver of cunning flashed in the sunlight, "Actually, I think if there is a grudge, I will repay it ten times. If you don't mind, I want to cheat on the people behind his back." Master, do you want to cooperate?"

"Like when you cheated on Bingyou?" Liang Yu added.

Wen Yishu laughed, "I remember your highness, your acting skills were pretty good at that time."

Liang Yu was a little funny, but also a little helpless, shook his head, and sighed: "Since you are talking about this, I can only risk my life to accompany the gentleman."
