The construction of a palace involves a lot of materials.

Cement, bricks, sand, gravel, wood, paint, ......

Naturally, all these things could not be completed by the Chu Wangfu's own workshop.

Many workshops in Chang'an City have been expanding production recently, and Wang Fugui, who is in charge of material procurement in Xingong, has communicated with the shopkeepers of many workshops and listed the things he needs.

Whoever has good quality, low price, and fast delivery will be handed over to whoever will do it.

There is no affection to talk about, everything speaks with strength.

This gave some small workshops that did not rely on the family a future.

Yongyangfang is located in the southwest corner of Chang'an City, and the flow of people is relatively small.

"Bell!"

"Bell!"

"Bell!"

The sound of metal pounding could be heard in a blacksmith shop.

"Mrs. Kim, I heard that you have rented two shops next to you, will it be too risky?"

This blacksmith shop is called Jintai Iron Shop, named after the blacksmith Jintai, it can be said that this is a well-known iron shop in the southwest area of Chang'an City.

"Third uncle, the shop received a business of 5,000 iron nails at once, I think this is a very good opportunity. The iron nails that I punched out too much, to put it mildly, are not as cheap as me, and those that are cheaper than me are not as strong as me. It's not the first time I've dealt with Wang Fugui, people are very shrewd, but they never trick people, and they don't say anything. Do you know who he's doing things for now? ”

Jin Tai wiped the sweat from her forehead while regularly cooperating with one of her apprentices to beat the fiery red iron.

"Who else does he have to do for a businessman of his size?"

Mrs. Kim's second uncle is a down-and-out literati who doesn't know much about business matters.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Wang Fugui is now doing things for His Royal Highness the King of Chu."

Mrs. Jin said a little excitedly, "What has His Royal Highness the King of Chu been busy with lately, you should have heard about it, right?" ”

"Of course I know this, build a new palace for the Emperor."

Jinhua replied a little unhappily, feeling that his nephew was humiliating himself by asking this question.

Those storytellers in restaurants and inns, someone says about King Chu every day, and he is a frequent visitor, how can he not know.

"Since you know that His Royal Highness the King of Chu is building a new palace, and Wang Fugui is doing things for His Royal Highness the King of Chu, what is he doing with ordering so many iron nails from me? This is still the first batch, and if the craftsmen think it is good, there will be more orders. ”

"Really? Are you saying that these nails were used in the construction of the new palace? ”

As a scholar, Jinhua always has an inexplicable concern about things related to the royal family.

"Nine out of nine are used in the construction of the new palace; I heard that the new palace is divided into several phases of construction, the amount of work is very huge, the number of iron nails needed is definitely not a few, this is the best time for me to expand the scale of Jintai Iron Shop. ”

"You already have seven or eight apprentices now, and if you expand the scale, won't you have to feed dozens of people in the shop? That's a lot of wages every month, aren't you worried about accidentally losing all the hard-earned money you earned before? ”

"Second uncle, how can you make money forever in business? However, this time I think there is a chance that you can make money, and if you believe me, you can throw some money in, and I will count you as your part. ”

Jinhua was a little tempted when he heard this: "I'll think about it again, and I'll come back to you tomorrow." ”

……

Regardless of the era, the businessman's sense of smell is very sensitive.

After the imperial court officially announced the construction of the new palace, many people immediately took action.

"Brother Guo, the timber from the east is basically accepted by me, but all the giant trees that are old are now stored in the warehouse."

"Brother Deng is moving very fast, there is a lot of wood transported from Shannan Road to Chang'an, and I only buy relatively large wood now, and if I collect it all, it will take some time."

The two timber merchants Guo Yang and Deng Feng from Xiangzhou Prefecture in Shannan Province who spoke were the largest source of timber in Chang'an, and the timber merchants in Shannan Province basically monopolized the giant wood business in Chang'an.

As soon as Deng Feng heard that the timber from Shannan had not yet been harvested, he couldn't help frowning, "Brother Guo, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if it weren't for the fact that I accidentally met Hou Bao, the righteous son of Hou Shangshu of the Ministry of War, how dare we have this thought?" Hou Langjun asked us to buy all the wood in Chang'an City as much as possible, and gave 30,000 yuan as the capital for the acquisition, if it is not completed on time, it will be a big ...... for Hou Shangshu at that time."

"Brother Deng, look at what you said." Guo Yang was a little embarrassed by Deng Feng's words.

Originally, when he was in Xiangzhou, the Guo family's business was bigger than the Deng family, but since Deng Feng got married to Lang Jun of the Hou Jun family of the Ministry of War, this situation has slowly changed.

"I heard that Wang Fugui in the West Market used to be buying supplies everywhere in the past few days, I estimate that he is about to find us, Brother Guo, you better hurry up, it's really not good, let's bring the family in again."

"No, it's enough for the two of us, and if we have another family to share the food, the gains will outweigh the losses. Don't worry, I'll release all the servants in the house now, and if I don't collect all the timber from Shannan Road, I won't be surnamed Guo. ”

……

There are many people who have similar ideas to Deng Feng and Guo Yang, even the Turks who have lived in Chang'an City for several years are no exception.

"Aguno, are the shopkeepers of those workshops willing to sell?"

In the past two years, Ayina has been instructed by a master to stop doing the simple work of fighting for others, and began to set his sights on the stone business in Chang'an City.

Ordinary stones, but any mountain, there are innumerable.

However, there are not many high-end stones like granite, which are not many around Chang'an City.

Previously, Ayina had occupied one of the largest granite mines west of Chang'an City, and his subordinates had gathered a group of declining Turks.

Relying on the inconspicuous forced buying and selling, Ayina's pockets gradually bulged, and he even established contact with the Turkic nobles who were better mixed in Chang'an City.

"Chief, don't worry, the shopkeepers of the two workshops agreed to sell, originally they wanted to mention the price, but after I cut off my finger in front of him, they immediately agreed."

Aguno said as if he had raised his left hand.

"Well, Aguno, I was not mistaken. In this acquisition, the government of the stubborn general is also involved, and it can only succeed and not fail. As long as we do it well, the money we earn this time will be enough for a lifetime. ”

"Hehe, chief, I heard that the cost of the new palace is more than 10 million, even if only one-tenth of the money is used to buy the boulder, we really sent it."

"Hmph, we accidentally planted a heel in the Treasure Pavilion at the beginning, but we didn't expect it to be a blessing in disguise. I would like to see how His Royal Highness the King of Chu will feel when he finds that the price of stones has risen several times. Haha~"
