"Wang Yuanbao!" Zhang Qian's brows furrowed, and his gaze instantly became as sharp as the tip of a needle.

In my memory, the other party was a round fat man, who smiled before anyone spoke, and never saw sadness on his face. And now, Wang Yuanbao, who was kneeling in front of him and crying and grabbing the ground, was so thin that he was skeletal.

"Wang Yuanbao, what did you say? Your mother-in-law sold your shares? Guo Nu was shocked, no less than Zhang Qian, three steps and two steps rushed over, grabbed Wang Yuanbao's collar, "Didn't Ren Xiaowu specially arrange the courtyard and hide all your family members?" How could anyone else find her? (Note: Chapter 70 is written as Wang Fugui, and it has been changed uniformly, sorry.) ）

"I, my mother-in-law, my mother-in-law is, I am the queen of the eunuch." was caught breathless by the collar of his clothes, but Wang Yuanbao didn't want to struggle, just looked at a pair of desperate eyes and explained intermittently, "There is such a big thing at home, she can't bear to carry it alone." So, so she secretly went to her cousin, who was an official in the capital. As a result, he ......"

"Second junior brother, let him go and let him speak clearly!" Although he was nervous in his heart, Zhang Qian did not lose his senses, and found that Wang Yuanbao's face quickly turned from gray to blue, and quickly pushed Guo Nu to remind him not to hurt people's lives by mistake.

Guo Nu realized that he was too ruthless, and hurriedly loosened Wang Yuanbao's collar. But he kicked the other party again and asked sharply: "What is his cousin's name?" What is the official position? Grandma's, in order to help you, Lao Tzu and the third junior brother have even broken their legs in the past few days, but you are good, you didn't tell Lao Tzu, and then secretly went to find someone else. Grandma, your brother-in-law is really capable, when you were in prison, why didn't you see him go to Xinfeng County to catch you? ”

"It's me who is confused, I deserve to die, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for Brother Ren, I'm sorry for Young Eunuch Zhang!" Wang Yuanbao knelt on his knees, raised his hand and slapped himself fiercely, three times and two times, and he pumped himself to the point that his mouth was full of blood.

"Alright, stop fighting. It won't help you to beat yourself to death! Ren Cong couldn't bear to see it, squatted down, and grabbed his arm, "You tell me what you said before, and tell my senior brother again from beginning to end." Although he didn't come forward to save you directly, he has been directing me and the second senior brother to stand up for you. If you don't want to take revenge, tell him everything you know. ”

"Yes, yes!" Wang Yuanbao had already lost his master, and after listening to Ren Cong's words, he finally regained some senses. While nodding, he continued to cry, "I have been suing in Jingzhao Mansion for the past few days, and I rarely go home. My mother-in-law was worried that something would happen to me, so she asked her cousin, who was an official, to help. His cousin's name is Chen Jie, and he is an inspector of imperial history. He looked down on the vendors and refused to agree. But on the day my mother-in-law went, her cousin's cousin happened to be there, saying that she was helping to find out the news. Then her cousin's cousin brought someone to my house the day before yesterday and persuaded my mother-in-law to give up her wealth to eliminate the disaster and exchange peace for the whole family while I was away......

He cried and said, intermittently, and it took him half a quarter of an hour to give a rough idea of what had happened.

It turned out that his wife cared about it and was chaotic, and she entrusted it to a warm-hearted cousin. As a result, the zealous cousin led the outer chamber of a high-ranking official to his residence. The high-ranking official's outer room was "well-informed", and concluded that Wang Yuanbao was not the real target, but accidentally involved in the conflict between wealthy families and suffered from the pond fish. If you don't get out in time, sooner or later you will end up with a ruined family.

Wang Yuanbao's wife was originally soft, and after listening to the other party's words, she was suddenly frightened. So, the outer room of the high-ranking official persuaded her to take a step back and open the sky. Cashed out all the things that could be exchanged for cash at home, and then left Chang'an with her husband and children to avoid disaster in her hometown of Suzhou. When the wind and waves are calm in the future, with the money in hand, I don't have to worry about letting my husband make a comeback.

So, naturally, Wang Yuanbao's wife "thought" that in addition to the glazed workshop and the shops in the capital, the most likely to involve her husband in the turmoil is the dry shares of the Liushen Commercial Bank. simply followed the official's suggestion, cut through the mess quickly, and took the dry stock out of his hand. And the official's outer room is also extremely "righteous", and he actually bought all the share capital at the price of Wang Yuanbao's last purchase, and sent someone to send a whole box of horseshoe gold the next day!

"For two days in a row, you don't know, who are you fooling?" Guo Nu was anxious, and without waiting for Wang Yuanbao's statement to fall, he loudly pointed out the loopholes in the other party's words.

"I, I was left for interrogation by a reporter of the case in Jingzhao Mansion the day before yesterday, and it ended very late. Then, I asked him and a few officials in charge to go to Pingkangfang! Wang Yuanbao wiped a handful of tears and hung his head in response.

For Pingkangfang, Guo Nu and Ren Cong are no strangers. As long as he has money, any man can enjoy the treatment in it will chase after the county king. Wang Yuanbao spent money to invite the officials who handled the case to go to the Qinglou, and he would definitely accompany him to the end. And among the other party, as long as one of them is drunk and lying in the green building, he has to stay with him until the next morning.

The next day, he didn't have to go home, and continued to go to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion to be questioned. Just hanging on to him with a hope is enough for him to have no time to distract him.

Serial set, this is the standard serial set! There must have been officials from the Jingzhao Mansion involved, and they were deeply involved. Otherwise, he will not go out to damage his reputation and stay in the Qinglou. However, no one else can catch any of these officials! After all, it was Wang Yuanbao's willingness to invite guests, and the law of the Tang Dynasty has never interfered with the behavior of officials sleeping and asking willows.

"Where does the official's outer chamber live? What is her man's name? Guo Nu was unwilling to be beaten and did not fight back, gritted his teeth and continued to get to the bottom of it.

She claimed to be surnamed She and lived in Chongrenfang. The man's surname is Li, and he is the Shaoqing of Zongzheng Temple. Wang Yuanbao wiped away another handful of tears, and his head hung lower.

In an instant, Guo Nu couldn't continue to ask. His face turned blue, and his eyes were so red that they were almost on fire.

Zong Zheng Shaoqing is a fourth-grade official, not a high-ranking official. However, Zongzheng Temple is a yamen specializing in handling the affairs of the royal family, and the secretary and the young secretary in charge must be royalty!

Not to mention whether the woman surnamed She reported a fake name and a false address. Even if she reported her real name and address, with Zhang Qian's current strength, it was impossible for her to come to the door to find trouble with a royal family!

And the Guo family, although there is a true and a false history, they also can't come out of Wang Yuanbao. What's more, when the side room of this royal family bought Wang Yuanbao's dry shares, it could not be regarded as a clever robbery, but left a profit for Wang Yuanbao, and paid the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other!

"Senior brother, after Wang Yuanbao returned home today, he found that something was wrong. Immediately, he took the horseshoe gold that the other party gave him and found my house. stepped forward and pulled Zhang Qian's sleeve, and Ren Cong cautiously interceded for Wang Yuanbao.

When he was treated as a waste by his family, Wang Yuanbao was one of the few people who really regarded him as a friend. So, he was very reluctant to lose this friend. However, Madame Wang's stupid actions may bring great trouble to the Six Gods Trading Company. At this moment, no matter how his senior brother dealt with Wang Yuanbao, it couldn't be considered excessive.

"Young Eunuch Zhang, I know I'm sorry for you, and I deserve to die. I have brought you all the money for the transfer of dry shares. Also, my secret recipe for refining glass! Wang Yuanbao suddenly kowtowed again, and his voice was full of despair that could not be concealed.

The other party may have come to the Six Gods Trading Company, and he and his glazed workshop were unfortunately affected by the pond fish. In fact, the moment he saw the gold after returning home, he was convinced.

However, the more this is the case, the more scared Wang Yuanbao becomes. Zhang Qian and Guo Nu, as well as the rest of the shareholders of the Six Gods Trading Bank, may not be able to provoke the royal family, and it is easier to crush his Wang Yuanbao than to crush an ant. Especially the secretary and young eunuch Zhang Qian, after making Buddhism suffer such a big loss, he could only swallow his anger for the time being. If you want to let Wang Yuanbao's family disappear without knowing it, isn't it as simple as playing?

If his entire family was killed by Zhang Qian's spell, those who bought the shares of the Six Gods Trading Company from his mother-in-law would definitely not stand up for him. Perhaps, he will be afraid of Zhang Qian because of this, and decisively decide to accept it when he sees it. And Zhang Shaojian, killing anyone on the other side may cause unpredictable consequences. Only kill his Wang Yuanbao's whole family, just enough to kill chickens and monkeys!

"Senior brother, Wang Yuanbao really doesn't know. I can vouch for him. Senior brother, he is willing to hand over the secret recipe of the glass, he knows how bad it is! Seeing that Zhang Qian was silent for a long time, Ren Cong was also very worried in his heart. Tugged at his sleeve again, and continued to whisper for help.

Ren Cong is just kind, but not stupid. Knowing that the two armies are facing each other, the easiest one to become a double target is a guy like Wang Yuanbao who has an unfirm position, whether the latter is intentional or unintentional. And with the current power and status of his senior brother, he didn't need to use the three bronze bells at all to clean up Wang Yuanbao.

Maybe his plea really worked, or maybe Zhang Qian himself finally sorted out his thoughts. Just when Ren Cong was about to cry, he finally heard the voice of his senior brother. Very slow, but very calm, and directly ignored the responsibilities of Wang Yuanbao's family, and went straight to another topic, "How many shares did you buy?" Don't rush to answer yet, think about it. I mean, did you buy more shares from someone else in addition to your normal purchases? ”

"That's right, did you hide it from me and Xiao Wu, and secretly collected a lot of other people's shares? Otherwise, you should not be guilty of using gold to buy the shares you hold! Guo Nu suddenly realized, and once again reached out and grabbed Wang Yuanbao's front placket.

So far, even if Wang Yuanbao's family is killed, it will be useless. What's more, their entire family is also a victim. However, how many shares did Wang Yuanbao transfer to the other party in a daze? It is important to find out as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be impossible to judge how much damage the other party could inflict on the Six Gods Trading House next.

"Initially, when Ren Xiaowu first approached me to raise shares, I bought 3,000 hangs. Later, every time I expanded the shares, I paid for some of them! Wang Yuanbao's head almost drooped into Guo Nu's hand, and his voice was also full of guilt, "Last month, some people felt that they had earned enough and wanted to quit, so I paid for some and took some one after another." In total, it cost more than 24,000 hangings. Probably, it can account for half of the total number of shares of the firm, or slightly higher than half of the total number of shares, but I can swear, it certainly does not account for more than 10%! ”

"I'll beat you ungrateful bastard!" Guo Nu couldn't bear it anymore, and raised his fist to greet Wang Yuanbao's head.

The other party has been secretly increasing the number of shares, and he and Ren Cong are unaware of it. Fortunately, his senior brother was vigilant, and at the beginning, he drew the bottom line that the total shareholding of the three brothers should not be less than fifty percent of one, otherwise, let Wang Yuanbao secretly toss for a few more years, and the firm will not have the surname Wang?

"It's definitely not more than one percent, it's definitely not exceeded, I've been careful, carefully drawing lines for myself! Ah, Second Master Guo spares his life, spares his life! Wang Yuanbao knew that he was at a loss, held his head in both hands, and begged for mercy loudly, "The prospects of the firm are so good, if I don't buy it, those dry stocks will definitely fall into the hands of others." Me, I really just want to get a ride and make some money. I am just a grass people, you are all officials, no matter how bold I am, I don't dare to snatch the firm from Young Eunuch Zhang! Oh, the young eunuch spares his life, Ren Wuye, help! ”

"Forget it, stop fighting!" Zhang Qian heard him say pitiful, sighed, stepped forward and grabbed Guo Nu's arm again, "It's because when we first formulated the rules, there were too many omissions. was exploited, and no one else is to blame. Besides, he's all made wedding dresses for people now! ”

"Fat Wang!" Ren Cong trembled with sadness, and also stepped forward and grabbed Wang Yuanbao's collar, "You and I will calculate it now, how many shares have you bought?" When did you buy it? Who bought it from? I'll reconcile with you! ”

"I, I have the account book, for sure, definitely not more than one percent, I really just want to take a ride!" Wang Yuanbao knew that he was sorry for Ren Cong, and he didn't dare to make eye contact with him. Sobbing, he escaped from a fish seal in his arms, and held it in front of Ren Cong's eyes with both hands, "There is also a recipe for burning glass in it, Xiao Wu, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for Young Eunuch Zhang." I can give you both the gold and the recipe. You can take my life too, please, please spare your sister-in-law and nephew, they, they are really innocent. Woohoo, woohoo......"

As he spoke, he couldn't stop crying.

"Who are you helping me be?" Ren Cong snatched the fish seal with his hand, and at the same time scolded, "When did I say that I was going to deal with your wife and children?" You guy, you have a bad conscience in doing things yourself, and you still think that everyone is as bad as you. Lao Tzu was really blind at the beginning, so he took you as a friend, and he wanted to pull you in on any good thing! ”

"The third junior brother arranged a place for your family to live in order to prevent others from retaliating against your family when you sue. You don't miss his favors, and you still think that he is ready to threaten you with your family! Wang Yuanbao, do you have a conscience? Guo Nu's mind turned quickly, and he scolded loudly on the side.

Wang Yuanbao has neither the cheekiness nor the courage to retaliate. Holding his head in his hands, he squatted on the ground and howled. When Ren Cong saw it, he felt more and more uncomfortable. raised his legs, kicked the person on the heel, and continued to scold: "Cry, you still have the face to cry?!" If Lao Tzu wants to harm you, he still uses so much effort to fish you out of Xinfeng County? If Lao Tzu wants to harm you, he will spend so much effort to help your wife and children find a place to hide. Lao Tzu ......"

"Forget it, third junior brother, you first calculate how many shares he holds!!" didn't want Ren Cong to be too sad, Zhang Qian deliberately arranged a task for him, "Then, if you have time, go back to your house again and ask Ling Zun how much cash you can mobilize at most." ”

"Yes!" Ren Cong raised his hand to wipe a handful of tears and agreed in a trembling voice.

"Third junior brother, don't shed tears for this kind of person, it's not worth it!" Guo Nu is slightly older than Ren Cong and knows what it's like to be deceived by his friends. Walked up to him and patted him lightly on the shoulder, "And, Senior Brother is right, the rules we formulated at the beginning did not prohibit shareholders from buying each other's shares. His behavior wasn't kind enough, but it wasn't out of line. ”

After that, he took the fish seal that had been opened from Ren Cong's hand and took out the remaining thick paper from it. He quickly glanced at it a few times, and handed it to Zhang Qian with both hands, "Senior brother, this is Wang Yuanbao's secret recipe for making glass." ”

"Hmm!" Now, Zhang Qian has no reason to be polite to Wang Yuanbao anymore. Take the secret recipe and take a quick look. I don't want to be able to directly refer to the formula to practice the glass, at least I hope that I can get some inspiration from it.

As a result, if you don't look at it, you will be disappointed. The secret method of refining the glass of Wang Yuanbao was not the original glass manufacturing process he expected at all. Rather, it is a special process born between porcelain firing and bell casting, which can be regarded as a different way, or it can be said to be a misguided path.

First of all, the material used to burn the glaze is not the cheap river sand, but the pure quartz powder that the Taoist priests swallow every day in order to live forever. Craftsmen need to use the clay used to burn the bricks, wrap the quartz powder, and put it in the brick kiln to calcinate.

The product thus calcined can only be called coarse material. It takes four to five days of continuous refining before a kiln can be produced. After leaving the kiln, it is also necessary to carefully peel off the clay shell, smash the coarse material, re-grind it into powder, and add different colors to call it fine material. After the fine material is melted, it is processed into various shapes before it can be called glaze.

As for the manufacture of glazed ware, it is more archaic. It turned out to be the same as casting bronze, and the "lost wax method" was used to make a mold first. Then the water filtered out of the fine material and plant ash is put into the clay crucible to boil, and the fine material is boiled into a melted state, and then poured into the mold for overall casting.

After the glazed ware is cast into the basic shape, the glazed ware is sandwiched with iron tongs and placed on the fire to roast softly, and the aesthetics and modeling details of the utensils are increased by means of stretching, shrinking, hoopping, and kneading. If you want to manufacture high-end goods, you need to add another grinding and polishing process in the end, and you are done.

With such a high cost of raw materials and complex manufacturing processes, it is no wonder that the price of glazed products is catching up with Xiuyu. It is also thanks to the low output of the flower dew of the Liushen Workshop for a period of time ago, and Wang Yuanbao's glazed workshop can ensure the timely supply of glazed bottles. If the output of flower dew is doubled in the future, in fact, there is no need for outsiders to destroy it, and the shortcomings of the insufficient production capacity of glass bottles will be immediately exposed!

From this point of view, the person who was calculating the Six Divine Firms became more and more unfathomable. To use the jargon of another time and space, this person's first move interrupted the supply chain of the six gods of flower dew. According to the secret recipe for manufacturing glass provided by Wang Yuanbao, even if the Liushen Trading House found that there was nowhere to buy the bottle, it would organize people to fire the glass by themselves as soon as possible, and it would take at least three to four months from the acquisition of the brick kiln to the manufacture of the finished product. For such a long time, it is enough for those so-called "big food authentic perfumes" to swallow the consumer market that originally belonged to the Six Gods Trading House.

"Although my workshop was burned, there are still thousands of catties of fine materials, and the main craftsmen are also there. If we organize people to start work now, we will have time to make a few hundred bottles before the end of the year! Squatting on the ground and crying for a while, secretly observing Zhang Qian's ugly face, Wang Yuanbao decisively stopped crying and moved to his side and whispered.

"Do you dare to go back to Xinfeng County to recruit people to start work?" Zhang Qian glanced down at this person and asked with a sneer.

Wang Yuanbao immediately shrunk his neck and shook his head again and again with tears in his eyes, "Don't dare, I just sued Wang Zude, the commander of Xinfeng County, although no one is willing to make decisions for me, he must hate me to the bone." But, young eunuch, I can write to help you get all your men here. I, Wang Yuanbao, are indeed greedy for money, but I have never betrayed my friends. Ren Cong helped me so much, if I didn't help him make the bottle, I wouldn't be blind to death! ”

As soon as the words fell, his careful thinking was punctured by Guo Nu on the spot, "Bah, you are afraid that my senior brother will clean you up, so you want to show that you are still useful, and you want to make meritorious contributions!" ”

After that, he handed over another bill to Zhang Qian, and quickly added: "Senior brother, I have calculated with the third junior brother, although he has taken advantage of the loophole, he still knows how to converge." It only holds about 8% of the total share capital. Unless the person who received his share capital can also request the withdrawal of shares together with other shareholders, it will ......"

"Not unless, but definitely!" Zhang Qian shook his head, his smile a little bitter. "Look over there, whose car is driving? It's almost at the door of Zhuangzi! ”

"Ahh

"It's Shaoguo Gong Duan Huaijian's car!" Ren Cong stepped forward with a pair of red eyes, and whispered, "Senior brother, you don't have to come forward." I'll go and meet him, and I'll ask him what he wants to do. ”

"No need, you do what I said, go back and ask your grandfather, how much cash you can use." Zhang Qian sighed with a smile and shook his head slightly. Immediately, he turned his gaze to Guo Nu, who was full of anger, "You are the same, go home first and ask your grandfather how much cash you can use." Then, you take Wang Yuanbao to Xinfeng County and transport the glass materials he stored back to Zhuangzi. ”

"Gold, I still have gold. Young Eunuch Zhang, I am willing to give all this batch of gold to you to use. Count me as atoning for my sins! Wang Yuanbao was afraid that Zhang Qian would not let go of himself in the future, whether he won or lost, so he gritted his teeth and expressed his position again. Xiao Wu, second brother, I really don't know, if I knew, it would kill me, and I wouldn't sell dry shares. I don't believe that Young Eunuch Zhang can't get over this hurdle. Even though I can multiply my business tenfold, I won't sell it just for a little money. Believe me. I'm a greedy man for money, but I'm not a fool! ”

"Big brother!" Ren Cong didn't dare to make the decision, and asked Zhang Qian for instructions with red eyes.

"Then stay, if someone withdraws their shares. How much can this batch of gold buy, no matter how many shares Wang Yuanbao has re-entered! Zhang Qian thought about it and nodded with a smile. In every gesture, he still maintains confidence and calmness.

This self-confidence quickly affected Wang Yuanbao. The latter's eyes lit up, gritted his teeth, and begged in a low voice again: "Young Eunuch Zhang, I still have more than 10,000 other debts, and I can collect them at any time." Also, I have a shop in the city, which can be exchanged for cash at any time. I'll teach you all the calls, and after that, I'll just buy back half of the shares. ”

"You're beautiful!" Guo Nu raised his foot and kicked Wang Yuanbao aside. Immediately leaned to Zhang Qian's side, lowered his voice, and quietly tested, "Senior brother, do you already have a way to deal with it?" I knew you would have a way? Anyone who wants to on your head is a pipe dream! ”

"Don't say it's so dirty, hurry up and get to work!" Zhang Qian slapped him and slapped him three feet away. Then he strode to the door with a smile, and he didn't care, his face was dirty like a ghost painting at the moment.

If the opponent presses with power, he may not be able to hold it up. After all, he, the secretary and young eunuch, has not yet performed his duties, and he does not have any team to support him. And no matter how much he himself has mastered, he has no strength to be the enemy of the entire Tang bureaucracy.

However, since the other party is playing with him, he is in business. It was much easier for him to deal with it. Even if you lose a fine light, it is just an export of the Six Gods Firm.

Like a shortcut to making money like the Six Gods Flower Dew, he still has a lot of them in his head. It won't take half a year to make a comeback.

"Whew—" The south wind howled, blowing his sleeves. fluttering, like two wings that have just grown feathers.
