Compared with Ji Wuchang's daily conspiracy planning in Hangzhou, Duan Zhong is naturally much more leisurely. Of course, every day, I still have to look at the letters sent by Ji Wuchang through secret channels, and reply to make some instructions. And today Duan Zhong received a letter, the content of which is the result that Duan Zhong desperately wants.

Ji Wu paved the way with silver and contacted the governor Liao through Wei Zhigao, a salt merchant in Jiangnan, all in secret. And half of the 100,000 taels of silver that Ji Wuchang sent out also fell into the hands of the governor. The rest is to grab the business of the small salt merchants who follow Wei Zhigao to drink soup from Jiangnan.

The reason why Duan Chong wanted to do this was because Duan Chong needed to help Xiao Beiping pick up the nails of the second prince, and on the other hand, Duan Chong also wanted to earn more silver. As long as he enters the circle of salt merchants, Duan Zhong can slowly find a way to continue to encroach on other forces, and make a large amount of money, maybe when it is actually mature, this Master Wei will also be pulled down from the identity of the head of the salt merchant in Jiangnan. Ji Wuchang is a businessman, but he is also a conspirator, which is very reassuring. Duan Chong's self-made silver is not as good as Ji Wuchang's, so he only needs to give some secret help.

At this moment, Duan Zhong was sitting in his small courtyard leisurely eating the grapes peeled by Su'er, crossing Erlang's legs, and humming a little song very leisurely. At this time, a maid ran in in a panic: "Lord...... Master, the great prince is here! ”

Duan Zhong spit out the grape seeds in his mouth and said with a smile: "This great prince is here, why are you so flustered?" Just bring him in! ”

Su'er said with a smile: "He is also a prince, you can't always treat him as your own junior brother, in Nanliang, you always have to give him some face." ”

Duan Zhong sighed, okay, go out and pick him up. was about to get up, but he heard Xiao Beiping's laughter outside the door: "Come on, let's treat me as a junior brother." If my senior brother suddenly becomes respectful to me, I can't stand it anymore! ”

Duan Zhong looked at Xiao Beiping who walked in through the door and said with a smile: "You dare to be so brotherless." ”

Xiao Beiping smiled: "If you count your age alone, you are much younger than me." ”

Duan Zhong shook his head and changed the topic: "What kind of wind blew you here today?" I remember that you have been busy coaxing your father to be happy in the palace recently, and you don't want to take half a step. If you come to me for perfume, you don't have to talk about it if you don't have money. ”

Xiao Beiping snorted: "Isn't this all what you taught, why did it come to me now." Besides, the money I paid you has been less recently, and now the expenses in my palace are a little tight, and you as a brother will not help. ”

Duan Zhong sighed: "You don't have to pretend to be poor here." The perfume you took was offered to the ladies in the palace, and the money you got back was probably much more than what was given to me. ”

Xiao Beiping laughed dryly: "I won't talk about this kind of thing that hurts our brother's feelings." Naturally, nothing bad will happen to me this time. ”

Duan Zhong smiled: "Oh, then there is a benefit, I can take it?" ”

Xiao Beiping nodded and said, "This is natural." In two months, my father's 40th birthday, you have to plan for me, if you can please your father, the benefits will definitely not be less. ”

Duan Zhong bowed slightly: "This matter is easy to say." There are still two months, so there's no need to rush. ”

Xiao Beiping shook his head: "This matter is very urgent. My second brother noticed that I had recently come very close to my father, and he began to think of ways to curry favor with him. I see this opportunity for my father's birthday, and he will definitely not let it go. So you have to help me plan well, at least win him, and it's best to make him lose some face. ”

Duan Zhong sighed: "Okay." This is naturally a good thing for you, but not necessarily for me. ”

Xiao Beiping laughed dryly twice: "There is another good thing, I have chosen the address of your building!" ”

"Where?"

"On the edge of the Qinhuai River, it was originally a green building, a building under the name of a giant in the south of the Yangtze River, but the actual operator was my second brother. You just need to decorate it a little and you're ready to go. In order to take this building down, I wasted a lot of energy, and I almost turned my face with my second brother, but you have to help me. ”

Duan Zhong touched his nose: "You don't forget to remind me every day." Come on, I've inherited your affection. Anyway, there's nothing going on now, let's go take a look at the building.

————————————————————————————————————

The decoration of the green building in Nanjing City is really luxurious, and Duan Zhong has entered this building, and he feels that there is no longer much need for his own decoration. This is enough to show that the officials and gentlemen in Nanjing City have thrown much more silver than the giants in the south of the Yangtze River. for they made it all the money of the court, and not earned it themselves.

The name of this green building is called "Liu Cuiju", because there is a row of willows planted by the Qinhuai River, every spring, it is green to the extreme, green to crisp, and this "Liu Cuiju" will get this meaning, but it is extremely elegant.

Duan Zhong and Xiao Beiping were wearing civilian clothes at this time, and they specially picked up an inconspicuous position to sit down, ordered a few side dishes, but did not ask the girl to accompany them. The old bustard saw that the two of them really couldn't squeeze any oil and water, so he scolded his mother and walked away.

And Duan Zhong naturally ignored these, and enjoyed the scenery in the building while drinking a little wine. From time to time, I can still see a few ministers who I saw in the court a few days ago, and these are all acquaintances. Duan Zhong hurriedly pointed it out to Xiao Beiping, but scared him enough: "If the two of us sit here and let the minister see it, and it reaches the ears of my second brother, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of turmoil." ”

Duan Zhong sighed: "You've been messing with me for so long, why are you still so small?" ”

Xiao Beiping shook his head: "Don't talk about this." I've already taken down this building, what do you want to do? ”

Duan Zhong smiled: "What you said. You just have some lip service, and I paid for the 50,000 taels of silver. In other places, I am afraid that I can buy several such buildings. ”

Xiao Beiping almost vomited a mouthful of blood: "This is Nanjing!" This is on the edge of the Qinhuai River! ”

Duan Zhong shook his head: "That's it, I don't bother to tell you this." If you're doing something good, don't let me know. I see that the girls in this building are not bad, you send someone to help me investigate, if the identity is clean, let me stay. However, all the turtles and bustards here are going to be withdrawn for me, these people have been oiled for a long time, and it is not easy to support them, so I still need to find some down-to-earth and obedient people. ”

Xiao Beiping nodded: "But I want to remind you of one thing, although the top brands and oirans by the Qinhuai River are distributed in various green buildings, if you want to stay, you may not be able to keep it." Don't underestimate my second brother's strength. ”

Duan thought for a while: "Thank you for reminding me." There is naturally power behind this brand and Oiran, and I don't want such an Oiran in my building. It's a big deal to cultivate new ones. ”

Xiao Beiping sighed: "Do you know how much silver it takes to train an Oiran?" Best of all, you don't have time! ”

yes, there is no time! This building is about to open in the near future, but there is no first sign and oiran, so what can be used to attract customers? This is indeed a very nerve-wracking question. Duan Zhong touched his nose and suddenly laughed: "People always think of solutions. Passing to the bridgehead is naturally straight, and there will always be no way. He turned his head to Zhu Siwen, who was drinking sullenly on the side, and said: "The matter of this building will be handed over to you, and this place will be closed tomorrow, and it will be decorated in the way I instructed, and there is no need to move in general, this building is still very good." ”

Zhu Siwen nodded extremely depressedly, how could such a drudgery always fall on his head? As a result, Duan handed over the letterhead with decoration requirements, and countless question marks suddenly appeared on Zhu Siwen's head...... What is this catwalk? And this clothing industry is too strange, isn't it, the name is also strange, bikini?

didn't care about Zhu Siwen, who was full of question marks, Louzi saw it, and drank the wine, so naturally he threw away a piece of silver and flashed people. Walking on the road, Xiao Beiping was quite emotional: "I still remember the last time we came out of the Qinglou, we were chased to death, and our lives were almost gone." Since then, I have vowed never to come to this kind of fireworks land again, but I didn't expect to come today, and I still come with you. I just don't know if we'll meet a killer today. ”

Duan Zhong touched his nose and laughed dryly, but did not speak. But in my heart, I was thinking: Naturally, no one will come to chase and kill me tonight, but this time it is my turn to kill and kill!

Sending Xiao Beiping away, Duan Zhong leisurely paced back to the courtyard, chatted with Su'er, and saw that it was almost dark, so he coaxed Su'er to sleep. But he came to the study and wrote a letter. In exchange for a confidant, he explained: "Hand over this letter to the girl Li Shishi in Hangzhou Drunken Red Mansion!" said that it was given by her old acquaintance. ”

Duan Zhong sent the messenger away, and suddenly felt a little nervous. But Duan Zhong didn't go to sleep, but took out a set of night clothes from under the bed and dressed them neatly. Pushing open the door, Fu Yousu was already waiting outside, of course, this Fu Yousu came in over the wall.

Jiang Mingchen had already gone to Hangzhou with a group of people with Ji Wuchang, and the rest of the manpower was handed over to Fu Yousu for temporary management. Duan Zhong touched his nose: "Everyone is staring at it?" ”

Fu Yousu nodded: "Dozens of brothers take turns to watch, the place should be right." ”

Duan Zhong waved his hand with great satisfaction: "Let's go, kill someone!" ”
