In a side room of the Yamen of the Inner East Factory, Chang Yu sat in front of the window holding a teacup and looking at the flowers and branches in the courtyard, sometimes frowning, sometimes shaking his head gently.

The old man stood on tiptoe at the door, glanced at it, and called: "Factory father."

Chang Yu turned his head to look at him, beckoned him to come in, and then whispered a few words in his ear, Lao Hu answered, and left in a hurry, almost hitting Hu Ling at the door.

Out of the inner Dongchang Yamen, Lao Hu ran straight to Dong'anmen.

There are a lot of carriages gathered outside Dong'an Gate, which is a nearby car dealer outside the palace to solicit passengers, Lao Hu hurriedly got on a carriage: "Xijiang Rice Lane".

Jiangmi Lane is just outside the Daming Gate, it is the largest grain wholesale and retail market in Beijing, the people buy rice, and the grain merchants purchase in this place, and the traffic is not lively.

Song Siyang's Songjia rice shop is in Xijiang Rice Lane, which was originally a small millet shop, and it was not very conspicuous among many shops, but many people found out early this morning that at least four rice shops on the east and west sides of Songjia rice shop took off their signboards and closed their doors at the same time.

The new owner has a new atmosphere, and the Songjia rice shop is entertaining activities, attracting a large number of people who buy rice to gather here, so that the streets are blocked, and more than ten big men are shouting to maintain order and guide traffic.

Lao Hu squeezed to the front with great effort, and was just about to go to the store when a big man stopped him and scolded him for not queuing, but after hearing Lao Hu's muttering, the big man immediately became respectful and hurriedly invited him into the store.

The rice shop is a two-entry yard in the front store and the back yard, Lao Hu followed the big man into the yard and found that there were more big men gathered, all of them didn't look good.

At the door of the lobby, there were two men who saw Lao Hu's figure leave from a distance, so they got into the room, and soon a group of people poured out from inside, and the twelve Taibao headed by Jiang Yiping all gathered here, and everyone hurriedly led Lao Hu into the room to talk.

After a while, the Songjia rice shop suddenly beat the gongs and drums, and the lanterns became lively, and the people queuing up to buy rice watched a little confused as the store took off the Song-character signboard and suddenly replaced it with three bronzing characters of "Octopus".

Could it be that this Song family rice shop has also changed owners, and the onlookers are very curious, and there are many discussions about who is so generous to take down five or six stores at once, and what does this Octopus mean has anything to do with Badaling......

The people eating melons outside the store watched the excitement, but the twelve Taibao in the back hall of the courtyard danced with their eyebrows, raised their glasses to celebrate, and everyone was full of red light, because from today they will be whitewashed.

Under the leadership of Chang Yu, the Twelve Taibao reached an agreement, threw all their belongings, and prepared to make a fortune while serving the imperial court with the head of the East Factory.

Receiving national projects with private enterprises, they really felt unreliable at first, except that there was no such exception, and more because they felt that this kind of good thing could fall on people like themselves, so many nobles and nobles almost did business, and of course they had the best chance of winning the bid for this kind of project.

Therefore, everyone's psychology is up and down, and when they see Lao Hu, they know that the matter has been settled, and the master in the palace is really powerful.

"Chang Ye said, at the latest, the emperor will have an edict down, and you will eat royal meals in the future, and you will be the royal businessman!" Lao Hu received unprecedented courtesy here, and his face was rarely happy.

"Thank you Chang Ye for bringing it" everyone was overjoyed, couldn't help themselves, they raised their glasses to congratulate, Lao Hu explained some things and hurriedly said goodbye, Fang Ba gave him fifty taels of silver, Lao Hu refused to accept it, saying that he was afraid of being punished, and left in the confusion of everyone.

When everyone in Jiangmi Lane celebrated and was ready to do a big job, in the Yamen of the East Factory in the Imperial City, when Chang Yu's tea had just been renewed for the second pot, Chunxiang and Wu Mengming arrived.

Wu Mengming has rarely appeared recently, and he doesn't know what he is busy with, but when he sees his spirits, he knows that his little days are very moist.

Seeing Chang Yu, Lao Wu greeted with a smile on his face, Chang Yu raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "Lao Wu, there is a happy event at home, Le's mouth can't be closed."

Hey, hey, Wu Mengming snorted: "This morning, the magpie in front of the door kept screaming, thinking about what good things to do, it was the factory supervisor who invited him, and I heard that the factory supervisor was going north, and it was difficult to have some business to introduce to the lowly position, but the ugly words were said first, and the lowly job in the north could not go!" ”

"Coercive" Chang Yu scolded, beckoned the two to sit down, and at this time it was already noon, so he ordered Fang San to go to the Shangshan supervisor next door to get some food.

"The overseer said that he was cowardly, and he admitted his humble position, the north was bitterly cold, and the Tartars were eyeing him on the side, and it was extremely dangerous, so he obediently stayed in the capital and ran errands for the emperor."

Chang Yu pouted: "The silver is here, right?" He was talking about the black gold brought back from Taiyuan, which was secretly kept in the yamen on the side of Dongchang Hutong after entering Beijing.

Wu Mengming nodded and grinned.

"That little bit of silver is enough, out of breath!" Chang Yu looked disdainful, but in fact, Wu Mengming went out of Beijing this time to get a small amount of 100,000, which is already a huge amount of money, otherwise this Noh Le's mouth is grinning behind his ears.

"Could it be that the Overseer has a big deal?"

Wu Mengming came to the spirit at once, he was born greedy for money, and he had almost no interest in anything other than money, at this time, he had already smelled the smell from Chang Yu's words, and no one knew better than him that this young master would come and make money.

Seeing that Wu Mengming had bitten the hook, Chang Yu smiled secretly in his heart, but on the surface he was serious: "It's very big, so big that our family can't eat it, it's inconvenient to ask Lord Wu to come over and see how your appetite is."

"I have a big appetite, I can eat it" Wu Mengming stood up rubbly, his hands trembled, patted his belly and said, he was so excited that he lost his temper, and Chunxiang looked at it from the side.

"Sit down first, sit down first" Chang Yu waved his hand, Wu Mengming touched his head awkwardly and sat down: "Overseer, what kind of deal do you tell the lowly position, is it risky?" ”

"If you don't steal or rob your business, how can you take risks" Chang Yu rolled his eyes, paused and said: "But we can't take advantage of such a big bargain for you, you have to do our family a favor first."

"Although the overseer said, as long as the lowly gang is up, it is incumbent on him" Wu Mengming patted his chest and packed the ticket.

"Of course you helped" Chang Yu chuckled, leaned over and whispered: "Lord Wu knows about the assassination of our family late the night before yesterday, and our family should also know about the two Hou Ye Wu."

Wu Mengming suddenly had a bad feeling, and nodded slightly: "I've heard that the two Hou Masters have already recruited?" I also heard that the three princes and many Hou Bo petitioned outside the Qianqing Gate, saying that the overseer had made a trick and framed Zhongliang or something......"

"Lord Wu does know a lot" Chang Yu smiled: "This case seems to be complicated and widely implicated, but in fact, the emperor has already made a decision, that is, to minimize the impact and maximize the benefits."
