Buddhism is now like a rainbow, whether it is the court or the people, it belongs to a ruthless character who can walk sideways, no one can afford to provoke, no one dares to provoke, Xu You is no exception.

In addition, he didn't plan to turn his face with Lu Hui immediately, so he readily agreed to this seemingly unreasonable request, and promised to let Su Tang come to the county office tomorrow to withdraw the lawsuit and completely expose the matter. Anyway, only one Gou Chao died before and after, and injured a person with an unknown surname, and the life of the trilogy was as cheap as a cow and horse, and if he died, he died, and when he was injured, no one cared. For example, the guy with a broken arm, Xu You didn't mention it, Sun Ping didn't say it, and Liu Yan probably forgot that there was such a person, as if he didn't exist at all.

The cheapness of human life can be seen from this.

After finishing the business, Xu You and Lu Hui said goodbye, Liu Yan retired at the same time, and the two walked to the steps at the entrance of the county government together, he suddenly stopped, turned to look at Xu You, showed a somewhat playful look, and said: "Gu Fujun is going to hold an elegant gathering on the shore of Qiantang Lake, I heard that Xu Langjun will also be invited to attend?" ”

"You're well-informed! Why, Liu Langjun is also interested in Yaji? ”

Zuo Yan waited beside the willow tree under the steps, and saw Liu Yan approaching Xu You, for fear of an accident, and was about to come quickly, Xu You signaled with his eyes that there was no danger and asked him to stay where he was.

"What am I, how can I have this honor?"

Liu Yan likes to depreciate himself when he speaks, such a person is ashamed of his humble status, but deep down he often regards self-esteem as more important than life. He insulted himself, it was called self-deprecation, but if others dared to do the same, they would have a mortal enmity, and said: "It's just that the Luming Mansion is rewarded, and the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other tools needed for this Yaji are all provided by my Jubao Zhai." Lang Jun's sprinkling gold workshop is naturally good, but this time he can only watch from the sidelines. ”

He said it as if he had nothing to do, but his eyes were carefully staring at Xu You's face. Xu You's heart moved, deliberately revealing an expression mixed with chagrin, envy and jealousy, and coughed twice to cover up, and said: "Jubaozhai has just been established, can Lang Jun have enough manpower to deal with it?" You must know that dozens of people participated in the Yaji, literati and ink writers, writing poems and paintings, and the paper and ink required were not a small number. ”

Liu Yan laughed and said: "Now the skilled papermakers and small workers in Qiantang and even the surrounding counties are all in Jubao Zhai, rushing to work overnight, plus the inventory, thousands of pieces of paper are made. ”

"It's just the weather...... Ten days, is it too late? ”

Xu You crushed the mud on the ground with his feet, a day of torrential rain, which will become a continuous rain line, the winter is less sunny, when it comes to rain and snow, the work of the paper mill has to stop, look at the appearance of today, it is difficult to see the sun without three or five days.

Liu Yan was actually beating a drum in his heart, and Lu Hui asked him to prepare 20,000 pieces of paper for backup, instead of lying to Xu You about the thousands he said. No matter how much Yaji squandered, it would not be necessary to use so much, and a large part of it would be put into Lu Hui's private pocket after the rally, worth 300,000 yuan.

Accepting bribes with paper, known as elegant bribes, although with the word Ya, in fact, is still accepting bribes, which is a serious illegal act, and all dynasties have been prevented by heavy punishments, and they will be exiled at least and killed at worst. But the reason why this kind of thing has been repeatedly banned throughout the ages is because power is in hand, and it is too simple and easy to loot property. For example, if Liu Yan wants to make the name of Jubaozhai through this elegant gathering, he must obtain the nod and consent of the Lu Hui in order to become the exclusive supplier. So, Lu Hui touched his mouth up and down, and thousands of pieces of paper turned into ten thousand pieces of paper, and he easily got an extra 300,000 yuan and filled his personal pocket.

But Liu Yan knows that he can't say it, even if he grits his teeth, he has to do it properly, otherwise, not only will he offend Lu Hui, but even the investment in the early stage will have to be wasted, and the gains outweigh the losses. He has decided to buy used paper from elsewhere at a high price, but in this way, the purchase price and transportation costs will increase dramatically, and not only will he not make money, but he may also lose a lot of money.

It's all worth it, though!

As long as you envelop the Lu Club, let alone 300,000 yuan, even 3 million yuan will not hesitate!

"It's definitely too late for a single paper mill. I'm not afraid to tell Lang Jun that I still have five paper mills of the size of Sajinfang, and let everyone work without sleep, ten days is enough to meet the needs of Yaji. ”

At that time, the papermaking technology was restricted by raw materials, and the efficiency has been very low, whether it is new paper or old paper, most of them are in the hands of the family gate valve, and even Xie An has no paper to ask Wang Xizhi for borrowing, and Liu Yan will want to buy paper from other places for a while to make up the number.

"Then congratulations to Lang Jun in advance! Qiantang Lake Yaji, is a major event in Sanwu, if praised by celebrities and gentlemen, Jubao Zhai has become the largest paper mill in Yangzhou, just around the corner! ”

"Xie Langjun Jiyan!"

After the two separated, they each walked in different directions, Xu Youyou suddenly stopped, turned back and said in a high voice: "Liu Langjun, if there is something dissonant, you can go to Sajinfang to meet, don't dare to say anything else, there are still more than 10,000 pieces of new paper!" ”

Liu Yan's body stagnated for a while, and after a while, he turned his head, his face was gloomy, and said: "If there is really an urgent need, I will go to Sajinfang to meet Lang Jun for help!" ”

"Who is this man?"

Zuo Yan looked at Liu Yan's back, Xu You shrugged his shoulders and said, "A very interesting person!" ”

Jingyuan was very quiet, Li Mu was waiting at the door with two parts, and the others were nowhere to be seen, and after asking, he learned that he had been ordered by He Wei to go to Su Tang's mansion opposite.

When I arrived at the courtyard of Erjin, Dong Solstice hurriedly came out, waited for Xu You to change his clothes, cleaned his hands and face, and said: "I originally let Sister Shuang go, Miss Su was frightened by this, she was the most careful, and she could comfort one or two." But my sister felt that one person was a little boring, so she took the autumn equinox with her. Also, his Yilang Jun was afraid that Liu Yan would be unwilling and send someone to harass Su Zhai at night, so he asked Wu Shan and Yan Yang to bring a few people over to take care of the night......"

Winter Solstice rarely serves Xu You alone, and when he squatted at his feet to stretch his robe, there was a strong masculine atmosphere from the end of his nose, and his face suddenly turned red, and his body was so soft that he didn't know what to do, so he didn't get up for a while.

Xu You didn't pay attention, walked outside, and said, "You work harder, go get something to eat, toss back and forth for a few hours, and your stomach is about to growl when you are hungry!" I'll go find its wings first, and I'll call us when I'm ready! ”

Winter Solstice sat on the ground, looking up at the roof, his eyes full of bewilderment. Although she is a virgin, when she was in the Guo family, she did a lot of fake phoenix deeds with Concubine Song, deep in her heart, she has always been unpretentious to men, and she has never tried the feeling of emotion, which will suddenly make her heart beat, think about it, it may have something to do with witnessing Xu You taking Gou Xian's head with a knife during the day.

Women always worship the strong!

Xu You's wisdom has been fully revealed in many trapped dwellings in the past, but that kind of quiet and calm temperament is admired and respected at most, but it will not produce the strange feeling of talent. Perhaps it was only the blood that spurted out when the knife slashed, mixed with the horror on the faces of others and the surrender in their hearts, that really touched her heartstrings that had never fluttered.

Absolute power, undoubtedly the best*!

Xu You walked through the corridor with twists and turns, and came to the stone arch of Sanjin, He Wei and Zuo Yan walked out one after the other, He Wei did not have an umbrella, ran two steps, got under Xu You's umbrella, flicked the raindrops on the sleeves of the robe, and said with a smile: "I guess Qilang is coming over, what, listen to Fenghu, met Liu Yan?" ”

Xu You tilted the umbrella a few inches towards He Wei's head, and said, "Well, this person seems to be a bit ......."

"People who can go back to Qiantang for revenge by themselves naturally have some ruthless methods!" He Wei didn't think about it, and said: "Lu Hui didn't close the case in court, did he want to shield Liu Yan?" ”

"It's both a shield and a self-preservation! Lu Hui lent the craftsmen of the Baigong Institute to Liu Yan for private use, and if he really investigated it, he couldn't get out of it. ”

Xu You held an umbrella, and He Wei turned around and walked to the corridor to avoid the rain, Zuo Yan followed in, helped collect the umbrella, and stood aside to listen.

"How did Shichiro answer?"

Xu You laughed at himself: "The situation is stronger than people, what else can it do?" I can only bow my head and obey orders! ”

He Wei laughed and said, "This matter alone will not collapse the Lu Society...... If Shichiro does not forgive, Lu Hui can put all the blame on the superintendent of the Baigong Academy, and at most he will not notice the fault, and he will just be punished by his boss. But if you turn your head, you can make Qilang unable to live in peace in Qiantang, so it is wise to listen to his orders for the time being. ”

The meaning of the boss is the same in ancient and modern times, "Jin Shu • Hua Tan Biography": "I am strict in the county government again, and I have a lot of grievances with my boss!" "The superior among them is the title of the subordinate to the superior officer.

"If Lu Hui doesn't make trouble for us, he won't be able to fix him!" Xu You sighed and said, "I'm afraid that this Lu Mingfu is too close to that Liu Yan of unknown origin, and there is a desire to fill it, and something will happen sooner or later!" ”

"If a man does not save himself, it will be difficult to save him, and let it be determined by the number of his life!"

"By the way, the study utensils needed for this Yaji, Lu Hui handed over to Liu Yan to do, if my expectations are correct, Lu Hui will definitely take this opportunity to ask Liu Yan for a sum of money." Xu You seemed to remember something funny, holding on to the pillar next to him, his body kept trembling, and said: "When I left, I asked Liu Yan to come to the gold shop to buy paper, his face, ha, it's really wonderful!" ”

He Wei looked contemptuous and said, "The business is going to be robbed, but Shichiro is smiling happily!" No matter how much paper Lu Hui asked him for, Liu Yan could make it if he could make it, and he could buy it when he could buy it, and it was a big deal to use the money to offset it. But the reputation of Jubao Zhai, with the spread of Yaji, must resound in Yangzhou, at that time, how to compete with others? ”

"When it comes to business, you're not as good as me!" Xu You stopped laughing and said: "Although Liu Yan invited a few old papermakers from Yanxi to come to Qiantang to make paper, but the places are different, the water and soil are different, and the key points of Yanxi paper are produced in rattan, in Xuan, and when knocking on ice. Qiantang has neither a thousand rocks, nor ten thousand ravines, but also no Jinshui and vines, just a few old papermakers, plus the time is pressing, it is impossible to complete the task within ten days anyway, if the work is urgent, defective products are frequent, the cost of consumption is more, and there is no money at all. ”

"That is?"

"In other words, Liu Yan wanted to make a name for himself, but he was burdened by the Lu Club, and the paper products provided for Yaji were not as good as the best in the paper." Xu You smiled: "What is this called, this is called lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot!" ”
