Chapter 126: Dharma Protector
Since business opportunities often appear between the lines and are fleeting, business organizations are the most suitable for arbitrary organizations.
As the old saying goes, it's better to have one person in charge than to mix a thousand people.
Han Tong crossed the line again and again, and Li Zhongyi had to teach him a lesson and tell him who was the boss in charge of this trip.
In short, Han Tong, a rough man who only knows how to fight, can't be allowed to ruin Li Zhongyi's planned plan.
The old Sima no longer lived in this mansion, and a housekeeper who guarded the door led Li Zhongyi and the tooth man into the courtyard.
Li Zhongyi looked at it while walking, and felt that although there were no carved beams and painted buildings here, every grass and tree in the yard showed the elegant charm of the scholars.
The furniture is also made of high-quality wood, Li Zhongyi is very satisfied, and he didn't bargain much, so he made an appointment with the tooth man directly, and two days later, he went to the tooth store to pay the money with one hand and the house with the other.
On the way back to the inn, Han Tong didn't have a long memory at all, and reminded Li Zhongyi to go and see the price of the rice shop.
In order to make Han Tong die, Li Zhongyi simply led him out of the grain shop and went around.
Han Tong took the lead, walked into the grain store, pointed to the brown rice placed in front of the door, and asked the guy who greeted him: "How much is this rice per liter?" β
The guy glanced at Han Tong and said with a smile, "The official is from the north, right?" This rice costs two cents a liter, and it is not the same price. β
Han Tong was silent on the surface, but in private he glared at Li Zhongyi fiercely, which means that why don't you buy such cheap grain?
Li Zhongyi pretended not to see Han Tong's eyes, and asked the guy with a smile: "Xiao Ke is new here." Can you hire a ship to transport the grain? β
The guy smiled and said, "Of course." It's just that the villain must remind the two officials that this grain ship can only be transported south. Can't go north. According to the rules of our Datang, anyone who transports grain to the north in private will be immediately beheaded by the public as long as they pass one stone. β
Han Tong didn't have any expression on his face, but he didn't speak again. Li Zhongyi was worried that he would leak the bottom, so he simply bought twenty stones of grain and hired a car to transport it back to the inn.
All the way. Han Tong was silent and silent. Li Zhongyi knew in his heart that this Hantong was actually a rough person. The heart is good, but he doesn't understand the rules between politics and business.
It's really character that determines fate!
It is precisely because Han Tong is more "upright" that Zhao Lao Er engaged in the Chenqiao Mutiny. The entire Han family was martyred with Han Tong.
The day of the delivery of the house. Although Han Tong has been following Li Zhongyi's side, he just watched silently and did not interject.
Li Zhongyi knew in his heart that Han Tong, who had been hit, had finally found his own position.
After moving to a new house with everyone, Li Zhongyi sent Li Xiaoqi and Li Xiaoba out to inquire about the news, and he himself took Han Tong to visit Dongmingfang, where pen and ink shops are concentrated.
Li Zhongyi casually picked a pen and ink shop. Paced in, the guy who had been guarding the door. Nodding his head, he walked over and greeted him warmly, "This big official, what do you want?" The shop not only has the best pine smoke ink, tung smoke ink, but also the authentic inkstone, the best white linen paper ......"
Li Zhongyi had no interest in collecting inkstones, so accompanied by his buddies, he saw the white linen paper produced by the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Well, whether it is color or texture, it is far worse than Li Zhongyi's big white hemp paper with a new paper medicine.
"How do you sell this kind of paper?" Li Zhongyi asked the guy the price quietly.
"If you buy it for zero, you can get a 95% discount if you buy it for 300 pieces, and if you buy it for a large amount, you can get a 95% discount if you have more than 100 pieces."
Maybe it was because Li Zhongyi was dressed and dressed very elegantly, but the guy hesitated, and according to the authority granted by the big shopkeeper, he said the reserve price he could afford.
Li Zhongyi calculated slightly, the ex-factory price of this kind of white linen paper should be about 200 yuan, and the cost of production is very high.
After visiting several pen and ink shops along the way, Li Zhongyi came to the conclusion that if the high-quality paper he brought was shipped at the price of white linen paper produced by the Southern Tang Dynasty, it would not be marketable at all.
The problem is that even if he exchanged a lot of money, he could buy grain, and if he didn't go through special channels, it would be impossible to transport it back to Da Zhou along the way.
This qiΔ was also expected by Li Zhongyi in advance, which is not surprising.
In the evening, Li Xiaoqi reported an extremely important information, which aroused Li Zhongyi's great attention.
Li Xiaoqi said that five days later, Yang Hanyan, the most famous talented woman in the eastern capital Jiangdufu, will hold a grand literary meeting in the Shangqing Palace.
According to rumors in the teahouse, when the time comes, not only the civil and military officials of Jiangdu Mansion will be present, but even the most famous great writer in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Zhong, will also come to cheer.
Well, the Wenhui is still very grand, Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, it was really a godsend, but it saved him some time for planning.
When the sun rose high, Li Zhongyi took Li Xiaoqi and Han Tong, as well as many retinues, and took several carriages to the Shangqing Palace in the western suburbs of Jiangdu Prefecture.
Li Zhongyi paced into the main hall, and after worshipping the Sanqing patriarch "devoutly", he walked to the Taoist chief who was in charge of welcoming guests, and wrote the words 100,000 pieces of incense on the paper.
The Taoist who greeted the guests thought that he had seen it wrong, and he read it three times before he dared to confirm that it was indeed 20,000 yuan, and he couldn't help but gasp, what a generous stroke.
The whole country of the Southern Tang Dynasty worshiped Taoism, and the Shangqing Palace received a lot of rewards every year, but it was impossible to reach the Cheng dΓΉ of 10,000 guan when all of them were added.
Li Zhongyi didn't look at the Taoist who greeted the guests at all, and walked around the back of the main hall as he wanted, admiring the Taoist culture of the Southern Tang Dynasty, how is it different from that of the Central Plains?
Li Xiaoqi walked in front of the Taoist who greeted the guest, and said politely: "My family's senior officials are sincere to the Tao, and the mundane things are all in the carriage in front of the gate, and I also ask the Taoist to send someone to pick up with the villain." β
"Poor Dao Qingsong, thank you for the generous gift ......" Qingsong's voice trembled when he spoke.
Li Xiaoqi was secretly a little proud in his heart, this green pine's reaction was really expected by the son.
In these years, even the wealthy lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty could not give 20,000 yuan to a Taoist temple in one go.
Li Zhongyi bypassed the main hall of the Shangqing Palace and followed a path paved with cobblestones. Walk all the way to a gazebo.
The entourage who came with them put exquisite tea sets and other things in the pavilion. Set up a small charcoal stove and start boiling water to make tea.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, this benefactor is invited, the poor road elder crane is polite!" When the water was just boiling, a trumpet suddenly sounded beside Li Zhongyi.
Li Zhongyi turned around and saw an old man with a white beard and a fairy wind bone. He got up and said with a smile: "Dao Chief, please take a seat, the tea is ready." β
Changhe sat opposite Li Zhongyi. His mind was not on the tea at all, he took a sip of tea tastelessly, and asked Li Zhongyi with a smile: "Poor Dao pondering, there must be something wrong with the donor?" β
Li Zhongyi was secretly funny. Whoever has received such a great gift. It's hard to be calm in your heart.
"Changhe Dao Chief, in Xia Li Yi, I have heard the reputation of the Shangqing Palace for a long time, I just want to repay my wish in front of Tianzun." Li Zhongyi deliberately vaguely asked Changhe to guess.
Changhe didn't believe Li Zhongyi's nonsense at all, how could there be a person who didn't want anything after sending such a large sum of incense money?
Li Zhongyi deliberately hung the long crane and only talked about the local feng shui people. but there is no mention of what is sought.
Changhe is also an old Taoist priest who has seen the world and has some Taoism. Since Li Zhongyi didn't say anything, he also relaxed his heart and accompanied Li Zhongyi to talk about the world.
After drinking a few cups of fragrant tea, Li Zhongyi suddenly got up to say goodbye, Changhe was secretly shocked, could it be that the young man in front of him really didn't want to reciprocate?
"Donor, please stay." Seeing that Li Zhongyi was about to go far, Changhe hurriedly stopped him, "Donor, Benguan will hold a grand cultural meeting in four days." If it is convenient, Poor Dao wants to invite the donor to participate in the grand event. β
Li Zhongyi knew that Old Dao Changhe wanted to adopt delaying tactics, and the purpose was to take out more money in his pocket.
Think about it, how many years does it take for a donor who has donated an astronomical amount of money without asking for anything in return to meet such a stupid fool?
Changhe's mention was in Li Zhongyi's arms, but Li Zhongyi pretended to hesitate and posed as if he didn't want to participate in the cultural meeting.
Seeing that there was a door to the matter, Changhe hurriedly shouted: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, how can the donor not come to such a grand event?" β
Li Zhongyi sighed intentionally and said, "Since the Taoist chief has invited him so kindly, then he will not be as respectful as his fate." β
Changhe was overjoyed in his heart, and according to the usual practice, the layman who was specially invited by the Taoist temple was naturally one of the protectors of the Wenhui.
Actually, things like vegetarian rice, Changhe doesn't care, these don't cost much. The main reason is that the Taoist temple needs to provide good pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and these things, in addition to pine smoke ink, are the most expensive white linen paper.
At the end of the day, the cost of white linen paper is at least more than 1,000 sheets, which is definitely not a small amount according to the market price, and it will cost at least several hundred yuan.
Although the organizers will provide the money, Nagatsuru still wants to save a lot of money to buy paper. The maintenance fee for the Taoist temple for a month is less than a thousand times.
Changhe Lao Dao, who has always been the master of the house in the view, knows best that the world is not easy and it is difficult to maintain.
Of course, Li Zhongyi knew the rules of the Dharma Protector, but he deliberately did not squeak and waited for Changhe to speak first.
Changhe pulled Li Zhongyi to talk about the Taoist classics for a while, and then talked about some secular gossip, and finally, he took the initiative to hint to Li Zhongyi, "I despise the high-quality pine smoke and ink, and the donor is the protector of the Dharma......
Li Zhongyi was secretly funny, this Changhe looked like an "immortal" posture, but it was about copper smell.
"Since it is a literary meeting, the Taoist chief has a high-quality good ink, and he is the protector of the Dharma, and the matter of this paper is wrapped in the body of the contemptible." Li Zhongyi also didn't want to dry the cranes for too long, so as not to have extraneous branches.
"What's so embarrassing?" Changhe obviously wanted to agree to it, but he still had to pretend to be a b.
Li Zhongyi almost laughed out loud, and said with a smile: "Since it is a grand event together, it is natural to do a little bit of effort." β
"I wonder what the layman needs to despise?" Changhe is also a person who understands the rules, and since Li Zhongyi is bloody, he should also provide this Li Jushi with possible support.
Li Zhongyi pretended to be difficult, thought about it carefully, and then whispered a few things.
Changhe thought that although these things were a little out of line, they were harmless, so he nodded and agreed.
On the way back, Han Tong muttered, "More money is good, you can't spend it all." β
Li Zhongyi ignored Han Tong's cynicism, but he didn't hear it. Han Tong is a reckless man, his economic mind is not good, his political mind is even worse, and he does not understand the world at all, so it is no wonder that the whole family will die later. (To be continued!)
