Chapter 60: Preparation
"The theft of Lushan Academy?" Xuan Shijing frowned and said, "I just heard about this from Gu Yuancheng yesterday afternoon, but I didn't expect it to fall on me today." β
"Didn't Gu Yuancheng say it at that time, Chang'an Jingzhao Yin Mansion had already reported to Dali Temple." Long'er said.
"It's really sad, there are not enough people under my hands, and I have to go to investigate the case of Lushan Academy, and the people of Dali Temple don't know the roots, and it's not easy for me to call it." Xuan Shijing rubbed his head and had a headache: "Long'er, is there still anyone on the Zhuangzi?" β
Long'er shook her head: "In the past few years, they have successively withdrawn to Erxian Village, and now in addition to Feng Hao and a few craftsmen from the paper workshop, Zhuangzi is the people of your fiefdom." β
"Write a letter, transfer someone." Xuan Shijing rubbed his head and said, "The case of Lushan Academy is not in a hurry today, I have to find a pile of money to do something, there are people from Erxian Village, and it is not convenient to mobilize, so I just find a place in Chang'an City." Xuan Shijing has always felt that there are not enough people around him, so he simply transferred a group of people from Erxian Village, and he knew the root and knew that he could trust it.
During the war, Xuan Mingde took in orphans a lot, and now those orphans have grown up, and most of them are working in Erxianzhuang.
Since Xuan Shijing came back, the business of the house has gradually become clear, and Qian Dui has set up shops in the two cities of Chang'an City, and the goods transported back from the Western Regions have been continuously replenished to the store, and with the Hou Mansion, it can be said that Vientiane is renewed.
took Long'er and Shi Hu to the West Market, the sign of Shangpinfang had been removed, and it was made a temporary headquarters by Qian Dui, the first floor became a living room, the second floor was where Qian Dui lived, and there was a room where Xuan Shijing came to talk alone.
In the hall on the first floor, Qian Dui was receiving several Hu merchants from the Western Regions, and when he saw Xuan Shijing and the three of them walking in, he hurriedly got up to greet him: "Little Hou Ye, why are you here?" β
Seeing that the money pile was meeting guests, Xuan Shijing was not easy to disturb, and said: "You are busy first, I will go to the second floor, and you will come up again when you are busy." With that, he took Long'er and Shi Hu up to the second floor.
I went upstairs and waited in my room for a long time before the money pile came up.
"Little Marquis." The pile of money bowed.
"Don't be formal, sit." Xuan Shijing motioned for Qian Dui to sit down: "I came here today to discuss something with you, is there a relatively large mansion around Xuanwu Lake?" β
When the money pile didn't come up, Xuan Shijing was thinking about where to place the people who got Erxianzhuang over, and it must not be too close to the Hou Mansion, although it is convenient to mobilize, but the people around the Hou Mansion live in the middle of the court, and there is no suitable place near the Hou Mansion, and come, such a group of people suddenly appeared, which will attract the attention of many dignitaries. After the acquisition in the future, most of the surrounding areas of Xuanwu Lake will become the industrial cluster of the Hou Mansion, and people will be placed there, first, to facilitate mobilization, and secondly, they can take care of these industries on weekdays, especially Xuanwu Hug, if there is no power behind such a large restaurant in Chang'an, it will not be far from closing.
Hearing Gao Jun's question, Qian Dui thought for a while: "There is such a house, which belonged to a high-ranking official of the previous dynasty, and it has been abandoned for a long time, and it was originally intended to be bulldozed and rebuilt in the future." β
"Find someone to renovate as soon as possible, the sooner the better, I plan to transfer people from Erxianzhuang and settle in Chang'an City." Xuan Shijing said: "By the way, what is the movement over there in Xuanwu's arms?" β
"I've been sending people to contact me for the past few days, and the other party seems to be in a hurry, and I also instructed the people below to lower the price as much as possible, little Hou Ye, when are we going to delay?" Qian Dui asked, he was afraid that if he dragged it out like this, coupled with the price reduction, he would mess up the deal.
"En" Xuan Shijing thought for a while and said: "It's almost done, send the clever people under your hands, pay attention to their movements in selling Xuanwu this money, Li Yuanjing is in such a hurry to use the money, there must be something big." β
Qian Dui nodded: "Then I'll let people settle this matter tomorrow, Xiao always thinks that if this is postponed, if the other party sees something, we will lose more than we gain, and I have also noticed over the years that the people under King Jing who help him run these businesses are not ordinary people, otherwise the money obtained is definitely not enough to support King Jing's huge network." Our Hou Mansion has been silent for too long over the years, and some Hu businessmen who have cooperated with us have seen the scene of the Hou Mansion, and they are hesitating whether to cut off business contacts with the Hou Mansion, and it is time to show some strength to deter these beards. β
"Yes. Xuanwu huggs the upper and lower five floors, don't move the lower three floors, the fourth floor is the headquarters of the Shengtang Group, and the fifth floor is set aside for me alone, I have other uses. Xuan Shijing knocked on the table with his fingers: "Since you want to make a faΓ§ade, you might as well make it bigger, find a good day and an auspicious day, and have an opening ceremony of the Shengtang Group, and then it's not a matter to go on like this, hum, let the whole Chang'an still covet the Hou Mansion take a look, the master of the Hou Mansion is back, those who took it from the Hou Mansion back then, all of them must be sent back, and if you don't want to send it, then we can only take it ourselves." β
"Yes, little marquis." Xuan Shijing's words, the money heap he said was boiling, that's right, if you take the things of the Hou Mansion and don't want to send them back, then we will take it ourselves to get it back, as for how much, who knows?
"By the way, Qian Dui, you have been in Chang'an for nearly half a month, do you know about the theft of Lushan Academy?" Xuan Shijing asked.
Qian Dui nodded: "I've heard of it, Lord Qian Xiao was lecturing at Lushan Academy for half a month, and during that period, why did Master Hou suddenly ask about this." β
"Now I'm in Dali Temple, and Dai Zhou gave me this case." Xuan Shijing sighed: "Yesterday I also heard some things about this case in Guozijian, at that time, not only the students of Guozijian, many students around Chang'an had masters and students to Lushan Academy to listen to the school, so many people, that is to say, everyone may be a prisoner, and now these students have been scattered for half a month, how to find out." β
"Master Hou, this requires you to send someone to Lushan Academy to take a walk, as far as the little knows, Lushan Academy lost the tuition fees paid by the students in the treasury, not other treasures, the tuition fees paid by the students are all copper coins, Lushan Academy also has a hundred and ten students, now our Datang circulation currency is only Kaiyuan Tongbao, even if the tuition fee of each student is only consistent money, it is also a large amount, according to this amount of copper coins, the weight is not something that ordinary people can hold, unless it is pulled by an ox cart, the small one thinks, It doesn't look like someone from the outside did it, but it looks like a thief. Qian Dui said.
