Li Feibai smiled.

Guo Xun wanted to buy and sell mirrors as early as he expected! For this reason, when Tang Xin'an learned that the mirror that Cui Wenxiu took away at a high price that day could be mass-produced, he boldly asked him to make a price, no matter how much money he had to make this deal, he flatly refused.

It's not that he doesn't give Tang Xin'an face, it's not that he doesn't want Tang Xin'an to make money, but he knows that there must be a lot of people who covet something as profitable as a mirror. If Tang Xin'an monopolizes the mirror business, he can make a lot of money, but it will also make many people blush, and maybe it will lead to death.

The so-called puff is not guilty, but he is guilty. Tang Xin'an's background is not deep enough, and the backer is not big enough to suppress those who covet it. Take 10,000 steps back, even if Tang Xin'an's background is deep enough and his backing is big enough, he can't let Tang Xin'an monopolize the mirror. He also has to rely on the mirror to cultivate relationships and find backers!

Just like this time, Guo Xun did him so much a favor, and he opened his mouth to do mirror business. If he gives Tang Xin'an a monopoly on all the mirrors, what should he do at this time? The relationship is like the silver stored in the bank, if you use it once, you will lose it once, and if you want to think a lot, you have to keep saving money in it.

Therefore, when Guo Xun opened his mouth to do mirror business, he had to agree immediately and give enough discounts, so that Guo Xun could make a lot of money, and next time Guo Xun would not hesitate to help him again.

To this end, according to the imperial court's practice of dividing the Ming Dynasty into thirteen political secretaries, he also divided the mirror into thirteen general generations, connecting the two capitals, a total of fifteen general generations. gave Henan to Tang Xin'an, and the capital to Guo Xun, as for the other thirteen, there is no candidate for the time being, so we can only wait for a suitable candidate.

The mirror is like this, and he also intends to do the same for profiteering products such as white wine and cigar smoke. It's just that the output of Taibai wine and cigar smoke is too low at this time, so we can only wait for two years. Although the production of mirrors is not high, compared to tobacco and alcohol, it has no seasonality and can be produced overtime.

However, Guo Xun only said that he was in the mirror business, but he did not say that he was in the telescope business, but he did not expect it. He knows that it is not easy for military items to be private, but telescopes are different from firecrackers, knives and guns, in addition to military and civilian use, even so Guo Xun still doesn't want to get involved, so it can be seen that it is more difficult to get private!

He doesn't have the heart to think about these things now, and even if he does, he can't think of a way, so he can only take one step at a time. Now, the most important thing is to make the Tianxiang Building as perfect as possible, and wait for the official opening when the governor and the big and small officials come.

Next, he basically nested in Tianxianglou all winter, polishing Tianxianglou to perfection. The front of Tianxiang Building, although it is the style of hundreds of years later, but the back of Tianxiang Building is still the style of this time, the pavilions and pavilions of the small bridge and flowing water, in line with the aesthetics of people at this time, especially in line with the style of readers.

In front of Tianxiang Building is a six-storey building, and behind Tianxiang Building is about 20 small pavilions, because the area is really limited, these pavilions are very small, but although the sparrows are small, they should have all the organs, and they should not have, such as running water, heating and so on.

The others didn't cost much, after all, they were all home-made, but it cost two or three hundred thousand taels to build them all. What really costs money is the furnishings inside, each piece is carved from fine wood, and the unique shape of flowers and trees is also expensive, the cost is several times that of the building, all down, it can cost nearly a million taels of silver.

Winter goes to spring, and seeing that the governor will come with the officials in a few days, Li Feibai is recuperating at home, thinking about how much income he will bring to himself after the fire in Tianxianglou.

It's all officials. It is said that no matter how honest the prefect is, he can earn 100,000 taels of silver in three years, not to mention that most of these officials are bigger than the prefect, and eighty percent of them are not honest, and their net worth is hundreds of thousands of taels or even millions of taels. A slightly more normal person, when they see the facilities in Tianxiang Building, will they not want to build their home like this and enjoy it?

Each official spends two or three hundred thousand taels, which is tens of millions of taels! This is just a private house in my hometown, and if you add the renovation of the yamen, it is a lot of income, maybe tens of millions of taels. This alone, in less than ten years, he will be the richest master of the Ming Dynasty.

Qian Zijun rushed to Jiyuan the day before the governor came to Jiyuan, saying that he was watching the excitement, but in fact, he was here to teach Li Feibai the rules for dealing with such a big scene. After all, Li Feibai, as a friend of the county commander, is also responsible for receiving his boss, and if he is not careful in his manners in a panic, he will regret it if he offends someone who should not be offended.

After Qian Zijun finished talking about who came here, what his preferences were, and how to do what he liked, he asked, "How are you going to welcome the governor and others?" ”

Li Feibai smiled and said, "How else can you greet you, go to the junction of the two counties to greet you." ”

Qian Zijun was stunned and said, "Go so far?" His expression reminded Li Feibai of Zhao Xuefei, and when Zhao Xuefei discussed with him how to receive the governor and his party, he bluntly said that he would go to the junction of the two counties to greet him.

can also blame Qian Zijun and Zhao Xuefei for having such expressions, according to the convention, they only need to greet them outside the city gate, and they don't need to run dozens of miles away to greet them. But Li Feibai has traveled over hundreds of years later, and he knows where the itch of being an official is, and the farther you go, the more respect you show for your boss, and the happier your boss is!

He didn't say it explicitly, and only used one sentence to dispel Zhao Xuefei's doubts, and the same sentence to dispel Qian Zijun's doubts. He smiled and said: "It's not strange to have many people! ”

Qian Zijun asked again: "The important officials' mansions have all been repaired, and the items inside are all ready." Where do other officials plan to stay at night? There are too many officials who come this time, and Yin Hotel will definitely not be able to stay, but can you arrange other accommodations? ”

Li Feibai said: "It's all arranged!" I'm going to arrange all the big and small officials to go to Tianxiang Tower! ”

Qian Zijun was taken aback and said: "I know that Tianxianglou is your property, and the governor can make some money when he comes to Jiyuan, but you are too child's play!" It's okay for unimportant officials to go to Tianxianglou to live, you ask the governor to go to Tianxianglou without going to the governor's mansion, what do you want to do? How can the Governor allow you to do this! Whisk away in anger, how to end up at that time! ”

Li Feibai looked at Qian Zijun, and his expression was exactly the same as Zhao Xuefei. At this time, no matter how much you explain, it is in vain, so it is better to take a look for yourself. He smiled and said, "It's time to eat, why don't we go eat first!" ”

Qian Zijun refused, and was still trying to get Li Feibai to dispel the idea of arranging all the officials to live in Tianxiang Building. Li Feibai couldn't help but say, and pulled Qian Zijun and left.

When the two came to the door of Tianxiang Building, Qian Zijun was first dumbfounded, looking at the crystal-like glass windows on the upper and lower six floors, dumbfounded.

He was like entering a dream, and was pulled through the corridor by Li Feibai, and it took him half an hour to turn Tianxianglou up and down inside and out, and said: "You are Tianxianglou, it's a fairyland on earth!" ”

Li Feibai smiled: "It's not rude to let the governor live here!" ”

Qian Zijun said: "The governor must be very happy to live here!" I said, how did you grow your brain, why can you build such a warm and comfortable place? It's a bit of a condescension to let you stay in Jiyuan, you should go to the capital to show your strength. Alas, there is no such blessing in the saints today, but let me catch up! By the way, what are we going to eat today, and in which yard are we eating? ”
