Chapter 28: Rushing Forward
"Brother, don't say that being an elder brother didn't help you. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info This time, you are going to make a lot of money. Dongfang Shuo entered Yan Ming's hut and saw Yan Ping guarding outside, so he said excitedly.
Yan Ming poured a cup of herbal tea for Dongfang Shuo first, and said with a smile: "I still lack a charcoal small tea stove here, and the next time I come, I will definitely let my brother have hot tea to drink anytime and anywhere." ”
Dongfang Shuo took a sip of hot tea, and said in a hurry: "I'm not busy with drinking tea, if this batch of things is done, don't talk about tea, I just want to drink pearl agate, and I do it at will." ”
"Hehe, tell me about your big business." Yan Ming looked at Dongfang Shuo with a smile.
Dongfang Shuo squinted, looked at Yan Ming with a look of a bamboo in his chest, and said with a smile: "I said brother, this time, you can guess that it is a big business, but you can't guess whose business it is." ”
As he spoke, Dongfang Shuo touched his chest, took out a roll of rough paper, and slowly spread it out.
Yan Ming glanced at it, and his face immediately sank.
Seeing the change in Yan Ming's face, Dongfang Shuo was slightly surprised.
"Brother, did you really use the set of tables and chairs I gave you?" Yan Ming's tone was a little stern, and his face was like water when he asked questions.
"Brother, why do you ask that?" Dongfang Shuo's heart trembled. He himself was proficient in the Zhou Yi and often boasted that he could use the I Ching for divination.
But just like Yan Ming, he asked him about the secret of his heart with one mouth, but he had never seen it.
Yan Ming sighed, calmed his emotions, and looked at Dongfang Shuo with burning eyes, waiting for his answer.
Dongfang Shuo and Yan Ming were in a stalemate for a while, and finally defeated, and said in a low voice: "Brother, you guessed that I didn't use this table for myself, so who it was for, you must be clear." ”
Yan Ming nodded and pointed upwards with his hand.
Dongfang Shuo's eyes were dull for a moment, and then he showed a wonderful expression, stretched out his thumb and said, "Brother, I think I am boundless, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful." ”
"Big brother, you know I don't want to be an official, why?" Yan Ming asked.
This matter is the most important thing for him. Entering the court was not what he wanted. Yan Ming has only one wish here, and that is 'peace and joy, glory and wealth.' ’
Now, on the rough paper diagram given to him by Dongfang Shuo, the lengths of many key dimensions are combined with the number of ninety-five. In the whole world, people who dare to use this number can be imagined.
If it was before Liu Xiaozhu, Yan Ming might not be so sure. But now Liu Che and Liu Xiaozhu have received Dong Zhongshu's three strategies of heaven and man, and all rituals are moving closer to the respect of Confucianism. This ninety-five number belongs to him.
"Brother, brother knows you don't want to have anything to do with the royal family." Dongfang Shuo took a sip of herbal tea, and then said: "But after returning to Chang'an City, my brother thought about it, if you want to make a big move in Maolingtun, you can't get around the emperor's eyes." To tell you the truth, Maolingtun has been determined to be the emperor's resting place after a hundred years. Maybe it will be set up as Maolyeung-eup soon. ”
Although he had already made up his mind for a long time, he heard that Maolingtun was about to be established as Maolingyi, and Yan Ming was still slightly shocked.
Dongfang Shuo pinched his fingers, as if he was thinking again, and said: "I think about it, what kind of real estate development are you going to do in Maolingyi, this is a good thing to make money." But our emperor, don't look young, you can see everything clearly. It's not easy to get away with it right under his nose.
Therefore, as an elder brother, I want to be a foreshadowing. First use the table and chair to attract the emperor's attention, so that your name will have an impression of the emperor brother. In the future, if you really want to build a house and land in Maoling, it is easy to say that it is not. ”
Dongfang Shuo's words said this, Yan Ming already understood.
He slapped himself on the head and secretly scolded himself for being stupid.
In this era, the emperor has one idea - the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister.
If he wants to make a big move under Liu Xiaozhu's nose, and it is also the place where he intends to bury his bones, how can he bypass this emperor who is eloquent and reckless?
It's Dongfang Shuo, who thinks very right, the emperor will never be able to get around.
Since you can't get around, let's just face it. Yan Ming clenched his fists, but now was not the time.
"Big brother, I took this royal table and chair. But for the time being, I don't want to have too much contact with the people in the court. If there is any trouble, I need the eldest brother to help me bear it. Yan Ming pondered.
There are many things to be done, and each of these things can affect this backward society. Before he had a certain right to speak, he didn't want to have a direct connection with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Dongfang Shuo shook his head and said with a smile: "Since the emperor issued an edict to promote virtue and virtue, everyone in the world who has a skill is eager to mix into Chang'an and sell it at a price." Why do you have such a talent and do the opposite? ”
Yan Ming shook his head and said softly, "You don't understand. ”
Dongfang Shuo was also a little confused.
He considers himself a genius in the world, and he is bent on making a name for himself by the emperor's side.
But now compared to Yan Ming, Dongfang Shuo suddenly felt that he was ridiculous.
In Yan Ming's body, Dongfang Shuo felt a hidden pride, which was a kind of bearing. This kind of bearing does not seem to belong to this time and space.
Anyone who tries to fly and fight will be ashamed of himself when facing Yan Ming's breath.
Although Yan Ming looks giggling on weekdays and doesn't seem to care about anything, that hidden pride makes Dongfang Shuo understand that this brother of his has his own bottom line in everything.
"It's really impossible to escape!" Yan Ming said what he didn't ask, and his gloomy face was already stretched. In this moment's time, he had figured it out.
There are some things, since you can't avoid them, let's catch them.
He has read many books, but his favorite person is called 'Wei Xiaobao'. Because this little person, every time at the most dangerous moment, he will rush forward and break out of a new world.
"Rush forward." Yan Ming muttered secretly, and the haze in his whole body was swept away.
He turned his face to look at Dongfang Shuo, showed a wicked smile, and said, "My brother has figured this out, thank you brother for reminding me." He bowed deeply.
Dongfang Shuo was so smart that he knew that Yan Ming was really transparent. He smiled: "Do you know how much the emperor has opened this time - fifty yuan for a set of tables and chairs!" ”
Yan Ming's eyes widened, in this era, money is very real. Five cents can buy four catties of millet. This is still official coinage.
In the early period of Emperor Wen, Deng Tongqian, who was in good condition, was able to top the official system of five wen with three wen.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty tightly bought tables and chairs, and a set cost fifty times. is an ordinary small family, and this fifty yuan is enough to maintain a year's life.
"It's good to have money!" Yan Ming sighed.
"So, the emperor has ordered tables and chairs with you, I think it won't be long before those princes and ministers will come to customize tables and chairs." Dongfang Shuo knows that now that the new emperor is on the throne, many old ministers have not yet figured out the emperor's temper. Everything will follow suit.
Yan Ming smiled and said, "Big brother, this time the tables and chairs customized for the royal family, don't pay a penny, whatever the emperor says, you can do whatever you want." I'm going to design these tables and chairs myself. When the time comes, you will give me propaganda in Chang'an City to die. But there is one thing - the price cannot be determined. If these dignitaries want to customize tables and chairs, they have to come and ask me the price. ”
"Brother, don't be too dark!" Dongfang Shuo's face smiled thief, how could he have the slightest meaning of admonishing Yan Ming.
"Brother, rest assured, the emperor gave a price of fifty yuan, how dare the courtiers give this price? Do they want to be on an equal footing with His Majesty the Emperor? Yan Ming sneered.
Originally, he wanted to make flue-cured tobacco and sell it to Haoqiang Laocai, who will migrate next year, to earn the first pot of gold. Unexpectedly, Dongfang Shuo made a mistake and created a chance for him to make a fortune.
