Luan Yi hurriedly threw out the last ruthless card and said temptingly: "Your Majesty, according to the minister's plan, the department store can earn one million taels of silver a year!" ”

The contemplative Spirit Emperor was unstable, and almost slipped to the ground, and asked in surprise: "How much?" ”

"Million!" Luan Yi replied.

Thirty percent of one million taels of silver is 300,000, and you can't make so much money by selling it for ten years! "What Aiqing said is true?"

Luan Yi was unequivocal, "It's true! ”

"Luan Yi, do you know that if you can't earn a million taels of silver, you are guilty of defrauding the king?" Zhang Rang seized the opportunity to counterattack.

Luan Yi nodded, "The minister knows!" The minister promises to enter millions, if Your Majesty does not believe it, the minister is willing to make a military order! If you can't earn a million taels of silver, the minister is willing to come and see him. ”

Emperor Ling was overjoyed when he saw Luan Yi swearing like this.

"In this case, Your Majesty is willing to build this tall building with your ministers?" Luan Yi asked again, but the answer he got was exactly the same as just now.

The Spirit Emperor put away his excited smile, a few traces of smug light flowed from his eyes, and shook his head, "It's not suitable!" ”

"This ......" Luan Yi was disappointed, thinking to himself what was wrong, the words were so clear, the cake was so sweet, why didn't Emperor Ling take the bait!

Just when Luan Yi thought that the plan ended in failure, he heard Emperor Ling say with a smile: "It's not completely impossible to build a building. It's just that...... Aiqing looks, when building a building, I am famous and famous, and I need to pay two things, and Aiqing is paying for people, which is also two things. It's all the same, why do you divide the accounts, could it be that my reputation is not as high as the price of money, or the prosperous area of the West Market is not worth more than Aiqing's manpower? ”

Luan Yi was shocked when he heard this, but he smiled in his heart. "Your Majesty's atonement!"

Emperor Ling motioned for Luan Yi to get up and said with relief: "I didn't mean to blame you. I just want to say that Aiqing's method of dividing accounts is not very fair. It stands to reason that I should get more in return for the more I give, and six or four points is about the same. However, I sympathize with Aiqing's hard work, and the idea is from Aiqing, and I don't mind earning less, just take half of it. The other half belongs to Aiqing, okay? ”

What a big appetite! but empty gloves to go to five points of profit. Luan Yi smiled in his heart. Money didn't matter to him, the most important thing was to establish a long-term business relationship with Emperor Ling. "What Your Majesty said is very true, and if this is the case, then the account will be divided fifty-fifty."

The Spirit Emperor laughed out loud, "Haha! What does the Father think! ”

Zhang Rang wanted to object, but at this time, Emperor Ling's heart had already fascinated Luan Yi with money, and it was useless to persuade him, so he could only cater and say: "But according to Your Majesty's orders." ”

"Good!" Emperor Ling was very happy, "Since everyone has no doubt about righteousness, they will set a five-fifty account and build that department store immediately!" ”

"Your Majesty, for the sake of happy cooperation and abundant financial resources in the future, I would like to pay tribute to you." Luan Yi was beaming, picked up his wine glass, and said.

"!" People are in good spirits when they are happy, and Emperor Ling's face is full of red light, and he drinks it when he raises his lamp.

Luan Yi covered his face with his sleeves and drank a full cup, "By the way, Your Majesty!" In order to build the department store as soon as possible, the land matter should also be implemented as soon as possible. ”

"That's nature!" Emperor Ling swallowed the meat in his mouth, glanced at Zhang Rang, and asked, "Father Rang, when can I transfer three acres of land from Xishi?" ”

Zhang Rang said coldly: "Tomorrow?" ”

"So fast?"

Zhang Rang glanced at Luan Yi and said angrily: "Is the young master the prince questioning our family's ability to do things?" ”

Luan Yi shook his head again and again, shocked in his heart. As far as he knows, the West Market is densely populated, and all the real estate has been spent, and he can't buy it...... Could it be? Zhang Rang wants this guy to forcibly requisition? It's a rogue trick. Harm to the owner of the family to lose such an important property...... However, the current Luan Yi doesn't have time to be compassionate to others, in order to get close to the Spirit Emperor to protect himself, he doesn't mind infringing on the interests of those people, and it's a big deal to give those people more money and food in the future, which can be regarded as compensation.

Luan Yi lowered his head and thought about it, and then said: "Your Majesty, the minister still has something to ask for, I don't know if I should talk about it or not!" ”

"Aiqing is so polite, even if you say it."

"During the construction of the department store and its subsequent operation, there are many things that need to be decided by His Majesty. However, His Majesty is usually in charge of every day, and it is impossible to devote too much energy to dealing with the affairs of the department store, so it is inevitable that important matters will be delayed and the opportunity to make a profit will be lost. Therefore, in order to ensure the normal turnover of the building, the minister suggested that His Majesty send an envoy to the department store, so that he can take care of things on behalf of His Majesty, and secondly, he can also monitor the income and expenditure of the building in real time and report to His Majesty! ”

"Aiqing's words are very reasonable!" Emperor Ling nodded again and again, and was about to ask Zhang Rang if there was a good person who was qualified for this role. But I heard Luan Yi take the first step and recommended: "Your Majesty's palace is Yu Du's father-in-law, quite intelligent, knows arithmetic, knows how to read, and is familiar with the ministers, there is no obstacle to mutual communication." In order to ensure the smooth development of the project and the smooth and proper flow of business and trade in the future, why not let this person accept this position and cooperate with the ministers? ”

At this time, Emperor Ling agreed to anything that was beneficial to the construction of the department store. "In this way, according to what love says, I will send Yu Du to assist you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After eating with Emperor Ling. Early in the morning of the second day, Zhang Rang really sent someone to send a pile of land deeds to Luan Yi's hands, pinching his fingers and calculating, no more, no less, a total of three acres and two points, enough for Luan Yi to build a building.

In order to ensure that during the construction period, Zhang Rang will not manipulate the quality of the project. Luan Yi specially mobilized a reliable team of craftsmen from Jinan to tear down all the houses on the land in Xishi. It attracted nearby residents and merchants to stop for a while, watched curiously, and discussed:

"Huh? What is this for? ”

"I heard that Mr. Ziqi is going to build a building on this land!"

"Building a building? What kind of building to build? It's not going to be another thatched house! The man laughed as he spoke, but he saw the audience with an angry face, "Dare to joke with Mr. Ziqi, I don't want to live anymore!" ”

"Don't be angry, the old man is talking about playing, talking about playing, it can't be taken seriously!"

"Get out!"

As the days passed, the scraps from the collapsed houses were transported out one by one, and the foundations of the buildings were gradually revealed.

Some people who have a heart have made measurements, and they found that this so-called building is 30 zhang long and 20 zhang wide, which is larger than the first hall in the palace.

"Good boy! Only His Majesty the Emperor can build such a large hall, Mr. Ziqi is just a young master, and he is not afraid of being caught and beheaded when he occupies such a large land. ”

However, it soon occurred to some that such concerns were unnecessary. The building has been built for so long, and there is no one from the government to stop it. The reason for this is obvious, the construction of such a building was officially approved. Even smarter people guessed at once that this building must be inseparable from the emperor. As for what the specific relationship is, everyone has different opinions, some people say that Emperor Ling has a whim to build a palace in the West City. Such a statement is not unreasonable, after all, in the hearts of the people, Emperor Ling has long become the embodiment of the confused emperor, and he has done such a thing before. However, this speculation was quickly dismantled, due to the fact that the building did not have a designed courtyard. Without the courtyard guard, it is naturally impossible to be a palace.

Some people also say that His Majesty wants to build an official kiln here. Of course, this kiln is not a kiln for baking ceramics, but a kiln similar to that of a women's branch temple. Emperor Ling wanted to gather the palace maids who were tired of playing with the public here for people to have fun in order to make money. This statement was agreed by many people, and the residents of the city hid the women in their families tightly, for fear that one of them would be accidentally taken into the palace and then thrown into the building.

However, the only thing that puzzles the public in this statement is that it is difficult for people to associate Guanyao with Luan Yi.

No matter how suspicious everyone is, one thing is certain, the department store has received extensive attention from the people of Luoyang City since the foundation was laid. There are people who are bored and go to the West Market every day to pay attention to the progress of the project, and watch the craftsmen add bricks and tiles to this land.

The first floor was completed, with 12 large columns, and the spirit was extraordinary. To the surprise of the people, the building was not topped out, but continued to be built on a higher ground.

The second floor is also there, brilliant and magnificent, and the same 12 large columns are supported, tall and magnificent. The craftsmen did not stop, and another floor was built.

In this third layer, after the capping, the project finally came to an end, no longer developing vertically, but horizontally. windows, doors, columns, and bars, freshly painted; There are also painters who climb high rocks and draw beautiful maps on the eaves and other places.

Downstairs, a group of people looked at the skyscraper that took a year to build, and were so shocked that they couldn't speak for a long time.

Boy, how high is that? It is higher than the walls of Luoyang City.

Yu Du, who was at the foot of the building, was even more shocked, and he felt that he was simply an ant-like existence in front of this building at this moment. More than 6 zhang high, what a terrifying number, this is unique in the history of the Han Dynasty, and it is definitely the tallest building in the Han Dynasty. Oh no, only the tallest building in Dahan still can't reflect its majesty, it should be called the tallest building in the world.

He subconsciously squinted at the young man beside him. He is the only one in the world who can design such a building. I don't know how such an ingenious structure came up with.

Luan Yi didn't know what Yu Du was thinking at this time. At this time, although he was also excited about the imminent completion of the building, he was more dissatisfied with the scale of the building. According to his original vision, the department store should be bigger, a little taller. However, there was no reinforced concrete in the Han Dynasty, and the technology was limited, so it was impossible to build a very tall building. The current building in front of me is already the limit of the current level of architecture, and it can't be bigger or higher.

He sighed wryly, and said to Yu Du: "Father-in-law, the building is basically completed, please give your majesty a tribute, and the department store will be able to cut the ribbon and open next month." At that time, I hope that His Majesty will give this building a more magnificent name. ”

"Whoa!" Yu Du saluted respectfully, "Young Master, don't call our father-in-law again in the future, just call your name!" ”

Luan Yi raised the corners of his mouth, "Even so, Yu Du doesn't have to be polite with Yi, don't call him a young master, just call the table words." ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey!"
