Chapter 238: Endless
"You two, please come in, what are the requirements, but it doesn't hurt to say."
Xie Hong snapped his fingers and asked Liu Jin to collect the money, and it was really cool to instruct the original enemy to run errands.
"No need, everything must be said to others, Ben Hou has always been above board, never doing that sneaky thing, just say it here, and let everyone listen to it, lest you play tricks and push it later."
Zhang Heling said that the righteousness was awe-inspiring, but in exchange for the applause of the audience, the onlookers, isn't it just a lively view? If you go into the VIP room, what else is there to see? Ordinary people can't afford to enter that place, and the ticket will cost 50,000 taels, even if you have the face of the Queen Mother, you will have to pay 40,000 taels!
"Oh, so? It's okay, Gonggong Liu, please move the official's chair out......"
Liu Jin moved the chair out with a snort, and then there was a sharp gasp, this chair is comfortable to sit on, but it is too heavy and too big, Liu Gonggong is old, and he really can't afford to do physical work.
“…… Two marquis, please speak. Xie Hong was not humble either, and in a stunned state, he sat down leisurely, well, and shook it twice by the way...... Rocking chair, how can you not shake it?
Zhang Heling is certainly smoking, Zhang Songling's eyes are also a little straight, this really doesn't use bean bags as dry food, his brother is an uncle! There is only one queen mother, and the emperor has not been married, this uncle is full of gold and unique!
It's just a matter of collecting a deposit, it's still a business rule, but now this posture is clearly the master and the subordinate! His brother is a subordinate, standing beside Xie Hong, the master, to report the matter...... Okay, this marquis put up with you first, and you are a good-looking thief when you look back! Zhang Songling gritted his teeth and was ruthless.
The Zhang brothers originally had nothing to do with Xie Hong, let alone any hatred, and there was some reason why they would come to Zhenbaozhai today to find fault.
Empress Dowager Zhang is a model of virtuous and virtuous virtue, so she is also very tightly bound to her two younger brothers, without the support of the Empress Dowager, and she is not close to Zhengde, and the two are like that in the capital.
As a unique uncle, the two of them are naturally very dissatisfied with such a field, but there is no way, don't say that there is no support from the palace, even if there is, how much weight can it have in the eyes of the courtiers? Even Zhengde himself is tight, and he has to follow the rules, and the two of them want to be powerful in the capital, but they really don't have that condition.
After Xie Hong came out of nowhere and caused chaos in the capital, the two of them were very excited at first, if Zhengde's imperial power was strengthened, their two uncles would naturally rise to the top, but they only guessed the beginning, but they didn't guess the end.
Whether Zhengde's imperial power has been strengthened or not, they don't understand government affairs, and they really can't bring about changes in the situation. However, Xie Hong's Ordnance Division and Zhenbao Zhai are thriving and their financial resources are extensive, but they can see clearly. Now that the use of the palace has been settled, the two of them naturally got up and wanted to enter the palace to have an autumn breeze.
Of course, their attempt did not succeed, the two first touched a nail on the side of the Empress Dowager Zhang, and the Empress Dowager rejected them as always, and it was another lecture, which made the two extremely uninteresting.
When they arrived at Zhengde, they couldn't see anyone at all, and it was easy to bump into them once, and Zhengde hurriedly rejected their request. Zhenbao Zhai now seems to be rich in money, but according to Xie Hong's plan, there is not much profit, Xie Hong's investment in research and development and manpower is too high.
What's more, in addition to the investment in technology, Xie Hong also plans to free up his hands, and then begin to consider military issues, which is also a bottomless pit that is not inferior to technology research and development, there are such two money-burning heads, Xie Hong can't wait to break a penny into two petals, Zhengde has to ask him if he wants pocket money, where is the money to give two uncles who are not very close?
Zhengde himself is not dissatisfied, although he has no pocket money, but he is used to being poor, but now there is no shortage of eating, drinking and playing, it is much more interesting than before, what can he say?
Zhengde has no opinion, but the opinions of the two uncles are not small, looking at the treasure of the gold and silver sea, but they can't share a little profit, it's strange if they don't blush! Not to mention, they think that Xie Hong is just an outsider, and now the scenery is infinite; On the contrary, a genuine royal relative like himself is miserable and miserable, how can he be willing?
There is a way to be exhausted and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village, this situation that makes them resentful suddenly changed, just a few days ago, someone suddenly sent a big mansion to them, and this mansion was originally a house built by Lord Han of the Ministry of Households!
Not to mention that Master Han has a prominent family background, just to say that he is the head of the household, how can it be ordinary to build a house for himself? Erzhang was flattered, and when he arrived at the house, he was even more satisfied, the house not only covers an extremely wide area, but also has mountains and rivers inside, and the houses are continuous, and the exquisiteness of those buildings is even far better than the palace in the Forbidden City, how can they not like it?
Of course, there are still some projects in the house, which have not been completely completed, but Rao is so, and Erzhang is also grateful to Lord Han. When the Korean language set up a banquet to invite each other, the two agreed without hesitation.
After three rounds of drinking, when he was in a good mood, Han Wen talked about Xie Hong and Jumbo Zhai.
Erzhang is not stupid, of course he knows that pies will not fall from the sky, and he doesn't know the situation in the DPRK and China, but they are clear about the situation in the palace. originally thought that Han Wen wanted to ask for favors for Wang Yue, after all, the Queen Mother was the sister of the two, and refusing to give money to the two did not mean that the Queen Mother was dissatisfied with them.
As a result, as soon as Han Wen spoke, the two of them understood that the other party wanted the two of them to deal with Xie Hong.
Xie Hong is now known as the plague god, and he is in the limelight in the capital, and the Zhang brothers will not provoke him for no reason, but now, they already have the previous pimple in their hearts, and they have received a heavy gift from Hangul - the value of this house is not easy to estimate, but it is worth more than 100,000 taels at least.
So, the two responded, and the left and right were not hard-hitting, but just used the tone released by the other party to extinguish his prestige. If that's the case, the Queen Mother will definitely not sit idly by, after all, she is her own brother.
came while he was in a hurry, and when he saw Xie Hong going out, he was quite polite, so Zhang Heling planned to put on a score first, but the speed at which Xie Hong flipped his face was called fast, and after turning his face, there was no room at all. The two of them didn't hear Xie Hong's implication of giving them down the steps, but they were half angry by Xie Hong's words with a gun and a stick.
If they hadn't thought of Hanwen's plan with them and had the confidence to win, where would they have endured it now? Zhang Songling took a deep breath, suppressed the fire in his heart, and said loudly: "Shopkeeper, since you should come down, Ben Hou is welcome, since there is a request, if Ben Hou wants an answer immediately, it should be no problem, right?" ”
"It's okay, Master Hou just has to say." Xie Hong smiled slightly, since he dared to let out his words, he naturally had confidence.
"Benhou's house has mountains and water, but it goes its own way, there is no water on the mountain, do you have a solution?" Zhang Songling had the intention to let the rumors go out, and he was full of energy when he spoke.
Water in the mountains? Isn't it a waterfall? Everyone who heard it was wonderful, it was common sense for the water to flow to a low place, could it still be possible to let the water climb up the mountain? This should be nonsense, I'm afraid the plague god will refuse.
"Well said, well said." Xie Hong didn't even raise his eyes, he sat on the rocking chair and swayed, looking relaxed, obviously not taking this unbelievable request seriously.
"Good! Ben Hou is your answer! Not seeing Xie Hong's panicked expression, Zhang Songling was very dissatisfied, he finally remembered the task, he didn't have a seizure, knocked the words to death, and said:
"The water in Benhou's house is not an ordinary stream, but a river, on which boats can be sailed! This river separates the east and west, and it is because Benhou wants to build a bridge over the river to facilitate passage. However, Benhou's painting boat is high, with three floors, and if a bridge is built, the painting boat will not be passable. Xie Hong, since you are skilled, Ben Hou will ask you, do you dare to build this bridge for Ben Hou? ”
Without waiting for Xie Hong to answer, everyone downstairs was amazed again, there is a river in the house, this is not unusual, there are many big families in the city, and the river is also easy to lead, but it is brought in from the canal outside the city. However, this river is more powerful for boats, especially the three-story painting boat.
However, this is nothing unusual, although it is rare in the capital, but in the south of the Yangtze River, there are many such large families, and there are even more rare things. The key is that Shouchang Hou Ti's request can make the bridge pass through the three-story painting boat, how high does it have to be erected? But how wide can the river be in the house? If the arc is too large, can the bridge still be walked?
Let's not talk about whether you can walk or not, even if you can walk, can the bridge be strong? The plague god should refuse this time, right? Everyone's eyes were once again focused on Xie Hong.
Xie Hong still looked lazy, raised his hand slightly, and still promised in his mouth: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Then he added: "If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, building bridges and paving roads is the only way to get rich. ”
If you want to get rich, build roads first? What kind of proverb is this? Everyone was speechless, even Liu Jin secretly crooked his mouth: Didn't you still say last time that if you want to make money, you have to open a store? How did this change the word again.
Zhang Songling still didn't get the response he wanted, he was depressed, how difficult this request was! Why didn't the plague god give a reaction? Is it a hard brace? It must be a hard brace!
He was stunned for a while, puffed up his momentum again, and said, "In addition, Benhou's house is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the sun is abundant. But Ben Hou has a problem: that is, he likes to open the windows when it rains, but he doesn't want the rain to wet the ground, which ...... Do you have a solution? ”
"Oh? It is said that if there is a disease, it is not good to delay the disease. Xie Hong shook his head with a compassionate expression.
Everyone laughed, Zhang Songling's words were ambiguous, and his request was strange, no wonder everyone laughed: If you open the window on a rainy day, can the ground not get wet? There's something wrong with that.
"Xie Hong, you don't play with your lips and tongues, you just have to say whether you can or can't." Zhang Songling knew that he was speechless, and shouted angrily.
"It's hard to treat, but this window is easy to say." Xie Hong smiled faintly, and actually agreed again, without waiting for the Zhang brothers and the onlookers to react, Xie Hong changed his words and said, "But ......?"
The two of them were relieved, Xie Hong agreed too easily, and that relaxed demeanor gave the two of them great pressure, Rao was that they were well prepared, but they were also very nervous, for fear that Xie Hong really had the ability to be unpredictable, and realized all these embarrassing requirements.
Therefore, Xie Hong changed his words, and seemed to be deliberately making things difficult, but in the eyes of the two, he was very relieved, what he was afraid of was that he didn't make it difficult, and if he made difficulties, it meant that the other party also had scruples, which was a good thing.
"The store has a small profit, but the price has to be said in front, and then before the start of construction, the deposit must be paid in advance."
The ease of the two lasted only for a moment, and Xie Hong's subsequent words made the two nervous again, the price? Why is there a price again?
