Chapter 253: Do you want to serve the emperor?

"Well, Trojan...... What? Wooden horse? Xie Hong originally looked listless, but he was provoked by Zhengde's trick of flying immortals, and he jumped up at once, even with his calmness, he was immediately messy.

Second brother's request is too strange, Trojan horse? Isn't that something that only female artists in island countries like to ride? Well, the more virtuous and artistic the kind of person, the more I like to ride ...... "Ahem, what do you want?" Trigonal? Or is it one with a bit of accessories on it? Or ......"

Okay, brother has to work hard to adapt, who doesn't have a hobby? Although this hobby is strange, it is not much strange in later generations, isn't it a Trojan horse? Although my brother has never ridden, he has seen a lot. Craftsmanship and knowledge are Xie Hong's two most powerful advantages.

"Huh? There are so many tricks, huh? Listening to Xie Hong's list of names one by one, Zhengde's eyes widened, and he picked left and right in his heart, and then hesitated and asked, "Can I only choose one?" ”

Do you want to try them all? Xie Hong was speechless, and said perfunctorily: "Actually, the effect is almost the same, it's like that...... left and right" When I watched action movies before, the first time I saw it, it was fresh, but I watched too much, and it was like that when I came and went, I tried it again, and it would hurt a lot...... "Then you have to be the fastest." Zhengde made specific requests.

Second brother, you used the wrong word again, you should say the most frequent, right? However, that thing needs an electric motor, and it really can't be made now, so why don't you try it with manpower? This request made Xie Hong very worried.

"It's best to run as fast as my chasing the wind, these days Scholar Xie has entered the palace more diligently than before, and he can't ride a horse at ease, so, big brother, you make a Trojan horse that can run for me, so that Scholar Xie can't say anything." Zhengde didn't pay attention to Xie Hong's expression, and said to himself, in his heart, there is nothing in this world that Xie Hong can't do.

…… It turned out that I was evil and misunderstood. Xie Hong understood the reason when he heard it, and couldn't help but sweat all over his head, love action movies really can't be watched too much, the sequelae are very big, even serious people like my brother have become evil...... "In other words, second brother, you want something that can run fast, and then it's not a horse, right?" As Xie Hong spoke, he thought in his heart, isn't this just a single means of transportation? Thinking about it this way, it's not very difficult, there are a lot of such things in later generations, and Xie Hong's most familiar thing is of course bicycles.

But there are also problems with the bicycle, the chain bearing is just that, and the durable surname can also be ignored, but without rubber, how to solve the buffer surname?

"Yes, yes, it's best if no one can name him, I want to scare Xie Daxue, and then let him not be able to advise him, haha......" probably thinking of Xie Qian's speechless appearance when he admonished, Zhengde laughed uncontrollably, which shows the weight of his resentment against Xie Qian.

"Okay, you wait, I'll do it for you in two days." Xie Hong said casually, a little absent-minded.

Zhengde's request is nothing, he already has an idea, and the technical content of that kind of thing is not too high, but Xie Qian suddenly increased the frequency of entering the palace, but it aroused his vigilance.

All along, when he was an enemy of the foreign dynasty, he has always behaved calmly and calmly, which has been admired by everyone around him, including Zhengde, who regards him as the backbone, and Zhengde has even treated him as a Tinker Bell, as if he is omnipotent.

But in fact, Xie Hong has always been trembling, you must know that the enemy he faces is extremely powerful, and his strength is far above him and Zhengde. Now it seems to be smooth sailing, but it is just built on the basis of the other party's rat trap and unwillingness to bear too serious consequences.

In addition, his image of foresight and far-reaching strategy is actually based on a lot of misunderstandings and coincidences, in fact, it is just taking advantage of the other party's unfamiliarity with him and insufficient preparation, which has formed a situation of punching the master to death. If the other party eases up and responds with all his might, I really don't know who will kill the deer.

Zhengde in history also controlled the situation for a time, although it did not completely overwhelm Wenchen, but it also laid an advantage, but in the end? He must have been just a minor negligent moment, and his life was gone. For Xie Hong, Zhengde's experience is the best warning to him.

The last dispatch of the Shenji Battalion shocked Xie Hong even more, if he hadn't been too busy at the time, and let Zhengde mess up the situation by mistake, maybe he would have suffered heavy losses and even exploded in the wilderness. Those scholars and doctors are not only lip service, they are ruthless and scheming.

Therefore, Xie Hong's vigilance has always been very high, and he is also very careful when he is tempted, although what he does makes the civil officials very uncomfortable, but the actual loss is not big.

For example, this disguised collection of commercial taxes, the total amount seems huge, but in fact, it is calculated separately for decades, and tens of thousands of taels a year are not much pain for the courtiers. This is Xie Hong's caution, if he must forcibly collect the full amount, he may succeed, but it is also likely to make the courtiers completely rebound.

On the contrary, now that it is like this, the courtiers are unhappy but they all pinch their noses and admit it, the scholars and doctors are used to arrogance, even if they suffer a little setback, they will not think that they will really lose their previous status, let alone think that a courtier like Xie Hong can be proud for a long time.

Wang Zhen and Wang Zhi were much more majestic than Xie Hong, but what was the result? The villain's ambition is only for a while, and it is only 100,000 taels of silver for a year or two to avoid disasters, and it is not bad to get a clear name for fighting bravely afterwards, which is better than being embarrassed like Han Guandao.

According to the analysis of Zeng Jian and Xie Hong, Wenchen's mentality is roughly like this, so Xie Hong let it go.

Of course, no big move does not mean that the other party is indifferent, Xie Qian's actions seem to be nothing unusual in Zhengde's eyes, he is used to being nagged, and he will not take it to heart a few more times or less. But for Xie Hong, it was enough to arouse his vigilance.

"Talking counts, you must hurry." Zhengde has always been idle, just had a long discussion with Xie Hong, which had already made him itch all over his body, and he got the promise he wanted, he didn't stay long, he ran away in a few steps, and he didn't even have time for Xie Hong to ask for details.

When Xie Hong chased out, he couldn't see Zhengde's figure anymore, and when he was shaking his head and smiling bitterly, he saw a figure flashing downstairs, and when he raised his eyes, it was Ma Yongcheng.

"Thank you, sir!"

The voice was full of admiration, and Ma Yongcheng now admired Xie Hong so much. Since the opening of Zhenbao Zhai, the silver that has passed through his hands has been nearly 10 million taels, and he has never heard of so much money before, even if he has never heard of it! It's not much different from the annual income of the Ming Dynasty, is this a little stone into gold?

Jumbo Zhai has only been open for more than a month, and its income has exceeded Daming's income in a year, and it can be expected that the income will only be more in the future, not less. Although the agency business will not make much progress, VIP customization has just had a beginning, not to mention that the copyright fee will also be endless, and you will have to worry about money in the future?

Therefore, Ma Yongcheng was happy, looking at Xie Hong's eyes as if he was looking at a mountain of gold.

"Grandpa Ma, why do you have time to come up?" Xie Hong asked.

Ma Yongcheng smiled flatteringly, and said in a low voice: "Master Xie, Miss Yu is here, didn't you say that she can't be seen by others when she comes, and she should be more secret?" You know, our family is very tight, and there won't be any rumors outside after the fact......" As he spoke, Ma Yongcheng glanced at Xie Hong knowingly.

"......" and a father-in-law exchanged ambiguous eyes, Xie Hong was the first time, his back was a little cold, and he hurriedly said: "Father-in-law Ma, I'm tired of you, you let Miss Yu come up." ”

"You can rest assured, you are guaranteed to be secret!" Ma Yongcheng happily went downstairs to call someone, and did not forget to promise before leaving.

The elder brother found out that there are few reliable people around the second brother. Xie Hong was very helpless, Yu Chunli was one of the intelligence leaders he had booked, of course the exchanges had to be secretive, but where did Ma Yongcheng think of that guy? It's so evil, brother is a serious person.

"Master Xie, you let the slave family come today, but with ......" During this time, Xie Hong's means of turning the rain and clouds, Chunli also saw it in her eyes, and her heart was even hotter, can you make such a big scene, is that little thing in Lichun Courtyard still a matter? Therefore, she didn't care about being polite, and after a few pleasantries, she asked the main question.

"Well, Miss Yu, that thing is almost ready." Xie Hong smiled and nodded, and when Chunli was in full bloom, he changed his words and said, "However, this official invited you here today not for this matter. ”

"Please show me." Chunli's ability to control her emotions was still above Xie Hong, although she was very excited, but when she heard Xie Hong's tone was a little dignified, she also smiled and replied solemnly.

"These days, Miss Yu has helped the official a lot......" Xie Hong's idea is right, Qinglou in this era is indeed a news distribution center, and through the information provided by Chunli, he also saved a lot of trouble when making plans.

"Your Excellency is serious......" Chunli didn't know what Xie Hong wanted to say, and she didn't dare to answer indiscriminately.

"It's not heavy, it's not heavy at all, the official does things, pays attention to a meritorious service, and pays for your work, you give the official a force, and you will naturally be rewarded. However, the specific reward is up to you, girl, to choose. Xie Hong's unfathomable posture made Chunli a little frightened.

"The little woman is stupid, please make it clear to the adult."

"Opportunities and risks have always coexisted, and so is the remuneration of the official, the official will start with the least risk......" Xie Hong raised a finger, "One, it is this project, the official will give you a preferential price, well, a 50% discount, what does the girl think?" ”

"The little woman is grateful, but forgive the little woman's offense, since the adult said that there are other options, can you tell the little woman about it?" Chunli pursed her lips and smiled, and said amorously.

The final project payment has not yet been decided, but according to the rules of Zhenbao Zhai, it is at least more than 100,000 taels, that is, this discount is at least 50,000 taels. With so much silver, even if Lichun Courtyard is known as the first in the capital, Chunli is also a little excited, but listening to the meaning of Xie Hong's words, this is the lowest remuneration, so what about the rich? She couldn't help but look forward to it.

"Absolutely." Xie Hong stretched out another finger, "That is, the official has waived all the payment, but does it have to be included in individual stocks, shares...... It's not much, it's okay to achieve it, Miss Yu, what do you think? ”

If she was just a little moved just now, but now Chunli's heart is already hot, if she didn't know that Xie Hong still had the following, she couldn't wait to agree immediately. can become the first green building in the capital, of course, Lichun Courtyard also has a backer, and this backer is still very strong, that is, the predecessor Zuodu Yu Shi Daishan.

Although the imperial historians have their own origins and belong to different forces, but nominally the imperial history of the left capital is still the number one, and the real power is certainly not small. Chunli was originally the top brand in the building, and it was also because of Dai Shan's favor that she changed jobs and became the proprietress of the house.

It's just that the good times didn't last long, in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, that is, last year, Dai Shan died of illness, and the Dai family had no outstanding people except him, so in desperation, he had to help the coffin and return to his hometown, and Lichun Courtyard became a borderless land.

Chunli is a thoughtful person, of course she knows how deep the water in the capital is, and if she doesn't have a backer, she will definitely be swallowed by someone. So, after some contact, she found Yin Huangyu of Shuntian Mansion.

However, the power of Shuntian Mansion Yin is just the same thing, it's okay to ensure that Lichun Courtyard is not taken away, if you want to say goodbye to others, the help provided by Lord Huang is far from enough, so in the past two years, Lichun Courtyard has deteriorated.

The house leak happened to be raining, Huang Yu didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he ran into Zhengde, and the backer of Lichun Courtyard was tragic again. is still the same sentence, in the capital, no one above is definitely not good, so Chunli took action again.

This time it's not as easy as the previous time, those who know the details refuse to take over, two owners, one is dead, one is dismissed, everyone thinks that Lichunyuan is a very unlucky place; Most of the people who don't know the details have low status, and they are even lions with big mouths, obviously all of them are the idea of eating a vote and leaving.

As a result, Chun-Li's search for a new backer stalled.

She came to Zhenbaozhai this time, and she didn't have a temptation in mind, otherwise why did she bring all the girls with her when she came? What Xie Hong said was the best result she expected, of course the reputation of taking refuge in the plague god was not good, but she was a girl, not a scholar, so she didn't have to think about her reputation.

"The adults are still talking, but there is still ......" Chun-Li barely suppressed her joy and asked again.

"What's more, that's ......" Xie Hong suddenly turned his hand behind his back this time, turned around like a whirlwind, his eyes were like torches, stared straight into Chunli's eyes and said, "Are you willing to serve the emperor?" ”

This sentence exploded in Chun-Li's ears like a thunderbolt, making her ears buzz and her mind chaotic. No matter how she guessed in advance, she couldn't have imagined that the last reward Xie Hong said was such a sentence.

Serving the Emperor? Myself? In addition to a few points of appearance, what else do you have? Can you talk about serving the emperor? Chun-Li stood there stunned, speechless. Xie Hong didn't urge, just looked at the other party with a smile.
