Zhu Daolin secretly breathed a sigh of relief after taking the most important shares of Bofu Qianzhuang, and the share deed in his arms, which signed the names of six people and stamped six handprints, ensured his rights and obligations, and became his most potential and important capital, and also meant that from now on, he could exchange more antique calligraphy and paintings with a larger number of older and more valuable antique calligraphy and paintings from the other four powerful and wealthy shareholders.

As for the other luxury goods transactions such as books, swords, clocks and watches, and crystal products, including the joint establishment of the Jiuyuan Street United Shop by the four shareholders, which is about to open, it is no longer important to Zhu Daolin.

There is another thing, Zhu Daolin has always been at a loss.

So far, he still can't figure out how much strength the Maoshan Shangqing faction belongs to, although from the Ying father and son, Wei Guogong Xu Hongji, Longping Marquis Zhang Gongwei, Nanjing Tongyuan Bureau eunuch Wu Gonggong and the coachman Lao Shi, it can be seen that they respect the three major schools of Taoism, the Maoshan Shangqing faction, the Longhushan Zhengyi faction and the Quanzhen faction, and are quite jealous of the influence of these three schools and the inner strength gathered in Chaotian Palace, but Zhu Daolin himself does not have much personal feeling, and he has no confidence in his heart.

Therefore, Zhu Daolin had to seize every opportunity to quickly strengthen himself and get rid of his current embarrassing vassal status as soon as possible.

Last time he left Ziyangguan and Jinling before the Xia Yuan Festival, Zhu Daolin didn't have the opportunity to see the two veterans sent by the Maoshan Ancestral Courtyard Zhangjiao, and when he came back, he heard from the master that the two respected masters brought the Dharma seal awarded to him by the ancestral court, and brought more than 100 skilled construction craftsmen, and left a message before leaving the next day, telling him to take some time to visit the ancestral court in the coming year.

But Zhu Daolin was not enthusiastic about this, and there were many things that happened recently, and there were many problems that needed to be solved, so he forgot about it.

According to Master Xuanqing, it is appropriate to solemnly award him on the day of the grand opening ceremony of the Ziyang Temple, so Zhu Daolin does not know what the method seal looks like, and he is not interested in asking the master to come and see.

Now the most important interests have been clear, Zhu Daolin has been hiding 5 boxes of a total of 30 40 centimeter-high glass statues of gods and Buddhas, 10 boxes of 40 sets of crystal wine utensils, 20 boxes of 480 mirrors of three specifications, 5 boxes of 50,000 three types of sewing needles, 5 boxes of 500 tailor scissors, 4 boxes of 200 custom-made patterned steel Longquan Tang knives, 10 boxes of 500 antique pocket watches engraved with the seal of Tianshu Pavilion, need to be handed over to Ying Changpei for sale as soon as possible, and it will soon be the best sales season of the year, Zhu Daolin will definitely not miss it.

These goods, worth more than 4.5 million taels of silver, plus the 20,000 sets of comic books that had been handed over to Ying Changpei before, totaled 4.8 million taels of silver, and this figure was the cost price set by Zhu Daolin after giving Ying Changpei a 20% discount, not including the 30% profit from the total profit after the sale.

The profit share of the last batch of goods and the 600,000 taels of silver obtained, together with the 70 tons of copper plates handed over to Ying Changpei, was converted into 40% of Zhu Daolin's shares in Bofu Qianzhuang, and the insufficient part was deducted from the total value of the copper plates shipped in the next batch according to today's agreement, after all, the total capital of Bofu Qianzhuang has been rapidly increased to 12 million taels of silver.

Therefore, Zhu Daolin is not in a hurry about the temporary shortage of share capital, and is anxious to calculate the total amount of goods to be delivered with Ying Changpei as soon as possible, and then withdraw one million taels of silver from the Ying family head office, of which 800,000 will be handed over to the master Xuanqing Daochang, which will be used to pay for the daily consumption of nearly 30,000 people, the construction costs of Ziyang Temple, manor and wharf, and the remaining 200,000 taels Zhu Daolin will be used to buy a batch of high-quality antique calligraphy and paintings, as well as redeem Ruyan Girl and Liu Ru is two lovely children.

Old man Ying saw that Zhu Daolin was a little absent-minded, and his son, Grandpa Guo and the two eldest sons of Marquis Zhang, had been whispering, so he simply proposed to let a few young people play by themselves.

This proposal hit the hands of the four young people, and the two eldest princes still squirmed for a while, and the thick-skinned Ying Changpei and Zhu Daolin left immediately after respectfully saluting, and the two eldest princes also hurriedly chased out.

Looking at the gate where the four young men disappeared, Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, was quite emotional, turned to Zhang Gongwei and asked with a smile: "Dao Linxian's nephew can have a temper with his virtuous brother?" ”

Zhang Gongwei was stunned, looked at Old Man Ying and Gonggong Wu, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and had to truthfully say what she felt in her heart:

"It's not easy to be a nephew! Not to mention the greeting gifts he gave us a few tens of thousands of dollars, not to mention his righteous act of generously giving relief to 30,000 displaced people in the face of difficulties, and all kinds of ruthless methods to avoid potential crises in the face of danger, just the fact that he can kneel down and plead for my boy makes me have to be impressed! ”

Everyone laughed, and Gonggong Wu asked with a smile: "Don't you blame Dao Linxian's nephew for his tricks, and finally cheated Deyi's nephew's cunning methods?" ”

Zhang Gongwei said: "My kid is too reckless, I'm worried that after he knows about the fact that several of our companies have joined forces to open a money village and a joint big shop, he will accidentally shout out and make some jokes, so he hasn't told him, and he doesn't know Dao Linxian's nephew, which is why today's incident happened, so I can't blame Dao Linxian's nephew, if you want to blame my unsuccessful kid." ”

"What if Dao Linxian's nephew already knew that Deyi was the son of your Marquis Longping?" Gonggong Wu asked again.

Zhang Gongwei was stunned again: "Impossible, right?" Dao Linxian's nephew is by no means such a sinister person. ”

Gonggong Wu laughed, leaned back in the chair and stopped talking, Xu Hongji, who had already guessed the truth, smiled again: "Brother Xian, if today's incident is really a trap set by Dao Linxian's nephew, what would you think?" ”

Zhang Gongwei's face changed, and then she fell into a long silence, and when she raised her head again, she actually smiled:

"The younger brother still believes in his own eyes, believes in the character of the Dao Lin Xian nephew, if it is really as the elder brother said, the younger brother will not blame the Dao Lin Xian nephew, but will pay more attention to his ability, and such a bad stomach will never suffer a loss to join forces to make a fortune, what else is there to worry about the little brother?"

"Shine! Ha ha! As expected, it can be seen that the reason why Zhang Xiandi was able to turn the tide in adversity and bring the stormy Longping Marquis Mansion back to today's prosperous situation step by step, even more than the most beautiful 20 years when the old marquis was alive, just this open-mindedness, this tenacity, is far from being comparable to ordinary people! ”

After Gonggong Wu finished speaking, he stroked his palms and laughed, and gave Zhang Gongwei a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart.

Xu Hongji smiled, turned to the old man Ying beside him and asked respectfully: "Father-in-law, your old man here is the oldest and has the most extensive knowledge, and you have never looked at people for a long time, can you tell us what you think of Dao Linxian's nephew?" ”

Old Man Ying was unpretentious, and pointed to Marquis Zhang, who was looking at him with a face full of concern: "To say something offended, if it is replaced by Taizu or Chengzu era, Gong Wei's achievements are probably above you!" Look at Gonggong Wu again, smiling all day long is no different from Maitreya Buddha, but his eyes, as well as the city between his chest and abdomen, are also far above you and me, if you don't accept it, you can't accept it! ”

Gonggong Wu laughed again, and Zhang Gongwei, who was recognized and praised by the old man, also laughed honestly, but Xu Hongji nodded solemnly: "Thank you, father-in-law, for your teachings!" Now I don't have any worries in my heart. ”

Old Man Ying sighed softly: "Don't talk about the Maoshan Shangqing faction with believers all over the south of the Yangtze River, and don't mention the Chaotian Palace that can reach the sky, just carefully ponder what Dao Linxian's nephew has done in the past few months, you can see his true temperament, the purchase of huge amounts of real estate, the relief of tens of thousands of displaced people, the contempt for the four major grain merchants, the construction of workshops and docks, and the decisions of many major events today, which of the vision and courage shown by this young man is not impressive?" ”

"Whether it's spirit, scheming, or intelligence, it's not below a few of us!"

Gonggong Wu and Zhang Gongwei nodded again and again, and the scheming Xu Hongji finally officially stated his attitude: "Since everyone thinks like this, then there is no need to say anything, I will give the greatest support to Dao Linxian's nephew within the scope of my ability, alas!" This kid is good at everything, but his personality is a little arrogant, I heard that last night he stirred up the Qinhuai River, and the earth-shattering applause spread ten miles away, but he also offended a few famous people who couldn't see him, and it is estimated that he will have to get into trouble in the future. ”

"Young man, how can he be as peaceful as the people we have come over, it is forgivable to indulge occasionally, let him go, with his belly full of intrigues, nothing big will happen, it is estimated that whoever provokes him will be unlucky." Grandpa Wu's words sparked a burst of laughter again.

At the same time, on the second floor of Baoyuexuan, a firm of Yingjia that was less than two hundred meters away from Kuixing Tower, Zhang Dezhong and Xu Wenjue stood in front of the first-class calligraphy and paintings, commenting with great interest.

Zhu Daolin and two experienced courtiers surrounded a three-legged bronze tripod, listened to two courtiers over forty years old carefully evaluate this antique that had just been sent from Wuchang in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and finally happily clapped in the regretful eyes of the two courtiers:

"That's it, how to say that it is also the royal thing of the Chu Palace during the Warring States Period, if it is a pair, this statue in front of me will definitely not be able to buy it for two thousand five hundred taels of silver, and I like the ornament cast on it and the beast pattern on the three legs, haha! Please make a wooden box for me and stuff it with hay, and I'll bring it back when I come back. ”

The two courtiers nodded hurriedly, and one of them asked Zhu Daolin again if he waited, maybe it won't be long before the same beast pattern three-legged tripod will appear on Huguang's side, and the value of a pair will soar several times.

Zhu Daolin didn't care if he was worthy of it or not, thinking that as long as it was genuine, it would be a thousandfold profiteering if he took it back, which was enough.

Ying Changpei had already finished settling the accounts, called Zhu Daolin over, and handed him the total amount of purchase estimated by himself: "The purchase price of this batch of goods is calculated according to the whole number of five million, you can't always make you cheap, if you are in a hurry to use the money, I will accompany you to the money next door to take out two million taels of silver tickets later, and I am afraid that it will be a little difficult to do more, after all, the end of the year is coming, and there are a lot of money to withdraw." ”

"One million is enough, and if it is more, there is no place to use it for the time being." Zhu Daolin said with a smile.

Ying Changpei asked with a smile: "When will I go to pull the goods?" ”

"Tomorrow afternoon, I'll have to sleep well in Zizhuyuan later, and I'll go to Ziyangguan tomorrow morning." Zhu Daolin replied.

Ying Changpei's eyes lit up: "So, the goods have been put into storage?" ”

Zhu Daolin glanced at him with contempt, walked to Xu Wenjue and Zhang Dezhong, who were still appraising the two Yuan Dynasty paintings, stared at the two paintings in front of him and joked: "If you two don't think it's optimistic, let's just not give the silver, just take it back and hang it wherever you want." ”

Ying Changpei, who came along, immediately shouted: "Dream about you!" These six Tang and Song calligraphy paintings were brought back from various shops according to your requirements, and the two paintings of Zhao Mengfu, a famous artist in the early Yuan Dynasty, were brought back from a friend's house in Suzhou by begging my grandfather to visit my grandmother, and it cost me 3,000 taels of silver! I haven't counted the cost of the journey with you yet......"
