405 The wool comes out of the pig, and the royal spy pork lives

As mentioned last time, Liang Shicheng reported the result of pimping to the emperor, and the flowers could not be broken as soon as possible, but he was afraid that he had been touched by Liang Wenzhen, which made the emperor depressed. Because of the two bewitching and beautiful Khitan princesses, living in Liang Mansion, worried that they and Liang Wenzhen would be in love for a long time, Emperor Daojun remembered that Master Li was confused by him in the past, regardless of life and death, and he was the honor of the Ninety-Five, and his face was lost. Su Taiwei recommended to the emperor, and Song Jiang was reappointed as the vanguard, and went to Hebei to conquer the thief Kou Tianhu, the emperor allowed to play, and Song Jiang led the order to go on the expedition. In order to curry favor with the prince, the wealthy family often invited Liang Wenzhen to Fengle Lou, the first restaurant in Tokyo, for a banquet, and Liang Wenzhen was thrifty, and invited the musicians and courtesans to teach the music room. The poet compares the singing and dancing of Liang Yuan to the luxury of Feng Le Lou. The emperor and Liang Shicheng discussed, Liang Wenzhen may not be loyal, and even he broke the Liao and repeatedly performed miraculous feats, all in order to practice his skills and accumulate experience in rebellion, therefore, the monarch and the minister set up Li Yu's old plan and sent a painter to sneak into Liang's mansion to drink and feast, depicting his arrogant and entertaining state, which can be seen whether he is anti-hearted. At the same time, by the way, you can learn whether he has an affair with the Khitan princess, killing two birds with one stone. The jade convoy returning from Myanmar is about to arrive in Tokyo, and a group of people in Liang Mansion are obsessed with money, and they don't know that a big disaster is coming.

"Mr. Liang, this batch of jadeite is better than the previous ones!" Jiang Zhao was dusty, and he didn't have time to go home to wash, so he reported to Liang Wenzhen first. "Oh, really?!" When Liang Wenzhen heard this, he was both surprised and happy. "Although it is much more difficult to mine the new pit, the color of the water is excellent, and in my opinion, the value of this batch is more than twice that of the previous batch." Xu Jindao. "Daddy, I want it too!" His son Xu Lin shouted. "You also know how to identify jadeite? Every day I play with it, I find it elusive. Xu Liang looked at Xu Jindao. Jadeite identification, pay attention to eyesight, vision, nature, but also a little bit of artistic taste. Dong Shen said. What Brother Dong meant, whether the jade is good or not, has to be decided by a great painter like them. Cai Yan said with a smile. Brother Niu, you supervise the handling, and I will go to the warehouse to check. "Liang Wenzhen said." We also go to the storeroom. Xu Miaoyin, Li Shishi, Hu Sanniang and others all looked happy.

In the warehouse, porters came in and out, and two nurses guarded the door. Liang Wenzhen came to the newly stacked jade rough and squatted down to take a closer look. Judging from some bumps, the skin has a little peeling off, the light transmittance is indeed not bad, especially the color is emerald green, verdant, and it is close to emerald, it seems that Jiang Zhao Xu Jin is not bad. Yang Xun led the workers and craftsmen to organize mining in Myanmar, and also went out to prospect for new stone sources. In Liang Wenzhen's impression, after a thousand years, there are twelve famous pits that produce jadeite, and if it is not necessary at this time, the new pit mouth should not be developed too much.

"Brother Jiang, it is enough to have this batch in Tokyo, and it can be transported to Guangzhou in the future. The next time I go, I will repair a book and explain to Brother Tang that he will carve and process in Guangzhou, and the middle and lower grades can be sold in Guangzhou. "Liang Wenzhen said." Liang Lang, there are a lot of high-grade jadeite left, can we use it? Xu Miaoyin asked. Strange goods can live, and it is good to leave them to children and grandchildren. "Jiang Zhaodao." Jadeite jewelry, in addition to the quality of the stone should be good, the carving is also very important. If Liang Lang wants to set up a workshop in Guangzhou, it is best to send a few craftsmen with him. "Master Li said." This is natural, but you don't know that the local jade craftsmen in Guangzhou have very good carving skills and have their own style. "Liang Wenzhen said." Lingnan town, worthy of its name! Cai Yan said.

"I'm thinking about holding another jade auction, but the effect is not satisfactory, what can you do to promote jade jade?" Liang Wenzhen asked. "Mr. Liang, if you don't hold an auction, it's better to hold an exhibition, which is conveniently located in Mr. Liang's mansion, and invites wealthy families from Tokyo all over the world, called a banquet party, piggybacking on and selling high-quality jadeite, and the effect will be significant." Huo Chaodao. "Brother Huo's idea is worth considering, Daddy, Brother Pan, do you think it's feasible?" Liang Wenzhen asked. "The wool comes out of the sheep, and I don't feel sorry for the wine money." Xu Liang said with a smile. "Mr. Xu's business has been very successful, and it is good to hold an exhibition." Pan Tian said. Xu Liang has been in business for a long time, and he has already been shrewd. "Daddy, the family is full of people, noisy, and the home is not like home." Xu Miaoyin pouted and complained.

"When doing business, you should be careful about your calculations, and the wool comes out of the sheep, but you may not know that there is a higher realm." Liang Wenzhen said. "Mr. Liang's whimsical ideas are countless, let's listen to them." Pan Tian said. "It's the wool that comes out of the pigs." Liang Wenzhen said. "Oh, there is such a wonderful thing, Mr. Liang will give an example to explain." Dong Shendao. When everyone heard this, they were all interested, but Pan Tian was thoughtful and couldn't understand. "Examples, but you have to find an appropriate one, otherwise it is really difficult to understand. For example, if we hold a garden viewing party, the ticket is free, and free food and drink are also provided, and the people naturally flock to us, and we set up a good location to attract merchants to sell and collect booth fees. The silver taels spent were not earned back from the people, but from the merchants' large booth fees, which was the wool from the pigs. Liang Wenzhen said.

"Hahahaha, I see!" Pan Tian laughed. "There is no fixed way to do business, and there is learning everywhere in ordinary life." Xu Liangdao. "The exhibition we are holding this time is not called an exhibition, but a jadeite appraisal meeting, the specifications can be higher, and idle people are not allowed to come in, and they must show the invitation letter we sent. In addition, it should be the invitation of the whole government, and the lady and the others know the quality of jadeite, which is the most important. "Liang Wenzhen said." Since it is an appraisal meeting, there should be a well-known expert to conduct a free and fair appraisal. Pan Tian said. This will be done by our great painter Dong and Huo Brothers. "Liang Wenzhen said." Okay, I'll make a schedule, and make sure the appraisal meeting is lively and fun! Cai Yan said.

"I propose that the name of the appraisal committee be more nice." Huo Chaodao. "It's called the starlight shining jade night, the golden years appraisal meeting, I don't know if it's okay?" Master Li smiled slightly. "Okay, the teacher doesn't be a marketing planner, it's a waste of the end." Liang Wenzhen praised. That night, after dinner, everyone deliberated for a long time in the side hall, and set an agenda for three days later, and all kinds of matters were assigned to each of them. When Pan Tian and Dong Shen Huo Chao came out of the Liang Mansion, it was already the moon on the willow tops, and the three of them got into the carriage and went home separately.

said that Huo Chao returned home, and his subordinates informed him that a friend had come to visit. Huo Chao wondered, who would come to look for him at night, and when he saw him, he knew that it was Cao Yu, who applied for the Hanlin Academy of Painting and Calligraphy together. "Brother Cao, how do you think of your little brother today, and you are here in the Humble House?" Huo Chao asked. "Brother Huo, I have been waiting for you for a long time, when we were on a scientific expedition together, who expected that the road was different, we were in Tokyo, but we had never seen each other, ashamed, ashamed!" Cao Yu said. "Tokyo is a big city, and everyone is running for the future, so it's not easy to meet each other, but it's a helpless thing. Since we have come today, you and I will not be drunk and have no home. Huo Chao said that he ordered his subordinates to clean up a table of wine and food.

"I heard that Brother Huo is in Liang Wenzhen, the richest man in the Great Song Dynasty, and he is very prosperous, and Cao is very envious." Cao Yu said. "It's just three meals a day, how can it be compared to Brother Cao walking around in front of the emperor, coming to the scenery and glorifying the ancestors." Huo Chaodao. "Brother Huo wants to make fun of Cao, I have a little money every month, and I haven't starved to death, which is an amazing miracle. How can it compare to Brother Huo who is so glamorous now, he is already a rich man. Cao Yu said. You who eat the emperor's food, say such things, and it doesn't make people laugh. We peddlers and pawns, villains and businessmen, how can we be as good as your scholars? Huo Chao said. Why did this guy come today, didn't he come to show off? Why do you still envy yourself? Huo Chaoyue was puzzled and said secretly.

"Hey, what's the use of just having face and no lining, being an official in the court, if you say it well, you are a minister of the society, and if you don't say it well, you are the lackey of the official family. Chang'an rice is expensive, and it is not easy to live in a big place. The price of rice in Tokyo is not unknown, I have 4,000 Wen Yue, just eating pork, where is as rich as my brother! Cao Yu watched the next person bring a plate of beef and mutton to the table, and said with emotion. Brother Cao doesn't have to be polite, come and come, have a drink. Huo Chao raised his glass and said. The salaries of the Chinese military officials of the DPRK are well known to ordinary people, and if there is no other income, the standard of living is naturally not high. Four thousand Wen Yue, for a few families, it is difficult to support a family, you must be careful and eat pork. All because of the cheapest pork in the Song Dynasty, beef and mutton were expensive, such as Cao Yu, as a student of the painting academy, was only a five-grade official, and had no gray income, and his life was not much better than that of ordinary people. At that time, Su Dongpo was demoted to Huangzhou, with a comparable salary, eating pork every day, and he was annoyed, so he invented Dongpo meat to improve the taste.

"Brother Huo is a blessing in disguise, he suffered a lawsuit back then, but fortunately he can follow Mrs. Liang now, eat and drink spicy, and is very free. Yes, there is also Brother Dong Shen who resigned and followed Mrs. Liang. Cao Yu said again. The past is unbearable. Brother Cao, according to the younger brother, you are more suitable for officialdom, could it be that you really intend to learn from Brother Dong and resign? Huo Chaodao. No, no, no. I think about it carefully, the future will be His Royal Highness the Prince, Mrs. Liang and the Prince are close, I, I hope to get to know Mrs. Liang. Cao Yudeng blushed and said.

"Oh, it turns out that Brother Cao is far-sighted and thinks about the future. This is easy, and when you get the opportunity, the younger brother introduces you to the acquaintance of Taifu. Huo Chaodao. This, this is not good for purpose. I heard that Liang Mansion often sings and dances, and has a happy night banquet, if Brother Huo is with him, take me in to see it. One is to get to know Tokyo celebrities, and the other is to have the opportunity to let Mrs. Leung know me. Brother Huo, is this good? Cao Yu said. Brother Cao can be regarded as a talented person, and the younger brother is far inferior, Mrs. Liang is a person who loves talents, and he must appreciate Brother Cao. Three days later, Lieutenant General Liang Fu will hold a jade appraisal meeting, then, oh yes, this appraisal meeting must have an invitation letter to go to the meeting, this. Huo Chao hesitated.

"What's the problem? Can't send me an invitation? Cao Yu asked suspiciously. The participants of the jade appraisal meeting are all rich and wealthy, like Brother Cao, but they are not in the scope of the invitation, and the person in charge of sending the letter will not distribute it at will. Yes, the younger brother knows the owner of Qian Ji Rice Shop, and when the younger brother informs him, Brother Cao can go in together in the name of his cousin. Huo Chaodao. Great, Brother Huo really did Cao a big favor! Cao Yu said excitedly.

"A little thing, you're welcome, come, have a drink." Huo Chao raised his glass and said. "Okay, Cao Mou respects Brother Huo for a cup!" Cao Yu said loudly, with a very excited look on his face. Huo Chao raised his head and drank it all, and he couldn't help but doubt in his heart: This Cao Yu has always been arrogant, and today's visit is for this? Besides, why should I be so overjoyed to be able to go to the jadeite appraisal meeting.

Huo Chao was an extremely delicate person, and since he was suspicious, he deliberately observed Cao Yu's expression. During the chat, the two drank three or five cups, and Huo Chao was sure that Cao Yu was attentive, and he became more and more strange. "Brother Cao, Ming people don't say secret words, you have to make it clear to your younger brother that you want to go to the Liang Mansion to attend the meeting, what is your intention?" Huo Chao asked. "Brother Huo, how can you not believe Cao, haven't you already said it clearly?" When Cao Yu heard this, he was shocked and replied.

"The younger brother is not a foolish person, if Brother Cao wants to go to the Liang Mansion, it must not be as simple as getting to know Mrs. Liang. If the younger brother is a friend, Brother Cao should say it clearly! Huo Chaodao. Brother Huo must be drunk, believe me, I just want to get to know Mrs. Liang, and I have no other intentions. Brother Huo was drunk, and he had to rest earlier, so Cao said goodbye. Cao Yu got up and clenched his fists. Slow, the little brother is not drunk, Brother Cao doesn't have to fool me. Huo Chao stepped forward quickly and stopped Cao Yudao.

"Brother Huo, why bother Cao?!" Cao Yu was shocked, thinking that Huo Chao was going to be rough, and his face changed greatly. "Brother Cao, the little brother knows that you are strapped for money, so how about the little brother buy information from Brother Cao? This jade ornament is a first-class product, worth thousands of taels of silver, Brother Cao take it! Huo Chao took a piece of jade from the wooden cabinet and handed it to Cao Yudao. This, how does this make. Seeing this, Cao Yu's heart was slightly settled, and he excused himself, but continued.

"Let's drink and say, come, Brother Cao is polite." Huo Chao greeted. Cao Yu re-seated, and between drinking, he informed Huo Chao of the task ordered by Emperor Daojun, 1510. "Brother Cao, the one who knows the times is Junjie, your information is very important to the junior brother, and the junior brother will also arrange for you to enter the Liang Mansion, and will not leak the fact that you betrayed the official family tonight." Huo Chaodao. "Cao believes in Brother Huo's character, otherwise he would have killed me, and he wouldn't dare to say half a word of nonsense." Cao Yu said.

After sending Cao Yu away, Huo Chao tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep. Early the next morning, Huo Chao informed Liang Wenzhen of all the information he had learned. Liang Wenzhen was taken aback when he heard this, it turned out that no matter what he did, he would be suspected by the emperor, which showed that the current situation was very sinister. After pondering for a long time, Liang Wenzhen had already made up his mind. "The meaning of the official family is to learn Li Yu's story, so we will plan it, pretend to be promiscuous, indulge in lust, and make a play for him, and we must make him die and no longer fight the idea of the two princesses of Tianxiu and Tianrong." Liang Wenzhen said. "Mr. Liang is the same as I have seen, so last night I agreed to Cao Yu and will help him enter the mansion at the appraisal meeting the day after tomorrow." Huo Chaodao.

"It seems that on weekdays, I also have to guard against royal agents and infiltrate my Liang Mansion." Liang Wenzhen said. Immediately, Liang Wenzhen convened Xu Liang, Jiang Zhao, Xu Jin, Niu Ren, Xu Fan, Zhao Min, Pan Tian and others to hold a meeting to discuss security matters and formulate a detailed system. He also convened Ding Yahuan, a nurse in the hospital, to preach the entry and exit inventory system, and put the system in place.

The starry jade night, the golden years appraisal meeting was held as scheduled three days later, the guests gathered, the silk bamboo sang and danced, how Liang Wenzhen and his gang were lustful and deceived the Daojun Emperor. Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
