142 Collusion between Officials and Businessmen (Part I) [Seeking the First Order]
The sky was dark, and night had just fallen, and with a sound of "huh-", a luxury carriage slowly stopped at the back door of the Yangzhou Mansion.
"Shopkeeper Liu, please come here, Master Sima is already waiting for you inside." Menshi, who got the order early in the morning, welcomed Liu Yuan in like a guest.
When he came, Liu Yuan did not enter through the front door in a dignified manner, but sneaked in from behind a little secretly, like a mouse crossing the street, which made Liu Yuan himself a little depressed.
However, when he thought of the benefits he had gained from it, Liu Yuan felt proud again: not everyone can enter the back door of this state government.
"It's good, there is a labor official and a big brother." Liu Yuan said as if no one else had stuffed a piece of broken silver weighing about two taels into the doorman's hand.
As the saying goes: Hades is better, little ghosts are difficult, a seemingly inconspicuous little doorman, at a critical time, maybe it can come in handy, anyway, tonight is to make a fortune, Liu Yuan is also generous, as soon as he makes a move, he will break two taels of silver, and buy a favor.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, shopkeeper, watch the road carefully." The doorman who was well versed in this road quickly put the silver into his waist, lowered his head, bent over, and guided Liu Yuan with a lantern very carefully, for fear that Liu Yuan would fall.
Money can make a ghost grind, let alone a small doorman.
After passing through the back flower courtyard, he saw Zhao Zhutou standing in the corridor with a waist knife, Liu Yuan hurriedly walked up and said with a smile: "Zhao Zhutou, you are also there." ”
"Go down, and keep the door." Zhao Zhutou waved his hand to let the doorman retreat, and then patted Liu Yuan's shoulder enthusiastically and said, "Brother Liu, you are finally here, come with me, Lord Thorn Shi and Master Sima are waiting for you." ”
Sure enough, it is not profitable not to catch up early. Liu Yuantian came as soon as it was dark, but he didn't expect a few adults to be waiting there.
"It's really a sin to have Lao Zhao catch his head to lead the way, and Liu has to stab Lord Shi and Master Sima to wait." Liu Yuan's heart sank, and he hurriedly said.
"Don't worry, the time is just right, you just come with me."
So, Zhao Zhutou led the way in front, and Liu Yuan followed cautiously behind, not knowing if he was ready to trade and sell. There are not many subordinates and slaves inside, it seems that these things are indeed the less people know about the Tao, the better, no wonder Zhao Zhutou hinted that he only came at night.
"Brother Liu, it's your first time cooperating with the government, right?" As he walked, Zhao Zhutou suddenly whispered.
"Exactly" Liu Yuan hurriedly said, "I don't know what to pay attention to." Please also ask Brother Zhao to give me some advice, and there will be a filial piety afterwards. ”
Zhao Zhutou nodded secretly. I thought that Liu Yuan was really good on the road. So, as he walked, he lowered his voice and said, "Be clever for a while, follow the words of Lord Thorn Shi, and those things that were confiscated." You can't give seven or eight achievements at the market price, it's not bad, Lord Thorn Shi designated you to collect it, in fact, it is for you to get this benefit. ”
These are indeed good words. Liu Yuan nodded again and again when he heard this.
He heard what Zhao Zhutou meant: no matter how much money there is, it is also the emperor's, and only when it falls into his pocket can it be called affordable.
"Congratulations to Brother Zhao, if you have an appearance tonight, you must be the confidant of Lord Shi, Brother Zhao is deeply valued by Lord Shi, and his future is limitless." After Liu Yuan finished speaking, he specially lowered his voice and said, "Brother Zhao can also reap a lot of benefits this time, right?" ”
Hearing Liu Yuan say that he was Cui Tingshi's confidant, Zhao Zhutou was inevitably proud for a while, but when it came to saying it well, he said a little depressedly: "What's the matter, it's all officials and old men who eat meat, and we little pawns just drink soup, Brother Liu, I see that you are not an outsider, and I won't hide it from you, this time it was sold, Lord Assassin Shi is still fair, only take sixty percent, Sima takes two percent, the main book, me, and the brothers who participated in the copying of the house, can only divide two percent of it, and there are more monks and less porridge." ”
Sixty percent? Twenty percent?
It seems that what to do, it is better to be a leader, there are benefits, one person takes sixty percent, and his subordinates also say that he is merciful.
The two of them walked forward while talking, and soon came to a brightly lit room, Zhao Zhutou asked Liu Yuan to wait outside the door first, he went in first to report, and soon, Liu Yuan was also invited in.
"The villain is see Lord Thorn Shi and Master Sima." As soon as Liu Yuan pushed open the door, he saw Cui Tingshi and Zhao Sima playing Go, and there were trays and wooden boxes in the wings, all covered with red cloths.
Cui Tingshi was holding a white chess piece in his hand, and he seemed to be thinking about how to play, and when he saw Liu Yuan coming, he just nodded his head slightly, and then continued to think about how to play next, while Zhao Sima smiled at Liu Yuan very amiably, and said with great appreciation: "Shopkeeper Liu is anxious about the urgency of the government, and he also took the initiative to come to the yamen to help solve these miscellaneous matters at night. ”
It is clear that they asked themselves to eat the confiscated gold and silver jewelry, and they are ready to collude with officials and businessmen, and cut tofu with a knife on both sides, both of which are beneficial, and now he said that it seems to explain that the things that have not been copied are all things that are difficult to deal with, Liu Yuan came this time, or with a heart to relieve the worries of the government.
That's right, it's too level.
Liu Yuan hurriedly said: "It is a blessing for the villain to be able to do things for all the adults." ”
Zhao Sima pointed to the little official holding a pen and paper on the side and said, "This is the Wang Shushu who is responsible for registering and entering the warehouse, you can read it slowly." ”
"Yes, Lord Sima."
After Zhao Sima finished speaking, he ignored Liu Yuan, because the white son in Cui Tingshi's hand had already been lowered, and it was his turn to hold the black man.
This is the realm, now that a large amount of transactions are being made, the two adults still have the heart to play chess, Liu Yuan has to admire these two people, and he has been thinking about it early in the morning, how can he get the benefits, how many benefits can he get
"Shopkeeper Liu, please, the things that were confiscated this time are all in this room." Wang Shushu gently pulled it with his hand and removed the red cloth from a tray.
As soon as the red scarf was removed, a plate of golden hairpins was revealed, and under the light of the candlelight, the golden light was shining and the room was full of brilliance.
Liu Yuan picked up one of them and prepared to take a closer look, as soon as he picked it up, it was heavy, as soon as he got it, he immediately knew that it was genuine, and played with it gently under the light.
Yes, this is the real thing that Yumanlou confiscated, from the hands of the old craftsman, placed on Jinshui Street, and it is also a first-class product, but unfortunately, such a good jewelry has not been sold, and it was confiscated by the government.
In a few days, according to what they originally said, they have to carry out another preferential promotion, and they are worried that the jewelry is not sufficiently prepared, because the Jinyu family is the only one by themselves, and there have been a lot of things recently.
In fact, the quality of the things made by Yumanlou is still very good, and there is no real effort, how can it be so easy to sit in the top spot of Yangzhou gold store.
Putting down the hairpin, Liu Yuan began to uncover the red cloth one by one.
This tray is filled with bracelets.,Hey.,I've never seen this one.,It's probably going to be a new launch.,Not bad.。
This plate is a necklace, and the material is full, but the style is a little old, and it may need to be thrown away with a little more folding.
While Liu Bian was reading, he was secretly thinking in his heart, and the Wang Shushu on the side was always following Liu Yuan, ready to discuss at any time.
Unconsciously, he walked to the desk near the window, there were two trays on it, Liu Yuan stretched out his hands, one left and one right, and opened the two pieces of red at once, this time as soon as the red cloth was opened, Liu Yuan suddenly had a feeling that the good things were here.
The plate on the left is a precious material, including cat's eye, jade, jade, agate, pearl and other things, and on the right is a piece of jewelry packed in exquisite mahogany boxes, piled up like a hill.
Liu Yuanzhi said, there used to be a VIP room in Yumanlou, which was full of some fine jewelry, all of which were from the hands of skilled old craftsmen, with high-quality materials, fine workmanship, and novel styles, and now it seems that they are all here, but, roughly estimated, there should be more than this number, needless to say, it must be Cui Tingshi They have already picked it again, and picked off the good ones, although they may not necessarily go into their own pockets, they may also be used to deal with the boss or something.
That yamen didn't have a small treasury or anything.
Liu Yuan opened a box at random, it was a very good handmade gold Ruyi, made of gold, inlaid with jade, cat's eye, not to mention the value is also above a hundred taels, Liu Yuan played with it, was about to put it back, suddenly stopped, took the gold jade in his hand and took a closer look, and was suddenly dumbfounded: according to its design, it should be inlaid with seven beautiful gems on the handle of Ruyi, but now there are only six left, and there are knife marks in the inlay, it seems that someone used a knife to pry away the largest and most beautiful gem.
Nima, is that okay?
followed Wang Shushu and coughed dryly, and said with a nonchalant face: "Well, this is estimated to be done yet, Shopkeeper Liu, let's take a look at something else." ”
Not done yet? Liu Yuan flipped Jin Ruyi over, the mark of the jade building on it was clearly visible, according to the rules of making jewelry, only if it is done well, it is correct, and the jewelry that can be sold directly will be marked with its own exclusive mark, and now the main book is open and talking nonsense, Liu Yuan just smiled and still put it in place.
Don't be afraid that you have problems, the more problems, the easier the price will be.
Liu Yuan began to look at those precious materials again, it looked like a lot, but after a closer look, he was a little disappointed, either the quality was not good enough, or the size was not big enough, there were no defective products, but there were no particularly good materials, it was decent.
Obviously, this thing has been filtered through, looking at Cui Tingshi and Zhao Sima's calm appearance, needless to say, nine times out of ten it has gone into the pockets of the two.
"Well, there's a lot of stuff, but it's a pity that it's not big enough." Liu Yuan said to himself while looking at it.
The king heard this, but said nothing. (To be continued.) )
