"Did he really say that?" Guo Nu listened to Lao Da's return and asked in some surprise.

"Yes, it seems that Lord Xiao Meng did have some misunderstanding of the master!" Lao Da sighed leisurely, "Cao Bao's people are indeed too much, this is the silver of the court's mercy, and they dare to be greedy?" ”

"Is Cao Bao supervising the repair of Wang Zhen's family temple?"

"Yes, it costs a lot of money, and the material alone is ......," Lao Daru said.

"How many accounts have been taken from Jinyiwei's side, you can tell me an approximate number." Guo frowned.

"It should be no less than fifty thousand taels of silver."

"Such a large sum of money, was Cao Bao done it alone, or was someone behind it?" Guo was furious.

"This is not clear at the moment, if you want to find out, you must check the account of the back office." Lao Da said.

"Then check the accounts!" Guo said angrily.

"My lord, really check?"

"Of course it's really checked, but if you want to check the accounts of the middle and back office, you must transfer Cao Bao from the middle and back office!" Guo said angrily.

"In what name?"

"As a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, it's not good to hold two positions, so I simply transferred him to the East Factory, what do you think?"

"This is a solution, who will go to the middle and back office?"

"Zhu Ji, what do you think?"

"Zhu Ji is upright and does not show favoritism, but he is a suitable candidate." Guo Nu nodded.

"There's got to be a reason for this, sir?"

"This is easy to do, Cao Bao is always absent from work for no reason during his duty, as long as he is caught once, the official will have a reason to transfer him out of the Central Rear Institute." Guo said angrily.

"That's a reason!"

"Skywalk. This is the brocade Weilux waist card, take it, lose it and don't make up for it. Meng Yan threw Lin Tianxing a waist card and said.

"Master Xie!" Lin Tianxing took the waist card and showed a hint of surprise.

"From now on, you will be my official personal attendant, representing me in everything you say and do, do you know how to do things?"

"I know, the prince said the east, and Tianxing will never go west!"

"You're smart, go see your sister!" Meng Yan smiled slightly. Throw Lin Tianxing a piece of silver. "Go buy some rouge gouache, girls like that."

"Thank you, Childe!"

"Son, my intuition tells me that there is something wrong with Lin Tianxing, and he is deliberately approaching you." Fangs looked at Lin Tianxing's distant back and said.

"A master of swordsmanship and a female saint of the acocot forest. Why do you want to enter the Pine Crane Tower? One did the running hall. One helps out in the back kitchen, which in itself is suspicious. Meng Yan nodded.

"Childe left him by his side to summon him, did he want to know his true purpose?" Fangs tract.

"If they weren't here for the light rain. That is for the Jinyi Wei behind the Songhe Tower, whether it is a person or a thing, rather than observing secretly, it is better to put it under the eyes and nose. Meng Yan said, "These two people are not really brothers and sisters, and judging by their words and deeds, they shouldn't have much experience in the rivers and lakes, so I deliberately looked for an opportunity to promote them, and then put them around." ”

"Understood, what does Childe need fangs for?"

"Lin Tianxing's side, you don't have to worry about it, this person thinks he is smart, but it's actually in my eyes, when that Lin Yi is not visible, not dewy, you have to observe carefully, if there is anything abnormal, report it immediately!"

"Understood, Son!"

"By the way, the Liu Gongzi you asked Lin Tianxing to break his legs last time came to trouble Miss Wen, but he really didn't get any bargains."

"Are you looking for the Five Cities Terracotta Division, or Shuntianfu?"

"It's the Houjun Governor's Mansion!"

"Xiaoyu is okay, right?"

"Miss Wen is fine, that Imperial Doctor Wen suddenly appeared and calmed down the conflict, and later, Songhe Tower was also cleaned for several days."

"Wen Liangdong?"

Songhe Tower, Meng Yan didn't come for a few days, and the people from the Houjun Governor's Mansion came to find fault, but Wen Liangdong, who was passing by, came forward to settle it.

Wen Xiaoyu couldn't let out the anger in his heart, and the guys from the Songhe Tower were unlucky.

"Didn't I tell you, don't hang this painting in this room, also, what is that corner, how can there be dust, our Songhe Tower is not an ordinary restaurant, it should be spotless......"

"Wen shopkeeper, such a big fire, the guys will inevitably be a little negligent in doing things, you have taught a lesson, they will remember it next time!"

"Lord Meng is a rare guest, we haven't opened for business yet, so it's a little early?" As soon as Wen Xiaoyu saw Meng Yan, his heart surged up inexplicably.

"What, you're not welcome?"

"Our Songhe Tower is open for business, and there are guests who come to the door, how can we not welcome it?" Smell the light rain road.

"Find a secluded place, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter, can't you talk about it here?" Wen Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and said a little reluctantly.

"If you don't want to hear it, then I'll just go." Meng Yan pulled his legs and was about to go out.

"Don't, come with me!" Wen Xiaoyu saw that Meng Yan was leaving, she hadn't seen her for many days, she had been thinking about it for a long time, and finally waited for someone to come, but she retreated out of the door angrily.

The guys' eyes widened one by one, when did their own shopkeeper flatter a man so bently?

"Look, if you don't go to work, and then let me find out that I didn't do what I said, and my wages will be deducted!"

The guys scattered in a hurry.

"Come in, say whatever you want?"

"What did you think about the last time I talked to you?" Meng Yan asked.

"What's the matter?"

"The matter of the expansion of the operation of the Songhe Tower." Meng Yan frowned.

"There are two that are willing to transfer, but the price is not low, and the limit of silver I can use is five thousand taels of silver!"

"How much money does Songhelou have on its books?"

"I can't sue you for this!" Wen Xiaoyu shook her head, although she was intimate with Meng Yan, there were some things she had to talk about.

"If you are asked to repossess the land and the house, how much gap do you have?"

"There is no shortage of money for land and housing, but if it is demolished and rebuilt, I am afraid there will be a big gap!"

"In this way, you take 5,000 taels of silver to invest in my Meng Ji briquette shop."

"What do you mean by that?"

"You said you could not be the master. I'll explain it to you if I can. Meng Yan said directly.

"I should be able to call the shots." Wen Xiaoyu thought for a moment and nodded.

"I plan to invite some powerful coal merchants in Beijing to hold a coal merchant conference......

"You want to get your briquettes made out in the open?" Wen Xiaoyu was surprised, this was a chicken that could always lay golden eggs, and she really couldn't understand why Meng Yan wanted to give it away.

"Xiaoyu, with the strength of my Meng Ji briquette shop now, can I eat the market of the entire capital?"

"This can't be!"

"Any new thing will inevitably be hit by the vested interests of the old thing, although my Meng Ji briquette line has a Jinyiwei background behind it. But there is no background behind those coal banks. Maybe one or two families don't dare to do anything to me, but eight out of ten, not to mention that the briquette production process is not complicated, or it won't be long. They can even produce it. It's just a little inferior in quality. Why don't I sell them for a good price while I'm still in the hands of the process? ”

"There's some truth to what you're saying, but that's it. Who will buy your briquette stove and honeycomb coal? ”

"The briquette furnace does not make money, it is honeycomb coal that makes money, and the only condition for me to sell them the production process is to formulate a price alliance and monopolize the price of honeycomb coal!" Meng Yan said, "If you join my price alliance, I will sell the production process to you, and if you don't join, I won't sell it for any amount of money!" ”

"How much are you going to sell?"

"One thousand taels for honeycomb coal formula, one hundred taels for one set of production tools, and no training fees are charged." Meng Yan said.

"It's too expensive, will they buy it?"

"My net income now is almost one hundred taels of silver a day, do you think they would buy it if they knew this number?"

"One hundred taels a day, not much."

"For me, it's naturally not much, but for them, if they join in, it won't be a hundred taels a day, how big is the demand of the entire capital, this account, they should be better than me."

"I only need ten people to join the price alliance, each person has a formula, ten sets of production tools, this is 20,000 taels of silver, you use 5,000 taels of silver to invest in my briquette, and I am using 20,000 taels of silver to invest in Songhelou, and the two of us participate in each other's shares, what do you think?" Meng Yan Road.

"It's such a big thing, I can't be the master, I need to ask the above!" Wen Xiaoyu thought carefully for a moment and said.

"Is it my Uncle Guo?"

"Yes, Songhelou is the industry of the Public Opinion Department of Jinyi Weinanya, I am only responsible for operation and management, and I can't call the shots for such major matters as equity participation!" Wen Xiaoyu explained.

"I know, how long will it take?"

"At least three days!"

"Okay, I'll give you three days, and I'll come back in three days!" Meng Yan got up and said.

"You're leaving?" Wen Xiaoyu was surprised, and his eyes naturally showed a trace of reluctance, he finally saw each other, and he was leaving?

"Why, I can't bear it now, wasn't that attitude just now unwilling to see me?" Meng Yan said with a smile.

"You, either don't see you for a few days, or come and leave, do you still have anyone in your heart?" Wen Xiaoyu complained.

"Haha, get a few side dishes, blanch the wine, wait for me, I'll come to you tonight." Meng Yan laughed, "Remember to wash yourself fragrantly!" ”

"Dead, people aren't fragrant one day!" Wen Xiaoyu nodded shyly, obviously she was willing, and what dissatisfaction and resentment had already been thrown to Java.

Jinyi guards in the back office.

"Lord Meng, haven't you been here for a while?"

"What, everyone misses me?"

"That's, I want to hear you tell our brother a few stories, and your story is so good!"

"Yes, but I can't tell you stories without coming back?" Meng Yan smiled, "What about you Lord Cao?" ”

"Master Cao ......"

"What's the matter, how many brothers are still hiding it from me?" Meng Yan smiled.

"No, Lord Meng, you are a good official, but our Lord Cao ......" Meng Yan is approachable, plus young, and has no official standing, and he is familiar with these people in the Zhonghou Institute.

In addition, there are many legends about him in the Jinyi Guard, and some low-level Jinyi Guards worship him very much!

There are a lot of his fans in this middle and back office!

"What are you doing in the yard and not having to do anything?" An uncomfortable-sounding voice came from the doorway. (To be continued......)
