Huang Xue is recuperating with peace of mind, but in Chaoge City, thousands of miles away, Hu Jiaomei is not at ease at all.

These days, she can be said to have broken her heart, and if she wants to say the reason, she has to start from a month ago.

Since receiving the task of stealing Yuwang Jiuding from the clan, Hu Jiaomei has been under great pressure.

Later, under her plan and Hu Ximei's execution, the two completed two important preparations to contact Bei Bohou and fake the tripod, and finally reached the critical step of stealing the tripod, which must not be missed.

For this step, whether it is her and Hu Ximei, or the entire Qingqiu family, they have already paid too much.

Hu Ximei has complained more than once that Beibohou Chonghou Hu is not only rude and rude, but also very unhygienic, almost exceeding the limit of Hu Ximei's patience. But she was still struggling to persevere, just for the task of the clan.

To make nine fake tripods, these money are all the savings of the clan for many years.

A tripod weighs a thousand catties, which are made of pure copper, nine tripods down, plus the loss of production, has used more than 10,000 catties of pure copper, the cost of the material alone, has exceeded five million dollars.

These alone are far from enough, as well as the cost of production, because the people invited by the clan are all refining masters in the demon clan, these masters have strange tempers, and they are not easy to mess with, and the labor cost of Jiukouding is also enough to have three million dollars. Moreover, these money must be paid in advance, and the masters do not accept arrears.

The entire eight million dollars have emptied most of the family's savings.

In these years, it is not easy for monsters, and no one's money is blown by the wind, the Qingqiu clan relies on reselling the antiques in the Xuanyuan tomb, which can be regarded as a surplus among the demon clan, if it is an ordinary demon clan, with such a large amount of expenses, it basically has to rely on debt to survive.

It is said in the world that how much money the monster wants, as long as it is conjured. But they didn't want to think about it, if the money was so easy, it would have been flooded a long time ago, and it would have been worthless for a long time, and even if there were spells that could conjure money, it was not something that their Qingqiu clan could learn.

As for the use of blind eyes to deceive, please, the money transactions of more than 100,000 yuan are supervised by the government, so much money, it takes half a day to count it at a time, not to mention that it has to be counted ten or eight times, whose tricks can last so long? Once it is leaked, the government will not be merciful, and it is a capital crime to manufacture and use counterfeit money.

The sacrifice in the clan is so great, it is said that even the meat of several elders has been reduced by half, if Hu Jiaomei and Hu Ximei can't steal Jiuding, then they can only atone for their sins with death.

As for how to let Bei Bohou enter the palace to steal the ding, Hu Jiaomei has already come up with a good way, three words: do engineering.

The palace of the Great Shang King, ordinary people must not be able to enter, but when there is a major project in the palace, then carpentry, masonry, stucco, and force workers have to be put into the palace, and a large number of building materials in and out, you can also take the opportunity to transport the larger Jiuding in and out.

Due to the long construction cycle of this era, the guards at the palace gate are slowly tired, and they will turn a blind eye to the engineering team, and the inspection will not be so strict.

Now that she had a direction, Hu Jiaomei began to choose the location of the project.

In the palace, the forces are intertwined, and there are only two places that Hu Jiaomei can manage at present, one is the Xinqing Palace where she lives, and the other is the Liuyun Palace where Huang Xue established the wine pond meat forest.

Xinqing Palace is famous in the palace, there is no problem with the quality, there is basically no project to do, this can be abandoned. When the Jiuchi Meat Forest was established in a hurry, the funds were insufficient, and the facilities were poor, but it could be rebuilt.

So, after two days of preparation, Hu Jiaomei found the king of Shang and proposed to him to rebuild the wine pond meat forest.

The king of Shang was overjoyed when he heard this, and said that his concubine was reasonable, and immediately agreed.

It turned out that in the past few years, although the Jiuchi Meat Forest has produced a lot of money and provided a lot of funds for the imperial court, such a large food processing factory, with a big smell, and placed in the palace, has long made the concubines complain.

Many concubines and attendants proposed to the king of Shang many times, but the king of Shang was afraid of Su Daji's face, so he suppressed these complaints, but he also became a lot of anger because of this. Now, Hu Jiaomei herself proposed to rebuild the Jiuchi Meat Forest, how could he not be overjoyed?

The king of Shang immediately said that the Jiuchi Meat Forest must be rebuilt, and the imperial court could spend more money to choose a vacant land outside the Chaoge City, and then build a bigger and better Jiuchi Meat Forest.

Hu Jiaomei was stunned at that time, the project site was outside the palace, so what was she busy with? At that time, she was a little reluctant in her heart, but the king of Shang praised her for a while, and she was held up to the sky, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and admit it.

So, Hu Jiaomei's first attempt failed.

Hu Ximei came to the palace to find her and asked her how the situation was going, Bei Bohou couldn't wait, she was already anxious in her heart, there was a circle of acne on her mouth, but she still had to smile and said that she already had a way, she was operating on the side of the king of Shang, and she just needed to wait patiently for a while.

In fact, there is one thing that Hu Jiaomei has never dared to let others know, which can be said to be her biggest secret, that is, she can't charm King Shang at all, or rather, she can't charm people at all.

The three sisters of the famous Xuanyuan Tomb, one of the inheritors of the Heavenly Demon Array, were so charming that no one believed them, but this is the truth.

Among the three sisters, Hu Yumei's charm skills are the highest, relying on a jade pipa, which can be described as invincible. Hu Ximei is second, relying on a good voice in the demon world, few people can resist her charm technique. But she is the only one who can dance, can't play the piano, and can't sing. The fundamental reason is that she is actually a music idiot, singing with incomplete five notes, and playing the piano can't find a tone idiot.

You can turn off the music and watch a dance to try, the originally beautiful dance has become a funny action, how stupid and stupid is it, the audience can bear not laughing is already commendable, and expect them to indulge in it, to be charmed by you?

Looking for other musicians to come and cooperate? Just kidding, if the ordinary music can be matched with the Heavenly Demon Dance, then this dance can still be regarded as a miracle in the demon world? If the average musician can learn the Heavenly Demon Song, then what else do you need to dance?

The fact is so embarrassing, in the Heavenly Demon Array, Hu Jiaomei is just the icing on the cake. If the power of the Heavenly Demon Array set up by the three sisters is one hundred, the power may drop to eighty without her. But when she left the Heavenly Demon Array, her charm ability was zero.

She also thought about introducing Hu Ximei to the king of Shang, and the two sisters charmed him together, but this matter was too risky, Hu Ximei's identity could not withstand the investigation at all, and once it was revealed, it would be difficult for both of them to leave the palace alive.

For so many years, Hu Jiaomei has been relying on her own brains that surpass the other sisters, forcibly hiding this secret, and maintaining her majesty as the eldest of the three sisters.

Now that the first attempt failed, Hu Jiaomei was not discouraged, and after thinking hard for two days, she finally came up with the smartest plan she had come up with in her life.

Two days later, she again proposed to the king of Shang that she wanted to build a six-zhang high deer platform in the palace.

Six zhang, converted into the current height is nearly sixteen meters, such a height, in the early dynasty of the nine halls of the height is only more than two zhang in the Shang Dynasty, it is considered a super high-rise, whether it can be achieved technically and not to mention, the cost is definitely expensive, the king of Shang will not easily agree, his head shakes like a rattle.

So Hu Jiaomei came up with a reason that the king of Shang couldn't refuse: praying to the sky.

This is a beautified statement, in fact, the real meaning is that my master Lishan Lao Mu told me that as long as the Shang King is willing to build a deer platform in the palace, and then set up a table and banquet on the deer platform, the Shang King is the east, and the Lishan Lao Mu feasts Nuwa Niangniang for him, and the Shang King toasts to make amends, everyone eats and drinks, and then engages in some entertainment activities, as soon as Nuwa Niangniang is happy, she will no longer find trouble with the Shang King.

This condition is not insignificant to the temptation of the Shang King. When he was young and vigorous, he inscribed a poem in Nuwa Temple to insult the saints, and later attracted many monsters to come to find trouble, and also caused a lot of trouble. If some money can be spent to settle this matter, the king of Shang will definitely be willing.

Therefore, the king of Shang consulted with the prime minister Zigan, Yaxiang Jizi and other important ministers the next day, and issued an order to build Lutai.

Hu Jiaomei's second attempt was finally successful.

But before she and Hu Ximei were happy for two days, things went into trouble again.

The palace built Lutai, or the court paid for it, in today's words, this is not only a court project, but also an image project. For such a big project, the profit is bound to be not low, and it can also fight for a good reputation, and the fierceness of the competition is beyond the imagination of the two.

It is inevitable that the person in charge of the project is the Yaxiang Miko, who manages the finances, and the way to select the Miko is to announce it to the world, which is translated into the current words, that is, public bidding.

This is more troublesome, in that era when information is not developed, to fight for a project, it must be the most advantageous for the locals, but unfortunately, Beibohou Chonghou Hu is not a Chaoge person, but a Chongcheng person, is an authentic outsider. This is really a bit unfavorable for the project of fighting for Lutai.

What is even more disadvantageous is the reputation of Chonghou Hu.

Typical poor technique, big temper, what to do, what to eat, what to eat is not left, greedy for enjoyment is his signature, embezzlement of public funds is his habit, and he has not even repaired a toilet. Such a person wants to compete for such a major project as Lutai, unless the head of the king of Shang and Jizi is kicked by a donkey.

Moreover, Chonghou Hu's most powerful competitor is an old acquaintance, and the doctor Fei Zhong is also. Compared with Chonghou Hu, in fact, Fei Zhong's reputation is not much better, but he has two advantages that Chonghou Hu can't match.

First of all, he is a Chaoge person, and secondly, he started as a project, and he did many major projects in Chaoge City.

As a result, after a bloody commercial competition with bayonets, Fei Zhong almost compared Chonghou Hu to the point of being incomplete, and he was infinitely close to obtaining the holy decree. And Hu Jiaomei, who is operating behind the scenes, does not dare to speak easily because of the suspicion of suspicion, so she can only be in a hurry.

Seeing that the multi-day plan was about to fall short because of this, in the end, after Hu Jiaomei and Hu Ximei discussed, they offered a killer feature in commercial competition: smashing prices.
