Dongfang Yi watched the goods that had been hoarded with great difficulty, and he was blatantly occupied by the imperial power in this way, and he was unwilling.

But thinking about it the other way, I always feel that Zhao Wenlu's fanfare is not his style at all.

Let's not talk about Zhao Wenlu as a royal family, so blatant, it is clear that he is creating a bully, which is a bit too ostentatious.

On the contrary, Nalan Mansion has made it clear that it will not participate in any imperial power struggle. It's a bit dangerous for him to do that.

Exposing one's ambitions to the sun and making a big splash will make enemies for oneself.

Zhao Wenlu is not a big nervous person, so it is impossible not to think of the stakes.

All kinds of questions make Dongfang Yi puzzled.

"Uncle, what should we do next? This workshop is empty, and I am afraid that it will not be able to operate for a while. The workshop guy looked at Dongfang Yi anxiously.

Dongfang Yi walked around, and it was true, these people not only snapped up the house, but also took the opportunity to cause a lot of damage to the workshop.

Of course, this is also Peony's secret instructions, and at first glance I thought it was robbed.

Since the offense and defense can't work, it's not appropriate to keep so many guys here.

"You shouldn't have been home for a long time to visit, I'll ask the shopkeeper to settle the money for you, buy him some good supplements, and call you back when the offense and defense are running."

Dongfang Yi thought about it for a while, and only temporarily dismissing the guy was the wisest choice.

He didn't know what difficulties and obstacles there would be in the future, in case he would be affected by the attack on the workshop, and it would be unbearable for Nalan Mansion to be unbearable.

"This month's monthly silver has been settled, and there is no need to settle it again." Dude reminder.

"Yes, uncle." The rest of the guys chimed in.

"Moon silver is moon silver, you have worked hard in the workshop for so long, these colors should be a reward for you, the workshop is because of your hard work and sweat to get to today, I hope you can make persistent efforts in the future."

Dongfang Yi smiled and comforted everyone, he knew that the guys just didn't want to take advantage of the fire to rob, but he was not the one who treated his subordinates badly.

After a long time of departing from each other, the servants still took the silver and went home.

The news of the takeover of the workshop soon spread to the streets, and the business was severely hit and the depression was wiped out.

Because of Zhao Wenlu's intervention, soon even the children on the street knew that something had happened to Nalan Workshop.

Many people are talking in private, Zhao Wenlu uses his status as a royal nobleman to bully the good, but they only dare to talk about it after tea and dinner in private.

Although Nalan Jin was in a private house in the countryside and had heard about what happened in the workshop, she was unmoved, but seemed much calmer than when she first came.

Dongfang Yi closed the workshop, hung a sign at the door that was temporarily closed, and returned to the house with a frown, and saw Liu Neng walking towards him.

"Uncle, the housekeeper is good during your absence

used his authority to quietly bring people back to the house to produce, which was a jade pendant he bribed me with. ”

Liu Neng followed Dongfang Yi to a quiet place, and the housekeeper explained everything he had done to him in the past few days.

It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight.

Dongfang Yi heard what the housekeeper did, coupled with Zhao Wenlu, it was really all internal and external troubles that broke out in an instant, which made him feel a little stretched.

At this time, he suddenly missed Nalan Jin so much.

I've been worried about it for so long, and I don't care if he swells for a while, the most important thing at the moment is to solve the external troubles.

Although Nalan Mansion is a title personally awarded by the imperial court, it is just a false name. In Zhao Wenlu Mopan Mountain, it is not worth mentioning at all.

The egg is against the stone, and the result is obvious.

So Dongfang Yi was quietly staring at Zhao Wenlu's every move, he wanted to find out what Zhao Wenlu's purpose was in doing this?

On the other hand, he sent someone to count the accounts of the workshop and recorded the losses of the past few days in detail, so that they could be moved to Zhao Wenlu as evidence in the future.

The shopkeeper came out of the storeroom with a dirty face, and his clothes and feet were covered with dust.

After Zhao Wenlu's patronage, the dust in the warehouse had not settled at all, and when the shopkeeper came out of it, he was obviously choked with a dry throat and coughed.

"Uncle, I have made a rough estimate, even the destroyed furniture has lost about 100,000 taels of silver, and the silver purchased by the third prince from us is 80,000 taels, which is just the silver of the goods." The shopkeeper coughed a few times while holding the ledger.

Dongfang Yi thought about it for a while, and the things in the workshop were not too much, but there were no less.

Even he himself can't roughly estimate how much money he has.

However, Zhao Wenlu was able to clearly find out his bottom line, and he marked the price impartially, and he didn't come to take stock in advance.

Dongfang Yi pinched his chin and stayed for a long time, the shopkeeper's curious hand raised his hand and shook it in front of him, but he didn't react.

"Uncle!" The shopkeeper shouted, and Dongfang Yi was startled as if his back was frightened.

"Oh, you write down all these trivial matters in detail, and then send them to the mansion and hand them over to me personally. In addition, there is ......" Dongfang Yi waved his hand, asked the housekeeper to come over with his ear, and muttered in his ear for a long time.

The housekeeper nodded understandingly, and then took a few people from the mansion to count the losses of the workshop, and each of them was clearly marked.

As a businessman, the shopkeeper often walked around Zhao Wenlu's mansion, watching which businessmen he often came into contact with, and then pretending to talk about business to understand the details.

At first, Zhao Wenlu didn't suspect it, but later those businessmen felt more and more strange, and there were a lot of questions from the shopkeeper. The sincerity of his cooperation has never been seen.

This made the businessman, who was already weak-hearted, begin to panic in his heart.

"I said, boss, you've been hanging around with us

How many days, what does it mean? Or are you not satisfied with what we have here? Let me know what you need. The shopkeeper tilted his head to look at the strange shopkeeper.

"Ah no, I'm satisfied, I'll take a look." The shopkeeper was smiling at the poison, but his eyes were still looking around the shop.

The more the store looked, the more he felt that something was wrong with the shopkeeper, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt unsteady, so he let the shopkeeper leave.

"We are here to open the door to do business, since you haven't thought about it yet, then you go back and think slowly, and when you think about it, we will talk about cooperation again, you go around like this, and don't buy anything to affect our business."

The shopkeeper came with his men, bombarding the shopkeeper like a cannon, and drove the shopkeeper out in a few minutes.

"No, I'm going to ......," the shopkeeper stumbled to his feet.

"Stopped, and then there are idle people waiting to come in, and break his legs directly for me." The shopkeeper scolded him severely, and explained that the shopkeeper specifically pointed out that he would not let the shopkeeper step into the store.

The shopkeeper and the shopkeeper were entangled at the door for a long time, and the shopkeeper was worried that his future job would not be guaranteed, and he would not let the shopkeeper step further if he lived or died.

The helpless shopkeeper had no choice but to go back and tell Dongfang Yi the ins and outs of what happened here.

Dongfang Yi felt that this matter was a bit strange, logically speaking, if a businessman could get to the royal family, it would be green smoke on the ancestral tomb.

It's too late to show off, why are you afraid that others will know?

It's getting more and more confusing.

Peony took advantage of her identity as Zhao Wenlu's side concubine, and often pretended to be Zhao Wenlu's identity to meet those businessmen, so she inquired about the news, which was more accurate than Zhao Wenlu.

The people who do business under the imperial city, who don't know that Nalan Mansion is a giant, and Nalan Jin is the leading boss in this business world, it can be said that she is the person of the year here.

Therefore, it is easy for Peony to inquire about Nalan Jin, and everyone can write an autobiography of Nalan Jin with a single sentence.

This made Peony, who already hated Nalan Jin, even more angry, and vowed to kill Nalan Jin, just taking this opportunity to hit her, so that he would never have the possibility of turning over.

"Oh, so she's a man of God at heart?" Peony said in an indifferent tone.

"No, no, the princess laughed, who of us here doesn't know that the princess is a god and can help the third prince to rise to prominence." The store hurried to please a few words.

"Humph! It is said that the mouth of a businessman, a ghost who deceives people, is really not wrong at all, and when you see people talking about people, you see ghosts talking nonsense. But I love to hear you, and before long, I'll make her dead! ”

Peony stared at her fiercely, as if she could feel the cold aura on Lacey's body, which made the people around her shiver.

Back in the mansion, Peony thought of a lot of words and prepared how to persuade Zhao Wenlu to buy the business of Nalan Mansion euphemistically, and he could make him not suspicious without knowing it.

Just in time, Zhao Wenlu's business was booming and returned

The house was very happy, and even if the maid simply said hello, he could reward him with a silver ingot.

"Master, what happened to me, and speaking out will make the concubine happy." Peony took the opportunity to echo Zhao Wenlu and beat him on the back.

"You don't know that today's business is very good, I really listened to you at the beginning, and the purchased goods will soon be fine, and the accounts are a big one, and the king will consider cooperating with Nalan Jin."

Zhao Wenlu took Peony's hand and smiled, listening to his hearty laughter, you can know how happy he is.

"Cooperation, and willing to share half of your heart?" Peony took the opportunity to provoke.

"I don't want to, but I have to." Zhao Wenlu was a little distressed.

"If we do it ourselves, no matter how much we earn, it's all ours alone, Nalan Mansion has such a lot of money and such a prestige in the business world, if we can buy the workshop, it will be a great benefit to us." Peony took the opportunity to blow the wind in Zhao Wenlu's ears.

Peony showed Zhao Wenlu the accounts of Nalan Mansion in recent years prepared in advance, and he found that this was indeed the case.

This made Zhao Wenlu's ambition swell again, and he was ready to move.
