Since he sat in the post of squire of the Ministry of War, Zhong Wenbin's mother's brocade business has expanded a lot, Zhong Wenbin's mother is a Xinjiang woman, and her mother's family has been prosperous in cotton planting, but since this Li Shu's official position has also come up, he has continued to compete with him.

Zuo Zhuo was like an old fox: "I heard that your mother's business has been getting worse and worse recently?" ”

Zhong Wenbin didn't continue to lead down, but responded indifferently, and it was regarded as a return.

Fei Luhong was afraid that this would not be noticeable to him today: "I heard that Wen Bin's brocade business is big, but I didn't expect it to reach the ears of Lord Zuo." ”

"Lord Fei raised it, it was the prime minister who looked at it, and he just mentioned it."

Zhong Wenbin is a rat and doesn't like publicity, but Fei Luhong can say it.

"Huh! Do not lift. It's really condescending to be a soldier in your family, if you can be higher, I don't know what the world will be! ”

Zhong Wenbin didn't continue, he noticed that Lord Zuo had something to say today, Fei Luhong was not long-sighted, but he Zhong Wenbin was not a fool.

"Heaven and earth?" The sound of a gust of wind came from the gutter-like place where he was sitting.

Zuo Zhuo raised his head, his eyes looked directly at the tea on the table, and then turned to Fei Luhong's face, his beard covered Zuo Zhuo's half mouth, and Xu Chang's sword eyebrows had their momentum before he sat beside him.

"What does Master Fei think is high? Are you still satisfied with the emperor's position? ”

"No, don't dare. The lower official has said more, my lord forgives the sin! ”

Fei Luhong immediately stopped speaking when he heard this, looking at Zuo Zhuo like this, now is not the right time to speak.

Zhong Wenbin saw that the situation was not right, so he responded: "Lord Zuo, I think there must be something important to tell me today, and please make it clear." ”

When Fei Luhong saw Zhong Wenbin's words to relieve the siege, he immediately understood the meaning.

"My lord, the matter of Qingzhou, the next official will solve it immediately, and there will be no future troubles, if there are other instructions, please also make it clear."

Zuo Zhuo straightened up and put down the tea in his hand.

Seeing this, Zhong Wenbin asked all the people in the house to retreat.

Now only these three foxes are left in the house.

Zuo Zhuo: "This is not a little bit of an eye-show in front of the emperor recently!" Wen Bin, this is also a brocade business, why didn't you see the emperor paying so much attention to you? ”

Zhong Wenbin couldn't hear what Master Zuo wanted to express.

Zhong Wenbin: "Your Majesty, you may think that the business in the lower officials' family is not as good as the property in Lord Li's name." ”

Zuo Zhuo sneered, and then expressed the rest of what he had to say.

Seeing this, Fei Luhong cleverly added: "Lord Zhong, this is nonsense, as far as Li Shu's little fight can be compared to your Zhong Wenbin's family's industry, your family's brocade cotton and linen supply is stable, Li Shu is not counted!" ”

"Don't dare, Master Fei laughed."

Zhong Wenbin didn't hear the meaning of flattery at all, he only felt that this praise was panicked. I'm afraid it's not a good thing.

"Huh! Lord Zhong, where is Lord Fei laughing, do you really think that your family's industry is not as capable as Li Shu? ”

Hearing Zuo Zhuo say this, Zhong Wenbin didn't dare to shirk anymore.

"This ......"

Zhong Wenbin thought that he couldn't fool the past today.

"Lord Zuo, the lower officials think that this Li Shu's actions are really difficult to guess, and the lower officials don't dare to speculate on the emperor's thoughts, it's just that this is a business that doesn't make money, and Lord Li is doing it happily, and the lower officials can't do it......"

"Don't make money?" Fei Luhong didn't know what he meant, the brocade of the Li Shu family was all on the edge of the palace gate, and the emperor knew it, how could this be an unprofitable business?

"Lord Fei doesn't know. The brocade business in the north is different from the south, the material is also different, my family's annual cotton is the mother's family in the border area of the accumulation of goods sources, whether it is the north and the south, as long as the cotton is used, it must be from the frontier to bring goods, the higher cost is imported from Persia, but in the past two years, the new policy has been introduced, the policy is not allowed. There were no merchants buying cotton from Persia for a long time, and all the cotton came from the northern Xinjiang, which was a large cost price. But as far as I know, Master Li's brocade materials have been made into the palace, but the price is less than sixty percent of the lower officials, which is really not profitable! ”

Fei Luhong didn't understand.

"There has to be a way to tie up with the emperor, didn't Li Shu break his arm?"

Zhong Wenbin couldn't figure out what Li Shu wanted to do.

"This ...... Left-sama. Xiaguan thought at first that this Li Shu just wanted to tie up with the emperor, but he didn't expect him to do this for a whole year, even if it was for him to earn a royal reputation, but Xiaguan also sent someone to inquire privately, and all the income in the market was added to him, and the money earned back and forth was still insufficient, so Xiaguan didn't understand. ”

Zuo Zhuo patted his sleeves and looked at Zhong Wenbin, he was afraid that he was a fool, he really couldn't see clearly.

"Lord Zhong."

Zuo Zhuo's hand was placed on his mouth and he made a quiet gesture.

"Shh......h

Zuo Zhuo pointed to the window again, and someone in the corridor was eavesdropping.

Fei Luhong and Zhong Wenbin both saw that figure, thinking that it should not be from another family, they can understand with their fingers that this is a detailed work sent by Master Li.

"This?" Fei Luhong was still thinking about what he had just said, and he was afraid that he would not be listened to by this person!

"Lord Zhong has to take good control of the family's industry, don't be eaten alive by others and don't know it."

Zuo Zhuo shook his hand as he spoke, signaling the two of them not to make any more public announcements at this time.

"Yes, Lord Zhong, you have to have more snacks, otherwise you will be appreciated by the emperor by Li Shu's flattering person, and you are afraid that you will not mix in this world."

"Yes, thank you two for mentioning, after the official goes back, he will set up a student to take care of the family's business."

At this moment, an attendant from outside the door entered, and the figure in the corridor was gone.

"My lord, Young Master Ting is having dinner with friends on the second floor, and I seem to have heard that I know that you are also here, and I think I am coming to look for you."

"Ling Gongzi is here today? It seems that it should be the time for the whole family to get together! ”

Zuo Zhuo has already finished what he wants to say today, and he doesn't have time to entangle with these two fools anymore.

"Then the prime minister will go back first, and the rest of the two adults should think about it, if there is something you don't understand, then come to my prime minister's house to talk."

"Oops! Excuse me, my lord, I don't know that Xiao'er is here today, I'm afraid that I will disturb the adult's words, but it's also a good thing not to let the hairy boy know, lest he talk too much and disturb the adult's purity! On the other day, the lower officials decided to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to apologize. ”

As soon as Zuo Zhuo finished speaking, he got up and prepared to leave.

"Slow down, adults!"

Fei Luhong and Zhong Wenbin were relieved to see that Zuo Zhuo was leaving, and after getting up to make a farewell gift, they were also beating their own drums in their hearts......

"This Chinese New Year's Eve, what is the crime, let's talk about it another day." After speaking, the people around Zuo Zhuo began to leave, Zuo Zhuo didn't reply, he walked out of the restaurant through the side door, got into the carriage, and the group left.

"And that's it? Wen Bin, the brocade matter, but nothing is clear! ”

"How can I explain it, this has been said clearly enough, and I won't check myself for the rest, I'm afraid that there is a squire in this military department, and the prime minister has no heart to let me sit."

Zuo Zhuo is gone, only the hearts of these two foxes are still stirring in this gutter, and what they say is that they hear the above meaning, but how to do this?

What does Lord Zuo want to do, is this reasonable?

On this Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhong Wenbin and Fei Luhong are afraid that they will have to waste their brains.

The shadow outside the door......
