The merchants looked at them curiously, and one of them asked, "Dare to ask the master, where does the opportunity come from?"

"As you all know, the new grains this time are all shipped from Pan and Tongzhou, and the land is the Hongshan Horse Road by land, so naturally it will be sent to the Manhong Pass, and the escort is the forbidden army in the west of the city. Hehe, this summer's rations are now all military rations." Jiang Nianhua smiled quite proudly, "A few years ago, Pang Boyi was the only one and looked down on us ninth-rate, but now he is not asking for the door to be an official?"

The merchants were interested, and one of them asked, "The shopkeeper's words sound interesting."

Jiang Nianhua leaned back a little and said, "The Lord said that the treasury is empty, and now the treasury is empty and has no money, and we have to supply and transport this grain all summer, but the officials want to pay on credit, isn't it embarrassing for us?"

All the businessmen echoed in unison: "This is too inappropriate."

"For those who do business, the money on hand is always turning, and if they continue to provide for it so obediently this summer, the weekday expenditure account will definitely be a mess." Jiang Nianhua tapped the case with his index finger, "So we have to do the article here."

A businessman hesitated and said, "Is the building in charge talking about?"

"The food for disaster relief must be paid on credit, and presumably the treasury does not have the money and manpower to build the building that the emperor wants to build." Jiang Nianhua squinted his eyes and looked around at everyone, "But the treasury doesn't have it, we have it."

The merchants were puzzled, and some people scratched their heads and asked, "The little one doesn't understand what the master means."

"I don't have a lot of cash on hand, but there is still a lot of goods in the warehouse that have been brought in from outside, and if they are exchanged for money, they will be enough to build a building." Jiang Nianhua's smug smile became a little thicker, "Since we are going to lose money this summer, let's be generous, help the emperor build the building, and then only wait for the next day."

He knocked on the table and didn't say any more.

But the eyes of all the businessmen have already lit up.

"This building is high, if you can enter the inner city smoothly according to this move, this helping hand, the Holy God will inevitably have to spread his kindness." Someone gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "The master's methods are clever."

"The timber of this building has been transported to the outer nine cities and pressed, and now that it is rainy in summer, the wood will soon rot if it is soaked like this." Jiang Nianhua said lightly, "The errand assigned by the emperor, whoever picks it up is unlucky, and it is a big crime to do it badly. So, we're going to have to help give people some air."

The merchants nodded frequently, looked at each other, and laughed sneakily.

"But the little ones dare to ask." Shang Jia leaned over curiously and asked, "There is no one here, even if the wind is heard, I am afraid that it will not be able to blow into the ears of the saint."

Jiang Nianhua tapped the table, then stretched out his arms and led to the screen, saying, "Everyone, come and meet."

He got up and gently pushed the screen, revealing a table inside, on which was placed a cup of crystal clear tea cup, the fragrance of tea was very faint, mixed with the smell of wine in the room, so that people could not smell it.

This man was dressed in a plain robe, dressed ordinarily, and his face was old, and no one recognized this person's identity.

One of the merchants politely asked, "Who is this nobleman?"

A group of businessmen all cast puzzled glances at Jiang Nianhua.

"One of the Three Princes." Jiang Nianhua bowed respectfully first, "Tang Jiankai, Tang Situ."

When all the merchants heard this, they were all drunk and sobered, and they all bowed in unison.

Tang Jian returned the salute, and then waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, saying: "The construction of this building is the order of the saint, and the old man must not disobey the order.

Jiang Nianhua was straightforward and said, "We are engaged in business, and our family and country are useful to us, so we will naturally do our best."

"Shopkeeper Jiang is polite." Tang Jiankai glanced at him, and then looked at the merchants, "Everyone, I don't need to argue with you here, to tell the truth, if you can build this building, then three of the nine floors can set up your own shops to do business."

Someone among the merchants humbly asked, "Ask Tang Situ, what about the six floors above?"

"The upper six floors are the meeting places of the bureaucrats in my inner city, and the top floor is the Majesty's Ascending Tower." Tang Jiankai looked around at everyone, "Do you think this deal can be done?"

this

As soon as the words came out, the eyes of the businessmen turned red.

Three layers, not to mention three layers, is two layers, one layer, and they are also willing.

Emperor Jingcheng personally climbed the building and said that the value of this building itself is extraordinary, which is a great thing for the emperor to show them a signboard.

But businessmen are businessmen, and in the face of huge interests, they all remained silent and looked at Jiang Nianhua together.

The leader of the clapper here is Jiang Nianhua, and the businessmen dare not act rashly.

"Three floors." Jiang Nianhua didn't think about it, "Deal."

Tang Jiankai slowly bowed his head and said, "Then the old man will talk about the details. On the first and second floors, you can build a restaurant and a wine shop, and on the second floor, you can build a tea house and a calligraphy and painting building, but on the third floor, you can only build a red building."

The merchants were stunned.

The first and second floors are still said to be in the past, but the third floor can only be built with a red building?

What is the Red Mansion? That's an elegant name, and the original meaning is Qinglou.

"It should be as Tang Situ said." Jiang Nianhua nodded in response, "We all agreed, no objection."

As he spoke, he glanced at the merchants, and the crowd also said yes.

Tang Jiankai was helped up by the dancing girl, and he said, "In this case, you can prepare later. In a few days, the old man will mention this to His Majesty."

Tang Jiankai left without drinking a cup of tea, the fragrance of tea was still there, but after all, it couldn't hide the smell of wine that was spitting more and more heavily.

The businessmen all stared at Jiang Nianhua with great brilliance.

Jiang Nianhua was still smiling proudly, he sat down and ate a lot of wine with the merchants, until midnight drunk out of Nanmen Street, riding a carriage back to the dock.

As soon as the warehouse door opened, Jiang Nianhua was about to go in, when he suddenly saw a person sitting paralyzed on the ground.

This man is the shopkeeper who usually instructs the transporters to move the goods and keep accounts. z.br>

Jiang Nianhua hiccuped, and when he approached, he asked slowly, "What are you doing sitting here?"

The shopkeeper looked ahead with stunned eyes and said, "It's over, it's all over?"

Jiang Nianhua didn't know why, he asked drunkenly, "What's over?"

The shopkeeper slowly looked sideways at Jiang Nianhua, and said with bloodless lips trembling.

"The gold is gone."

The glow of the candle flame is blurry, and the yellow fluorescence that fills the room is enough to make the lovers of money in this world jaw-dropping.

"The gold is yours now." Liu Taijing crossed his legs and drank tea leisurely, "But I want to ask, what are you going to do with all this gold?"

Motoyoshi scanned the boxes of gold, outlining the corners of his lips in the obsessive golden glow.

"One Ticket." He turned to look at Liu Taijing, paused and laughed, "Big deal."

"Big deal...... "Big deal" Liu Taijing's long fingers were as smooth as jade, and the teacup was dim, "I advise you to stop this deal."

Motoyoshi held his hands on his chest and asked confidently, "No matter what I do, can't I escape your eyes?"

"Not my eyes." Liu Taijing pointed to his eyes, and then slowly moved down and tapped his chest, "You can't escape my heart."

"If I don't make this deal." Yuan Ji sat down, poured tea and said, "When will your dream come true?"

"Why do you say it so tactfully?" Liu Taijing looked at him with interest, "What you care about is your purpose."

Yuanji took a sip of tea, put it down, wiped the corners of his mouth and chuckled and asked, "What is my purpose?"

"Zhen Yi." Liu Taijing leaned on the table with one arm, looked at him and smiled, "Flip the case."

"I will avenge the king's revenge." Yuan Ji spit out a few points heavier, "But the people can't fight the sky, so I have to climb up, and you too."

"I'm not in a hurry." Liu Taijing guessed his question, "I have time."

"I'm in a hurry." Yuan Ji stared at him fiercely, "Can't wait."

"Emperor Jingcheng has two teeth in his mouth." Liu Taijing pointed to something, and said comfortingly, "You can't pull any of them, so it's better to move forward slowly, and wait for the best time."

Yuan Ji suddenly lightly

Brushing the teacup on the table, the teacup tumbled and smashed to the ground, shattering without warning.

Liu Taijing looked sideways at the debris all over the ground.

The atmosphere became scorching.

Yuanji's eyes stared at his prey like a coiled viper, and he said in a playful tone, "Now that I have a tooth, I will be able to pull it out soon."

Liu Taijing turned his head to look at him and said, "You have to attack King Jin."

"He was exposed." Yuan Ji's smile was a little more proud, "I don't have time, don't do it at this time, when he pulls out Jiang Nianhua, the next one may be me."

Liu Taijing smiled calmly and asked, "Where do you want to start?"

Motoyoshi stared at him, but his finger pointed to the debris on the ground and spat out two words.

"Yanzhou."

Liu Taijing's smile froze, but it immediately retracted in an instant, he lowered his head expressionlessly and pondered for a moment, and then slowly looked up at Yuan Ji.

"Okay."

This word seems to be the final word.

"Wait until this building is built." Yuan Ji stood up with one hand on the case, "Chongdu will inevitably change greatly, and by then—"

"Bite King Jin to death." Liu Taijing answered, immediately got up and walked to the door to push the door open, he said before leaving, "I will bet with you on this gamble."

Motoyoshi cast a look of ambition from behind him, and he bowed his head and said, "You will never lose."

The door was creaky, and the predecessors had disappeared into the night.

The streets of Chongdu are full of people coming and going, and they are far more lively and prosperous than before.

Transporters carrying rough logs went in and out inside and out, and a long line went back and forth to and from the inner city gates.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Xiong Er was dressed in majestic armor and rode a horse to direct the transporter to carry it, "Move quickly, don't be lazy!"

A group of forbidden troops in the west of the city who followed Xiong Er all echoed and shouted, urging the workers to work.

"General, this building is getting higher and higher." The soldier cocked his thumb and smacked his mouth, "Amazing."

"That's it." Xiong Er said proudly, "This is the building that the emperor wants, it's not high, is it worthy for the emperor to climb the building?"

The soldier nodded complimentarily and said, "What the general said is true, what he said!"

Just when everyone was chatting nonsense, the transporters who had been lined up in a long line suddenly became intermittent, making people see that something was wrong at a glance.

Xiong Er raised his eyes to signal, and the soldier was clever enough to understand, he stepped forward to stop the two transporters carrying the timber, and asked, "What about the people outside?" Why are you just a few of you, aren't you lazy?!"
