Chapter 201: Old Friends
At this time, it was just past noon, and it was far from the business hours of the sound and color industry, and the whole song was quiet.
The carriage was parked in front of a courtyard gate with no signboard and a slightly dilapidated appearance.
After the king of Jin took the king of Chu out of the car, he covered his face with a fan and went straight into the courtyard.
"Third brother, do you have a creditor here?" Zhu Zhen asked strangely.
"Yes, and a lot." Zhu sighed and pretended to be deep: "Alas, you don't understand, a man like the third brother will only owe one kind of debt, but it is also the most difficult to repay." ”
"Oh." Zhu Zhen nodded, and said in his heart that he had to be the third brother, and he said that 'there are many good looks' so unconventional.
"Get in, if we find out, we won't be able to get down to business." Zhu said and pulled Lao Liu into the courtyard.
Zhu Zhen complained wildly in his heart, there are still people who come to this kind of place to do business? Doing business and coming to this kind of place?
When I went in, I found that it was a mess, with broken tables and chairs piled up in the yard, and a group of people were removing garbage from the building to the courtyard.
He was pleasantly surprised to find that it was actually someone from the Hong family class who was working.
The younger brothers of the Hong family class also saw the two highnesses, and quickly threw down the work at hand, and stepped forward to kowtow one after another, and said hello to His Royal Highness the King of Chu.
"Okay, you're here too?" Zhu Zhen greeted them with a smile, they have been in the Hong family class for so long, and they still have some feelings with these guys.
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin called us." Shen Liuniang's slightly hoarse, but unique and charming voice sounded.
"Ah, Liuniang is also here." Zhu Zhen greeted her with a smile.
"Meet Your Highness." Liuniang walked out of the building with a swaying posture, smiling and chanting towards the old Liufu and a blessing.
"Your face is better. Well, the skin is also much whiter and tenderer. The old lady really didn't brag. Zhu Zhen looked at her with satisfaction.
"Well, she's not a boiled egg now." King Jin never knew what it meant to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, so he made fun of her and said, "It's become a shelled egg." ”
"Actually, I've grown some hair." Liuniang helplessly helped the gauze hat on her head. "But I still can't look at it, and now I wear this all day."
"It will grow long in the future, and it will always grow." Zhu Zhen comforted her with a smile. The heart said, it should be kiwi now......
~~
After the greetings, Zhang Hu urged everyone to continue working, while Shen Liuniang led the two highnesses to the backyard.
The place in the backyard is very large, and there is a rockery pond, but it is in disrepair, the grass and trees are growing wildly, and it is already a mess, and there is no beauty in the slightest.
The three of them followed the only manicured path into a house surrounded by a bamboo fence.
The crooked fence looked like it had just been put up. It was just cleaned up and a few tables and chairs were put up.
"If the two highnesses had come yesterday, they would have only been able to drink water in the courtyard." Shen Liuniang settled the two of them and sat down, and turned around to make tea by herself.
"Third brother, what are you trying to do?" Zhu Zhen looked at the third brother in confusion, Ximen Qing opened a store for Pan Jinlian? It's not like a golden house.
"What else can I get?" Zhu Dao: "Of course, I have completed my father's task."
"Didn't my father ask me to collect civilian intelligence?" He explained to the sixth child:
"After I went back, I thought about it repeatedly, but in fact, there are only two ways. One is to cast a wide net among the people, catch those local snakes, bao inquire, and so on, and let them provide information to the king. ”
"Mm-hmm, that makes sense." Zhu Zhen nodded, don't say it, when the third brother is not a sand sculpture, he still has a bit of a boss taste.
"Well, I'll figure it out. But there's a problem, those local snakes and bags inquire, it's difficult to serve only the king, if someone is used to make a counter-plot or something, won't I have a lot of fun with the third brother? ”
"Well, intelligence contamination is a big problem." Zhu Zhen nodded again.
"Intelligence contamination? The word is accurate. "The third child liked it and accepted it." So you have to walk on two legs and create your own source of intelligence.
"But the cost of casting a wide net is too high, and the king can't afford to raise so many idlers. So I had to switch to bait fishing. He continued:
"For example, if you open a teahouse or restaurant, and let others take the initiative to come to me, wouldn't it be much easier to gather information?"
"But what do the little people know? If you want to obtain useful information, you have to start with people with a certain status, rich and powerful. Therefore, the general teahouse restaurant is not good, you must choose the best prime location, and you must build the highest-grade restaurant, Daqing Building!
"You have to hire the most famous prostitutes and hire the best troupe! What decoration, service, food, and environment must be the best! Privacy, in particular! In this way, we can attract rich and powerful people to come, and they are willing to talk about things with us! ”
"Uh-oh." Zhu Zhen then nodded. "But what does this have to do with my little family?"
"You don't have to talk to the third brother here, 'daffodils don't bloom - pretend to be garlic'." Zhu pulled the stool in front of Zhu Zhen, and said with a smile face to face:
"I'm the third brother who looks better than Pan An and has a unique eye! I've long understood it, sixth child, you, look silly and stupid, but your stomach is actually ghostly. I'm especially good at intelligence! ”
"Me, do intelligence?" Zhu Zhen was speechless and said, where did this start?
"Who inquired about King Ming's plan to flood the Seventh Army?" Zhu put his arms around Zhu Zhen's neck and laughed in a low voice:
"And that toilet bugging device, who designed it?"
"Fourth Brother ......"
"Come less. I've been fighting with him for more than ten years, can I not know how much dry goods he has in his stomach? Zhu didn't give Zhu Zhen a chance to hide his clumsiness at all, and blindly begged each other:
"Brother, help the third brother, and give me the design here, so that I can eavesdrop on the conversations in all the rooms."
"You're such a pervert." Zhu Zhen was speechless for a while.
"Alas, isn't it all about sharing the worries of my father?" Zhu said with a loyal face. Then he didn't forget to draw a cake and said: "Besides, the third brother will go to the domain in a few years, and he will make this stall up, and in the end, it will not be cheaper for you?" ”
"How can you be cheaper for me?"
"Do you think who among our brothers can take over my class?" Zhu said lightly.
"Fourth brother."
"The fourth child is only one year younger than me, my father asked him to take over, and he has to find someone to take over his class when he turns around, how can he ask for trouble?" Zhu Shen said: "So it's only you." ”
"It doesn't have to be the prince to take care of this." Zhu Zhen said.
"No, it will. The situation will become more and more tense in the future, and at this time, the eyes and ears must not be blinded. So my father has no choice, he can only rely on us. The frivolity on Zhu's face disappeared, and he said with a serious expression:
"Do you know where such a big place came from?"
"Where did it come from?"
"Father's gift." Zhu Shen said: "At first, his old man didn't want me to make it so big at the beginning. I said that I was going to let you be my deputy, and when I took over after you, the old man agreed. ”
