Shen Liang said: "Yun'er has little rest, now we have to ask for others, naturally bow low and be small, but this Qiu Liang, I thought he was a big family, but I didn't expect the family to wither, it looks like a broken household, and he is also a strong outsider." ”

Compared with Rongguo Mansion, Qiu Liang's home is too far away, the pillars of the side hall are mottled with vermilion paint, it seems that it has not been maintained for a long time, and even the servants at home have not seen a few, and the door that he met when he entered the door was sixty years old, and his ears were not very smart.

It's like the high-end community of later generations, employing retired soldiers and good boys; And those old communities employ some old men in their seventies and eighties.

Shen Liang sighed in his heart, this Qiu Liang's grandfather Qiu Wanzhang was the same generation as his grandfather, and he also participated in the defense of the capital back then, but he didn't expect it to decay to this step now.

Future generations can only seek some money through extortion, and it is estimated that in a few years, the son of the Qiu Liang family can only be a small official of the Soldiers and Horses, and he will not be able to stand out from everyone.

In fact, Rongguofu is not much stronger, the signs of family decay have appeared, and the family has a big business, and there will only be more problems than Qiu Liang here, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, but it just looks bright on the outside.

"Hahaha, Master Jia, I've kept you waiting."

A hearty laugh came in from outside the door, and it was Qiu Liang.

Qiu Liang was full of smiles, and when he came up, he grabbed Shen Liang's hand, Shen Liang only felt that the other party's hand was slippery and greasy, and he didn't know what moisturizer he wiped.

The guest and the host sat down, and Qiu Liang asked, "Master Jia, you came to visit late at night, I don't know what you have to do?" ”

Shen Liang said: "Master Qiu, let's not talk darkly, a thousand taels of silver, to buy my friend's safety." ”

One thousand taels?

Qiu Liang was a little confused by Shen Liang, he was surprised that the other party was so generous, he really wanted to take the money and release people, he sighed and said: "Master Jia, it's not that I am willing to embarrass you, it's just that this matter is beyond my control." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the sky, "I agree, and the people above me will not agree, there are people above me." ”

Shen Liang smiled faintly and said, "Is there someone above you?" Who is it, is it the emperor? If it's the emperor, I won't say a word, I'll leave now, if not, then we can continue to talk.

I'm not afraid to tell you, Fangzi, you don't have to think about it, the four major restaurants in Beijing have already taken shares, I don't think I need to tell you, who is standing behind the four major restaurants, right? ”

Qiu Liang's face was dark and ugly, he didn't expect Shen Liang to actually unite the four major restaurants.

Just kidding, he can't handle the behind-the-scenes of the Drunken Immortal Building, let alone several other restaurants, several of which are in power, and one is even at the level of a prince.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Shen Liang shook his head and smiled: "Master Qiu, you and I both belong to Xungui, your grandfather was still my grandfather's right-hand man, we should belong to the same family, listen to my brother's advice, you can't bear this matter, even the one behind you can't bear it."

As the saying goes, being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, let me guess, behind you is not a prince, or the first assistant of the cabinet of the dynasty. I already have a prince here, the head of the household is the first assistant, and among the other princes, the king of Nan'an County has already died, and he can't afford to be your backer, so in addition to Prince Zhongshun is Prince Yizhong, I don't know which prince is your bitter master? ”

Qiu Liang's face darkened, because what Shen Liang said was all right, he looked at Shen Liang and said, "How do you know everything?" ”

If it weren't for Shen Liang's reasoning, he would have wondered if Shen Liang had planted eyeliner in his mansion.

"Jia Gongzi, Ming people don't say secret words, since they have reached this point, I will tell the truth, Prince Yizhong instructed me to ask for this recipe." Qiu Liang said, "I can't get this way, no one dares to disobey the order given by Prince Yizhong, so I will report this matter to the prince, and you can make it convenient for us." ”

Shen Liang shook his head and said: "You still don't understand what I mean, the share of the four restaurants has been set to death, and there will be no more people to join, and the people behind you want to come in, and more than two-thirds of us will pass." ”

Shen Liang This is the first time that the concept of the joint-stock system has been introduced into the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is the first time that it has been tried out.

He himself represents the power of Rongguofu, no matter what decision is made, others will see it as the will of Rongguofu, they would never have imagined that a minor would have such courage and power to decide a big business with an annual income of hundreds of thousands of taels.

However, his joint-stock system is only a prototype, not even a prototype, but it does establish a framework system, and all he has to do is to constantly improve this framework.

This is to lean against the big tree to enjoy the shade, the same as Qiu Liang, but he is for greater development, and Qiu Liang is a little heroic and short-breathed.

"If you don't give up a share, I'm afraid the old prince Yizhong won't agree."

Qiu Liang looked embarrassed.

Shen Liang took out a silver ticket of one thousand taels from his arms and slapped it on the table: "Lord Qiu, I didn't discuss this matter with you, the old prince Yizhong is the emperor's uncle, but our side is the emperor's father-in-law and the money bag, which is more important, it seems that I don't need to say more."

And you can do this well, no one can say anything, you just report it truthfully, and after the matter is completed, there will be five hundred taels of silver. ”

As soon as he made a move, it was 1,000 taels, which was already a huge amount of money for a principal like Qiu Liang.

The concubine he married last year cost more than eighty taels.

It is not easy to live in the capital.

The expression on Qiu Liang's face couldn't help but change, as if he was doing a psychological struggle, for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Master Jia, I can let people go, but ......"

Shen Liang patted him on the shoulder: "I understand, three days later, I will send someone to pick him up." ”

Sometimes that's the case, when you become a biaozi, you have to set up a memorial arch, otherwise Qiu Liang will have no way to explain on the side of the old prince Yizhong.

Shen Liangwan refused Qiu Liang's request to talk at night, and took Zhao Yun and Jia Yun out of Qiu Mansion.

As soon as the liquor matter came to an end, Shen Liang ordered Zhao Yun to rest in the capital for a day, and early tomorrow morning, he would return to Heitu Village to supervise the work.

The fortifications of Heitu Village were delayed for a few days because of the Chinese New Year, but the foundation has been laid, and the rest is some delicate work, and it is necessary to wait for the temperature to rise before building the buildings above.

The construction of the Great Zhou Dynasty still generally used wood, which required a large number of carpenters and craftsmen to collaborate.

Shen Liang has never been to Heitu Village once, and has a strong interest in this future factory, and plans to go to the scene to see it for himself after the Lantern Festival.

Zhao Yun and Jia Yun kept sending Shen Liang to the door of Rongguo Mansion before stopping.

Shen Liang walked in the courtyard, and when it was approaching, only the lantern hanging at the door in the courtyard emitted a faint light.

Shen Liang didn't let the door send it away, he didn't like the feeling of someone following, most of the time, he would choose to go alone, which was conducive to thinking.

The pace of life in the Great Zhou Dynasty was very slow, leaving a lot of time for people to think.

In addition, there are no mobile phones, no computers and no television, and people have extremely few channels to obtain information and knowledge.

The proportion of illiterate and literate readers in ancient times is probably about the same as the proportion of illiterate people today.

Shen Liang remembered what Qiu Liang said about the old prince of righteousness, and when he talked about this old prince of righteousness, he still has a lot of roots with Jiafu.

Qin Keqing mourned Tianxianglou, and the coffin board used after his death was the old Prince Yizhong's, but because the old Prince Yizhong was bad, he didn't use it.

A prince, the emperor's uncle, what's so bad that you can't even use the coffin board?

Obviously, it is either rebellion or rebellion.

This is also why it is obvious that he can raise his noble hand and let the people behind Qiu Liang join the guild of liquor, but Shen Liang insists that there is no place for it.

A person who is doomed to failure, a person who is destined to die, Shen Liang doesn't want to have a half-dime relationship with him.

Just one Rongguo Mansion is enough for Shen Liang to have a headache, and with another Yizhong old prince, I'm afraid Shen Liang won't be able to live his 18th birthday.

Shen Liang's courtyard is in the northwest corner of Rongguo Mansion, close to the location of Rongqing Hall, adjacent to Lin Daiyu's courtyard.

But before that, he had to pass by Jia Lian's yard, that is, his uncle's brother.

When passing by Jia Lian's courtyard, the door suddenly opened with a "squeak", and a figure poked his head out from behind the door.

Shen Liang was startled, and was about to run, but he heard a familiar voice behind him: "Baoyu, it's me, your sister-in-law Feng." ”
