Chapter Forty-Nine: The Imperial Palace's Vendors
Zhang Zhou wanted to scold him, what kind of business did you say you had nothing to do?
Do you really think you are Tao Zhugong and Shen Wansan?
Are you the material?
"Shou Ning Hou, Jianchang Bo ......"
Zhang Zhou muttered in his mouth.
Zhu Feng seemed to be igniting hope, and his eyes were shining, and he asked, "Is there a way to dredge up the relationship?" ”
Zhang Zhou sneered disdainfully: "You are a child of the national family, you have no channels, where can I help you dredge up the relationship?" Didn't ask your father to come forward? ”
Don't say that it's okay to fight for my father, as soon as he said this, Zhu Feng looked depressed, and poured out bitter water again: "Originally, my father heard that I was in business, so he scolded me to the bloody head, and then I heard that it was the two brothers of the Zhang family, he almost beat me with a stick, and said that it was just right to lose money, and he would not let me get involved in business in the future, just be a good Jinyi guard." I don't think he dares to confront his relatives. ”
When the son finally understood.
Although your father is a national prince, he is very cowardly.
Zhang Zhou muttered, "Wood...... What about the quantity, the quality? ”
Zhu Feng was stunned by the question, but he still said sincerely: "The materials I buy are all good materials, and the quality is not bad, and the Zhang brothers are so angry that I make a stumbling block for me, so that their broken materials can be sold at a high price." I wanted to sell it before the winter, when there were many houses being repaired and the price of wood was high, but now I ...... Even if the material is transported, there is no play. ”
Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "The relationship between the two of the Zhang family is all over the world, and they are big dealers in the capital, and they have done less to oppress people with power?" ”
"Alas!"
Zhu Feng sighed.
Zhang Zhou suddenly smiled again: "But don't worry, your batch of wood can come in handy, and you won't lose it." ”
"Why?" Zhu Feng was happy for no reason, as if he was a little blind to Zhang Zhou, and then a question mark rose in his head.
Zhang Zhou said: "Oh, because tomorrow the imperial palace Qingning Palace will catch fire, affecting the surrounding palaces, and when you go back and rebuild, you will definitely need a large amount of wood." ”
"Huh?"
Zhu Feng first looked at Zhang Zhou with a stunned look in his eyes, and then he seemed to realize something, and said in horror, "There is a fire in the palace?" Or tomorrow? Is someone going to set the fire? ”
"No one set it on fire, I said there was this fire, there would be one."
"Is it the prophecy of the great man? Brother Zhang, why didn't you say this earlier? No, even if there is a fire in the palace, and the palace wants to repair the palace to purchase wood, it is impossible to purchase this batch in my hands? From the Ministry of Industry to the Inner Mansion of the Ming Dynasty, the relationship network behind it can be complicated, and I can't get through any of the layers of relationships. ”
"Hahaha......"
Zhang Zhou did not shy away from laughing.
Zhu Feng shuddered and said, "Brother Zhang, don't laugh, I laugh so much that I am hairy." ”
Zhang Zhou continued to laugh insolently, and said, "I said that the palace would purchase your batch of wood, and it would definitely be purchased, and it was the only batch that could be purchased." ”
"Why?"
Zhu Fengren was a little confused, is this talking about human words?
Zhang Zhou doesn't need Zhu Feng to be an understanding person, this kind of person, the more ignorant the better.
"Second Master Zhu, although some words are a little ugly, it is still necessary to make it clear in advance, if this batch of materials is purchased, it will be ...... What's in it for you? ”
Zhu Feng understood.
If you want to keep yourself from losing money, or even make money, you must first get through the relationship between Zhang Zhou.
What is the Ming Inner Government and the Ministry of Industry, will not be considered.
"If you can really sell it at the original price, I'll give you 30%...... No, I'll give you fifty percent, and I'm happy to lose half of it, just don't rot in the river reservoir. Zhu Feng said.
Zhang Zhou smiled: "You don't have to lose, just give you a guarantee, give me the rest, do you think it's okay?" ”
"Okay, what the hell is going on? Can you make that clear now? ”
"No, it's better that you don't know anything, so that you can make sure that this matter goes smoothly, and the more you know, the worse it will be for you! Just remember me. ”
"Also, even if someone asks you to buy materials recently, you won't sell it, remember that you have to elevate yourself to the posture of a palace supplier, so that others can see your arrogance!"
“……”
……
……
Zhang Zhou originally felt that it didn't matter much to him when he used power for personal gain, but now that he has the opportunity, he can't let it go.
The money of the Ming royal family is not earned in vain.
I can't prophesy you in vain, can I?
Zhang Zhou inquired in detail about all the wood materials of Zhu Feng, including the material, origin, age, hardness, etc., and he found that Zhu Feng was not right at all, this is indeed a batch of good materials...... The problem is that even if you repair your own house these days, you may not use this kind of good material.
Why do you do business so sincerely?
Just because you're so good, the trouble is coming, right?
How do you let those powerful people who have broken material in their hands do business?
Send Zhu Feng away.
Zhang Zhou looked at the simple account books he listed, and continued to sit in the main hall to settle the accounts, the more he calculated, the happier he became.
As long as there is a fire in the palace, when he goes back to repair the Qingning Palace, he will definitely find him as a staff officer, and even if he doesn't look for it, he will take the initiative to make suggestions. When the time comes...... What materials were used at that time, it was not up to him to have the final say?
Oh my God.
Even if the emperor knows that some things cannot be fully believed, does he dare not believe them?
"Husband, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Pingyu came in, saw Zhang Zhou being stupidly there, and asked with a concerned face.
Zhang Zhou smiled: "Oh, it's okay, our family will get rich soon." Shhhhh ”
Jiang Pingyu frowned, her husband is such a high-profile person, is this still self-proclaimed low-key?
She asked, "Do you mean that there will be any reward in the palace?" ”
"Not really, but I will reward it later. It's just that I did a small business and won't tell you about it now. Is everything out there cleaned up? Zhang Zhou tucked the booklet into his arms and asked.
Jiang Pingyu nodded: "It's almost time to pick up, the air in the northern house is really good, but ...... It's still a bit cold. ”
Zhang Zhou said: "Then add a few more quilts, and I'll find someone to make an iron stove when I go back, and then get some iron pipes or something, and get a heating for the house." But this is someone else's yard...... It's nothing, it is estimated that soon we will have the money to buy a new house in the capital. ”
“……”
Jiang Pingyu stared at her husband with a pair of watery eyes.
If Zhang Zhou had just said this when he was out of the Tribute Hospital, she would definitely think that her husband was crazy.
Now, for some reason, she listened to her husband...... I obviously think it's very bizarre and nonsense, but in my heart I feel that it seems to be something that is going to be realized immediately.
Trust between husband and wife is also cultivated gradually.
"Okay, get ready to hurry up and prepare for the birthday dinner, today Qing'er is the birthday star of the family. Are longevity noodles ready? ”
"I prepared ......"
For the family, it was another housewarming.
Although Zhang Zhou knows that in the future, this kind of housewarming may continue to occur frequently, the house will always become more and more spacious, more and more magnificent, and there will be more and more members of the family.
……
……
The next day, in the court.
Zhu Youzhu was a little listless, and the minister was reporting the matter, and he didn't listen carefully, not because Zhang Zhou said that there would be a fire that night.
He didn't believe it in the first place, but now that even the Empress Dowager Zhou has moved out, he won't have the heart to think about it.
He was just a little inattentive because he hadn't taken Li Guang's pill for the past two days.
Feeling like your body is being hollowed out......
But in the minister's view, it is not like that.
After the dispersal of the dynasty.
The three ministers walked together, and Xie Qian smiled and said, "You don't know, do you? I heard the attendant who led the way early this morning say that Xie Yuan, who was tested in Jiangnan Township yesterday, was summoned by His Majesty after arriving in Beijing, guess what? After he faced the saint, he couldn't help but say, and directly pointed out that at midnight today, Qingning Palace would catch fire. ”
"What?"
Liu Jian and Li Dongyang both frowned.
Xie Qian smiled and sighed: "I can't understand it either, you said that a Wenru has already been solved in the Yuan, and the princess also let him save it, and the epidemic in the capital has also been suppressed by him, what are you doing with these things that the gods are talking about?" ”
Li Dongyang was keen-minded and said, "He is deliberately targeting Li Guang." ”
"What about the target? Turning around, Li Guang relied on him, saying that he colluded with the people in the palace to set the fire, and he had a way to defend himself? Besides, it's all clear in advance, can this fire really start? Xie Qian also became serious.
Don't look at Xie Qian's usual giggling, but he can become one of the cabinet tridents in the middle and late Hongzhi period, and his insight and resourcefulness are not covered.
Xie Qian looked at Liu Jian on the side again: "Zhongtang, what do you think?" ”
Liu Jian said: "No wonder Your Majesty seems to be preoccupied today, and he is also thinking about this matter, I really can't understand this matter." ”
Xie Qian asked, "Then do you want to ask him privately?" ”
Liu Jian shook his head and said thoughtfully: "Maybe he just wants to show weakness to Li Guang and tell Li Guang that the person behind him has no ability to calculate." ”
"Sss Xie Qian took a breath, "This fire was said by him, and Li Guang was tired of parrying; If he didn't say it, Li Guang relaxed his vigilance...... Advance and retreat appropriately. If that's the case, this son's scheming is not insignificant. ”
Liu Jian said: "Since ancient times, things involving disasters in the heavenly family should not be discussed privately by courtiers. The choice he made was left to him. ”
