Meng Huan looked at Brother Meng with a grievance, and looked a little unconvinced. He said that you let your daughter go to take care of the business in the villa.
Brother Meng looked at Meng Huan, then took another look at me, and sighed.
This time Meng Huan negotiated a big deal with Prince Qi's Mansion, and anyone with a discerning eye could see the problem, but she didn't even realize the danger.
It was not convenient for Senior Brother Meng to talk about this, so I had to persuade her. After thinking about it, I said that there are so many blacksmiths in the world, and there are also official camps. It stands to reason that Cangjian Villa is not good at making bows and spears, so why let us take this order
Meng Huan was quite dissatisfied. In order to win this order, I visited the steward of Prince Qi Mansion no less than ten times. I spent several thousand taels of silver before and after. I stood out from more than a dozen firms. I paid so much, but you said I was silly!
Brother Meng had to smile wryly, and his words were earnest, 100,000 arrows, 10,000 bows, 3,000 saddles, 50,000 spears, and 50,000 knives. What do they represent
Meng Huan said that it represents 180,000 taels of silver.
I persuaded from the side that you are a businessman, and I saw that it was 180,000 taels of silver. As a bystander, I saw ten thousand archers, fifty thousand infantry, and three thousand cavalry.
What do you mean
I continued, according to the military system of Ming Dynasty, the number of soldiers in the royal mansion should not exceed two thousand. Although the emperor Xitai agreed to expand the mansion by the king of Qi in six years, it was limited to five thousand men. Now that the emperor is in the Xuanfu imperial conquest, leading the army to fight against the Northern Zhou Dynasty, King Qi used this opportunity to recruit troops and buy horses. A big anti-word is clearly written on King Qi's forehead. You are the leader of the Cangjian Villa, why don't you even have this awareness
Only then did Meng Huan realize the seriousness of the problem. At that time, the Prince of Qi said that the military supply was purchased by the court. I wondered why the arsenal would participate in the bidding in the future. It turns out that there is still this relationship in it!
I said that this is not the crux of the problem. King Qi is the younger brother of the current sage. If there is a sage, I mean in case, there is a long and two shortcomings in the north, who will be the first beneficiary
Meng Huan said, isn’t the capital now being supervised by the prince, and of course the prince inherited the throne.
Brother Meng said that you are confused. The prince is not full of wings. In order to prevent the prince from scheming, the emperor has set up numerous obstacles above the court, while the king of Qi has military power in Shandong and Jizhong. According to your order, at least Equipped with fifty thousand soldiers and horses. Shandong, Jizhong is the guard of the capital, if **** happens, what do you think will happen
Meng Huan was speechless.
I said again, if King Qi has evidence to prove that His Royal Highness is not the emperor's own birth, what will happen
Meng Huan's face was pale and said, that day, she would definitely be caught in a scuffle.
Brother Meng grumbled, girl, your talent in business is unmatched, but you lack a certain sensitivity to politics. The signing of this contract is tantamount to pushing our Hidden Sword Villa into the crater.
How could Meng Huan think that things would be so serious. After all, he was a young man, and he panicked suddenly, but the contract was signed, what can we do
Senior Brother Meng thought for a moment, and said in deep thought, since the contract was signed, the current plan is to drag the order, delay the delivery or not start the work, and even if the contract is breached, it will be nothing more than a loss of money.
Meng Huan's expression was extremely embarrassed, and I stepped forward to comfort him, saying that you are still young, and you can't be completely blamed for this. Let your dad arrange it. Senior Brother Meng stretched out his hand to tear the contract into shreds, and said, No one can mention this matter again, as it has never happened.
Meng Huan said that according to the contract, we will deliver the first shipment in three months.
Senior Brother Meng said coldly, the first batch of goods must have iron ore, but now we have a bad relationship with Murong Mountain Villa, we say that iron ore can no longer be bought, and the government is also tight to investigate and sell salt and iron. The price of iron ore has risen sharply. If the other party really asks, it will say that there is a problem with the supply of raw materials.
Meng Huan looked upset, and I asked Senior Brother Meng what he planned to do next. Brother Meng said, I'm going to the capital now.
Capital? Meng Huan and I shouted together.
Senior Brother Meng said, I still have to let me resolve the trouble you caused. Fortunately, your father and I also have some friends in Beijing, and there are some things, so you can ask them to explain clearly.
What kind of friend do I ask, is it good to talk, do you want me to find someone to clear up the relationship? King Qi and the prince are like fire and water. I thought it was impossible, but I went to Meng Yue and Zhu Runze to make things clear. Even if something happens in the future, there will be an extra barrier.
Senior Brother Meng said, Senior Brother, I have no abilities, and the only blessing is that I have a good master, and we master, there are still a few good apprentices.
I wondered, what do you mean.
Brother Meng, I am going to the capital this time, but I begged your third brother for help with a cheeky.
In addition to me, Sansu accepted three apprentices. In addition to the first brother, the second brother sent the final chicken to the sixth division chief of the Dengwen Academy, the number one assassin in the world. But the third brother, I have never met, and I have never heard two brothers mention it.
So I asked, the third brother is also in the capital now? Why have you never heard Sansu mention it
Senior Brother Meng said with a smile. If the master didn't say anything, it naturally had his intentions.
This made me a little confused. Sansu did accept a few disciples, but he didn't seem to be very patient with the disciples. The big brother Meng Tie-hammer, the three commoners only taught a few strokes of iron technology, but they have achieved the prosperity of the Tibetan Sword Villa. The second brother sent the final chicken. It is said that the Sansu taught him a sword, and he became the number one assassin in the world. Brother San, I have a fate, and I still don't know where it is sacred. I continued to ask the big brother, he just chuckled.
The next day, Senior Brother Meng confessed something, took a sword, a housekeeper, and set off to the capital, and handed over all the affairs of the Tibetan Sword Villa to Meng Huan. Before leaving, Senior Brother gave me two hundred taels. The silver is wrapped around. I spent a day playing with Meng You in the Tibetan Sword Villa. Meng You insisted on going to Putuo with me, or if he promised to come back to see her in a few months, this little guy gave up angrily.
After the order from Prince Qi's Mansion, Meng Huan shut herself in the house and refused to go out for several days. Even the big brother did not go out to bid farewell. Before heading south, I had a conversation with Meng Huan.
When it comes to the relationship between father and daughter, Meng Huan has a lot to say to the elder brother, saying that his father would scold him all day long. No matter how hard he tried, he would not please me. Between the words, I was a little wronged.
I said that the big brother is your sister, and Meng You is still young. He can only pin the hope of the Tibetan Sword Villa on you. Although he is a little harsh on you on weekdays, he still cares about you very much in his heart. As the saying goes, your father and mother are kind, your mother went early. It is not easy for a big brother to raise you two. Sometimes, you have to be considerate of him.
Meng Huan was a little dissatisfied. Why did he love Meng You so much, but he still refuses to show off to me.
I was wrong. When you were away, the big brother talked about you with a look of pride and pride. Although the senior brother was angry about the King Qi’s order this time, he went to Beijing alone the next day. Has he ever complained about you
Hearing my words, the corners of Meng Huan's eyes were a little moist, took a deep breath, holding back the tears.
Three days later, I arrived in Wuxi and entered the rainy season. There was light rain for several days and the road was muddy and slippery. As I was about to enter the city, a carriage galloped past, splashing mud all over me.
I was furious and I was about to move forward when I saw a silver leaf whizzing down from the car and falling in front of me. I scolded, it's great to have money!
But on second thought, it's amazing to have money. Both Liu Qingfeng and I have the best martial arts in the world, and we are still poorer than two.
Picking it up or not picking it up is a problem.
This is a matter of face, this is a matter of dignity. I quickly calculated that Tao Yuanming didn't lose the waist for five buckets of rice back then, but now one bucket of rice is 300 liters, and five buckets of rice is 1,500 liters. There are at least three or two in this silver leaf. Bend over three taels of silver, which is equivalent to ten beans and rice. Just as I hesitated, a dirty hand stretched out, picked up the silver leaf, and took a bite. Haha Dao, made a fortune.
When I saw that this little baby was thirteen or fourteen years old, in dilapidated condition, he was actually a little beggar, so I said this buddy, this silver seemed to be given to me.
The little beggar was full of disdain, would you say that he would agree
I can tell. If I am unlucky, I will leave him if I ignore him. The little beggar followed me into Wuxi City, chattering behind me, are you also a beggar, are you going to participate in the Xingzilin Conference
I was upset in my heart, too lazy to care about you, holding Luhua, ignoring him. The little beggar is not forgiving. I plan to find an inn and change my clothes because my clothes are dirty now.
When I came to the inn, my buddy saw me covered in mud, followed by a little beggar singing the lotus flower, and said sorry, the shop was full. I said first prepare some wine and food for me.
Seeing us, the guy looked contemptuous and sneered. Our inn always pays first before ordering. Do you have enough money
I said to my heart that you are a dog looking at people, you are about to take out your silver from your arms and enjoy the pleasure of slapping your face. When I stretched my hand to the purse, the little beggar took out the silver leaf and patted it on On the table, said, I will treat this dinner.
The guy guessed that the little beggar was so dirty and smelly that he hated Dao, our shop is not a beggar for business! The little beggar furiously said, dog minion.
At this time, three neatly dressed people with a few sacks on their backs were about to enter the shop. When they saw the little beggar, they mocked and said, alas, this is not a scumbag of the dirty clothes faction. How can people come to eat like a dog? Up
Seeing this, the little beggar ridiculed that our dirty clothes pie was also given money to eat, and it was better than your pure clothes pie who was less shameless.
I heard that these three were also disciples of the Beggar Gang. The disciples of the beggar gang were all over the world, and it was once one of the eight big gangs. Later, when the old gang leader Hong went to immortality, the world beggar gang became a piece of loose sand, split into dozens of small gangs, distributed in various states, and could not afford anything anymore. Stormy. However, even if it splits, the struggle between the dirty clothes faction and the clean clothes faction has never stopped.
The guy saw the three of them, and said quickly, please come from the three of them objectively!
The three people entered the house, but did not sit down, took off the back pockets, put them on the table, and took out the Allegro from the inside.
Dude asked, what do you mean by this three
The leading three-bag disciples played Allegro and sang a piece of Shu Lai Bao. While singing, they shuttled in front of the crowd. The other two opened their pockets, meaning they would not give money or leave.
The innkeeper couldn't stand it anymore, he came out quickly, took ten copper coins, and handed them to the three beggars to help the disciples, saying that the little money was bought and sold by the three of them to drink tea.
One of them scolded, "Are you begging for food?"
The boss was surprised, isn't it just for the beggar
That's not okay, this three-bag elder who sings a lot of treasures, but we are a figure in Wuxi, who also won the rankings in Daming Good Sing back then, and the appearance fee is only ten taels of silver.
The innkeeper was impatient, and with a wave of his hand, seven or eight big men surrounded the three of them. Don't toast or eat fine wine.
Three bags of disciples received the Allegro, grabbed the ten cents, and had to take the two of them away. Just after three or four steps, they suddenly stopped, and took out two more cents from the ten cents and put them on the table.
Today we are celebrating the anniversary of the beggars, and the fee is 20% off!
