Chapter 186: Making money requires brains (correct version)
"What about this matter..." Liu Chengfeng raised his feet, leaned on the seat, and narrowed his eyes, looking like he was weighing the pros and cons.
The uncles Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling were looking at him closely at this moment, for fear that he would not agree.
Speaking of which, this pair of brothers really don't have much wisdom. They are no different from the dandy kids on the street. On the surface, they have a noble status, but their lives may not be easy. For example, two or three years ago, this pair of brothers embezzled fertile farmland in the suburbs of Beijing.
, This was done not only because of greed, but also because the family had a lot of expenses and could not make ends meet. The original plan was to acquire a dozen pieces of land, but who knew it fell into Xiao Jing's hands, and Xiao Jing took them away directly.
This matter is still settled.
From then on, the pair of uncles gave up their plans to go to the fields and did not take the opportunity to retaliate against Xiao Jing. However, even if they took revenge, using Xiao Jing's methods to play with them was just like playing games?
In the final analysis, these two people are not incompetent, nor are they not noble enough, they are just stupid. At this time, seeing Liu Chengfeng being so arrogant, smoke was coming out of his throat, and a trace of desire flashed in his eyes.
Liu Chengfeng said calmly: "I have to think about the long-term plan, but I am really too sleepy and have to take a nap. When I wake up, we will discuss Shouning Hou. The Queen has already said that all households should
It has been verified here that you indeed have nothing to do with the rebels. From now on, you can go back to your hometown and don’t cause any more trouble or hang out with those rebels."
Liu Chengfeng paused for a moment, then said solemnly: "Do you know who these rebels are? These are the criminals arrested by His Majesty's secret decree. Your Majesty is very concerned about this matter. Why? Because these people are
How dare you protect someone who wants to overthrow the country? If the situation gets too deep, the Queen may not be able to protect you."
Liu Chengfeng spoke in a stern voice, and Zhang Heling was also startled. It turned out that this matter had something to do with His Majesty. He originally thought that this was just a trick played by the Jin Yiwei to persecute people. When Jin Yiwei used to persecute people, didn't they usually accuse them of being traitors to the party?
It’s not like Tian Xuan was a rebel, but now that he says it, he’s a little scared. Although His Majesty may not punish him, but if he is really involved too much with Tian Xuanzi, although he won’t be beheaded, he will be stripped of his title, and he will be imprisoned.
It's not impossible
Zhang Yanling deliberately turned to Zhang Heling with a serious face and said: "Brother Liu Baihu, you are so cruel. I have long said that Tian Xuanzi is not a good person. What good will happen to you if you hang out with him?"
If we find out in Liu Baihu in time, you and my brother will not be overshadowed by others."
Zhang Heling's old face was red. He knew clearly that Zhang Yanling was going to sing the oboe, but he felt a thorn in his heart. He wanted to refute, but felt weak, so he could only nod his head and said: "Yes, yes, I know I was wrong."
Zhu Houzhao was also a little sleepy. He laughed and said: "I am also tired. Now go back to sleep. Liu Banban, we will also go back to the East Palace."
Liu Jin smiled and said: "Yes"
It was not easy for the two uncles to stay. Zhang Yanling finally took Liu Chengfeng's hand and said: "Whenever you make up your mind about business matters, you must let people know in time. As for your debts, we can also raise them."
One or two, how many days of grace?”
Liu Chengfeng smiled bitterly. At this time, he just wanted to sleep. How could he have the time to pay attention to them? He said: "I will give you an answer tomorrow, and I will send it to you not far away."
Although it was not far away, he still sent them out. He couldn't help but tell Zhu Houzhao to study hard and practice calligraphy when he went back. He would have to take the exam in a few days, otherwise he would not be able to get a share in this business.
Zhu Houzhao agreed and yawned again and again and left.
The pair of uncles looked at Liu Chengfeng with resentment, which made Liu Chengfeng shudder involuntarily and ran away.
It was just after noon at this time. Liu Chengfeng asked someone to set up a bamboo couch in the garden hall in the backyard of this hundred households to sleep on. After staying up all night for so long, it was not that his body could not bear it at such a young age, but he had a problem
Feeling exhausted from body to heart, I put my head on the pillow and fell asleep in a daze.
It was a very sweet sleep, but it was already late at night when he woke up. Liu Chengfeng originally wanted to take a nap in Baihusuo before going home to sleep. Who knew that this sleep was too long, so
As for him sitting up in the middle of the night, the captain on night duty heard the noise, came in quickly, lit the lamp, and said to Liu Chengfeng: "Sir, I originally wanted to wake you up, but I only called you a few times. You are all sleeping soundly. Wang Si
The official said, let me just let you sleep here as long as you can. Official Wang is also on duty tonight and is working in the signing room."
Liu Chengfeng nodded, walked out of the flower hall, and went to the custody room under the bright moonlight. In the custody room, the oil lamp was slowly burning. Secretary Wang was crouching behind the case, checking over and over again the confessions obtained during the interrogation over the past few days.
Seeing Liu Chengfeng coming, Secretary Wang quickly stood up and said, "My lord, I'm awake. Let's go get a cup of tea."
Liu Chengfeng pressed his hands and said: "No, I'm not thirsty." After saying that, his eyes fell on the plate of pastries on Wang Sili's case. He must have prepared it for staying up late. He couldn't help but smile: "I'm a little hungry, Wang Si."
The official smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite, you can eat whatever you want. My mother-in-law made this and it tastes pretty good."
Liu Chengfeng tasted a piece. Naturally, the taste couldn't be compared with that of later generations, but in this era, it was better than the ones on the street. He couldn't help but praise: "It's delicious."
Official Wang simply put down his official duties and chatted with Liu Chengfeng. Naturally, the topic he talked about was the Mingjiao case. Liu Chengfeng no longer had much interest in this case. In fact, he already understood that even Xuanzi could not say that that day.
Revealing too much information, let alone those disciples and grandchildren?
Liu Chengfeng laughed and said with a smile: "His Majesty's favor will come out in the next few days. This time, Wang Sili has made the first contribution. Chen Hongyu, Lao Huo and I have also reported it, and all the guards have it."
Increase the reward, this time, it is estimated that Wang Sili will at least be able to get an official position."
Secretary Wang couldn't help but laugh and said: "Thank you for your cultivation." He was born in someone else's family, but ended up working as a clerk in Jinyiwei. He was still far from being an official. Who knew that this opportunity would come by chance, so he was naturally excited.
Liu Chengfeng saw that Secretary Wang wanted to do something, so he stopped talking and went back to sleep without disturbing Secretary Wang again.
One night passed, and early in the morning, Liu Chengfeng asked someone to go back and report to the government. The general idea was that the Baihu Office had discovered a major case in the past few days and was too busy to get away. He meant to reassure the family that he had just called someone.
After sending them out, Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling came again. Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but smile bitterly. It turned out that these uncles were leprous, and they were both eight feet thick.
Liu Chengfeng had no choice but to say to them: "It's okay if you want to form a partnership, but the two of you can only occupy one part of the business. I'll give you the principal of one thousand taels of silver."
10%... There are still two people. This is indeed a little less. Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but something is better than nothing. Thinking of His Highness Taizuozi's arrogance in casually taking out five thousand taels of silver, they have long been jealous.
Had to stay up all night
Zhang Heling couldn't help asking: "I just don't know what Liu Baihu's business is?"
Seeing that it was still early, Liu Chengfeng cheered up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see something."
He was going to the stable to pick up the horse, but Zhang Yanling said enthusiastically: "Take our car, take our car."
Liu Chengfeng said in his heart that if you don't sit there, you won't get a seat. Although this horse doesn't burn oil, taking it out for a walk will always be a waste of grass. The sun is rising, and raising a horse is enough to feed two people, so he and this horse
A pair of uncles were riding in the same car and said directly to the groom: "Go to Yingchunfang Pier."
The carriage of the Marquis Mansion is naturally very comfortable. This noble man pays attention to his face when he goes out. No matter how hard he makes ends meet, the driving is excellent. In addition, it is early in the morning and the passers-by are not very good. He only has a cup of tea.
, the carriage arrived at Yingchunfang Pier at a fast speed. Liu Chengfeng and his two uncles got out of the carriage, and then pointed towards a large house under construction near the pier, and said: "This is our business."
This big house covers an area of hundreds of acres, but it is not small. Next to the big house is the canal and the dock. Opposite are numerous shops, and next to it are the warehouses on the south bank of the dock. The location is good. After passing this house,
Xiu Rong now has a bit of grandeur and elegance, and is as generous as the houses of wealthy families in the capital.
But Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling both looked at each other. How can they make money from a house like this? Can such a house make a lot of money every day? Is Liu Chengfeng trying to fool us brothers?
Zhang Heling couldn't help but ask: "May I ask Liu Baihu, what is the purpose of this house?"
Liu Chengfeng did not hide anything from them and said: "Tea shop"
"Tea shop..."
Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling were shocked. The tea shop... also cost five thousand taels in principal. Such a big price is only for people to drink tea? Is this really unreasonable? How much money can this tea shop make?
Liu Chengfeng saw that their faces were not very good, so he chuckled and said, "What, do you two have anything to say?"
Zhang Yanling smiled bitterly and said: "Liu Baihu, the best tea shop in the capital, may not be able to earn a thousand taels of silver a month. Liu Baihu runs a tea shop, but..."
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but said: "Then what do you think we should do?"
Zhang Heling cheered up and said very expertly: "In my opinion, if you want to run a tea shop, it is better to hire some girls in this tea shop. This matter will be easier to handle. I know some people in Jiangnan. I can call the local guard eunuch."
Invite some girls, and I guarantee that they will all be as beautiful as flowers and jade, and as tender as water."
Liu Chengfeng's expression changed a little. Your brother is playing with elegance, but you are playing with vulgarity. You have turned the tea shop into a brothel, and you still speak so arrogantly. You really have incorrect views.
Liu Chengfeng said: "What I play is the tea shop. Come on, follow me in and walk around to open your eyes."
Brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling had no choice but to follow Liu Chengfeng in with a little suspicion. To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian◤Qidian◢ to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest support.
