Chapter 203: Delayed?

The summer in Chang'an City is not very difficult, although the temperature is not low, but as long as it is not under the sun, it is actually relatively comfortable.

Unlike Lingnan, at this time, no matter where it is, it is hot and sultry.

It's just that knowing that lying on the plane tree keeps making hoarse sounds, it makes people feel irritated.

"Whew!"

Deng Feng took a long breath after listening to the news that his subordinates had just inquired about from outside.

"It turns out that the construction progress of the new palace is delayed, no wonder they are not in a hurry to come to buy giant trees for themselves."

Since the construction of the new palace began, there are guards from the Chu Palace's palace on the scene, and idle people are not allowed to enter and exit, even if it is a construction craftsman, they all live in the shack built next to the site, don't think about it before the construction is completed.

Therefore, the construction of the new palace is actually not much for outsiders to grasp.

I know that every day a wagon of gravel, sand and other things are brought in from the outside.

However, after such a long time, looking at the place of the new palace from a distance, there are still almost no buildings at all, so naturally, there are all kinds of rumors.

"Brother Guo, you can rest assured now, right?"

Deng Feng glanced at Guo Yang across the table, and a smile appeared on his face.

During this time, Guo Yang had to go to his house almost every day, constantly asking whether to stop buying giant trees.

They are not the only smart people in Chang'an City, and when the others saw that the giant wood market was so good, they naturally increased their transportation efforts.

Every day, a steady stream of timber enters Chang'an, and Deng Feng and Guo Yang are buying almost everything they have, and the purchase price is obviously several percent higher than in previous years.

If all goes well, of course all the costs will be paid for.

However, if something happens, although these giant trees are not useless, it will be difficult to sell them at a high price.

The net worth that the Deng family and the Guo family have accumulated after decades of hard work is estimated to be wiped out.

"What a delay? That's good, that's good. Guo Yang breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still a little entangled, "I don't have any money in my house anymore, this ...... I really can't afford to continue to buy, I heard that there was another batch of timber in the West Market yesterday, although it is not the kind of rare giant wood, but it is also some good wood, do you want to collect it again? ”

After listening to Guo Yang's words, Deng Feng was also very entangled.

"I'll go to the Hou Mansion again and see if I can get another amount of money back."

……

In the imperial study, Li Shimin looked at the books of impeachment against Li Kuan, and looked helpless.

"Li Zhong, is the construction of the new palace really delayed?"

Although he promised not to interfere with Li Kuan's construction of the new palace again, seeing that a few months had passed and not a single palace had yet to be built, Li Shimin also beat a drum in his heart.

This Li Kuan, he won't be pitied, right?

"Your Majesty, Weichen has asked Yan Wenwen many times, and he said that everything is going well. This delay is ......"

"All the best? So why do these imperial histories say that the new palace has not even begun to be built? He also said that he would be a prisoner and an abusive person, and did not play a role in supervising the construction of the new palace at all? ”

Li Shimin has been to Xuanwumen a few times recently, and he has seen the situation in the Xingong from a distance on the city tower, and it seems that many people are busy there, could it be that those people are doing something there?

What's the picture?

I don't understand!

"Your Majesty, since these imperial historians are worried about the delay in the construction of the new palace, why don't you just let them go inside and see what the situation is, so that Your Majesty will have confidence in his heart."

Li Zhong felt that he should not drill into this pit.

Whoever raises the problem, who solves it himself.

"That's fine, then let them see."

……

Wang Fugui has been very busy lately.

Every day, he has to go to several workshops to inspect the preparation of materials, and also discuss with some outside merchants about the materials to buy.

So much so that Wang Fugui's mansion was full of businessmen from all over the world lining up to visit there all day and night.

Speaking of visiting, everyone naturally knows what these people's intentions are.

Wang Fugui is not stupid, but he will not do the kind of thing of picking up sesame seeds and throwing watermelons, so almost none of these merchants who came to visit Wang Fugui's mansion saw him.

However, today, a group of merchants received Wang Fugui's invitation and took the initiative to invite them to the mansion for a banquet.

Could it be that this king's shopkeeper has finally figured it out?

What kind of gifts should I prepare?

Isn't it an opportunity?

Various businesses are thinking about the purpose behind this banquet.

"Shopkeeper Chen, if it's good, it's gone!"

"Shopkeeper Guo, you're here too!"

"Shopkeeper Liu, I heard that you went to Dengzhou, but I didn't expect to see you today."

"Yo, Ashina, what kind of wind blew you over?"

"Shopkeeper Jin, you're a rare guest."

On Wang Fugui's mansion, it was close to noon, and all the merchants basically arrived.

Chang'an City is huge, but Chang'an City is also very small.

The merchants invited by Wang Fugui are basically businessmen related to building materials, and many of these people are friends and competitors on weekdays, even if they don't know each other, they have heard of each other.

Now everyone suddenly gathered here, all smiling, but they didn't know what to think about to say hello.

"Shopkeeper Wang!"

"The king is in charge!"

"Brother Wang!"

After a while, Wang Fugui, the host of the banquet, also appeared, and these businessmen, who had been on an equal footing with him before, and even some merchants who were even richer than him, stood up and greeted him one after another.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

Wang Fugui saw that the people he invited were almost all gone, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

I gave up my original business and threw myself into the door of the Chu Palace, this move is really the right move.

"Everyone, gossip is a little, everyone is a quarter of an hour worth hundreds of dollars, I won't waste everyone's time, let's talk about today's purpose first."

Naturally, the theme of today's gathering will not be eating, and no one is rushing to eat.

"The construction of the new palace is in full swing, and everyone must know about it. I invite you to come here today for the construction of the new palace. Because of the needs of construction, the city and the Governor's Office need to purchase a large number of materials, and the quantity of some things is insufficient, so there is today's meeting. ”

Sure enough, the construction of the new palace was delayed.

Guo Yang and Deng Feng glanced at each other and smiled knowingly.

And Ashina's performance was similar, feeling that the opportunity he had been waiting for for so long was finally coming.

I'm so excited.

Do you want to raise the price a little more later?

Is it better to go up by 10% or by 20%?

As soon as Wang Fugui's words fell, the businessmen in the room showed expectant expressions, and many people were secretly surprised.

After waiting for so long, it's finally time for this feast, right?
