"Grandpa, according to that, our family's things are going to be sold to the imperial court at eighty percent of the market price?" Qian Dui asked.

"That's right, although it's eighty percent, but there is still a lot of money, and the amount is large, and the income will not be less than usual." Xuan Shijing said: "I ask you, what is the most important thing in doing business? ”

Qian Dui was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Integrity, reputation." ”

"That's right." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "Sometimes, interests are not paramount, after the business and the Ministry of Industry is completed, our Chamber of Commerce will go out to sell these materials, which are one percent lower than the market, and sell them out, this is the reputation." ”

"Ninety percent of the price for selling to someone else?" The money pile is puzzled: "Why is this?" ”

"Fame." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "Our materials are supplied to the imperial court, and the construction of a new palace is eighty percent of the market price, which cannot be hidden, many people will know, and then sell it to others after the supply is finished, ninety percent of the price, although it is less than one percent, but what we have earned is reputation." ”

Qian Dui listened to Xuan Shijing's words, thought about it carefully, and it seemed to make sense, as for what makes sense in this, maybe it will take some time to think about it, or perhaps, he won't think of the doorway until the day when the matter comes.

"Grandpa, do you say these businessmen, will you agree?" Qian Dui asked.

"Whether they agree or not, let's just cooperate with the Ministry of Industry, and also, not only the materials in Guanzhong, but also those who can be ordered farther, let's order a batch first." Xuan Shijing said: "As for those businessmen, they said that they would go back and sum it up, and they might not pay attention to it, but they just went to the backers behind them to ask, if the people behind them were greedy for the price of 20%, this matter would naturally not be possible, and if the people behind them were smart, this matter would be done." ”

"My subordinates understood." Qian Dui said: "If they come to you, you will insist on the price of eighty percent and don't let go, as for the Ministry of Industry, I don't know what is going on now, and I will not know until His Majesty has checked the people of the Ministry of Industry." ”

The money pile nodded.

"In this way, if there is nothing else to do, I will go back to Zhuangzi first, and if there is anything on your side, send someone to Zhuangzi to see me." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes." The money pile responded.

Xuan Shijing went downstairs and went to the backyard, his horse was in the backyard, and the little guy in Xuanwu Lou fed Xuan Shijing's horse some forage.

Now at this hour, I rushed back to Zhuangzi from Chang'an, it was just that the sun had just set, and things were going more smoothly and faster than Xuan Shijing imagined, but unexpectedly he had an extra job to supervise the construction of the new palace, as long as the household department and the Ministry of Industry were running normally, and there were no moths, he was also easy.

Riding a fast horse, I hurried back to Zhuangzi, just in time for dinner.

"My husband came back so late today, but he went far away?" When Xuan Shijing went back to the room to change clothes, he met Qin Bingyue, Qin Bingyue saw that Xuan Shijing was sweating profusely, and stepped forward to take out a handkerchief to help Xuan Shijing wipe his sweat.

"Well, I went to Chang'an." Xuan Shijing said: "Our family has some business to do with the imperial court, and there is a little mistake, so Your Majesty sent someone to summon me in Zhuangzi to discuss this matter. ”

"Husband, let's go back to the room and change into clean clothes first, the sun will go down in a while, and the sky will be cold, husband, don't catch a cold." Qin Bingyue reminded.

Xuan Shijing nodded and went back to the room with Qin Bingyue.

Whether the business is profitable or lost, Qin Bingyue doesn't care, but she is worried about Xuan Shijing, what kind of business can make His Majesty summon his husband into the palace in such a hurry.

It's just that this is a major matter of the court, Xuan Shijing doesn't take the initiative to mention it, and Qin Bingyue won't ask, she is different from Jinyang, Jinyang can help with the affairs of the court, but she can't help.

It wasn't until the dinner table that Xuan Shijing talked about entering the palace today to discuss with His Majesty Li Er.

"In this case, Your Majesty wants you to supervise the construction of the new palace." Wang frowned and said, "This is not a trivial matter. ”

"Yes, attacking Goguryeo is easier than this, and all the aspects involved in building a new palace are too complicated." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "The best way is to stay in Zhuangzi for the time being, and occasionally go to Longshouyuan for a walk, as for the household department and the Ministry of Industry, I don't plan to interfere, but if something goes wrong, I can't blame me for dealing with it ruthlessly, if they don't make trouble, between me and them, there is nothing to do, if they don't know what to do, then they can only do business." ”

"What my father meant was that he wanted his husband to let go and do it, but if something like the Ministry of Industry really happened in the past two days, he would be able to do it cleanly and finish the matter before the people behind him were involved." Jin Yang said.

"It's easy to say, how easy it is, once interests are involved, those nobles who look like Mianyang on weekdays will show their fangs and tear for the sake of interests." Xuan Shijing said: "Anyway, the construction of the new palace is already a sure thing, no matter what, it will be carried out, let's go straight to the bridge, there is nothing else to do in the past two days, I have to go to the academy in the afternoon to listen to the lectures of the two gentlemen." ”

Regarding Xuan Shijing's situation, the Wang family probably guessed something, after all, he had experienced it himself back then, and it was not bad for his son to use this method to calm himself, at least he didn't have to do anything drastic.

Speaking of which, Xuan Shijing has been fighting since he was a child, which makes the Wang family worry-free....... Except for the poisoning.

Recently, there have been a lot of outsiders in Zhuangzi, most of them are literati who are reading, wandering in the Zhuangzi market, or hiring a boat on Dongshan Lake to play and enjoy the scenery on the lake, and even going to the gate of Mingde Academy, looking into the academy.

During the day, when the academy was in class, the door was closed, only the side door was open, and they stood at the door of the side door, originally wanting to enter the academy, but they were stopped by the academy's gatehouse.

Centennial College is not open to the public, so even these literati cannot enter.

If the Mingde Academy is open to the outside world, then the scholars in Chang'an City are not allowed to break the threshold of the academy, how can they read and lecture with peace of mind?

There are many people who are turned away by the concierge, but no one dares to make trouble in Dongshan County.

Although the 500 soldiers of Dongshan County have been transferred, there are still many guards on the Xuan Shijing Mansion patrolling various places in Dongshan County, and in a few days, the Jinyi guards on the Liaodong side will also return to Zhuangzi and stay on Zhuangzi as Xuan Shijing's guards, replacing the previous 500 soldiers and responsible for the security of Zhuangzi.
