On the day of the first month, the Shen Yuan Star Picking Tower, which had been silent for a long time, opened again, and the news that Shen Zhezi, the commander of the horses, was going to feast guests in the Star Picking Tower, soon spread all over the capital.

As soon as they got the news, families in the capital came one after another, and soon there were cars parked in front of Shen Yuan. It's just that there are already hundreds of guards guarding the gate of this manor, and no one is allowed in.

"This one is the son of Guangling Dai Servant Shooting Mansion, and he has always been a guest on the pony seat, how dare you soldiers block the way? Don't hurry up yet! ”

Directly in front of the gate of the manor, a first-arrived slave holding a name card in his hand, and shouted to the guard guarding the door.

The guards were in strict formation, just standing in place, and did not step forward to answer, as if they had not heard. This made the slave a little embarrassed, and he shouted again but still couldn't respond, and he was about to push and shove in a hurry. But as soon as he took two steps forward, the statue-like guards suddenly drew their weapons, and their bright blades pointed straight ahead, instantly shocking the big slave on the spot!

"Come back!"

A young man on the ox cart walked down slowly, drinking off his own slave who was in a dilemma, and was turned away in front of everyone, and the young man's mood can be imagined. He took a few steps forward and stood in front of the manor, his eyes crossed the crowd of soldiers and fell behind the door, and he said in a condensed voice: "Guangling Dai Mingxue, Gu Li came to see the horse, but he didn't know that the door was difficult to enter, it turned out that I was abrupt." ”

When the people around heard this, their expressions changed slightly, and then they talked in a low voice with their acquaintances.

The two brothers, Guangling Dai Yuan and Dai Miao, are both famous people of the time, and have successively served as Shangshu servants, and this young man is Dai Miao's youngest son Dai Shen Dai Mingxue, and he is also a well-known nobleman in the capital, but they were all turned away!

For a while, the mood of these visitors became complicated, most of their family backgrounds were inferior to Dai Shen, and they couldn't help but feel ashamed and lost, and at the same time they were a little curious, wanting to inquire about who the horses were going to invite in the garden and what to discuss.

It took a while for that Dai Ming to choose his family background, and there was a reaction in the garden, and a middle-aged man walked out of the manor, it was Ren Qiu, the family commander of the eldest princess's mansion.

Because of this ministry, Ren Qiu's popularity and popularity in the capital are even higher than that of Shen Zhezi. As soon as he appeared behind the door, he immediately attracted the eyes of his surroundings.

"I was listening to the hospitality of my lord Lang at the beginning, but I didn't know that Lang Jun was coming, it was really rude, and I asked Lang Jun to forgive me."

After Ren Qiu went out, he went straight to Dai Shen, who was standing in front of the door, and bowed his hand as a courtesy.

Seeing that he had already reported his name, the other party still did not greet him personally, but just sent a retainer to receive him, and Dai Shen's mood was inevitably a little worse. If he changed to another court, he was afraid that he would have to leave immediately.

But right now, even if there is dissatisfaction in his heart, he can only hold it, bow his head back, and say in a deep voice: "I didn't come uninvited, and Mr. Ren doesn't have to be polite." It's just that I haven't seen the horse for a long time, and when I heard that the horse has returned to the capital, I came in a hurry, but I didn't know that there were guests in the house. ”

At this point, it is good to invite or not, and welcoming people into the door can be regarded as a full courtesy. However, Ren Qiu smiled apologetically: "Lang Jun can understand, that's the best." Later, I will tell my lord Lang to prepare a family banquet in the future, and then ask Lang Jun to come over to the house to apologize. ”

Hearing this, the onlookers talked even more. And that Dai Shen's face suddenly became gloomy, it is true that the horse is full of guests, is he just doing nothing all day long, waiting for others to invite again? He has already made a name for himself, and he is even tolerant, although the other party's words are good, but in the end, it is not to turn him away!

Dai Shen's face was gloomy, and he was still thinking about how to ridicule the other party's high and difficult to enter, but there was a sudden commotion from behind, and when he turned his head to follow the prestige, he saw a beautiful Chinese car driving over surrounded by several squad swords.

"It's the king of the East China Sea......"

Seeing this recognizable car, some people already recognized the identity of the comer, and they didn't dare to block the road, so they asked their families to move the car away, and they also avoided both sides of the road.

Soon, the car drove unimpeded to the front of the manor, and the king of the East China Sea, who was wearing plain white clothes, got out of the car with the support of two maids, his eyes swept over the field, and then fell on Ren Qiu, and said with a smile: "Shen Yuan opens the door, Wei Zhou banquet guest, I said that I already got the news first, but I didn't expect it to be late." ”

Although Dai Shen was not in a good mood, he did not dare to be arrogant in front of the King of the East China Sea, so he stepped forward and saluted: "Xiaomin Dai Mingxue, see the king." ”

Ren Qiu also stepped forward to salute, the King of the East China Sea smiled and nodded, pointed at Dai Shen and said: "I often hear the servant shoot boasting about Xiaolang Qingjun, but I have never had time to see it, I don't want to meet it in front of Wei Zhou's house today, Ling Zun is not lying, he is indeed an excellent Langjun." In that case, let's go together. ”

When Dai Shen heard this, he glanced at Ren Qiu next to him, and his tone was a little resentful: "Thank you for the king's praise, but Xiaomin is deserved." is a dull talent, unbearable to enter the house, and has no honor to accompany the king. ”

Hearing the young man's resentful words, the King of the East China Sea couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then looked at Ren Qiu and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Ren Qiu smiled awkwardly, bowed his head and said: "My lord Lang has been busy with his work recently, and today he also took the time to get together with a group of colleagues, but I didn't know that I was visiting from the middle of the city, and I was a little negligent in answering......"

After hearing this, the King of the East China Sea pondered for a moment, and then nodded slowly: "So that's the case, I also know that Wei Zhou has been tired recently, and I came to get together after learning that he returned to the garden." Alas, idlers like me have the most free time, and it doesn't have to be today. Well, if that's the case, then I won't bother anymore. ”

As he spoke, the King of the East China Sea had already turned around, and when he looked at Dai Shen again, his tone became a little heavier: "The so-called guest is the convenience of the master, which is also the common sense of communicating with people. The horses are the most hospitable in the capital, and they have always had nothing to do with the virtuous and foolish. It's just that now that he has taken up the job, it is somewhat inconvenient. Because of people's old names, slandering the present, that is not the way of hospitality! ”

This has been said more seriously, Dai Shen couldn't help but sweat welled up on his forehead, knowing that if it was spread, he was afraid that no one would dare to invite him to the door in the future, so he hurriedly bowed down and said: "The king's teachings, the people will not forget......

When he raised his head again, the king of the East Sea had already boarded the car and returned the same way, and he no longer responded. Hearing the whispering discussions around him, Dai Shen couldn't help but feel more bitter in his heart, and turned his eyes to Ren Qiu and whispered, "Brother Ren......"

Ren Qiu sighed in his heart, stepped forward and took Dai Shen's hand and said with a smile: "Although Lang Jun and I have a love contract, we have always been used to joking. It's a pity that I can't treat Lang Jun today. Even if Lang Jun has resentment, then I can only be ashamed! In the future, I am willing to be a pioneer and get drunk on the Qinhuai River. ”

When everyone around heard this, they all laughed, and Dai Shen didn't dare to say more, just saluted Ren Qiu, turned around and boarded the car.

This scene at the gate of the manor has already fallen in the eyes of everyone on the third floor of the Star Picking Building. They couldn't hear what everyone was talking about, but they saw the King of the East Sea stop in front of the door for a moment and then turn around and leave, unable to enter the door, which brought a lot of shock to everyone's hearts.

At this time, more than a dozen people on this floor were the first batch of people to join the Wuzhong Business Alliance, and they gathered here today, and it was Shen Zhezi who came forward to invite them to discuss the construction of the palace.

Most of these people are from Wuxing Township, but they know that the Shen family is powerful, but to what extent, they don't have a specific concept. After seeing this scene, I was surprised and my mood became hot.

"I know that the name of the horse is important at the moment, and as I see today, the door is opened, and the guests are like gathering! In the future, in Jiangdong, who dares to say that there is no one in Wuzhong! ”

A middle-aged man in the banquet stroked his palms and laughed, this person's name is Lu Chong, he is a native of Wuxing County, he has always been friendly with the Shen family, and he is also the representative of the Lu family in the business alliance.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh heartily. Wu Xing has never looked at people's homes, and although they are rich villagers, once they leave their hometowns, they will be more or less looked down upon. Today, they sit in the middle of the building, but they see that the so-called celebrities in the capital are blocked from the door, and the pleasure brought by the change of opportunity is really not enough for outsiders, but can be remembered for a long time.

However, after laughing, another old man, Wu Cheng Qiu Cheng, frowned and said, "We are all villagers, and we can discuss everything on a later date." Today's horses are full of distinguished guests, and we really shouldn't bother, so please ...... the horses."

Shen Zhezi smiled and waved his hand, signaling everyone to return to the table: "When the villagers come home, they should be treated kindly." Besides, the things we are discussing today are all matters of state. Those useless idlers, a lot of idle time, it doesn't matter if you see it or not. You may be seated, and we will continue our previous discussions. ”

When everyone heard Shen Zhezi say this, they all sat down one after another, but when they thought of the previous incident, they couldn't help but frown. Through this incident, the mystery of those so-called celebrities in their minds has disappeared.

It turns out that those celebrities who are above the top are no different from them, and once they visit a more prestigious family, they will still be turned away.

After everyone's mood calmed down, Shen Zhezi spread out a picture scroll and continued: "Yesterday, Taichang will make a specific project for the construction of the palace garden, and I will send it to you later, the amount of work has been divided into more than ten parts, priorities, you choose according to your ability." I'll talk to you about this later. ”

The renovation of the palace is the opening project for the construction of the new capital, and Shen Zhezi must of course hand it over to the closest township party. Although the imperial court has no money, it has people, land, and policies. As for the mode of cooperation, the Wuzhong family paid for the construction of workshops in the places specified by the imperial court, and then rented servants to work for the refugees in the capital to provide materials for the project.

In this process, the commission of the refugees, the supply of raw materials, and the tax money of the workshop can all bring income to the imperial court. Then the imperial court used this part of the income to pay for materials.

For the Wuzhong family, they had to provide sufficient money and grain costs, and the materials were sold to the imperial court at market prices to make a profit.

Of course, it is difficult to achieve a balance between the goods of this part of the interaction, and the part of the income of the imperial court is not enough to fully cover the payment. So there are many other options besides paying the money directly.
