Meng Huan looked at Senior Brother Meng with a grievance, and seemed a little dissatisfied. He said, "Dad, you ask your daughter to manage the villa business. I also worked hard day and night. It took a lot of effort to get this business. Why do you say I'm messing around?"

Senior Brother Meng looked at Meng Huan, looked at me again, and sighed.

Meng Huan negotiated a big business with the Qi Prince's Mansion this time, and anyone with a discerning eye could see the problem, but she did not realize the danger at all.

Brother Meng was not convenient to talk about this, so I had to persuade her. After thinking for a while, I said that there are so many blacksmiths in the world, and there are also official businesses. Logically speaking, Zangjian Villa is not good at making bows, arrows and spears, so why did we take this order?

Meng Huan said unconvincedly that in order to win this order, I visited the manager of the Qi Palace for no more than ten times, spent thousands of taels of silver, and stood out from more than a dozen businesses. I paid so much, but you said I was making a fool of myself!

Senior Brother Meng had no choice but to smile bitterly, and he said earnestly, what does it mean by a cluster of 100,000 arrows, ten thousand bows, three thousand saddles, fifty thousand spears, and fifty thousand swords?

Meng Huan said it means 180,000 taels of silver.

I advised me, "You are a businessman, and you see it is 180,000 taels of silver." As a bystander, I saw 10,000 archers, 50,000 infantry, and 3,000 cavalry."

What's the meaning?

I continued, according to the Ming army system, the vassal kings' military forces shall not exceed 2,000. Although the emperor agreed to expand the military forces of the government in the sixth year of Xitai, it was limited to 5,000 people. Now the emperor was in charge of the Xuanfu and led the army to fight against the Northern Zhou Dynasty. However, the King of Qi took advantage of this opportunity to recruit soldiers and horses. The King of Qi clearly wrote a big anti-word on his forehead. You are the top leader of Zangjian Villa, why don’t you even have this awareness?

Meng Huan realized the seriousness of the problem. At that time, the Qi Palace said that the military needs were purchased by the imperial court. I also wondered why the arsenal was involved in bidding in the future. It turned out that this relationship was still there!

I said this is not the key to the problem. King Qi is the younger brother of the current saint. If the saint is over, I mean, if there is a three-digit or two-digit shortcoming in the northern border, who will be the first beneficiary?

Meng Huan said that the capital is now dominated by the crown prince, and of course the crown prince inherits the throne.

Senior Brother Meng said you are confused. The prince is not full of wings now, and in order to prevent the prince from scheming, the emperor sets up many obstacles for him in the court. The King of Qi is in Shandong, Jizhong, and according to your order, he must be equipped with at least 50,000 troops. Shandong, Jizhong is the capital guard. If there is really a turmoil, what do you think?

Meng Huan was speechless.

I said again, what if the King of Qi had evidence to prove that His Highness the Crown Prince was not the emperor's biological son?

Meng Huan's face was pale and said that the world would inevitably fall into a melee.

Senior Brother Meng said sorry, daughter, you are unmatched in business, but you lack a certain degree of sensitivity to politics. The signing of this contract is like pushing our Zangjian Villa into the crater.

Meng Huan didn't expect that things would be so serious. After all, they were young people and they were suddenly panicked. But after the contract was signed, what should we do?

Senior Brother Meng thought for a moment and pondered, since he had signed the contract, his current plan is to drag the order, delay the delivery of work or not start work, even if the contract is breached, he will only pay some money.

Meng Huan's face was extremely embarrassing. I stepped forward and comforted him, "You are still young, and you can't blame you completely. It's better to follow your father's arrangements. Senior Brother Meng reached out to tear the contract into pieces and said, "No one can mention this matter anymore, just pretend that it has never happened."

Meng Huan said that according to the contract, we will deliver the first batch of goods in three months.

Senior Brother Meng said coldly, the first batch of goods must have iron ore. Now that we have a bad relationship with Murong Villa, we say that we can no longer buy iron ore. Moreover, the government is tightly investigating the private sale of salt and iron, and the price of iron ore has increased sharply. If the other party really asks, we will say that we are raw materials.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) There is a problem with the supply of materials, and at most you can pay tens of thousands of taels of liquidated damages.

Meng Huan looked annoyed and asked Senior Brother Meng what he planned next. Senior Brother Meng said, "I'm going to go to the capital now, with the plan."

Beijing? Meng Huanqi and I shouted.

Senior Brother Meng said, I must not resolve the trouble you caused. Fortunately, my father and I have some friends in the capital, and some things can be explained clearly to them.

I asked my friend, "I'm talking so well, do you want me to find someone to clear the relationship?" The King of Qi and the prince's sect were as powerful as water and fire. I thought it was really not possible, but I asked Meng Yue and Zhu Runze to explain the matter clearly. Even if there is something wrong in the future, there will be an extra barrier.

Senior Brother Meng said, Senior Brother, I have no ability. The only blessing is to have a good master, and our master has several good disciples.

I wondered what it means.

Senior Brother Meng, I went to the capital this time, but I was shameless but begged your third senior brother for help.

In addition to me, Sansu accepted three apprentices. In addition to the eldest brother, the second brother was sent to the end of the chicken and was the director of the Sixth Department of the Wenyuan, and was the number one assassin in the world. However, I have never met the third brother, and I have never heard the two brothers mention it.

So he asked, "The third senior brother is also in the capital now? Why have you never heard the Three Voices mention it?"

Senior Brother Meng smiled and said, "If the master doesn't say it, he will naturally have his intentions."

This confused me a little. Sansu did accept several disciples, but he seemed not very patient with his disciples. Senior brother Meng Tiechong, Sansu only taught a few iron-making techniques, but achieved the prosperity of Cangjian Villa. Second Senior brother sent the chicken to the end, and it is said that Sansu taught him a sword and became the number one assassin in the world. Third Senior Brother, I was reluctant to go and I never knew who the sacred was. I continued to ask Senior Brother, but he just smiled.

The next day, Senior Brother Meng explained some things, brought a sword and a housekeeper, and headed to the capital, handed over all the affairs of Zangjian Villa to Meng Huan. Before leaving, Senior Brother gave me 200 taels of silver for money. I played with Meng You in Zangjian Villa for a day. Meng You insisted on going to Putuo with me. After all, he promised to come back to see her in a few months. The little guy gave up.

After the order for the Qi Prince's Mansion, Meng Huan locked himself in the house and refused to go out for several days. Even the senior brother did not come out to see him off before leaving. Before going south, I had a conversation with Meng Huan.

When it comes to father-daughter relationship, Meng Huan said that his father would scold me all day long, and no matter how hard he worked, he would dislike me. He felt a little aggrieved in his words.

I said that the elder brother is only your sisters, Meng You is still young, so he can only place his hopes on Zangjian Villa on you. Although he is a little harsh on you on weekdays, he still cares about you very much. As the saying goes, a strict father and a kind mother, your mother left early, and it is not easy for the elder brother to raise you two into adulthood. Sometimes, you have to understand him.

Meng Huan was a little dissatisfied. Why did he love Meng You so much, but he never wanted to pretend to be dissatisfied with me?

I was wrong. When you were away, the eldest brother talked about you with pride and pride. Although the eldest brother was angry about the order of King Qi, he went to Beijing alone the next day. Have you ever blamed you?

After listening to my words, Meng Huan's eyes were a little wet. She took a deep breath and held back her tears.

Three days later, I arrived in Wuxi and entered the plum rainy season. It was drizzling for several days, and the road was muddy and slippery. Just as I was about to enter the city, a carriage galloped past, splashing my mud.

I was furious and was about to move forward to argue, but I saw a silver leaf thrown from the car and landed in front of me. I scolded, "It's so great to have money!"

But then I thought about it, it was really amazing to have money. Liu Qingfeng and I are the best martial arts in the world, but we are still poorer than two.

Picking up or not is a problem.

This is a matter of face, this is a matter of dignity. I quickly thought in my mind that back then

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Tao Yuanming did not bow his waist for five dou of rice. Now a dou of rice is 300, and a dou of rice is 1,500. This silver leaf is at least three taels. Bent over three taels of silver is equivalent to ten beans. Just as I was hesitating, a dirty hand reached over, picked up the silver leaf, put it in my mouth and took a bite. Haha, I got rich.

When I saw that the little kid was thirteen or fourteen years old, she was in a mess and turned out to be a little beggar, so I said that this guy seemed to be given to me this money.

The little beggar looked disdainful. Will he agree if you ask him to?

I thought to myself, I was unlucky, I ignored him and was about to leave. The little beggar followed me into Wuxi City and chatted behind me. You are also from the Beggars' Sect, are you going to attend the Xingzi Forest Conference?

I was unhappy and didn't bother to pay attention to you. I held Luhua and ignored him. The little beggar refused to let go. I thought that my clothes were dirty now, so I found an inn to live in and change my clothes.

When I arrived at the inn, the guy saw me covered in mud, and followed a little beggar singing Lotus Falling, saying sorry, the restaurant was full of customers. I said I should prepare some wine and food for me first.

When the guy saw us, he looked contemptuous and sneered, "Our inn pay first and then order food. Do you have enough money on you?"

I thought to myself that you are looking at people with a dog's eyes, and you are about to take out silver from your arms and enjoy the pleasure of slapping the face with a arrogant and respectful slap in the face. When my hand reached into my pocket, the little beggar took out the silver leaf and slapped it on the table, saying, "I'll treat you this time."

The guy probably thought that the little beggar was dirty and had a big smell. He disliked the story. Our store did not do the Beggars' Gang business! The little beggar said furiously, "Dog slave."

At this time, three people dressed neatly and carrying a few sacks on their backs were about to enter the store when they saw the little beggar and mocked, "Oh, this isn't a little slut from the dirty clothes, why did they come to have a meal like a slut?"

Seeing this, the little beggar mocked, "Our dirty clothing sect also pays for meals, which is better than your clean clothing sect's honest and shamelessness."

I heard that these three people were also disciples of the Beggars' Gang. The Beggars' Gang's disciples were all over the world and were once one of the eight major gangs. Later, after the leader of the Old Hong Gang Xian went, the Beggars' Gang in the world became a mess, split into dozens of small gangs, distributed in various states, and could no longer cause any storm. However, even if they were split, the struggle between the Dirty Clothing Sect and the Clean Clothing Sect never stopped.

When the guy saw the three of them, he hurriedly said, please come in with three objectives!

The three of them entered the house, but did not sit down, took off the pockets behind them, placed them on the table, and took out the quicksell from it.

The man asked, what does the three mean?

The three bags of disciples in the lead played a quick-plate and sang a paragraph of Silaibao. While singing, they were traveling in front of everyone during the meal. The other two opened their pockets, which meant that they would not leave without giving money.

The inn owner couldn't bear it anymore, so he hurriedly came out, took out ten cents of copper coins, and handed them to the three Beggars' disciples, saying that the store's small book was sold, and the three of them took this little money to drink tea.

One of them scolded, "Are you a beggar?"

The boss said in surprise, isn’t it just a beggar?

That won't work. This three-bag elder who sang Shuilaibao is a stolen figure in Wuxi. He also won the rankings in the Ming Dynasty. The appearance fee is 10 taels of silver.

The inn owner was impatient and waved his hand and seven or eight big men surrounded the three of them. Don’t toast or eat the punishment.

The three bags of disciples collected the quick-plated bills and grabbed the ten cents of money, and were about to take the two of them away. As soon as they walked three or four steps, they suddenly stopped and took out two more pieces of money from the ten cents of copper coins and placed them on the table.

Today, our Beggars’ Gang’s anniversary will be celebrated, and the fee will be 20% off!
