"I took the initiative to build bridges and roads for you. I finally brought my customers to you, but I dared to raise the price? In the future, I wouldn't brag about your business and be honest and never come to the capital to do business!"

When Peng Yu saw Chen Xi leave with his sleeves, he immediately started to scold him.

"Master, we have something to say."

Several Hu merchants came over to plead with Peng Yu.

Peng Yu waved his hand: "Don't tell me, I can't interfere with the decision of the big customer... But don't worry, we will do what we say and will never rob. You can do whatever you should do... Please be blessed with yourself. If you go out and be targeted again, no wonder others will be surprised!"

Jinlianzi Hu Shang said: "Is there any room for reversal in this matter? We... have better goods. The man just now saw that he was the material for doing big things. Since he chose a fair deal, it would be better to make money with kindness."

"Golden Beard, do you still have the face to talk?"

A Hu businessman said dissatisfiedly, "If you hadn't said the wrong thing, why would the big customer turn against each other on the spot? Now they don't want to do business with us, so how can you stay with shamelessness?"

Hu Shang, known as the Golden Beard, said: "How do I want to do business? There is no need to discuss with you... Master, what do you think of this? Go and tell the big customer that the boss behind me has more resources. If he comes to talk to the big customer in person, I wonder if... is it feasible?"

Peng Yu frowned: "You have a boss behind you? Are you just an errand runner?"

When Jin Huzi saw that the business was about to be ruined, she stopped covering it and said, "Although my brother has some business, I mainly help others manage the business... Master, have you heard of the boss of the Hai in the Western Regions? Brother, I am working under his hands! Our business is very big. Not only do we come to the Ming Dynasty every year, but we also have trade with many Western countries."

When a group of Hu merchants heard the name of "Boss Hai", they looked at each other and their expressions changed.

Peng Yu frowned and said, "What boss Hai, why have I never heard of it? He is so capable, how could he come to the capital of Daming?"

"this……"

Jin Huzi hesitated and said, "Brother, I won't lie to you. Boss Hai is really famous in the Western Regions. You will understand when you see him... Can you give me a contact point?"

Peng Yu did not answer Jin Huzi's words and looked at another Hu Shang: "Why don't you talk anymore? Do you also have something to do with that boss Hai?"

A Hu Shang said with a bitter face: "Boss Hai is covered in his hands and eyes. You have agreed on the conditions with him. We can follow the rules... Let's say goodbye!"

Perhaps they were scared by the boss behind the Golden Beard, and these people stopped doing business and each one of them gave in.

Peng Yu nodded: "Okay, go in and ask for instructions and see what the big customer has to say. If he is interested in Boss Hai, he can consider continuing to trade, but the conditions are not up to you, everything must be followed by the big customer's arrangements!"

"OK!"

The golden beard lost his temper.

Not long after Peng Yu entered the inner room, he waved his hand and said, "The big customer said that the deal can be done, but the meeting place must be in the capital. The address will be notified by verbal message and delivered one hour in advance. This is also to keep it confidential and prevent being known and causing trouble!"

Jin Huzi nodded: "It should be so, but the big customer thoughtfully. What about the time?"

"tomorrow!"

Peng Yu said, "It's only one day. If Boss Hai doesn't come, then the business will not be done! You guys go!"

Although Jinhuzi was unwilling to give up, she thought that the Ming Dynasty's capital was full of dangers and could lose both people and money at any time. She did not want to stay here for a long time, so she quickly left with a group of Hu merchants.

After Jinbei left, Peng Yu returned to the house, and Yunliu and Xier both appeared.

"Sir, I told the bearded man as you told me."

Peng Yu said happily, "I don't know if that boss Hai will show up in one day."

Yun Liu bowed: "Sir, according to the investigation of the humble position, the boss of Hai is indeed very powerful in the Western Regions. It is said that he has a title in a tribe west of the West Sea. The possibility of him taking risks to the Central Plains is extremely low... This golden beard may have other plans."

Chen Xi smiled: "I don't care if he has any plans. It's good to find Boss Hai, but if you can't find them, you can try to incorporate these Hu merchants in the Western Regions... Can't I set up a Western Regions business team controlled by the Ming Dynasty?"

"this……"

Yun Liu seemed very embarrassed, "Will this be criticized by the people in the court? This... the adults may be guilty of being connected with the outside world. The adults should not come forward and let the low-ranking position go to negotiate."

Chen Xi shook his head: "You are too careful. As long as we are cautious, how can the news be leaked? Besides, the court is about to go to war with the Tatars, so what if His Majesty knows? I always have a clear conscience in doing things, no matter how he spreads it outside... You can prepare after you go back, and say that you should use strong ones when you don't know."

Peng Yu asked for instructions: "Sir, if you don't send someone to follow the bearded man, you should be able to follow the traces and find Boss Hai."

Chen Xi waved his hand: "He took the initiative to propose that Boss Hai came to Beijing. He should be honest in doing business. If Boss Hai is not interested in cooperation, even if the terms are agreed, they will still break the contract. It is better to let them decide whether to continue the business!"

Then Chen Xi stood up and said, "It's not too early. Today is the Spring Festival. It's the time for the whole family to reunite. You go back. I'll give myself a vacation and have a good night's rest... I believe that Jinbei will not speak nonsense, just wait for the final decision tomorrow!"

...

...

When the Lantern Festival of the Capital began, the palace market in the Leopard Room was finally completed before Zhu Houzhao arrived.

Zhang Yuan was not attentive to manage the affairs of the palace. He was planning to examine the "Western Region beauties" intercepted from Qian Ning and waited for an opportunity to send them to Zhu Houzhao to invite favor. As a result, when he went to the side courtyard of the Leopard Room to see Zang Xian, he got bad news.

"...Eunuch Zhang, the person was replaced. I don't know if it was done by Hu Shang in the Western Regions, or if Lord Qian knew that we were going to take action, so we changed people first..."

Zang Xian was very distressed. He didn't expect that the first thing he did for Zhang Yuan was not completed.

Zhang Yuan had a dark face and went in to see the women inside. They were all village women, their clothes were worn, they had to be look bad, they had to be stunned, not to mention being temperamental.

However, after seeing this, Zhang Yuan felt strange: "These women are quite inclined to me, but unfortunately I am no longer a man!"

Because Zhang Yuan was born in the market, these women were basically the images of women he had seen in Ninghua County before, which was very suitable for him.

Zhang Yuan turned around and frowned at Zang Xian and said, "Have you investigated the situation on Qian Ning? You didn't get anyone, maybe it was that guy who was playing tricks behind his back. You'd better expect that boy Qian Ning didn't find the beauty of the Western Regions, otherwise...huh!"

Zang Xian was a little scared and said tremblingly: "The villain is busy sending the person to the leopard room and has not yet gone to inquire. If Lord Qian has already obtained the woman, then... father-in-law, you may have lost a chance to make meritorious contributions. Otherwise... the villain finds a group for you?"

Zhang Yuan said annoyedly: "Let's go find it now, where can I have time? Fortunately, our family has made some contributions to the opening of the palace this time, otherwise you will be killed by you... clean up these women and go into the leopard room with our family."

Zang Xian was stunned: "Eunuch Zhang, these women are so unbearable, how can... be presented to His Majesty?"

Zhang Yuan sneered: "Does it be necessary to offer your Majesty the opportunity to send him to the leopard room? Today, His Majesty will watch the lantern festival in the leopard room. Even if the palace maids and eunuchs imitate, they will only have superficial skills and no matter how hard they are, they will only be superficial and unsatisfied. But if these women are allowed to perform passers-by in the past, they will be ordinary civilians no matter how they look at it!"

Zang Xian's eyes lit up: "It turns out that these women are of such use. The villain has been taught... Immediately let someone clean up."

Zhang Yuan said again: "Although you are not doing well this time, you are wrong. But you have to investigate the whereabouts of the beautiful women in the Western Regions and search for a group of women back from the public... Our family still says the same thing, you can act under the banner of our family, and then take a look at the people after finding them. Remember to clean up first. Our family doesn't want to see such a vulgar and clever wife again!"

Zhang Yuan suddenly thought of his wife at home for no reason. After reuniting with her, he was on duty in the palace and the leopard room for many years, and was so busy that he was not touching the ground, but Qian was having sex outside, and he felt very unhappy.

This hatred made him feel a resistant mentality towards these urban women.

Zang Xian didn't know the reason why Zhang Yuan was angry, and thought he was not good at doing things. He quickly took the order and asked the woman to come in to help clean up, hoping to send people to the palace market at the Lantern Festival and catch fish in the troubled waters.

As for Zhang Yuan, he calmed down and prepared to go to see him.

After Xiao Guozi returned to Zhu Houzhao, Zhang Yuan was afraid that his status would be lost, so he tried every means to submit to Zhu Houzhao's preferences. Of course, the most important thing was to get familiar with it.

...

...

When Zhu Houzhao woke up, night had already fallen.

Although he drank a few cups of strong tea, Zhu Houzhao was still sleepy and wanted to sleep. When Xiaotengzi brought the pills, he suddenly waved his hand: "I take pills every day. I thought it was good at that time, but for some reason I always felt tired afterwards. Is these things overdrawing the essence of the body?"

Little wrinkled the wooden support and lowered his head and said, "I don't understand these."

"Oh! Forget it, I'm not convinced today." Zhu Houzhao said, "If you don't eat these for a day, nothing will happen. By the way, how are the arrangements in the palace city?"

Xiao Guozi handed the wood to the eunuch behind him and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, because the palace city is not large, and the temporary work arrangements are temporarily set up, the time seems a bit hasty. When I came over, I saw that there had just been two streets there, which was two streets less than the palace."

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "The palace has a large territory and many buildings. Of course, it cannot be compared with leopard houses, but the city walls in the palace are blocked and the access control is tight. It's not interesting to set up a market... Today is the Spring Festival, and the capital should be very lively, right?"

When Xiao Taozi heard what Zhu Hou said, he clearly wanted to go out to play in the leopard room and quickly said, "Your Majesty, it has been snowing in the capital before the New Year. It is cold and the people should be hiding at home and will not go out to play, right?"

Zhu Houzhao was upside down day and night, and had no idea what the weather was outside. After hearing Xiao Tiaozi's words, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​the leopard room and waved his hand: "Then lead the way, I'll go and see what the market arranged in the leopard room is."

Zhu Houzhao was guided by Xiao Tiaozi and headed to the palace market. Before he could see Zhang Yuan greeting him with a few eunuchs... Unlike Liu Jin's past who liked to act alone, Zhang Yuan always held his arms around him wherever he went, and sometimes the number of followers was even greater than that of Zhu Houzhao.

"Your Majesty, I have made arrangements for you."

Zhang Yuan walked to Zhu Houzhao and said happily after saluting.

Zhu Houzhao nodded: "I've gone to see it first, and then I'll tell you if your arrangements are right."

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Of course, everything is subject to Your Majesty's satisfaction. Why don't you lead the way for Your Majesty?"

Zhang Yuan unconsciously gave orders to Xiao Tiaozi... Xiao Tiaozi led the way not far in front of Zhu Houzhao. When Zhang Yuan arrived, Xiao Tiaozi could only take a few steps quickly and give up the position.

Zhang Yuanzhi approached Zhu Houzhao with a arrogant attitude and told the situation in the palace market.

While talking, the group came to the newly renovated intersection of Gongshi Street. It was already the time to go up. The palace city had been open for almost an hour. The streets were very lively. Those places that had not been completely repaired temporarily brought potted plants from the palace greenhouse, or set up a platform to perform juggling to cover up.

On the surface, it is not much different from the private night market.

"Haha, it's quite lively!"

Zhu Houzhao stood at the intersection of the street. When he looked from a distance, he felt like he had a leopard house and had a common sense.

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Everything is ready for Your Majesty... Please!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded with a smile, and then entered the street first. The palace maids and eunuchs who were dressed up as folk men and women had already had experience. They deliberately did not go to see Zhu Houzhao, and they would do their own things, or bargain around the stalls...

...

...

Zhu Houzhao walked for a while, looked at the lively street scenes around him, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's not bad, it's very lively, and all kinds of lanterns are available. It should be specially prepared for the Spring Festival, right?"

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "It is all arranged according to the folk Lantern Festival Lantern Festival. I hope Your Majesty is satisfied."

Zhu Houzhao walked forward for a while and found that some women in the crowd were unusual, with dull eyes and could not integrate into the street environment.

Every time Zhu Houzhao saw such a woman, she would pay attention. Without exception, these women were not very handsome. Just when Zhu Houzhao was about to ask someone for a question, there were rapid footsteps behind her, but when Qian Ning was jogging all the way.

"See Your Majesty."
