Daiyu's wish could not be realized after all. Even before Jia Qiang and Lin Ruhai finished talking, someone came to disturb...

"Master, a message came in from the front. Prince Kehe is here. He said outside that he was looking for the Marquis and asked the Marquis to get out quickly."

Jia Qiang was talking to Lin Ruhai about collecting cleaning silver and fire ban money from various shops in the East City. When Lin Ruhai didn't seem to agree with it, a mother-in-law came outside the study.

When Jia Qiang heard this, she said helplessly to Lin Ruhai: "It must be about the carriage."

Lin Ruhai pointed out: "No matter what, you must pay attention to propriety when interacting with the clan. After all, Prince Kehe is also a prince and a direct descendant of the queen."

Even though it's ridiculous, the identity is there.

Getting too close is a disaster rather than a blessing.

Jia Qiang naturally understood this truth and responded: "Sir, don't worry, I will save it."

After that, he stood up and was about to leave, but suddenly he remembered something: "Sister Lin, are you going to see Sister Shi today? I'll pick you up later in the evening?"

Daiyu thought about it carefully and said slowly: "That's fine, Yun'er still doesn't know how much she's crying."

Then he explained seriously to Lin Ruhai and Aunt Mei: "Yun'er and I grew up together. She has had no parents since she was a baby, and her uncle and aunt didn't treat her well. Now that she doesn't even have a home, she will feel sad. , I don’t go to visit, it’s very bad!”

What else can Lin Ruhai and Aunt Mei say...

"Hey, I'll pick you up later!"

After that, Jia Qiang left Zhonglin Hall under Daiyu's shameful and angry look.

…

"Ouch, why did you come out? Come on, come on, come with me, don't let me finish eating and drinking all by myself!"

As soon as Jia Qiang left the gate of Lin Mansion, she was picked up and dragged into his car by Li Xuan, who was full of complaints.

Jia Qiang freed her arm with a clever move and frowned: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"

Li Xuan said angrily: "We are discussing how to build a carriage workshop! The fourth child is waiting in Jinxiu Pavilion! Jia Qiang, I can tell you, the fish banquet in Jinxiu Tower is the first to be cooked in the whole capital! The fourth child has always been here Keep quiet, that's because he's inside. It's really late. It would be nice to leave a fish head for us. I'm bleeding heavily today, and there are other surprises. I'm late, so it's all at my advantage. .Hurry up!"

Jia Qiang had no choice but to say: "I'll ride a horse. I'll ride faster."

He couldn't bear to squeeze into a carriage with a man.

Li Xuan didn't force himself. After he hurriedly got into the carriage, he asked the palace's coachman and guards to set off quickly.

Jia Qiang also got on her horse and followed the carriage.

In an inconspicuous alley in Dongcheng, a wooden plaque with the words "Jinxiu Pavilion" hangs on the door of a three-story wooden building.

It's also unusual.

Li Xuan, who got off the carriage, said proudly: "Don't look at the dilapidation of this building. The fish is cooked well! Last time I brought a portion back to the palace and gave it to the queen to taste. Even the queen praised the fish. The fish feast here is even more delicious than the one in the palace! The fish banquet here can only be ordered a month in advance, so I have helped the old man in this family before giving me some thin noodles. Otherwise, you can’t eat even if you have money. !You owe me a big favor today!"

Jia Qiang laughed angrily and said, "Is this considered a favor?"

Li Xuan said with a smile: "You owe a lot! Wait a moment, you will owe another one!"

After that, he took Jia Qiang and went inside.

When passing an old man, he stopped and said a few words.

It turned out that this white-haired old man was the owner and chef of Jinxiu Building. After saying a few words, he went into the kitchen.

Jia Qiang followed Li Xuan upstairs and asked curiously: "How come no one has recruited such a capable person into the palace or the palace?"

Li Xuan chuckled and said with a smile: "Are you the King of the Mountain in Tianjia? If you see a good one, you will force him to go to the palace. In the palace, are there any time-honored brands on the market? No, what do you think of Tianjia? "

Jia Qiang also laughed and said nothing.

When we arrived at the private room on the third floor, we saw Yin Hao sipping Huadiao as he walked in. In front of him was a plate of sweet and sour carp with its bones intact.

Li Xuan's face turned pale when he saw it, and he said angrily: "I knew you would eat it secretly, Fourth Brother!"

Yin Hao chuckled and said: "What am I eating secretly? I paid for this item and asked the store to order extra."

Li Xuan said angrily: "What a fart! The rules of Jinxiu Tower are that there can be no more than eight fish on one table. You can use just one order!"

Yin Hao remained silent and took another bite of Huadiao.

Li Xuan pointed at him and said to Jia Qiang: "See clearly? He will make a statue at his grandmother's place. He is the most insidious!"

Jia Qiang laughed and said: "There are five brothers and one younger brother. The old lady singled out the fifth brother to take charge of internal and external affairs. My lord, tell me, does the old lady know what the fifth brother's temperament is?"

"..."

After Li Xuan felt depressed for a while, he smiled brightly and said, "I still have some surprises yet to come!"

After saying that, he looked at Yin Hao and smiled, clapped his hands, and then saw three beauties walking out of the private room.

Not to mention their sweet looks, the most important thing is that the three beauties are all people with broad minds...

When Jia Qiang saw this, she looked at Li Xuan who was about to die laughing and Yin Hao who was shaking his head and smiling bitterly. She was speechless for a long time and said: "I have confidential matters to discuss today, so I won't invite them."

Li Xuan flatly refused and said domineeringly: "What secrets are there today? It's just some business to make a living, so it doesn't matter if they hear it! Jia Qiang, don't pretend to be a good person for me, you are stupid too, today we are making a secret After the commotion in the government, who in Shenjing City still regards you as a good person? You are too bad. Even my princess laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. You can't think of using a group of shrews to deal with those women... ...You are still pretending to be a good person now, are you pretending like this? They are all courtesans from Fengle House. I said hello to them before they took away the bellyband. You..."

Jia Qiang couldn't stand listening anymore. This bastard's reputation had been completely ruined...

He waved his hand and said: "If the prince won't let them leave, then I will leave!"

After that, he turned around and went downstairs.

Seeing that he was really like this, Li Xuan hurriedly shouted: "Let them play music inside, can they play music?"

Jia Qiang hesitated, and Li Xuan cursed and said: "People like you rely on this to make a living. They will starve to death! Do you have any sympathy at all? Fourth child, go back and tell Ziyu that this person is the most ruthless!" "

Yin Hao hehe, Jia Qiang thought for a while, took out some broken silver from her sleeve pocket, put it on a table aside, and said to the three pitiful prostitutes: "There are really important things to talk about today. Next time Fortunately, come and listen to the music of the girls again. You can go back now."

The three girls looked at the unparalleled handsome Jia Qiang, and their eyes were full of brilliance. Their pretty faces were dizzy, and they knelt down and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Marquis for the silver reward! Whenever Mr. Hou is free, our sisters will be at Fengle Tower." Sweep the couch to welcome you."

After that, he said goodbye and left.

After they left, Li Xuan said gloomily: "I told Brother Ning Wang that I wanted to entertain you, and he relented and asked me to bring three of them out. It would be better for you to send them away as soon as you show up. Disappointing…”

Jia Qiang narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard this and said, "Fengle Tower is the property of Prince Ning?"

Li Xuan ignored this and muttered: "Come on, what's the secret?"

However, he did not let Jia Qiang say anything, and he continued to talk to himself: "Jia Qiang, when I went back yesterday, I found some old masters who were serving as supervisors in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They are all master craftsmen in carpentry. Father, They built the queen's dragon, horse and phoenix. They said that even if you can really solve the steering problem, people will know it after they buy it. I'm afraid it will be difficult to support a large industry. Not to mention them , there are two famous companies in Beijing that specialize in building cars, the Lei family and the Tan family, both are time-honored brands with hundreds of years of experience! Even if we solved the steering problem, they looked at it and said it couldn't be better than what we did. They have Skilled craftsmen and ready-made workshops, if we want to do it, we have to start from scratch."

Jia Qiang waved her hand and said: "Some things cannot be made by others just by looking at them. For the same dyeing, why are there so many master dyers from the eight largest cloth companies in the capital, but they can't dye it as brightly as Yun brocade?"

Li Xuan's eyes lit up and he said, "Do you also have a secret recipe for this carriage?"

Yin Hao looked sideways at the side, and Jia Qiang smiled and said: "It's not just one secret recipe? There are many secret recipes! Fifth brother, do the children at home still like the baby toys that my sister-in-law brought back from the club?"

Yin Hao nodded and said with a smile: "Naughty and crazy."

Jia Qiang said: "These things don't look difficult. Ordinary carpenters look at them and realize that they can do it if they really do it. However, those with average skills cannot do it so well. Old craftsmen with good skills want to make it." The same thing takes at least seven or eight more work than what we make, or even more! Why? It’s because we have a secret recipe.

Therefore, even if the Lei family and the Tan family disassemble the carriage we sold and want to make it, even if they can do it, the cost will be several times higher than ours, and the time spent will be even more. It will last much longer and there is no way it can compete with us!"

Things like lathes are more than just secret recipes in this world...

Li Xuan looked at Jia Qiang in surprise and said, "So, you don't have to worry about not making money?"

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "This industry is a big industry that can be passed down to future generations. It's not about making money or not. It's about thinking about how to eat this golden mountain for a long time."

Li Xuan hurriedly said: "Jia Qiang, do you have any ideas? Say it quickly!"

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "I'm thinking that there is no need to put all the workshops in the capital. Firstly, there are not so many carpenters and craftsmen in the capital. Secondly, the wages of the craftsmen here are also expensive, and the labor force is not mixed. All three, the trees near the capital cannot be cut down by us at will. Therefore, I plan to find favorable places to place the workshops along both sides of the canal. Each workshop is only responsible for producing part of the vehicle, and finally , and then ship it to the capital for final assembly. In this way, we can prevent our secrets from being stolen to the greatest extent. Moreover, once this business grows, it will require thousands of carpenters and craftsmen. We As expected, it is not appropriate to gather over ten thousand craftsmen in the Gyeonggi region."

After hearing this, Li Xuan looked at Jia Qiang for a while, blinked, and turned to ask Yin Hao: "Do you understand?"

Yin Hao smacked his lips, looked at Jia Qiang and shook his head, saying: "I don't quite understand. How can a carriage be separated into two parts? I don't understand."

Jia Qiang smiled. It would take another hundred or two hundred years for streamlined operations to appear. Of course they didn't understand.

He smiled and said: "You don't need to understand this matter. Fifth Brother, you will be in charge of the village outside the city and watch the carriages being assembled."

Li Xuan refused to be left alone and said: "What about me?"

Jia Qiang said with a smile: "The prince's use is even greater. The prince's name must be used everywhere, otherwise I don't know how many little guys will come to attack Qiufeng and extort money. In addition, the prince is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and there are some of the most skilled craftsmen in the world. Craftsman, can the prince please invite a master to help teach a group of apprentices?"

Hearing this, Li Xuan waved his hands and said, "What a wonderful thing you think of! How is it possible to teach your skills to outsiders?"

Jia Qiang snorted and said: "What's impossible? It's impossible. It's just that the conditions are not in place. There are many old craftsmen with exquisite skills that have been lost in vain. It's a pity."

Li Xuan hesitated after hearing this and said, "Okay, let me go back and try it later."

Jia Qiang nodded, and Yin Hao was about to ask again what the regulations were for building a workshop along the canal. It sounded really novel, but he saw the door open, and there was a young waiter holding a food box and bowing. Paixiao came in to serve the food.

It's just that this guy came in. It didn't matter. As soon as he opened the door, the noise from the opposite side was also transmitted in.

An unclear word came in faintly, but the expressions of the three of them, Jia Qiang, Li Xuan, and Yin Hao, changed slightly.

"You said the queen... is female, but is she really... mute?"

"God!"

"Hahaha! What a big joke, ridiculous, ridiculous! It's my fault..."

The three of them looked at each other, ignored the waiter who was carefully setting out the dishes, got up together, and walked out the door...
Chapter completed!
