"Brother Qiang, if you agree to a price of 50,000 to 80,000 yuan, you will accept it as my brother's apology today."

Wang Shouzhong did not take the prescription immediately, but said seriously.

Not to mention eighty thousand, even fifty thousand taels of silver, what is the concept?

You can buy nearly 10,000 cows!!

But Jia Qiang waved her hand and said: "It's just an unintentional acquisition, why do you want such a high price? Besides, to be honest with Brother Wang, I not only found out the blue recipe, but also yellow, purple, blue, white, green,

Gray, and several other colors. Brother Wang and I are of the same mind, so there is no need to talk about money."

In fact, there are dozens of Lehu from Jiaofangsi. According to the normal price, the number is about this.

The family members of high-ranking official families are not much cheaper than the oirans of brothels.

However, Jiaofangsi’s Lehu cannot be bought with money at all.

Of course, if you have the right, you won’t have to spend so much to buy it...

Wang Shouzhong blinked, looked at Jia Qiang and said, "Brother Qiang, do you know how much money this recipe is worth?"

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "Actually, the blueprint of the Hengsheng is the best in the world. Having this recipe is just the icing on the cake. It doesn't matter if you don't have it, so it's not of high value."

When Wang Shouzhong heard this, his eyes lit up again. He seemed to have gotten to know Jia Qiang again. After taking a sip of wine, he praised: "What a pleasure! I didn't expect Brother Qiang to live so clearly at such a young age!"

"

But then he said to Jia Qiang and Feng Ziying: "Brother Qiang is only half right. In fact, in the cloth business, the dyeing recipe is of course the first foundation, but there is only the recipe, no matter how good the recipe is,

It's not very useful. For example, my Hengsheng is able to do what it is today. The quality of cloth dyeing is only one aspect. More importantly, my Wang family is a famous family in Langya. Officials from top to bottom in Dayan all think that the Wang family is a noble family, not a merchant.

, will not be bullied easily. But even so, my Wang family spends countless money and trucks on management every year.

To be honest, over the years, the money spent by the Hengsheng could be enough to create a mountain of gold and a sea of ​​silver! It was only with the money and the name of my Langya Wang family that the relationship between the provinces was finally smoothed.

This is the foundation for the Wang family to become the Eight Great Cloth Shops of Dayan. It only has prescriptions, it doesn’t matter, it won’t work at all! This is also the reason why I negotiated with Brother Qiang before, but is this prescription worthless?

What? No. It depends on whose hands it falls into. If it falls into the hands of the right person, it will be worth at least one hundred thousand gold!!"

Feng Ziying laughed and said: "I understand, brother Meng Jian, your Hengsheng Wang family and Dongsheng Zhao family have been enemies for decades. Wouldn't it be terrible if this recipe fell into their hands? The Zhao family is afraid that it will happen

Come and buy this prescription from Brother Qiang, right?"

Wang Shouzhong smiled bitterly and said: "That's right! When everyone has similar backgrounds and feet, they compare themselves to the quality of the cloth. If he hadn't been worried about this, shopkeeper Zhou wouldn't be so confused. It's not that he is reluctant to give money, but that he simply doesn't want to give money.

We cannot let anyone besides Heng Seng hold a better recipe than Heng Seng’s blue dyeing recipe. Because once this recipe falls into the hands of the Dongsheng Zhao family, or another of the other eight major cloth houses,

Here, it will be a disaster for our Hengsheng!

So Brother Qiang, if you want to give me Fang Zi in vain, you have to give me a lot of money."

Seeing that Wang Shouzhong could speak so well, Jia Qiang thought for a while and said: "I don't deny that I am interested in money. After all, in this world, it is difficult to move without money. But this money does not have to be obtained from Brother Wang.

, wouldn’t it be the same if I got it from the Dongsheng Zhao family? There is a daughter of Hengsheng Hao who bought the horse bones in front of me. After the news was released, I am afraid that there will be more than one person who wants to buy my younger brother Fang Zi. By then, I will no longer be short of money.

Done."

When Wang Shouzhong heard this, he took a deep look at Jia Qiang and praised: "Good brother, you are more sophisticated than my elder brother!"

Because of Jia Qiang's words, Wang Shouzhong was blocked from asking for prescriptions for Dongsheng Bu.

We can't blame Jia Qiang for not being righteous, but it's just that he couldn't put himself in the position of the mortal enemy of the Zhao family in Dongsheng just for the sake of righteousness.

That's not called righteousness, that's called losing your mind.

In addition, Jia Qiang also wanted Wang Shouzhong to cooperate and make a big advertisement for him...

Feng Ziying looked on amused. This brother took a step back and seemed generous and tolerant. In fact, he not only deposed Mr. Zhou, the shopkeeper, but also made the Wang family a big favor. Apart from that, he also had several other calculations. It was really interesting...

…

Jia Qiang smiled and said calmly: "Originally, I should have given the prescriptions that Dongsheng needed to Brother Wang, but it's just that the Zhao family has been enemies with the Langya Wang family for decades, and their foundation is so strong that I really can't bear it.

Well, I hope Brother Wang will understand. Besides, Dongsheng won’t get much benefit from my prescription, and it will cost a lot of money. It can be regarded as my relief for Brother Wang.”

Wang Shouzhong laughed loudly and said: "I understand more and more how a person like Chaozong could like you so much. Okay! Okay! Brother Qiang is indeed well-deserved!"

Feng Ziying laughed and said: "When I saw Brother Qiang last month, I immediately realized that he was different from before, his energy and spirit had completely changed. Looking at it now, it is indeed a completely different person. Even the Supreme Emperor said that he likes him, who would still like him?

Can you like him or not?"

Wang Shouzhong looked at Jia Qiang and smiled and said: "What you said in Zuixian Tower was not widely spread, because there was a lot of scolding in the clear stream. Even the founding heroes and Yuanping heroes, not many like it."

Feng Ziying said with a smile: "Because Brother Qiang, you just praise the Emperor, but you say that his merits are greater than those of Taizu and Emperor Shizu. Hey, in this case, no one dares to agree with you. But the Emperor likes you,

That’s enough.”

Jia Qiang's face was filled with emotion, and she shook her head and said: "Who would have expected that the Supreme Emperor would be next door that day? I just went to Zuixian Tower to learn from the scriptures and see how they renovated the restaurant. Two senior officials complained too much about the bad world, so I taught them a lesson.

A few words, but I didn’t expect..."

After Wang Shouzhong and Feng Ziying looked at each other, they both laughed and said: "If you did it on purpose, how could you escape from the Supreme Emperor's eyes? Afterwards, I don't know how many people checked the events of that day and the people involved countless times.

.As long as there is a slight flaw, it will be a matter of personal responsibility."

However, Feng Ziying still regretted and said: "I have always known that Brother Qiang is interested in fame and officialdom. Unfortunately, the Holy Family of the Supreme Emperor may not be able to help you."

The kind of holy family that scholars want is one who not only wants the emperor's trust and obedience, but also keeps a distance from the emperor to show his innocence. It is best to be able to criticize the emperor from time to time without the emperor blaming him and praising his ministers.

They are the true holy ones.

People like Jia Qiang, who gain favor by flattering others and saying flattering words, are as despised as smelly dog ​​excrement in the clear stream...

If Jia Qiang doesn't become an official, that's not a big deal. He's just a bug slipping by the officialdom.

But if Jia Qiang wanted to enter officialdom, she would definitely be the object of ridicule and would be unable to do so.

Jia Qiang smiled lightly and said: "The Emperor values ​​frugality. This is the moral benchmark set by civil servants for thousands of years. Diligence and frugality are also the most basic criteria for measuring whether an emperor is a wise king. I said those words.

, I have naturally stepped on their tails, how can I not be despised by everyone? This is because the Supreme Emperor Dragon is still in good health, so no one dares to attack me in groups. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will be a street rat now, and everyone will shout for beating me.

."

Wang Shouzhong asked: "Brother Qiang, do you still think that way now?"

Jia Qiang did not answer directly, but said: "The Supreme Emperor has another great achievement, which is to improve the status of merchants and make them no longer a humble industry. After the Supreme Emperor came to the throne, he started to develop business on a large scale, and he also relied on business. The great Yan Dynasty was able to

After passing the most difficult stage at the beginning, the people did not starve to death on a large scale.

The reason why the scholars did not admit this, even though most of them were veterans of Jingchu and regarded the Supreme Emperor as a holy king, they still resisted these policies was because the improvement of the status of merchants violated the interests of the gentry."

Feng Ziying said softly: "Brother Qiang, you may not know that the people who have lost their official titles and lost their lives in recent years are all the heroes who helped the emperor to develop business in the early years of Jingchu. Don't mention these words to anyone again. This dynasty is in the limelight.

, I’m afraid it’s going to change.”

Hearing this, Jia Qiang lowered her eyes and said: "Yes, the limelight seems to be changing. After all, the imperial court has gone through the most difficult days, and naturally it is impossible to give merchants such a high status. Therefore, no matter how much money you earn,

, what’s the use?”

As if feeling that the atmosphere was too heavy, Wang Shouzhong patted Jia Qiang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You still need to earn more money. Don't worry, I have Dong Sheng's eyeliner in the store. What happened on the Hengsheng today will be solved soon."

The news has reached the ears of the Zhao family. In three days at most, someone from the Zhao family will visit Brother Qiang. By then, you must be polite. Without thirty thousand taels of silver, this recipe cannot be handed over.

."

Feng Ziying also nodded and said: "Thirty thousand taels is just right. If it's less, you'll suffer. If it's too much, I'm afraid the Zhao family will treat you as their mortal enemy. It's not that I'm afraid of them, it's just unnecessary."

After saying that, Feng Ziying glanced at Tietou and Zhuzhu, who were still busy not far away, and suddenly laughed and said: "Brother Qiang, do you know where your danger today came from?"

Seeing Jia Qiang shaking her head, Feng Ziying pointed at the two Tietou people and said: "You yourself have a good temperament, so it doesn't matter if you wear fine cloth Confucian clothes, but your two attendants are actually wearing coarse cloth clothes, and you have a rough and rough atmosphere."

You can't hide it. When others see you with such a long entourage, they will never think that you are the prince's son. Brother Qiang, you should understand the principle of "respect Luo Yi first and then respect others". They say

In the sacred capital of Kyoto, at the feet of the emperor, there is a land of crouching tigers, hidden dragons. But for the Wang family, there is no one who needs their respect, and no one is dressed like this. Oh, by the way, there is an extra family now."

Jia Qiang and Wang Shouzhong looked at each other, shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

Respect Luo Yi first and then respect others, alas.
