The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 152 Preparation
"The theft of Lushan Academy?" Xuan Shijing frowned and said, "I just heard about it from Gu Yuancheng yesterday afternoon, but I didn't expect it to fall on me today."

"Didn't Gu Yuancheng say at the time that Chang'an Jingzhao Yin's Mansion has already reported to Dali Temple." Long'er said.

"It's really worrying. I don't have enough manpower, and I have to investigate the case of Lushan Academy. The people in Dali Temple don't know the basics, and I can't call them." Xuan Shijing rubbed his head, feeling a little headache: "Long'er , is there any man on the village?"

Long'er shook her head: "A few years ago, they all retreated to Erxian Village one after another. Now, except for Feng Hao and a few craftsmen from the paper workshop, the Zhuangzi is the people of your fiefdom."

"Write a letter and transfer people." Xuan Shijing rubbed his head and said, "I'm not in a hurry to go to the case of Lushan Academy today. I have to find Qiandui to do something. If someone comes from Erxianzhuang, I can't return it." In Zhuangzi, it’s not convenient to transfer, so I might as well find a place in Chang’an City.” Xuan Shijing always felt that he didn’t have enough manpower around him, so he simply transferred a group of people from Erxianzhuang, knowing that he could trust him.

During the war, Xuan Mingde took in many orphans, and now those orphans have grown up, and most of them work in Erxian Village.

Since Xuan Shijing came back, the business of the mansion has gradually become clearer. Qian Dui started to open shops in the two cities of Chang'an City. , It can be said that Vientiane is renewed.

Taking Long'er and Shihu to the West Market, the signboard of Shangpinfang has been taken off, and the place has been turned into a temporary headquarters by the pile of money, the first floor has become the living room, and the second floor is the place where the pile of money lives. Also, Hyun Se Kyung came to the private meeting room.

In the hall on the first floor, Qiandui was receiving several Hu merchants from the Western Regions. Seeing Xuan Shijing and the other three walking in, he hurriedly got up to greet him: "Young Master, why are you here?"

Seeing that Qiandui was meeting guests, Xuan Shijing didn't want to disturb him, and said, "You do your work first, I'll go to the second floor, and then come up after you finish your work." After that, he took Long'er and Shi Hu up to the second floor .

I went upstairs and waited for a long time in the room before the money pile came up.

"Young Lord." Qian Dui bowed his hands.

"No need to be formal, sit down." Xuan Shijing signaled Qiandui to sit down: "I came here today to discuss something with you. Is there a larger house around Xuanwu Lake?"

When the pile of money didn't come up, Xuan Shijing was thinking about where to place the people brought over from Erxian Village, and he definitely couldn't be too close to the Hou's Mansion. Zhong Xungui, because there is no suitable place near the Hou's mansion, the sudden appearance of such a group of people will attract the attention of many dignitaries. The land is too far away from Qujiang Pond, and the rest is next to Xuanwu Lake. Now Qiandui is buying Xuanwulou. After the acquisition in the future, most of the area around Xuanwu Lake will become the industrial cluster of the Hou Mansion, and people will be placed in There, on the one hand, it is easy to move, and on the other hand, it can still take care of these industries on weekdays, especially Xuanwulou. If there is no power behind opening such a large restaurant in Chang'an, it will not be far from closing.

Hearing Gao Jun's question, Qian Dui thought for a while: "There is such a house, which was owned by a high-ranking official in the previous dynasty. It has been abandoned for a long time. It was originally intended to be bulldozed and rebuilt in the future."

"Let's find someone to renovate as soon as possible, the sooner the better, I plan to transfer people from Erxian Village and settle in Chang'an City." Xuan Shijing said: "By the way, is there any movement at Xuanwu Chou?"

"I have been sending people to contact me for the past few days. The other party seems to be very anxious. I also instructed the people below to lower the price as much as possible. Young Master, how long are we going to delay?" Qian Dui asked. Pushing up the price will screw up the deal.

"En" Xuan Shijing thought for a while, and said: "It's almost done, send some smart people under your command to pay attention to the movement of the money they sold for Xuanwu. Li Yuanjing must be in such a hurry to spend the money, there must be something important." .”

Qiandui nodded: "Then I will have someone settle this matter tomorrow. I always feel that if we postpone it like this, if the other party sees something, we will lose more than we gain. I have noticed it over the years, Jing The people under the king who help him run these businesses are not ordinary people, otherwise the money they get will definitely not be enough to support the huge network of King Jing. Our Hou Mansion has been quiet for too long these years. Some Hu merchants who have cooperated with us have seen In the situation of the Hou Mansion, everyone is hesitating whether to cut off the business relationship with the Hou Mansion, and it is time to show some strength to frighten the bearded gang."

"En. Xuanwu has five floors up and down. Don't move the bottom three floors. The fourth floor is the headquarters of Shengtang Group. Leave the fifth floor alone for me. I have other uses." Xuan Shijing pointed her finger Knocking on the table: "Since you want to be a facade, you might as well make it bigger, find a good day and hold an opening ceremony for the Shengtang Group, and it will not be a problem if you keep doing this behind the scenes. Those who still covet the mansion have a look, the master of the Hou mansion is back, and all those that were taken from the Hou mansion back then will be sent back, and if we don’t want to give it away, we can only get it ourselves.”

"Yes, Young Lord." Xuan Shijing said, the money he said was full of enthusiasm, that's right, if you don't want to send back the things from the Hou's mansion, then we will take them back by ourselves. As for how much, who knows Woolen cloth?

"By the way, Qiandui, you have been in Chang'an for the past half month, do you know about the theft of Lushan Academy?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Qian Dui nodded: "I've heard of that. Master Qian Xiao was giving lectures at Lushan Academy for half a month. During that time, why did Lord Hou suddenly ask about this matter?"

"Now I'm in Dali Temple, and Dai Zhou gave me this case." Xuan Shijing sighed: "I also listened to some things about this case in Guozi yesterday. It was not only the students of Guozijian, but also many students around Chang'an. A master took students to Lushan Academy to study, there are so many people, that is to say, everyone may be a prisoner, and now these students have been separated for half a month, how to find out."

"Master Hou, this requires you to send someone to visit Lushan Academy. As far as I know, what Lushan Academy lost was the tuition fees paid by the students in the treasury, not other treasures. The tuition fees paid by the students are all Copper coins, Lushan Academy has at least a hundred students. Now the only currency in circulation in the Tang Dynasty is Kaiyuan Tongbao. It’s not something ordinary people can handle, unless it’s pulled by a bullock cart, and I think it’s not like it was done by outsiders, but more like a house thief.” Qiandui said.
