Dali Temple has his Lord Luo

Chapter 158
Tang Hao continued to listen to a few people chatting.

"I went over yesterday and saw a notice posted on Zhaixing Tower that it will be maintained throughout the autumn!"

"I don't know where to take on this project. I guess I can make a lot of money!"

"How can this kind of thing be left to the private sector? Why don't the Ministry of Industry send a team down?"

Several people were talking about it, and an idea came to Tang Hao's mind.

Back at the house, Zhao Jun had already returned:
"Why are you back? Master!"

"Zhao Jun, let's go to Anyang City!"

"Why are you going there? Are you still selling the Five-Day Blessing Box?"

"It's boring, let's do something big this time!"

"Isn't the five-day fortune box big enough? I admire you, you are a hero among men!"

"What's that? It's a child's play!"

"Young Master is so awesome! You can actually make such amazing things with your tinkering!"

Tang Hao is a little proud of this:

"This time I will take you to something more interesting!"

Zhao Jun looked forward to it:
"What are we doing this time?"

"Is there still a list of the richest people in Anyang City that we checked last time?"

Zhao Jun went to browse on the bookshelf and took out a small stack of papers:
"Young master, they are all here!"

Tang Hao looked at each one carefully, took out a pen and paper, and wrote down four names:
"We will go to Anyang City tomorrow to find these four people."

So when Zhao Jun was told in this way, Zhao Jun's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide.

Young Master, this is too overbearing!
The next day, Tang Hao and Zhao Jun drove a carriage and entered Anyang City at dusk. They found the best Xinlong Inn in Anyang City and asked for the best room. After the two of them packed up, Tang Hao went to Zhaixing Tower. .

Tang Hao didn't do anything else. He walked around the Zhaixing Building before standing next to the notice in front of the door and reading it carefully:
Due to being in disrepair for a long time, there is a risk of collapse. The Star Building is scheduled to be repaired in January. We would like to inform you here.Signed by the Ministry of Industry.

Tang Hao looked back at the Star-Zhaing Tower, which was about 7 feet high, and smiled with satisfaction.

Just when I was lost in thought, I saw a man and a woman walking out while talking.

The woman has smiling eyes, a peach-like face, a tall figure, and clear eyes. Her whole person exudes vitality and sassiness. From time to time, she looks at the man beside her affectionately.

The man had handsome features and a tall figure. His left hand hugged the woman's back from time to time. The two talked softly and occasionally looked at each other and smiled.

Because the corridor leading out of the Star Building was narrow, Tang Hao stood aside and passed by the two of them. When the man passed by, he nodded to express his thanks.

Qin Zhao and Luo Ning walked out of the Star Picking Tower. Qin Zhao saw a young man in white standing next to the notice board from a distance.

He is personable, elegant and polite, and he is a young man with knowledge and extraordinary bearing at first sight.

When Tang Hao saw the two of them walking away, the idea in his heart had already formed, and he was waiting for Zhao Jun to summon the four of them tomorrow.

On the evening of the second day, Tang Hao put on the newly purchased navy blue brocade clothes, tied up his hair, put on a purple gold crown, and came to the box on the second floor of Cuixiang Building.

Go in and sit down. After a while, Zhao Jun leads people in one after another.

The first one to come was the jeweler Liu Zhong, and Zhao Jun introduced Tang Hao to him:
"Mr. Liu, this is Mr. Min, the Minister of Industry."

The private merchants didn't know who the official lords were, so they hurriedly greeted him: "Liu Zhong, a common man, meet Mr. Allergy!"

At this time, Tang Hao had become the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, so he nodded, and Liu Zhong secretly praised his elegant demeanor.

Sure enough, he is an official. Although he is young, he is in a high position and his demeanor is different!
Soon the tea merchant Li De, the fabric merchant Ye Xiu, and the lumber merchant Wang Qi all walked into the private room.

Seeing everyone coming together, Tang Hao signaled Zhao Jun to close the door, then picked up the wine glass and spoke softly:
"Thank you all and congratulations to everyone. As for what to congratulate, I will reveal the answer later. Here, I would like to express my respect to you all!"

After speaking, Tang Hao picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

The four people did not dare to be rude and drank all the drinks in agreement.

Tang Hao looked at the four people and said solemnly:

"The Ministry of Industry is preparing to repair the Star Building, I believe all the gentlemen know about it!"

Several people quickly agreed that this is a major event in Anyang City, and now almost everyone knows it.

Tang Hao went on to say:
"After several investigations by the Ministry of Industry, it is actually intended to demolish the Zhaixing Building, but in view of the people's recognition of the Zhaixing Building, if it is said that it will be demolished, it may cause dissatisfaction, and it will be repaired as a cover!"

The four people looked at each other, that's it.

"But you know that the Star-Zhaing Tower was built by Emperor Gaozu of our country. The wood inside is still good, and there are countless calligraphy and painting, as well as the pen and ink of famous writers."

When Tang Hao said this, he raised his wine glass and motioned to everyone. Everyone was in a state of confusion, not knowing what Tang Hao was going to say next.

"The emperor wants to sell it directly. If the Ministry of Industry directly intervenes, I'm afraid the people will not be able to justify it and cause other unnecessary troubles, so I want the private sector to take over!"

As soon as these words came out, several people were inexplicably excited. This was a good thing.

Not to mention the calligraphy and paintings in Zhaixing Tower, the wood is all high-quality mahogany and nanmu, which are valuable.

Tang Hao looked at everyone's expressions and whispered:
"As for this matter, the emperor has left it to me to handle privately. This is a document from the court. Take a look at it. And you are the emperor's merchants chosen by me!"

After several people heard this, they were all shocked and happy. Once this thing is successful, wouldn't it mean that they would become rich all at once?
Tang Hao saw everyone's expressions and whispered:
"What about this matter? It's of great importance. I ask the gentlemen to consider it carefully. Although you have been selected by me, you have the right to refuse. Please keep your mouth shut. Please don't let anyone know!"

The four people nodded frequently.

"Then let's take tomorrow as the deadline. First, I need to pay a deposit of 5000 taels of silver, so that I can have an explanation to the emperor."

The four people looked at each other and began to make small calculations in their minds.

Tang Hao added:

"If these gentlemen don't want to participate in this matter, then please tell me when you leave. I have to look for other people. The emperor doesn't give me much time. Please understand!"

Tang Hao's conversation was extraordinary, and his words were reasonable and reasonable. The four of them had no doubt that he had it.

In the following time, Tang Hao traveled far and wide, and was knowledgeable about everything. These wealthy businessmen were deeply impressed by Lord Min's abilities and skills, and praised him frequently.

At the end of the dinner, Tang Hao solemnly warned the four gentlemen for the last time:

"I won't leave yet. If the four gentlemen have any objections, please tell me immediately. This matter must be kept confidential. If the news is leaked and causes riots among the people, the consequences will not be borne by you or me. Please forgive me! "

There is no reason why four people should not agree.

Tang Hao did not leave, but sat in front of the window and sipped tea. His guess was good, the four people would return one after another.

The first person to come in was the timber merchant Wang Qi. He said nothing. After giving Tang Hao 1000 taels of silver notes, he said with a smile:

"Master Min, the 5000 tael deposit will be delivered tomorrow!"

"No, no, this money needs to be registered with the Ministry of Works. Tomorrow someone from the Ministry of Works will go to the house to verify the records. Mr. Wang can just wait in the shop!"

Wang Qi thanked him profusely and turned to leave.

Cloth merchant Ye Xiu, tea merchant Li De, and jeweler Liu Zhong also returned one after another.

Various amounts of remuneration were put into Tang Hao's pocket. Tang Hao secretly smiled: This time, it's a little interesting!
