Han Xiufeng liked to deal with such smart people. He pretended to be thoughtful for a moment and whispered in his ear: "Master Fu, all the officials I serve are Beijing officials. Do they know where the houses are valuable and where the houses are not?"

?I can't lose my job for these one hundred taels."

Being the head of a guild hall is not like being a yamen errand. It is not easy to deceive the superiors without concealing the truth. Fugui thought about it and suggested: "Fourth Master, how about the price of 350 taels? I have 300 taels. You can take it."

Fifty taels."

Han Xiufeng wanted both money and fame, so he said without hesitation: "No, no, it's not worth losing your job for fifty taels."

"Then what should we do? Why don't you get a charter?"

"Mr. Rich, you are in a hurry to spend your money. I can't let you suffer a loss, let alone lose your job because of this matter. Otherwise, I will first go to find out what some officials say. If they agree, I will spend three days.

You don’t need to give me any money even if I buy your yard for a hundred taels. When the guild hall is renovated in the future and I need to buy furniture and utensils, you can help me think of ways to see if I can get some from the things that have changed in price at Chongwenmen.

return."

The Chongwenmen Customs House not only collected taxes, but was also responsible for selling various items confiscated by the imperial court.

The court of a small corrupt official will not copy. If you want to copy, just copy the house of a big corrupt official. And the house of the big corrupt official is full of good things. Fugui reacted and grinned: "Fourth Master, no matter whether the things in the yard can be done or not, from now on

Whatever the guild hall needs to buy, I will take care of it. I have made a fortune for you, my friend!"

…

Because I didn't receive any confirmation letter from my hometown before, I didn't know if Mr. Gu could help raise the money, so I never thought about it, let alone mentioned the purchase of this yard to the west.

I didn't think of it before, but now I have thought of it, and it will be easier to mention it now.

Fuguiman thought that Han Xiufeng was doing him a favor, and he was so happy that he urged Han Xiufeng to find out about Ji Yunfei, Qian Junchen and other Chongqing officials.

Han Xiufeng felt that this kind of matter should not be rushed, as rushing would be bad, so he promised to inquire, but in fact he went to shopkeeper Wen and other Sichuan merchants to tell them that Mr. Gu had raised money in his hometown in Chongqing and would send someone to deliver the money order soon.

Here comes the news that the guild hall will be further expanded.

In the eyes of others, this is a good thing, but to businessmen such as Wen Youyu, it is not good news.

Because this is no different from buying shares and doing business. The guild hall was built by Chongqing officials who raised funds. Although these merchants paid two thousand taels, they still lacked confidence in front of the officials. Now Chongqing Shilin is raising money again, waiting for those two thousand taels.

When Qianliang arrives, they will be even less confident.

Han Xiufeng didn't care what they thought. After he informed them one by one, he went back to the newly rented yard and explained to Pan Er. Then he went to the temple to burn incense and make a wish, asking the Bodhisattva to bless Qin'er and the baby in Qin'er's belly.

As Han Xiufeng expected, Pan Er rushed to the guild hall construction site after lunch. Shopkeepers Wen, Chu, Yu and other merchants were all there. They were listening to Fugui bragging about how good the feng shui of the yard next door was. If the guild hall had spent three hundred taels to buy it,

How cost-effective it would be to come down.

"Chang Sheng, you're here too."

"I brought food to Datou, Mr. Fu, have you eaten?"

"I've eaten, and so has Datou. I invited him to eat in the alley." Fuguixiao Datou is Han Xiufeng's confidant, and I don't know how nice he is to Datou this morning.

Seeing Da Tou's silly smile, Pan Er realized that he was really a visitor. He put down the food box and turned around and said, "Shop Manager Wen, Shopkeeper Yu, why are you here too?"

"Didn't Mr. Han plan to take over Mr. Fu's yard? This was too sudden. We were not prepared at all, so we came over to take a look."

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. I only heard what my young master said at noon." Pan Er sighed softly, then turned around and asked, "Master Fu, what kind of ecstasy soup did you pour into my young master this morning? Look at this."

Bian, the rice will be ready in a few days. If I don’t buy your yard sooner, I won’t buy your yard later. It doesn’t matter if I buy it now, it won’t look good if I renovate it. I really think it’s one thing at a time.”

"What do you know, kid? Since the fourth master plans to build my yard, he certainly has his reasons. You, a member of your family, are actually taking charge of the master. Do you know the rules?"

"Master Fu, don't worry, that's what I said."

"I won't tell you anymore, I won't share your common knowledge." Fugui saw that neither the Sichuan merchants nor Pan Er agreed to buy his yard, so he was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, so he climbed over the wall with the ladder and returned to the west yard.

Pan Er smiled, turned around and said, "Shopkeeper Wen, shopkeeper Yu, besides the abacus, my young master also has something to do in the yard. I don't know if he has told you."

"What's the matter?" Shopkeeper Wen asked eagerly.

Pan Er called them aside and said in a serious tone: "Guys, the guild hall will be renovated very quickly. In three months, the inside and outside will be almost the same. There are no rules without rules. After the renovation is completed, there must be rules.

As a rule, my young master has drafted a protocol. He plans to invite Mr. Ji, Mr. Jiang, and Mr. Wang to discuss it in a few days. He also has to send a copy back to Mr. Gu who is far away in his hometown in Ba County. If the gentlemen have no objections, then this will be the case.

Implementation.”

"I heard Mr. Han mention it before, but I forgot to ask about the specific rules." Shopkeeper Yu said thoughtfully.

"I took a look and saw that there was nothing else. I think I should talk to a few people about who will be the first to do this after the renovation of the museum is completed."

Wen Youyu was stunned and subconsciously asked: "Who will do it?"

Pan Er secretly thought that he had planned to let you do it before, but now something has changed. He suppressed a smile and said seriously and sincerely: "Everyone has donated money to renovate the guild hall. If you want to say it is suitable for you seven

Both of you are suitable for this job. My young master feels that we can't let this matter hurt the harmony, so he plans to choose a wealthy and mature man in Beijing. There will be store owners who will take charge of the public affairs. Every year, the two of them will take turns to start again. You can draw lots or discuss the division.

Class, anyway, everyone has a chance, everyone takes turns."

"This relationship is good, I think it will work!" Shopkeeper Chu couldn't help but smile.

"I also think it's best this way. Everyone takes turns to avoid hurting the harmony."

"Shopkeeper Wen, what do you think?"

"Very good, very good." Wen Youyu calmed down and could only say yes.

Pan Er invited everyone to sit on the pile of bricks, and said with excitement: "Everyone, although the chief of the guild hall has to take turns, and it only happens once every two or three years, after the rules are agreed upon, this job belongs to the seven families of you.

!If you are not willing to do it in the future, or if you want to go back to your hometown, you can pass it on to your sons or even your grandsons. Although it only costs about ten taels of rice a year, how much is the friendship that can be made by doing this thing worth, and how much money does it cost?

You can’t buy it either!”

"This is, I'm not afraid of Brother Pan's joke, why we spent money to renovate the guild hall, isn't it just to make friends with Master Ji and the others."

"You only know how to be the chief official and make friends with the official, but you have forgotten that the current chief minister is still my young master. You should understand the rules of the yamen. No matter what you want to cover, you must first buy the bottom. You can't let my young master pass this on.
