Chapter 319 Who do you look down on?
"Little Huo Xi, why didn't you remember to notify your brother when something good happened?"
Huo Xi hurriedly looked away from the ledger and looked up.
Seeing Pei Ruojing, the young owner of Longxing, and a young man walk in with the curtain lifted.
"Brother Pei?" Huo Xi stood up to greet him, and smiled to let him to the table.
The man who followed took a look at the table, there was a thick account book, could the little girl in front of him understand?
Pei Youjing introduced to her: "This is your sister-in-law's natal brother, Wan Jingyu, you can also call him brother."
"Brother Wan."
Wan Jingyu nodded at Huo Xi with a smile.
Pei Ruojing picked up the handle of the waist fan and closed the open account book, and tapped on the cover: "Can you understand?"
"Hey, look blind." Huo Xi smiled and asked the waiter to pour tea.
"I don't believe it." Blind look can look so seriously?
This little girl can't be seen with the eyes of ordinary people, seeing that she opened Guangfeng Shui even at such a young age. His family, Huo Zhong, was in charge, but he saw this little girl carrying bags from the pier to start her home. Tsk tsk, people should not be judged by their appearance.
This child is not the daughter of a fisherman's family, it is clear that they are the daughters of merchants like them.
No, their Pei family has not produced such a powerful little girl in so many years.
Taking a sip of tea, Pei Youjing smiled and said, "Little Huo Xi, this year's bald butter is well made, your sister-in-law likes it."
Huo Xi tilted his head to look at him: "My sister-in-law thinks it's delicious?"
"No way, brother, I also think it's delicious. Don't forget brother next time."
Huo Xi smiled and nodded in response. She sent a basket of bald butter, and the Pei family also returned a lot of gifts, so they didn't suffer.
"Brother is passing by?" What is this for? The Longxing had many things to do for him.
"My home is in the inner city, and my shop is also in the inner city. I'm so bored, so I passed by you."
"Then you are too busy?" Huo Xi squinted at him.
Although Wan Jingyu heard some things about the little girl from her sister-in-law before coming here, she never expected that the little girl was quite courageous, without the slightest timidity or flattery, and chatted with Youjing in a generous way Like a friend I've known for years.
Pei Youjing laughed loudly: "That's right, I was in a hurry, so I came here to give money to my sister."
Send money? Huo Xi didn't believe it.
Pei Youjing nodded at her: "You girl, my brother misses you, but you are good. You have good things but you don't think about your brother."
Huo Xi thought about it: "Brother Pei is talking about timber?"
Pei Youjing raised an eyebrow at Wan Jingyu, and said he is a smart girl.
Huo Xi tilted his head: "But I remember that the Longxing was not involved in the timber business. If there was, I would have notified Brother Pei long ago."
"My brother's family doesn't have this business, but your sister-in-law's family is a timber merchant."
Huo Xi oh, then she really doesn't know about this relationship.
Pei Youjing and Huo Xi talked about Wanjia.
After hearing this, Huo Xi glanced at Wan Jingyu who was sitting on the side: "The Wan family has been in the timber business for so many years. Didn't I hear that Ci'en Temple would buy timber from merchants?"
Huo Xi nodded to express his understanding.
"Sister, you are still amazing. There are only four quotas for picking wood, and you got one. I heard that the other three have backgrounds, but Wanjia is far behind."
Huo Xi didn't want to disclose how he got this quota, but only said that it was a favor owed by others.
Pei Youjing didn't expect Wan's family to leave the Ministry of Industry and failed to get this spot, but was taken by the small owner of Guangfeng Shui.
Before, she also got the military uniform business from the guard, but now the autumn military uniform business of the guard has been handed over to Guangfeng Shui. His father said that this little girl should not be underestimated.
Could it be that the little girl in front of me has connections in the palace?
"Xiao Xi'er, you see that your family doesn't do this timber business either, can you transfer this quota to Wanjia?"
After Pei Youjing finished speaking, Wan Jingyu also nodded: "Exactly. Wanjia will not treat you badly. Wanjia is willing to pay one thousand taels of silver for the transfer fee."
Pei Youjing glanced at him in surprise.
Huo Xi took a sip of tea slowly.
Only then smiled and said: "I heard that the Baoen Temple built by the previous dynasty took nearly ten years of hard work and cost millions of taels of silver to build. And my plan for this Temple of Mercy is even bigger than the Baoen Temple of the previous dynasty. The planned pagoda is nine stories high, and the halls and halls will have as many as two to three hundred rooms. It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of people will be recruited, and it may take more than ten years to build. The Baoen Temple of the previous dynasty is much cheaper than it Much smaller."
Wan Jingyu looked at him in surprise. Pei Youjing lowered her head and smiled.
Hearing Huo Xi say again: "The Baoen Temple in the previous dynasty spent millions of taels of silver before and after, but this Temple of Ci'en is only a lot more. It is estimated that it will cost hundreds of thousands of taels to buy wood."
The two listened to her small mouth in a daze.
"If it takes more than ten years to build, you have to deal with the Ministry of Industry and the government every year. If things are done well, there will be a lot of hidden benefits in the process. It is estimated that Beiping City will take more than ten years to repair. The wood used is not good. A small Ci’en Temple can be compared. Except for timber business, bamboo materials, stone materials, various building materials, grain, cloth, salt and iron, daily miscellaneous, etc., what business can’t be done?”
Wan Jingyu and Pei Youjing stared at her blankly with the expressions of seeing a ghost in broad daylight.
Is this really a girl in her teens?
This business is clear. It seems that people have made this logic clear and clear. They didn't think of many things.
Pei Youjing's mind moved.
When came, the two agreed that the transfer fee would be 5,000 taels. Looking at the past friendship with the Pei family, Xiao Huo Xi would definitely agree.
Unexpectedly, Wan Jingyu only mentioned one thousand taels of favor fee as if he had forgotten.
Now that he has heard from little Huo Xi again, this wood purchase quota is actually a sweet bun? How about his Pei family doing this business?
Pei Youjing lowered her head and thought about the possibility of starting this business and the manpower available.
I heard Wan Jingyu say: "It's because I thought about it, we can discuss the matter of money."
Huo Xi glanced at him, feeling a little angry. Does this person think she is young and easy to fool? One thousand taels, I am ashamed to ask! Who do you look down upon?
Now she can go to the government to get a start-up fund with the wood picking document issued by the Ministry of Industry. With this fund, she will collect some wood from the shop, and then transport it to the Ministry of Industry for money. You can get one thousand taels.
She lacks the thousand taels?
It was quite lacking in the early years, but now she is not lacking at all. Now she can't see it.
Huo Xi lowered his head, thinking about the possibility of Guangfeng Shui operating this business.
Pei Youjing only took one look at her, and knew what the little girl was up to. He winked at Wan Jingyu.
Smiling Mimi said to Huo Xi: "Little Huo Xi, tell me what you think, brothers listen to you."
See you tomorrow~
