I'm playing tricks in Daqin

"Your Majesty, I am willing to use my life to help you fulfill your ambition!"

"Okay, you and my monarch and ministers join hands, and those who dare to block the way will be killed without mercy!"

Li Wei said it happily, but when encountering real problems, he really couldn't kill them all at once.

Not to mention that killing Zheng Xiangze would reveal his identity, making him unable to continue his private visits and continue to discover the hidden problems of Daqin. Even if he went all out to do it, the emperor would not be able to kill a county with real power and a large network of connections without any evidence. Shou.

As for dealing with Li Wei, Zheng Xiangze didn't even have to do it himself. The existence of the orphanage affects the future of all officials in Jinghuai County, and Li Wei has become a public enemy in the officialdom of Jinghuai County.

In the early morning of the second day, Ma Minjun, who was full of energy, found Li Wei, and excitedly showed the design drawing of the orphanage that he had drawn all night.

There are many rockery, gardens, artificial lakes, pavilions, and even a large playground for children to play games. The dormitories are neat and tidy, even more luxurious than Wenyang Houfu.

Hearing Ma Minjun's introduction, Li Wei's face became more and more ugly.

"How about my design? If you think it's not good, draw a cross and I'll modify it."

"Look at this blueprint, one fork is enough."

Hearing this, Ma Minjun immediately showed a bright smile on his face. His hard work all night was not in vain. There was only one flaw in the design of the orphanage, and he was indeed a design genius.

But Ma Minjun's smile froze quickly, Li Wei did only make a cross, but this cross was really too big, it was so big that it covered the whole picture.

The entire blueprint is covered by a big red cross.

"What do you mean?"

"Everything that is desirable in this picture is directly rejected."

The complacent Ma Minjun was splashed with a bucket of cold water, and his complexion immediately changed.

"Li Wei, what do you mean by that! Tell me clearly!"

"We're going to build an orphanage, not a palace. What are you doing with so many useless things?"

"I want to give children a better living environment!"

"Do you think they need a soft one or a rockery that can only be seen?"

After being stunned for a while, Ma Minjun said angrily, "Then tell me, how will you cover it?"

"Simple, all the houses are built on two floors, the children stay, all the rockeries are canceled and turned into vegetable gardens, the artificial lake is not dug, here is a school, and the gazebo is a canteen."

"Vegetable garden? Are you trying to save money?"

"Of course, I want to open orphanages all over Daqin. Saving a little means I can open many more homes."

Hearing Li Wei's words, Ma Minjun rolled his eyes and didn't bother to say anything. In her heart, Li Wei had become a big talker.

Ma Minjun felt that it was impossible to take in all the children in Jinghuai County who could not be raised by their families, let alone open orphanages all over the world. A big talker.

Chapter 676

After the sudden drop in favor towards Li Wei, Ma Minjun lost much interest, at this time Li Renhe hurried in.

"Your Majesty, my lord, Zhang Jinying is here and told me something happened."

"Zhang Jinying? Who is it?"

"A businessman, go and have a look."

Seeing Li Wei and Ma Minjun coming out, Zhang Jinying hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"Tell me, what happened?"

"My lord, I'm really ashamed to say this, the price of wood needs to go up a bit."

"How much?"

Seeing Zhang Jinying stretch out two fingers, Li Wei frowned and said, "Twenty percent?"

"No, it's going to double the price."

After making the decision to build the orphanage, Li Wei sent someone to find Zhang Jinying, the largest timber merchant in Jinghuai County. He had seen the timber yesterday, negotiated the price, and waited for Zhang Jinying to deliver the goods. Open your mouth, the price doubled directly.

Before Li Wei could speak, the angry Li Renhe drew out his waist knife and put it around his neck.

"You profiteer, dare to blackmail!"

"No, the sword has no eyes. If your hands shake, I will die, and you will not survive. We are talking about business now, not kidnapping by bandits. If you have this attitude, then there is no way to talk."

After waving Li Renhe to put away his weapon, Li Wei asked coldly: "You have to have a reason for raising the price, right?"

"It's not to make trouble for no reason. In fact, there are many places that need wood recently, and the supply is in short supply. I am a businessman. I will offend people if I sell it to anyone or not. I have no choice but to raise the price. Whoever has the highest price gets it. I am reluctant to pay for it." , and I can only blame myself."

Ma Minjun frowned and said, "I haven't heard of anyone who wants to build a large building, and where does anyone want wood?"

"Hehe, there are some things you can't say about business matters. The price of wood has doubled. Do you want it or not?"

It was hard for me to have a serious business, and when I encountered difficulties before I started, Ma Minjun said with some dissatisfaction: "You can figure out who to deliver the goods to, and I'm not afraid to tell you, the director of this orphanage is me, you are here If you are doing business in Jinghuai County, you must have heard of the Marquis of Wenyang's Mansion."

Ma Minjun wanted to overwhelm others with power, but Zhang Jinying heard what she said was a big joke, so he laughed wantonly.

"I thought it was a big deal to hit a big shot, but I was scared to death."

"How dare you humiliate the Marquis of Wenyang!"

"If the dignitaries of Daqin, let alone the marquis, even the earl, the viscount, and me, a commoner merchant, would go to flatter me, but you? It's just a group of subjugated ministers. The court only pities you in order to stabilize the people's hearts. It's really embarrassing. Have you become a character yourself?"

"Marquis Wen Yang can't do it, so what about me?"

Li Wei sneered.

"You? Hehe, I'm doing business with you, can I not inquire clearly? I know, you are a clan member, but you are only a clan member. If you dare to mess around, those red-eyed censors in the court who are always thinking about fame They can drown you with a memorial directly! To tell you the truth, I, Zhang Jinying, am a businessman, but I am also a businessman with a background and backing. Your price is too light, and the price is doubled. Do you want to buy it or not?"

In business, it is normal for the price to fluctuate, but it can be doubled directly. Even the debt of Hades with huge interest is not so terrible. Zhang Jinying made it clear that it was blackmail.

"Go away, I don't want to see you again."

"Haha, okay, remember, you told me to get out today, and I will make you kneel in front of me in the future, begging me to continue doing business with you."

"Dare to humiliate my lord, don't dare, grandpa will kill you!"

Li Renhe said viciously.

"I, get out, Mr. Li, remember my words, without Zhang Jinying's nod, you can't even buy a piece of wood in Jinghuai County, even if you want to buy it from other places, you can't get it in without Zhang Jinying's nod, goodbye .”

With a cold snort, Zhang Jinying raised his head and left proudly.

"I was deceived!"

Li Wei asked curiously: "Did Zhang Jinying lie to you too?"

"It was the books that lied to me. The books said that businessmen, peasants, businessmen, and businessmen are the lowest. But today, I saw how lowly businessmen are. They dared to ride on our necks...that."

"It's okay, I don't believe it. In the huge Jinghuai County, if you leave Zhang Jinying, you won't be able to buy wood. Li Renhe, take someone with you, and let's go out for a walk."

"You guys go, I'll go home too, the Marquis of Wenyang's mansion has been established for hundreds of years, I don't believe it, I have money in my hand, but I can't buy wood anymore!"

Ma Minjun gritted his teeth and said.

"What the hell is this?"

Ma Minjun, who originally wanted to ask his father for help, found a piece of paper under the books on the table in the study, and pulled it out curiously.

"Medical certificate? Who is sick, me? Terminally ill!"

Ma Minjun was a little flustered, how could such a family like himself live a simple life like this?

Ma Minjun fell to the ground, not daring to look at the name on the medical certificate. He was really afraid of seeing something that he didn't dare to look at, so he sat on the ground for a long time before recovering.

"When did I become terminally ill? Isn't this a curse!"

Ma Minjun stumbled out of the study, wanting to go out to find his father and ask him clearly, who knew that he bumped into his father who happened to be back.

"What are you doing? You're in a panic, girls need to look good!"

Ma Chuanan happened to catch Ma Minjun, and seeing Ma Minjun so flustered and out of his mind, he couldn't help criticizing him.

"Father, I happened to be looking for you! Look at the medical certificate, it says that I have a terminal illness, isn't that a curse on me!"

"Where did you find this medical certificate?"

Ma Chuanan asked Ma Minjun.

"Father, now it's not a question of where I found this medical certificate, but now it's a question of the medical certificate saying that I'm terminally ill. Father, how could I be terminally ill!"

"Adults, you, a child, don't worry about it!"

"But it says I'm terminally ill, Dad, why do you have such a medical certificate at home? Did you make it up? Why did you make such a medical certificate?"

Ma Minjun asked reluctantly.

"Oh, just leave it alone."

"No, you have to explain to me clearly today, I can't let you go like this."

Ma Minjun blocked Ma Chuan'an's way, and wanted to ask Ma Chuan'an for an explanation.

Ma Chuanan watched Ma Minjun block his way, went to the living room and sat down, with a serious face, but he didn't intend to answer.

"Father, what's going on?"

"I just want to leave for a while, I can't find a reason, and I forged a medical certificate.

Don't think too much, no one wants to curse you. "

How can my father do any business? Even if he is in business, what does it have to do with me if he wants to leave?

Ma Minjun couldn't help becoming more suspicious.

"Father, what's wrong with our family?"

"Don't worry, it's nothing, just a little problem."

"What's the problem, Dad, we are a family, you have to tell me what happened."

Ma Minjun's character of breaking the casserole and asking the end really hasn't changed at all.

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious."

Ma Chuanan hugged Ma Minjun.

"What's the matter? You have to tell me, since you want me to leave, and it's in exchange for my terminal illness, it's definitely not easy, and it must be to the point where you have to leave."

Ma Minjun's thinking was rare and clear, hitting the nail on the head, and Ma Chuan'an was not given a chance to breathe.

"It's okay, you stay at ease, don't worry about anything!"

Ma Minjun suddenly realized something, but he couldn't believe that the other party was his father.

"Are you going to rebel?"

Besides, Ma Minjun really couldn't think of any reason for his father to use this method to send him away.

Hearing Ma Minjun's words, Ma Chuanan's body froze suddenly.

And his reaction obviously told Ma Minjun the answer. These nobles from the former Tang Dynasty missed how good the Tang Dynasty was all day long, complained about how bad the Qin Kingdom was, and from time to time said that they would restore the Tang Dynasty. Complaints, but they didn't expect that they would dare to make any moves.

"It seems that I was right, Dad. Now Daqin is the co-lord of the world. When Tang was still there, he was no match for the Qin army. Now that the country is gone, if you want to cause chaos, wouldn't you be looking for your own death?"

"I want you to leave it alone, didn't you hear me? If you have anything to ask, as long as the house can provide you with food and clothing, it's fine. Don't hang around in front of my eyes. You're so annoying. Go back to your room."

Ma Chuan'an was really impatient.

"Father! What's the matter?"

"roll!"

Ma Chuanan didn't want to talk anymore, he pushed Ma Minjun onto the chair, walked back to the study, and closed the door heavily, leaving Ma Minjun alone.

On the commercial street in the county city, "The silver is all here, you can check it."

Gabitu handed the money to Guo Jiushen, then sat down to drink tea and waited.

Guo Jiushen inspected it and found that the silver was not pure, and it was far from enough according to the agreement.

"Your silver is impure. If you have agreed to exchange it before the double amount, you still need to discount it. What you gave is far from enough. You have to give me some more to make up the price difference."

"what?"

After hearing this, Gabitu stood up abruptly, his nostrils opened and closed, looking very interesting, "Didn't you say you want these? Why can't you say enough now?"

Guo Jiushen shrugged helplessly, "I didn't know that your silver was not pure. If you were like normal silver, there would be no problem. If it was impure, there would be no way to convert it according to the originally established amount."

"You're clearly trying to blackmail. You can do as much as you agreed before. Why don't you say enough when I get it? I don't know if you're cheating over there!"
