Han Tuozhou came here to remind Mao Geng specifically, which moved Mao Geng very much. I don’t know if it was Zhao Yan’s meaning or Han Tuozhou himself had this kindness. In short, this kindness is really gratifying.

When going to Chameng City, Chen Liang was the most suitable candidate, but I wonder if Chen Liang was willing to go to the wild country. As for the matter Chen Liang was responsible for in Xinhua, Wen Yuan has now cut off the road to promotion in the officialdom, but he can go back to Xinhua to take over the business. When the conditions are ripe, he should move to Taiwan and move to Taiwan. What should be left behind will be left behind. Wen Yuan will come to Lin'an to be his "Director of the Beijing Office" at that time.

Now, we must notify Chen Liang to come to Lin'an as soon as possible. In any case, this city-shaking project is much more complicated than domestic projects, and we need to discuss a proper way in advance. I wonder if the delivery of a pigeon can come in time.

After seeing Han Tuozhou away, Mao Geng and the other two went to Sanyuan Building as planned.

Unlike Jincui Building, which focuses on nobleness and elegance, Sanyuan Building pays more attention to fashion and trends. If Jincui Building is an academic style, then Sanyuan Building is a representative of liberalism. In the words of later generations, Sanyuan Building is more down-to-earth. Therefore, wealthy businessmen like Cai Jianwen are more willing to come to Sanyuan Building to spend. Foreign friends like Zou Yalian have very limited appreciation of the academic school art of the Song Dynasty, so they also prefer the unconventional style of Sanyuan Building.

The performance programs in Sanyuanlou are already extremely rich, and now two new songs have been added. Among these two new songs, the melody of "Yu Meiren" is sung by Shen Weibing and Shen Xingshou with a melodious voice, and the charm is particularly long. The song "Smile of the Sea" is performed by Shen Xingshou. Although it lacks the passion and generosity, it also has a unique flavor. After singing the two songs, they won the cheers of a lot of applause.

Although Mao Geng felt that it was good, he felt more regretful. He remembered only a handful of songs, and there were fewer ones who could sing well. Otherwise, he could make greater contributions to the enrichment of the performing arts of the Song Dynasty. It was a pity! It seemed that his contribution in this regard was destined to be very limited.

Zou Yalian had heard Shen Xingshou's singing once before. This was the second time he had listened to the song, but he was still intoxicated.

The four of them were drinking while listening to music. In order to express their gratitude to Sanyuanlou for half selling and half sending beautiful maids, Mao Geng also passed on the distillation method to Sanyuanlou. Therefore, Sanyuanlou's wine includes two types: ordinary water and strong aroma and strong aroma. Today Zou Yalian was very excited, so of course he chose strong aroma and strong aroma, including beautiful colors and singing and dancing wine. Today, both sides were in high spirits, and the guests and hosts were coming and going, drinking too much without realizing it.

Wen Yuan's alcohol tolerance was not bad, but now he began to get drunk. At this time, he got up and staggered to go to Xiaojie. Among them, Cai Jianwen was the most moderate drinking, and the one who drank the least among the four, so he was still quite sober. Cai Jianwen said with concern:

"Brother Wen, it's okay! Do you want to let the maid serve you?"

Wen Yuan smiled and said:

"How can I get drunk like this if I have some wine! It's okay!"

Wen Yuan walked out swayingly, one light and one heavy, but his mind was still awake. After the small answer, he walked back swayingly.

Unexpectedly, a beautiful woman stopped her way halfway. The woman gave a gift and said:

"Mr. Wen, the little girl is very presumptuous and wants to ask Mr. Wen to talk to her. The little girl is Sun Feier's close friend. She has to talk to Mr. Wen about Sister Sun."

When Wen Yuan heard that it was Sun Feier's sister, he lost his guard and followed the woman into a hall.

Strangely, there were two men sitting in the hall. Wen Yuan calmed down, but saw that one of them had a curly and thick beard and looked fierce. Wen Yuan immediately wanted to withdraw when he saw this.

But the two men immediately stood up to greet each other, and one of them kept them and said:

"Mr. Wen, don't rush to leave. Although our move is a bit abrupt, we have no malice. We just want to invite Mr. Wen to come over to discuss a business. I am Yelu Jing, the deputy envoy of the Jin Kingdom. If you offend Mr. Wen, please ask Mr. Wen Haihan! Come on, please come to the seat!"

Wen Yuan didn't know what the Jin people were going to make up for him, so he suddenly became alert and said:

"It turns out it's Mr. Yelu, but business matters, so I can talk about it tomorrow and say goodbye!"

Wen Yuan was about to leave, and the fierce guy was already blocking the front. Yelu Jing waved his hand to the fierce guy, asked him to retreat, and then smiled at Wen Yuan:

"Mr. Wen, we are sincere, why not sit down and talk! You don't have to worry, we are the envoys of the Jin Kingdom. Can we still make things difficult for Mr. Wen?"

Wen Yuan thought for a while and said:

"It's better to obey your orders than respect!" He turned around and followed the female servant here to tell her to go to Mao Geng to tell her that she would stay here for a while.

After Wen Yuan sat down, Yelu Jing made a clear idea and asked Wen Yuan directly to buy cement.

It turned out that after the launch of cement in the Song Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty learned about the magic of cement and wanted to buy cement through the second dealers of the Song Dynasty. However, cement was in short supply in the Song Dynasty. The price of cement purchased by the Jin Dynasty was high. In addition to the price not less than 20 cents per kilogram, the amount of cement purchased from smuggling channels was pitifully small. The Jin Dynasty delegation proposed to the Song Dynasty to purchase time tables and cement. Yang Wanli implemented the matter of trading time tables, but the matter of cement was pushed out, and Yelu Jing could not do so, so he had to find an opportunity to find Mao Geng Wenyuan directly.

On that day at Zhou Bida Mansion, Yang Wanli had already greeted Mao Geng and Wenyuan, which was related to the diplomacy of the Song and Jin countries. Mao Wen and Wen wanted to avoid discussing business with the Jin people, so Mao Wen and they agreed. Afterwards, the Jin people also went to the courtyard where Mao Geng and Wenyuan lived, but were rejected at this gate. Yelu Jing also knew that as an envoy of the Jin Kingdom, there were many concerns and could not do whatever he wanted, so he had to return in a bad mood.

Today, when he learned that Mao Geng and his party had arrived at Sanyuan Tower, Yelu Jing rushed to Sanyuan Tower, then used a brief plan and finally sent Wen Yuan over.

Logically, Wen Yuan should have refused to discuss business with the Jin people in one go, but Wen Yuan personally participated in a major foreign-related transaction in the afternoon. The transaction with Chameng was very successful. Moreover, according to Han Tuozhou, it seemed that the government did not object, but also encouraged it very much. Wen Yuan experienced today's incident and drank a little too much, so he no longer took Yang Wanli's words seriously, thinking that since he could discuss business with Chameng people, he could naturally talk with the Jin people.

Yelu Jing wanted to buy cement, and it was one million kilograms at the first time. Yelu Jing's price was very high, twenty cents per kilogram, which was really touching. But Wenyuan immediately thought that even if it was twenty cents per kilogram, one million kilograms of cement would be only twenty thousand kilograms, which was just a drop in the bucket compared to the transaction with Chameng. In addition, cement supply is now in short supply, and the buyer is a gold man who collects 300,000 taels of silver from the Song Dynasty every year. Wenyuan felt that he should take advantage of the gold man.

Wen Yuan looked at Yelu Jing in front of him and thought to himself that I wouldn’t kill you well. I am really ashamed of the people of the Song Dynasty and the relatives who died while smuggling through the Huai River that day.

Wen Yuan had wine to enhance his courage and became more courageous. He said:

"Mr. Yelu, I'm very sorry! Our cement is in short supply at present. Not to mention one million pounds, I'm afraid there is no place to buy it if it's ten thousand pounds."

Of course, Wen Yuan had the next one. Wen Yuan admired Yelu Jing's ugly face very comfortably and said:

"But, Mr. Yelu, if you have to buy cement, there is no way."

Yelu Jing was delighted when he heard this. As long as he could buy bulk cement, the price would be higher. Cement was so powerful when building a city. The great gold was determined to win, so Yelu Jing had long been enlightened to not be afraid of being slaughtered. At this moment, Yelu Jing thought Wenyuan was going to raise prices on the pretext of raising prices. It was not important to raise prices, and it would not be outrageous if it was raised again. Humph! I am not afraid of you raising prices!

Yelu Jing hurriedly asked:

"What's the solution for Mr. Wen?"

Wen Yuan saw Yelu Jingdong asking, deliberately paused for a beat before saying:

"Have Mr. Yelu heard of West China Construction Company?"

Yelu Jing didn't understand what Wen Yuan was going to say, but he answered honestly:

"I have heard of this West China Construction Company for a long time. Isn't its director the famous Chen Liang?"

Wenyuan said you just need to know, so Wenyuan recommended:

"Since Mr. Yelu knows about West China Construction Company, I might as well give Mr. Yelu an idea. Let me reveal first that West China Construction Company can buy cement first, and there is no need to queue up. Therefore, Mr. Yelu might as well go to Chen Liang. However, I have to remind Mr. Yelu that West China Construction Company is a specialist in building houses. If Mr. Yelu wants to build a castle, West China Construction Company will also have this strength. Mr. Yelu, I wonder if you understand what I mean?"

Yelu Jing's brain was a little short-circuited, and he was a little dizzy by Wen Yuan, so he had to ask:

"Mr. Wen means ---?"

Wen Yuan explained:

"Mr. Yelu naturally needs to use cement to build houses, castles, or palaces. Whether it is building houses, castles or palaces, West China Construction Company can contract labor and materials for you to build, and the cost is reasonable and it is not too despicable. Therefore, I think Mr. Yelu doesn't have to buy cement at all, just contract the house, castle and palace to be built to West China Company. Of course, this does not need to be like this for a long time. As long as the cement can be supplied, maybe one or two years, maybe three or four years, you can buy cement and build it yourself, and it will not be too late."

Yelu Jing was a little angry and was about to break out, but Wen Yuan said at least in terms of reason, so he had to sulk in his heart.

Seeing Yelu Jing's face was unhesitant, Wen Yuan continued to lobby like a lobbying customer:

"Mr. Yelu, I am bluntly speaking, even if you buy cement, you may not be familiar with the method of using cement. Mr. Yelu, according to your opinion, how about the 'Diaoyutai' built by West China Construction Company in Lin'an?"

The model building was named "Diaoyutai", which was really Mao Geng's bad taste. Of course, the model building was used for fishing, but this is the name, where would the future customers be located? However, the business of the West China Construction Company was so good, so Mao Geng didn't care much. He specially asked Lu You to write the three big words "Diaoyutai", made a plaque, and hung it in front of the new building.

Yelu Jing heard Wen Yuan say this and thinks it makes sense. As long as you see this Diaoyutai is so beautiful and grand, it is really not something that ordinary people can build.

Yelu Jing's face looked a little better at this time, and he sincerely praised:

"Who doesn't know Diaoyutai in Lin'an today, and who doesn't know it! Its magnificent nature is of course the best in Lin'an."

Wen Yuan heard this and felt even more passionate in his heart, saying proudly:

"Well! When it comes to building houses, build this and that, who else can compare to the West China Construction Company in the world! As long as you are willing to spend money, West China Construction Company can build the best house in the world, and you don't have to worry about it at all. Mr. Yelu, tell me, where can I find such a good thing! It's not that I, Wen, boasted that there are so many people who want to build a house in West China. At least half a year later. If the Jin Kingdom only built dozens of hundreds of houses, Chen Liang might not be able to take a look. Oh, I mean, the Jin Kingdom would not only build a hundred and tens of dozens of houses! I was thinking, if the Jin Kingdom wanted to build a lot of houses, if the house built at one time was worth more than ten or two hundred taels of silver, Chen Liang might be interested in buying it. It is said that good houses are built by West China, not everyone can invite West China Construction Company to build a house. Mr. Yelu, the opportunity is rare! It is absolutely not to be missed."

Yelu Jing was both angry and funny, but the saying "Good houses, built in West China" is not an exaggeration. The Jin Kingdom could not build a gorgeous building like "Diaoyutai", so Yelu Jing could not refuse this matter at all.

Therefore, although Yelu Jing was unable to calm down, he still had room for words:

"What Mr. Wen said is not without reason. One day, I really want to ask Chen Liang to help build a house. Let's talk about it then!"

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and then three strange men walked in. When they saw Wen Yuan, they told Wen Yuan that Mao Geng was looking for him everywhere at this time. Then, without saying a word, he helped Wen Yuan and walked out.

Wen Yuan didn't know who these people were, so he naturally refused to listen to their mercy at first, but then one of them took out a sign and whispered to Wen Yuan a few more words. Wen Yuan realized that the court was sending someone to protect him. Wen Yuan thought about it, and then he thought that the maid might not have told Mao Geng that he was here at all, so Mao Geng thought he had lost his tracks, so these people from the public immediately appeared.

After Wen Yuan saw Mao Geng, the two of them decided to understand that they had been secretly tracked and protected by the court when they had been sent by someone to secretly follow and protect.
