Shan Dai laughed happily, and then asked: "By the way, are we still going to school?"
Yamazaki shook his head and said: "We went to school to raise horses. Now that we have a place to raise horses, naturally we don't need to go to school."
Shan Dai clapped her hands happily and said with a smile: "Great, then I will play in the archway from now on."
Yamazaki was funny, "The whole archway is under your control, I'm going to read a book."
Shandai shook her head, "I can't control this, I just want to play."
Yamazaki said seriously: "We have become enemies, and we are still King Dongping. Be careful of being assassinated."
Shandai nodded seriously, "I understand, but brother, why are you doing this?"
Shan Dai laughed and joked, "Did you really fall in love with that beauty? She should have several children at that age, right?"
Yamazaki smiled and said: "I bet she didn't, otherwise she wouldn't be so public. No man likes such a beautiful wife to show her face in front of others."
"Are you sure?"
"Not sure, but I captured the archway of Lu Iron Palm because of the information here. There is nothing better than the archway."
"What do you want information for?"
Yamazaki whispered, "Iron fan."
Shandai said casually: "That's it? It doesn't matter whether you know it or not."
Yamazaki said seriously: "Also, judging from the general trend of the world, war is probably inevitable. I want to see if we can postpone it for a few years until we are stronger."
Shan Dai suddenly realized, "So it turns out that if King Dongping has enough weapons, he will probably raise an army soon. When the kings respond, the world will be in chaos. But now he can wait."
Yamazaki shook his head, "That's not entirely true. There are still maritime merchants like the Long family in the world. As long as there is still a way to transport weapons, it depends on what the court does."
Shandai scratched her head and said, "I can't worry about that much. I'm going to play. You can think about it slowly."
Yamazaki warned: "Be careful about assassins and be careful about what you eat."
"Know."
…
Shandai went to play, and Yamazaki summoned the directors of the archway to have a meeting in the backyard.
There are more than 20 men and women, the oldest is about sixty and the youngest is less than thirty.
Yamazaki handed over his hand and said, "Everyone, I'm new here, and by chance, I got involved in this matter."
"Thanks to the great love of the state officials, I have agreed to host this memorial arch."
Yamazaki took out the documents he had just received and asked everyone to circulate them.
Everyone looked at each other in shock, never expecting that this person was really from the government.
Yamazaki continued, "Everyone can see that I'm wearing makeup."
"I ask myself, I am young and have little knowledge. Although I am familiar with business management, I am not talented enough to manage the archway well."
"So, I am willing to share the memorial arch with everyone."
"But out of the ten percent, I must first leave 40% for me to honor the people behind me, and then I will take 10%."
"Among the remaining 50%, you still need to discuss how to maintain the operation of the archway, how to pay all the helpers, and how to divide the work between you, and come up with a solution that satisfies everyone."
A middle-aged man with a ring-shaped sword raised his hand and said, "Yi Dayong, the brave swordsman of a certain family, may I ask the master of the mountain, who is behind you?"
Yamazaki said, "Master Liang, the state official, must be counted. I won't say anything else. You don't need to know too much."
"Everyone here has nothing but kindness and money."
"There is no need to talk about kindness. I don't believe you now, and you don't believe me either."
"So let's talk about money. I think the 50% profit should be much more than what Lu Tiezhang gives you."
"Anyone who is not satisfied with this can leave."
The beauty in colorful clothes, about thirty years old, saluted, "Qiu Niang has met the master. What did the master say? If we leave, where will we find a generous master like you?"
Yamazaki Huan held up his hand and said, "In that case, you can talk slowly and find someone to take me around and introduce the situation."
"I want to see the accounts, and I also want to see Lu Tiezhang's family. If he has any, he must give them a share of money to settle down."
"Although I'm helping the court this time, I'm still a Jianghu person at heart. I tell Iron Palm that this is a life and death duel. As long as they don't come to take revenge, I won't plan to kill them all now."
"The head of the family," Qiuniang handed over her hand, "As far as I know, the head of the Lu family is not married. He probably knows that he is engaged in a desperate business."
The accountant smoothed his beard and said, "Speaking of which, his previous situation is really unclear. It's just that regardless of where he came from, no one thought that he would be in the dark."
Yamazaki waved his hand, "I won't go into details now. If we continue to investigate, we still don't know how many people with unknown origins are in this archway."
"I don't want to make everyone suspicious. As long as it doesn't affect business or make money, everyone can just muddle along."
"The wise man in charge of the house." A thin man handed over his hand, "I am Liu Yi, who is in charge of food and drink. He is known as a master of the house. When it comes to visiting the courtyard..."
"Let my people do it." A stout-looking man handed over his hand, "I am Cui Da, who is in charge of construction. I am the most familiar with matters in the courtyard."
Yamazaki held up his hand and said, "Okay, then you'll have some work."
…
The accounting office also sent someone to lead Yamazaki around the Wealth Access Archway.
The entire square is divided into five parts, inside and outside. On the outside are archways, restaurants, waterside pavilions and painted boats.
Inside are the dormitories, kitchen and warehouse for the guys, as well as the accommodation yard, including the guest yard.
The brave swordsman Yi Dayong manages the nursing home and looks after the archway.
Liu Yi is in charge of the restaurant, and Qiuniang is in charge of the women.
The money and accounts of the three stalls are all managed by the shopkeeper and the accountant. Only the accountant and the boss Lu Tiezhang know the final income and expenditure.
No one knows whether Lu Tiezhang has any other unrecorded transactions.
…
Yamazaki was actually not interested in the accounts. What he was really looking for was information.
In the end, they couldn't find it. After asking around the corner, Lu Tiezhang didn't collect any information.
Yamazaki didn't believe it, but it wasn't easy to ask, so he honestly looked at the accounts.
After flipping through it, I gave up because it was too complicated.
…
Yamazaki took people to find Shan Dai, went back to the restaurant to pick up luggage and lead the horse, and then stayed in Lu Tiezhang's courtyard.
It was a large courtyard on the seaside, a cloister complex, and a martial arts training ground with a rockery in the middle.
According to the builders, the reason why it was built this way was because of the sea breeze.
In this area, the vegetation and flowers in the open-air garden cannot survive at all and can only be placed in a room with good lighting, which must be able to block the sea breeze.
Yamazaki walked around and determined that there was something wrong with the yard.
First, there are no servants' rooms here, that is, the servants don't live here.
In other words, there are secrets here that you don’t want people to know.
The second is the martial arts training field in the middle of the corridor. The gravel in the field looks uneven.
And with the power of Lu Iron Palm, the force under his feet is enough to crush gravel during practice.
In other words, Lu Tiezhang actually did not practice martial arts in the yard all year round.
Then, where he lives in daily life is worthy of scrutiny.
…
Yamazaki didn't move much at this time. He looked around and then went back.
Calculating, it turns out that it takes a thousand steps to walk from the courtyard where I live to the archway meeting hall.
I am becoming more and more certain that there is an ulterior secret.
As Yamazaki walked, he found people greeting and saluting along the way. Most of them were very happy. Apparently the news of the salary increase had spread.
It's just that some people are still a little gloomy and try to force a smile.
Needless to say, that was another group of people from Lu Tiezhang.
Yamazaki looked at several people and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
