Hu Xiaotian said in his heart, you are a profiteer. Just stick your butt out and I will know what the hell you are doing. Bargaining is my strength. Hu Xiaotian didn’t even look at Cao Qianshan. He picked up the teacup and thought to himself, twenty taels, the dog said.
How about sending beggars away? The palace is so big, and the cost of vegetables for tens of thousands of people is a huge amount every day. Hu Xiaotian picked up the tea cup and slowly took a sip of tea: "Since Boss Cao is so nostalgic, why not wait for the future?"
Let’s do business with Wang Desheng.”
This sentence shocked Cao Qianshan to the point of breaking into a cold sweat. In the past, when Wang Desheng was in charge of purchasing, Cao Qianshan initially gave him a benefit of two hundred taels of silver per month. However, the young eunuch was also extremely greedy and recently gave him an increase of three hundred.
Cao Qianshan originally thought that Hu Xiaotian didn't know the rules, so he stretched out two fingers, but he didn't expect that Hu Xiaotian was so powerful. Cao Qianshan was afraid of offending the God of Wealth, so he hurriedly said: "Eunuch Hu, what do you think of three hundred taels per month?
?”
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but be surprised when he heard him report the real number of three hundred taels. He didn't expect that the oil and water purchased by the palace was so large. Three hundred taels, holy shit, this is just one of the merchants. If all these supplies
The merchants made a huge sum, and the monthly pocket money for bribes alone was as much as a thousand taels. No wonder Wang Desheng looked at him with such hatred, taking people's money and killing people's lives. To Wang Desheng, this was life and death.
The great hatred.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Boss Cao, you should understand that I serve the emperor in the palace. If the emperor is happy, I will naturally be happy. If the emperor is dissatisfied, we may have to kill him. On the surface, vegetables and fruits are
It is a small matter, but it is related to the health of the dragon, and it is a major matter related to the safety of the country."
Cao Qianshan nodded repeatedly and said: "Eunuch Hu, don't worry, we will select the fruits, vegetables and vegetables to send to the palace. We carefully select them and strictly control them."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Everyone has his own taste. The emperor has just ascended the throne. What does he like to eat? What does he not like to eat? Do you know that?"
Cao Qianshan was speechless when asked by Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Looking at so many places in Dakang, all the tribute vegetables and fruits pass through our Siyuan Bureau. We have to choose from thousands of ways to decide which fruits and vegetables will be finally brought to the emperor's table. We have to bear the responsibility.
Risky.”
Cao Qianshan said: "Eunuch Hu, I understand, I understand. As long as you place an order, I can guarantee that the best vegetables and fruits will be delivered to Siyuan Bureau."
Hu Xiaotian finally had a smile on his face: "I just said. I have my own rules. We people usually stay in the palace, and all our food and clothing are given by the emperor. Money is nothing to us.
The usefulness, let alone a few hundred taels, is just to give me a mountain of gold and silver. I have no interest in it. Besides, even if I am interested, I can't move to the palace."
Cao Qianshan finally understood. It was not that this new buyer was not shady, but that he was shady to the extreme. He was greedy to the extreme, and people would look down on such a small amount of money. For a moment, he didn't know how to deal with it.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I gave these lists to you first. If I am not wrong, these are the only things they want to talk about later. Boss Cao, if you are worried about making a fuss about me, why not think more about how to deal with it?"
Once these things are done, I have a proposal."
Cao Qianshan said: "Eunuch Hu, please speak."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I will contact you for these things from now on. I have no interest or energy to contact other people. Boss Cao can always do this, okay?" He handed all the pile of orders to Cao Qianshan.
Cao Qianshan took it with both hands and was quite flattered. In fact, fruits and vegetables are not separated into separate categories. In the past, Wang Desheng separated the purchase orders in order to extract as much oil and water as possible, so that everyone could benefit. And everyone wanted to get as much as possible.
I will give gifts to Wang Desheng in comparison with each other.
A person like Hu Xiaotian can see something fishy at a glance. When it comes to accepting bribes, you must not cast a wide net. If any link goes wrong, it may cause trouble. Hu Xiaotian has just entered the palace and has been favored by Liu Yuzhang. It was not easy to get it.
As a eunuch, he didn't want to lose a lot for a small amount of money.
Cao Qianshan said with some excitement: "Eunuch Hu trusts me so much... I will definitely do my best to do these things for my father-in-law in the future."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "That's wrong. You are not doing things for me, but for the emperor. If you get along with me for a long time, you will know that I am actually a very easy-to-talk person. What you businessmen want is profits, and I want them."
It’s the emperor’s favor and the superior’s trust. We each get what we need and help each other. It’s great to be friends.”
Cao Qianshan has been impressed by the maturity and skill shown by this young eunuch. Comparing people to death, and comparing goods to goods, compared with Wang Desheng and Hu Xiaotian before, their horizons are simply in the sky and on the earth.
Liu Yuzhang came back on time. Hu Xiaotian also finished everything, got on the carriage, smiled and saluted Liu Yuzhang: "Hello, Eunuch Liu."
Liu Yuzhang said: "Is everything done?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded: "After it's done, they will send the fruits and vegetables to the palace early tomorrow morning."
Liu Yuzhang asked: "Did you get any benefits?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I promised, but I gave it back."
Liu Yuzhang said casually: "Why?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "You have to make money in the open. This kind of money is too risky."
Liu Yuzhang's almost narrowed eyes suddenly became brighter. He looked at Hu Xiaotian with admiration. Unexpectedly, this boy spoke so frankly. He nodded slowly and said: "The Za family really did not misjudge you. After all, you are a descendant of a noble family.
His vision is different from that of those little eunuchs. Little Dezi is greedy by nature, and I have heard more than once about how he harmed the public and enriched himself. In fact, there is nothing wrong with loving money, but we eunuchs have eunuch rules. There is a kind of money that must not be taken.
He thought he was taking money from these businessmen, but actually he was taking money from the emperor. It is unkind and unjust for him to be a slave."
Hu Xiaotian nodded, suddenly realizing that Liu Yuzhang was not as confused as he showed.
Liu Yuzhang yawned and said, "With no relatives, no children, and no children, what's the use of giving us a golden mountain?" He closed his eyes and said, "But it doesn't hurt to have something to eat and drink."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Eunuch Liu, don't worry, I will do the purchasing properly in the future."
"I can rest assured that you are doing things well. Your father is so smart and capable, so naturally your son is no different. By the way, Wang Desheng looked at you a little unkindly today. You should be more careful with him in the future." The old eunuch looked confused on the surface.
In fact, I have a bright mind.
Hu Xiaotian had a smooth start when he came to Siyuan Bureau. He worked conscientiously in his purchasing position. The eunuchs brought from Shangshan Supervisor quickly united closely around him and formed his core team in Siyuan Bureau.
Liu Yuzhang observed for a few days and found that Hu Xiaotian did not disappoint him, so he left the purchasing to him.
In fact, the purchasing work is not complicated. Every day, orders from various places in the palace are collected and classified, and then according to the inventory cost of the Siyuan Bureau, regular purchases are made outside the palace. The time is often variable, ranging from two days to five days.
Of course there are times when I have to leave the palace every day.
There is also the knowledge of purchasing, and seasonal fruits and vegetables should be purchased as little as possible. Of course, if the emperor or a favored concubine suddenly has a whim, or wants to eat lychees and pineapples in winter, or winter bamboo shoots in summer, there is a Siyuan Bureau
If they have a headache, some situations can be explained, but some situations must be dealt with, so they try to reduce their troubles as much as possible.
Within a few days of Hu Xiaotian's arrival, he had made the Siyuan Bureau's procurement work a success. While his ability was appreciated by many people, he was also jealous of many, and Wang Desheng was one of them.
Hu Xiaotian never understood why Wang Desheng had embezzled so much money, but Liu Yuzhang let him go and just transferred him to the garden. Later he found out that Wang Desheng had two brothers, and his brother Wang Decai was also working in the palace.
He is a popular person around Queen Jane.
Although Shi Xuedong begged Hu Xiaotian to take him out of the palace to do shopping, Hu Xiaotian never nodded. He still understood Shi Xuedong's temperament to some extent. Shi Xuedong was not satisfied with his current life. Once he had the opportunity to leave the palace, it would be difficult to guarantee
Will this guy come back? Hu Xiaotian has just established a foothold in the Siyuan Bureau, and he cannot take risks easily. It does not take too much effort to deal with Shi Xuedong. He blames everything on Liu Yuzhang and only talks about Eunuch Liu.
I don’t agree. Anyway, with Shi Xuedong’s current status, it is impossible for him to speak to Eunuch Liu.
Hu Xiaotian clearly understands the seriousness of the matter and understands that it is still a sensitive period and that he cannot have any contact with his parents. Although he has gone out of the palace many times to buy things, he has never taken the initiative to contact his family, and even he even contacted Murong
Feiyan and Zhanpeng have never met either.
Another half month passed in a blink of an eye, and it was finally the time he and Murong Feiyan had agreed to meet in advance. Hu Xiaotian had made preparations a few days in advance, and just scheduled the trip to the palace for today, so he took it with him when he went out.
Xiao Zhuozi and Xiao Dengzi, these two little eunuchs were also brought over by him from the Shangshan Supervisor's stable. Although Xiao Zhuozi was slapped hard by Hu Xiaotian at first, now he is good at observing words and emotions and is loyal.
His performance won the respect of Hu Xiaotian and he became one of his confidants.
Shi Xuedong could only watch the three of them leave.
After leaving the palace, Xiao Zhuozi spoke to Hu Xiaotian and said, "Eunuch Hu, I recently heard that Wang Desheng repeatedly made nonsense and said that he wanted to teach my father-in-law a lesson."
Hu Xiaotian smiled calmly and said: "We don't need to take the rumors too seriously."
Little Dengzi said: "Father, I think this matter should not be taken lightly."
Hu Xiaotian said with great interest: "In your opinion, what should it be?"
Xiao Dengzi smiled and said: "I can't say for sure, but I think we should strike first."
