How did a street urchin from the film crew end up in a Northern Song Dynasty drama called "The

Immediately afterward, Jin Shuai said with a smile, "I have another matter I would like to trouble you with." Upon hearing this, Huang Men's expression instantly changed. However, Jin Shuai reassured him, "Don't panic, I just want to ask you... where are those people now?"

After a slight hesitation, the eunuch replied, "Your Majesty, His Majesty considers that they are advanced in age and would have difficulty making a living if they left the palace. Therefore, most of them are kept in the palace to do some trivial tasks or to teach newcomers, etc."

Jin Shuai continued with a smile, asking, "If I could find them a job outside, would they be willing to leave the palace?" Faced with this question, the young eunuch replied with a troubled expression, "My lord, keeping them privately... that might be inappropriate."

"Stop spouting nonsense! I'm only doing this to provide them with stable jobs so that the people of the Song Dynasty can have meat to eat. When you get back, remember to tell the Emperor everything. After all, they are craftsmen, and they should be able to live like ordinary people. They can then pass on their skills to apprentices, so they can have a secure life in their old age," Jin Shuai said earnestly.

Before he could finish speaking, the eunuch suddenly knelt down with a thud, a move that startled General Jin. The eunuch said, "Thank you so much, Your Excellency, for your great kindness in finding a way out for us eunuchs! Yesterday, after Lady Dong returned to the palace, His Majesty praised this act, saying it was a way to save lives for women leaving the palace. Your Excellency, my kneeling today is on behalf of all the eunuchs to express our gratitude to you."

Jin Shuai quickly reached out to help the eunuch up, saying, "Please get up quickly, there's no need for such formalities. To be honest, it's just that we didn't find the right method before. You should go back to the palace first and inform the Emperor about this matter. I can arrange jobs for those eunuchs who have left the palace. Let a few skilled in castration come over first, and we can discuss the follow-up matters later."

The eunuch nodded repeatedly in agreement, then rose to take his leave and hurried away. At this moment, the steward stepped forward to report that the broker had arrived and they could depart.

Within the bustling city of Tokyo, people came and went in a lively atmosphere. In the heart of the city stood the imposing Baifanlou, a striking sight. At that moment, a magnificent carriage slowly came to a stop. The door opened, and Li Wei stepped out first. He greeted the group that followed with a broad smile, bowing respectfully, and announced loudly, “My lord, look! This street is the most vibrant place in Tokyo! Behold Baifanlou, its business is booming! The restaurant across the street is practically deserted, lifeless. That’s why its owner is looking to sell it. And it’s not just that one; several other restaurants nearby are also interested in selling.”

Upon hearing this, Jin Shuai looked up with interest and began to examine Baifanlou. His sharp eyes carefully observed the surrounding environment and architectural layout. Then, he turned to look at the restaurant opposite, which was equally impressive, with three floors and an estimated area of ​​about two thousand square meters; the buildings on either side were also three stories high, each estimated to be about twelve hundred square meters. Jin Shuai frowned slightly and asked, "What are the prices of these properties?"

Li Wei quickly replied, "Your Excellency, I have already inquired. The restaurant in the middle that is eager to get rid of its business is asking for five thousand strings of cash, while the two on the left and right should not exceed three thousand strings of cash in total."

Jin Shuai's lips curled into a sly smile as he instructed, "Go and talk to them. Tell them the royal family wants to buy these properties, and make sure you get the lowest possible price. If they refuse to sell... hehe!" At this point, Jin Shuai chuckled meaningfully.
