For that kind of one-time transaction, as long as it is only 10,000 taels, Gao Pragmatic has rarely calculated carefully, so he doesn't care about the price code of Jingnan Shuiyi, a post man who crosses the Three Gorges against the river into the Sichuan, from Jingzhou to Kuizhou, and covers all the costs of a total of 1,100 taels of silver.

But Zhang Jianxiu was quite dissatisfied, he was the least favorite of the Zhang family's brothers, and he didn't have much taste when he spoke, so he actually began to break his fingers and settle accounts with that Yicheng in front of Gao Pragmatic.

"If it weren't for the fact that you also happen to be surnamed Zhang, the fourth master, I would have slapped you a long time ago" Zhang Jianxiu said hatefully, "Come on, come on, the fourth master and you will calculate, the waterway from Jingzhou to Kuizhou is less than seven hundred miles in total, and you receive one thousand and one hundred taels, that is, it costs one or two or six dollars of silver to walk a mile What is the price of the slender man, I don't know what the price is, I have work every day for a month, can I take two taels of silver."

I don't have so much trouble with you, even if you use two hundred slender men, two taels of silver per person, it will only be four hundred taels. This 700-mile waterway, you will need a fucking month to deliver"

The post man hurriedly said, "Master Zhang, this account can't just be calculated like this, our water post can also prepare food for the guests, and the food of the slender man is also prepared by the water post with the boat, this time there are a lot of people, Miss Liu and his party are about 200 people, and the slender man also needs 200 people, Miss Liu herself is a distinguished guest, her food must be prepared separately in a small stove, this is not a matter of cost."

Zhang Jianxiu's eyelids rolled, "Fourth master, I will double you, eight hundred taels, it's enough" and then paused, leaned closer, and said in a low voice, "You kid, don't play tricks with the fourth master, you fucking will use two hundred slender men to have a hundred full amounts of your conscience, besides, what kind of things are those slender men eating, when the fourth master, I don't know which year's rotten rice is not easy to say, and you have to mix some chaff in it, so you are embarrassed to count the money."

Na Yicheng swallowed and spitted, glanced around, and said with a dry smile: "Fourth master, it's not good if you say that, you have to spend money to buy it." ”

Zhang Jianxiu's face turned cold, "I'll just ask you, eight hundred taels, don't mention any contempt to the fourth master if you don't do it, something really happened, it's inconvenient for me to find people in Huya Mountain, it's convenient to find you."

The post man looked bitter and begged, "Fourth master, if you have eight hundred taels, this job will be in vain."

Zhang Jianxiu's face changed, and he was about to scold, but Gao Pragmatic stretched out his hand to stop him, and said, "That's it, you wiped the odds, one thousand taels." ”

Yi Cheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly raised his thumb and praised, "Pointing to the fact that one side is sealed, the end is extraordinary, and the person is even more arrogant, since you are old, then you don't have to say, one thousand taels is one thousand taels, and a few heads should be small to honor your old age."

Zhang Jianxiu didn't have a good and pragmatic face, and when he heard this, he just mocked Yicheng, "Yo, this is still filial piety"

That Yicheng is really a business material, I didn't hear this, and said with a smile, "Straight to the big master, you are old, but please rest assured, the small one must take care of all the way in place, and will never let Miss Liu see half of the figure of Huya Mountain along the way, and ensure that Miss Liu can enjoy the beauty of the Three Gorges along the way, it is really picturesque, oh yes, the food must be the best hospitality, but everything that can be eaten in Jingzhou City is guaranteed to be eaten on the boat." What's more, you can also fish a few along the river and eat some of the freshest river fresh, which is not available in the city, so you can rest assured. ”

"I'll send someone to bring the silver in a moment, and you have a receipt ready." Gao pragmatic said, and smiled again, "You are quite good at business, it seems that you have made a lot of money in this position."

"Thank you, sir, a little hard money, a little hard money." Yi Cheng nodded, "It's not comparable to the gods who have been on the list of dragons and tigers like the master, and the small ones are just mixed meals, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning." ”

As soon as Zhang Jianxiu heard it, he knew that this Yicheng had not paid attention to the imperial court newspaper, and he didn't even know the wealthy boy in front of him, so he couldn't help sneering, "It's good that you know that you are not worth mentioning, but this one in front of you is"

Gao pragmatic interrupted with a smile, "By the way, after sending Miss Liu, this official also has to go south from you, you have been a post for a long time, you should know which way to go south to Guangxi from here, which way is more convenient and fast."

"Yes, yes." Na Yi Cheng smiled and said, "If you go south to Guangxi, you will have to choose the next stop of our Jingnan Water Station, Gong'an County, there are two roads to choose from, one is to go to Lizhou in the direction of Changde Mansion, and after arriving at Changde Mansion, go upstream along the Yuan River, pass through Chenzhou to Liping Mansion, and then go southeast for two or three hundred miles to Guilin."

The second is to go to Yuezhou, go south to Changsha Mansion through Xiangyin, and then go all the way along the Xiangjiang River upstream, through Hengzhou to Yongzhou, Yongzhou is the intersection of Xiaoshui and Xiangshui, but you don't care, continue to walk along the Xiangjiang River, about two or three hundred miles, and you will arrive in Guilin. ”

Gao was a little surprised, and asked, "What do you mean to say, these two roads are simply speaking, one goes up the Yuan River, and the other goes up the Xiang River, all of which are water posts."

"That's, that's." That post complimented "Listen to your old accent must be a northerner, riding is naturally the best, but to our south, the horse post is not as much as the water post, especially the south of Huguang to Guangxi, the more south the more hills, forests and mountains, all rely on the four big rivers of Hunan, Zi, Yuan, Li to move, if you ride a horse, it is slower than taking a boat." ”

Gao pragmatic said Fortunately, I brought a "horseback rider" this time, if I brought a rider over, wouldn't I lose seven points of combat effectiveness first for no reason

He smiled and touched his pocket, originally planning to take out a piece of silver to thank him, but he didn't bring any money, and he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Zhang Jianxiu saw it on the side, and took out three pieces of broken silver and threw it to Yi Cheng, saying, "You are a lucky star today, and when you meet Gao Zhi, this big man who doesn't treat money as money, take it." ”

"Thank you for the reward." That Yicheng has just negotiated a big deal, in fact, he is not very eye-catching for three coins of silver, but he has never regarded himself as a court official, and has always regarded himself as a businessman, so no matter how small the mosquito is, it is also silver, and in Huguang, three coins of silver is enough to buy sixty or seventy catties of white rice

Gao Pragmatism saw that the matter was done, so he didn't plan to stay long, and beckoned Zhang Jianxiu to come out together, and the post man came out with a smile on his face, as respectful as waiting for his father.

As soon as he got out of the main hall of the post station, Gao Pragmatic saw Liu Xin standing motionless on the edge of the river harbor looking at the river, not knowing what he was thinking.

He walked over, and smiled from afar, "Why, Miss Liu looks south at the Yangtze River, and she can't help but be poetic, and she plans to write poetry."

Liu Xin turned her head to look at him, smiled, and said, "This kind of thing is still more suitable for you, the sixth champion, or you can come to one."

Gao pragmatically waved his hand, "Writing poetry is not fashionable in our Gao family." I guess if my third uncle is still alive, and he looks at the Yangtze River here, probably the first thing that comes to mind is how to control the water. ”

"What about you" Liu Xin tilted her head to look at him and asked with interest.

"I," Gao pragmatically smiled, and said, "I will think about how to sell more cement while controlling the water, and by the way, I will also consider whether to stock up on some land in some places where the appreciation space is promising, and sell or rent it in the future, which is all money." ”

When Liu Xin heard this, she couldn't help crying and laughing, and said, "You big profiteer who is fake for public and private gain." ”

"Who is a profiteer, I said, what you said is not right, I think you have a prejudice against me. You say I'm selfish, that's good, but I'm not a fake father, I'm just riding the east wind of the times, taking off with the trend, where are you going?"
