"The bricks in Wuhan are a little more expensive?"

"Brother, isn't it necessary to take a boat to Wuhan? This boatman and shipwright boss, can he do it without money? Another one, Wuhan's bricks, that is this ...... "the second dealer in the brick and stone business, Chong Xiangxiang's local old wealth gave a thumbs up," but this local brick, not to mention that there are many rough thorns, even the regulations are different, some goods are cracked, and they can also be called bricks? ”

"It's too expensive!"

The old man in Xiangxiang grinned, "I only sell two yuan for a penny." I'm looking for Cheng Cangzheng, and I can buy five yuan for that penny! ”

As he spoke, he shook his five fingers and slapped at the two dealers.

"Then go buy five bucks, brother."

No nonsense, the second dealer arched his hand, and he didn't plan to grind his teeth again.

"Whoa! Counteroffer, and then weigh it......"

"You're going to buy it by the pound?"

The second dealer stabbed, and the old man was not annoyed, but said seriously, "I want a lot of this, but it's not like other families, so I build a hall." ”

"How much does my brother want?"

"Add another 5,000 bricks, and I'll build a pigsty."

“……”

endured it for a long time, almost couldn't hold back, the second dealer was aggrieved, and he couldn't wait to pick up the bricks and give the old money to the old man.

As soon as the first lunar month passed, many locals in Xiangxiang County, who had mules, horses, carts and even boats at home, went directly to Wuhan to buy bricks and come back to sell. But where did I think that the bricks in Wuhan are as expensive, and the freight is deducted, and the ones that enter the mother are more than twice as expensive as the local goods.

The local goods are some, but it is convenient to get the goods, and if you want, you can also send them to your home by car. The big car of "Xiangxiang Oil Warehouse" can hold 3,000 catties of goods at a time, not to mention the easy turning, and it is quite durable. Just such a big car, Xiangxiang County pondered the spring ploughing, and asked the "Xiangxiang Oil Warehouse" of the Cangzheng Lord to borrow it.

Cheng Chucun agreed to this request a long time ago, and did not even mention the benefits, it was simply "selfless", and Xiangxiang County praised it from top to bottom.

"Brother Ping, what's next?"

"In the first month, you go to banquets and drink everywhere, can you see the signs?"

"What's the sign?"

"Stupid! You go to a banquet, local celebrities, who goes and who doesn't, and you don't have any points in your heart? ”

"I remember a few, what's wrong?"

"Idiot! After a month of eating and drinking, don't you notice that there are one or two people, and when you go to a banquet, there are far fewer local celebrities with you? If you go to another house, these two or two families will either come late or leave early? ”

"It didn't ......"

"Stupid as a dolphin, waste!"

“……”

was scolded for a while, and the clay figure also had three points of fire, and when Cheng Chucun immediately bowed his head and said, "Yes, let Brother Ping laugh." ”

"Alright."

Duanmuyuan was very satisfied with his attitude, "I have long expected that you don't have this memory, and the old man has already drawn up a list for you." In these two, you can give them some bait to lure them in. ”

"Dongtai Jiang's, Baisha Liu's? Brother Ping, I'm afraid that I will be detected by others. ”

"With your stupid appearance, I expect that after these two families come into contact with you, they will only think that you are stupid...... So rest assured, it will be fine. ”

“……”

should have been happy for everything, but Cheng Chucun always felt that something seemed wrong.

Within a few days, Dongtai Jiang and Baisha Liu jointly invited Cheng Chucun to a banquet, and after three rounds of wine, Cheng Chucun, who was drinking happily, still remembered his business, but he drank and drank, and his interest came up.

Jiang Shuang, the patriarch of the Jiang family in Dongtai, glanced at him, and there were two young girls with their own characteristics, leaning on both sides of Cheng Chucun: "The fourth prince is a noble person in Beijing, and he can be condescending to the noble, which really makes the humble house shine." ”

"Whereever, I'm just an idler, what's not expensive...... Uh, first a glass to Zhiqing Gong, please! ”

Jiang Shuang saw Cheng Chu's drunken chatter, and his eyes were wildly aimed at the two young girls on the left and right, and he knew that the time had come, so he asked in a tentative tone: "After all, the fourth prince is well-informed, and he has heard that this brick kiln factory in Wuhan is very large?" ”

"More than the vast?! Not to mention Hanyang, Jiangxia, and Wuchang, let's just say that this newly built Xianning City is not boasting, it is a brick kiln factory with an annual output of four million bricks! ”

As he spoke, Cheng Chucun raised five fingers and shook them vigorously from Jiang Shuang.

"Four?"

"Oh." Cheng Chucun hurriedly put his thumb and little finger back, "Four million bricks!" Still in short supply! Zhi Qinggong has never seen it, if he goes to see it, he will know that this business is really powerful. ”

"Oh? I heard that Wuhan Jiangnan Jiangbei two cities, how many bricks? ”

"Schools, factories, government offices, homestays, guest houses, warehouses, fences...... Where not to use it? That is really a bottomless pit, the brick kiln factory in Wuchang County, which is much larger than Xianning City, the large brick kiln factory, Wuchang County has more than one, and it is only for Wuchang local, at most it is to add Yongxing. ”

"Hiss......"

Jiang Shuang and Baisha Liu, who came to the banquet together, both inhaled slightly, looked at each other, and had a plan at the moment.

"The brick kiln factory is really a good livelihood."

sighed with emotion, Jiang Shuang's tone was full of envy.

"Who's to say it's not?"

Cheng Chucun smacked his lips and recognized this very much, but there was no envy on his face, after all, in his heart, he just wanted to be an official.

When Jiang and Liu saw him like this, they were also curious: "Doesn't the fourth prince look down on the livelihood of this brick kiln factory?" ”

"If you want to say joy, you will naturally rejoice. Who hates less money? It's just that I don't want to do this, I just want to find a future, so I just give up. ”

"Why did the fourth prince build a brick kiln factory?"

"When the warehouse is built, this brick kiln factory will be closed, and it will not be my livelihood."

"Whoa! You can't say that, the fourth son needs to know to make the best use of things. The fourth prince can't use it, but the local people in Xiangxiang are thirsty for bricks, but Wuhan bricks are too expensive, and they have to count on the oil warehouse construction site of the fourth son. ”

"It's not up to me to have the final say, besides, I came to Xiangxiang to be ordered to 'tun oil', this brick kiln factory is useless to me."

When Jiang and Liu heard this, they were all smiling, and Jiang Shuang smiled even more and said, "Don't the four sons know that they take what they need?" ”

Suddenly, Cheng Chucun remembered his "duty" and was thinking about how to show his "acting skills", but because of nervousness, his whole face was paralyzed, and his face shook slightly.

If you are a bystander, you will naturally be timid, but in the eyes of the Jiang family and the Liu family, it is about this Cheng Sigongzi who is experiencing a "war between heaven and man".

"Whoa...... The fourth prince doesn't have to worry too much, the words here will definitely not be known to outsiders. ”

"Uh......"

Cheng Chucun's face finally stopped shaking, but his bewildered appearance made the Jiang family and the Liu family happy, there is no doubt that this Cheng Sigongzi is very good.

Staying overnight at the Jiang family, the two beautiful girls tried their best to let Cheng Chu fly up inch by inch, and slept to death until noon the next day, and Jiang prepared the meal early and waited for him to eat.

When leaving Jiang's family, the dizzy Cheng looked at the two beautiful girls in the carriage, still a little confused: I took in two more little girls? It's so easy.

After returning to the temporary office of the "Xiangxiang Oil Warehouse", after settling down for a while, the beautiful girl given by the Jiang family that she received last night finally had Cheng Chucun in mind, and hurriedly went to Duanmuyuan to discuss.

"Na! This is the red and white double contract of cooperation with Jiang and Liu, and the process is all in it. As for the old man, he has already ordered a few handlebar styles, go out to drink, eat meat, and chat with other handlebar styles. ”

"What are you talking about?"

"Talk about your brick kiln factory with the Jiang family and the Liu family?"

"What do you have to talk to the coachman?"

"Rubbish, you're underestimating the coachman!" The people in charge of the 'are all benefactors' henchmen, you don't have to think that the real one is a lowly and vulgar thing. ”

"And that kind of statement?"

"The one who drove for your father, could it be Lu Guogong's henchman?"

“……”

A sharp turn made Cheng extremely awkward, but there was no doubt that Duanmuyuan was right.

"What if the coachman can't get out?"

"Then hold a banquet by yourself, thank you for your kindness, invite celebrities in Xiangxiang, and then say a word in passing, isn't it okay?"

Cheng Chu nodded dumbly, he still wasn't used to lying without being cheeky and opening his mouth.
