In the past few days, Long Zhen slowly swallowed the cart in Luzhou, and the result was very surprising to him, originally he planned to be artificially slow, but the actual result was that even if he worked hard to do the errand, I am afraid he would not be able to get up quickly.

The major car dealers in Luzhou all said: Approaching the end of the year, the business of the car driver is busy queuing up after the New Year, and it is impossible to have an idle vehicle to rent to him.

Long Zhen is very helpless, this is Luzhou, not the capital, this is not a place for him to play tricks, and even if it is an errand for the imperial court, it can't be difficult for a strong man, right?

In three days, only fifty carts were collected, and this progress has exceeded the speed that Long Zhen originally planned to delay, if it continues like this, in less than a month, don't think about shipping the grain; Although he has the intention to let this batch of grain be shipped slowly, so that there will be more incidents in Yangzhou City, if he says that it will not be shipped for a month, people will see at a glance that he is deliberately delaying.

Long Zhen is not a fool, a large number of big cars in the car dealership are left in the yard every day to blow the wind, and the business is not as busy as the owner of the car dealership said, it is obvious that people are not willing to take his business at all, and there must be a reason for not making money in business.

But what can you do if you buy and sell freely, people just don't want to make your money? Even if he found Governor Zhu, Zhu Shiyong just said politely: "Business is free, business is fair, how do you tell the old man to get ahead?" ”

Long Zhen was extremely helpless, and when he was depressed, Zhu Shiyong showed a spirit of cooperation, and vacated sixty carts used to transport grain and grass materials in the camp of the Luzhou Baoxin Army and handed them over to Long Zhen for use, which can be regarded as doing his part.

At the beginning of the month, a heavy snow fell, Long Zhen was mixed, the good thing is that he finally had a reason to prevaricate, the sky was snowing, the roads were muddy, it was ten days and a half a month late, and it was also a problem of God, and it had nothing to do with people.

But now it is no longer a question of whether to delay or not, but whether this batch of grain can be transported to Yangzhou; There is a fundamental principle here: grain is shipped, but because the road is muddy, the time for transportation is late, this is not beautiful, and he is really not responsible; But if you don't get a grain of grain in the car, and you don't even go out of Luzhou City, then you will have to bear all the responsibility, and you originally wanted to bring down Su Jin, don't burn the fire on your head in the end, then you will lift a stone and hit yourself in the foot.

The three giants of the Luzhou Chamber of Commerce are also very entangled in this heavy snowfall, and the plan has been prepared very carefully, just wait for Long Zhen to ship the grain, and then order someone to pretend to be a messenger to be captured by the bandits, and then rob the grain; After a heavy snowfall falls, it may not be necessary to risk the 500,000 stone grain trapped in Luzhou, and Su Jin, who is far away in Yangzhou, is now finished.

However, these 500,000 stone grains are placed in Luzhou, this is a thorn in the heart, in case it really can't be transported, even if Su Jin loses his official position and is trained, he will still return to Luzhou if he becomes an official. In business, once the 500,000 stone grain starts to be sold in Luzhou, the 300,000 stone grain of the Chamber of Commerce will still make a lot of money?

It's really fucking hard to weigh this matter, the three giants hid in the Chamber of Commerce and discussed for a long time, and finally made a decision to urge Long Zhen to ship the grain away, and this batch of grain is not put there in the bandits' den to make them feel at ease.

Long Zhen, who didn't know each other, actually begged his father to tell his grandmother, and he forgot about the three Luzhou bosses, which made the Big Three quite embarrassing, but he didn't come to him, he wanted to talk to him, so Drunken Immortal Tower, Long Zhen was invited to the Drunken Immortal Tower for a banquet again.

The annoyed Long Zhen didn't want to go to the banquet, although the memories of that night were very good, the two singers swallowed and sucked, delicate and lovely like two little goblins wrapped around their bodies, and served Long Zhen as if they were in the clouds, but this does not mean that as the deputy commander of the Ma Army, he will buy your businessman's account; In Long Zhen's heart, this favor is counted on Zhu Shiyong, and the guys in the Chamber of Commerce are at best called by the prefect to pay the bill, which is nothing at all.

However, since people invite each other, they are always warm, at least there are people who value themselves on the ground in Luzhou, unlike the woman who came with the car, except for sending someone to urge, she didn't even invite a meal.

What's more, sitting in the barracks sulking, being frozen by the cold wind and snow will not help, it is better to drink two cups to relieve boredom.

Drunken Immortal Upstairs, the same time, the same place, but there are a few different people on the seat, Zhu Shiyong did not come, but there are a few more strangers on the side of the Chamber of Commerce, as soon as the two sides introduced, Long Zhen only then knew that these strangers were all the owners of several major car dealers in Luzhou, which made Long Zhen's heart ignite a flame of hope, it seems that the Chamber of Commerce has a useful meal.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Tang Jiyuan spoke: "Commander Long appreciates the light again, I will shine on my face, Commander Long should have been in Luzhou for five or six days, is the errand still going well?" ”

Long Zhen sighed and said: "Don't mention it, everything is not going well, and I am anxious." ”

Tang Jiyuan said with a smile: "Commander Long, don't worry, why don't you come to us for help if you have difficulties?" It seems that what Commander Long said that night, Commander Long didn't care, on the ground of Luzhou, our Chamber of Commerce can still do something. ”

Long Zhen disguised: "Did you say this? It seems that I drank too much wine that night, and I forgot everything I said and heard, but I also thought about asking you for help, but I was really embarrassed to trouble you on my own business, so I held back. ”

Tang Jiyuan said with a smile: "I see, I still look down on our brothers as a dragon commander." ”

Long Zhenzhen said: You are a ball! Is it also worthy of Lao Tzu to look up to? But he said: "How can it, you are hospitable, righteous people, I Long Zhen likes to make friends like you the most, why look down on it, everyone is full of food and clothing to beg for a warm life." ”

Tang Jiyuan said: "Commander Long is fast-talking, straightforward, admired, but I don't know what went wrong with Commander Long's errand, but do you need to help dredge it with inferior help?" ”

Long Zhen thought for a while and said: "Originally, this was an errand of the imperial court, so I can't say more here, but everyone is good friends, and it doesn't hurt to say it; Recently, there are quite few large trucks, and they really can't afford to transport grain, and seeing this heavy snowfall, the road is about to be muddy and difficult to walk, and the errand has lagged behind, which is really worrying. ”

Tang Jiyuan was stunned and said: "The cart is not enough? We don't have a thousand or eight hundred cars in Luzhou, how can we not even collect big cars? ”

Long Zhen said: "I don't know very well, but all car dealers, as soon as they say that they are transporting grain to Yangzhou, they immediately wave their hands and say that they are not free, saying that they are busy with business, and they are queuing up to use cars, but afterwards they leave the frame where to blow the wind and rain, which is really depressing." ”

Tang Jiyuan laughed and said, "There is such a thing? It seems that your price is low. ”

Long Zhen said: "Is the price still low if it is increased by two percent?" I think it's someone who is obstructing it behind his back. ”

Tang Jiyuan said: "According to this, I am afraid that there are indeed people behind the back to obstruct the adult's errand, and the adult can't do this errand, so don't you have to be punished by the imperial court?" ”

Long Zhen gritted his teeth and said: "That's natural, if you can't do an errand, the court will definitely punish you, if Lao Tzu finds out who is obstructing him behind his back, Lao Tzu tells his brothers to split him alive." ”

A sneer flashed on Tang Jiyuan's face, and he continued: "The old man can guess who is behind the scenes. ”

Long Zhen was dumbfounded: "Who is it?" Tell me, I'll take someone to raid his house. ”

Tang Jiyuan laughed and said, "The dragon is as fierce as fire, but you can't afford to provoke this person." ”

Long Zhen said angrily: "Who is so lawless and dares to go against the imperial court? Even if his official residence is a product, he will not be able to eat and walk around because of the delay in transporting grain. ”

Tang Jiyuan shook his head and said: "Even if he goes against the imperial court, you can't do anything about him, because his name is Shen Yaozu, and he is nicknamed 'Murder Xiucai', he is the bandit leader on Bagong Mountain, which is three hundred miles away, and the imperial court has conquered and suppressed several times in vain, can you move them?" ”

Long Zhen was stunned and said, "Bandits? What does that car dealership have to do with it, is it that the car dealership is driven by bandits? ”

Several car dealers in the seats looked embarrassed, so they had to cough a few times to express their dissatisfaction.

Tang Jiyuan said with a smile: "Commander Long's words, it is possible to send a few people to prison, how dare the car dealer collude with the bandits, but the official road where you transport grain to Yangzhou is the place where the bandits haunt, slow to say that if you pay two percent more price, no one will dare to run this business even if you double the money; Although the money is good, you also have to have a life to spend it. ”

Long Zhen suddenly realized, it turned out that the people in the car dealership were afraid of being robbed by bandits. lost his life, so he rejected himself one after another, and he would be wrong.

"Actually, Commander Long should give up the land route and take the waterway, it will be much safer, but if it is feasible a few days in advance, this heavy snow will come, the river will be frozen, and the waterway will not be passable, this matter will be difficult to do."

Long Zhen said: "What about taking the land route?" My 200 horse army is still afraid that the small group of bandits will not succeed? ”

Tang Jiyuan glared and said, "Small shares? I'm afraid that there are thousands of people, and the weapons are well-armed, and it is said that there are some heavy bed crossbows, do you think, the five or six thousand people of the two towns of Huainan in Luzhou have not been wiped out, can the number of bandits in this group be small? ”

Long Zhen gasped, thousands of bandits, how the hell can they resist, isn't this looking for death?
