Cheng Xiaolian frowned and glanced at Hall Master Xu: "You don't want to?" ”

Hall Master Xu's face was a little worried: "We have few people in the Shangtang, and we are afraid that taking over this heavy burden will ruin His Highness's major affairs, so His Highness should find another choice." ”

Cheng Xiaolian rubbed his forehead, and soon understood what Master Xu thought, generally speaking, being an imperial merchant in the imperial court is a dream thing for businessmen, because with the status of an imperial businessman, not only does his personal status improve, but it is also much more convenient to do business.

Of course, a large part of their interests should also be used to honor the imperial court. Now that Cheng Xiaolian and they have just occupied Chengdu, they don't even hold a single Sichuan in their hands, and they are their imperial merchants, except for countless filial piety, I am afraid that there is no benefit at all, so Master Xu will avoid it.

Thinking of this, Cheng Xiaolian hurriedly explained: "Our restoration of sight this time has just begun, and there are still many titles for the founding of the country. "He also handed over his old bottom, which means that if you regain your sight with us, the title of the founding hero is indispensable, and one day of the Ming Dynasty, your family's title will always be there.

But Cheng Xiaolian forgot one thing, after the founding of the country, almost all the titles were not handed down, because Zhu Yuanzhang killed all the heroes, let alone the titles, and even his life was not saved, so this condition has no temptation for Hall Master Xu at all.

Hall Master Xu smiled bitterly: "How much silver does Your Highness want, I will get together with the people of Shangtang and try our best to meet His Highness's requirements, but the requirements of the Imperial Merchants should never be mentioned again." ”

Cheng Xiaolian glanced at Hall Master Xu: "Let me tell you the truth, I want to support an imperial businessman, on the ground of Sichuan, if you don't cooperate with me, I am afraid that the future business will be squeezed out." ”

Hall Master Xu also shook his head: "We earn hard money in business, if Sichuan doesn't let us make money, we will go to Lianghu, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, there will always be a place to eat, this is Your Highness, I still have to say a word, this business is not the same thing as marching and fighting, and governing the government, so Your Highness still has to consider it carefully." ”

Cheng Xiaolian ate a soft nail, and left the house of the hall master Xu sullenly, killing Qi Angelica is already the bottom line, if he threatens people again, Sichuan will really be as the master of the hall Xu said, it is estimated that the businessmen who do business will run out, although it is important to make money, but the life is in danger, who still has the heart to do business.

So the tough means can no longer be used, I originally thought that after the thunder, some businessmen in Chengdu would be obedient, but Cheng Xiaolian still thought about things simply, everyone is not stupid, since people know your bottom line, they are naturally unwilling to call the lifeline to your hands easily.

Cheng Xiaolian walked sullenly in front, Yang Youcai could only follow behind, he knew that His Royal Highness was in a mood now that he was afraid that he was not interested in talking, and that businessman was too ignorant of elevation, and His Highness gave them such a good opportunity and didn't know how to grasp it.

Of course, Yang Youcai will not understand that what seems to him to be extremely glorious may not be a good thing in the eyes of others.

At this time, there was a sudden quarrel in front, and a person dressed as a junior grabbed the collar of a scholar: "You dare to come to us to eat rice, and you don't look at what kind of place this is!" ”

The scholar snorted coldly: "I told you a long time ago, someone will pay the money for me, you can take this note and go to the principal in this city to take a look." ”

"Fart, Lao Tzu just because he believed you, let the prefect's guards beat you up, look at you like a scholar, how can you do such a thing?"

Cheng Xiaolian raised his head, looked at the scholar's back with a familiar face, and scratched his head: "Yang Youcai, who is this person?" ”

This sentence stunned Yang Youcai: "I, I don't know." ”

"Hey, why do I feel so familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere, let's go over and have a look." Saying that, Cheng Xiaolian stepped forward: "What's going on?" ”

The first thing to do in the store is eyesight, he saw at a glance that Cheng Xiaolian was not an ordinary person, followed by several guards, he was definitely the son of a big family, so he quickly threw the scholar under his hand aside: "Several, this matter is not a big bully in our store, when this son came to our store, he was very down, and told us to let us prepare a table for him to eat, a good dress, and then handed me a note, let me go to the Chengdu city management person to ask for silver." ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Er looked aggrieved: "I saw that this son had an extraordinary bearing, and said that he must be the son of a big family who was down-and-out, so he said to the shopkeeper, we pay attention to a harmonious and wealthy shop, this dress was also bought, and the wine and food were also served, he was full of food and drink and put on new clothes, I went to find the prefect, but was beaten in vain by the guards around the prefect, saying that I had a few lives to run and hand things around, and the prefect couldn't understand what was written, so let me get out of here." ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Er was about to cry: "Now the shopkeeper said that I was the guarantor for this matter, not only asking me to compensate for the silver for clothes and wine and food, but also to dismiss me." My family is waiting for me to eat, do you think I can not be in a hurry? ”

Speaking of which, even Yang Youcai couldn't look past it: "Young Master, let them solve this matter by themselves." "Does he mean to bully people, this kind of thing has a debtor and a master, how to solve it, Cheng Xiaolian don't care about this matter, this is on the street, in case he gives money, he will have to fence the door of the house if he asks for food tomorrow.

Who knew that Cheng Xiaolian stared at the person on the ground tightly: "Hey, you raise your head." ”

The scholar didn't speak either, and when he heard Cheng Xiaolian's shouting, he didn't pay attention to him at all, and he sat on the ground and didn't speak.

At first glance, it looked like a scoundrel, but Cheng Xiaolian became curious, lowered his head to look at him, and was stunned when he saw it, and shouted out of his mouth: "Are you Jia Xu?" ”

The scholar raised his head suddenly, and when he saw Cheng Xiaolian, he also smiled: "Okay, what I'm looking for is you, hurry up and give me money, lest people say that I eat white food." ”

Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "Why should I give you money?" If I'm not mistaken, this is the second time the two of us have met, and it's not good that you will ask for silver as soon as you meet. ”

Jia Xu snorted coldly: "If you don't come up with the money, I won't do it with you." ”

Cheng Xiaolian pouted: "Have you forgotten that you knelt down and begged me to take you with me, and I was indifferent?" ”

Jia Xu looked resentful: "You can't produce any money." ”

Cheng Xiaolian laughed and glanced at Xiao Er: "How much money did this Jia Gongzi spend in total?" ”

"Five taels."

Cheng Xiaolian stretched out his hand and took out ten taels of silver: "You have a good eye, the five taels of silver will be returned to your shopkeeper, and the remaining five taels will be rewarded to you." Seeing that you have been dismissed by your shopkeeper, do you want to follow me? ”

Xiao Er laughed: "With this silver shopkeeper, I won't dismiss me, and I don't have to go with you." As he spoke, he ran into it with the silver in his hand.
