Chapter 232: No Battle

The strange woman who flew through the window startled Liu Laosi, and he almost shouted "assassin" in a sharp voice!

Fortunately, Cui Geng saw the opportunity quickly, and introduced under a pretense: "Brother Shiro, don't panic, this is the nephew and daughter of the Li Shan family, called Cui Xiufang." I know me very well, my own people! ”

"Oh......"

Liu Laosi muttered secretly, he was blind to Li Shan's big name back then, and he has really become more and more willing to degenerate over the years, a woman's family actually walks through the window and does not go through the door, and it is not a lady at first glance. Can a daughter of a good family be so?

However, since Cui Geng said so, he didn't want to care, looked at Cui Xiufang, and asked, "For the matter of 300,000 yuan, can Cui Xiaoniang be the master for Li Shan?" ”

Cui Xiufang snorted, her face pale. It can be seen that she doesn't like to deal with Liu Laosi, a eunuch.

Cui Geng took over and said, "Shiro can rest assured, Li Shan, Cui Xiaoniang can be half a family." As for the little brother, there is nothing to say, just do what Shangguan Sheren said, I admit it! ”

Liu Laosi suddenly smiled like a flower, and gave a thumbs up in approval: "Erlang is good, Shangguan Sheren didn't see the wrong person, and your benefits will be indispensable in the future." ”

After a few more idle words, Liu Laosi said goodbye and left on the grounds that he was in a hurry to return to Beijing.

It's no wonder that he came and went in a hurry, but he was in a hurry to come out this time.

Not to mention that he was in a hurry to go back to Shangguan Wan'er to ask for a good deal, just say that the 300,000 yuan of goods, that is also a lot of money, take it out and make profits, it is a lot of profit a day, so many goods are pressed in his hands, can Shangguan Wan'er and those businessmen under Erwu not be in a hurry? I'm waiting for him to reply!

……

……

Liu Laosi left for a while, and Cui Xiufang stayed in the county office and never left.

She played with the two jade bracelets, and said with a smile: "It's difficult for Liu Laosi to be a eunuch, and he still prepares this thing." ”

This jade bracelet was stuffed to Cui Xiufang by Liu Laosi before leaving, saying that it was the first time they met and asked for good luck.

Cui Geng smiled bitterly: "The official has been with him for so long, but he can be regarded as seeing the money back." Although we spent 300,000 yuan, this bracelet can always be worth 180 yuan, right? Give it to you, you can take it, he owes us anyway. ”

"Whoever owes it to whom is not really good." Cui Xiufang's eyes fluttered, she smiled, and said, "At least this time, he has helped us a lot." ”

Cui Geng said suspiciously: "Help? How can it help? ”

"The slave family came to you today specifically for this matter, but now it's okay, the problem has been solved......"

It turned out that Cui Xiufang came to the county government today to tell him Cui Geng that Meng Shenshuang of Lijingmen had a new move.

This guy actually used the power of Lijingmen to cut off the supply of raw materials for Li's Frosting Workshop - sugar cane!

Historically, the main production area of sugarcane has been Huainan Province, but this year, Huainan Province was affected by drought, and the sugarcane produced was only 20% of the previous one.

Although Lijingmen did not win the alliance of Li Shan and Cui Geng in the trading market of frosting, he suffered a lot of losses! And in Cui Geng's jurisdiction, at present, he can't do Cui Geng.

But out of Yangzhou City and even Jiangdu County, Lijingmen has an absolute advantage. After all, Yangzhou City and Jiangdu County are only a small part of Huainan Province.

Meng Shenshuang issued an order in other parts of Huainan Province that all the people who planted sugarcane must sell their sugarcane to the frosting workshop in Lijingmen, otherwise they would be killed!

Lijingmen had already bought and sold land to cover the fishing goods in several counties, and now it is naturally easy to do this kind of thing.

Li Shan's frosting workshop has been greatly expanded, and in the past two months, it has almost consumed the sugarcane in Jiangdu County.

The person in charge of purchasing sugarcane went out of Jiangdu County, only to find that something was wrong, damn, there was no way to buy sugarcane, and even the farmers were unwilling to sell sugarcane to Li's workshop.

Without sugarcane raw materials, how can we produce gray sugar and then refine frosting?

Originally, this kind of sugar workshop was open seasonally, with the sugar cane ripening in August every year, and the sugar pressed in August, September, October, and November, and the rest of the year.

As soon as Meng Shenshuang did this, Li's Workshop would stop work and stop production for a month in advance.

It doesn't matter if you earn a month's worth of silver, but you can't die, Cui Geng shook his wit and asked Li's workshop to pay Wu Zetian tribute to white sugar and rock sugar.

Now that Li's workshop has a fine white sugar that is really "as white as snow powder and frost", and a rock sugar that is "like a jewel like crystal", do you still want Your Majesty and the princes to enjoy the crude "sugar"?

Therefore, the imperial court hurriedly issued a holy decree for 800 li, asking the Li workshop to send the tribute sugar to Chang'an as soon as possible, and because this thing has made a big disturbance in Chang'an, all the princes and nobles are clamoring for it, so the amount of tribute required this time is three times as much as before!

Okay, now that there are no sugarcane raw materials, and you still pay tribute?

Failure to pay tribute on time will be punished according to the crime of defrauding the king, and the head of Li Shan will be cut off at the lightest, and the head of his entire clan will be dropped at the worst.

Li Shan shouted that he was unlucky, and almost started the idea of avoiding trouble overseas.

So, he hurriedly asked Cui Xiufang to find Cui Geng to discuss countermeasures!

However, what Cui Xiufang didn't expect was that there was really no endless road, and as soon as she came to the county office, she heard Liu Laosi say that she asked Li's workshop to recycle the frosting that had been hoarded by those merchants.

Well, this time, with this batch of goods, I can barely get through this crisis.

After Cui Geng heard this, he was also secretly alarmed, and couldn't help but say: "Meng Shenshuang is quite amazing, he can actually think of the idea of pinching the raw materials and cutting off our back road!" But people are not as good as heaven, didn't they be overrun by my Cui Erlang again this time? Rao is able to calculate, only blame himself for his bad luck. I'll follow him, just like Zhou Yu of the Three Kingdoms, Chu and Han ......"

"That's it! My county magistrate, can you stop bragging? ”

Cui Xiufang pursed her lips, poured a basin of cold water on Cui Geng, and said, "This year is fooled, and there will be next year!" Meng Shenshuang will do the same trick again next year, pinch our raw materials, where can we find so much sugarcane when the time comes? ”

Cui Geng snorted and said, "Next year? At that time, it's not that we're worried about whether we can harvest the sugarcane, but that he's Meng Shenshuang! ”

"What do you mean?"

"Didn't he think that out of the jurisdiction of Jiangdu County, Lijingmen would be easy to use in other states and counties in Huainan Province?"

Cui Geng stepped forward and lowered his voice: "Hehe, it's a pity that he is unlucky, the upcoming Yangzhou assassin Zhang Qian is the big backer of this official." ”

The history of Yangzhou thorn is an abbreviation, and the full name is the history of the governor of Yangzhou and the history of Yangzhou thorn.

In addition to the military and civilian control of Yangzhou, he also had to be responsible for managing the military and political affairs of Yang, Chu, Chang, Run, He, Xuan, and She.

These seven states happen to be the main producing areas of sugar cane.

The cause and effect of Cui Geng and the Zhang family in Weizhou are there, and Zhang Qian's coming to Yangzhou this time is exactly what Shangguan Wan'er suggested, and there must be a way to talk about it.

So he said that next year it will be the season to harvest sugarcane, and it is reasonable to worry that Meng Shenshuang will not be able to harvest sugarcane.

……

Cui Geng got so close, and with a burning exhalation as he spoke, all his brains ran to Cui Xiufang's cheek, making her heart beat violently.

However, she didn't avoid it this time, but her cheeks were red, and she asked in a voice like a mosquito: "Do you still have a relationship with Zhang Qian?" ”

"Of course!"

Cui Geng told again about his clever cracking of Zhang Zirui's mystery case and helping Wang Ruiyue get rid of Hou Sizhi's entanglement.

Cui Xiufang thought for a moment after hearing this, and said: "In this way, as soon as this Zhang Tingshi arrives, he will not be afraid of Meng Shenshuang cutting off the sugarcane next year." That's right......"

Cui Xiufang's eyes widened, staring at Cui Geng, and asked, "Hou Sizhi is so interested in Wang Ruiyue, is she very beautiful?" ”

"Pretty?" Cui Geng thought for a moment and said bluntly: "Actually, it is a bit of a posture, but it is not extraordinary." It's mainly her identity - five surnames and seven princesses, who can't be tempted when they see it? ”

Cui Xiufang smiled at the corner of her mouth and said, "Oh? Is it? Then you Cui Daxian Order, are you also tempted? ”

was mentioned by her like this, and that embarrassing scene appeared in Cui Geng's mind again, piggybacking on it, and answering a step slower, "Of course I... Belch... Not impressed! ”

"Cut, it's duplicitous at first glance!" Cui Xiufang snorted and said, "What's so great about the Taiyuan Wang family, haven't you heard that they are the 'Gong Gong Wang Family'?" ”

Cui Geng has really heard of the word "Wangjia", which is a process in which silver is gilded, which looks like gold.

The meaning of this nickname is that this Taiyuan Wang family looks like gold on the surface, but it is silver on the inside, which is somewhat demeaning.

Needless to say, this word must have been coined by the other four surnames and Liuwang, implying that the Wang family is not worthy of being compared with several of them.

Cui Gengdao: "That being said, no matter how far away the Wang family is gold and silver, it is much stronger than us ordinary people, isn't it?" ”

"Hmph, dead open! Find your Wang Ruiyue! ”

Cui Xiufang suddenly turned her face, stepped back, and jumped out of the window!

It's window jumping again!

No matter how sluggish Cui Geng was, he understood that the taste was coming, and muttered: "Rub! This little girl can't be jealous, right? ”

……

……

Ruyi Building, the third floor, autumn character room.

Meng Shenshuang put his hands behind his back, looked at the portrait hanging in the room without saying a word, and was fixedly distracted.

Kneeling behind him was his right-hand man, one named Lu Yanfei and the other Qiu Fengyun.

Lu Yanfei is good at planning, and it was his idea to burn Chun Yuliang's house at the beginning.

Qiu Fengyun's martial arts are extremely high, and he is the first of the eight masters under Meng Shenshuang, the so-called Meng Shenshuang is good at Gu, and he can make people die unconsciously, most of them are his handiwork.

However, these are the two characters who can stop children crying at night, but now they are trembling like walking on thin ice, and they don't even dare to speak out.

Because they understand that now Meng Shenshuang is angry!

The first few failures were just that, the key was that this time the raw materials of the Li workshop were cut off, and everything went very smoothly, and it was about to end. But those damn merchants actually sold back the sugar frosting they had hoarded in large quantities to the Li family's workshop at once, making their plan fall short!

How could this not make the arrogant General Manager Meng depressed and want to vomit blood?

After a long time, Meng Shenshuang turned around, swept away the haze, and greeted with a smile on his face: "What are you still kneeling for?" This chief is like a brother to you, and you can't afford to kneel down to trap this brother in injustice? Come, Lao Lu, Lao Qiu sit down. After talking later, the manager will go down to the second floor with you and find a few young ladies to be comfortable. ”

The two of them were familiar with his smiling tiger's temperament, and they couldn't guess whether he was happy or angry at this time, and after the two got up and sat down, they quickly said: "It's a crime to be lowly and fail to detect the ...... of those merchants."

"Alright, let him pass the past." Meng Shenshuang said: "Even if Cui Erlang wins this game, the next game is about to start!" ”

Qiu Fengyun secretly complained after hearing this, the key surname Cui is not to win one game, but to win three games in a row, damn!

However, Lu Yanfei was better at attacking his heart and brain than him, and after listening to Meng Shenshuang's words, he asked, "The next game?" What does the steward mean? ”

Meng Shenshuang smiled and said, "I heard that Zhang Qian, the assassin of Yangzhou, is about to take office." Hehe, you say, if Cui Erlang offends this top boss to death, how will he live in Yangzhou in the future? ”

PS: Today's two more, no. Tomorrow is the last day of the outbreak, so let's just watch six!
