Chapter 94: Turning the Face
"Miss, Miss......"
"Ahh Coming back to her senses from Yun'er's call, Zhilan looked into the room, but Xiao Mo's shadow was gone. 【&n】
"Master Xiao has already left, he asked the slave maid to tell Miss, don't forget to promise him what the hell is going on...... Yun'er knew who Zhilan was looking for, so she said to Zhilan.
Zhilan nodded, looked at the words on the book, and read it silently, as if she wanted to engrave this poem in her heart!
What kind of person is this Xiao Mo?
What kind of person is Xiao Mo, to put it more appropriately, only he knows that he is a person who does not belong to this time, but there is no way, although he does not belong to this world, he still has to integrate here, this is Xiao Mo's distress.
Upstairs on the Wangjiang River, Pu Yuanwai's brows furrowed deeply, and a deep Sichuan character was formed between the two eyebrows.
"Boss Pu, you have an idea!" Someone next to him urged.
"Let me think about it......" Boss Pu seemed to be thinking about something that was difficult to decide.
Looking at the servants behind him, Boss Pu asked, "Lord Xiao hasn't come yet?" ”
The servant shook his head, Pu Yuanwai turned his head again, and said to the person next to him: "Su Yuanwai, just do what everyone just said!" I don't believe it, our thirteen families, with millions of taels of silver, can't compete with the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce! ”
Su Yuanwai laughed, "This is the Pu Wen I know!" ”
"Humph!" Pu Wen snorted lightly and said: "This time it is a last resort, everyone must remember what I just said, since we want to unite, we have to twist into a rope, and when Lord Xiao comes, no one is allowed to show weakness, now that we have the capital, what are you afraid of him doing?" ”
As the saying goes, if the foundation is thick, the waist board will be hard, and now these businessmen are obviously like this, they were still sad just now, but once they are united, they will start to fart!
Xiao Mo slowly went upstairs, and in front of him was Pu Wen's servant who had specially arranged to pick up Xiao Mo.
"Lord Xiao has arrived......" In the distance, the servant shouted, and then made a gesture to Xiao Mo to please.
Why, I came, and I still need to notify them like this? Xiao Mo was puzzled, but Xiao Mo was not allowed to think about it, so Pu Wen and the others came out of the private room and welcomed Xiao Mo in.
"The rank is gracious, and the official is not welcome!" Xiao Mo sat down generously, then beckoned everyone and began to eat!
The dish was a little cold, but Xiao Mo didn't mind, but he felt it in his heart, and the atmosphere was a little wrong!
In politeness, guests do not come, generally will not be dished, I don't know what the reason, this table of dishes, it is clear that it has been on for a period of time, but after they sit down, the businessmen actually have no intention of changing the dishes.
What do you want to do with all this? Maybe people have forgotten, anyway, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth! Xiao Mo thought about it, and continued to bury his head in eating.
Boss Pu and Su Yuanwai glanced at each other, both nodded, and then Pu Wen picked up the wine glass and said to Xiao Mo: "I have heard the name of Lord Xiao for a long time, and I will see you today, but I didn't expect Lord Xiao to be so young that I feel ashamed to let me wait for the old man!" This first glass of wine, I salute the adults, and I wish the adults a high promotion in the future, and they will be in the prime minister in the future, and they will be the pillars of the country! ”
Good guy, this sycophant is loud enough, who wouldn't want to be a man? It's just that Xiao Mo is not very interested in these, just nodded lightly, and then said to Pu Wen: "Then borrow Boss Pu's auspicious words, do ......" raised his head, drank it all, Xiao Mo said again: "But it's still too early to get out of the phase, now what the official thinks in his heart is the grain you brought, Boss Pu is a businessman, and he doesn't suffer losses, what about the official, he is a person from the court, and he can't suffer a loss, so it's better for both of us to open the skylight and say bright words, this is written grain, how do you plan to sell it?" ”
Xiao Mo didn't talk to Pu Wen, and went straight to the point, this style of acting obviously surprised Pu Wen, and after the accident, Pu Wen glanced at Su Yuanwai, which means it's time for you to speak!
"My lord......" Su Yuanwai took Xiao Mo's words: "Before coming to Shen County, the old man had also heard a little about the grain price in Shen County, so why don't you use the grain price of Shen County as the price to the county government?" ”
"The price of food in Shen County?" Xiao Mo listened, and said in his heart, ruthless enough, looking at what these people did in the county government in the evening, Xiao Mo thought that this was a group of lambs, but he didn't expect it to be a group of white-eyed wolves!
"Isn't it five taels and one stone?" Su Yuanwai was afraid that Xiao Mo would have any thoughts, so he hurriedly said what he said first.
"Hehe...... Xiao Mo sneered and asked, "Who told you that it was five taels and one stone?" Do you want the official to take a look at the price of the grain bought by the squires? ”
Did the squires of Shen County sell grain to the yamen? When Su Yuanwai and others heard this, they all looked at each other, obviously not knowing the news......
Taking advantage of their surprise, Xiao Mo ate a few more bites of food, and after barely eating a full seven minutes, he sat up straight and looked at them with interest. "Ladies and gentlemen, do you also sell grain to the county government at the price of the squires?"
The same price as the squires of Shen County?
Hell knows what that price will be! Didn't it mean that the squires in Shen County were unwilling to buy grain, so Li Jicai had no choice but to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to find grain merchants?
Pu Wen and Su Yuanwai and the others were puzzled, but no one dared to agree to Xiao Mo's words!
"My lord, can you tell me how much this price is?" In desperation, Pu Wen had no choice but to ask Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo didn't lie to them. "To tell you the truth, how about eight dollars of silver and one stone?"
Eight money? Although this price is cheaper than the grain price of six coins and one stone in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, these grains were transported from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to Shen County, and the freight cost thousands of taels.
Of course, Pu Wen and others can't accept this price!
"My lord, this is difficult for a strong man!" Pu Wenpi said without smiling.
"Oh?" Xiao Mo asked: "Then Pu Yuanwai thinks that what should this official do so that it is not difficult for a strong man?" ”
Xiao Mo clasped his hands to his chest and looked at Pu Wen calmly.
"Aside from the freight, these grains should have been priced at more than one tael of silver and one stone!" Since he talked to Xiao Mo, Su Yuanwai was not afraid of offending Xiao Mo. "So be it! Two, two, one stone, all our grain is sold to the Yamen of Shen County, and we don't want the Yamen to pay, we can add some more money in exchange for the right to mine iron ore in the end! ”
"How much?" Xiao Mo asked with a smile.
"Uh...... It depends on how many iron mines there are in Shen County! Su Yuanwai replied.
"That's right!" Xiao Mo nodded and looked at Su Yuanwai appreciatively. "Quite right!"
When Xiao Mo said this, Su Yuanwai couldn't figure out what Xiao Mo meant, so he had to ask tentatively: "When the adult said this, he agreed?" ”
"Haha......" Xiao Mo laughed, glanced at everyone present, and then, without warning, waved his right hand and slapped it heavily on the table. Hum! Promise? Do you think this official is a fool? ”
The clay man still has three points of qi, not to mention that Xiao Mo is still a dignified county Shaofu, and he can be regarded as a character who can walk sideways in Shen County on weekdays, even Li Yuan and them have to be obedient in front of Xiao Mo, but tonight, these Zhejiang businessmen first entertained them with cold dishes, which made Xiao Mo feel that he was despised, and then asked for a price, where would Xiao Mo be polite to them?
Seeing that Xiao Mo suddenly became angry, Pu Wen's face also turned cold, and everyone else had to have a black face, but they didn't have the slightest look of convincing!
Xiao Mo was a little puzzled, he originally heard the news that the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce was also participating in the bidding, these should have been sad faces, and then came to beg for themselves, why are they becoming stronger now?
After thinking about it, Xiao Mo seemed to understand something, so he snorted coldly, stood up, and prepared to leave Wangjiang Tower.
At this time, Pu Wen spoke. "My lord, don't you think twice?"
Xiao Mo looked at Pu Wen angrily, feeling that this guy thought that they businessmen had united, and he should be afraid! Xiao Mo didn't eat this set, looked at Pu Wen and said, "Think twice? The official has never had to think twice, since the matter can't be discussed, why should the official stay here and find himself bored? ”
Walking to the door, Xiao Mo turned around again and said, "Have you thought it through?" Don't forget the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce! ”
Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce? The merchants in the room were silent when they heard this, but no one spoke!
Seeing this, Xiao Mo shook his head and left Wangjiang Tower.
The last chance was also given to these businessmen, they don't cherish it, and they can't blame themselves! Xiao Mo sighed secretly in his heart, and then walked home.
In the private room, after the servant came to report that Xiao Mo was missing, someone became worried and asked Pu Wen: "Boss Pu, this Lord Xiao won't really go to the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, right?" ”
Pu Wen shook his head and said: "Probably not, looking at the performance of this Lord Xiao just now, just like he said, he should be a master who can't suffer losses, since he is unwilling to suffer, how can he take the initiative to find the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce?" ”
Pu Wen makes sense to say this, what is the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce? It was a chamber of commerce composed of the most bullish and capitalized businessmen in the entire Da'an Dynasty, more powerful than his own people, and he belonged to the kind of people who ate people and didn't spit out bones, if Xiao Mo wasn't a fool, he would definitely not go to them!
And in fact, Xiao Mo really didn't think about it, he wanted to go to the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce!
ps: Xiao Mo doesn't go to the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, so what will he do? Do you have any ideas, if you have, you can say it in the book review, and the correct answer will be announced in the chapter of the update tomorrow afternoon!
