Chapter 200: First Transaction
At the beginning of the morning, I summoned all the people of the bloody group to gather in front of the temple and announced my idea for the construction of Chaoyang Temple.
"First of all, we need to unite all the forces that can be united. For now, we need to unite the serfs and mountain people. ”
I looked at the inexplicable group of people and opened my speech in high spirits.
The digital trio and the vial glanced at each other, and Li Ersan spoke: "Second Brother Xu, are we going to rob them?" The eldest brother said that they are more miserable than us, and we should not rob them unless we have to." ”
......
I turned my head to look at Li Xuefeng, and the smug look on his face was clear at a glance.
"Kindness is my basic requirement for them. He said with a smile.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
I said to them speechlessly, "It's not about robbing them, we're here to help them, and at the same time to help ourselves." Let's make our lives better......"
Before the words fell, Li Xuefeng interjected: "You want to exploit them, right? I have systematically studied the theory of exploitation in the human world!"
I was completely speechless.
In addition to killing the rich and helping the poor to be thieves, these people have never thought of making profits through legal means.
After thinking about it, I said, "We're helping them, you know, the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, mutual benefit or something." ”
Li Xuefeng thought for a while and said, "You better tell me what you want to do first?"
I laughed and said, "We have to build a bazaar first." ”
.......
There were only two people left in front of the hall, me and Li Xuefeng, and the digital trio and the small bottle were playing happily with the canopy not far away.
After I explained my thoughts about the bazaar to him, Li Xuefeng sat on the bamboo chair and pondered for a long time, then suddenly stood up and called a few people over.
When I was wondering what he wanted to do, he announced: "During this time, everyone listens to Second Brother Xu, no, in the future, our Blood Demon Gang will listen to Second Brother Xu, including me." “
He waved his hand vigorously as he spoke.
"What?"
I was stunned with my four little children.
Suddenly, I couldn't turn my head around.
Li Siwu suddenly cried with a "wow".
Li Ersan patted his head and said, "What are you crying for?"
Li Siwu sobbed and said, "Second Brother Xu is really a big brother, I snatched meat from his bowl the day before yesterday, what should I do." ”
I looked at the four or five living treasures angrily and funny, but suddenly understood that since I came here, these people have actually been a little afraid of me, including Li Xuefeng? I think so.
"Stop, stop, Li Xuefeng, are you so sure you don't want to run?" I asked deliberately.
Li Xuefeng stood in a row with a few children below, hugged his fists and said, "Big brother, what you said last night woke me up, and I also figured it out." Only with sufficient strength can we find a way to return to the human world. I've been in a trance for the past ten years. ”
He paused, and then said, "I know that you are more capable than me, so I want to follow you and build this place." As long as we accumulate enough strength, when the time comes, Tao Zhiran, that old thing, will naturally beg us to tell us the secrets of Taoyuan Town. ”
I smiled and said, "Li Xuefeng, you are still the eldest brother, don't want to throw this mess to me." “
Li Xuefeng looked at a few people and said, "Actually, we are only a few people in the Blood Demon Gang, and we don't care about the eldest brother and the second brother, anyway, in the future, we will all listen to you." “
I smiled and said, "Okay, this morning, Ersan and I will go to the official road to trade with Miss Tao, the small bottle will cook, and the rest of the people will go to cut down trees and bamboo, and we will spend three days to set up the shelves of the market and prepare for the meeting the night after tomorrow." “
Li Ersan and I cleaned out all the jewelry in the furnace, and there were two or three hundred pieces.
Put these things in a sack and tie it to the back of the canopy with rattan, and I took Li Ersan and went down the mountain leisurely.
As I walked, I took a charcoal pen that I had made by the previous night's assault and recorded the terrain on a cloth flag.
I don't plan to build the bazaar in the main hall of Chaoyang Temple, although this can allow us to better manage, but from a long-term perspective, close to the official road, is the best plan, if you want to get rich, build the road first.
Stop-and-go, we finally arrived at Daqingshi.
Looking up at the sun, it was still early, and Li Ersan and I cut down four cypress trees with thick bowls, and one of them was broken to make two chest-length supports, which were erected on both sides of the official road.
One has its head and tail removed and becomes a crossbar of more than three meters.
Place the crossbar on a support, tie one end with rattan, and tie a small stone at the end.
Connected the rope to the stone, asked Li Ersan to try it, and sure enough, as soon as he pulled the stone gently, the crossbar was warped, and as soon as he let go, the crossbar fell.
Li Ersan looked at the simple roadblock I made with the principle of levers in amazement, pulling the rope for a while, and releasing the rope for a while, and having a lot of fun.
I also used the remaining two trees to make two three-meter-long poles, which stood on the perimeter of the barricade support, and made a banner out of cloth flags that read: Taoyuan Town Checkpoint.
There is also a line of small print below: Chaoyangsi Highway Construction Co., Ltd.
Li Ersan watched me finish all this and asked strangely, "Second Brother Xu, what is this checkpoint for?"
I smiled and said, "It's a legal cut." ”
Li Ersan asked again: "Then what is this Chaoyang Temple Highway Construction Co., Ltd. doing?"
I patted him on the head and said, "It's for those poor serfs and mountain people to find work." ”
Yes, when I heard Li Xuefeng say that robbery and paying taxes are paid, I thought of this way to make money.
Since Nima wants to ask Lao Tzu to pay taxes, then Lao Tzu will rob legally!
Bah, how ugly Nima's robbery is, the grandfathers are helping Taoyuan Town to inspect passing vehicles, and they earn hard-earned money.
Thinking of this, I stared at the banner and laughed.
Li Ersan tilted his neck and looked at me and said, "Second Brother Xu, you are so treacherous in your smile!"
I stretched out my hand and slapped him on the neck, and said, "Am I treacherous? ”
Li Ersan said again: "But there are not many people in this official road. “
I smiled and said, "There will be more in the future." “
Nonsense, what do you think I've bothered to build this bazaar for? It's not for wool gathering?
In the future, the bazaar will develop, and I don't believe that those people in the town will not come to trade, maybe everyone from Qingfeng City will come. Since you are going to trade, you will definitely take the official road, and when the time comes, hey, hey, hey!
I laughed with joy again.
At this time, Li Ersan had already made a small stool out of the remaining wood, sat down next to the pole and continued to play with the roadblock.
I smiled and took a piece of wood, made it into a board with a single knife, and wrote a line on the board with charcoal: ten copper plates per cart, five copper plates per horse.
After writing, he inserted the wooden board next to Li Ersan's stool.
Li Ersan looked at it, laughed, and said, "Brother, you haven't written yet!"
I smiled and said, "We're not collecting tolls, we're collecting inspection fees, you know? “
At the end, I pretended to be mysterious and said, "This is much more than what you can earn by cutting the path." ”
After speaking, he went to the big bluestone to lie down in the sun.
Li Ersan looked at the wooden board suspiciously, as if he wanted to see something from it.
......
When it arrived, sure enough, the Tao family's carriage and horses came from the direction of Taoyuan Town.
When the carriage stopped in front of the roadblock, Li Ersan and I were already standing on the side of the road and waiting with a smile.
It was the middle-aged samurai who rode forward again.
He first looked at the banners and barricades, then looked at the toll signs, smiled, and said to me: "Xu Jinyue, have you turned the roadblock robbery into a roadblock toll?"
I said with a smile: "This big brother, since I arrived at Chaoyang Temple, I have taught the brothers of the Blood Demon Gang every day to be good people and be kind people, no, we won't rob now." ”
The samurai sneered and said, "I think you're worse than robbery. Why do you check passing cars and horses? Are you an official?"
I straightened up and said to him solemnly: "As supernumerary townspeople of Taoyuan Town, although the government does not recognize us, we are all proud to be Taoyuan people, this is our hometown, and we must also contribute to the peace of our hometown." ”
The samurai was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What does this have to do with this checkpoint?"
I straightened up and said without squinting: "In order to prevent suspicious cars, horses and characters from entering and leaving Taoyuan Town, and causing damage to the good situation in Taoyuan Town, we will set up this layer of barrier outside the magic circle, and if bad elements come to sabotage, we will use our flesh and blood to form the first line of defense to protect Taoyuan Town." ”
The samurai was a little amused when he saw me, and asked narrowly, "Then you still charge?"
I smiled and said to him, "After we wash our hands, we also have to eat, big brother." “
Then he craned his neck and shouted to the carriage behind him, "Besides, we have paid our taxes." “
"Tao Wu, come back. Tao Zhilin's voice came out of the carriage.
The curtain in front of the carriage was lifted, and Tao Zhilin lifted the hem of her skirt and stretched out her feet to get out of the carriage.
The young warrior on the side hurriedly dismounted and helped her down.
However, after Tao Zhilin got out of the car, she was stumbling, and the young warrior hurriedly grabbed her arm and said, "Miss be careful, this road is very bad." “
Tao Zhilin didn't care, walked to the barricade and looked at the banner carefully, and then looked at the toll sign.
Then he turned to me and said, "What do you mean by this Highway Construction Co., Ltd.?"
I smiled and said, "Take it from the people, use it for the people." We received the inspection fee, minus the labor costs, and the rest was used to repair the road. “
She was slightly stunned, as if she didn't understand the truth.
Sure enough, she asked suspiciously, "Would the bandits be so kind?"
I looked miserable, beat my chest with my hand, looked up at the sky and said, "I was going to turn my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch!"
Turning my head sideways, I looked at Tao Zhilin and said seriously: "Miss Tao, we have changed our ways, after all, we are also a part of Taoyuan Town, and we have walked this road more than the townspeople!"
Tao Zhilin nodded lightly and said, "In that case, when I return to Qingfeng City, I will find a way to find an official identity for you." “
I was overjoyed, and hurriedly said to her, "Thank you Miss Tao, there are six of us." “
Tao Zhilin raised her hand, covered her mouth and chuckled, "Since you are dedicated to goodness, it is very good." “
As if remembering something, she glanced behind her, hurriedly put down her hand again, returned to the serious image of the Virgin just now, and said seriously: "Is our transaction still valid?"
I smiled and said, "Of course it works." ”
As he spoke, he said to Li Ersan, who was feeding the canopy grass behind him: "Bring the goods." ”
Li Ersan untied the sack and came to me with two hands.
"Do you want to inspect the goods?" I asked.
She turned around and walked towards the carriage, saying as she went, "Just hand it over to Tao Wu." ”
Then he said to the young warrior, "Tao Jiu, give them a silver dollar to pay for our inspection." ”
Tao Wu came over and took the sack, turned around and tied it up behind the saddle.
Tao Jiu rode over and threw a silver dollar from afar.
Li Ersan followed one by one, caught the silver dollar with one hand in the air, and said with a smile: "Thank you." ”
As the carriage passed me, it stopped again.
Tao Linzhi lifted the curtain of the carriage and asked with a smile, "Why don't you ask me for money?"
I smiled and said, "Miss Tao, who has a clear wind, will never rely on my little thief's money, I can trust the girl." ”
She chuckled and said: "I'm afraid you're not thinking in your heart: with Tao Zhiran, that old guy is here, the monk can't run the temple, and if you can't collect money here, it's the same if you go to Taoyuan Town to collect it." ”
After speaking, he hung up the sedan curtain and said, "I will go back and ask someone to evaluate the value of this batch of things, and give you your share when I come next time." ”
I smiled, a little apprehensive in my heart, this girl guessed how my mind was so accurate.
Until they were far away, I was still thinking about the deal.
Li Ersan dragged me next to me and said, "Second Brother Xu, I'm afraid this sister is not seducing you, look at your smile, tsk, your soul is gone, right?"
I reflexively kicked him in the ass and said, "What nonsense? ”
I reflexively kicked him in the ass and said, "What nonsense? ”
