Chapter 170: A Born Profiteer
The sun is shining, the sea breeze is blowing, and the sound of the waves of the sea is constantly ringing in everyone's ears. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The endless blue sea looks so beautiful and makes people feel so relaxed.
But now, more than 1,000 military households saw Yanding rushing towards the small mountain bag, and all of them were holding sharp blades, looking murderous.
In desperation, these military households used Ling Yun as a shield, and they retreated and hid behind Ling Yun.
Ling Yun was almost angry to death by these soldiers, what kind of soldier is this! It's just a bunch of shrunken turtles who are greedy for life and afraid of death. There are more than 1,000 of them, and these salters are no more than 300 dead, so they can be scared like this.
But when Ling Yun looked sideways, Dong Qianhu, who had been standing beside him, was trembling like chaff at the moment, and retreated behind the crowd step by step.
For all the scenes in front of him, Ling Yun was angry and funny.
"Kill! Don't let any of them go...... Slaughter that little white face, Lao Tzu invites you to eat meat......"
Listening to the shouts under the mountain bag, nearly two hundred salt dings, all armed with steel knives, iron rulers, and all kinds of weapons, rushed to the small mountain bag and surrounded Ling Yun and the others in the middle.
These salts are just some things that bully the soft and fear the hard, and they shout fiercer than anyone else, but after they really surrounded Ling Yun and the others, no one dared to approach within five steps, it was just a cry of thunder and rain.
When these soldiers saw that Yan Ding did not do anything to them, but surrounded Ling Yun and the others, they relieved themselves and felt that they were worried in vain. People don't come for themselves at all.
Although these military households are timid and afraid of things, they have different personal ideas, and there are also those who are not afraid of things, for example, Dong Da, who was directly selected by Ling Yun before, and Dong Yuntian, who were already grateful to Ling Yun, plus the two of them are also men with strong blood, at this moment, seeing Ling Yun in a heavy siege, he stood up without hesitation, blocked in front of Ling Yun, protected Ling Yun behind him and said: "Adults go quickly, villains come to the back." ”
In addition, there are several people who are also protecting Ling Yun and the others, these people are none other than Zhang Gui's brothers-in-law and Zhang Gui's father-in-law.
In fact, a few of them didn't say how loyal they were, and where could they be loyal when they first met? They just saw that Zhang Gui was also surrounded in the middle, so they stepped forward. Standing in front of Ling Yun is just a piggyback.
That being said, someone dared to come forward, which made Ling Yun very relieved.
Ling Yun stretched out his hand and patted Dong Da and Dong Yuntian on the shoulders and said: "You are very good, from today on, you will follow Long Tianyang to learn archery on bow and horse, long and short weapons, neither a military household nor a recruit, just be the retinue of your own official!" If you want to bring your family to the capital, bring it with you. ”
Hearing Ling Yun's words, several people seemed to be stunned by a huge pie falling from the sky, stunned on the spot, and remained silent for a long time.
And Dong Qianhu, who was hiding at the end of the crowd, said: "No wonder this little white face became such a big official at a young age, and he really has a way of buying people's hearts, just a few words, he pulled a few people to his chariot, although it is impossible to defeat these salt dings, but a few more people can also be brave." ”
However, Ling Yun was not what Dong Qianhu thought, and he did not have the intention of pushing a few people forward to be cannon fodder.
Looking at the few people who were stunned on the spot, Ling Yun smiled and said, "Okay, you guys can stand down for the time being!" A rabble doesn't have to be so exaggerated. ”
After that, Ling Yun walked out of the crowd with Long Tianyang, Nangong Yun, Ling Zhuang, Ling Zhi, Qian Million, and Qian Tuishan.
At this moment, there was also a person squeezed out of the crowd of salt ding, and this person was none other than the bearded salt ding that Ling Yun let go.
With his hands on his waist, he pointed at Ling Yun and said, "Little white face, have you eaten the gall of an ambitious leopard?" Dare to kill so many of my brothers in Lao Tzu's place, and if you know each other, you will be arrested and go back to the Yamen of the Salt Inspection Division with Lao Tzu, otherwise Lao Tzu will cut your body into pieces. ”
Ling Yun smiled, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and Ling Zhuang, who was standing on the side, took out a gold medal from his arms, held it high and said, "You don't have long eyes, look at what this is?" ”
Who knew Luo Hu's next words, he almost knocked Ling Yunlei to the ground, only to see Luo Hu's eyes narrowed slightly, looking carefully at Ling Zhuang's hand, and it took a long time before he nodded and said, "Hmm!" Indeed, it is real gold, and if you give me that piece of gold, I will spare you from death. ”
"Poof"
Ling Yun was simply amused by the words of the beard, and muttered to himself: "Alas! Uneducated, it's terrible. ”
Thinking of this, Ling Yun snapped his fingers again, and Ling Zhi, who was standing on the other side, took out a python robe and a jade belt from the baggage he was carrying, and helped Ling Yun put the python robe on his body in full view.
Only then did he point to his beard and say, "See?" If you don't know how to read, you won't even know this official uniform! ”
How do you know that the next words of Luo Huhu are even more annoying, and he waved his hand directly: "Cut!" In these years, what can't you do with money? As long as you spend a little money at a tailor's shop, what kind of clothes can't be made? Isn't it just a garment embroidered with a snake? ”
"Holy." When Ling Yun heard this, he was almost so angry that he vomited blood.
Long Tianyang stopped doing it when he heard this, took out the waist knife on his waist, pointed at his beard and said: "My lord, that is the emperor's own commander, you kid dares to lead the crowd to besiege the imperial court officials, is it because you want to rebel?" ”
"Yay! Now the world is really strange, a group of goods selling illicit salt, dare to pretend to be officials of the imperial court, and if you don't cut your body today, you really don't know, Lord Ma has three eyes. ”
This doesn't work, that doesn't work, Ling Yun really doesn't have a trick with his beard, it's easy to deal with anyone, I'm afraid of this kind of nonsense.
In desperation, Ling Yun asked Ling Zhuang to take out the emperor's holy decree.
Ling Yun raised the holy decree in his hand high, stared at the beard with his eyes, and said, "Come and see, the emperor's holy decree works or not." ”
How do you know that the beard waved his hand and said: "Cut, you kid even dares to fake clothes embroidered with snakes, holding a piece of yellow cloth in his hand and saying that it is the emperor's holy decree, who believes it!" ”
This time Ling Yun was completely speechless, and nodded angrily: "Okay! If the gold medal I came in person didn't work, the python robe didn't work, and the emperor's decree didn't work, then you left face owed to pump and right face to kick the goods, what works for you? ”
When he heard Ling Yun's words, he laughed and said, "Hahaha! Killing so many of our brothers will do nothing but silver. ”
After Ling Yun listened, he nodded and said, "Hmm! As long as it can be solved with money, then don't call it a matter, let's talk about it! How much are you going to cost? ”
He didn't expect Ling Yun to be so cheerful, although he brought so many people, but the strength that Long Tianyang and Nangong Yun showed before, even now he still has palpitations. If it can be solved with money, he is still happy.
Thinking of this, the beard did not have the previous hostility, inserted the waist knife in his hand into the scabbard, hugged Ling Yun and said: "Childe is also a cheerful person, everyone is just for money, you killed more than a dozen of our brothers before, and each brother compensated fifty taels for the settlement fee, and today there are so many brothers dispatched, each person has to mix two hard-earned money to drink, otherwise, I will not be able to explain to my brothers." So be it! Eighteen brothers died, you compensated nine hundred taels, so many brothers were dispatched today, you gave one hundred and eighty taels, and the beam between us will be over. In the future, everyone is well water and does not interfere with river water, you take your Yangguan Road, and I cross my single-plank bridge. Even if we encounter each other occasionally, we don't interfere with each other. ”
Ling Yun still nodded with a smile on his face and said, "Your algorithm can be regarded as fair!" ”
Seeing that Ling Yun was speaking very kindly, the beard talked more, raised his hand to Ling Yun and hugged his fist and said: "Since Childe is so refreshing, then I will also advise Childe, try to do as little as possible about selling illicit salt, in case you are caught, you may not be able to lose your head, if Childe has a relationship, get enough salt, according to the amount of salt, you can sell how you want to sell illicit salt!" Even if you encounter the brothers on patrol, no one will embarrass you. ”
When Ling Yun heard this, he asked with a puzzled face: "Oh! Why is that? ”
The more he spoke, the more energetic he became, but he pointed his fingers and said: "If there is salt to lead, then it becomes official salt, and if there is no salt lead, it is private salt, and this is the difference." ”
Ling Yun understood a little bit at this time, looked thoughtful, and continued to ask, "Then tell me, where can I get the salt lead?" ”
After hearing this, the beard looked at Ling Yun with some surprise and said, "I said this son, you still dare to sell illicit salt like this?" Of course, the salt quotation was issued by the household department, and then dispersed to various yamen throughout the country, but most of them were filled by officials at all levels. ”
After listening to this, Ling Yun understood, looked at his beard and continued to ask, "I wonder if the emperor can send salt leads?" ”
The beard's eyes widened, and his head nodded like a chicken eating rice, and said, "Of course you can!" Isn't the household department going to listen to the emperor? If there is such a relationship as the emperor, don't you have as much salt as you want? ”
Ling Yun smiled slightly after hearing this, and said to the beard: "Don't talk about the previous things, just what you told me, how can it be worth a thousand taels, this is a bill of exchange of two thousand taels, you take it first, everyone should be a friend, but when my people come here in the future, you have to help a little, and don't embarrass the military households here!" ”
After finishing speaking, Ling Yun took out a bill of exchange from his arms and handed it to Luo Beard.
The beard took the bill of exchange upside down, looked at it for a long time, waved his hand to the side and said, "Little San, didn't you go to a private school for a few days?" Let's see, what exactly is written on it? ”
At this time, a thin young man nodded and stepped forward, looked at the bill of exchange in his beard and said, "Head, I only know these words, and I don't know the rest." ”
"Then what the hell are you talking about, what are these words reading?"
"Huitong Money Village is universal, two thousand taels of silver!"
"What...... What the? Slightly taken aback for a while, he looked at Ling Yun with a beard, and said in disbelief: "I said, you won't be coaxing, right?" I asked for a thousand taels, but you gave two thousand taels? ”
Ling Yun didn't explain much, and said with a slight smile: "Presumably there is a Huitong Money Village in Dengzhou!" You might as well try it, if you get it, you take it out, if the money order is fake, it's not too late for you to come to me again! ”
The beard smiled slightly: "It's not that good, I can still see whether the bill of exchange is true or false, but I don't know the words on it, and I don't understand why you give me so much?" ”
Ling Yun took a few steps forward, came to the side of the beard and said: "If nothing else, I will want the salt of the entire Laizhou in the future, and I will solve the problem of salt, but I hope that your subordinates will not be too careful, and you will only have to make a fortune when the time comes." ”
The bearded man put the bill of exchange in his hand into his arms, turned to the group of salt and said: "Brothers, from today on, as long as the military households of Laizhou Wei do not transport salt out of Laizhou's territory, none of you are allowed to be embarrassed, do you understand?" ”
"Yes......"
"Let's go ......"
After nearly two hundred salt ladies turned around and left, the white lotus pouted at Ling Yun's small mouth and said, "Why did Lang Jun give them so much money? As a rabble of them, it doesn't take much effort for us to clean them up. ”
Ling Yun looked at the back of the beard gradually disappearing, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he sighed: "Forget it, kill the beard today, maybe there will be a goatee tomorrow, besides, killing people is not necessarily the only way to solve things." Multiple friends are better than multiple enemies, and we will use them more in the future! ”
White Lotus is brows were tightly knit, looking at Ling Yun, and asked with an expression of disbelief: "Lang Jun doesn't really want to sell illicit salt, right?" ”
Ling Yun smiled and said, "What's wrong with this?" ”
After finishing speaking, Ling Yun turned around and asked everyone, "You all boil salt here?" Tell me, how much salt can you boil in a year? How much can a stone of salt sell for? ”
At this time, everyone was gossiping: "Under normal circumstances, a few buckets of salt are boiled a day, if the entire Laizhou is a military household that boils salt, there are about 10,000 stone per month, one stone of salt is two dollars of silver, except for the firewood money, if you sell it to salt merchants, you can't even buy subsistence rations, but if you sell private salt, you don't have to worry about losing your head, once you meet the patrol salt Ding can run away, ten days of hard work will be in vain." ”
Ling Yun then looked at the White Lotus and said with a slight smile: "If I ask for a few million stones of salt from the emperor, and each stone of salt is purchased with five coins of silver, and all of them are transported to the capital, what kind of concept do you say?" ”
When White Lotus heard this, she suddenly realized, and smiled sweetly at Ling Yun: "Lang Jun is really a natural profiteer. ”
Ling Yuncai turned to Zhang Gui and said, "Quickly register these people and make a register, and the family and soldiers will make different rosters." ”
"Yes......"
