Chapter 279 Merchant

The deliberations were limited to the high-level participation of Lishan, and the send-off almost touched everyone in Lishan.

Qin Lin used flying pigeons to inform the people of the Scorching Sun Mountain City who had not yet arrived in Lishan, and then set off with ten carriages of supplies, passed through Huashan City, and officially stepped out of the area directly under the jurisdiction of Lishan under the escort of the Huashan City Guards led by Zhang Bao.

In fact, the jurisdiction of Lishan is not, except for Huashan City, the surrounding land within a radius of 100 miles belongs to Lishan. Qin Lin and his party walked slowly, and it took a whole time to come to the border of Lishan and Lijiang.

After the borderland, it is the territory of Lizhou.

If Qin Lin and his entourage of more than 500 people entered Lizhou, it would inevitably cause the vigilance of the Lizhou clan and cause unnecessary trouble, so Qin Lin asked everyone to disguise themselves as merchants, and also planted the caravan's flag on the carriage, and Lin Chuyu took the lead in entering Lizhou, holding the customs clearance letter.

In fact, the role of the letter is far less effective than the actual gold and silver.

Lin Chuyu spent ten gold coins to buy off the garrison generals on the border line of Lizhou, and only then did he get the seal that allowed him to pass.

"You owe me ten gold, remember to pay me back when you settle down. When Lin Chuyu came back, he said to Qin Lin.

"Okay, I'll pay it back tenfold, and I'll give you a hundred gold when I get back. "Qin Lin is arrogant.

Chunfen thought carefully in her mind and said: "Brother, we can't spend money at will in the future, we have so many mouths to eat, we still have to buy a house, we have to recruit troops and horses, how much money is not enough, we have to save some." ”

After all, Chunfen was born as a maid, although she is also a rich woman now, she is still simple in terms of spending.

Qin Lin said: "In the future, you will be responsible for managing the money." ”

"Okay. Chunfen is naturally obliged.

Lin Chu also said: "Then I will be responsible for helping you teach your disciples to cultivate martial arts, and you have to give me a position as a clan elder." ”

"It's negotiable. Qin Lin nodded.

After the group entered the territory of Lizhou, they went to the colonel in the direction of Anjing City

As Wei Ying said, the resources of Anjing City are scarce and not a good choice.

On the periphery of Anjing City is a barren Gobi, and only as far as the eye can see, can you faintly see three raised hills.

There were only two mines and a medicine mountain outside Anjing City, and the resources were really scarce to the extreme.

However, it is precisely because of the scarcity of resources that Anjing City is extremely independent and has no quarrel with the world, and other clans in the world have no intention to compete for Anjing City.

Therefore, when Qin Lin's team came to the front of the Anjing City Tower, the lazy soldiers defending the city were extremely surprised.

"In our ruined city, there are still outsiders who want to grab the territory?" the soldiers thought so, raised their guard, and sent three light horses forward to talk to Qin Lin.

The light horse came to Qin Lin and looked at the team spreading behind Qin Lin.

"Who are you?" asked the light horse.

Qin Lin arched his hand: "We are merchants in West Jinzhou, and now in order to expand the caravan route, we want to build a line post house in Anjing City."

"You're going to build a post house in our city?" the three light cavalry soldiers showed surprise and looked at Qin Lin carefully.

It is not uncommon for businessmen to build inns. Each merchant clan would set up post houses on the trade routes, so that their caravans could rest when they passed by, and they could also earn a sum of money for accommodation when other caravans passed by.

However, the construction of a post house in Anjing City is the first time since the opening of the land.

Anjing City also has a history of 1,000 years, but as a border city, it is really not worth the merchants to build a city here, besides, there is a big city called Xiangcheng 50 miles east of the bypassing Anjing City, where it is the gathering place of the merchants.

Qin Lin waved his hand and motioned for Lin Chuyu to step forward.

I just saw that Lin Chuyu was holding a topographic map in his hand, on which was a commercial route, a fake route map drawn by Wei Ying for Qin Lin.

When Lin Chuyu handed the drawings to the light horse, he handed over the three hundred silver tickets in one of the drawings.

She squeezed out a smiling expression and said, "This is our road map, we just passed through Anjing City, and we ask the military master to be accommodating." ”

The soldiers of Anjing City are really poor soldiers, and they don't have any oil and water. When the light rider saw the silver ticket, there was an irrepressible glow between his eyes.

Three hundred silver is really not a lot of money in Huashan City or other cities, that is, it is worth three gold coins, but in Anjing City, especially for these soldiers, one hundred silver is already half a year's salary.

So it's still the same old saying, money can make ghosts grind.

The light cavalry was released, and he returned to the city gate downstairs to help Qin Lin say a few good words, and let the soldiers defending the city open the city gate and allow Qin Lin to enter the city.

However, it was only limited to Qin Lin bringing no more than ten followers into the city.

After all, Anjing City was not big enough, and if more than 500 people entered it, and there was no place in the city that could accommodate so many people, the soldiers would not be at ease with this potential threat alone.

Qin Lin agreed to the soldier's proposal, and only brought Chunfen and Lin Chuyu, as well as the Aji Ado brothers and sisters into the city. The others were led by Qi Li, and camped on the spot.

Entering the city, Lin Chuyu looked at the streets covered with yellow sand, and the houses on the street were all low wooden buildings, all of which reflected the poverty of the arid desert border city.

"The earth is big, you chose such a place. She couldn't help complaining, thinking about the verdant greenery of Lishan, the contrast here is too great.

Qin Lin: "The city has the benefits of the city. ”

"Whatever you want, then what are you going to do next, continue to pretend to be a businessman?Is it really necessary?" Lin Chuyu was more inclined to directly conquer Anjing City by force.

Anyway, it's a city, and presumably the strength of the two clans rooted in Ci is not very good, so it should be easy to deal with.

In fact, it's really easy to deal with.

Qin Lin had already learned from Wei Ying that the two clans in Anjing City, one was the Jiang clan and the other was the Liu clan.

The Jiang clan has about two thousand disciples, except for the head of the family, Jiang Qi, who has the martial arts realm, the five elders are all only cultivated in the warrior realm, not to mention the other disciples, who are basically only hovering in the martial arts realm and the first stage of the warrior realm.

For example, the strength of the rank, it is no exaggeration to say that Lin Chuyu alone is enough to destroy the Jiang family.

The strength of the other Liu clan is similar to that of the Jiang clan, but due to the death of the old head of the Liu clan six years ago, the current family master is only in the samurai realm, causing the Liu clan to lose the right to compete with the Jiang clan for Anjing City.

Therefore, at this time, Anjing City belonged to the Jiang family, and the five thousand defenders of Anjing City were all under the orders of the Jiang family.

But no matter what the guards listened to, if Qin Lin really wanted to destroy these two clans, it would not be difficult at all.

Merely...... There is no injustice and no hatred, and they ran over to destroy them for no reason, which is really a mouthful. Moreover, Qin Lin tried not to move the killing ring as much as possible in principle.

Qin Lin believes in you, you can show your strong strength, and you can fight without blood, but the prerequisite is that you need to have the opportunity to show your strong strength.

When he came to the door of an inn, Qin Lin still habitually came to a city and looked for an inn first.

The shopkeeper of the inn has strong eyesight, and Qin Lin is dressed in the brocade clothes of a businessman, revealing the wealth of the shopkeeper for the first time.

The shopkeeper personally stepped forward to greet him and led Qin Lin to sit down in an accord in the inn.

"What do you want to eat?" Our restaurant's signature braised fragrant pork is famous in Lizhou, do you want to have one?"

The shopkeeper is attentive.

Qin Lin said casually: "It's all right, feel free to serve five or six dishes." ”

"Okay. The shopkeeper responded, and when he was about to retreat, Qin Lin said: "Shopkeeper, I want to ask you about something, I don't know if it's convenient." ”

The shopkeeper paused, hesitated for a few moments.

Qin Lin again: "Don't worry, it's not a big deal, it's just that my caravan wants to build a post house in Anjing City, I don't know if there are mansions for sale in the city?"

"Big mansion, guest officer, don't you know, our Anjing City is from east to west, but it is only fifteen miles, and from south to north it is less than ten miles, so how can a city like ours have a big mansion. ”

"There is no big mansion, so are the mansions of Jiang Mansion and Liu Mansion big?" Qin Lin asked again.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper smiled: "Of course, the houses of the Jiang and Liu families are big, one of them is built in the north of the city, and the other is built in the south of the city, but they are martial arts clans, and some of them have money, so it is impossible to buy a house." ”

"I'm not interested in their house. Qin Lin smiled faintly and continued: "Since there is no big mansion, is there any vacant land for sale?"

"There was a lot of vacant land in the city in the early years, after all, we have a city here, and there are only 70,000 or 80,000 people in the city, but a few years ago, there were several big battles between the martial arts clans in several cities in the east of Lizhou, and tens of thousands of refugees ran to our Anjing City. ”

The shopkeeper smiled wryly.

Qin Lin also smiled bitterly: "If you don't have a big house, if you don't have empty land, then you can only buy more houses and demolish them to build a house." ”

"I'm afraid it's hard. The shopkeeper: "The people of Anjing City have been rooted here for generations, and their houses are all old houses, so they can buy whatever they can." ”

Qin Lin raised his eyebrows: "The price is high enough, and I'm afraid that no one will buy it?"

"It depends on how high the price is, although we are poor in Anjing City, but there is no problem for the people to have a full stomach, so ah, everyone has to get by, and there are not too many ideas. ”

The shopkeeper's pertinence.

In fact, after Qin Lin entered the city, he also clearly felt the blandness of Anjing City, and he didn't have the busy feeling of Huashan City at all.

Qin Lin thought for a while and asked the shopkeeper: "What is the price of an ordinary house here?"

"I'm not good at this, as far as the street in front of my inn is the central axis street that runs through the east and west of Anjing City, and the ordinary houses along the street have to look like one or two gold, and if they go south or north, close to the houses in the north and south business districts, they will be slightly more expensive, and as for other places, basically one gold coin is enough, and the most convenient one is near the east and west gates, and fifty silver should be able to buy a house. ”

"Okay, then there's Shopkeeper Lao to help me with this. ”

Qin Lin heard the price, took out a golden ticket worth ten gold from his arms, and handed it to the shopkeeper: "I want the houses near the central axis street in front of your door, and I will bid for at least one hundred houses for each one." ”

"Huh?" the shopkeeper froze a little.

Qin Lin said: "The price of hardware is more than twice as high, there should be someone willing to sell, this ten gold gold ticket is my thank you gift to the shopkeeper, if it is done, I am willing to pay another ten gold as a thank you." ”

"Guest, guest, you're not kidding. The shopkeeper's eyes were firmly fixed on the golden ticket in Qin Lin's hand.

In Anjing City, gold tickets are too rare, and it is already impossible to use silver tickets, and ordinary people can only make copper coins.

Qin Lin smiled: "I'm definitely not joking, but I have a request, I want to connect the houses, and I will all demolish them and build a house." Also, there is only three days, and if the third queen does not negotiate the sale of a hundred houses, then I can only change the route of the caravan and bypass Anjing City. ”

"Three, okay, no problem, I'll go and ask the guest officer. The shopkeeper's heart beat faster at Qin Lin's financial strength.

Qin Lin said: "Then there is Shopkeeper Lao to help me handle this matter as soon as possible!"

"Definitely, definitely. The shopkeeper accepted the golden ticket and happily withdrew from the Accord.

The other four people sitting in front of Qin Lin all had their faces twisted.

"Brother, you're too generous. Chunfen said.

Lin Chuyu followed closely: "That's right, the shopkeeper just now, a house here is just the price of one or two gold, you have to give hardware, there is really no place to spend the money." ”

Aji: "Master, even if you have money, you have to be careful in your calculations, you give the shopkeeper a thank you gift of ten gold, and you have to give ten gold when you go back, it is really the same as the money blown by the wind." ”

Qin Lin accepted criticism, but he didn't think he had done anything wrong.

After all, at the moment, Qi Li, and the Snow Fox clan are still outside the city, if they don't buy the mansion as soon as possible, Qi Li, they will have to sleep in the open.

The dishes were served on the table, and the people at the table filled their stomachs one bite at a time amid the accusation of Qin Lin's indiscriminate spending.

Just as they were eating deliciously, there was a commotion outside the Accord.

Qin Lin could clearly hear dozens of footsteps coming towards the Accord.

Soon, the door of the Accord was opened, and a young man dressed in brocade clothes and several disciples wearing practice clothes unceremoniously squeezed into the Zheng of the Accord

"Yes, it's quite hearty. The man spoke, glancing over the dish, and then glanced back and forth at Chunfen, Lin Chuyu and Ah Duo.

"He is worthy of being a big businessman, and he is surrounded by beautiful women, which is really enviable. The man's words were with Qin Lin, but his eyes were still fixed on the three beauties.

Qin Lin stood up and arched his hand: "I don't know what this son is called?"

"Under Jiang Donglin. ”

"Jiang ......" Qin Lin smiled faintly when he heard this: "Could it be the lord of Anjing City, a member of the Jiang clan?"

"My father, Jiang Qi, is the lord of Anjing City. ”

Jiang Donglin put on a proud posture, took out two chopsticks from the chopstick holder, and sent them to Zheng

Qin Lin asked, "Then I don't know why Jiang Gongzi came?"

"Matter, listen to the soldiers, you are merchants from West Jinzhou, and you want to build a post house in my Anjing City. Jiang Donglin picked up the vegetables while he was on the side.

Qin Lin said: "We have this idea. ”

"Who are you fooling?" Jiang Donglin looked at Qin Lin coldly: "Everyone in the world says that I am a poor place in Jingcheng, and you businessmen have nothing to do with us to build a post house, could it be that you are going to do a loss-making business?"

"I can't afford it. Qin Lin smiled confidently: "Not only will you not lose, but you will also make a lot of money." ”

"Oh, you're saying something new. Jiang Donglin smiled faintly.

Qin Lin said: "Anjing City has not had a merchant path since ancient times, it is a wasteland, and when we open up this wasteland, there will naturally be more caravans coming, and then it will be an old saying in the mouths of our merchants...... Whoever arrives first earns first. ”

"Haha......" Jiang Donglin seemed to hear a funny joke, and slapped the table from time to time.

He said, "How dare you think that you can attract other caravans by clearing the wasteland, and what are you going to do if they just don't come?"

"They will definitely come, because Xiangcheng is already crowded with caravans, both prices and taxes are rising, and the caravans have long been disgusted, they will definitely come to Anjing City. Qin Lin still maintained a confident expression.

When Jiang Donglin heard this, he no longer smiled, but changed his cold eyes to stare at Qin Lin.

He didn't believe that Qin Lin had come to build the post house.
