After relieving his breath, Xu Hui pondered for a moment, pretending to be worried, and said: "Among the many caravans, it is inevitable that there will be people with bad intentions, and it is really impossible to prevent it by taking advantage of business to spy on the movements of the pot. www.biquge.info I wonder how many caravans will come to Huguan in the next few months? ”

Xu Li had a book in his heart, and when he heard her question, he said very neatly: "In the autumn and winter season, the weather is getting colder, and there are many displaced people, so it is inconvenient to travel, and it is from September to February of the next year, there will not be many caravans coming, but the next two months ......."

Speaking of this, he paused, Fang showed a look of difficulty, and hesitated: "You two should also know that the colder the day, the better this charcoal fire." No matter how high the price is, as long as it is not too excessive, there are people who are willing to buy it. From Qingxu Erzhou to Huguan, it takes about two months, so ...... So the next month or two is exactly the time when the caravan comes the most, and we make the most money. ”

Xu Hui bowed his head lightly, and after a while, he said solemnly: "Xu Yuanjun, I think you should release the news to the leader of the caravan, saying that the ore veins of the coal in my Shangdang are important at the top, and among the few with the largest output, one is extremely shallow, has been mined for more than ten years, and is on the verge of exhaustion. The amount of this charcoal sold to the outside world must be reduced, and the price needs to be increased. ”

Hearing that she had fabricated such a lie, Xu Li couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Although Xu Pan doesn't like politics and economics, and rarely pays attention to these things, he also knows the importance of salt and iron, and when he heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and said with some displeasure: "Hui'er, you ......."

"Release the news, as soon as you can demonstrate to the caravan, let them know that for the affairs of the intermediary, my party Xu also has a temper. Second, it can make the center of the caravan fearful and uneasy, and it may do something that causes chaos on its own. Xu Hui thought of an excuse while organizing his language, and said slowly, "The amount of illicit salt we trafficked to Qingxu Erzhou is almost more than the sum of the openly sold and gifted, if you let others know, what will they think?" Don't do business successfully, but instead made a bunch of enemies, offending many families in Jiangnan. ”

As soon as he heard "offended many families in Jiangnan", Xu Li couldn't help but be solemn, Xu Pan also believed this reason, only Lin Xin still looked at Xu Hui thoughtfully. Xu Hui looked around at the three of them, and when he saw Lin Xin's appearance, he couldn't hide it, so he added: "This time I went to Yingchuan, I went with my grandfather to meet Qingzhou Mu Shen Fujun to discuss the exchange of grain for salt. ”

Lin Xin stopped swinging the feather fan, and asked, "Is this true?" ”

Xu Hui bowed his head lightly and did not speak. When the three of them saw this, they all thought that she had admitted it, but they didn't know that she just knew about it, plus she had met Shen Fu with Xu Ze, and watched them talk about the world once, knowing the intention, but not involving serious matters. In other words, before he had time to get involved in this matter, he had to rush to Huguan.

Compared with the eleven states next to it, the two states of Qingxu have a lot of salt and iron, and it is true that they are sold privately to make huge profits. But the vast majority of people buy more salt and less iron in their hands. It's not that there is no money, it's that people don't want to sell. It's like trading with the Qingxu family, a fleet of 100 cars, five of which are ironware, and even pig iron and iron ore are good. If Xu Ze changed to exchanging grain for salt, it would not be impossible to reduce the amount of charcoal sold as appropriate.

Xu Li has been an official for many years, and he has a keen sense of smell, he tasted and chewed several times, and from Xu Hui's words and attitude, he noticed a bit of incongruity, and he suspected that Xu Hui made his own opinion.

He agreed neatly to the next thing, even if it is a favor to sell his heirs, it will be easy to talk and do things in the future, which is nothing. But the matter of salt and iron involves military strategy, and it is the piece that Xu Ze grasps the most, and Xu Li really doesn't dare to agree rashly. So he cautiously asked with a little temptation: "This matter is very important, does the girl want to inform the lord of the lang, wait for the letter from the lord of the lang, and then make a decision?" ”

"How long does it take to send the message back and forth, and how long can the caravan currently in Huguan stay?" Xu Hui guessed Xu Li's thoughts, so he took a deep breath, then looked at him with a smile, and asked with a smile, "Are you planning to detain all of them in the kettle, make them restless, and go back to say a few words to your lord, such as our ability to do things is too poor; Or do you plan to let them come and go freely at such moments, let the suspicious people open the sea and the sky, laugh at the inaction of my party Xu, and make a joke? ”

Although these words did not carry any reprimand, they were undoubtedly extremely serious, Xu Li's movements were slightly sluggish, and he couldn't help complaining in his heart, although the girl in the secret path was young, her idea was very big. But he also had to admit that Xu Hui's words were very reasonable.

The caravan and the responsibility of snooping are things that everyone knows, not to mention that the many caravans that come to Huguan are very hard in the background and cannot be offended rashly. Xu Hui's strategy was to take a tough attitude towards those who were hidden in Huguan, kill one and make an example, and knock on the caravans that came and went, and reduce the exchanges. Xu Li also agrees with this strategy, after all, there is not much better way to do it in the case of concerns. It can reduce the ...... of charcoal sales If you say it, it's like water that you can't get back......

Xu Li is worthy of being the able official that Xu Ze has admired, and almost immediately, he thought of what he should do, so he said to Xu Hui and Xu Pan with some embarrassment, especially to Xu Pan who is located in the upper left: "The girl's decision is naturally not wrong, but it is just a lower official...... Don't dare to agree rashly! ”

As soon as Xu Hui saw it, he knew that Xu Li planned to act according to his words, but he guessed that this matter might be his own master, so he was thinking about how to get him out of this matter, even if Xu Ze pursued it, he would not take any responsibility.

Able to Xu Li, really long-sleeved good at dancing, slippery and hands-free!

I have to say that Xu Li's target was also very well chosen, as soon as he spoke, Xu Hui didn't have time to stop or interrupt, so he heard Xu Pan say dryly: "Hui'er has served by her father's side since she was a child, and when it comes to understanding her father, she dares to say second, no one dares to ...... Oh, no, Uncle Shuping may be able to be called the first ......"

Speaking of this, Xu Pan paused, and after being entangled for a moment, he quickly regained his composure and composure, and said without hesitation: "Since Hui'er said that Father discussed with Qingzhou Mu, then there must be such a thing, even if she told her grandfather about her decision, she got a reply that was definitely agreed, and it took time to come and go." Otherwise, tell the caravan and send a message to your grandfather, and if something happens, I'll take care of it!" ”

Although he was a little angry at Xu Pan's recklessness, he had to say that when he heard that he directly took the responsibility without thinking about it, Xu Hui was still quite moved in his heart. So she helplessly supported her forehead and sighed: "How can the third uncle think of his niece so unresponsible? If the situation changes and more salt is needed, the grandfather blames it, and Hui'er bears it, how can he implicate the third uncle? ”

"It's not going to work!" When Xu Pan heard this, he waved his hand again and again, and said seriously, "I have rough skin and thick meat, and I have been used to family law since I was a child, so I don't care about receiving dozens of whips and punishing how long I kneel in the ancestral hall, even if I am confined, I ...... It's just a little stuffy. But how can your body withstand such punishment? Needless to say, something really happened, and I bear it! ”

Hearing him say this, Xu Hui was angry and funny, thinking that you and I are different from men and women, even if I make any mistakes, I can't be punished by you! No, how did we get involved in getting punished? My grandfather had already thought of saving coal by exchanging grain for salt, and I did it just at the right time. What's more, after the end of this two months of trafficking, it will have to be delayed until at least February next year, and it is not certain that it will be then!

Thinking of this, Xu Hui saw that Lin Xin was secretly having fun on the side, so he pretended to be unhappy and said, "Okay! Uncle Ji Cheng, you obviously saw me and the third uncle being bypassed, but you refused to tell us, it's too much. Originally, I planned to send a jar of liquor with you when I returned to Changzi County, but now it seems that I am too kind! ”

As soon as he heard that the liquor was gone, Lin Xin, who was originally sitting lazily on the chair, stiffened a carp and almost fell off the table due to excessive force. I saw him looking at Xu Hui, telling him again and again, and he couldn't stop saying, "Don't, don't!" Am I wrong, am I wrong? ”

Seeing this, Xu Hui pursed his lips and smiled, Xu Pan also scratched his head and smiled disapprovingly.

Xu Li couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he saw that Xu Hui called Uncle Bai Ding to Lin Xin, but he was very rusty with his uncle.

For a member of a family like Xu Hui, it doesn't matter how outsiders call them uncles and uncles, anyway, they are irrelevant people, and there is nothing wrong with calling them warm, but for family members, they must be cautious about addressing them. Sometimes, the children of the descendants call the family members from the side family an uncle and uncle, which is to recognize the status of the other party in the clan, and the ancestor worship can be ranked first. Xu Li didn't know this, but he still had some bad feelings in his heart.

Even within the five suits, the blood relationship and the sins done by the father and ancestors are really ...... Looks like he hasn't worked hard enough! I don't know if Fujun has the intention of choosing a partner for his granddaughter? I heard that Xu Duwei's daughters were all taught by Mrs. Zhong, if Xu Duwei moved his mind and chose one or two playmates for his daughters, his youngest two daughters, Cao'er and Rui'er, were exactly the same age as Xu Duwei's eldest daughter and second daughter, if they became each other's playmates, would they be able to become familiar with each other?

As soon as this thought moved, it was snuffed out in swaddling clothes by Xu Li, who looked at Xu Hui's face without a trace.

Xu Duwei is so foolish, but the second girl is not an easy person, if she really calculates her family in front of her...... That's it, taking care of the pot for so many years, there is no merit and hard work, among the many children of the Xu family, even if he is not the first, he can still be in the top three, and he is still not opportunistic.
