———— the following text————

Maybe Zhao Yu didn't know that Mao Jue had served as the county magistrate in Ye County for more than 20 years, never accepted gifts from others, never went to other people's banquets, and never easily invited people with a big face in Ye County to eat at home.

It is precisely for this reason that after the wealthy businessmen and families in the county town of Riye received the invitation, they almost did not react.

Mao Jue, Mao Guoqi, the stubborn and upright, the old county magistrate who makes people hate it but makes people involuntarily respect, actually invited him to drink for the first time?

That's a ......

Don't talk about what kind of wine you drink, even if it's a bowl of water, you have to go and have a good time and see what happened.

The next day, in the early morning of the next day, those businessmen and family heads who were invited by Ye County came to the county government one after another, and for a while, the street and alley in front of the county government were overcrowded, and the carriages gathered here almost blocked this street and alley.

Under the guidance of those officers in the county office, the figures with heads and faces in the city were invited to the back office.

Speaking of the size of the back office, in fact, as far as the entire county government is concerned, the size of the area is far less than that of the township mansion, not to mention that Mao Gong thinks that the front office is a place for office affairs and cannot do private affairs, so that the group of people invited are crowded in the small courtyard of the back office at the moment, and the small courtyard is crowded, and the six benches prepared in advance are not enough to accommodate so many people, so that more than half of the people can only stand.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yu was secretly shocked by the appeal of this old man Mao in Ye County, which really deserved to be an old county magistrate who had been in office for more than 20 years.

At the same time, there is also some envy of the wealth of Ye County.

Although he didn't know how many rich families he had in Luyang County, he was definitely not as good as Ye County.

Seeing that the people were almost there, Mao Jue led Zhao Yu out of the study and came to the overcrowded courtyard.

When everyone in the courtyard saw this Mao Gong, they saluted and greeted him, and even joked.

"Mao Gong, please have a drink today?"

"It seems that this courtyard can't be opened, why don't you move to the wine shop below?"

"Mao Gong, is the wine in your house enough for so many people here?"

In the face of everyone's jokes, Mao Jue smiled and said nothing, after walking in front of everyone, he pressed his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then, he arched his hand and said: "Everyone come to appreciate your face, the old man is grateful......"

Before the words fell, I heard a laugh in the crowd: "Don't say that Mao Gong invites you to eat and drink, even if you ask for a bowl of water to drink, then we have to come!" ”

Hearing this, everyone in the courtyard laughed in unison.

Indeed, it is still a very rare thing for this old man to ask for a drink.

Mao Jue smiled and waited for everyone to quiet down again, and then he said with a straight face: "Actually, the old man invited you to come today, not for official business, but for private affairs......

After that, he turned his head to face Zhao Yu, beckoned Zhao Yu to come to him, and immediately introduced to everyone: "Old man Rong introduces to you, this son is the second son of Luyang Township, Zhao Yu, is a young and smart little baby, today he is imploring the old man to help, and invited you here, hoping to discuss a business with you." ”

With that, he walked over to the small stool and sat down.

I saw that in front of everyone's eyes, Zhao Yu arched his hand towards everyone in the courtyard.

"The second son of the Marquis of Luyang?"

"Luyang townsman? Zhao Jing, Zhao Gongyu? ”

"Well, it is said that Zhao Gongyu and Mao Gong are friends for the ...... year"

Everyone in the courtyard looked at Zhao Yu and whispered.

Luyang Township Marquis and Mao Gong are New Year's friends, the latter for some reason invited everyone to discuss a business matter, although this matter is somewhat contrary to Mao Gong's upright and non-favoritist character, but it is also reasonable, but the problem is, no matter how it is Luyang Township Marquis Zhao Gongyu to come forward, what is his son's appearance? Besides, it's so young.

At this time, Mao Jue stood up again and said to everyone: "Everyone, give the old man a thin noodle and listen to this son quietly." ”

Hearing this, the people who were talking in the courtyard gradually quieted down.

Zhao Yu gratefully glanced at Mao Jue, who was sitting down again, and then said to everyone present: "You don't have to care about my age, just pay attention to what I say next." …… Maybe you don't know that General Wang Shangde, who is stationed in Wancheng, is preparing to build a military market in order to better fight the rebels, and use the profits of the military market to earn money and grain as military salaries and rations. ”

So saying, he took out the voucher from his bosom, shook off the silk cloth, pinched the two corners of it, and hung it in front of everyone.

Just like Mao Jue's reaction when he saw this thing, when he saw this certificate, everyone in the courtyard was shocked, and they couldn't speak with their eyes open.

"This ......"

A middle-aged man sitting in the front row asked in surprise, "Is it really the certificate issued by General Wang?" ”

Zhao Yu smiled when he heard this: "Of course it's true, who dares to fake this kind of thing?" ”

Everyone in the courtyard nodded secretly when they heard this, choosing to believe Zhao Yu's words.

Also, not to mention that it has Wang Shangde's signature and general's seal on it, who dares to fake this thing?

I have to say that the power of this certificate is indeed huge, if it is said that everyone in the courtyard only quieted down because of Mao Gong's face, then at this moment, they really wanted to learn more things from Zhao Yu's mouth.

And Zhao Yu did not disappoint them, and told in a seductive manner: "What is the military market? Some people may know, some people may not know, to put it simply, it is a market for the army, and all the goods in the market are sold to the soldiers under the command of General Wang, of course, sometimes they will directly trade with General Wang, what does this mean? Ladies and gentlemen, under General Wang's command, there are more than 100,000 or 200,000 troops, it's not that I despise Ye County, how many people are there in Ye County? The county seat plus the township, I estimate that there are less than 10,000 households, 50,000 or 60,000 people, according to this calculation, General Wang's military market is worth going to three Ye counties...... At first glance it may seem so, but in fact, it is much more than three times that of Ye County! Take alcohol as an example, how many people in Ye County drink? According to 50,000 or 60,000, 20,000, almost, right? After all, most of the women and children must be removed, and what about General Wang's military market? The more than 100,000 or 200,000 soldiers under his command, they are all young and strong men, I don't say that everyone is good at drinking, the cold winter is coming, always those who don't like to drink, they also have to drink some wine to drive away the cold, right? Yexian County is about 20,000, and there are more than 100,000 or 200,000 soldiers in the military market, which is a tenfold difference. ”

Listening to Zhao Yu's words, the courtyard became quieter and quieter, and it was no wonder that a brand-new huge market ten times that of Ye County really hooked the hearts of the people present, making them involuntarily listen carefully to Zhao Yu's narration, and gradually ignore Zhao Yu's age.

Facing the gradually silent crowd, Zhao Yu shook the voucher in his hand, and said with a smile: "These tens of thousands of military cities, not to mention that my township marquis mansion can't be satisfied, even if I am Luyang County, I can't be satisfied, in this case, I thought of Ye County...... To put it bluntly, I came to Ye County today with the intention of leading everyone in Ye County to General Wang's military market to make money. ”

Everyone in the courtyard looked at each other.

Suddenly, someone sitting in the front row spoke: "Second son...... That's the right name, right? …… The second son bluntly said that he would lead me to General Wang's military market to make money, which is of course a good thing for us, but I have a few questions, I wonder if the second son can solve my doubts? ”

Zhao Yu turned his head to look and found that it was a middle-aged man with a slightly bloated body, and he asked politely, "What do you call your feet?" ”

The middle-aged man arched his hand and said, "In Lower Weip, there are some uncommendable small businesses in the city......

Before he finished his words, someone in the crowd smiled and said, "Wei Laosan, you are too humble, at least half of the people in our Ye County are drinking the tea fried by your family." Not to mention that you still have alcohol to buy and sell at home, right? ”

"Small business, small business, not commendable." Naweop said with a smile that caused many people around him to laugh, some kind and some disdainful.

Immediately, he turned his head to look at Zhao Yu and asked again, "I wonder if the second son can solve my doubts?" ”

Zhao Yu nodded, arched his hand and said, "Please speak." ”

Seeing this, Na Wei Zhengse said: "First of all, I want to ask, the second son took us to the military market to make money, what is the benefit to your father and son?" ”

Seeing that the other party asked so bluntly, Zhao Yu shook his head in a straight way, and then said with a straight face: "My father and Mao Gong have been friends for many years, so I love you and Wu...... If you don't even believe a three-year-old child, I won't mention it. So, what can I promise here, what can I promise? I promised that I would persuade General Wang Shangde to buy some of your goods at the market price, but in return, I would take 10% of the proceeds! ”

Hearing Zhao Yu's words, the courtyard was suddenly silent.

After a while, Na Wei Pu said with a strange expression: "What the second prince means is that if the second prince takes Wei to sell a jar of wine to General Wang's military market, if this jar of wine is sold for a hundred copper coins, I will get ninety copper coins, and the second prince ...... Or your mansion, you can get ten pieces for nothing? Is that so? ”

"Yes." Zhao Yu nodded.

"Freight on the way...... It is also borne by Wei? ”

"Yes." Zhao Yu nodded again.

Suddenly, everyone in the courtyard seemed to explode and began to discuss, and some people even immediately accused Zhao Yu of being greedy.

Think about it, they shipped goods and manpower to the military market, while the Luyang Township Marquis Mansion did nothing, and it was so white that no one could bear it.

"I can't agree with it!"

"I can't agree with it!"

"I can't say yes!"

Immediately, everyone in the courtyard expressed their stance one after another, but more people frowned and watched, because they found that Zhao Yu's expression was very calm, and this calm demeanor should not appear on the face of a ten-year-old child at all.

After a while, seeing that the voices in the courtyard had calmed down a little, Zhao Yu shook his head and explained: "To be exact, my township mansion is not doing nothing. Didn't I say that? I can guarantee that General Wang will be persuaded to buy the goods in your hands at the lowest market price, take the wine that this uncle surnamed Wei just gave an example, if the market price is 100 copper coins for a jar of wine, but who dares to guarantee that General Wang will not lower the price? In business, I believe that General Wang also hopes to buy more wine at a lower price, and if this uncle surnamed Wei is lowered to ninety copper coins, even if he does not have the commission of my township marquis' mansion, he will get this amount; What's more, if he is devalued to eighty copper coins, then he will only have eighty copper coins; And my township marquis's mansion can guarantee to persuade General Wang to buy it at the market price, so that this uncle can always get ninety dollars. Even, it may not be impossible to achieve a premium, that is, to exceed the market price, for example, let General Wang buy it for 110 pieces, so that this uncle's income will be higher than 90 pieces. This is one one, and as for the second one......"

He shook the voucher in his hand, chuckled and said, "Second, that's the voucher in my hand!" …… I can guarantee that this certificate in my hand is absolutely unique at the moment. Don't think you can get it easily, if anyone doesn't believe in evil, you might as well contact that General Wang in private to see if you can get a certificate that is exactly the same as mine!" …… I bet on him, I can't! ”

Looking at Zhao Yu's calm and conceited appearance, everyone in the courtyard looked at each other, and they didn't know how to refute for a while.
