The small fishing village where Li Sanjian and others live in Danzhou, Qiongtai and Qingzhen is close to the sea, and the place is relatively remote, except for some busy fishermen on weekdays, it is basically deserted, and there are almost no people.

But today, it is a sea of people, full of people, it is very lively, not only the old and young of the fishing village here have rushed to see the excitement, even the fishermen of the nearby fishing village have rushed over, just like the market.

Everyone came for one purpose, to watch Li Sanjian and the businessmen fight. This is an unprecedented thing for the fishermen of Qiongtai, in the past, the merchants came to receive the goods, and they generally offered what price, and the fishermen honestly sold it to them, otherwise what could they do? Most fishermen have never even been to Danzhou, and their ancestors have stayed by the sea for generations, so how do they know the outside world? Where do I know the price of seafood outside?

There is also Li Sanjian is a well-known dementia child, he has been a fool since he was a child, and now he actually stands up to reason with the businessmen, which makes everyone very surprised in their hearts, they all want to see how Li Sanjian and the businessmen reason, of course, some people want to see how Li Sanjian is ugly.

Fu Erniang is happy and scared, happy that her child dares to reason with the public, and what he says is clear and reasonable, which shows that Li Sanjian is not a demented child at all, but a smart person.

Fu Erniang was afraid that the evil businessmen or officials would not let Li Sanjian go, and she was afraid that Li Sanjian would be in danger.

"That's it." The more Li Sanjian spoke, the more excited he became, and then picked up a pearl the size of a dragon's eye, which was round and jade, without a trace of impurities.

Li Sanjian picked up the pearl and said: "This bead is round and jade, without any impurities, as the saying goes, a penny is a penny, it is big and round, and the luster is even." May I ask this old man, how much is such a rare treasure worth in Tokyo? ”

Li Sanjian asked the old man again.

The old man was speechless, but he still replied truthfully: "Priceless! ”

"Priceless treasures are still valuable, so please make it clear." Li Sanjian asked.

"At least it can be sold for more than 800 pieces." The old man pondered for a moment before replying.

The crowd around them suddenly let out a burst of exclamations, twenty or thirty yuan can buy a bucket of rice, and the rice bought for eight hundred yuan is estimated to fill the small fishing village, how can this not make them shocked?

Fu Gui's father and son were even more shocked to open their mouths wide, and their jaws were about to fall to the ground.

Of course, Fu Gui understood that the price of pearls sold to the mainland would definitely increase several times, but he never expected that the price difference would be so large, it was simply appalling.

"You're not wrong about what you're asking for the price, am I?" Li Sanjian picked up a pearl with some impurities and said, "Do you see the yellow halo on it?" This is not an impurity, this is the flesh and blood of the people, every year of pearl diving, how many people stay in the pearl pond forever? How many families have died? How many wives have lost their husbands and sons have lost their fathers? How many wives are separated? ”

Li Sanjian then shouted sharply: "The beads that were so valuable in exchange for their lives were exchanged by you for a few buckets of rice, a few liters of wine, and a few catties of salt, so cheap, was your conscience eaten by dogs?" ”

"Yes, Jian'er is so right."

"What a black-hearted businessman, it's a loss of conscience."

"If you don't sell it, you won't sell it even if you starve to death."

"What was sold to them in the past, today they must be told to spit out, otherwise they will not be able to leave this island."

Although the Li people are more peaceful and self-conscious on weekdays, they bully people like this, which makes them suddenly angry, Li people do not bully people, but some people bully to the head, but no one flinched, and they were willing to fight with their lives.

Everyone had red eyes, and they all surrounded the merchants and scolded angrily, and some people had already drawn out their pearl diving knives and were about to step forward.

The merchants were so frightened that they retreated behind the guards, looking at the angry lizards in fear.

Chen Yide glanced at Li Sanjian and the old man viciously, then tried to stabilize his panicked mood, raised his hands and said loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, don't be impatient, please listen to what the old man has to say." ”

After Fu Gui waved his hand to silence the people, he said coldly to Chen Yide, "What do you have to say?" Say it. ”

In the past, Fu Gui still thought that Chen Yide was a good person, and the price he gave was higher than that of other businessmen, but now it seems that Chen Yide is nothing more than to collect more beads and seek more profits.

The Li people have always been tooth for tooth, blood for blood, and speaking with a sharp blade.

Chen Yide glared at Li Sanjian and said: "The kid is so demagogic, what is his intention? That's right, you're right, high-grade beads can be sold for a good price in Beijing or elsewhere, but boy, you think things are too simple, do you know how many passes you have to go through along the way to lose pearls? How many tax cards do I have to go through? How many taxes do I have to pay? Also, do you know how far this place is from Kyoshi? ”

"It's just a thousand mountains and rivers." Li Sanjian replied.

Qiongtai is very far away from Kaifeng Prefecture, thousands of mountains and rivers, can be transported by water, through the trough transportation is much easier than land transportation, much more convenient.

This is basic common sense, how can Li Sanjian not understand? As for the tax along the way, there must be a lot of taxes, Li Sanjian doesn't have to think about it to understand, but no matter how you say it, it is impossible for the gap to be so big, you must know that the income can reach more than 800 times.

If Chen Yide opened up the joint, things would be much simpler, and Chen Yide should have done the same, Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.

"Do you still know that there are thousands of mountains and rivers? Not bad, very good. Chen Yide sneered: "People say that the kid is a demented child, it seems to be a fallacy, the road is difficult, a bucket of rice in Beijing is only worth twenty or thirty Wen, but it can be transported here, do you know how much?" It's more than five times as much, and it will cost a lot of money to come and go. ”

Li Sanjian smiled slightly when he heard this, pointed to his nose and asked with a smile, "Who am I?" ”

"Who knows who you are?"

"Children who have not dried up the milk, I don't know how thick the sky is."

"That is, I don't know where the pickled goods popped up, and they dared to block the grandfathers' financial path."

The merchants couldn't wait to bite Li Sanjian to death, and then chewed it and swallowed it...

Seeing that this business is about to be negotiated, and seeing that it will not be long before the money will be rolling in, but who knew that such a thing would be killed halfway...

How could the businessmen not hate Li Sanjian so much? I can't wait to eat it alive.

Chen Yide waved his hand to stop the noisy voices of the merchants, and asked Li Sanjian: "Dare to ask Xiao Langjun's name?" ”

Li Sanjian smiled and said, "Please call me third brother!" ”

"Haha, third brother!"

Everyone burst out laughing when they heard this, although Song called the young man brother, but Li Sanjian's appearance was obviously ridiculous.

Li Sanjian clasped his fists and made a square gesture and said with a smile: "Third brother, although I know very little about this world, I also understand that rice, wine, salt and other things will be transported from the capital?" ”

Hearing this, the old man nodded and said, "It can be transported from Yongzhou, Guangzhou and other places." ”

"They are still buying grain in Danzhou." An informed person shouted.

Li Sanjian smiled mockingly at Chen Yide, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"So what?" Chen Yide sneered: "Can beads be eaten as rice?" The beads are of no use in your hands, and the beads in your hands cannot be sold without us. ”

Chen Yide is telling the truth, pearls are indeed inferior to a bag of rice and salt in the hands of these fishermen, and they can't eat enough rice, so what is the use of such luxuries?

The most important thing is that Chen Yide has already cleared the checkpoints along the way, and if Li Sanjian and others sell it on their own, they will not be able to get out of Qiongtai at all.

"So what?" Li Sanjian asked with a smile: "The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, you don't want to accept it, someone else collects it, as long as it is profitable, a lot of people will come to buy it." ”

At this time, the eyes of some businessmen who followed Chen Yide flickered a little, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

"You... Milky child, have you done the master? Chen Yide finally became angry at this time and said loudly.

"The beads are picked by us, and he is my grandson, of course he is the master." Fu Gui took a step forward and asked loudly to the crowd: "You say, can Jian'er be the master?" ”

"Yes, why not?"

"The third brother has the final say, and we will obey the orders of the third brother."

"The third brother said that he would sell it, and the third brother would not sell it if he didn't sell it."

"Yes, yes, the third brother is from our clan, why can't he call the shots?"

All the lizards responded loudly, among which Li Sanjian's third uncle, Fu Scale, shouted the loudest.

"You ... You guys... Chen Yide waved his hand angrily and said, "Come on, then take this little one." ”

When several officials and officials who followed Chen Yide heard this, they stepped forward with chains and sneered at Li Sanjian: "Boy, disturb the imperial court to collect pearls, come with us." ”

Li Sanjian saw that the two strong officials were about to step forward to take him, and he was so frightened that he took a few steps back.

If you're rough, your small body isn't their opponent...

Fu Mo and Fu Liang took a step forward together, stopped in front of Li Sanjian, and shouted: "I think which of you dares? Try my nephew? ”

"Damn, fight with them!"

All the people copied the guys one after another, preparing to merge with Chen Yide and others.

"Don't be rude... Li Sanjian then shouted loudly: "If you violate the less... ”

Li Sanjian turned his attention to the old man for help.

"Restraint strategy!" The old man spoke again at a critical moment.

"Yes, yes, the policy of restraint, if you violate the policy of the imperial court, I think you will have a few heads?" Li Sanjian hurriedly said.

Although Li Sanjian did not understand what the policy of restraint was, he understood that the imperial court must have some preferential treatment for ethnic minorities.

"This..." Hearing this, the officials and officials suddenly stopped, and glanced at Chen Yide hesitantly.

Li Sanjian and the old man's questions and answers had already angered Chen Yide, so Chen Yide asked the old man angrily, "Who are you?" ”

"The old man is just a country cloth cloth." The old man smiled.

Country cloth? Definitely not, Chen Yide secretly said in his heart, judging from the expression and bearing of this old man, it is definitely not a country cloth, he must have been an official in the imperial court, and he is not a petty official.

"Actually, Chen Huishou, we are villagers who have always done our duty, and we are nothing more than a mess." Li Sanjian then said with a smile: "As long as Chen Huishou raises the purchase price, everything is still negotiable." ”

Stop when it's time to stop, the steps still have to be given to him, Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.

"Well, what do you think it should be?" Chen Yide had to admit it, the arrogant Yidi really launched a ruthless attack, maybe his old life would be lost here.

"That's it." Li Sanjian then said to Fu Gui: "Grandpa, please arrange some water and wine, and the kid will have a good talk with Chen Huishou." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Fu Gui replied with a smile.
