"This kind of thick snow is pleasing to the eye......

When Cao Ju took Wei Pu and other Ye County businessmen to negotiate with Kong Jian, Zhao Yu took Jingnu, Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng to stand not far away, looking around the white city.

"It's so pretty......"

Muttering to herself, Shizunu bent down to pick up a cloud of snow from the ground.

"Don't catch a cold......"

Zhao Yu admonished, and immediately, as if he had thought of something, he took the handful of snow from Jing Nu's hand, kneaded it into a snowball shape, and threw it towards Zhang Ji, who was watching privately not far away, with a malicious smile.

With a snap, the snowball hit the back of Zhang Ji's head.

In the laughter of Ma Cheng giving Zhao Yu a thumbs up, Zhang Ji turned his head blankly and reached out to pull out a handful of snow from the back of his neck.

"Ma Cheng did it!"

Zhao Yu pointed to Ma Cheng, who was snickering, and said.

Ma Cheng was dumbfounded, waved his hand and explained, "It's not me ......"

"It's you, you."

Jing Nu covered her mouth and snickered, and nodded vigorously in agreement with her young master's words.

Zhang Ji is not stupid, of course he can guess that it was Zhao Yu who attacked him just now, but in this current atmosphere, he was happy to pretend to be stupid, only to see him glaring at Ma Cheng and feigning anger, and even grabbed a handful of snow from the snow on the ground, pinched it into a snowball and threw it at Ma Cheng.

Ma Cheng was angry and funny, and shouted to stop Zhang Ji: "Zhang Ji, Zhang Ji, it's not me, I said it's not me, you...... I returned my hand! You fuck you! ”

After a few laughs and scolding, Ma Cheng and Zhang Ji threw snowballs at each other.

At this time, Zhao Yu and Jingnu were mixed aside, sometimes helping Zhang Ji lose Ma Cheng, sometimes helping Ma Cheng lose Zhang Ji, anyway, Zhang and Ma The two guards would not take the initiative to attack them.

After playing around like this for a while, Cao Ju took Wei Pu and several other businessmen from Ye County to Zhao Yu's side, breaking the harmonious frolic of the master and servant.

"Second son."

Arching his hand towards Zhao Yu, Cao Ju whispered to the former: "That Kong Jian will lower the price for me......

From the side, the businessmen of Ye County, led by Wei Pu, also spoke one after another.

"Second son, you said a few days ago that General Wang's military market would buy our goods at the market price, but in the current situation, the other party is only willing to buy ...... at seventy percent of the market price."

"yes, yes, that's not at all what we agreed to."

In the midst of everyone's gossip, Zhao Yu finally figured out what happened, and this matter was very simple, that is, Kong Jian deliberately lowered the price to everyone.

"Remember to eat and not remember."

With a calm face, he glanced at Kong Jian, who was bowing his head in the distance to record something, and Zhao Yu pressed his hand and motioned to everyone: "Everyone, don't be impatient, let me negotiate and see." ”

As he spoke, he walked towards Kong Jian in the distance.

For Kong Jian, the old enemy of his father Luyang Township, Zhao Yu naturally wouldn't give any good face, and stepped forward and asked unceremoniously: "Kong Wenju, are you deliberately unhappy?" ”

At this time, Kong Jian was lowering his head to record something in a booklet, and when he heard the voice, he subconsciously turned his head and saw Zhao Yu standing beside him with an unkind expression.

I have to say that although Zhao Yu is just a ten-year-old child, only as tall as Kong Jian's chest, when he sees Zhao Yu, especially when he sees this son's gloomy face, Kong Jian still inevitably feels uneasy in his heart.

Because he knows very well that the seemingly immature child in front of him is actually hidden deep in the city and wrist that ordinary people can't reach.

You must know that his position as the county guard of Nanyang was forcibly taken away by this child.

But......

『…… I have a reason, what can you do to me?'

With a sneer in his heart, Kong Jian pretended to see Zhao Yu's appearance, and greeted in surprise: "This is not ...... Is the second son of the Luyang townsman? Second son, don't come unharmed. ”

"Humph!" Zhao Yu snorted lightly and said, "Don't get close to me, Kong Wenju, you are lowering the price for no reason, what does this mean?" ”

"I don't understand what the second son means."

Kong Jian shook his head and said: "Under the entrustment of General Wang to preside over the affairs of the military market, the second prince and all the businessmen came to the market, and he was naturally welcome to do so, but those businessmen asked for trade at the market price, and Kong thought it was inappropriate." …… Please don't mind, the second son, under the entrustment of General Wang, naturally has to consider the interests of General Wang. ”

Seeing that the other party was a general Wang, Zhao Yu didn't understand what was going on, he raised his right hand and hooked his finger towards Kong Jian.

Seeing this, Kong Jian hesitated for a moment, but finally bent down and leaned his head closer to Zhao Yu.

At this time, I saw Zhao Yu whispering in Kong Jian's ear: "Kong Wenju, believe it or not, I can make you stay by General Wang's side?" ”

Hearing this, Kong Jian subconsciously took a half step back, his expression uncertain.

If it had been placed in the past, he would never have cared about this threat, but Zhao Yu in front of him ......

It is undeniable that his previous position as the county guard of Nanyang was forcibly removed by this Zhao Yu.

Swallowing his saliva, Kong Jian said in a low voice: "Second son, I am just thinking about the interests of General Wang......

"Less of this!"

Zhao Yu unceremoniously interrupted Kong Jian's words, and said coldly: "General Wang created a military market, and now there is a shortage of businessmen to settle in, even if it is worth it to attract businessmen at a premium, but you deliberately lower the price, trying to buy this batch of goods at a cheap price, my father often says that you are talented but not virtuous, although you have a loss of virtue, but you have some talent, I don't believe you don't understand the truth, in the end, you still want to embarrass me...... It seems that the lesson given to you last time was not enough to impress you. ”

"No, it's not." Kong Jian hurriedly denied it.

"......" Zhao Yu didn't speak, just looked at Kong Jian coldly, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on Kong Jian's forehead for no reason.

He licked his lips and confessed: "The second son forgives the sin, and he will not dare to offend your father and son again...... Under ......"

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Zhao Yu's face, lowered his voice and said, "Then according to the second son's wishes, buy it at the market price...... It's just an unintentional mistake below, and the second son must not worry about it. ”

"Unintentional mistakes? Hmph!'

Zhao Yu snorted coldly, and said expressionlessly: "At a premium of two percent at the market price, and in the future, my 'Luye Freemasonry' and your military market transactions are all according to this standard, I can pretend that this incident has not happened." ”

Hearing this, Kong Jian's eyes widened in shock.

A premium of 20% at the market price?!

Swallowing his saliva, Kong Jian said with a face full of embarrassment: "Second son, if you are deliberately embarrassed, it is really this condition, and you really can't agree to it...... If I agree to this condition, I am afraid that General Wang will be able to slash with a sword...... If the second son insists on this, he will ask the second son to negotiate with General Wang in person. ”

Of course, Zhao Yu knew that Kong Jian couldn't be the master, and when he heard this, he snorted coldly: "Lead me to General Wang!" ”

“…… Be. ”

Under the stunned gaze of a group of Ye County businessmen, Kong Jian led Zhao Yu to the depths of the city in a low voice.

"Steward Cao."

Several Yexian businessmen led by Wei Pu secretly approached Cao Ju and asked in a low voice, "Your mansion and General Wang...... Could it be that there is a deep friendship? Why is that Master Kong so ...... in front of the second son? Humble? ”

In fact, Cao Ju, who saw the scene with his own eyes, was actually surprised in his heart.

"I haven't heard that the townsman has any friendship with that general Wang."

He thought to himself.

But thinking about it, Cao Ju also understood that he should not weaken his momentum in front of these Yexian businessmen, after all, he could also see that the second son of his family seemed to have the intention to accept this group of people for his own use.

So, he didn't answer, but just smiled profoundly.

Seeing his smile, Wei Pu and other Ye County businessmen looked at each other, one by one thoughtfully.

At this time, Zhao Yu had already taken Jingnu, Zhang Ji, and Ma Cheng to follow Kong Jian to the mansion where Wang Shangde lived.

Unlike the previous two days, Wang Shangde did not stay in the study today, but practiced his sword in the snow-covered inner courtyard.

I have to say that it was such a cold weather, but this General Wang waved the sword in his hand bare-chested, as if he didn't feel cold at all.

Looking closely at this general Wang's body, I saw that his body was covered with scars, which showed that this general was actually not the type to sit firmly in the rear and command the army.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Zhao Yu and his party walking towards this side, Wang Shangde accepted the move, stood in place and let out a long breath, and then smiled and teased Zhao Yu: "Boy, you are very idle, are you here to deliver wine today?" ”

Zhao Yu arched his hand and smiled: "This time, the kid did bring more than a dozen truckloads of wine, but these drinks cost money......

Wang Shangde understood as soon as he heard it, put the sword back into the scabbard casually, and said with a smile: "You are fast." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Kong Jian a few times.

Seeing this, Kong Jian stepped forward and told Wang Shangde what had happened, and Wang Shangde frowned when he heard it: "A premium of two percent at the market price?" Boy, you're greedy. …… If you persuade those businessmen from Ye County to come to Wang's military market, you must also have a lot of benefits. ”

Zhao Yu didn't hide it, and said truthfully: "Don't dare to hide General Wang, the kid pulls the Yexian businessmen to come to the general's military market, and after the transaction, he will take 10% as a reward." …… General, as you know, the Rushui counties have cut off the funding given to me Luyang, and I, Luyang, can only raise money on my own. ”

"Heh, you're really sincere." Wang Shangde glanced at Zhao Yu with interest, and was very satisfied that Zhao Yu honestly told the truth about the benefits he had obtained.

He thought for a while and said, "Wang admires your father and son's efforts for Lu Yang, but you don't expect Wang to help you with anything." …… Buying at market parity is already Wang's limit, and the premium is 20% ......" He shook his head, indicating that he did not approve.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu arched his hand and said: "General, don't lose a big one because of a small one. In the past, there was a monarch who wanted to buy a thousand horses with a thousand gold, but the search for several years failed to do so, and then his servants bought the bones of a thousand horses with five hundred gold. …… If the general treats these merchants at a premium, within a few years, the world's businessmen will gather at the general's office, and at that time, the general can in turn use the military market to make profits and act as military funds! …… If the general is stingy with these two percent premium today, how can he attract those profit-seeking businessmen and make them all gather in the general's military market? What's more, these goods are ultimately sold to the generals under the general's command, as long as the soldiers are willing to use the military pay in exchange for wine and other things, what damage will there be to the general? ”

Wang Shangde frowned and pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhao Yu with interest: "You kid...... There's really a rhetoric every time. That's it, as you say! ”

"The general is wise!"

On the same day, Wancheng Military City bought the goods transported by the Ye County merchants at a premium of 20% of the market price, which made the Ye County merchants unbelievable.

They immediately realized that to be able to get such a price, the young second son really contributed greatly.
