Qi Huating's leg was not broken, but his buttocks were seriously injured, and he couldn't move when he lay on the ground, and was thrown into the wasteland outside the city gate by Wu Shan and others. If nothing else, it will be difficult for him to survive this winter night, and there is no one to save him before dawn, and there is only a dead end.

"Huating, you and my brother, looking at your current appearance, I don't feel good in my heart. But you betrayed the lord, this is an unforgivable sin, change somewhere else, let alone save a life, even the corpse has long been fed to the wild dogs. Lord Xun only beat you thirty times, because he cared about the old feelings, and the brothers deliberately didn't hurt your muscles and bones when they were executed, but they couldn't bear to do it. In any case, it is worthy of you, as for whether you can survive or not, it depends on your creation. ”

Qi Huating was lying on the cold and hard frozen soil, his nose and mouth were attached to the soil, his cheeks and even his whole body were unconscious, and he wanted to open his mouth to beg for mercy, but even the air he inhaled in his lungs was like a knife cutting the flesh in his throat inch by inch, and the pain was unspeakable. Although it was nearly March, the cold of the spring cold was as good as the day of the moon, the position of the buttocks connected to the thighs was broken, and it was difficult to heal without ten days and a half months of meditation and recuperation, even if it was lucky not to freeze to death, it was necessary to leave the root of the disease and torture the second half of his life.

Wu Shan and the others left, the night would not be delayed by anyone, the cold wind of hunting and hunting made the dead branches of the trees rattle, and a few sinister wild dogs were barking like evil ghosts from hell. After midnight, even the barking of dogs gradually disappeared, and the whole world seemed to be frozen at a fixed moment, with no people, no warmth, no life, and no tomorrow.

Suddenly, there was a noise of footsteps all around, getting closer and closer, and someone exclaimed, "Here", "Found here, there is someone here". As soon as the words fell, a person stabbed Qi Huating in the shoulder with a cooked wooden stick, and seeing that he was motionless, he said, "Master, it's dead!" ”

"Dead?" Tang Zhiyi separated everyone, walked closer, kicked it, and said, "It's really dead!" Damn, I'm a step too late, this guy is so unbeaten, he just received a few sticks, and he can't even stay up all night! ”

"Master, what should I do, how can I go back?"

Thinking of the terrible Liu Yan's temper tantrum, Tang Zhiyi was full of sorrow, and said weakly: "You can't blame us, I just got the fucking letter, and I came here without eating dinner, and on a cold day, it's good to be able to find the body." His own life is thin, and Lord Yama can't save him......"

"Ah...... Lord, he moved, I saw him move! ”

Tang Zhiyi was startled by the sudden shout, turned around and slapped the man, and scolded: "What is it called!" Dead people can still move, what the hell are you? ”

Someone else shouted, "No, no, Lord, he really moved......"

"Huh? Really moved? Torches, torches! ”

A few torches completely illuminated Qi Huating's whole body, Tang Zhiyi looked down and saw that his fingers were really moving, and his fingertips were clasped with hard mud, and blood oozed from the cracks of his fingernails.

"Come on, cover a thick coat and lift it up! Let's go, don't let him die! ”

I don't know how long it took, Qi Huating woke up from his coma, felt the pungency of the ginger soup entering from his mouth, and the warmth that expelled the cold suddenly rose in his abdomen, and he immediately sucked a few more mouthfuls greedily. After waiting for a small bowl of ginger soup to be swallowed, I felt alive again, and slowly opened my eyes and saw Liu Yan sitting not far away.

"Awake?"

Qi Huating struggled to get up, his expression was full of panic and uneasiness, his hands danced wildly, as if a drowning person was about to grasp the last life-saving straw, and fell off the bed with a thud...... Xu You wants to kill me...... He's going to kill me, help, help! ”

Liu Yan smiled, sat upright and didn't move, the two maids who had just fed Qi Huating ginger soup immediately stepped forward, holding him down one left and one right, coaxing and comforting softly, and his soft and boneless body rippled with the charm and temptation of the girl, making Qi Huating a little distracted for a while, and even forgot his fear.

"The doctor said, let you lie down and rest, don't move. Don't worry, I'm absolutely safe here, Xu You doesn't dare to go to my territory and want to kill you? I also have to ask if I agree! ”

Perhaps it was Liu Yan's calm smile that infected him, Qi Huating's mood stabilized a lot, and he was helped by the two maids to lie on the bed again, his buttocks were injured, he couldn't lie on his back, he gasped for heavy breath in his mouth, stared at the ground, and two words popped out for a while:

"Xu! Bless! ”

His eyes were full of incomparable viciousness and hatred, if Xu You was in front of him, he could guarantee that he would pounce on him and eat him alive, and said, "If you don't take revenge, I swear not to be a person!" ”

"It's not hard to get revenge!"

Liu Yan smiled very gently, perhaps he had never smiled so gently, and said: "Defeated his gold fang, there is no way to make money, and he can't please Lu Mingfu, in Qiantang, isn't it easy to clean him up?" ”

"Yes!" Qi Huating's eyes lit up, and he said: "Liu Langjun, I know how to make the activity papermaker of the gold workshop, and I also know how to get the fire wall that can dry paper in winter, and ......."

Liu Yan laughed, finally stood up, walked to Liu Yan's bed, held his hand, and said: "Brother Qi, from today on, you will be my Jubao Zhai's person, living and dying together, sharing wealth and wealth!" ”

The consequences of Qi Huating's betrayal were very serious, and with the advanced skills he betrayed, Jubaozhai's shipments and yield rate increased more than ten times in an instant. It's not just the traditional Yanxi paper, with the recipe of the big paper secret medicine blackmailed from Xu You, after this period of testing and adjustment, the high-quality Yanxi paper was finally created.

Liu Yan's hidden strength and connections in the dark were far superior to Xu You, but because of the generational gap in the product, Xu You was far ahead, and now that the big paper in Yanxi came out, this gap no longer exists. He tried his best, visited everywhere, made a lot of money, gave a lot of painful gifts, through the Lu Hui and other good scholars, as well as some relationships with Dade Temple, invited 21 large paper merchants in 12 counties of Yangzhou, held a special promotion meeting belonging to this era in Xiaoqu Mountain, and publicized the advantages of Yanxi paper, and took out the paper by the grass for comparison, out of nothing to say that there are seven places far better than the paper by the grass, anyway, it is rare in the sky, unparalleled in the world.

But these are not important, to become a big paper merchant in each county, vision and IQ are above the level line, everyone comes to make a fortune, and they will not listen to Liu Yan and fall into the trap after a few words!

"Liu Langjun, you said that these laymen are okay, but who are we? Ming people don't say dark words, at this hour, you can give an accurate price of paper. If it is higher than the paper of Youhe, why do we have to travel hundreds of miles to this Xiaoqu Mountain where birds don't? ”

Xiaoqu Mountain has no beautiful scenery, most of these businessmen are born in small farmers, have no culture, wear brocade, eat delicacies, but they like to be vassals and elegant, watch the mountains to be good, see the water to be good water, even to talk about business have to go to those elegant places.

"That's right, don't say it's higher than Youhe paper, even if it's the same price, with the current market, I'd rather sell the paper from the gold shop. After all, the name of the family is loud, Dazheng Zhong and Gu Fujun and Jiangdong celebrities are all praised, and those nobles and scholars also like it, but all those who are literate are proud of their family collection of He paper, which is nothing compared. Liu Langjun, you said the seven advantages of Yanxi paper, but you and I know that Yanxi paper is a famous paper, but its name is far less than that of Youhe paper! ”

"What the two brothers said is reasonable, Liu Langjun, it's not that we are unkind, we are in business, we can't let everyone have money and not make money, and lose money to play with you, right? Your family has a big business, and you don't care about these small money, but we can't, don't you say? ”

"Yes, yes, that's right!"

"So, don't be mysterious, just point to it, how much does it cost?"

"Sixty Wen!"

Liu Yan smiled and said a number, the audience fell silent, listened attentively one by one, and said: "Yanxi big paper, the price for you is sixty Wen, you can compare the shipment with the one hundred Wen of He Paper, or you can add it to one hundred and twenty Wen, one hundred and fifty Wen, I don't care about this, it is up to you to set." ”

If the shipping price of Yanxi paper is only 60 yuan, which is 40 yuan lower than that of Heda paper, the profit in this can be imagined. The twenty-one paper merchants present immediately became excited, and the supply of Creda paper in the gold workshop was in short supply, and no matter how big the merchant was, he could only purchase the goods according to 100 yuan, and then transport them to other counties and counties, and sell them at a price increase of 20, 50, and 70 yuan, and calculated that a piece of paper only had a net profit of more than ten yuan. The most important thing is that you can't buy money if you have money, you have to wait, and the waiting time ranges from half a month to several months, although they don't know the famous saying that time is money, but they also know that wasting time is not getting along with money.

Even if the quality of Yanxi paper is not as good as that of Youhe paper, it is not as famous as Youhe paper, but as long as the price of sixty wen, a fool will refuse. The paper merchants hula surrounded Liu Yan, scrambling to place orders. Liu Yan smiled and said: "Don't worry, sixty wen will be given to you, I actually don't make money, so please do me a favor." ”

"You say, I don't want to let it go anyway!"

"We too, please Liu Langjun speak up!"

Liu Yan's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and his smile became cold, and he said: "It's not difficult for you to ask for paper, as long as you promise me a request: from now on, only sell Yanxi paper, not Youhe paper, and don't let Youhe paper appear on your territory!" ”

"This ......"

Everyone looked at each other, silent, and calculated the pros and cons in their hearts. Although the peers are enemies, Jubao Zhai and Sajin Fang are in Qiantang together, and they are bound to become fire and water, but they have never heard of only allowing others to do a business, which is not in line with the rules and is too difficult for strong people.

"There is only one paper mill in the gold workshop, and I heard that there are still tens of thousands of goods that have not been delivered, even if you wait, the money can't afford to wait. I see that you are all characters with heads and faces in the paper shop, so I will give you face and give priority to selling the big paper in Yanxi to you. If you really don't want to, it's not that I can't find a paper merchant who is willing to cooperate with Jubao Zhai. At that time, the merchants in your county may have to change their names. ”

These words helped everyone to make up their minds, and if they have money, they all agreed, anyway, they mainly sell their own paper and deal directly with the big customers, and the amount of paper merchants distributed to them is not large. After a while, Xiaoqu Mountain signed a list of 150,000 copies, which was better than the sales of 30,000 copies in the first five days of Sajinfang.

The delivery time was agreed, the deposit was paid, and all the businessmen went down the mountain together, Liu Yan looked at their distant backs, and smiled proudly: "How?" There are nine million dollars in hand, and if you are not willing to spend it, how can you make money? If you send 10 million money, the little God hesitates, and the Five Gods make things difficult in every way, and the religion is full of slander, and only gives 8 million money, but who knows the difficulties of those of us who really do things? ”

Jin Guan stood behind him, lowered his head, and said, "The general is talented, and the little God knows it well, so he will try his best to ensure that the general has full authority to dispose of the matter of Qiantang." Those gossips in the teaching, the general does not have to take it to heart. ”

"I don't take it to heart, but I'm afraid that I'm doing things outside, but I will be instigated by the slander of those rats, and one day I will arouse God's suspicion, and I don't know that a great disaster is coming!"

Jin Guan raised his head, his eyes were resolute, and said, "The general is at ease, there will never be that day!" ”

Liu Yan lowered his hand, looked up at the clouds in the sky, and sighed: "I hope so!" ”
