Chapter 44: A Condition
In the blink of an eye, Liu's Ice Fruit Shop was surrounded by layers, and the people in the streets and alleys pointed out all kinds of ugly words such as Wood in the big red robe, thieves and soldiers, etc.
Wood's face was flushed, but he didn't dare to attack in front of so many people.
The status of the warriors in the Song Dynasty was very low, and almost every scholar was honored to despise the warriors. If Wood did something out of the ordinary in public, I am afraid that there would be a civilian official who would happily hand over the impeachment to the Ministry of War immediately. And with the temperament of those literati, the impeachment will be written one after another, until he is ruined.
Just when the group practice made the adults advance or retreat, the little dog took aim and kicked the crook of the leg of one of Wood's personal entourage.
The pro-entourage was already a little overwhelmed, and the crook of the leg was suddenly kicked, and one stumbled forward, just hitting the back of the regimental training envoy.
Wood's martial arts are quite solid, and he only shook when he was bumped by his relatives, and he didn't even move his steps. But when the onlookers saw this scene, they immediately burst into laughter, and the sound of laughter and scolding immediately became higher.
can climb all the way to the position of the regimental training envoy, Wood is naturally not a fool.
Seeing that the situation was not in his favor, Wood glared coldly at his subordinates. Those relatives immediately put away their waist knives and honestly stood aside against the wall.
Haha laughed twice, Wood arched his hands to the onlookers and said loudly: "Let all the villagers laugh, Wu really has some business to discuss with this Tian shopkeeper today, and it was just a misunderstanding." ”
The Great Song Dynasty looked down on the thieves with the army, and it was not only those civil officials, otherwise there would be no such title as thieves with the army.
All sorts of ugly words came out of the mouths of onlookers.
"Is it to implore the shopkeeper Tian to take in these thieves and soldiers?"
"It can't be that you're here to sell a lady, right? Hahaha......"
……
Tian Shiyi couldn't help frowning when he heard these words, Wood is not a good person, but the people's atmosphere of looking down on soldiers is really worrying.
How can a group of soldiers who are teased, scolded, and despised all day long defend their families and country? How can we defend the land and defend the people? Where would they be willing to work hard for the people of the country? If such an army runs out of money and food, it will immediately become a deserter or a rout, and it is very likely that it will turn against each other. An army without a sense of honor can only be a plate of scattered sand.
Wood was cheeky and could turn a deaf ear to such ugly words, turned back to Tian Shiyi and said: "Wu has fifty good shops in Hangzhou City, I don't know if Tian has any plans to take it down?" ”
Tian Shiyi suddenly admired Wood a little, he was able to pull out such a lie in this situation. However, if you really buy these 50 shops at this time, you will definitely save a lot of money. Even if you sell it, you will definitely make a lot of money.
It's just that even if these fifty shops are cheap, they can't afford them at this time. What's more, the money in hand has to buy grain and send it to Taihu Lake. People are iron and steel, if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic, Taihu Lake has nothing to eat, even if there is a better opportunity to make money in front of you, you must give up at this time.
Just as Tian Shiyi was pondering, a clear voice said, "If Lord Wu sells sincerely, I am willing to buy it." ”
Hearing this, Tian Shiyi was overjoyed in his heart, he hadn't seen Fang Baihua for a whole day, and he actually missed it a little in his heart.
Almost all the onlookers were neighbors on this street, and when they heard Fang Baihua's voice, they immediately flashed out of a way.
Baihua entered the shop, turned around and bowed to the onlookers, and said a few words of thanks. Everyone knew that the five girls were sending off guests, and for a while, everyone outside the shop gave up their hands and said goodbye, but in a blink of an eye, they were all gone.
Wood personally followed him as if he had been granted amnesty, and without waiting for the regimental training to make a speech, he hurriedly hid.
Fang Baihua, Eleven Lang and Niu Gao nodded, and looked at the Niu Tong brothers and sisters curiously, and then invited Wood to sit down. She really wanted to buy the fifty shops.
If Wood can't get rid of these fifty shops at once, even if he pawns his wife and son to others, he can't pay off the high profit, let alone the principal.
Seeing that Fang Baihua really wanted to buy it, Wood hurriedly sat down, his attitude was very respectful, but after listening to Baihua's first words, he jumped up violently.
Fang Baihua's voice was not high, but every word was clear: "If Master Wu can make up the contract of 2,000 yuan and fifty shops, I will buy it." ”
Tian Shiyi looked at Sister Baihua in surprise, and admired it in his heart, but he didn't expect that she had already learned her rogue Daxue ten out of ten. Buying Wood's fifty shops, and asking the surnamed Wu to subsidize another 2,000 yuan, this kind of thing seems to be impossible to say.
Wood jumped up and pointed at Baihua angrily: "It's just too deceitful, the fifth lady really thinks that I, Wood, am afraid of your Fang family?" ”
Fang Baihua frowned and looked at this group training envoy, and said with an unhappy face: "Why, I took over the contract between you and the shop, isn't it even worth two thousand yuan?" If it weren't for the fact that Master Wu couldn't come up with more money, and without five thousand yuan, Eleven Lang and I wouldn't have taken over this business. ”
Wood froze suddenly, and Tian Shiyi realized at this time that Fang Baihua was talking about "the contract of fifty shops", not "fifty shops".
Wood immediately understood the meaning of the fifth lady's words, and couldn't help but be overjoyed. Fang Baihua is clearly saying that the shop belongs to her, and the money borrowed from the shop will also be repaid by her, such a good thing is simply a pie falling from the sky.
Not to mention two thousand, even if these five ladies really offer five thousand, they will give it themselves.
It's just that Wood's happy face froze again. Not to mention two thousand, he can't even take out two hundred at this time, twenty is still there, but that's the life money of the whole house.
Baihua's face showed an unhappy look, but he still said: "A thousand times, Master Wu can always take it, right?" ”
Wood's face was even more ugly, and at this time, he didn't care about face, and bowed down and said: "Don't dare to hide it from the fifth lady, Wu has even mortgaged the house in his family, and he really can't come up with the money." ”
Seeing Fang Baihua frowning, Wood was afraid that she would not shake her hands, so he hurriedly continued: "Wu still has the deed of sale and death of one hundred and thirteen servants in his hand, I don't know if it can be worth the thousand yuan?" ”
Eleven and Hundred Flowers suddenly took a deep breath at the same time, and their four eyes glared coldly at Wood.
Servants are just working manpower, Tian Shiyi has just collected more than 30,000 mouths from Taihu Lake Water Village, that is, more than 30,000 manpower, where will there be a shortage of more than 100 people. He was now worried about how to feed the manpower, not that there was no one to use.
Baihua holds the Sanxiang Association in his hands, which is more than 100,000 people, more than Tian Shiyi's manpower, so naturally he doesn't need manpower.
Where did Wood know the situation of these two people, thinking that they were disgusted too little, and hurriedly added: "If it is not enough, Wu is willing to pawn my lady and the two concubines to the two shopkeepers, I don't know ......."
"No need." Tian Shiyi righteously rejected the latter proposal.
What do you want other people's wives to do, please come back and be a mother? Baihua naturally won't agree.
Fang Baihua pondered slightly, and said to Wood: "If Lord Wu can agree to me on one condition, I will allow you to use those servants to pay for it. ”
