Chapter 150: Stupid is not as good as a pig
"Patriarch, there is another thing, I made a bet with that kid, and accidentally lost our Lu family's ink-making workshop, and today he was forced to sign the transfer letter!"
Although Shopkeeper Lu was scolded, he didn't dare to get angry and continued.
The patriarch must know about the ink workshop sooner or later, even if he wants to hide it, he can't hide it, it's better to say it all at once!
Now the patriarch was furious, but he believed that after a while, the patriarch would forgive him.
Because when he was at the door just now, he thought of a good way to redeem his merits!
"What do you say? You actually lost the Inkshop to ...... you lost? ”
After listening to his words, the patriarch of the Lu clan was not good, he didn't even want to ask the reason, and shouted directly outside the door: "Come on, drag this guy out for me and beat him to death, and then send him to the Criminal Department, just say that our Lu family has found the culprit ......!" This guy has nothing to do with our Lu family! ”
"Choke ......!"
As soon as the Lu clan patriarch gave the order, several guards rushed in at the door, holding wooden sticks and shackles in their hands!
"Patriarch, I haven't finished my words yet, you don't want to hear it, is there any way I can deal with the matter of the household department having enough food?"
Seeing the guards rushing in with the guys, Shopkeeper Lu still continued lightly: "When I first entered the house, I said that this time the imperial court came to rob our grain business, which is definitely a good thing for us!" ”
"It's just an idiot, what else can you think of? Do it, drag it out and kill ......! ”
The patriarch of the Lu clan looked impatient, waved his hand at the guards, and motioned for them to take the shopkeeper Lu away!
If it just failed to plant the sputation, it would be forgivable, after all, that kid is scheming and poorly planned!
But this guy actually took the ink-making workshop as a bet?
In the end, he even lost?
It's just a fool with no brains!
Stupid is not as good as a pig, and dare to say that there is a way to deal with it?
What about fools?
"This plan can not only quickly consume the silver in the treasury, but also force the emperor to bow to our seven families, so as to regain the grain business that belongs to us!"
Seeing that the patriarch was going to move seriously, Shopkeeper Lu no longer sold Guanzi, he used all his strength and shouted loudly.
If you don't say it at this time, I'm afraid I'm really going to be beaten to death with a stick.
"Patriarch Lu, this person is originally from the Lu clan, you can deal with it however you want, we shouldn't interfere, but now the matter is urgent, we urgently need to deal with it, it's better to give him a chance and let him tell the plan, if it's a lie, it's not too late to let Patriarch Lu deal with it!"
After listening to Shopkeeper Lu's words, the patriarch of the Li clan hurriedly stood up, and after giving his hand, he pleaded for him!
The top priority now is not to dispose of his small shopkeeper, but to take back the grain business, but unfortunately they have not come up with a feasible solution after discussing for a long time!
He is also sick and goes to the doctor, what if this pig's head really has any high opinions?
"What the patriarch of the Li clan said is right, why don't you listen to his plan first?"
The patriarch of the Zheng clan also opened his mouth to persuade.
It doesn't matter whether you punish a shopkeeper or not, the important thing is to get the grain business back!
"Okay, let's leave him alive first, come on, and drag that guy back .....!"
Seeing that the two major families interceded for him one after another, the patriarch of the Lu clan waved his sleeves and asked those guards to drag back the struggling shopkeeper Lu!
"If you can't say anything to solve it, there is still only a dead end, hum......!"
The patriarch of the Lu clan was angry and his face turned blue, and he glared at him fiercely and said.
He didn't expect anything good from this stupid guy at all!
"You just said that the household department robbed our grain business, which is a good thing?"
One of the patriarchs politely arched his hand at him and asked with interest.
"Yes, the emperor is trying to drive us to a dead end, but you say that this is a good thing, what do you mean?"
Li Lishan was also full of doubts.
"Lu Mou dares to ask the patriarchs, where does the cost of collecting grain come from?"
Shopkeeper Lu did not answer the two people's questions directly, but asked them a question.
"Needless to say? Naturally, the treasury ......! ”
After thinking for a while, Li Lishan continued: "As far as I know, the household department does not have much silver, and it is estimated that it will last for half a year at most, and it will be consumed!" ”
"In my opinion, I can't even hold up ...... for half a year! Now it is about to come to autumn and winter, but the problem of keeping the border soldiers warm has not yet been solved, if the national treasury silver is used to buy furs, it will not take long to consume little, it is estimated that within three months, the emperor's treasury will be empty! ”
The patriarch of the Zheng clan looked at it with disdain and spoke.
"Yes, we only need to wait for a few more months, and the emperor will have to bow to us, and when the time comes, the conditions will not be casual for us to ......?"
The patriarch of the Wang clan nodded at first, but then he looked worried, "But now that the household department has begun to sell grain, this grain business is quite profitable, I am afraid that it will not be long before the emperor's treasury will be abundant again!" ”
"That's right, now that the imperial court has mastered the grain business, if you want the emperor to bow to us in the future, it will be impossible again, alas, ......!"
The patriarch of the Li clan looked helpless and said disappointedly.
"Since the capital of their grain business comes from the treasury, then we only need to consume the silver in the treasury!"
Just when the patriarchs expressed their opinions, Shopkeeper Lu opened his mouth lightly.
"You mean that after they have exhausted the treasury of silver, they will no longer have enough money to eat?"
After hearing his words, the patriarch of the Wang clan suddenly lit up.
However, he quickly shook his head again and rejected this idea, "It is not easy to exhaust the national treasury of silver!" ”
"If the border soldiers want to keep out the cold, they have to buy a large number of furs, but this year, all the furs of my Datang have been purchased by the Goguryeo people, and now if we secretly buy them at a high price, and then sell them to the household department several times, won't we be able to quickly consume the silver deposits in the treasury?"
A flash of inspiration flashed in Li Lishan's mind, and he suddenly thought of this brilliant idea.
"That's right!"
"Wonderful!"
The patriarch of the Lu clan and the patriarch of the Wang clan applauded again and again!
Although the household department has now robbed them of their grain business and made them lose a lot of money, they can slaughter the court fiercely in the fur business!
Earn back all your previous losses!
In this way, they are not at a loss!
"Okay, it's decided, this time we will act immediately, and we must not let the household department take the lead!"
One of the patriarchs slapped the table excitedly and said happily.
"Yes, without further ado, this time we have to take the lead and buy all the remaining furs of Datang, and we can't give any of them to the household!"
Another patriarch followed suit.
"Now that there is a solution, it's useless to keep you......! Come on, drag them out and kill them! ”
The patriarch of the Lu clan was still angry, and when he saw that the shopkeeper Lu was in the way, he ordered the guards.
