Chapter 132: Waiting for the price to sell

Li Xiaofei is in charge of the newly built wineries, gambling houses, Qinglou inns, warehouses and other industries in the northern suburbs of Jinling, but the plaque still hangs the sign of the Jinling Imperial Court.

Fortunately, Li Xiaofei didn't have much appetite, and he actually sent seventy percent of the real income to Pharmacist Zhu's inner mansion, which greatly surprised Pharmacist Zhu.

Pharmacist Zhu ordered someone to check, and in the past, all kinds of government-run industries in Jinling City could be handed over to the actual income of 10%, which was already very clean. Take the winery as an example, the four newly opened wineries in the northern suburbs sell more than 10,000 catties of wine every day, but the bill reported to the liquor is only 200,000 catties per month. The income of 200,000 catties of liquor is 50,000 guan money, Li Xiaofei handed over 35,000 guan to the inner government, and the remaining 15,000 guan was taken out and distributed to the wine zheng, sergeant, corporal and others in charge of liquor business, and then 5,000 guan was spent to the inner government and Duzhi Shangshu, and the remaining 5,000 guan was usually used by Li Xiaofei to reward his entourage and relieve the displaced people in the past.

The income from the sale of wine alone is enough for Li Xiaofei to spend all his time, not to mention that Li Xiaofei does not need to pay for food and clothing. After a long time, Corporal Li Xiaofei's reputation for helping the needy spread.

To the northern suburbs, in addition to the upstarts and merchants in Jinling City, there were also a lot of roosters and dog thieves on the rivers and lakes, and they also defrauded Li Xiaofei of some money.

Li Xiaofei didn't care about the liars cheating money, but when the construction site was suspended due to heavy snowfall, there was actually a troublemaker.

When this person first came, it was the nineteenth day of the winter month, and when he came up, he took out two ingots of gold and gave them to the old bustard of the Qinglou as a deposit, and he had been eating and drinking here and looking for the girl for more than 20 days.

At first, everyone didn't care, thinking that this man was a rich man, so he picked the most expensive wine and food and sent them, and invited a dozen or so girls to accompany him to recite poems, paint, play the piano and sing songs, and the two ingots of gold had already been spent in less than five days.

The old bustard had hoped that this man would continue to take out gold ingots to pay for it, so he served better and more dishes, and personally went to buy this man pens, ink, paper, and inkstones for his amusement.

How do you know that when this person arrives on the fifteenth day of the lunar month, he will not look for a girl, and he will not let them serve the dishes, saying that he will retreat in the room for half a month without anyone disturbing him.

At this time, his expenses were already ten ingots, and the old bustard was a little anxious to ask for the debt.

This person was meditating in the room and turned a deaf ear, but fortunately, Li Xiaofei had already ordered not to embarrass these debtors, so the old bustard went to Li Xiaofei.

Li Xiaofei was drinking with a few merchants selling mink ginseng, and the old bustard said it in his ear, Li Xiaofei thought that he was a liar who came to eat and drink again, and waved his hand: "It's okay, let him go, you go to my housekeeper to get the money!" ”

"Master Li, if this person doesn't leave, he has to retreat upstairs in me, and he won't leave! I think this guy is a little weird! Master Li still has to send an official to inquire and inquire! The bustard was a little worried

Li Xiaofei said with a smile: "Drink first, these big bosses are all from the north, you go down first, and you go to Master Zhou to deal with those little things!" ”

The old bustard walked away and went to find Master Zhou, and Master Zhou touched his beard: "This person is nothing more than trying to blackmail a sum of silver, you might as well, let's salute first and then soldier, bring the silver to make him out, and then teach him a lesson when he is sent to the official road." It's all Master Li who is too tolerant and generous, these cats and dogs are all here to eat and drink! ”

After that, Master Zhou brought dozens of soldiers to the Qinglou to arrest this person.

When he arrived at the door, Master Zhou made a look, and the old bustard pushed open the door, and Master Zhou cleared his throat and entered: "This guest officer, if you have any difficulties, we will settle this account for you, if you are not entangled, we will give you two taels of silver." Don't worry, we'll escort you out! No one will embarrass you! ”

The man was still sitting cross-legged on the bed and didn't move, Master Zhou approached and said a few words, but when he saw that there was no response, he waved his hand, and the soldiers immediately went in to tie up the person.

"If you are obsessed, don't blame us for the law! Bundle it up! "Master Zhou gave an ultimatum

The soldiers tied him up quickly, but they couldn't move him.

"What the hell, more than a dozen of us can't lift him!"

"Hit, hit until he speaks!" Master Zhou didn't believe in evil, so he asked the soldiers to take out wooden sticks and beat them

There was a crackling and crackling, but the man still didn't move. "Hit the devil! Hit the evil spirit! Come on, go and get dog blood and feces and urine to break his evil law! ”

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers around this man were all bounced away and fell to the ground, clutching their arms and legs.

"Who dares to disturb my retreat!" The man opened his eyes and glared angrily

"Who are you, eating white food here and not leaving?" Master Zhou was not afraid of things, and asked him rhetorically

"Hmph, what do you say Corporal Lixian, it's all a liar, I'll send a word to your master"

After that, he got up, jumped on the desk, picked up a pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote on the wall: "Deceive the world and steal the name Li Xiaofei!" Liu Ming singer book! ”

This Liu Mingge put down his pen and straightened his clothes: "If you don't go out again, I will dip it in red paint and write a few words on your faces."

"Good word! Good calligraphy! The soldiers climbed out one after another, but Master Zhou was stunned

The twelve big characters written on the wall, the handwriting is clear but full of strength, the font is atmospheric and neat, it seems to be a blunt pen, but it is sharp when viewed from the side. Master Zhou sighed again: "Since the book of the sage Wang Xizhi, there is no good word in the humane world, it seems that the old man is fortunate today, and he can get a glimpse of this peerless book!" Wonderful! ”

Liu Mingge was talking about it, and there was no red paint at the moment, so he continued to dip the pen in ink and quickly drew two words on Master Zhou's face: "Wonderful!" ”

Master Zhou was surprised, but he was lifted by Liu Mingge and gently placed at the door, and then the door was closed again.

Everyone looked at Master Zhou's face and laughed, Master Zhou also smirked, but the old bustard was anxious: "When is it, you are still laughing, go and report to Master Li!" ”

"No, no, no, you must not disturb this person again, there is a master living here!" Master Zhou hurriedly waved his hand to stop the bustard

"Master Zhou, aren't you stupid, are you stupid, you have a girl on your face? What does he mean by that? Bury our girl? The old bustard didn't know much about reading, and he recognized Da Miao as a girl, which caused everyone to laugh wildly.

"Go, go, you don't understand the matter of literati and inkmen, I'll go find Master Li, don't neglect this master upstairs!" Master Zhou pushed away the bustard and went downstairs to find Li Xiaofei

"These scholars, do some things that are not human, turn around and turn, and are still superior, how can there be a master who eats wine in the Qinglou and looks for a girl?" The old bustard was very disdainful of Master Zhou, and complained and went down.

When Master Zhou came to Li Xiaofei, the ink was dry. Everyone laughed when they saw it: "What's going on, haha, don't say it, this word is really well written, it's a girl!" It seems that this old man is also in the spring."

"No, it's clearly a big girl? The old man is just different," several merchants quipped

"Old Man Zhou, what's going on, come and get water for Old Man Zhou to wash" Li Xiaofei still cared about his own people in the end, and he didn't make Master Zhou happy.

"Master Li, you can't wash it. I went home and asked people to stretch it down, this word is very well written, but I'm afraid it's hard to find! Master Zhou hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it

"This word, to be honest, I don't read much, I really can't understand it, but it still looks a little eye-catching! Since Old Man Zhou said that it is difficult to find a thousand gold, it must not be fake. But why does this man write on your face? Li Xiaofei was quite honest and told the truth.

"Master Li, you have to go and see this person in person, he is a master, both civil and military, and he is definitely not a charlatan!" What Master Zhou said was very sincere

Li Xiaofei put down his wine glass and stood up, this week's master is also a person who has read a lot of books, but he was born in a poor family and failed to be an official and a half-job, and there are very few people who usually look down on him, even he thinks he is a master, it seems that he has really met a master.

"Several, slow use, I'll meet this master" Li Xiaofei hugged his fists and asked several merchants to resign

The host was about to leave the table, and it was not appropriate for several guests to continue eating and drinking, so they all got up: "Thank you Lord Li for the wine, food and beauty, our brothers are also full of food and drink, if Lord Li doesn't dislike it, we will also accompany you to meet this master!" ”

Li Xiaofei picked up the words: "Okay, then let's go together, you are also well-informed people, and you can also help Li support the scene when the time comes!" Li Xiaofei came to them today, the most important purpose of coming to them today was to find out the situation in Hebei from them.

The group followed Master Zhou to the Qinglou again, and when the old bustard saw Li Xiaofei, he hurriedly knelt down: "Master Li, you have to be careful, the person upstairs is not easy to deal with."

"Ahem, get up, you all disperse, I'll go up alone!" Li Xiaofei let everyone leave and went upstairs alone

Li Xiaofei walked to the door and wanted to knock on the door, but thinking about the experience that Master Zhou talked about on the road, he stopped and looked in by the window.

"Come in, their retreat has been disrupted!" Liu Mingge's voice came from the room

Li Xiaofei pushed open the door and entered, and the people downstairs held their breath and watched Li Xiaofei go in.

Li Xiaofei walked in slowly, and saw a middle-aged scholar dressed as a scholar sitting next to the desk, dressed in purple, with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a round face, holding a copy of "Tao Te Ching" and looking at it.

"You may be seated!" Liu Mingge didn't look at Li Xiaofei, but just asked Li Xiaofei to sit down.

Li Xiaofei had no choice but to sit down, and just happened to see the twelve big characters on the wall: "Deceive the world and steal the name Li Xiaofei!" Liu Ming singer book! ”

Li Xiaofei wanted to speak, but after thinking about it, he dispelled this idea.

Liu Mingge continued to read, completely ignoring Li Xiaofei. Li Xiaofei kept sitting and looking at Liu Mingge to see what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

It was also quiet outside the door, and everyone was waiting to see what the scene would be when Li Xiaofei arrived in person.

After half an hour, Liu Mingge put down the "Tao Te Ching" and opened his arms: "I can't see the name of Yi, I don't know what I hear, I can't say Xi, and I can't fight it." Do you agree with it? ”

"The master's words are unfathomable, please forgive Xiaofei for not reading much and not being able to understand it for a while, please forgive me!" Li Xiaofei really didn't understand, so he had to answer honestly

Liu Mingge picked up the water cup on the table and splashed it on the wall, then drew his sword and waved it on the wall a few times, only to see that the words "self-knowing" became "self-knowing"

"It seems that the rumors on the rivers and lakes are somewhat credible, if you don't know how to pretend to understand, you have already flown out of the door by this time! I am Liu Mingge, I have been here for more than 20 days, and I am waiting for you! It seems that my two ingots of gold are worth it! Liu Mingge put the sword back into the scabbard and walked towards Li Xiaofei.

Li Xiaofei also got up and bowed: "Mr. Liu, a master in the world, please forgive Xiaofei and them for being clumsy and neglecting Mr." I don't know what is important for me, sir? ”

"Haha, this is not the place to talk, if Master Li really has the heart, he will go to the mass grave ten miles away here tonight to wait for me!" Liu Mingge finally said what he wanted

Li Xiaofei clenched his fists with both hands: "Okay, everything is arranged according to Mr.!" ”

"Remember, only one person is allowed! You can go out, I'm going to sleep! After Liu Mingge finished speaking, he went to the bed and sat up again

Li Xiaofei hurriedly exited the door, closed the door and went downstairs.

"Master Li, what have you done in there? Why is there still the sound of a sword drawn? ”

"Master Li, is he willing to leave?"

A group of people asked with concern, Li Xiaofei waved his hand: "Closed for one day today, let Mr. Liu rest!" Get out of here! ”
