Chapter 439: An Awkward Beginning
In the same thousand households, two thousand households died after Shi Bin's arrival, although there is no direct evidence to prove that Shi Bin killed him, but it is absolutely impossible to clear his suspicion. Huo Ran Wen ?? ww?w?. R?a?n?w?e?na'com, wherever he passes with his men, will certainly arouse alarm there. Although I didn't know Shi Bin and his gang, as long as one condition was met, it was enough for a strange team of five or six hundred people.
Bad news always spreads faster than good news, and since then, Shi Bin has obviously felt that the small tribes he encounters along the way are much colder to them, and he has specially set up sentries to monitor them at night. This made Shi Bin very unhappy, so he changed his strategy, leaving these small tribes, and waiting for them to relax before sneaking to pollute their water sources.
This method makes those people of the small tribe bitter and unspeakable, and it is difficult to think that it is Shi Bin's badness, even if they think of it, they don't believe it themselves.
Will these little minions be pure and shrug? Pan Xuanyi? Annoyed? Mei ネ嫱妫? 谑門��線線 x?Σ俊?/p>
The person in charge of the investigation reported that the people in the Khalkha Department lived a very decent life and behaved in a proper manner, not much worse than the people of the Great Song Dynasty. Some wealthy herders are still lying on wool mats reading books.
Whether it's really looking at it or being vassal, it's always looking at it, which makes Shi Bin feel very surprised, but he also feels quite comfortable. If the Yuan people were no longer so fierce and aggressive, how good would it be to let them withdraw from the army after a few words, Shi Bin initiated hysteria
It's a pity that the dream is not good, and before the good dream is finished, another subordinate in charge of finding out the news said: "The subordinate of the Yuan people who was reading a book is beating a Song slave who has made a mistake, and he himself looks at it with a smile from time to time, as if there is still appreciation." ’
It's really easy to change, and the nature is hard to change! Shi Bin scolded.
Of course, Shi Bin can't be angry here, in case he is seen by the nearby herdsmen, it is not appropriate. Wang Lixin and Xu Feng immediately came over to convince them. Xu Feng even said: "My lord, why are we so excited about this matter after we have seen it too much? Now that we are deep behind enemy lines, we cannot afford to make the slightest mistake. ”
It's true that you can't make the slightest mistake, and you almost capsized because of your random anger before. Even if he didn't suffer any losses later, it made it a lot more troublesome to do things now.
So Shi Bin had no choice but to take a break for an hour. And Wang Lixin and Xu Feng discussed on the side.
"Lord Wang, do you think my family is suitable to do things now? In front of it is a 10,000-household office, and 10,000 households are probably not as easy to fool as a thousand-household. Xu Feng said uneasily.
"Xu Feng, you don't have to worry about this, I believe that your family will be more than enough to deal with just one yuan and ten thousand households at any time."
"Thank you Lord Wang for affirming my family so much, but I am still a little uneasy, I hope you can find a way so that he will not be angry during this period no matter what." Xu Feng said very humbly.
Now that he and Shi Bin are two grasshoppers tied to a rope, they need to be in the same boat, and indeed no one can go wrong, and they can't be sloppy. So Wang Lixin thought of a way at Xu Feng's request.
Soon Wang Lixin came up with a good solution: hide most of the weapons and keep only some simple self-defense weapons. They disguised themselves as a caravan and went into this ten thousand houses and dealt with their officials.
At first, Xu Feng didn't understand what Wang Lixin meant by doing this, but when Wang Lixin smiled and said, "Harmony makes money", he suddenly became enlightened, and praised Wang Lixin's resourcefulness.
As soon as this method was proposed, Shi Bin knew the thoughts of Wang Lixin and Xu Feng, but this was for the sake of everyone, and he himself had made similar mistakes before. So Shi Bin agreed to their suggestion without the slightest hesitation, and soon disguised himself and his men as a caravan of Song and Yuan partnerships.
With only 600 or so people entering a 10,000-strong house with 7,000 yuan warriors, even Shi Bin and his elite felt like walking on thin ice, and everything had to be cautious.
Shi Bin respectfully handed over the greeting post and asked to see Captain Wan, and repeatedly reminded himself to relax and not lose his temper no matter what
Of course, the captain had long known that there were hundreds of restless guys nearby, but he didn't care, his more than 7,000 warriors would never be defeated. This time it was another businessman covered in oil and water, how could he not see him? Therefore, as soon as he saw the prayers and generous gifts, he immediately ordered his subordinates to bring Shi Bin into the yurt.
Because of his preparations, Shi Bin's flattering and cunning appearance made the head of the Wan household believe that he was a businessman at a glance.
"What's your name?" The captain asked.
"The villain's name is Batu, a Tatar."
"Tatars? You can run far enough, I heard from my subordinates that there seem to be Song people in your team. Chong Shibin smiled coldly.
Knowing that this captain Wanfu was cheating on him, of course Shi Bin would not fall for the trick, remembering what he thought before, he immediately cried and said with a sad face: "Of course, Master Wanfu is clear, all of us who do business must absorb the grass and have it, otherwise the business will not be able to do well, and even more so for those of us who run long distances, if the adults don't believe it, please send someone to review it immediately." ”
The begging for mercy shown made Shi Bin feel very aggrieved, but there was no way to arouse the suspicion of the captain on the spot, and he only carried it without kneeling in the end.
"What good things did you bring with you? What do you want to do with me? Captain Wan asked with a smile.
However, Shi Bin was not happy when he looked at it, so he lowered his head and replied: "I brought a few hundred catties of good tea and a few hundred catties of well salt." Shi Bin replied 'tremblingly'.
"That's all?"
Listening to the tone of the commander, Shi Bin knew that he was dissatisfied, and after thinking about it carefully, he understood where he was dissatisfied, so he immediately explained: "My lord, now the two countries of Song and Yuan are fighting on a small scale, and the road is not peaceful. Therefore, the small people can only get some of this thing to sell, but dare not sell refined iron, and it is too dangerous to sell that thing, so please forgive me. ”
This is a very good reason, and Captain Wan is no longer entangled, but just tells Shi Bin that if he wants to do business next time, he must bring at least 1,000 catties of refined iron.
Of course, he had to agree, but Shi Bin secretly laughed in his heart that the captain wanted to be beautiful. Maybe I'll bring fine iron next time, but it should be a thousand sharp swords.
The next step is to talk about the price, Shi Bin bid for ten mink skins or twenty lambskins for one pound of good tea, and twenty muntjac skins can also be used.
Looking at Shi Bin's obscene appearance before, Captain Wan felt that the business would be very negotiable, and it would be good to use the momentum to press. Unexpectedly, when negotiating, Shi Bin, the 'businessman', opened his mouth widely, and he was no longer the coward he was before.
The reason why Shi Bin did this was to come up with the evil spirit in his chest, and secondly, to better embody the lack of business and treachery, so that the damned captain would no longer doubt himself.
"Batu, do you have to pay this price?" The captain asked viciously.
"My lord, my brothers and I have also made so much hard-earned money, I believe you are reluctant to let us lose money, right?" In order to make the captain have more blood and make himself more comfortable, Shi Bin insisted on not reducing the price, and also used a crying voice.
The dignified elder disdained to communicate with such a degrading fellow, and immediately shouted angrily: "Bastard, shut up quickly, if you don't shut up, I'll chop you up and feed the wolf immediately!" ”
Shi Bin was so 'frightened' that he immediately shut up, and said tremblingly: "My lord, I am willing to lower the price, one pound of good tea in exchange for nine mink skins or eighteen lamb skins, and eighteen muntjac skins can also be used." ”
In the eyes of the captain, this is not much different from raw robbery, it is still too expensive. Seeing Shi Bin coming to the fire, he didn't look at him at all, but turned his head over and shook his palm with his palm.
Seeing the shaking palm of the captain, Shi Bin said in horror again: "My lord, this is not good, a pound of good tea can only be exchanged for five mink villains will die of loss, it is better to farm at home." ”
I thought that the captain would negotiate the price with him again, but he didn't expect him to kick himself out of the yurt, which made Shi Bin angry, but he could only endure it, it was useless to see the king of Hades before the matter was done. After the captain stopped kicking himself, Shi Bin stood up and left in the mocking eyes of the soldiers. Shi Bin returned to the camp in such an embarrassment, Wang Lixin and Xu Feng were both very ashamed, hiding in their respective yurts and not daring to see him. Who told them that this was their advice?
Being kicked by the Yuan people was a great shame for Shi Bin, so he naturally pulled the two out of the yurt and gave them a fist and kick. The two of them could only stand next to Shi Bin's obscenity, and they didn't dare to resist at all.
After the fight, when he sat on the ground to rest his breath, Xu Feng, who was lying on the ground, asked, "May I ask if your body is okay?" ”
Doesn't this stab Shi Bin's sore spot again? Without saying a word, he gave Xu Feng another hard kick. Xu Feng didn't stop and continued to ask, "May I ask if your lord has a rough idea with the captain of ten thousand people?" ”
The price he was willing to pay was five mink skins for a pound of good tea. Lambskin and muntjac skin should be ten for a pound of good tea. ”
"It's okay, may I ask what Lord Shi asked for at the beginning?" Wang Lixin, who was sitting on the ground, asked.
When Wang Lixin asked, Shi Bin felt empty-hearted, because his asking price was twice that of the commander's willing bid, and he didn't reduce the price much, which was a bit excessive.
But this matter can't be hidden, Shi Bin simply said it to make a good living. After hearing this, Wang Lixin and Xu Feng, who had just been beaten, immediately had fire in their eyes, and they all felt that the beating was too unjust.
Of course, Xu Feng dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, but Wang Lixin immediately stood up and pointed at Shi Bin with one hand, panting for breath for a long time without saying a word.
Of course, he can't just be turned away by this captain, even if he can't make trouble here, he needs to know more about the situation, so Wang Lixin didn't take long to stop being angry, and pulled Shi Bin to discuss the next way with Xu Feng.
"Xu Feng, what do you think will happen next?" Wang Lixin didn't want to talk to Shi Bin at this time, so he asked Xu Feng.
"It's still a gift, but I'm afraid the price of doing business will have to be according to the commander's wishes." Xu Feng said with some regret.
"What does he mean? A pound of good tea only costs five mink skins, and only ten lamb skins or muntjac skins? Although Wang Lixin doesn't know much about business, he doesn't want to drop so much at once.
"If not, we probably won't even think about going in at the door of his yurt." Xu Feng said.
Wang Lixin looked at Shi Bin very unhappily, and then said: "Why don't we give more gifts and buy the door?" The price is still slightly higher, otherwise it doesn't look like a businessman. ”
After Wang Lixin's reminder, Xu Feng remembered that he was a businessman on his side, and he really had to look like a guy chasing profits. So he said that the lowest price was six mink skins for one pound of good tea, or twelve lamb skins, or twelve muntjac skins for one pound of good tea.
This is the most appropriate countermeasure, Wang Lixin and Xu Feng are still very polite to ask Shi Bin to make the final decision. But where is Shi Bin embarrassed? Just nodded hastily and left.
