Hearing this, Liang Qingchuan's face turned red, and he even had a sense of lifting a stone to hit his own feet.

You must know that the person behind the scenes who made Zhe Zhao unable to buy military rations on Hedong Road was he Liang Qingchuan, who pushed Zhe Zhao to the grain merchants in Luoyang City, making the situation out of control now.

Despite this, Liang Qingchuan still had some hope in his heart, hoping that he would be able to turn around, and said with a forced smile: "I don't know how much the grain merchants in Luoyang City are for a bucket of grain?" Please also ask Cui Gongzi to tell him? ”

Cui Wenqing thought for a while and said with a smile: "It seems to be seventeen Wen and one bucket, and it is a total of 340,000 taels of silver." ”

"What, it's so expensive!" Liang Qingchuan suddenly looked indignant, "Cui Gongzi, seventeen wen and one bucket seem to be not expensive, but almost all of their grain is transported directly from the canal to Luoyang by cargo ships, if you want to transport the grain to Fuzhou, the consumption of the carriages and horses along the way will be very amazing, according to the old calculation, I am afraid that it will eventually reach the price of twenty-one and two wen and one bucket, which is especially not cost-effective!" ”

Cui Wenqing probably sighed helplessly: "But only in Luoyang can we buy the food we need, and we are really helpless." ”

Liang Qingchuan felt very embarrassed, and in desperation, he gritted his teeth fiercely and said: "In this way, the grass people can offer 17 wen and 1 bucket, sell 20 million buckets of military food to the Zhenwu Army, and be responsible for transporting it to the Zhenwu Army camp in Fuzhou, just ask Cui Gongzi to break the transaction with the Luoyang grain merchants, I don't know what you think?" ”

Cui Wenqing said hesitantly: "But Shopkeeper Liang, we and the Luoyang grain merchants have already spoken first, how can we change the order like you?" ”

"Cui Gongzi, the grass people are really sincere in selling military rations, and in this way, each bucket of grain is at least five wen cheaper than the grain price of Luoyang grain merchants, and it is a total of 100,000 taels cheaper, and if you do business with me Liang Qingchuan, you Zhenwu Army can save 100,000 taels of silver."

"Hehe, 100,000 taels is indeed a lot......" Cui Wenqing smiled, and then changed the conversation, "However, my brother is now a person who is not bad for money, and now there are people waiting every day to buy the military debt found by my Zhenwu Army, and there are too many silver taels in the treasury to be used, why do you need to be so economical?!" ”

Zhi Zhao, who had been silent, heard this, and the corners of his lips suddenly rippled with a smile, and secretly thought: The husband now has silver taels, and he is so wealthy, and 100,000 taels of silver can be used to be days, now...... It doesn't seem to be a big deal.

Hearing this, Liang Qingchuan and other grain merchants had a feeling of wanting to vomit blood.

100,000 taels of silver was not put in his eyes, Cui Wenqing was really angry.

However, after thinking about it, others do have such arrogant capital, and now Zhenwujun's money is indeed too much to spend.

Thinking of this, Liang Qingchuan felt that he didn't have much bargaining chips for Cui Wenqing to change his mind, and he was anxious and panicked in his heart, so he had to continue to retreat: "If Cui Gongzi is not very satisfied with the seventeenth article, how about the sixteenth article?" If you don't want the grass people to suffer some losses and express some sincerity, how about the fifteenth article? That's already the lowest price......"

Cui Wenqing sighed and said: "Shopkeeper Liang is so sincere, how can he ignore it, but Shopkeeper Liang once said that he has always done business with Zhe Changshi, and he can't tolerate outsiders in his eyes, so he promised to cooperate with us, and I don't know if Zhe Changshi will blame you?" ”

Hearing that Cui Wenqing's tone finally relaxed, Liang Qingchuan was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Zhe Changshi is also a person from Zhenwu Army, there is no difference between the two, even if Zhe Changshi knows, he will probably not say anything." ”

Cui Wenqing shook his head and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Liang, I know that you are a good friend of Zhe Changshi, and you also trust each other very much. ”

Liang Qingchuan knew that Zhe Zhao had taken the opportunity to seize the right to purchase Zhe Weiben, and nodded and said: "I have heard about this matter below, and the grass people are also very willing to cooperate with the Governor of Zhe. ”

"Hehe, but there is a word in the throat, but it has to be said."

"Cui Gongzi, please say, the grass people must listen to it."

Cui Wenqing's eyes flashed, and he said in a cold tone: "The shopkeeper Liang has cooperated with Zhe Weiben for many years, and I believe that he also knows the situation of Zhe Weiben very well. ”

Liang Qingchuan's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly spoke: "Young Master Cui, the grass people have already made great concessions on grain prices, isn't this the greatest sincerity?" ”

"I told you just now, now the Zhenwu Army is really not bad for money, and there is no need for you to sell grain at a low price." Cui Wenqing smiled coldly.

"Then I don't know what the name of Cui Gongzi wants?" Feeling that Cui Wenqing seemed to have bad intentions, Liang Qingchuan felt his scalp tingle.

Cui Wenqing restrained his smile and changed it to a serious and serious look, and said in a gentle but unusually clear tone: "Liang shopkeeper and Zhe Weiben cooperate in trading, there is no need to ask that there must be something greasy in this, and the withdrawal of the buckle is also certain, I want to know how much money did you Liang Qingchuan buy in it when he sold grain to us Zhenwu Army before?" ”

At this point, the whole hall was shocked, and even Zhi Zhao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, revealing a look of surprise.

Liang Qingchuan's face suddenly turned snow-white, and his body trembled uncontrollably, he never dreamed that Cui Wenqing actually wanted these things.

Seeing that Liang Qingchuan didn't speak, Cui Wenqing's expression gradually turned cold, and he said lightly: "Liang Weng, don't tell me that Zhen Weiben has always been selfless in the military food trade, and he is not greedy for a tael of silver at all?" You are not three-year-old children, we also know very well who you are, as long as you can tell the truth and provide evidence, I, Cui Wenqing, can make it clear to you here that Zhenwujun will not treat you badly in the future. ”

Liang Qingchuan still didn't speak, and fine sweat began to break out on his forehead, obviously frightened.

Seeing this, Cui Wenqing was not interested, got up and said coldly: "It seems that the shopkeeper Liang is really loyal to the long history, since this is the case, then there is no need for us to talk about it, so we will leave." With that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Seeing Cui Wenqing leave so decisively, Liang Qingchuan immediately couldn't stop panicking, and hurriedly said, "Cui Gongzi, please wait a moment." ”

Cui Wenqing turned around and asked, "What?" What else does Shopkeeper Liang have to say? ”

Liang Qingchuan struggled and hesitated for a while, but finally the greed in his heart defeated the panic and fear, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Cui Gongzi, this matter is big, please let me think about it for a few days, I don't know what you think?" ”

Cui Wenqing also knew that it seemed unlikely that he would betray Zhiweiben immediately, so he nodded and smiled: "Okay, I'll wait for your good news from Shopkeeper Liang in the post house, but you have to hurry up your reply, lest it be too late to regret when the grain of the Luoyang merchants is shipped to Fuzhou." ”

Liang Qingchuan bowed his head slightly, and his heart was already in chaos.
