I saw that he immediately bowed down and saluted again, and said respectfully: "The villain is a shopkeeper of Renhe Pharmacy, surnamed Zhou, who went to Lin'an to help Shaodong's family run an errand three years ago, and I was fortunate to meet Lord Yang a few times. ”

Yang Congyi hadn't been in Lin'an for a long time, and he couldn't seem to think of a few times he could see a few times, so he immediately asked, "I don't know who the young owner is?" ”

Shopkeeper Zhou replied: "The young owner and the adult are colleagues, and their surname is Tang Xun. ”

"Brother Tang? Where is he? Yang Congyi couldn't help but scream.

The merchants in the room were originally whispering, and their eyes were instantly attracted by this slightly louder shout.

Originally, they thought that the shopkeeper of Renhe Pharmacy Zhou was just a simple greeting in the past, but now it seems that the relationship between them is not very ordinary, and the expressions on some people's faces immediately changed subtly.

Shopkeeper Zhou replied: "Exactly, Shiro is the young owner of Renhe Pharmacy, but he hasn't come back since he left Jianpu five years ago, and the villain doesn't know very well." After returning from the sea last year, he sent a letter to his family, saying that he was ordered by the imperial court to go to a distant place to take up a post, and since then he has rarely received letters from him, and even the owner does not know where he is. Adults have worked with Shiro for many years, and don't know where he goes? ”

Yang Congyi's heart sank, his excited mood quickly calmed down, and he replied lightly: "In the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, when Brother Tang and I were separated in Lin'an, he said that he was sent by the imperial court to go to a far place, and before he could ask where he was going, he was interrupted by other things, and then they were separated in a hurry, and I never heard from him again. But don't worry, when the term of office expires, you will naturally come back. ”

Shopkeeper Zhou nodded and said, "The owner also said the same, but there has been no news, which is still uneasy." If it's convenient for adults, please help you find out where Shiro was sent, and we can go and see him when we have time. ”

Yang Congyi smiled: "Okay, when I return to Lin'an, I will ask someone to go to the Ministry of Officials to ask." ”

Shopkeeper Zhou raised his hand and saluted, "Thank you, sir." ”

Then he said: "It's not easy for adults to come to Jianpu, I don't know when to leave, can you stay here for a few more days, and we can also do the friendship of the landlord on behalf of Shiro." ”

Yang Congyi smiled and declined: "Thank you for the kindness of Shopkeeper Zhou, there is still official business, the time is more urgent, if this matter is concluded today, I will have to leave early tomorrow morning, and I will definitely go to Brother Tang's house as a guest next time." ”

Shopkeeper Zhou was full of disappointment, and replied helplessly: "That's really a pity." ”

Yang Congyi said: "There will be an opportunity in the future, today is to talk about business, let's talk about business first." Shopkeeper Zhou has been standing in front of him, which makes him a little unaccustomed, and this place is not suitable for talking about private matters, so he quickly returned to the topic.

Shopkeeper Zhou also knew that it was inappropriate to chat privately for too long, so he hurriedly responded and returned to the chair and sat down.

When he went back to sit down, the attitude of the other merchants around him had changed slightly, and they even took the initiative to ask if the business of Renhe Pharmacy had been greatly affected by the murder and if they wanted their help.

Soon after, Meng Zhizhou returned to the room from nowhere, and everyone stopped whispering.

As soon as Meng Zhizhou sat down, he said, "How did you discuss?" Do you want to buy it, how do you buy it? ”

The crowd was silent for a moment.

Yang Congyi said: "We have also been in this medicinal material business for more than three years, with nine trade routes of our own, twenty-four warehouses, more than 100 carriages, more than 400 skilled employees, 160,000 catties of medicinal materials in the warehouse, a lot of investment in the early stage, and now we are making money, packing 600,000 yuan, and it is definitely not a loss to buy it." If you want to do it yourself, you won't know how much energy you have to spend and how much money you will have to invest. Take our business over, in this Nanjian Prefecture can be a big one, miss this opportunity, and then want to expand the medicinal materials business, without 100,000 yuan, more than ten years, I am afraid it will be difficult. ”

Seeing the two adults speak, the shopkeeper Wang said: "We have also discussed it just now, medicinal materials, carriages and horses, and warehouses can be bought, but we really don't need trade routes and hired workers." What Lord Yang said is very reasonable, and we agree with it, but none of us have so much energy to take over such a big business at once, so we can only take what we need. I hope Lord Meng and Lord Yang will forgive me! ”

The white shopkeeper echoed: "What the shopkeeper said is that it is indeed difficult for some strong people to buy this business completely, not that we have no money, but that it is not good for us to buy it, but it will become a drag." I hope you understand our difficulties! ”

The other merchants did not speak, did not echo, did not object, and the next few merchants sat there quietly without saying a word.

Yang Congyi glanced at everyone and suddenly said, "Shopkeeper Zhou, what do you Renhe Pharmacy say?" ”

Hearing the question, Shopkeeper Zhou was startled, suddenly raised his eyes, looked at the other party and replied: "Lord Huiyang, the villain can't call the shots in this kind of matter, and the owner has to come in person." ”

Yang Congyi didn't respond, and asked again: "What about the others, they need to talk about everything, there are so many medicinal herb merchants in Nanjian Prefecture, can't they even take over this stall of business?" ”

Other businessmen had to speak up.

Someone said: "The medicinal herb business is not easy to do now, and we really don't have the energy to expand again." ”

Another said: "Yes, it's good to be able to maintain your own business, how can you have so much energy to take care of other things." ”

There are also humanitarians: "I just want to buy some medicinal materials, I can buy forty or fifty thousand catties, and I don't need anything else." ”

Sure enough, everyone expressed their opinions one after another, and no one was willing to take over the business of the Divine Cavalry in its entirety, and no one was even willing to buy anything other than medicinal herbs, carriages, and warehouses.

Yang Congyi and Ming joined the army no matter what, they didn't want the medicinal material business of the Divine Cavalry Army to be sold cheaply, but the current situation was very unfavorable to them, and if they didn't give up the medicinal material business, the preliminary agreement reached with Meng Zhizhou before would be ruined, and no one knew what uncontrollable changes would arise from this.

Their pressure continues to increase with the discussion, and it is difficult to choose whether to sell cheaply or stick to it, but judging from the current situation, in the end, they can only sell cheaply.

After a short silence in the room, Meng Zhizhou said: "Since no one is still willing to buy them all, you don't have to insist on it, anyway, today is to be transferred, it is better to make a decision as soon as possible." ”

Ming joined the army and said in a low voice: "Lord Yang, forget it, looking at this situation, it is true that no one wants to take over all of them, and sell what can be sold, and if you can't sell it, you can only keep it first." ”

Yang Congyi didn't respond, he was very unwilling, such a big business, such a good opportunity, why was no one willing to take over? What's more, once the medicinal materials, warehouses, chariots and horses are separated and sold, the remaining trade routes and hired workers will have no value, and soon the hired labor union will be dissolved, and the trade routes will be abandoned, even if they want to do it quietly, it will not be possible to do it in a short time.

The Divine Cavalry belongs to the front division of the palace, although he does not agree with the Divine Cavalry to do business on its own, but the state government does not provide money and food, so that they can't even take care of food and clothing, it is easy to resonate with him, and he really wants to help them keep the medicinal herb business, anyway, this money is not earned by the Divine Cavalry, it will also be earned by powerful businessmen, and it will not fall into the hands of the people, nor can it fall into the hands of the imperial court, so why not improve the situation of the Divine Cavalry?

But the situation in front of him made him unable to say more, even if he was unwilling, he could only sell this huge business cheaply, transfer it to the murderer as soon as possible, and end the robbery and murder case, after all, the closure of the case is more urgent than the business.

After a long period of silence and weighing, Yang Congyi finally compromised, only to hear him whisper to Ming to join the army: "Then so be it, sell what you can sell." ”

Ming joined the army and nodded, and then said in a loud voice: "Since no one wants to buy them all, let's talk about the prices of medicinal materials, chariots and horses, and warehouses." 160,000 catties of medicinal materials, the quality is very high, most of them are not ordinary medicinal materials, and the price is 250,000 yuan. There are more than 110 carriages, all of which were built within two years, and the horses equipped with them are all northern horses with good endurance, and they will not pick up their hooves for a day, and if they are bought, they will only receive 75,000 yuan. Twenty-four warehouses, leeward to the sun, not afraid of wind and rain, convenient transportation, excellent location, distributed in Nanjian Prefecture and surrounding states and counties, all of them are bought, the price is 60,000 yuan. Of course, these things can also be sold separately, but the price of the single sale will have to be negotiated. ”

"Two hundred and fifty thousand? 160,000 catties of medicinal materials cost so much money, it's better to grab it! The shopkeeper Wang was very happy when he saw them relieved, but when he heard the offer, he couldn't help but start questioning.

The white shopkeeper's face changed, and he said hurriedly: "Your carriage is too expensive, it's just a matter of pulling goods, where can you use a car with seven hundred yuan, and a car of two hundred yuan is completely enough." Seven hundred yuan, I don't want it, it's better to build it myself. ”

And the shopkeeper who originally wanted the warehouse began to shake his head after listening to the offer, which was a full 10,000 guan higher than his expectations, and his money was also earned by luck, not from the wind, so he naturally didn't want to pay more than 10,000 yuan.

Although others also wanted to buy some assets, they also felt that the other party's offer was a bit high, and since someone had already spoken out, they stopped talking and remained silent.

Meng Zhizhou looked like he didn't care about anything, took a sip of tea slowly, and then said: "What's the hurry, just talk about the deal slowly." If you think the price is high, you will give your price, and the result will always be discussed. ”

The shopkeeper Wang then said, "What the lord said is true. Since it is a sale, there must be room for negotiation, if you can't talk about it, it can't be considered a sale, I want all 160,000 catties of medicinal materials, if your medicinal materials are indeed of good quality and high value, the price can fluctuate a little more on 200,000 guan, and buy all of them 210,000 guan, and then it is high, I have to consider whether it is still necessary. ”

And the white shopkeeper said: "I really don't need such an expensive carriage, and although the horses in the north are good, if they are old, I am afraid that it will be a burden to buy them, two hundred and fifty yuan, I can still consider it, seven hundred yuan, I don't want to see it." ”
