Hearing this, the officials standing on the side sneered again, and one of them couldn't help but say: "The horses pulling the cart and the camels loaded with goods are worth a few taels of silver, I will see that even if you let your livestock be mortgaged, see that the number behind you is not enough. ”

These words made Li Wei more and more embarrassed, but he also had to admit that what the other party said was the truth, the price of horses is indeed high, but that refers to the horses that can be ridden, the cattle and horses that pull the cart and the camels that transport goods are not valuable, not to mention that Datong is a border town, and the Mongolian tribes are convenient for trade, there is no shortage of horses, and in the lunar season, these livestock not only can't sell them backhandedly, but also consume feed, and they also need grooms to serve.

Moreover, the officials brought by the Golden Management Year are all experts in accounting accounts, and they probably have a detailed account after reading it; Even if the Li family's caravan was mortgaged with livestock, it was not enough, and they did not have a margin of seventy cattle at all.

"Or ...... Do you want to buy five hundred taels of silver first...... The other ......" Li Yuan had another proposal, but the voice of the voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end, no one could hear clearly.

The officials just sneered on the side, they didn't dare to offend Zhu Da's guests, but Li Cheng had inspected the goods too carefully before, there were many problems, and a few sneers were always inevitable, and this kind of sneer made Li Cheng and the stewards more and more embarrassed.

"Leave five hundred taels as a deposit, and the remaining two hundred taels for flowers on the road, you can transport these silks away, sell them and give me the payment." Zhu Da said in a deep voice.

After these words were spoken, the audience was silent, Li Cheng and the stewards had disbelieving expressions on their faces, and the officials also opened their mouths wide, and after reacting, Li Lou waved his hand again and again, and said with shame: "How can this be made, how can this be made." ”

"What's the matter, you are my brother, I believe in you, you can come here with the goods regardless of the risk, then what am I worried about, you take the goods away, and then give me the money when you sell them, I believe in you." Zhu Dalang said.

Hearing these words, Li Yuan's face was flushed, trembling and speechless, the old steward on the side was full of emotion, and muttered there: "The old owner looks at people accurately", Li Yuan was excited for a while before calming down, but he opened his mouth with a trilling voice and crying: "Please...... Please rest assured, if you can't bring back the silver, let the younger brother be thundered by the sky, and be a cow and a horse in the next life......"

Li Lou is older than Zhu Da, but at this time he excitedly called Zhu Da his brother, and swore there, Zhu Da smiled and waved his hand and said: "You don't have to swear anything, you don't have money for a while, just wait for the turnover, I said I want to make money, you have to make money." ”

At this time, Jin Guannian walked over, approached with a face full of embarrassment and said: "Master Zhu, let's not take credit in the end, so many people in the city are staring at this batch of goods, if you can't see the cash, you can't go back and explain, if you can't get together the silver for a while, we can go back to the freight......"

When he said this, Jin Guan Nian was full of apprehension, he was afraid that Zhu Da would be angry, looking at the refugees who were constantly patrolling and holding spears, and then looking at the young poor people who had been unable to move, Jin Guan Nian had already planned for the worst, and this Master Zhu could only admit it if he really ate the goods.

"They are on credit with me, not with you, I will give you an explanation, and I never make it difficult for others when it comes to business." Zhu Da said very kindly.

Zhu Dadu said this, Jin Guannian could only nod his head and agree, but when he returned to the crowd, he whispered to Lin Bantou and asked, "If you really want to use your hands, can we snatch the goods back?" ”

"I'm afraid we can't beat it, our group can't see a tough battle, and the dozen or so young people who can fight the most are practicing in this Zhuangzi every day, and they have long been out of the same mind as the Yamen." Lin Bantou's face was also ugly, and he quietly replied to Jin Guannian.

Since this is the case, there is nothing to be done, and everyone can only wait here to see how Zhu Da arranges next, no matter what is arranged, they have to accept their fate.

After the Li family caravan counted the silk and moved it to his own cart, and handed over the deposit of five hundred taels of silver to Zhu Da as agreed, Li He, who was in charge of counting the silver, couldn't help laughing there, and everyone knew why he was laughing, because the five hundred taels of silver were given by Zhu Da, and it was only a few days before it was turned back.

The Li family caravan finished moving more than 300 pieces of silk, although the rest of the goods were very greedy, but there was no silver in his hand and there was no way, he wanted to hurry back and pack up and prepare to leave, but was stopped by Zhu Da, and asked them to bid for other goods and inspect the goods.

“...... Six hundred and seven pieces of chinos, each with eight hundred pieces, two hundred and seventy pairs of cowhide boots, one hundred and twenty pairs with lines, six hundred and fifty pieces per pair, four hundred and fifty pieces of each pair without lines, five hundred and eighty wooden bowls, ten pieces each, one hundred and ninety wooden basins, twenty-five pieces each, four hundred pieces of medicinal herbs per pack, two thousand five hundred bags, two hundred and sixty-three sheepskins, one ninety pieces, one hundred and seventy cowhides, six hundred pieces each, three hundred pieces of animal skins, two hundred taels of silver, horsetail horns......

How many years has the Li family caravan done for the inspection and quotation, and they are extremely skilled, each of them is full of energy, careful and serious, that is, all the goods have been counted in half an hour, and even the approximate fineness has been checked, and the old steward Li Fu also took a pen and paper to keep accounts on the spot, and after the inventory was completed, he began to report the categories and prices of the goods one by one.

"Counting the more than three hundred pieces of silk, it is a total of three thousand five hundred and fifty-seven taels." The old steward finally quoted the total price, and the golden steward calculated the accounts every day, and when Steward Li reported the number, they also came up with the result.

"Thirty into five is a total of one thousand two hundred and forty-five taels, two and, you go and get it for them." Zhu Da calculated the number and said.

Jin Guannian, Lin Bantou and others all looked at Zhu Da, they understood what Zhu Da's "explanation" was about, but Jin Guannian and several household officials were also surprised, Zhu Da actually calculated what was three into five so quickly, a martial artist does not have such a speed of accounting, even the documents in the household have to go through several years of practice to have such mental arithmetic.

Hearing Zhu Da's arrangement, Li Yuan was even more moved, in his mind, Zhu Da was his own advance to make them owe credit, and he was even more grateful, but at this time, he couldn't come up with any means to return, so he could only arrange for the steward and the guys to carefully inspect and count all the goods, and not let Zhu Da suffer a little loss.

After Li He took the silver and Jin Guannian took someone to inspect it carefully, this scene changed from embarrassment at the beginning to joy, everyone got what they should get, it seems that only Zhu Da is the one who suffers, but he is also smiling and not impressed. Seeing that it is not early, those who should be ready to set off should hurry up and prepare, and those who should be ready to return to the city are afraid to prepare to leave.

When everyone was about to say goodbye, Zhu Da stopped everyone, and then said loudly: "I have enough goods to sell here, Brother Li, I will keep enough of the one you can eat, but your family can't eat all the goods, you have to help me put the news out, the more people who know, the more benefits you have, Jin Guan Nian, Lin Bantou, doing business on my side is a fair deal, neither the buyer nor the seller will suffer, what conditions are set, what conditions are the conditions, what goods you have are put here, except for your goods, Everyone else's goods are the same, and when this side is prosperous, you will also benefit a lot. ”

Zhu Da's words came out, the Li family's caravan and the yamen side responded positively, Li Yuan was deeply moved, bowed solemnly and said: "Please rest assured Brother Zhu, I will spread Brother Zhu's benevolence and righteousness and the way of making money in all directions, even if my Li family's business is not done, I will ......."

"You still have to do business, and you have to make money, and you won't be busy in vain." Zhu Da interrupted Li Yuan's words with a smile, and when he heard this, Li Yuan was stunned, and then bowed even more gratefully, and several stewards behind him also bowed together.

After the Li family finished speaking, Jin Guannian said with a smile: "Please rest assured, Master Zhu, with this white silver, next time there will be more good goods coming over, who will have trouble getting rich?" ”

The head of the Lin squad also patted his chest and said in a rough voice: "Lao Lin, I have never seen such a refreshing person as Master Zhu, who is not willing to do this business." ”

Compared with the gratitude of the Li family, the officials of the yamen are already happy, but I am afraid that they will not see such a happy look during the New Year.

It was almost dark, and the Li family caravan could not set off today, but after carrying the goods, they all went back to prepare, and they also had to rest early, because they had to get up early tomorrow and set off, and everyone in the yamen was in a hurry to rush back to the city, and everyone present could hear that they had agreed to eat and drink in the evening to celebrate.

Zhu Da arranged for the family and the refugees to carry the stolen goods brought by the yamen, and the Li family caravan took only a small part, of course, Zhu Da didn't have to worry about storage and transportation, he stood there and looked at the direction of the officials' departure, a little stunned.

In the eyes of everyone in the Grange, Zhu Da rarely looked like this, and Li He, who was counting over there, put down the work in his hand and came over to ask, "Big brother, is there anything wrong?" ”

"I thought that this goods would be a lot of money, but I didn't expect that a thousand taels could be taken down, but looking at the happy appearance of these people in the yamen, I felt that this thousand taels was a lot of silver." Juda shook his head and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Li He was stunned for a moment, then coughed violently, and after calming down, he stared at Zhu Da and said: "My lord, one thousand taels is not a lot of money, in our county, two taels of silver can be exchanged for copper coins, which can be used for a family to live a good life for a year!" Seeing that Zhu Da was still smiling and shaking his head, Li He couldn't help but say: "This time I made more than two thousand taels of silver, we really made too much, the Zheng family has so many shops and transactions in the Zheng family, and they can't make so much profit in half a year, let's not take the silver we earn as money." ”
