Section 318 Small Tea Merchants
The two officials who were sleeping on their stomachs poured water, immediately jumped up, and asked: "What are you doing......" Angry and about to rush up, Fang Jinshi knocked the copper basin on the stool continuously, and shouted loudly at the same time: "Someone has escaped from prison, someone is coming, someone has escaped from prison......"
The three sergeants and officers rushed up, snatched the copper basin from his hand, and pressed him to the ground together, but a large number of officers and guards rushed in, and many prisoners were awakened and crowded at the cell door to watch. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The officers who rushed in questioned each other and made rounds around, Fang Jinshi was set up in embarrassment, but his face was full of victor's smile, and the three sergeants never took him through the hall again, and angrily remanded him back to his cell, and one of the sergeants pushed him in and kicked him in the waist.
Wait for the four times to slowly quiet down, I heard the rooster crowing in the distance, the sky is almost dawn, Fang Jinshi knows that he is temporarily safe, thinking carefully about what happened last night, it really makes Fang Jinshi feel afraid, if he is not alert, the three sergeants will take him out of the forbidden door, as long as they shout that someone escapes from prison, he may be hacked to death with a knife, who will stand up for his unjust death at that time?
At this time, Fang Jinshi felt that under the calmness of the show, in fact, the battle under the surface of the water was already a life-and-death situation, even if he was willing to compromise, but as soon as others seized the opportunity, they wanted to put him to death.
As soon as the sky was bright, Cai Ang came over, he brought something to eat for Fang Jinshi, and when Fang Jinshi was eating, Cai Ang said: "I heard someone say, someone came to pick you up last night?" ”
Fang Jinshi said: "It's false to mention me, and it's true that you want to kill me." ”
Cai Ang had actually learned about what happened last night, and he said worriedly: "In this way, I really have to hurry up and report to Cai Xianggong that he knows, and let him come forward to say a few words in the court, so that some people with ghosts have some scruples." ”
Fang Jinshi deeply agreed, and Cai Ang said: "Don't worry, Fang Gongzi, I was careless last night, and I almost made a big mistake, I will immediately arrange for my own people to take care of it, but I can ensure that Gongzi is safe and worry-free, I have the power to directly report to the governor of the state government, and the Xiong governor does not dare to be too presumptuous." ”
Fang Jinshi said: "Thank you Cai for not driving, some people have made this move, which also proves that they are dealing with me in the light, and there are not many ways." ”
Cai Ang said goodbye to him, turned around and went out, and after another two hours, two officials came over, opened the cell where Fang Jinshi lived, and said, "Master Fang, the Xiong Governor's Mansion summoned you." ”
Fang Jinshi stood up and said, "Do you want to go through the hall?" ”
An official said: "The Xiong prefect's order was only a summons, and he never ordered to pass through the court." ”
Fang Jinshi was very surprised, and he didn't know what kind of medicine Xiong Che was selling in the gourd, but in broad daylight, Xiong Che might not lynch him, but Fang Jinshi still asked: "Does Cai Jianzhou know?" ”
The official said honestly: "Cai Jianzhou has already instructed, everything about any matter of Fang Gongzi must be reported to him, and someone has been sent to say it." ”
Fang Jinshi was relieved, he followed the two officials out of the prison of Pingjiang Mansion, and the two officials politely led him to the back hall of the yamen of the state capital, stopped at the door, and an official messenger said inside: "Fang Gongzi brought it." ”
Xiong Che's voice inside said, "Bring him in." ”
The official sent the other party into the stone and said, "Fang Gongzi, please." ”
Fang Jinshi walked into the back hall, and as soon as he entered the door, he was stunned for a moment, only to see Xiong Che at the top, and Cai Meng at the bottom, and there were only two of them in the room.
As soon as Cai Meng saw him, he put down the tea bowl in his hand and stood up, and said with a smile: "Brother Fang suffered, Brother Fool heard the news and rushed back overnight. ”
Fang Jinshi said: "I heard Mr. Sun say, didn't Mr. Big go back to Bashu?" ”
Cai Mengdao: "I'll come back when the matter is done, there are still more than 60 miles yesterday, I was going to go around elsewhere, and suddenly I had to report that something like this happened to Brother Fang, so I rushed over." ”
Fang Jinshi arched his hand to Cai Meng and said, "Thank you, Mr. Big." ”
Cai Mengdao: "I have collected some tea quotations from the past, and clarified the misunderstanding to the Xiong Governor's Mansion, it is not my fault of the Sihai Tea House, and I am also going to invite Zhang Zhuan's envoy to come, the Xiong Governor's Mansion said that since it is a misunderstanding, there is no need to trouble him, Brother Fang is fine, you can go back." ”
Fang Jinshi was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Xiong Che, Xiong Che said: "Since the tea quotation is not fake, and Mr. Meng Da is the guarantor, the government will open the net and let you go back, and you can also transport the tea confiscated by the government." ”
No matter how much Fang Jinshi had an idea in his heart at this time, he could only bow down and thank him, Cai Meng said to Xiong Che: "The yamen is busy with official business, so we won't bother." ”
Xiong Che stood up and said a few more polite words, Cai Meng took Fang Jinshi to say goodbye to Xiong Che, and out of the Pingjiang Mansion, Fang Jinshi couldn't help but look back at the tall gate of the public hall, Cai Meng noticed it, and asked: "What do Brother Fang look at?" ”
Fang Jinshi turned around and said, "I want to remember here." ”
Cai Meng smiled slightly and said: "You don't have to go too far in your heart, people live for a lifetime, who hasn't had setbacks, these government masters do things, sometimes they are unreasonable, and you can't do anything." ”
Fang Jinshi said: "This time, I still want to thank Mr. Big for his help." ”
Cai Meng laughed and said: "They are all their own brothers, and it would be obvious to say more about this thank you." ”
Fang Jinshi said: "Mr. Big is busy, I also have to go back to change my clothes, can I visit you another day?" ”
Cai Mengdao: "It's okay, because I'm not on Huaixi Road recently, Brother Fang may have some misunderstandings with other shopkeepers, let's find an opportunity to come to my house for a drink in a few days and discuss how about it?" ”
Fang Jinshi said: "Very good." ”
He said goodbye to Cai Meng, and returned home by himself first, Huang Jinmian was overjoyed when he heard that he was back, and hurriedly asked the kitchen to prepare food, Fang Jinshi took a good bath, changed into clean clothes, Shi Hao and Hu Shopkeeper heard about it, and also rushed over to ask.
Fang Jinshi sighed: "If this matter is planned and deployed by Cai Meng, on the treachery of the city government, and the backhand is continuous, I am really inferior to him." ”
Shi Hao said: "It is not a fluke that he can sit in that position, we just discussed a way here, and he changed immediately, but it's okay, at least you can come back safely." ”
Fang Jinshi said: "After this incident, everyone up and down the Four Seas knows that he saved me, and if I go against him in the future, others will scold me for having no conscience, how many people will support me?" I made one wrong move, lost everything, and I was still too impulsive. ”
Shi Hao said: "What should I do then?" ”
Fang Jinshi said: "This matter may not be all bad for me, Cai Meng never dared to do too much to me on the surface, he asked me to discuss with Sun Defu Zhirong, it must be a good thing for Sihai Tea House, we wait for the opportunity, we will be able to turn over, but at this time, we must endure." ”
His judgment was not wrong at all, Cai Meng summoned Fu Zhirong and Sun De to drink tea and wine together a few days later, and on the surface, he also blamed Fu Zhirong for a few words, asking him to treat Sihai Tea House more well in the future.
Poor people don't chase, and when they see a good thing, they will accept it, of course Cai Meng understands this truth very well.
Another half month passed.
On this day, Fang Jinshi checked the accounts, and the shopkeeper Hu said on the side: "There is not too much loose tea collected recently. ”
Fang Jinshi Daqi said: "This season should be the time when tea farmers sell the most tea, how can it be less and less?" ”
The shopkeeper Hu said: "I heard from the guy, the price of Mr. Miyamoto's tea is higher than ours, especially the loose tea below grade B, and the tea farmers have sold him more." ”
Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "This Mr. Miyamoto wanted to unite with me to lower the price before, but at this time, he felt that it was profitable, so he actually raised the price himself." ”
Shopkeeper Hu asked, "Then what should we do?" ”
Fang Jinshi said: "We shipped it directly to Jinguo, and we have already received the money and then delivered the goods, I am afraid of where he will come from, how tall he is, and we will do the same." ”
Shopkeeper Hu immediately asked the guys to notify him and raised the price of loose tea, who knew that on the third day, Shopkeeper Hu said to the other party again: "Miyamoto has raised the price of tea again." ”
Fang Jinshi asked people to follow the price increase, and as soon as he rose here, Miyamoto Sizang's tea house increased the price again, and after two times, the original fifteen or six wen and one pound of Cingpin tea had reached thirty wen.
Fang Jinshi was a little breathless, and asked people to go to Xiuwang's mansion, Xiuwang's fleet sometimes shipped goods to Japan, knowing the Japanese market price, Fang Jinshi heard the report of the people who came back, the price of this C-product loose tea in Japan reached seventy or eighty wen per catty, and he realized that even if this Miyamoto Sizang was collected for thirty wen a catty, he still made money.
But Fang Jinshi can't add any more, this is a bit too high for Sihai Tea House.
The shopkeeper Hu said: "Otherwise, we won't add it, and it will be a loss if we continue like this." ”
Fang Jinshi said: "If you don't increase the price at this time, you won't be able to receive the goods, we must follow the price increase, you help me keep a closer look, and slowly push the price of tea up to forty-five Wen." ”
Shopkeeper Hu was taken aback and said, "How can we afford such a high price?" ”
Fang Jinshi said: "We can't afford it, Miyamoto Sizang can't afford it, no matter how high he is, it's completely unprofitable, so he won't follow." ”
Shopkeeper Hu said: "Then why do we still push up the price of tea? ”
Fang Jinshi said: "You do what I say, when you fight with Miyamoto Sizang, tell the guy, we have a price here, there is no market, don't do it too obvious." ”
Shopkeeper Hu Daqi: "What is priceless and no market?" ”
Fang Jinshi wanted to explain it to him well, but he felt that it was too troublesome, so he said casually: "We quoted the price, but we didn't receive the goods." ”
Shopkeeper Hu still didn't understand, and said: "Since the price is quoted and the goods are not received, it is always not good." ”
Fang Jinshi said: "Guys won't say that product B is product C, and product A is regarded as product B, and most of the tea farmers are unwilling, so they won't sell it to us." ”
The shopkeeper Hu said: "Since the price increase is fake, and you don't accept tea, why did you come?" ”
Fang Jinshi said: "I have my own clever plan, Miyamoto Sizang accepted the tea at such a high price, I see how he cries when he arrives." ”
