"Sect Master, this surnamed Wang is really not a good thing, today I checked the Jiang rice transported on the ship, and sixty percent of it is yellow, one percent is moldy, and only three percent are good!" Zhang Dagui said with an ugly face.

Dong Ce smiled and said, "What about glutinous rice?" ”

"The glutinous rice is good, it should have been harvested last autumn, but no matter how good it is, we also bought half of the old rice, it's a big loss!" Zhang Dagui sighed.

"Don't worry, someone will help us eliminate the yellow and black ones." Dong Ce didn't care about this at all, the itinerary he cared about, now he had been in Zhongli Mansion for four days, and today was the eighteenth, and the turmoil of the price increase in Jiangnan came the day before yesterday, but the merchants here were only temporary, and they didn't care, and the one surnamed Wang didn't look for him specifically, and he was very trustworthy to transport the rice.

"Lin Chao, you take some people back with the ship, remember, the two ships loaded with new grain are ours, and after the grain from the next two ships arrives in Jinling, go directly to the people of Wengfu to check it, and if they have any questions, just say wait for me to come back." After that, Dong Ce picked up the baggage that had already been packed, took Zhang Dagui and a few disciples to leave Zhongli Mansion in a carriage and headed for Xuzhou.

Xuzhou Dapeng Mansion, compared with the warmer weather in Jinling, the same is true here, after all, Dong Ce has been walking for several days along the way, but although it has warmed a lot, it rained two days ago, and the temperature dropped again, Dong Ce had to put on a coat.

In just one day after coming to Dapeng Mansion, Dong Ce made a single business, the quantity was not much, only 3,000 bags of wheat.

Dong Ce, who had nothing to do, walked down the street of Dapeng Mansion, constantly looking around to see what there was to do, and suddenly, he saw an acquaintance smiling and walking out of the iron shop accompanied by an old man dressed as a shopkeeper.

Dong Ce couldn't help but pause. smiled and said aloud to the man: "It's really a foreign acquaintance!" ”

The man was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Dong Ce. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Oh, I said Dong Yilang." Didn't you go to Huzhou? Why did you come to Xuzhou? The person who spoke looked like he was in his thirties, and his sword eyebrows and square face were very handsome, and he was Lu Kexuan.

The two approached with greetings, and Dong Ce said: "Alas, doing things for others, there is no way, but Brother Lu, why don't you go directly to the salt and iron supervisor?" And to this iron shop, could they give you a large amount of iron and stone? ”

"Definitely!" Lu Kexuan smiled faintly. Said: "Don't say whether they have it, even if they do, I don't buy it, this thing is not easy to bring, besides, you may not know when you first came, there is a group of hundreds of gangsters who hid in Huangsangyu, occupied the Xiangyun Temple, and the Taoist aunt in the view is both rape and murder, and it is extremely bloody!" ”

"Oh. And here's the thing! Dong Ce was busy along the way, so he had to inquire about these.

"I don't know where this Huang Sangyu is?" Dong Ce said again.

"You're not going to come by water, are you? If you take the dry road, you must pass through Huangsangyu. ”

Hearing Lu Kexuan say this, Dong Ce thought for a while. Suddenly, he realized: "Could it be Huangzangyu?" ”

Dong Ce had never been here in his previous life, and the reason why he knew about Huangzangyu was because of the "second sister-in-law tea" and Huangsangyu was not far from Dapeng Mansion. This Dapeng Mansion is the Xuzhou of later generations, so to speak. The Huang Sangyu in Lu Kexuan's mouth should be Huangzangyu.

"Let's talk about it in the front wine shop." Lu Kexuan suddenly proposed.

Dong Ce nodded, and walked with Lu Kexuan to a wine shop.

After the two sat down at the wine shop. Dong Ce said: "I passed through Huangzangyu, oh no, when it was Huangsangyu, I found that the terrain was not particularly difficult to attack, why hasn't the government taken down that group of bandits yet?" ”

"Alas, they are all in the auspicious cloud view of the master with a special identity, but she is one of the disciples of the national teacher, and now that the thieves have taken her hostage, how dare the local government attack indiscriminately!"

"Did the government send people to watch?" Although Dong Ce felt that this was a little impossible, he still asked, after all, it was about the delivery of his goods.

"It's good if it's surrounded, don't you know, that group of villains can be ruthless, when the government sent the government guards to surround it before, they killed Guanzhong Daogu in front of the guards, and more than a dozen Daogu have died before and after, and the government naturally panicked, so they went to the court to see what the national teacher meant!" Speaking of this, Lu Kexuan sighed and said, "Therefore, I plan to buy only fine iron, which is also easy to carry." ”

Because the time is very tight, who knows when the price increase turmoil will spread, if you don't buy things in your hands earlier, Ming'er may not be this price.

"It's going to be hard!" Dong Ce's face was a little unsightly!

Lu Kexuan can replace the iron stone with refined iron, this iron stone can be refined for three or four catties of refined iron, which is undoubtedly a great reduction in the burden, and it is not easy for the other party to take it up the mountain even if he robs it, but Dong Ce is different, do you want him to turn wheat into cooking cakes? If those guys in the mountains knew, they wouldn't be crazy, this is a meat bun beating a dog!

"Brother Dong, it's better to rent a warehouse, stock up the grain you bought, and sell it directly to repay the money after the price rises here."

"No!" Dong Ce shook his head and said, "No, this batch of wheat must be transported back to Jiangnan, after all, it won't be long before more people will follow me to eat and drink, I think, it's better to leave by detour." ”

"It's okay, but it's a lot of loss in freight." Lu Kexuan nodded.

"Not only that, if these people are not exterminated one day, I have not been able to place orders, and if the wind of price increases hits, the money in my hand will be reduced by half.

Don't look at Dong Ce's purchase of 30,000 bags of Jiang rice in Zhongli Mansion in one go, but in fact, he only spent 12,000 yuan, half of which was paid by him, and the other half was deducted from Weng Jian's gold, that is to say, not counting the money he brought, just Weng Jian's share, there are more than 9,000 taels of gold!

Speaking of which, he was also very afraid, if he let those gangsters know that there was so much gold and silver in the six carriages passing by their foot at that time, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"If I had known, I should have brought Zhong Xiaoshi and them." Meng Feng took Zhong Xiaoshi and them to Huzhou, which was far from being safe in Xuzhou, so Dong Ce would arrange it like this, but who knew that such a thing would happen in Xuzhou.

When Dong Ce and Lu Kexuan were depressed, two people suddenly walked into the wine shop, a man and a woman, and the man said in a pleading tone: "Cousin, what are you going to Suzhou, I went to my cousin the year before last, and the wind is blowing in that place, bah, it's full of yellow sand, it's still good in Xuzhou, I'll live in the future, then don't go!" ”

"Cousin, can you stop saying it, I must go to Suzhou with my mother." The woman looked very impatient, and as soon as she entered the wine shop, she sat at a table casually, and just let Xiao Er serve tea, and the man on the side hurriedly said: "What kind of tea, this is not a teahouse, go to a bar!" ”

"Cousin, it's only noon, I want to drink you and serve a pot of tea." In the last sentence, the woman obviously said it to the shopkeeper, but after finishing speaking, the woman's apricot eyes suddenly opened, as if she had seen something unbelievable.

Waving her hand to push the shopkeeper aside, the woman stood up stunned with a pair of dull apricot eyes, slowly walked behind a man, and reached out to stroke the black sheep fur that the man was wearing.

"Huh?" Dong Ce suddenly felt that someone had touched his back, and at first he thought it was hit by someone, but after a while, he realized that it was a hand, and it was not as simple as touching it, this was completely harassment!

When he turned his head impatiently, a pair of narrow fox eyes also opened slightly, and he turned his head suddenly, looking at Lu Kexuan, who was also sluggish, and said, "You are quite fated with her!" ”

Lu Kexuan almost squirted out a mouthful of tea, and said secretly: "It's not certain who is destined for her!" (To be continued.) )
