Chapter 351: Jiangnan Journey (3)
Wuyang City, Drunken Immortal Residence. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
This is Luo Yi's industry, Er Fat selected many villagers from the village, and after Er Fat's training, he went down to various places, and Wuyang City was one of them.
His name is Liu Si, in his early thirties, he was originally a villager in Liujia Village, but now he has walked out of the small ravine and arrived here.
Liu Si is the same as Er Fat, after becoming the shopkeeper of Drunken Xianju, he made a windfall, built a new house at home, and steamed seafood outside the house every day, maybe... Maybe it's better than Luo Yi's life.
And for these, Luo Yi doesn't care at all, people work hard, fortunately to run a restaurant, of course they have to make money, this is not unusual, Luo Yi cares about how much can the restaurant make in a month? It's the outcome, not the process.
"How? This year, you still have enough to eat, right? Your name is Liu Si? ā
Luo Yi went to the restaurant with Zhao Wenxian and Zhao Wenyong, and called Liu Si to him in the private room. Liu Si is a person from Liujia Village, who can have today's glory, it can be said that Luo Yi brought it out, and he is grateful to Luo Yi in his heart, Luo Yi asked, Liu Si didn't dare to hide it, and arched his hand: "Brother Luo, Jiangnan is really a good place, there are countless people who buy wine, only not enough to sell, never can't sell it." I have found a total of ten brewing masters in this drunken immortal residence, but it is still not available, and the people who come to buy the wine, Ren will give money first, and then wait to buy it. ā
Luo Yi didn't understand and asked, "Huh?" Didn't you send someone to Chang'an a few days ago, saying that there were other people in Jiangnan selling wine, which affected our business, why now... ā
Liu Si smiled and said, "Brother Luo, I don't say that, can you come to Jiangnan; Besides, the person who opened the restaurant is indeed angry, the drunken fairy wine is ours, why let him sell it, and he makes a lot of money, I estimate that in the past half a year, he has earned no less than this amount. ā
As he spoke, Liu Si gestured.
Luo Yi took a look, Liu Si stretched out five fingers, Luo Yi understood, this is 50,000 taels! This is worth it, the 50,000 taels of white flowers slipped away from front of me like this, and no one could bear it.
"Why don't you want to stop it?"
Liu Sidao: "I have already ventilated with the Jiedu envoy, and I also gave him silver, a full 50,000 taels, and he also promised to personally come forward to ban other restaurants; But I didn't expect that half a year has passed, and there is no action and no news... ā
Before Liu Si finished speaking, Luo Yi became angry when he heard it, slapped the table fiercely, and said, "How can this be reasonable, this Hu Ran, he doesn't do anything after eating, see how I clean him up." ā
Zhao Wenxian said with a smile: "Big brother, don't be angry, I guess he eats money at both ends, not to mention Liu Si, but also eats that gang." ā
Luo Yi said: "Then he is not afraid to hold on?!" ā
"I really didn't expect that Hu Ran would be such a person, and when I entered the city, I regarded him as a clean official."
Liu Si smiled and said: "Big brother, how can there be so many clean officials in the world, if they are all clean officials, how can we live; In the past two years, I have figured out that money can make ghosts push demons, and no matter how big an official is, he can't withstand money and can't resist temptation. ā
"Hehe... This is said thoroughly. ā
Luo Yi agreed with Liu Si's statement.
Luo Yi may not be very good at dealing with Qing officials, but the other party is a corrupt official, Luo Yi dares to pat his chest; Corrupt officials have their own shortcomings, for fear that their shortcomings will be known, so Luo Yi is not afraid at all. Especially if you have already caught the handle of the other party, you don't have to be afraid.
Luo Yi said: "Tomorrow I will personally visit Hu Ran and let him know that it is not so easy to eat my things, hum." ā
Liu Si said with a smile: "If the eldest brother comes forward, he will be deflated." ā
...........
As soon as the sky was bright, Luo Yi went to the government office angrily.
Jiangnan Jiedu made Hu Ran hear that Luo Yi was coming, and hurriedly greeted him, the two met in the courtyard, Luo Yi glared at him with a full eye, and his expression was indifferent: "Hu Ran, you did a good thing." ā
"Humph!"
With a heavy snort, Luo Yi raised his feet and entered the room.
This move made Hu Ran very puzzled, he recalled carefully, he didn't offend Luo Yi, since Luo Yi arrived in Wuyang City, he has always been conscientious in his duties, like facing the abyss, walking on thin ice, trembling, and never offended.
What's going on? Why is Luo Yi displeased?
didn't have time to think about it, Hu Ran hurriedly followed.
"Master Hou, what did the lower officials offend you? Please also make it clear. ā
"What place? Forgot about my money so quickly? That's 50,000 taels. You forgot, I didn't. Hu Ran, your appetite is really not small, you are still bold, and you don't do anything after receiving money, how can it be reasonable. ā
Luo Yi directly picked out the matter, and he was not afraid of being caught by Hu Ran.
Hu Ran also thought about it, he did accept forty or fifty thousand taels of silver from Liu before, and said that he would ban several restaurants, but he didn't do that afterwards, because he received silver from another group of people.
Originally, because he was the envoy of Jiangnan Province, he could continue to suppress it, but now that Luo Yi came to the door in person, Hu Ran didn't dare to expire the deadline.
"Master Hou, the lower official remembered."
Luo Yi said: "Since you remember, what do you say you should do?" ā
Hu Ran didn't say a word, reprimanded the soldiers in the hall, and then asked the house slave to carry out 50,000 taels of silver, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, this silver is all here, you can take it back, the lower officials have never used it." ā
There was a great deal of silver, ten chests of silver, all of which were sealed and placed on the hall.
Luo Yi looked at it and laughed: "Master Hu is really a humble gentleman, he doesn't take a penny of money in his hand, and he still sticks it with the seal of the Drunken Immortal Residence, which really opens my eyes." ā
Hu Ran said: "Back to the Hou Ye, Liu Si explained the matter to the lower officials, but the lower officials did not do it, so they didn't dare to use it." ā
"Okay, do you know what you're doing?"
Luo Yi's face suddenly changed and became extremely ruthless.
Hu Ran knew that this was corruption and accepting bribes, so he quickly knelt down: "Master Hou, you can spare me this time, I..." ā
"Master Hu, please get up, what are you doing, you are also a second-grade master, how can you kneel to me."
"No, no, no, Master Hou, please accept my worship, you must save me."
"Look at you, get up, get up, get up."
Luo Yi helped Hu Ran up. Pointing to the silver in the hall, he said, "Actually... To me, these are all trivial, Lord Hu should know that I am in business, and Drunken Immortal Residence is my industry, so I am not going to go back to this silver. But.... ā
Originally, Luo Yi was going to take it back, but after thinking about it, Zuixianju would have to develop in Jiangnan in the future, and Jiangnan was a rich land in Shoushan, so it was indispensable to ask Hu Ran for help, only 50,000 taels, Luo Yi gritted his teeth, and he didn't plan to ask for it.
