Li Cheng didn't expect that the people who were doing business here were so supportive of the Wang family Zhuangzi, and in order to find out if they really didn't collect taxes, they went elsewhere to get something to sell it.

After changing his clothes, he carried two baskets of spinach to this side, and swung it to that side, regardless of how many people were around, and shouted.

"Spinach, spinach is sold, two pounds of fresh spinach in the first penny."

shouted a few times, and the people around him really gathered, and they all looked at him with an uncomfortable look, and some shook their heads, but none of them were willing to buy it.

"Auntie, you can buy some spinach, sell it cheaply, two pounds a penny." Li Cheng saw that others didn't buy it, so he took the initiative to pull up the customer, and saw an elderly woman come to see it and say that it was cheap.

The aunt pursed her lips and muttered, "Very good young man, why is it so dark, a penny and two catties, waiting to be driven away." ”

When he said this, his voice was not loud, but Li Cheng still heard it, and he didn't understand why the aunt said that he was black, could it be too expensive? No, when he bought it, it was a penny or two catties, and he took some fares for nothing, he would not be stupid enough to pick it up by himself, hire a car or two, and pick it up here.

Just when he was puzzled, a voice came from the side, "Li Gongzi, is there nothing to do, come here for recreation?" It's better to go and drink some tea, I'll invite you, why lie to people, for the sake of Li Gongzi's face, I won't pick people up today, Li Gongzi please. ”

Li Cheng looked up and saw a man in a coarse cloth shirt standing beside him looking at him.

"How do you know me? Who are you? Li Cheng asked suspiciously.

"Li Gongzi is a nobleman, naturally he doesn't know me, but I can't help but know Li Gongzi, the person in charge of the Li family Zhuangzi, such a noble identity, he actually came here to sell spinach, I think Li Gongzi's spinach is a little small, and a little yellow, it's not from the Li family Zhuangzi, right? The spinach over there is better than this, and the price is three pounds a penny.

Could it be that Li Gongzi went to a distant place to buy expensive ones and came back to sell them? Hao Yaxing, I knew that Li Gongzi was like this, so I sold it to Li Gongzi, oh, my name is Ergou, and now I am in charge of the pricing of this market, you want to sell this spinach, so to speak, five catties a penny. ”

Ergou said kind words on his mouth, but the look on his face was not polite at all, he didn't know where Li Cheng got the spinach, not to mention the small, some of them may be tender spinach, but the spinach leaves are yellow, and he dares to sell it for a penny or two catties.

As for how he knew about Li Cheng, of course, it was told by others, and some faceless people in the surrounding Zhuangzi had special people to collect some things and tell them to do business, including the guys in the water and clouds, they would get a piece of paper with a portrait, and they must remember the nobles nearby.

Where did Li Cheng know this, look at his spinach, and stand up to see what others were selling, frowning, feeling that it was indeed a lot worse, people shouted that it was three catties a penny, and from time to time he had to pour some water on the green vegetable leaves, which looked fresher, and the person who bought vegetables, after weighing, had to deduct some water money, and water also accounted for the weight.

Li Cheng saw with his own eyes that there was a person who exchanged a small bag of not very good tea leaves for six catties of spinach, and left happily, and the man who sold spinach gave the tea leaves to the old man at the tea stall, and the old man took out a penny and two handfuls of white melon seeds, which was considered the top.

Seeing these things, Li Cheng didn't know what to do, and then looked at the second dog waiting next to him, and suddenly said with a smile: "It turned out to be the second dog brother, I have been looking up for a long time, the second dog brother, I don't have any extra money on me, can I wait for the tax to come over tomorrow?" ”

"Li Gongzi is trying to trap me in prison, when did you collect taxes here? Li Gongzi is willing to sell, remember to ask for five catties a penny, and if he thinks that the sale is cheap, he will go back to Zhuangzi, in the Li family's Zhuangzi, spinach can be sold for three catties for a penny, of course, you have to pick a good one. ”

As soon as Ergou heard Li Cheng's words, he knew what his idea was, not to mention that there was indeed no tax here, that is, it was collected before, and it had to be changed at this time, and he smiled contemptuously when he spoke to Li Cheng.

At this time, Li Cheng finally had no choice, and shouted to the people around him: "Six catties for a penny, who is willing to buy it?" ”

He wanted to sell these broken things as soon as possible and continue to find the master, since he couldn't find trouble here, it took time to stay in vain, he thought that many people would buy it if it cost six catties a penny, but after shouting, the people around him took a few steps back at the same time.

Li Cheng was stunned now, Ergou obviously said that he was five catties for a penny, so why didn't anyone buy it if he sold six catties? Just when he couldn't figure it out, a kind person said to him: "Ergou has already said, your spinach is five catties a penny, why don't you know what to do?" I have to sell Liuwen. ”

Hear this. Li Cheng understood, it turned out that this pricing was so evil, how much is set, not high or low, he is not a fool, he immediately figured out the key point, who is responsible for pricing, then the final benefits will be in whose hands.

For example, salted eggs, there are many people who sell them today, and they are set to be two pennies, so the two dogs can naturally buy a lot, and the bulk of the trade is controlled in his hands, and when there are fewer people selling salted eggs tomorrow, he will set two pennies and three, then he will earn an egg, this kind of rule can not be underestimated, and all kinds of buying and selling objects can be used.

In this case, what taxes are used? Just by relying on the right to set prices, you can make a lot of money, a good means, the price is determined by the amount and condition of the goods, others will naturally not have opinions on the day, you can not sell, as long as it is sold, it will be cheaper.

"You are lying, you have benefited from it, everyone, don't believe him, the price he says is in his favor."

Li Cheng finally broke out, accused Ergou, and began to persuade the people around him, in his mind, everyone would definitely scold Ergou and unite to oppose it.

Who knew that after he finished speaking, the people around him looked at him with a foolish look, and a well-meaning person stood up and said to him: "Young man, hurry up and go home and find someone to see, hey, it's pitiful, this world is not easy." ”

When others heard this person's words, they nodded their heads, it seemed that Li Cheng was really sick, Li Cheng listened and felt, his lungs were almost not blown up, and when he didn't know how to say it, a person next to him gently pulled his sleeve, and when Li Cheng turned his head to look, this person said:

"Steward Li, I'm the farmer of the Li family's Zhuangzi, don't say it, others still think you're sick, who here doesn't know that when Ergou is priced, he can get benefits from it? But do you know what all those benefits do? It used to be here at night, and if you want to put the goods away, you need to pay something or money, but now you don't need it.

The money earned by Ergou is to repair those warehouses for everyone, and you see the four strong men next to him, they are invited with this money, if someone comes to make trouble, or bullies us people, the four of them will rush up and beat up, and when they are sent to the government, everyone understands.

And you look at the heat, in case which person buys and sells heatstroke, Ergou will also find someone to heal, and finally only charge a capital, anyway, it is better to sell it here than to be bullied elsewhere, everyone is used to it, Steward Li, you still have to go and be busy with your own affairs. ”

After the man finished speaking, he also opened his stall, which was also spinach, as the second dog said, three catties for a penny, and the people next to him wanted to eat, so they took out a few copper coins, or exchanged them for other things, all kinds of things, and the second dog was busy now, telling which person and which thing was worth from time to time.

As he spoke, he took out the sign on which he wrote, not only the price of something, but also the value of his own things according to the pattern on it.

Li Cheng stood there and no one paid attention to him anymore, he just relied on his status to be not low, otherwise he would have been kicked out a long time ago, this time Li Cheng was finally dead set on the tax matter, and he didn't expect to provoke others not to listen to Ergou's pricing, everyone said that the money was used in the market.

But he was still a little unwilling, waiting for Ergou to be almost busy, and found Ergou and said: "Brother Ergou, I want to buy and sell some things from you, I don't know how to calculate the price?" For example, how much will you give me for my spinach? That's a lot. ”

"The same? That's five pounds of money, and I'll take as much as you have. Ergou knew that this Li Cheng was not sincere in buying it, but he still answered his words.

"Then, if I buy the same spinach from you, how much is a pound, and I can buy more." Li Cheng asked again.

"Li Gongzi, now I don't sell this kind of spinach, you can't buy it, unless you are willing to spend more money, such as a penny a catty, a penny and two catties." Ergou replied to him again.

"So if it's expensive, you sell it, and if it's cheap, you won't sell it?"

"No, I won't sell it if it's expensive, if you want to buy it, you can find Shuiyunjian, there are people there to help you find such things, but you have to pay a certain fee." Ergou didn't give Li Cheng a chance at all.

Li Cheng had no choice but to thank him, turned around and left, as for the spinach, they were all given to the Li family's households, and he asked him to sell them back and eat something good.

After walking out of dozens of zhang, Li Cheng still felt awkward in his heart, what is this called, he couldn't find any trouble at all, just thinking about it, he suddenly found that there was a figure in front of him who was more familiar, and hurried two steps, and then looked at it, Li Cheng was happy, it was the master he saw, but he didn't expect him to come out.

"Hey, the one in front, wait a minute, I have something to say, big deal." Li Cheng shouted as he ran forward.

The man stopped and gave Li Cheng an unfathomable smile.
