Chapter 334: The Contest (Part II)

Yu'e Zhai is the only place in Sinan County that is close to culture. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

There is a saying in the northwest that Wenqu Xing is in Youzhou, and he also uses a brush as a broom. It means that the children of the poor family who were born and raised in Youzhou cannot have the possibility of ascending to the branch at all, even if Qu Xing in the sky is blinded and casts the wrong fetus and falls here, he can only use the big pen in his hand as a broom and sweep the floor in front of the house.

It's a joke, but there's some truth to it. The land is barren and the rain is insufficient, where is there a wealth like rice in the south of the Yangtze River, where is the abundance of two or three harvests a year, coupled with the chaos of the army, where is there leisure time to study?

However, Yu Ezhai is the former dynasty Confucian Li Xiaocheng for the mother of the nunnery built by the mother, which left a lot of ink treasures, moved to the people, passed through this place, also left more inscriptions, after several repairs, but became a radius of ten miles, one of the few places of scholarly fragrance, there are smart dolls of the landlord's family to be determined to read, more to burn incense here to worship.

Almost twists and turns, this nunnery has long been not owned by the Li family, can not afford to provide incense, the original nuns and teachers also went to Luoyang to make a living, only three or five old nuns remain, chanting and worshipping the Buddha every day.

The old lady of the Liu family hurried to make a sedan chair, looked around at the door of Ezhai, a cane swayed left and right, and saw the Liu family running in a hurry behind him, so he said: "Give me a little cleverness later!" Who dares to mess up this deal, don't enter my Liu family in this life and this life! ”

The youngest son, who wanted to persuade a few more words, heard the old man say this, so he simply shut up, hung his sleeves and stood on the side waiting.

There were a few old nuns in the nunnery, so they didn't pay much attention to it, opened the door of the nunnery, and saw that the people of the Liu family had arrived, so they put their hands together and saluted, and said, "Old lady Liu, the old nun is polite." ”

"Master Kong Jing is too good, I don't know where those people who are looking for me Liu Fangtang are now?"

Master Kong Jing said: "Lord Liu, please." ”

The old lady of the Liu family held palms in her palms, saluted in the air, stepped into the threshold, and walked inside. Lin Lan and Hu Yanjun, who were drinking tea and waiting inside, heard the movement outside and learned that the people of the Liu family were coming, so they got up to greet them.

"Old lady Liu, you are polite in your late life."

Liu Fangtang swept left and right, stood in front, and said, "You two, who is the master?" ”

Lin Lan glanced at Hu Yanjun and sat down.

Hu Yanjun said: "Oh, this is the shopkeeper Lin from Luoyang, and he is also here to buy salt." ”

The old lady of the Liu family's face immediately fell, sat opposite Lin Lan on crutches, paused heavily on crutches, and the people who followed the Liu family all stood behind the old lady in unison.

"You are not kind in this later life, you said that you were selling me Liujia salt, why did you find another family, are you afraid that my Liu Fangtang will not be able to eat your goods?"

Lin Lan smiled and said: "Old lady Liu, now that there is a great shortage of salt, everyone wants to make a fortune, this salt is naturally obtained by the one with the highest price, is it possible that only your Liu family is allowed to buy salt, and my Lin family is not allowed to buy it?" ”

"Hehe, I'm sorry. Peer three enemies, old man, I said ugly things ahead, although Luoyang is big, but it is not the exclusive place of your Lin family, speak politely. ”

Lin Lan smiled slightly, "Old Man Liu's words are hiding needles, which sounds a little harsh. I heard that there is a lot of salt hoarded in the Liu family's shop, why don't you take it out and sell it? Instead, you want to swallow these private salts? ”

"Shopkeeper Lin, if we don't talk darkly, I don't believe that there is not a single grain of salt in your Lin family's shop, the salt of this official family, how much silver can we get as a merchant, you are bright in your heart, there are more wolves and less meat, how many hoards can you have?"

Hu Yanjun said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to quarrel, what about these dozens of truckloads, even if it is one and a half, they must be able to make a lot of money, and today I am looking for two of you to discuss how much of this salt is suitable for sale?" ”

Old lady Liu raised her eyebrows and said, "Twenty wen a catty." ”

"Twenty wen? Old lady Liu, the price you gave is too low, and now it has risen to 30 wen a catty, if you don't have something important to go back, you can sell it slowly, how can you sell it to 50 wen a catty. ”

Liu Fangtang sneered: "The price is low? You don't want to think about how much risk you have to take? In case the price of this salt comes down, it can't be stopped, the sea salt in Jiaodong will be picked up, and it will be flooded when the time comes. ”

Hu Yanjun smiled: "Who said that I only have dozens of cars? ”

Liu Fangtang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Didn't you let out the wind, just dozens of cars?" ”

"One hundred carts of salt is enough for three months in Sinan County." This cart of salt is almost 1,000 catties, enough for 100,000 people to eat for a day, and 100 carts of salt can naturally last for three months. Although this bit of salt is still very little for the entire Youzhou City, it is enough to make one or two salt merchants full.

Liu Fangtang totaled left and right, and won two thousand taels of silver, which was enough to double the capital, and in Sinan County, it is estimated that only a big family like the Liu family can take out a huge sum of two thousand taels of silver in an instant.

Seeing that Liu Fangtang's eyes were full of fire, Lin Lan shook his head and chuckled, this old man seems to have gotten into the eyes of money.

"Twenty Texts...... Can you ...... a little bit? Low ......"

"I'll give twenty taels of silver a pound!"

Suddenly a cry came from outside the house, breaking the atmosphere in the nunnery.

Liu Fangtang heard that someone was coming to make trouble, and said angrily: "Twenty taels of silver a catty, aren't you afraid of the wind flashing your tongue?" ”

Shang Qingyang rushed into the door, and the paper fan shook gently, "Twenty taels, Tong Su is not bullied, it's just a dark coin!" Hu Yanjun, do you dare to accept it? ”

Lin Lan happened to be blocked by Liu Fangtang.

Shang Qingyang sneered: "Do you think that if you find two merchants in Luoyang and Guchuan as bait, I will find the door?" Sinan, Luoyang, and Guchuan are all staring at it, the three holes of the cunning rabbit, are you still playing such tricks with me? It seems that I am still slightly better than someone. ”

Liu Fangtang was confused by Shang Qingyang, and shouted: "What a mess, you have found so many people with this salt, aren't you playing with old decay!" ”

Hu Yanjun had already ignored Liu Fangtang, looked at Shang Qingyang and said, "Senior Brother Shang, we finally met again." ”

"Hehe, you still owe me Master's things at the beginning, and now you should pay back your life, right?"

Hu Yanjun smiled unhurriedly: "Who owes whom?" Shouldn't you pay for Master's life? Back then, I could see it clearly, and the Yang Zhou Sun Inspector Army was not something that ordinary people could mobilize. ”

Shang Qingyang narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "It seems that you know a lot, but you are all dying people, so it doesn't matter." ”

Bang Bang Bang!

had been blocked by Liu Fangtang before, and the sound of Lin Lan's clapping made Old Lady Liu startled, and looked back sideways. Only then did Lin Lan get up, continue to clapping his hands and laughing: "Senior Brother Shang, don't come to harm." ”

"Lin Lan?!"
