As soon as these words came out, Zhao Guansheng's scalp tingled in shock, but the smile on the face of the white-haired Ye Ghost Lord suddenly disappeared. Although he was already a lot older, his kind and kind eyes just now suddenly became extremely sharp, and he turned around Du Shiyi and Pei Ning like a knife, and then said lightly: "In this case, Lu Langjun will accompany your distinguished guests to walk around, and I will not accompany you." ”

If he heard afterwards that Du Shiyi, who had once overwhelmed the big businessmen everywhere in Chengdu, had been treated so slowly in such a small fang-knitting village in Yazhou, Zhao Guansheng could have laughed out loud, but now that he had collided with someone, what he felt was not happiness, but shock. Sure enough, he tried his best to hide himself from the others, only to see Du Shiyi glance at him, and then slowly walked towards him. At that moment, he didn't know how many thoughts were circling in his heart, and even had killing thoughts in a flash, but then he snuffed himself out.

He's just a businessman, if he really does that kind of thing, does he want to raid his family and exterminate his family?

When Du Shiyi came to him, he forced himself to squeeze out a smile, and then said in a respectful tone: "Du Shiyu, please forgive me for not knowing Mount Tai before......

Without waiting for him to finish explaining, Du Shiyi asked with a smile: "Just now, the Ye Ghost Lord called the respected driver Zhao Lang, and I don't know the name of the honored driver?"

Zhao ...... Guansheng. Knowing that it would be in vain to try to fool him at this time, Zhao Guansheng had to honestly report his surname. Just as he was entangled in what Du Shiyi would ask next, he suddenly heard a voice interjecting from the oblique: "Zhao Lang is my guest, please don't intimidate him!"

Seeing that it was the Ye Ghost Lord who didn't know when he had appeared on the side of the two, Zhao Guansheng was in a conflicted mood for a while, and wanted to use the words he had just instilled in the Ye Ghost Lord to further arouse his hostility towards Du Shiyi, and send this group away, for fear that it would arouse Du Shiyi's suspicions. Just when he was in a dilemma, Du Shiyi moved his steps slightly, facing the gray-haired old man.

"I heard just now that this Zhao Lang and Ye Ghost Lord seem to have been doing tea business for many years, so much so that Ye Ghost Lord promised him not to do business with outsiders?"

"So what?" Although the early Tang Dynasty began to organize households and accept the jurisdiction of the government, the government did not directly manage the fanghu as it did for ordinary Han households, and he, the ghost master in charge of tribal sacrifices, was far more authoritative than those villages, coupled with his impatience like fire, even the government rarely provoked him. Moreover, Zhao Guansheng said a lot of bad things about Du Shiyi to him, and in his eyes, he had already beaten people into cunning people, so he naturally spoke unceremoniously at this time.

"Du Shiyu is an envoy of the imperial court, but my village is just a simple place, and I dare not ask Du Shiyu to stay for a long time!"

Zhao Guansheng was completely sure that if he was replaced by any court official, just the words of the Ye Ghost Lord would be able to make him angry. However, whether it was Du Shiyi or the other Pei Yushi who walked slowly, both of them didn't even move their faces, and their four eyes didn't pay attention to Ghost Lord Ye, and their eyes all fell on him. Under this pressure, the weather was already hot, and he felt that his back clothes were all wet unconsciously.

"I'm just here to have a casual look, and Lu Shilang is buying some tea on behalf of his father."

Du Shiyi knew that his prestige in Chengdu was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the people through one incident after another, and naturally he didn't expect to be able to shake the body of a tiger when he first arrived in Yazhou, and shocked the people here into obedience. Sure enough, he pulled out Lu Qi's name, and Ghost Lord Ye's expression softened a lot, but he looked at Lu Cong again and asked, "Lu Shilang, is it really Lu Dudu who wants to buy tea?" Alas, Lu Dudu helped the village to relieve the urgent need for drinking water before, but afterwards he refused to accept whatever we sent! I knew that Lu Dudu loved tea, so I chose the most haode bud tip of chūn tea and sent it to me!" Where did his father ask him to buy tea? Lu Cong said so in his heart, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense and ruin Du Shiyi's affairs. Sure enough, he only heard Du Shiyi say with a smile: "Lu Dudu is clean and self-conscious, and he never accepts gifts from others, where will he collect the tea of the Ye Ghost Lord for nothing?" Before Lu Shilang came, Lu Dudu specially instructed him that he must pay and buy, and he could not lose half a cent. However, Lu Dudu's favorite is indeed the tip of chūn tea buds, and the current price is about two horses of silk He plans to buy five catties back, part of which is for his own use, and part of it is brought back to Liangjing as a gift to relatives and friends. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Guansheng knew that it was bad. Sure enough, he only heard Ghost Lord Ye ask in disbelief: "Two horses and one catty?" No matter how good Mengshan is at the tip, it can be sold at such a high price?"

"Two horses of silk for one This is still because Yazhou is close to Mengshan, so it can be so cheap, if in the two capitals of Chang'an and Luoyang, a pound of the best Mengding bud tip, but it is a tea lover who really takes five horses of silk to buy around, but no one is willing to sell it to him!"

Since the sinicization has been deep, for the pros and cons of dealing with the Han people, Ye Ghost Master's age is naturally very deep. In the past, the mountain people in the villages also used to transport the hard-earned mountain goods and furs to Yazhou City to sell, but they were repeatedly oppressed and deceived by others, and the government rarely upheld justice, so the mountain people were reluctant to go into the city to deal with those slippery Han people. As a result, businessmen like Zhao Guansheng, who regularly come to trade with the village, have also been welcomed.

First, Zhao Guansheng asked for a lot of things like this, secondly, although his price was not extremely high, it was better than what the mountain people used to get when they went to the city to sell alone, and thirdly, Zhao Guansheng knew how to be a man, and often brought some fashionable cloth in the city to the mountain people, and even all kinds of gadgets, one came and went, most of the people in the village had a good impression of him, even if the ghost master Ye was in charge of talking to the ghosts and gods, but it was not exempt from vulgarity.

But at this moment, he sensed from Du Shiyi's words that he had never thought of before, and his face immediately turned cold. He was not a gullible person, he turned around and arched his hand in front of Lu Cong, and asked in a respectful and earnest tone: "Lu Langjun, has the camellia really been sold at such a high price now?"

Lu Cong just saw that Du Shiyi had changed his attitude in the name of his father, and when he found that the other party had turned to him, he was stunned for a while, and he smiled bitterly: "Grandpa has been fond of drinking tea since he arrived in Yazhou, and he refuses to pretend to others and accept gifts, so I often go to this tea market in person." In the past three years, the price of tea has more than doubled, and Mengshan tea, or Mengding bud tip, is even more difficult to find a leaf, which is not made up by Du Shiyu. ”

If Du Shiyi said that Ghost Lord Ye still had hesitation in his heart, then Lu Cong also said so, and he believed it in his heart. He has always been very respectful to Lu Qi, the governor of Yazhou, and the other party has never coerced Entu to repay him, and he also recognizes the person himself, how can it be fake? Moreover, when he went to see Zhao Guansheng, he saw that Zhao Lang, a businessman who had always been known for his generosity, was already sweating profusely at this time.

Faced with this scene, Du Shiyi glanced at Zhao Guansheng, and said lightly: "Although the Tea Quotation Division was initially established, it never collected taxes from tea farmers, but ordered the tea merchants who collected tea to buy tea quotations first, and then allowed to buy tea. In order to prevent them from hurting the peasants by lowering prices, they even set the government's guide price of one pound of tea and half a horse. I don't know what price Zhao Lang and Ye Ghost Master have always traded? Can you make Ghost Lord Ye agree that he will never sell the tea to other families, but will definitely leave it to you?"

The people don't fight with the officials, this is on the surface, as for what kind of stumbling block can be made without showing traces behind the scenes, that is the ability, Zhao Guansheng said this to himself before, plus these slightly smaller tea merchants also connected several of them, and they thought that they had direct dealings with the tea planters in the tea gardens and tea fields below, not without a fight. But at this moment, when they really clashed, he knew that he was really wrong. He no longer thinks that Du Shiyi happened to bump into him today, how can there be such a coincidence in this world, it is clear that the other party is prepared, and he has no intention of calculating it!

"This ...... This ......" he struggled for a long time, and finally could only hold on to Zuihou to defend himself, "I have traded with the Ye Ghost Lord for many years, and the amount is large, and I have always paid in advance, so the price is naturally not as good as those wealthy wealthy businessmen......"

"But Zhao Lang told me before that those wealthy businessmen rely on their financial resources, so they will push the price to far lower than ten catties of tea and a silk, so they persuaded me to use the price of five catties of tea and a silk in previous years to sell you all the tea produced in the village this year, and it seems that I have suffered a big loss!"

Since the Ye ghost lord has come to his senses, where is there still so good to fool, and his brows suddenly stood up: "In vain, I let the whole village treat you as a distinguished guest, every time you come, you will inevitably take out the most haode stock, slaughter sheep and chickens, take out all the mountain delicacies and game, and entertain you with all your might, I didn't expect you to be so cunning!" You get out of here, if you dare to step into this place for half a step, don't blame me for being polite!"

Zhao Guansheng couldn't help but take a few steps back for a while under the scolding of the Ye Ghost Lord, and secretly regretted it in his heart for a while. After dealing with Ye Ghost Lord for a long time, he thought that he had figured out the details of these mountain people, knew that they didn't understand price fluctuations, and naturally had the intention of fraud, and over the years, he had made a lot of money and sold well, but now that he was exposed, not only did he lose face, but if the news spread, he would no longer want to do business among these fang-knitting households around Yazhou!

These fangs are not those who can only fight and kill, such as the ghost lord who is in charge of the sacrifice of the tribe, will participate in the meeting of the joint election of the big ghost lord of the various ministries, and at that time, the families will communicate with each other, and his reputation will be completely stinky!

However, this matter is not over, just as he was about to leave, he only heard Du Shiyi say in a deep voice: "Ghost Lord Ye, since you don't want to deal with this Zhao Lang who has been trading, the guide price given by the Tea Quotation Division for two catties of tea and one silk, if others feel that it is high and unwilling to accept it, the Tea Quotation Division can also accept it directly." If Ghost Lord Ye doesn't mind, I can order someone to come over immediately, and the money and goods will be cleared. I still have something to ask this Zhao Lang, can I ask Ghost Lord Ye to take a break from his anger?"
