Should I say it or not, Lin Xiangyun's shot is really generous, the silver in the tray, weigh it, it is estimated that there will be one hundred taels. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This number, plus the fact that there can be 300 people on their side, the average bandit basically won't come anymore, either to let them go, or to bargain for more. When it is added to two hundred taels, you will definitely be spared. If you really fight, I'm afraid you will have to be hurt on your side, everyone comes out to mix, it's all for money, there is no need to kill everything.

Lin Xiangyun basically thinks the same way.

But he didn't expect that Ri Chuangu just grinned and said: "Lao Tzu is not looking for you for money, he is looking for you to sell flags!" ”

"What do you mean by selling flags?" Lin Xiangyun asked puzzled.

"Selling flags is ......" day through the intestines will now be the rules on the green forest road in eastern Liaodong to talk about it, if you buy flags in Bali Town outside the city, then you will have to pay a price of one percent, if you buy it here, it is two percent.

As soon as he heard this, Lin Xiangyun's mouth grew big, how are you collecting tolls, and you are robbing it horizontally. Of course, it's a bright robbery!

Seeing that he didn't move, Sun Chuanyun shouted violently, "Don't call the toll - kill!" ”

As soon as the voice fell, the minions immediately dispersed, opened their bows and arrows, and prepared to shoot.

Immediately, they all shouted loudly, "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" ……

As soon as this posture was put out, the people in the caravan were startled, and in the darkness of the night, the shouts of killing were even more terrifying than in the daytime.

Such momentum is far better than that of ordinary robbers.

The timid one in the caravan had begun to slowly retreat, ready to run away.

Lin Xiangyun was also trembling in his heart, he knew in his heart that he would definitely not be able to beat him. For the sake of the present, just give money.

He said with a smile on his face: "The rules of the king, the little one is also the first time I have heard of it. The value of my goods is about four thousand taels of silver, which is eight hundred taels when converted into two achievements. I'll give the money to buy flags. ”

After saying that, he jumped off his horse and prepared to go and get the money.

"How much your goods are worth is not up to you, but to me! We're going to inspect it to determine how much your goods are worth. If it's worth 10,000 taels, and you say it's only worth 4,000, then wouldn't we lose it! Sun Chuanyun said loudly.

Lin Xiangyun scolded secretly in his heart, you still have to lose money. The money picked up for nothing can still be called compensation.

However, he didn't dare to say this kind of thing, and continued to say with a smile: "If you don't hide it from the king, it's really only worth four thousand taels." ”

"Less special for Lao Tzu! If it's worth four thousand taels, do you need three hundred people to pledge the goods? Come on, be strict with Lao Tzu, if anyone dares to resist, kill him! "This time it's the day and the intestines are yelling.

Immediately, more than 20 minions ran out and went to the opposite caravan to inspect the goods.

The wagons of the caravan were surrounded by people, but none of them dared to stop them. After all, there are bows and crossbows next to him, and if he dares to move, he will be shot as a hedgehog if he can't keep it.

"This ...... This ......" Lin Xiangyun didn't know what to say, and watched as people opened the box for inspection.

These minions are all guys from the cargo store, if they are ordinary minions, how can they estimate how much the goods are worth.

Most of the goods in front of me are salt. Although salt is not particularly lacking in Liaodong, it is not like the Jurchens. If you just sell official salt, you won't make much money at all, mainly relying on private salt.

Selling salt requires an official license, and this license is called salt citation. The imperial court has a quota for salt every year, and it will be over when it is sold. According to the official saying, if you have as much salt as you want, you can take as much salt as you want, and sell as much salt as you want. But this is impossible, if you sell it like this, you can make a few bucks. Therefore, those who get the salt will oversell the salt, and the official does not care. For example, if you have 1,000 catties of salt, then you have to sell at least 5,000 catties of salt. This is just an analogy, and the truth is certainly not only a thousand pounds of salt. But no matter what the number of salt you quote, the salt you sell must be several times or even more than ten times the amount of salt.

Wang Yu checked the military quartermaster here, but he didn't check the smuggled salt, and he would let you pass if he gave the money. After all, you can't say that people sell illicit salt, they must sell it to the Jurchens. When one is destroyed, there is no way to live that day. Therefore, this side is not responsible for blocking the illegal sale of military supplies. As long as there is ordnance or something, it is basically given up.

The cost of private salt is low, but the profit is large.

These minions who are in charge of inspection are not taken seriously. However, when they found the back boxes, their eyes lit up. In these boxes, there were all silk, and one of the experienced men, who recognized it at a glance, said, "This is Lu silk!" ”

"Really! Looks pretty good! Another guy said.

"Nonsense, this is a high-quality silk, don't touch it!" The veteran fellow immediately shouted.

In the end, they are not really robbing, and it is not good to destroy other people's good things.

After inspecting it, they came to report to Sun Chuanyun.

"Qi Qi is in charge, the goods are salt and high-quality silk, and the estimated price is 10,000 taels."

After hearing this, Ri Chuanyun nodded, and said to Lin Xiangyun: "Did you hear it, these goods of yours are worth 10,000 taels, and you can prepare 2,000 taels of silver over there." ”

"Huh?" Lin Xiangyun immediately said with a bitter face: "This king, I can't hide it, if these goods are all taken out and sold, the price of the goods is indeed as you said." But those silks are not to be sold, but to be given away. ”

"Give it away? Lao Tzu doesn't care if you sell it or give it away! Ri pierced the intestines and shouted angrily: "If everyone who passes by says this, then Lao Tzu's business will not be done!" Tama, hurry up and get the money, otherwise, don't blame Lao Tzu for being unkind to you! ”

"This ...... King...... Two thousand taels of silver, the villain didn't bring so much when he went out, otherwise, he would give it to you first, and then make up the other half for you when he came back. Lin Xiangyun said with a bitter face.

"Lao Tzu doesn't take credit here! If you don't have any money, you can get the top! As he spoke, he looked at the guy just now and asked, "What do you think is better?" ”

"Boss, it's useless for us to ask for so much salt, I think the silk on their car is better, all of them are high-quality goods. I estimated that I would get at least fifty or sixty taels of silver a horse. The guy said.

"So valuable?" Hinachi said in surprise.

"Lu silk is as famous as Shu brocade and Hangzhou satin, and the best Lu silk must be paid tribute to the emperor. And these in the car are definitely not as good as those sent to the palace, but they are also the best goods on the market. The guy said solemnly.

"In that case, let's use this to redeem a thousand taels. Our buddies also make a few sets of good clothes to wear, and send some to the helper by the way. Ri pierced his bowels and laughed, pointed to the front and said, "Work hard, work!" Go up and get all the goods and money, so let's go back and continue drinking. ”

"Yes!" ……

A minion said yes, and rushed over.

The people of the caravan didn't dare to stop it, and Lin Xiangyun had no choice, except for secretly complaining in his heart, he couldn't say anything. Seeing that the other party had moved away twenty horses of high-quality silk, he also took out a thousand taels of silver to the other party.

Ri Chuangu kept his promise, gave them flags, explained the details, and then left.

When Ri Chuanyun and Ri Chuanyun led the men and horses to leave, Lin Xiangyun was barely relieved, but he was also worried.

A bookkeeper walked up to his side and whispered: "Shopkeeper, the Lu silk given to Gao Gonggong made the family snatch twenty horses, how can we explain it?" ”

"If you ask me, who do I ask? These bastards! Lin Xiangyun scolded hatefully.

"But it's also strange about this, these bandits kept their promises and only took two achievements and left." The bookkeeper said.

"Is 20% less?" Lin Xiangyun said angrily.

"Twenty percent is not, but if you encounter an ordinary robber, in this case, I'm afraid it's not a matter of two percent." The bookkeeper sighed.

"This ...... It's also ......," Lin Xiangyun couldn't help but nodded.

"They took 20% and left a flag, saying that it was unimpeded in Liaodong by virtue of this, and there would be no robbery in Liaoyang all the way. I look at this posture, this thing should be reliable. The bookkeeper said.

"What's the use of being reliable!" Lin Xiangyun gritted his teeth with hatred.

"They don't look like ordinary bandits, they look quite qualified. Xiaotuan Mountain is between Ning Yuanwei and Shanhaiguan, isn't it strange that someone dares to rob in this place? The bookkeeper said again.

"Huh......" When Lin Xiangyun heard this, he couldn't help but be moved, this is indeed the case, what bandits have such courage.

It's not the first time I've come to Liaodong, Xiaotuan Mountain is a must-pass place, and I've never seen bandits, but now it's good that I came so many at once. And it's also very particular, specially set the rules for buying road money, where to buy flags, where to hand over flags, even listen to the number.

"That's really the case, it seems that things are not simple here." Lin Xiangyun said.

"That's right, in my opinion, either the officers and soldiers pretend to be bandits to collect tolls, or the officials and bandits collude!" The bookkeeper said.

"But if that's the case, then we'll have no choice but to admit bad luck. But if the silk for Gao Gonggong is less than half, Gao Gonggong will definitely be angry, and after we go back, we won't be able to explain to the owner. Lin Xiangyun said.

"In my opinion, there is only one way now, let's hurry slowly here and go to Liaoyang. On the other hand, he hurriedly sent someone back to Shanxi to report to the owner and see what the owner meant. The bookkeeper said.

"That's all it can be." Lin Xiangyun nodded helplessly.

Immediately let the bookkeeper take two people, then rode into the customs, and went to Shanxi to report to the owner. And he continued on his way.

They were suffering on their side, and the people on the mountain were extremely happy. This high-quality silk is worth at least fifty or sixty taels of silver, and now that the king gang leader has not been married, he didn't give any gifts when he first went. The robbed silk can just be sent to the king's helper.

Ri Chuan's intestines wanted to keep two horses, but Ri Potian said that if one horse was not left, they must all be sent.
