Chapter 56 Transactions
"Bronze?" Liu Yuan's face was shocked, his eyes were deep, what did the city mean this week, could it be that he was testing him? "What Brother Zhou said, Yuan is a little unclear." He pretended not to know.
"Pavilion Chief Liu doesn't want to make fun of the city anymore." Zhou Shi shook his head and smiled, with a already known expression on his face, and said lightly: "The city has already investigated what Pavilion Chief Liu did in Surabaya Pavilion, accumulating money and hoarding rice and grain, hehe, isn't this exactly what we, the righteous men of the Six Kingdoms, are secretly doing?" Pei County is the land of the old Chu, do not hide from Liu Tingchang, in the early years of the city also saw the old Chu Mr. Xiang Liang. I wonder if Liu Tingchang can be Mr. Xiang Liang's doorman? ”
Hearing this, Liu Yuan finally understood, it turned out that Zhou Shi had mistaken him for a righteous man. He frowned, it seemed that he still showed his feet, if someone was interested in a little inquiry, it would inevitably be suspicious. Hearing Zhou Shi's question, Liu Yuan shook his head slightly, and he arched his hand and said, "Brother Zhou misunderstood, Yuan is just a small pavilion chief, but he doesn't know Xiang Liang." ”
"Don't recognize?" Zhou Shi was surprised, "Pavilion Chief Liu, the city is honest with each other, and I also hope that Pavilion Chief Liu will be open and honest." ”
Liu Yuan pondered in his heart, this week is indeed frank, even if it is a forbidden object like bronze, the latter does not shy away from proposing. He looked at Zhou Shi again, made up his mind, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, since Brother Zhou urgently needs rice and grain, Yuan Yuan will be exchanged." "Rice grain is fundamental, but the Surabaya Pavilion can be exchanged for porcelain, he is not lacking now, but this bronze can be described as timely rain, exchanging rice grain for bronze, no matter how you look at it, he will not suffer.
"I don't know where Brother Zhou's bronze came from?" Liu Yuan asked again, bronze is more precious than rice, since Zhou Shi is willing to exchange this, it can be seen that the latter has a lot of reserves.
"Huh." Zhou Shi smiled, and when he heard that Liu Yuan was willing to exchange, he was also happy, so he also replied happily: "Liu Tingchang doesn't know, there is a mine in this Qingmang Mountain, and now it is in the hands of the city. Although the city is a civilian, it still has some ability in this big beam. ”
Liu Yuan's head, this mine is extraordinary, Zhou Shi was able to stand firm in Qingmang Mountain, which shows his prestige and connections in Daliang. Thinking of the grain exchange in Zhou City, if it is distributed, I am afraid that the prestige will rise again. Liu Yuan looked at Zhou Shi deeply, this person is not a dull person. The exchange was decided, and the two discussed some details, but Liu Yuan had some difficulties in how to transport it.
Bronze is not an ordinary cargo, once it is investigated, the responsibility will be heavy. Liu Yuan's exchange of rice and grain for copper can be described as a gamble, but once the gamble is won, it can affect future events, after all, this blade is indispensable.
"This transportation, the city can be guaranteed to Hengyang, as for Hengyang, the city will be powerless."
Liu Yuan nodded, it was good to be able to get to Hengyang, "After that, Yuan will figure out a way." ”
Out of the courtyard of Zhou City, Liu Yuan said to Zhou Bo: "Bronze is a big matter, and there is no room for loss, so this matter will be handed over to you to do." After a pause, he admonished again, "Be careful when you go from Hengyang to Qian County, as for Qian County, if you can get the help of the Xiahou family, you can save a lot of trouble." ”
"The Xiahou family is a big family in Qian County, and this matter still needs to be brought forward by Brother Xiahou." Zhou Bo also agreed.
"Let's go, let's go back first." Liu Yuan's head.
The two of them walked quite quickly, and they were back in the escort team in a short time. After seeing Liu Yuan, Cao Shen also breathed a sigh of relief, and he smiled: "Junior Brother Liu will not come back, and Shen Ke will take people to Daliang City." ”
"It's worried about Brother Cao." Liu Yuan saluted apologetically and said, "Yuan has something to do, and I hope Brother Cao understands." ”
"Oh, what's the matter?" Cao Shen asked in a condensed voice.
"That's the case, that Zhou City wanted to buy porcelain from my Surabaya Pavilion, and Yuan wanted Zhou Bo to return to the pavilion to supervise this matter, and hoped that Brother Cao would approve it." Naturally, it is impossible to publicize the bronze thing everywhere, and Liu Yuan has no choice but to lie about Cao Shen.
Cao Shen's face was solemn, his expression changed, and finally he said in a deep voice: "In this case, let Zhou Bo go back." "The strong man of the Surabaya Pavilion is only responsible for escorting, not a person who is forced to serve, except for Zhou Bo alone, Cao Shen is still acceptable.
When Liu Yuan heard this, he said sincerely: "Yuan thanked Brother Cao." Then he found Xiahou Ying again, and also concealed the bronze, and after he told him carefully, he said: "So, I also hope that Brother Xiahou will repair a book, and Yuan can let Zhou Bo hand it over to Xiahou's family." ”
Xiahou Ying didn't say much, he nodded in response, "Don't worry, Brother Yuan, my Xiahou family still has some face in Qian County, and the baby will let the people in the clan escort the caravan." ”
Liu Yuan ordered someone to take the animal skin, as well as pen and ink, and Xiahou Ying immediately wrote on the animal skin. After writing, he advised: "There is no token on the baby, if the clan does not believe it, Zhou Bo can tell my mother the name of the baby." This name is known only to the people of my people, and when my mother hears it, she will take the trust. Then he told Zhou Bo about his child's name, and the so-called child's name is the milk name.
Seeing that there was no mistake, Liu Yuan shouted Zhou Bo to the side again, and he commanded in a low voice: "After you return to the pavilion, immediately ask Liu Fang to stop exchanging porcelain for grain." In addition, I gave this letter to my father-in-law, Mrs. Lu, and he will understand it after reading it. Also, after this bronze is transported to the pavilion, you and Liu Fang find a secret place to bury it, and you must not make a noise. ”
Zhou Bo hid the two animal skin letters close to his body, and he was also dignified, and replied: "Brother Yuan, don't worry, Bo knows the severity." ”
"Brother Yuan naturally trusts you." Liu Yuan patted Zhou Bo on the shoulder, "Pay attention to safety on the road, everything is important to yourself, if you encounter trouble, don't want these bronzes." "It is more important to save people than to save copper.
"Bo knows, Brother Yuan, please take care!" After Zhou Bo bowed, he returned along the road with water bladders and dry food and coiled entanglements, and he needed to go to Surabaya Pavilion to organize a caravan to transport rice and grain to Hengyang, and then exchange with Zhou City.
"Let's go." Cao Shen also ordered at this time, and the conscription team continued to move forward.
Liu Yuan walked at the end of the line, and after Zhou Bo left, the burden of the tail fell on his shoulders. Liu Ji and the three of them didn't know when they hooked up with Li Zheng again, and the four of them muttered all the way, which made Liu Yuan's heart uneasy.
"Brother, do you really want to exchange bronze for rice?" In Daliang City, Wednesday looked at Zhou City in confusion.
Zhou Shi sighed: "This Liu Yuan is not simple, if he is really just hoarding rice and grain, I can't judge." However, he finally agreed to exchange it for bronze, and I was convinced that he was a righteous man. It's just that I don't know which nobleman's disciple this Liu Yuan is. After a pause, he said again: "In this way, if you send someone to Huiji, maybe Mr. Xiang Liang will be interested in this Liu Yuan." Hey, it's a pity that my Zhou City is loyal to Wei, but I still don't know where Wei Gongzi is. ”
