Miao Village, the whole clan assembly.

Yang Erduo was knocked off the high platform by the Dongyang Daoist, and he lost his arrogance, and left with a snort.

Li Shan looked at Long Xueling, who was delighted on the side, and smiled: "I'm happy, it's been a long time since I've seen you so happy, and I haven't seen you smile so happily when it's wrong." ”

Long Xueling looked at Li Shan and said with a smile: "You can make up this lie, you are really a big liar, what is the will of the butterfly lady, I think you are plotting against you." ”

Li Shan nodded and said, "Yes, I'm just plotting against it, didn't I fall in love with the Miao family's phoenix, I just want to steal the Miao family's phoenix." I'm going to say it's the will of the Butterfly Lady, do you believe it? Li Shan had already put it in front of Long Xueling's eyes as he spoke.

Long Xueling felt that this posture was too ambiguous, so she snorted and turned around and ran away. Li Shan rubbed his nose with his thumb and said to himself, "Look where you are running." ”

"Li Shan, what you just said is true, and several of our leaders want to confirm with you." Uncle Agung walked over.

Li Shan pretended to be stupid and said, "What? What did I just say? ”

Uncle Agung was anxious when he heard this: "That's what you said about doubling the price of Xiangyu tea?" You just said to all the folks, you can't deny it! ”

Li Shan smiled and patted Uncle Agung on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'm a person who is a good man, so you can wait for my good news." After speaking, he didn't look back and went directly to Long Xueling.

"Why are you running so fast," Li Shan caught up with Long Xueling all the way and picked her up from behind.

Long Xueling exclaimed: "You let me go quickly, I will be seen." ”

Li Shan smiled and said, "It's better to see, I wish someone would see it." Okay, let's stop making a fuss, ask you about business. ”

Long Xueling saw that Li Shan was suddenly serious, but she was a little scared: "What are you doing, what's the matter?" ”

"What kind of blessing did you just say, what kind of Gu is it, what the hell is going on? Why haven't I heard you say that before? Although Li Shan pretended to be confident, he hadn't figured out what was going on.

Long Xueling breathed a sigh of relief: "This, I didn't want to tell you, but I'll tell you when it's all like this." So Long Xueling told him how to save him before, how to give him his natal Gu, and what this natal Gu was.

"Okay, do you know what's going on now?" Long Xueling finished speaking.

Li Shan let out a long sigh: "So...... You gave me your natal Gu from that Orion's house. Did you like me at that time? Li Shan smiled proudly.

Long Xueling refused to admit it, and snorted: "It's not." If it weren't for the fact that you risked your life to save me, how could I have saved you with my natal Gu. ”

Li Shan suddenly hugged Long Xueling, who was still justifying, and said, "Thank you, thank you for being able to save me so desperately." I have suffered such a great grievance for me. ”

Long Xueling seemed to have been immobilized, and it took a long time to slowly hug Li Shan, bury his head in Li Shan's arms, and the cry slowly came out, getting louder and louder, and Li Shan was a little shocked when he heard it. From the moment he decided to save Li Shan, no one realized the pressure that Long Xueling had been under in his heart along the way.

Hearing Li Shan's words, Long Xueling really let go of the grievances in her heart, and she couldn't stop crying. Li Shan didn't say anything, just hugged her quietly. It was only when Long Xueling's crying gradually became quieter that Li Shancai said slowly: "If you have any difficulties in the future, tell me directly, no matter how difficult the problem is, I will help you fight it together." ”

Long Xueling slapped Li Shan's chest twice and said, "Let's see if you are good to me in the future, if you are not good to me, I will die for you." Li Shan smiled: "How dare I treat you badly, you are sent by the butterfly lady, if I treat you badly, the butterfly lady will not settle accounts with me." ”

After whispering to Long Xueling for a long time, Li Shan suddenly received news from Zhang Yanzhao: Zhou Chang has taken the assassination.

Long Xueling looked at Li Shan and asked, "What's wrong?" Did something happen? Li Shan smiled slightly, touched Long Xueling's long and supple hair, and said, "Don't worry, it's a good thing." Now I'll talk to the patriarch. ”

"What are you talking about?" Long Xueling was still full of curiosity.

Li Shan smiled mysteriously and said, "Let's talk about how much is appropriate to give to your family?" ”

Long Xueling pursed her lips, looking incredulous. Li Shan whispered a few words in her ear, and Long Xueling was immediately happy: "Really." Then go to the patriarch, go quickly. ”

In the Bai Miao Ancestral Hall, the patriarch and the nine leaders have already arrived.

Li Shan took out the shipping license document signed by Zhou Chang, the assassin of Luzhou, for everyone to see, "With this thing, you can break the monopoly of Luzhou Tea Company on shipping, and from now on Luzhou's tea transportation industry My Li Tea Store was officially established, this is the tea purchase price list I have prepared, you can see it." ”

Li Shan handed the price list that he and Zhang Yanzhao had studied before to the patriarch. The patriarch's hands trembled a little when he held the price list. Sure enough, just like Li Shan said before, the price was more than three times higher than that of Luzhou Tea Shop, and Li Shan did not do this entirely because of Long Xueling.

Li Shan nodded and said, "Of course, these are not complete, and there are some necessary provisions. First of all, we can only pay a tenth of the price in advance, and I will pay another fifth of the price every month, and pay it off in five months, and I will pay back a fifth of the price in the fifth month. In addition, I need the Miao family to deliver the tea safely to the dock, and I will provide the vehicle, but I need manpower to protect it. Moreover, in the next ten years, Xiangyu tea can only be sold to my Li Tea Shop. ”

He is a businessman, so he naturally has to calculate the benefits. His own ability cannot compete with the Luzhou Tea Shop, so first of all, he must ensure that the interests of Luzhou officialdom cannot be damaged, which is a thirty percent profit. Secondly, he wants to use the Miao family to confront the Luzhou businessmen, which is also the main reason why he gave 30% of the profits to the Miao family, although the remaining profits are not as rich as the Luzhou Tea Shop obtained before, but Li Shan is not greedy, he understands that a win-win situation is the longest.

The patriarch discussed with the nine leaders for a long time, and Uncle Agung said: "Although the price you give is very generous, but only give us one-tenth of the money to take away all our tea, which is lower than the price of Luzhou Commercial Bank, if you run away with the tea directly, who will we find for our money?" ”

Yang Erdo also echoed: "Yes, you have always paid with one hand and delivered with the other, and you are just trying to deceive our tea if you engage in these famous halls." Don't worry about what you said before, the fox's tail will still be exposed in the end. ”

Li Shan shook his head, he really couldn't come up with such money, the entire Xiangyu tea in Luzhou was on the mountain behind Baimiao Village, the price of Xiangyu tea was already relatively high, and the reason why Luzhou Tea Shop was joined by many tea merchants was not long because they didn't have enough money? Otherwise, who wants to share it with others if there are benefits?

Li Shan's family wealth accumulated this year is really not enough, he has already sent a letter back to Jingzhou, collected the funds that can operate, and added the money raised from other tea merchants or mortgages or prepayments, a total of more than 10,000 taels, just the freight of tea, the expenses of workers, etc., are thousands of taels, and the rest is enough for one-tenth of the purchase price of tea.

But he knew that it was useless to tell them about these things, Li Shan took out a few land deeds and said: "This is the title deed of Jingzhou Invite Immortal Pavilion, Yuelai Restaurant and chess archway, how do these properties add up to a few thousand taels of silver, if you feel uneasy, I can only mortgage these first, if you are still not at ease, then I have nothing to do." ”

"This ......" Uncle Agung took these title deeds and looked at them carefully, although they were genuine, but they had not seen them with their own eyes, where did they know if these things were really as he said.

Li Shan looked at their hesitant looks, and said seriously: "In order to promote this cooperation, I spent a lot of effort to raise funds, obtained shipping permits from Luzhou Thorn Shi, and also prepared tea workers and merchant ships, and contacted buyers. Not only for my own benefit, but also to repay the Miao people for saving my life. If you give up this opportunity, I'm afraid you will have to cooperate with Luzhou Tea Shop. Trust me. ”

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, a Miao ran in from outside: "Patriarch, someone from Luzhou Tea Store is here." ”
