Chapter 49: Scolded
Liu Yi didn't really stay up all night with Tian Feng and Xi Zhicai, yes, they are not tired and they are tired, what is there to talk about with two big men?
However, it was not in vain that Liu Yi's tongue turned his tongue, and the two of them were finally fooled by Liu Yi into getting on their own boat.
Drama is easy to do, Liu Yi knows that he is still a white body, in other words, he is a wanderer, with a little literary talent to cheat and cheat everywhere, he has no long things, even if Liu Yi didn't tell him these words, as long as he knows that following him is very promising, I believe he will stay to help him.
But Tian Feng is a little different, because he is still an official in the court, and he has a salary from the imperial court, so food and clothing are not a problem. The reason why Liu Yi wanted to beat him was just that according to some memories of later generations, he knew that Tian Feng was not used to seeing the traitors in the court, and the emperor trusted the traitors very much, so he slowly lost confidence in the court, so he resigned and returned to the countryside.
It was when Liu Yi saw this that he proposed to let Tian Feng resign from his official position in the court to do things for himself.
This mention of yì actually justified Tian Feng's heart, he had already had the intention of resigning, but at the moment, he was still a little unwilling, so he would reluctantly stay in the court. Now that he has obviously been persuaded by Liu Yi, since he has been persuaded by Liu Yi that he can do something that seems more meaningful after resigning, then there will be no more hesitation.
As for what recruits, Tian Feng also feels that what Liu Yi said is very reasonable, after all, the soldiers and horses that Liu Yi said are not used to rebel with bad intentions, but to defend the fruits of the development of himself and others. Moreover, Liu Yi also promised that he would be the highest administrative officer in the place where the development would be at that time, and he would be in charge of all affairs. In this way, it not only shows that Liu Yi has great trust in him, but also shows that Liu Yi is not the kind of traitor with bad intentions, and now looking at Liu Yi, it doesn't seem like that kind of ambitious person.
After Tian Feng resigned in the past few days, he went to the camp of the wounded soldiers of the righteous army outside the city to manage the barracks there. There will be no war yet, so Xi Zhicai, a military advisor, can only be a decoration, and Liu Yi plans to let him act as a bookkeeper in the mansion, and he will take care of his money first.
How to use the 200,000 silver taels, and Liu Yi is going to use the things in the encyclopedia to make some money by pounding something, and when the time comes, someone will have to manage the amount, and Xi Zhicai will do it for the time being.
……
Early the next morning, Liu Yi went out with a few brothers selected from several volunteers, the purpose of which was, of course, to go to the grain and rice shop where Zhang Jun ordered grain to pick up grain.
More than 500 people need more than 20,000 catties of rice and flour for more than a month's worth of grain. There were hundreds of bags, but fortunately, when Liu Yi asked Zhang Rang for 150,000 pieces of silver, he had a few carriages attached, and Liu Yi sent someone to the Sword Sect Martial Arts Hall to drive the carriages, and he and a few volunteers took the lead.
Liu Yi calculated that even if it was nine carriages together, it would take two or three times to be able to transport it, so there was no need to delay. Since Zhang Jun has already paid the money at once, he went to withdraw it early, so as not to have many dreams all night.
Besides, in a few days it will be the traditional New Year of the Huafu people, and many big families in the city have put up lights to prepare for the New Year, and the atmosphere seems to be a little festive. Liu Yi knew that since he had already taken over this errand from Zhang Jun, he had to do a good job if he wanted to do it, and besides, Liu Yi also regarded the hundreds of wounded soldiers in the wounded barracks as his future soldiers. In this way, it is natural to do something to let them see, to let them know who is the one who really helps them, so that they can understand who they should follow, and also let them understand that there will be a way out by following them, so that when the time comes to recruit them, there will be people who are unwilling.
The room where Zhang Jun ordered grain was called the Zou Family Grain and Rice Trading House.
The location of the shop is located on Donglin Street in the eastern district of the city, this Donglin Street, almost all of them are mainly shops selling rice and flour food, and the scale of the shops of the Zou family grain and rice business bank is also one of the largest grain stores on this street. ,
As soon as Leo Yi entered the street, he could smell the fragrance of rice noodles.
The Zou family grain and rice firm is easy to find, Liu Yi can see the Zou family grain and rice firm from afar, and found that the shop is almost the size of a basketball court in later generations, which is full of bags of grain packed with cloth bags, and there are baskets at the door, which are filled with white rice noodles, these are the models for guests to see the goods.
There are a few Xiao Si busy in the store, there are already several customers selling rice noodles, and a strong man is busy measuring the amount of rice noodles for customers. There is a counter on the side of the store, and inside the counter is a middle-aged palmer, who is crackling and tapping on the abacus to settle the bill for a customer.
It can be seen that the business of this commercial house is not bad.
Liu Yi walked directly to the counter, knocked on the countertop with his hand, and said, "May I ask if you are the boss of the Zou family's grain and rice firm?" ”
"No, I'm just the shopkeeper." The shopkeeper didn't raise his head, he was busy with the abacus in his hand, and shouted loudly: "There are guests coming, you come here to say hello and take the guests to see our rice noodles." ”
"Oh...... Here it comes. Xiao Si inside immediately ran over, walked to Liu Yi's side in three or two steps, nodded with a smile and said respectfully: "Guest officer, please come here with me, do you want to buy rice or noodles?" We have other cereals in our store, the variety is quite complete, and the supply is sufficient. ”
Although the shopkeeper did not raise his head, there was no slightest hint of snubbing the guests in his tone, and this Xiao Si who ran over actually made Liu Yi feel that the attitude of the trained waiters in later generations was almost the same, this grain and rice trading house can be built on such a large scale in Luoyang Capital, and the boss of this commercial house is really not simple.
"No, no, we're not here to buy food." Liu Yi shook his head at Na Xiao Si with a smile, signaling that he didn't need to look at the sample of grain and rice.
"Oh? You—You're here to find our boss? The middle-aged shopkeeper had just finished counting, and grabbed a handful of copper coins and gave them to the guest, before he looked up at Liu Yi.
However, when he looked up at Liu Yi, his face originally had the kind of respectful look on his face when he was facing the guests, but after he saw Liu Yi clearly, his face changed suddenly, as if he had seen a nasty black fly, and waved his hand with an impatient look: "Go and go, I really don't have time to entangle with you boys, get away from me." ”
"Huh?" Leo Yi is a little inexplicable, he doesn't seem to have offended him, right? And everyone has never met at all, why did he show such a nasty look when he saw him? I couldn't help but wonder: "Shopkeeper, why are you like this?" How can I say that I am also a customer, is there a waiter like you? Do you want me to get out? ”
"Whew!" The middle-aged shopkeeper stood up angrily all of a sudden, and snorted: "Don't you want to be sloppy in front of my old Guo, I have seen a lot of sons and daughters like you, embroidered pillows, tell you the truth, hurry up and get out of me, you will never know about our boss lady from my mouth." Hum! Seeing that your yellow hair is not dry, you still dare to come to fight our boss's idea? Get lost! ”
"Huh? What the hell! Liu Yi was scolded by others, but he didn't know why, the son-in-law who listened to him scolded, even scolded the embroidered pillow, and said that he beat his boss's wife's idea? Belch...... Where is this?
So, Liu Yi was angry, and the small universe was about to explode...... Ya, you can't be scolded for no reason, can you?
