prepared a heavy gift, but this would be wrong, thinking that Chen Ping was asking for money.

"What do you mean by that? Is it to know the law and break the law? Chen Ping's voice was a little colder, the tea cup he picked up was placed on the table, the tea swayed a few times, a piece of tea stuck to the mouth of the cup, and he frowned and looked at Liu Zumao, "I let you in, but I didn't ask for money." It's just because the world is prejudiced against Shang Jia Duo, and this official pities you and waits, this is the last thing to see. ”

Seeing Chen Ping's seizure, Liu Zumao hurriedly got up and confessed: "Xiaomin knows his mistake. ”

"Yes." Chen Ping let out a breath from his nostrils and answered.

Liu Zumao raised his head and looked at Chen Ping carefully, and saw that Chen Ping's anger seemed to have disappeared a little, so he said again: "That fire sickle is the asset of your family ordered by the county, and I see that many people take goods from it and distribute it to other places, which is actually cumbersome." If the county orders you to leave it to me, it is really more convenient, and the price can also be negotiated. ”

Chen Ping suddenly realized in his heart that this Liu Zumao wanted to be the general distributor of the fire sickle, but he was smart. However, the amount of fire sickle is not large now, and Liu Zumao is here today, I am afraid there is another meaning.

and Chen Ping, the county order, has a relationship.

Otherwise, how could a businessman who deals in fabrics and porcelain look down on the small profit of the fire sickle?

"I don't want you to beat around the bush, the fire sickle is broken, it is a family property, if you need to negotiate, you don't have to be here." Chen Ping said, "Since it is in this county government, what this official is discussing with you is about the imperial court and Liuhe County. ”

Chen Ping's words made Liu Zumao strange, not collecting cash, it can be understood that Chen Ping's family is not lacking, or Fang is in office, and he wants to avoid people's eyes.

But how can this negotiation of the court be with him as a businessman?

Liu Zumao is a wealthy household in Jiangdu, and although his assets are not the first in Jiangdu, he can also be ranked famous. Jiangdu businessmen occasionally gather for banquets and drinks, and Liu Zumao is often invited. But even if you are rich, you are only rich, and you have nothing to do with you.

The officials who came and went made a lot of money, but they were still not valued, and when they met officials for a drink, they could only sit with them with the money.

There are also children in the family who go to school, but they can't understand poetry and books, and there is no way to become an official.

Yesterday in the Jun Shop, the guy from the store heard about Chen Ping, and saw Chen Ping and the five homeless people arguing, in a few words, he coerced the emotions of the onlookers, and instigated them to go to the county office. Coincidentally, the emperor sent a special envoy to announce Chen Ping as the Liuhe Order. Later, outside the county yamen, he witnessed Chen Ping arresting Xu Youmao and beating Li Shudong, in addition to the county identity of Xue Xiong and others.

Because he felt that the new young county order was different, Liu Zumao had the attitude of trying, and wanted to come to the county to meet him, even if he was rejected, there was not much loss, and then he thought about the way to the side.

But now not only did I see it, but I also said that I wanted to discuss the affairs of the imperial court.

"I don't know what you're talking about? Xiaomin's status as a city member, the affairs of the imperial court may be powerless. Just strange in his mind for a while, Liu Zumao had a bad guess.

The ditch is being dug in the north, and I heard that the ditch is also going to be excavated, and at this time it is to use the money, so this Chen County Order will not want him to pay the money, right?

Thinking of this, Liu Zumao couldn't help but regret a little, he really shouldn't have come in, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was so likely.

Liu Zumao was already thinking about how to give less money.

"Liuhe County produces salt." Chen Pingdao.

"Well, do you need money? I still have a hundred taels of silver on me, which can be donated to Liuhe County. Liu Zumao was busy.

Chen Ping frowned, looked at Liu Zumao for a long time, only to see that the other party's face was embarrassed and lowered his head.

"Two hundred taels, it really can't be more." Liu Zumao gritted his teeth, this trip was in vain, and he also lost the silver money, "I only took so much silver this time, I was going to buy the fire sickle." ”

This guy doesn't think he's forcing donations, right? Hearing Liu Zumao say this, Chen Ping knew it in his heart.

"I said that Liuhe County produces salt, I hope to sell it to you." In this county, Liu Zumao is not needed for sales, but if it is sold to other counties, it will be much more convenient to have Liu Zumao as the general distributor.

There is a salt well in Liuhe County, which Liu Zumao knows, but the salt taste of that well is bitter, and it is not easy to sell.

"I don't know how much the county order wants me to buy?" Liu Zumao asked cautiously.

This county order is really not simple, in order not to be realistic, Ju is thinking of using salt as an excuse, the amount is not large, just buy it.

"All that I've made people is enlarging the salt well." Chen Pingdao.

But these words scared Liu Zumao a lot, and he hurriedly said: "The county order is embarrassing for me, although I have assets in my family, but the silver money has long been invested to buy cloth and porcelain, how can I still take out the silver money to buy salt?" ”

At this time, Liu Zumao was already eager to slap himself twice. Chen Ping is not very old, but this heart is really vicious, this is knowing that he has a relationship with Xue Xiong, and he wants to take revenge for personal gain.

"Liuhe County salt is sold to you, and you can sell it to others." Chen Pingdao.

"But ......" Liu Zumao hesitated for a moment, and said entangledly, "Liuhe County is bitter and disgusted, how can this be sold?" In addition, my family was originally in the cloth and porcelain business, and I was not familiar with salt. ”

"Oh? Then why did you say that you wanted the fire sickle to be broken? The corners of Chen Ping's mouth raised an arc and asked, "Could it be that you are deceiving your own official?" ”

"Don't dare." Liu Zumao was busy and confessed again.

"Well salt is bitter, this official knows it, and he will never let you do that loss-making deal." Chen Ping said, "But that was in the past, and from now on, Liuhe County will also be able to produce non-bitter well salt." The reason why I chose you as the general distributor is because you have assets at home, supply channels, and the use of the original fabric store customers can complete the dumping of well salt without backlog in your hands. The second is that because of the coincidence, you just happened to come in. ”

Chen Ping glanced at Liu Zumao, who was suddenly quiet and deep in thought, and said lightly: "Of course, if you don't want to, it is inconvenient for the official to force it, so you can only find someone else." ”

"Yes, yes." When Liu Zumao heard that Chen Ping wanted to find someone else, he was busy and said, "It is inconvenient to find people from other places, the county commander is in office, there are still many things to deal with, time is precious, and it cannot be lost in vain." ”

"Didn't you say that the family only deals in cloth and porcelain?" Chen Ping picked up the tea and took a sip gently, the temperature was moderate, and the fragrance of the tea soaked into the water, "This well salt, can you be the master?" ”

"Cloth and porcelain must continue to be made, but nothing else can be missing." Liu Zumao said, "The county reassures you, as long as you sell me the well salt in Liuhe County, I will definitely be able to come up with the money." ”

"Well, you've been staying in the guest house for the past few days. In a few days, when the salt of the new well comes out, I will have people go to you. Chen Ping said, "As for the money, ......"

"It must be satisfying to the county." Liu Zumao was busy, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, first look at the salt, and then agree, this is also what Liu Zumao is looking forward to.

"Preferably so." Chen Ping said, "In Yangzhou, I think it's not just your businessman who is interested in well salt. (To be continued.) )
