After learning the truth of the matter, Tang Xiu, who had already gotten out of the carriage and was discussing with Li Siwen whether to stay at the inn in the city first to avoid this kind of crowding in front of him, couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, and looked at Li Siwen.

It's for watermelon again?

So many people gathered here at the East City Gate, squeezing and scolding, and even ignoring the warnings of the city guard officers, just to go out of the city to buy watermelons?

Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?

How did Uncle Stone do it, selling a watermelon can make such a big move?

Business is good, of course Tang Xiu is happy, but he just made such a big scene, wouldn't it be too outrageous?

There are so many people, all of them are crazy, Tang Xiu is really worried that Tang Panshi alone will not be able to suppress it, if these crazy melon buyers are not satisfied, their minds are hot, or they are slightly moved by some people with a heart, and they all rush to the melon fields outside the city to loot and loot, it will be a bit more than worth the loss.

The law does not blame the public, and robbery incidents like this are almost unsolvable problems no matter what era they are placed in, and in the end, only the Tang Mansion is unlucky.

"Wait here first, I'll go out and have a look!"

Anxious to understand the current situation in the mansion, Tang Xiu turned around and explained to Pei Cai'er, and then his body shook and squeezed into the crowd in front of him.

"You two stay here and take care of it, and I'll go over and take a look, just in case."

Li Siwen was a little uneasy, turned around and ordered the two subordinates behind him, threw the reins in his hand to one of them, and then quickly followed Tang Xiu's figure.

Although the crowd was crowded, it was difficult for martial artists like Tang Xiu and Li Siwen to break into the crowd, the two of them were like fish swimming in the water, easily shuttling freely in the crowd, and two breaths squeezed out of the city gate.

Although the outside of the city is open, but the people gathered in the outer city are not less than in the city, everyone is gathered in one place, and those in the city are different from those who shout at each other, these people outside the city are quite regular, although crowded, but no one dares to directly force the Tang family's melon cart, not even a person who speaks loudly.

"Brother Siwen, am I dazzled?" Tang Xiu couldn't believe what he was seeing in front of him, and raised his voice to ask Li Siwen, who was following behind, "Why do I seem to see a large group of city defense troops surrounding that carriage transporting melons?" It can't be that I'm wrong, right? ”

When did the Tang family have such a great ability, just selling a watermelon, and there would be such a large team of city defense troops to follow the guards, would this be a little too pompous and arrogant?

"It's really someone from the city defense army." Seeing the outfits of those soldiers, Li Siwen nodded lightly and said, "But fortunately, there are these city defense troops, otherwise ordinary people really can't cope with such a scene." ”

Thousands of people waited here, but the Tang Mansion only transported one or two hundred watermelons, even if it was one person, there was a gap of nearly eighty percent that could not be satisfied, if there was no deterrence of the city defense army, the people and carriages of the Tang family might not have been lifted on the spot.

Li Siwen was originally a little surprised, Tang Xiu was just a penniless little loser in Taiyuan, how could he have such a big face to alarm the city defense army. However, when he thought that Taiyuan seemed to be Cheng Chuliang's territory, Li Siwen was quickly relieved, according to the relationship between Tang Xiu and the Cheng family, Cheng Chuliang seemed to have a reason to do so.

Moreover, Cheng Chuliang himself is a lieutenant of the horse, and there is a Lu Guogong standing behind him, even if he uses his public weapons for private use, no one dares to say anything. Moreover, if Cheng Chuliang can be smarter and find a more plausible reason or excuse for everything he has done in advance, it is estimated that even if the emperor knows about it, he will only laugh it off at most, and he will not really care about anything.

The people of the Cheng family, as long as they do not rebel or rebel, no matter what excessive actions they make, they will be forgiven. Of course, this is also limited to the fact that Cheng Yanjin is still alive, if Cheng Yanjin is no longer alive one day, the situation will definitely be different. However, if it really comes to that time, it is estimated that Cheng Chuliang's style of acting will be much more restrained than now.

Tang Xiu didn't think about it so much, but the moment he saw the city defense army, he also knew that this matter was inseparable from the people of the Cheng family, and this favor was a big deal.

Favor debts are the most difficult to repay.

Tang Xiu couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart, he had known that he would have come back a few days earlier, if he was in the mansion, there was a way to sell the watermelons safely, even if there was really no way, even if the watermelons were all rotten in the ground, he didn't want to owe the Cheng family this favor.

Just when Tang Xiu was about to squeeze to the melon stall to understand the specific situation, he suddenly saw the old housekeeper Tang Panshi climb into the carriage and said loudly to the crowd below: "Today's melons have been sold out, everyone is scattered, and the guests who haven't bought watermelons don't have to worry, tomorrow is still this hour, the old man will bring the melons over on time, everyone is now all scattered!" ”

"No need!" Tang Xiu suddenly stood in the crowd and said loudly: "In the future, the watermelons in the Tang Mansion will no longer be sold regularly, and they will not be sold only in one location at this east city gate, so you don't have to come here again tomorrow!" ”

"Just kidding, who's it, such a big breath?!"

"I really don't know how thick the sky is, don't you see that there is a city defense army in the Tang Mansion, such nonsense, beware of being guarded by the city defense army......"

Tang Xiu's voice was together, and everyone looked at Tang Xiu, and many people who couldn't buy watermelons were resentful and even scolded out loud.

"Hey, isn't this the Tang family's loser?"

"It's Tang Xiu, Tang is a big loser......"

"It's really Tang Da who is back from the loser......"

Facts have proved that Tang Xiu is still very well-known in Taiyuan City, and someone soon recognized him, but everyone who called his name couldn't help but add a sentence of 'Tang Da Loser' at the end, and Li Siwen unconsciously took two steps back, leaving a distance from Tang Xiu, pretending that I didn't know this guy.

"Young Master! You're back, young master?! ”

Tang Panshi happily jumped down from the carriage, excitedly squeezed through the crowd and came to Tang Xiu, and respectfully bent down to greet Tang Xiu.

Tang Xiu nodded with a smile and said lightly: "I just arrived here, but I didn't expect to encounter such a scene, Uncle Shi, I've worked hard for you this time." ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard," Tang Panshi hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, and said with a happy face: "The old slave is not afraid of hard work, but he is afraid that he will still be idle all day long like before." Young master, you don't know, the 100 acres of melon fields in our house are growing surprisingly well, and the watermelons have begun to ripen five days ago, but the young master has not come back, and the old slave is worried that the watermelons will rot in the ground again, so he took it upon himself to pull it out and try to sell it, but he didn't expect it to ......"

Originally, Tang Panshi just wanted to pull it out and sell some to try the taste of the city residents, but he didn't expect that from the first day, the watermelon business in the Tang Mansion was out of control, and it was so hot that it was crazy, and even Tang Panshi, a big housekeeper who had seen a lot of the world, would feel a little panicked and uneasy.

If it weren't for Cheng Chuliang's initiative to lend a helping hand, he sent troops to suppress and deter a group, and also pulled out a team of people to train near the melon field, otherwise, the watermelon business of the Tang Mansion would not have brought the Tang Mansion a lovely wealth but an endless disaster.

"We'll talk about that when we get back." Tang Xiu interrupted Tang Panshi's words, turned his head to look around at the crowd that had not yet dispersed, and said softly to Tang Panshi: "The most important thing now is to solve the problem in front of you first. ”

Tang Panshi was stunned for a moment, remembering what Young Master Fang Cai said about no longer selling watermelons from time to time, so he stopped his words and asked Tang Xiu softly, "I don't know what Young Master means......?" ”

"Disperse, retail, set up four to ten fixed sales points in Taiyuan City, open for business from time to time every day, and divert the crowd of people who buy melons, otherwise so many people get together every day, and sooner or later it will cause big trouble."

With so many people crowded in one place, once a stampede occurs and people are killed, it will inevitably have some ** impact on the prestige of the Tang family. Although Tang Xiu didn't care much about his reputation, he couldn't care less about the reputation of their Tang Clan, which was related to the fundamental issue of whether their Tang Clan could gain a long-term foothold in Taiyuan, and it could not be ignored.

"Also," Tang Xiu continued, "Openly recruiting a few allies, let's just say that our Tang Mansion is willing to take out the method of growing watermelons and share them with our allies, provided that these allies can show enough sincerity." ”
