Ten taels of silver, not much, but definitely a lot, in this Tang Dynasty, ten taels of silver, can buy a poor man's life.

Ge Shou hurriedly laughed and begged in a low voice: "Don't be joking, the second boss is really not joking, business has really been bad recently, and when you have money, you will pay this year's protection fee as soon as you have it." ”

"Old man, I'm holding my breath today! Leave the words here now, give the money, our brother will leave, if you don't give it, we will take that girl away now! As he spoke, Peng Zhi turned around, stared at Qing Niang, and smiled.

Song Kai secretly looked at Xue Weihai over there.

Xue Weihai was still sitting on the stool and did not get up, Zhou Ce stood beside him, and the other two people in Tsing Yi stood in front closely.

Xue Weihai glanced at Zhou Ce, Zhou Ce shook his head at Xue Weihai, Xue Weihai just nodded lightly, and did not speak again.

Song Kai understood, it seemed that Zhou Ce was also not sure to deal with these five bandits of the Taihu Gang, so he shook his head and did not let Xue Weihai speak.

The young lady stepped back.

Song Kai thought for a while, took a step forward, arched his hand, and said, "Ge Ye, you see that you just need money, but I want your batch of tea, why don't you sell it to me, I can pay ten taels of silver first." ”

As soon as Song Kai spoke, Ge Shou and Peng Zhi were stunned.

Ge Shou nodded hurriedly.

Peng Zhi looked Song Kai up and down with cold eyes, and pointed his finger at Song Kai, "Boy, if you take this stubble, you have to be careful when walking at night in the future." ”

Song Kai just laughed, "Song is just a businessman, Master Peng, you are laughing." Old Xue, help me pay some money first, and I'll give it to you when I get back to the inn. ”

Xue Weihai just smiled and beckoned to one of the Tsing Yi guards.

The man in Tsing Yi took out two gold ingots from his arms and walked to Peng Zhi's side, "Give!" ”

Peng Zhi's face was cold, and when his right hand was receiving the gold ingot, his palm flipped violently, and he was about to remove the arm of the Tsing Yi guard.

The Tsing Yi guard also had some kung fu, his arms shrank quickly, and at the same time, his legs were separated, he could attack and retreat, and he said coldly: "What are you doing!" ”

Peng Zhi was stunned, he didn't expect the man in Tsing Yi in front of him to be able to avoid his grappler, and he didn't dare to be careless for a while.

Behind him, Zhou Ce spoke: "Zheng Jun, come back." ”

The Tsing Yi guard snorted and stepped back.

Peng Zhi's eyes swept over Zhou Ce and Xue Weihai again, snorted, put the gold ingot into his arms, waved his hand, and left.

Qing Niang was frightened and hid behind Song Kai, far away from a few people.

Peng Zhi shook his short body, and when he walked past Qingniang's side, he couldn't help but glance at Qingniang again, and he was unwilling to leave.

Song Kai stretched out his hand and touched his chin, this group of people is not easy to mess with.

After a fright, Ge Shou became more and more respectful to Song Kai and Xue Weihai, and invited a few people to the house again.

Xue Weihai took a sip of tea and said, "Captain Zhou, what is the origin of that person?" ”

Zhou Ce has not fully recovered his blood, he arched his hand and said: "That person's name is Peng Zhi, he is the second leader of the Taihu Gang, although he is five short figures, but a set of ground lying boxing has some skills, he combines the grappling hand with the ground lying boxing, plus he is short and short, and the use of ground lying boxing is very advantageous, and he really has a bit of prestige in the green forest of Suzhou, and he should not be careless." ”

"Oh?" Xue Weihai understood that since he was the person who was praised by Zhou Ce, he must have some real kung fu under his hands.

Zhou Ce thought for a while and said, "This Taihu Gang has been a gang for a long time, and it has never had much notoriety, why is it acting so domineering today?" ”

Ge Shou on the side sighed and said: "The Taihu Gang used to be quite fair, when the old gang leader was alive, there were still places like the surrounding fishermen and tea plantations, although they also had to pay protection fees, but the surrounding bandits did not dare to harass, in this way, although the protection fees were quite a lot, they could afford to pay them." But since the death of the old gang leader last year, the new gang leader succeeded to the throne, the protection fee has been raised by two percent, but it is not much use, this year's spring came, my mountain garden was robbed by the bandits twice, hey, paid the protection fee, still have to suffer from the bandits, although the government has been suppressing bandits, but the bandits who have fallen here are small gangs, and the government is not worth sending troops. It's made my business harder and harder. ”

The young lady on the side gave Song a glass of water and whispered: "It's all because the young lady is careless, the silkworm baby is sick and dies too much, and the silk production is small this year, so I didn't make any money." ”

Ge Shou waved his hand.

After hearing this, Xue Weihai frowned and didn't say anything.

Song Kai arched his hand and said: "Old Ge, I looked at the tea garden just now, the quality of the tea is not bad, but the management in some places is not in place, if the planting is properly managed, the income of the tea garden should be good." When I came today, I originally planned to buy some tea leaves and make them myself, but now I have the heart to buy this tea garden, and I don't know if Ge Lao is willing to cut his love. ”

"Lang Jun has thought clearly?" Ge Shou was stunned for a moment, and then asked rhetorically.

"Naturally, I thought it through," Song Kai smiled, "but please ask Ge Lao to offer a fair price." ”

Ge Shou shook his head, "I bought this manor from the government for forty taels of gold at that time, and the tea garden area accounted for one-half of the entire manor, so it should be bid twenty taels, but, to be honest, Song Lang, the income of this tea garden is much worse than that of the mulberry garden." ”

Song Kai was relieved when he heard Ge Shou say this, he was originally worried that this manor was too expensive and he couldn't afford it, after all, the tea garden was very big, and it was still a permanent right to use, but now he heard Ge Shou say that it would take less than twenty taels, and Song Kai had confidence.

Twenty taels of gold is naturally a lot, but Song Kai can still get it, and he sold a few supreme cards some time ago, and there are still some gold reserves in the inn.

"Ge Lao, just make a bid, I believe in you," Song Kai laughed.

Ge Shou glanced at Xue Weihai, but Xue Weihai just smiled and didn't speak.

"If Song Lang wants, twenty taels of gold can be bought, although the income is low, but when I buy it, the old man, there are not so many tea trees in the tea garden. However, the old man has one condition, after Song Lang buys the tea garden, he still needs to invite these people to work in the tea garden, and the salary cannot be lower than the usual salary every month. Ge Shou said his conditions.

"Deal!" Song Kai clapped his hands, "I'll bring money tomorrow." ”

Ge Shou was a little embarrassed when he saw Song Kai so refreshing.

After talking and discussing some details, Song Kai left with Xue Weihai and Zhou Ce, and agreed to come over tomorrow, pay money to buy land, and come to get tea by the way.

Soon, Xue Weihai and Song Kai got on the canopy boat again and left from the waterway with a rock.

On the boat, Xue Weihai laughed and said to Song Kai: "Song Kai, your style doesn't look like a businessman. ”

"Why?" Song Kai looked at the beautiful scenery around him and asked casually.

"You bought this manor, I'm afraid it's just to alleviate Ge Lao's urgent need, but to be a businessman, you need a wolf's heart and a heart like a rock," Xue Weihai mocked Song Kai's identity.

Song Kai naturally didn't care, the status of businessmen in the Tang Dynasty was not high, and later, many people saw businessmen making money, but in order to keep face, they all secretly did business, and on the surface, they never told others that they were doing business.

Zhou Ce on the side leaned on the canopy and said: "It's not easy to buy a tea garden here, Ge Lao is also kind-hearted, and he took in so many landless people and let them have a way to make a living, but unfortunately, they can't hold on after all." ”

Song Kai waved his hand and said: "So, doing good deeds also requires brains, I bought this manor, not only so that those people can continue to live, but more importantly, this tea garden can really make money in my hands." Only when the tea plantation is prosperous, the life of the people employed in it will naturally be better. ”

Zhou Ce just laughed, but Xue Weihai nodded thoughtfully, although what Song Kai said was an obvious truth, but when he really thought about it, he found that there were many mysteries in it.

"Song Kai, how are you going to run that tea plantation?" Xue Weihai asked casually.

"I haven't thought about it yet, but it's nothing more than increasing tea production, increasing tea prices, and increasing tea sales," Song Kai replied casually.

In the tea garden, Ge Shou still couldn't react, in fact, he knew in his heart that the tea garden had been losing money, not that the tea was not profitable, but that the tea selling price was too low, and there were many families in the tea garden, plus they needed to pay protection fees, and they were robbed by poor thieves from time to time, and they were generally loss-making.

was worried and didn't know what to do, but he didn't expect Song Kai to readily agree to buy it.

Qingniang cleaned up the teapot and water cup in the house, and after a while, she whispered: "Grandpa Ge, Song Langjun, is he a good person?" ”

"Uh...... Sort of," Ge Shou smiled bitterly.

"Qing Niang thinks he is a good person, but his behavior is too light," Qing Niang said in a low voice.

Ge Shou nodded, "The person who can make Xue Gong praise is naturally good, although the behavior is frivolous and the etiquette is worse, but his heart is bright and upright, his words and deeds are consistent, or, he can be rated as a good person." ”

Qingniang smiled shyly, quickly went out of the house, and went to find Uncle Wang with a crooked face, she still remembered Song Kai's words, saying that the zombie silkworm could be sold for money, and it could also cure Uncle Wang's crooked mouth......

Two hours later, Song Kai and Xue Weihai went ashore, Song Kai arched his hand and said, "Old Xue, it's getting late, why don't you go to the inn for a drink." ”

Xue Weihai shook his head, "I'm not going, there is a slamming and fierce shopkeeper in your inn." ”

Song Kai laughed, "I can't talk about it, but people are really greedy for money, otherwise I wouldn't worry about letting her be the shopkeeper." I must have a treat for dinner, and after dinner, I will ask Brother Zhou for guidance on martial arts. ”

"Forget it at night, if you really want to learn, brother, I'll call you in the store tomorrow, train with my subordinates, and I'll teach you the knife technique alone when I'm free," Zhou Ce said.

"Okay, it's decided!" Song Kai nodded.

"Okay, let's separate," Zhou Ce waved his hand and left with Xue Weihai.

Song Kai grinned, he was about to become a martial arts master, he was excited to think about it, and when he became a first-class master, he would go single-handedly and explore the rivers and lakes, and by the way, he would go to Shaolin, Wudang, and the ancient tombs of Zhongnanshan to see, if he could find any martial arts secrets, wouldn't it be perfect, haha......
