After the sheep were sold out, Huang Xiu came to Li Guo again, "Master, the sheep are gone, are those walking and guards who drive the sheep let go or not?" ”

"They are well-behaved, don't let go! You sue sù Ti Chun, take them in, and let Ti Chun arrange them. Li Guo commanded.

"And what about the head of the guard and a treasurer? Do you also collect troops? Huang Xiu then asked.

"Shopkeeper?" Li Guo was stunned: "Why didn't you sue me earlier?" Where are the others? Bring it on! ”

"Why didn't I tell you, you were absent-minded that day." Huang Xiu muttered and ordered someone to bring Qian Duoduo.

Qian Duoduo was depressed at the moment, at first, he thought that these people wearing Ming army clothes would not dare to do anything to him, but slowly, Qian Duoduo understood that these people were not the Ming army, but the bandits of the peasant army. Qian Duoduo thought to himself, it doesn't matter, the Eight Families of Shanxi also colluded with some famous peasant armies, and some of the war horses and materials of the Peasant Army were also bought from the businessmen of the Eight Families of Shanxi, and they couldn't help but give face!

But more than ten days have passed, no one cares about the money, but no one is embarrassed for him, the food is also good, cook mutton! Qian Duoduo thought to himself, this is the fucking sheep he drove back! Forget it, don't be angry, just hope that there will be fewer losses.

On this day, Qian Duoduo was waiting, and a soldier took him out.

"What for?" Qian Duoduo asked.

"Our little general wants to see you!" The soldier replied.

Qian Duoduo put his mind at ease, this is knowing his identity, and it seems that he will be free soon.

Qian Duoduo was taken to an ordinary military tent, there were two people in the military tent, one was slender and had a female face, it was Huang Xiu who grabbed Qian Duoduo, and Qian Duoduo recognized it. The other man was tall, but he was not very old, in his twenties.

"The shopkeeper of the Fan family of the eight families in Shanxi has a lot of money to meet the general." Qian Duo has been in the mall for a long time, has seen a lot of knowledge, and is exquisite, and he can see at a glance that this young man is in charge.

"Money shopkeeper, how offensive, I'm Li Guo, please call me by my name, or call me to make up for it!" Li Guo is very polite, Qian Duoduo is forty or fifty years old, and he is much older than Li Guo.

"Oh, it turned out to be General Li, General Li is a young hero, he is really a dragon and a phoenix among people, amazing!" Qian Duoduo is used to dealing with people, and he will flatter.

"The money shopkeeper has praised me, come, please take a seat!" Li Guo gave Qian Duoduo to his seat.

Qian Duoduo has a little more confidence in his heart, and the name of the eight families in Shanxi is really loud.

"General Xie gives me a seat." Qian Duoduo waved his hand to let Li Guo pass, and when Li Guo sat down, Qian Duoduo opened his mouth again, "General Li, you must also know the name of our Fan family in Shanxi." ”

Li Guo smiled noncommittally.

"The Fan family is the leader of the Eight Great Families, and many people in your peasant rebel army have contacts, just like your big leader Wang Jiayin is also our friend, and they help each other in some things." Qian Duoduo raised Wang Jiayin's name.

Li Guo nodded.

"General Li is not a person who has been under the people for a long time, and he will definitely be able to achieve a career in the future, so in the future, we will be closer and closer, and the eight families of Shanxi led by the Fan family will definitely help General Li." Qian Duoduo is a friendship.

Li Guo still didn't squeak.

"This time our sheep were robbed by General Li's soldiers, and I thought to myself that this must be a misunderstanding. Therefore, Qian begged General Li to release our people and return our sheep, so that everyone can live together in harmony in the future, which is not a bad way to make money. Qian Duoduo saw that Li Guo was silent, and he was more confident, and began to ask for sheep.

"The sheep are gone." Li Guo replied calmly.

"What!" Qian Duoduo was anxious, stood up from the chair, and then asked Li Guo, "Where are the sheep?" ”

"Sold!" Li Guo thought to himself, how could there be sheep at this time.

"How much silver was sold?" Qian Duoduo was anxious, so he wanted to get some money back. In fact, Qian Duoduo is not so reckless, but this time it is the last time to be the shopkeeper for the Fan family, in case the goods are a little lost, what should he do.

"More than 20,000 silver." Li Guo looked at Huang Xiu.

Huang Xiu nodded proudly: "Twenty-one thousand three hundred and twenty-two." ”

"Idiot!" Qian Duoduo couldn't help it anymore and scolded.

Although the silver at the end of the Ming Dynasty was real, the price of mutton was extremely high. There is no other reason, there is not much mutton in the Guannai, and the taste is delicious. The mutton outside the gate is delicate, fat and thin, and delicious, and it has been loved by the rich. But the sheep are sold outside the border and the road is long. Only the eight families in Shanxi Province are responsible for this kind of trade, and the rest of the merchants can't do this business, because the roads are not smooth, and if they can't do it well, even the people and livestock are all finished. No, Qian Duoduo was originally a member of the Eight Great Families in Shanxi, wasn't he also robbed by Li, not to mention others!

Therefore, when mutton enters the customs, the price naturally rises in a straight line. In Taiyuan and other places, a good mouth sheep can even be sold for ten taels of silver, if it goes to Beijing, if it goes to Jiangnan, the price is much higher. At that time, some people ridiculed that the cheapest people in the world are people, and they can't be worth a sheep. Such a price is unaffordable for ordinary people, but for those high-ranking officials and nobles, it is not a problem.

"You fools, a sheep will buy ten taels of silver." Qian Duoduo continued to scold, he is a very good businessman, and he is most unaccustomed to losing money. According to the usual situation, Qian Duoduo would never lose his temper in this situation, but this is the last business of the Fan family, which is related to Qian Duoduo's reputation. If there is an accident for the last time, the owner suffers losses, no matter what variables happen, it will also damage Qian Duoduo's reputation, which is a big deal, and Qian Duoduo can't help but be angry.

What's more, Qian Duoduo is a member of the Fan family of the Eight Great Families in Shanxi, and it is estimated that this small leader of the peasant army named Li Guo does not dare to do anything to himself, otherwise why would Li Guo have been silent.

"Forget it, return the 20,000 taels of silver to me!" Qian Duoduo estimated that Li Guo was overwhelmed by his momentum, and it was better to ask for the money back first than to have nothing and go back empty-handed.

Li Guo's eyes lit up suddenly: "Are you saying that you can earn more than 80,000 taels of silver this time?" ”

Qian Duoduo immediately closed his mouth, in fact, outside the customs, many businesses are bartered, such as black tea, daily necessities, etc., which can be exchanged for good things outside the customs. The principal of 20,000 taels of silver mentioned by Qian Duoduo is actually less than the cost of 20,000 taels of silver according to the value of barter.

Li Guo thought to himself, this is a good deal, he has always been worried about the lack of money, and now it seems that he has eyebrows. Li Guo needs money, and he urgently needs money, because money is needed to develop strength and train soldiers!

Li Guo smiled at Qian Duoduo, this guy understands business, I want it.

Qian Duoduo's scalp was numb by Li Guo's sinister smile, no matter how he looked at this young leader of the peasant army, he looked like an old fox. No, don't want the principal? Escape from danger first? Qian Duoduo secretly decided.

"I still beg the little general to return the money from the sale of sheep to Zaixia, so that I can give an explanation to the owner when I go back, and the little general and my owner will get along well in the future." Qian Duoduo stared at Li Guo.

Li Guo shook his head.

Qian Duoduo saw that the opportunity was not good, so he said, "Since the little general is short of money, it is good, then I will make my own decision and not sell the money for sheep." However, after bothering the little general for a few days, he left in the next place. I'll take my people back now, little general, we'll have a date later. Qian Duoduo resigned to Li Guo.

Li Guo shook his head again.

"What..." Qian Duoduo was speechless for a while, what is this Li Guo going to do?

"They can't leave." Li Guo said slowly, "Not only them, but you also have to stay!" ”

"I'll stay?" Qian Duoduo asked in surprise, "I don't know anything, I'm forty-nine years old this year, my body is weak, and I can't fight, so it's useless to leave me." "Money is in a hurry.

"You're useful." Li Guo looked at Qian Duoduo with a smile: "You will make money!" ”
