The two exchanged a few words, and Liu Yuan pretended to casually point to the box where Zhao Zhutou was placed on the ground and said, "Zhao Zhutou, what is in this box?" ”

"Oh, it's all some materials or something, a lot, honestly, there's a lot of them I don't know what they are."

"This, is it convenient to take a look?" Liu Yuan asked with a smile.

"It's okay, anyway, all the good ones have been put into storage, these are worthless gadgets."

Liu Yuan took a look at the box, and sure enough, there was no precious materials such as jadeite, jade, and cat's eye, and the rest of the box was all turquoise, tiger's eye, white crystal and other ingredients for embellishment, although it was not valuable, but there were a lot of them, and many of them were divided into small pieces and polished beautifully.

It's worthless, Liu Yuan believes, but as for the storage, looking at Zhao Zhutou's "overzealous" appearance, this is worth scrutinizing, like what they registered in the warehouse, they only remember the quantity, for example, a hundred pieces of jewelry, he can use the cheap to exchange the valuable, those gems or something, use the small ones to exchange the big ones, the good ones are recorded as bad, and the bad ones are directly recorded as garbage.

These are the unspoken rules of officialdom, there is no benefit, who wants to have a cold window for ten years.

"Zhao Zhutou, these things are not worth a lot of money, and it doesn't hurt to put them away, by the way, I see that your subordinates have copied all those tools and everything, and it will be useless for you to take them, otherwise sell them to me."

"Will you take it? That's for the best. Zhao Zhutou said happily: "I'm worried about how to deal with it, Shopkeeper Liu is his own person, it's better for you to collect it, if you don't want it, I will also throw it to the pawnshop for silver flowers." ”

Liu Yuan asked in a low voice: "This, do you want to inform Lord Thorn Shi?" ”

"No, these trivial things are actually the brothers' running money, and Lord Assassin Shi will not ask about it."

"Didn't you say that you didn't have any money?" Liu Yuan asked in surprise.

Zhao Zhutou smiled, patted Liu Yuan's shoulder and said: "Shopkeeper Liu, you don't know what to do, it is to copy the family property, that is, to copy some valuable and valuable things, you are not the treasury to collect those broken copper and iron, like these worthless needles and threads, those officials are too lazy to ask for it." ”

After speaking, seeing that there was no one around, Zhao Zhutou lowered his voice and said: "Copy those jewelry and materials that have been put into storage, Lord Thorn Shi asked me to mention it to you, it is best to raise silver taels, you understand, these things are not convenient to put into storage, and it is difficult to spend money, Lord and Sima mean to sell them first, and then put them into storage." ”

What the? Doing business with officials?

Liu Yuan's eyes lit up, Zhao Zhutou's mysterious appearance, obviously, these are dark box operations, like officials, they will be fined a lot of property every year, and some things are not easy to preserve, such as confiscating a load of peaches, seeing someone slaughtering cattle privately, confiscating beef, these can't be put into storage, and they won't be rotten and smelly when they are stored, so those businessmen who are familiar with the government will be blessed, and they will usually have the opportunity to get it cheaply, and the interests of both parties will be touched.

In his previous life, Liu Yuan followed his boss to participate in the auction of a bank, mainly to auction some commercial houses that were not loaned when due, and let the bank take them back and then auction them, good guys, this is a secret auction, the people inside are not relatives of high-ranking officials, or senior customers of the bank, the real estate worth six or seven hundred thousand yuan outside, the starting price inside is only 100,000, and the transaction price is only half of the value. It's all games that only the powerful can participate in.

Now that I have this opportunity, I can further pull in the relationship between Lord Thorn Shi, and I can also make a lot of profits from it.

No wonder Cui Tingshi is so good to himself, where to give himself such a great convenience, it turns out that he has thought of finding himself to "cash out" early on.

"Understand, understand, Zhao Zhutou is really righteous" Liu Yuan patted his chest and said: "After the matter is completed, there is a filial piety to send, by the way, when is it convenient?" ”

Seeing Liu Yuan on the road like this, Zhao Zhutou laughed a few times, put the ingredients and tools used to make jewelry in his hands in front of Liu Yuan, and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Then he lowered his voice and said, "Preferably tonight." ”

"Alright, alright, just tonight." After Liu Yuan finished speaking, he looked at the box full of ingredients on the ground, and seized the opportunity to say: "Zhao Zhutou, such ingredients, and those tools, you see"

"I don't know how much this one is worth, you name it."

"The tool is so old that it's not worth much." Liu Yuan flipped through the boxes of ingredients and said, "These are still worth seventy or eighty taels of silver." ”

Zhao Zhutou raised his eyebrows, as if his pupils had contracted, and asked excitedly: "This, is it worth so much?" ”

Like them, who pick up some leftovers, can get ten taels or eight cents, and then change some wine to drink, it's already good, and now I hear Liu Yuan say that it's worth dozens of taels, can you not be happy? Those ingredients are treasures in Liu Yuan's eyes, but in Zhao Zhutou's eyes, these things can't even compare to copper plates, which is simply an unexpected joy.

Seeing Zhao Zhutou's excited look, Liu Yuan immediately regretted it in his heart, about one hundred and fifty or sixty taels worth something, he said seventy or eighty taels is still too much, the Tao is not enough, the heart is not black enough, those "vampires" in the pawnshop, it is estimated that it is more than twenty or thirty taels, like these ingredients, although it is not gold, silver, jade, some are still rare, for example, there is a box of tiger's eyes, which is up to the standard of A+ level, the materials are good to say, those ingredients that are divided and polished, and the labor hours are counted as money. Ken Shao is also worth a hundred and dozens of taels.

Just like the tiger's eye, a familiar person, it is estimated that it will take a week to polish one.

Thinking about it, Liu Yuan still said with a righteous face: "Others can't estimate this price, but Zhao Zhutou is his own person, and this price can't be lowered." ”

I didn't say it, I said it, how much I earned back a favor, Liu Daguan is not so stupid.

Zhao Zhutou gratefully patted Liu Yuan's shoulder and said: "Okay, it's interesting, you don't need to be as much as seventy or eighty taels, what the brother says you have to earn a little bit about, so let's do it, I'm in charge, it's sixty taels, the elder brother knows that you don't earn much this time, but I, you're rich, and today is a fat difference, and the brothers come a lot, a little more, and make them happy." ”

Like the things that have oil and water such as copying the house, the officials are naturally fighting bravely one by one, the original four or five are enough, and more than ten came at once, no way, the current Cui Tingshi cherishes the official reputation, and the officials can get not much money, oil and water, and now there are benefits, isn't it rushing? Zhao Zhutou has calculated, plus himself, a total of fourteen brothers came, take sixty taels, and then those who are good with themselves, those with old qualifications, then divide a little more, divide four or five taels, and divide the others into two or three taels, go to Tianfu Restaurant and set up a table to have a good meal, and after the worst, you can still drop about twenty taels, which is also very good.

"Yes, Zhao Zhutou, you have the final say." Liu Yuan didn't expect that this guy would be willing to give twenty taels, of course, he should do it immediately.

After negotiating the business, Liu Yuan and Zhao Zhutou were extremely satisfied, glanced at each other, and laughed again, which made the people on the side a little inexplicable.

"Brothers, it's not easy for Shopkeeper Liu to sympathize with us, the high prices are all down, come on, move these things back, in addition, after the inspection is completed, the things inside belong to Shopkeeper Liu, put all the claws to Lao Tzu a little lighter, don't break it, knock the flowers, brother, I don't agree, I'll go to Tianfu Restaurant to drink in a while, don't blame me for not being able to give him wine."

"Don't worry, boss, be careful."

"It's done so quickly"

"I got rich, I was so happy to see the boss, and I said that I went to Tianfu Restaurant to drink, and this ticket must have earned a lot."

As soon as these officials heard and heard, it was still Tianfu Restaurant, and they were all as excited as chicken blood, and hurriedly moved all those things back to the Yuman Building, and it happened that Liu Yuan brought enough silver taels when he bought the official slaves, and without saying a word, he counted sixty taels on the spot and gave them to Zhao Zhutou.

Seeing Liu Yuanlian laughing a few times in the distance, Xiao Niang said curiously: "Sanniang, do you see it, senior brother seems to be very happy." ”

Du Sanniang pouted and said, "Who is not happy to have such a big store?" But looking at him smiling cheaply, needless to say, it must be the collusion of officials and businessmen, and what benefits have he got, it is really a nest of snakes and rats. ”

It's no wonder that Du Sanniang hates those officials, when she performs on the boat, in addition to paying a lot of taxes, the "part money" that is not on the stage every month is also broken, so she doesn't have much good impression when she looks at the officials.

Whether Du Sanniang has a good impression of the official errand, Liu Yuan doesn't know what to do, but Liu Yuan has a very good impression of the official errand, not to mention how much he can earn from the big deal he talked about with Cui Tingshi at night, just by buying those ingredients just now, he made more than a hundred taels at the least, not counting those tools and the man-hours required to polish the ingredients.

Earn big.

It is no wonder that so many people in the past generations want to be officials and businessmen, and they have to cooperate more in the future.

Seeing off Zhao Zhutou and his party, Liu Yuan walked towards Qin Daye and where they were with a smile on his face: his appetite was almost hanging, it was time to solve the problem of these craftsmen.

PS: I know that many readers want to see how Liu Yuan bears the anger of the third master of the Cui family, and it is estimated that he will have to wait a few more chapters, it is very simple, Qinghe is thousands of miles away from Yangzhou, and in ancient times, travel could only rely on carriages, so there is still a short period of leisurely days
