Chapter 55

"Girl, I won't hide it from you, this iron is difficult, we also took a great risk to get it, and it is really the limit to trade once a month."

"No, half a month is too long, and I think it's a long time to trade once in three days. Otherwise, you're introducing me to a supplier. ”

"Girl, where does this thing come from but us?"

"I'm also an old customer, this iron is really a lot of money, if you can help me do it, the benefits will be indispensable to you. Of course, if you can go through the formal channels, thank you for the cost, and you will definitely be very satisfied. ”

After all, this kind of sneaky business can't be long-term, and there are risks, if you can take advantage of the formal channels, it is definitely better than this sneaky.

This NPC understood what Fang Xiaoxiao thought, and he wanted to refuse, after all, with such a buyer, they got iron here and sold it.

But Fang Xiaoxiao is generous, he is also greedy, and he obviously values himself more than the interests of the collective.

So, after hesitating for a while, he finally wavered a little.

"Girl, how much can you give for this benefit?"

If she can do this once and for all, she doesn't feel a loss of any amount of money.

Fang Xiaoxiao is very rich, her eyes met this NPC, and she clearly saw the greed in his eyes, so she gave a number that would definitely make the other party tempted.

"One thousand taels."

At this moment, the NPCs were a little confused.

"Both, all for me ???"

"Yes, it's all for you, if you can help me build a line, after the matter is completed, this thousand taels will be yours."

If it was just shaken at first, now, this NPC is really excited.

One thousand taels, with one thousand taels of silver, he doesn't need to stay in the countryside to live a hard life at all, he can take the silver, go to the city to buy a house, marry a daughter-in-law like a flower and jade, and from then on, his wife and children will be hot on the kang!

At that moment, the other party didn't even hesitate, and said it directly.

"Girl, tonight, it's still this place, you wait for me, wait for me to come back, and we'll talk again."

Now is obviously not the time to talk about this, after all, there are other people who come with the delivery, if they talk about it here, after they go back, his fellow villagers will definitely not let him go!

Of course, Fang Xiaoxiao also knew this, so he nodded, and then watched them leave as usual.

Maybe it's because the charm of one thousand taels is really extremely great, Fang Xiaoxiao went back to have a meal, and when he came back, he saw the NPC squatting in the corner, and he didn't know when he came back.

When the NPC saw her, he hurriedly greeted her, looked left and right, confirmed that there was no one, and the first thing he said was.

"Girl, you listened to what I said after that, but you can't tell anyone that you heard it from me."

"Yes, I won't tell anyone else."

The NPC didn't know whether to believe it or not, but a thousand taels of silver was in front of him, and he still showed the way to Fang Xiaoxiao.

"There is a Mei Sanye in the county, who is engaged in the trading of tea. There is a jade jujube ornament in their store, which you can see as soon as you enter the door. Where do you go to buy three catties of good Tieguanyin first, don't ask the price, wait for the guy to wrap it for you, you ask the guy how much the jade date is, he says how much, you give as much as you want, and this thing is done. ”

Fang Xiaoxiao didn't expect him to be able to explain things so carefully, and couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart.

"You mean, Third Master Mei sells iron ore?"

"Auntie, you can't say that, Mei Sanye sells Tieguanyin, tea cakes!"

"It's so secretive, can't this be a secret thing?"

"I said aunt, grandma, this iron on the surface is controlled by the family and the government, and the share of production every year is limited. Mei Sanye has great powers, he can get iron and you can use it, where did you get so many black, white, light and dark. And Mei Sanye's business is very big, and there are many people who know it, can he do things so openly, can he have no power behind him? So, don't look at the secret business that Mei Sanye does, but in fact, it is no different from the one on the surface. ”

"Then this Third Master Mei, whose person is it?"

"I really don't know this, I only know that the forces behind Mei Sanye are stable, people have been operating this tea shop for many years, and they have been thriving, and if you take the money, you can bring out the goods, you don't have to worry about how much you want."

"And how do you know so well?"

The NPC rubbed his hands together with a somewhat complicated expression.

"I, my ancestor still has some skills, but later the family fell into the middle of the road and returned to the village. Girl, don't worry, I didn't flee like those people, my family is here, and my ancestors have lived here for generations, so I know a lot of things, and Mei Sanye's matter is absolutely true. ”

Refugees......

Fang Xiaoxiao suddenly asked in her heart.

"The people who came with you before were all fleeing?"

The NPC rubs his hands together again, his expression complicated.

"Yes, those people are in charge of the village now."

This NPC usually gives people a very slippery feeling, but at this moment, Fang Xiaoxiao actually saw a sense of distress in him.

It's impossible not to be curious, she had heard Li Yulan talk about the Jedo Village before.

"So, your village is also a desperate village? Corvee? ”

The NPC obviously didn't expect Fang Xiaoxiao to know this, and he couldn't help but be stunned at the moment, as if he was a little stunned.

"Why, your village has also been notified that it is going to be selected for conscription? Girl, if that's the case, listen to me, if the money goes to the government to dredge up, there won't be many people left in your village, if you die......"

Fang Xiaoxiao knew that there was something wrong with him as soon as he heard it, so he touched it in his sleeve, and took out two silver ingots, which were directly stuffed into the other party's hands.

"I'm very interested in this, you tell me, what's going on with the conscription, how to avoid it, your village has also been arrested and conscripted? How many people died? How's it going now? ”

The NPC took the money, coupled with Fang Xiaoxiao's questioning, as if he was worried that his village would also be arrested and conscripted, he didn't suspect it at the moment, and opened his mouth to say it.

"What else can I do, it's mining!"

"That mine is not a serious mine, there are often landslides, and few people who go can come back, and even if they come back, they are all thin and inhuman, and they will all be seriously ill, and some of them will exhaust their family property, and they may not be able to save it."

"That conscription every family has to send people, at the beginning it was my father who went, my father died, it was my brother who went, and in the end I was the only one left in the family, my mother gritted her teeth and scraped the last bit of family foundation and sent it to the yamen, which allowed me to escape. But my mother had no money because she was sick and died in the end. ”

"Now in our village, the old and the young, and the rest are some orphans and widows."
