Chapter 400: Good Luck in Bad Luck
readx;
In the accommodation building, in the B-shaped room on the third floor, Jiang Jianxing frowned, and unconsciously circled in the space that was not big or small. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Late autumn is approaching, and Jiang Jianxing's wrinkled forehead is drenched in sweat.
All this, he himself was unaware, and his mind was full of jet-black black grass.
For more than a month, in his head and heart, in addition to black flames, there was still black spirits.
Tuk, tuk, tuk...... There was an unhurried knock on the door, and Jiang Jianxing's footsteps around the room suddenly froze.
After taking a few heavy breaths, straightening the blue satin shirt, rubbing his face a few more times, and temporarily rubbing away his sadness, he walked quickly to the back of the door.
With a breath of turbidity, Jiang Jianxing opened the door.
Although he wanted to be calmer, Jiang Jianxing's face still couldn't help but show an urgent look.
"Shopkeeper Lin, how's it going? What does the county government say? Did Lord Gutai say when he would send troops? In this matter, it seems that the Martial Arts Institute is also going to send people, has the Martial Arts Institute promised to send people? Jiang Jianxing's questions kept pouring out towards Lin Dong who was standing at the door.
"Boss Jiang, don't worry, go into the house and say." Lin Dong said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, shopkeeper Lin, look at me." Jiang Jianxing hurriedly turned sideways, and after Lin Dong sat down at the desk, he handed over tea and water, not at all like a guest at Lin Ji Inn, but more like Lin Dong was a guest.
Lin Dong was not polite, took a sip of tea, waited until Jiang Jianxing sat down opposite, and after asking again with an anxious face, he opened his mouth to explain: "This matter is related to the livelihood of the county and the west of the prefecture, and the lord of the county has already promised to personally go to the garrison to transfer troops, and the only trouble is the Martial Arts Academy." ”
"What does the Martial Arts Institute say?" Jiang Jianxing Express Road.
Lin Dong explained: "Boss Jiang was robbed on the Guanyoushan Mountain Road, unless the Guanyoushan bandits are too rampant, or His Excellency Tianwei orders the bandits, otherwise, this matter has nothing to do with the Martial Arts Institute." Neither of these things, the mountain bandits in Guan Youshan have ......"
"What then? So what to do? If the Martial Arts Institute doesn't care, no matter how many troops there are, they won't be able to suppress such a large group of mountain bandits. Shopkeeper Lin didn't know that those mountain bandits were overwhelmed by black pressure, and there were not 10,000 but 8,000. What should I do, what should I do......" Without waiting for Lin Dong to finish speaking, Jiang Jianxing stood up in a hurry, as if the sky had fallen, and his face was full of black gas.
For Jiang Jianxing, the Martial Arts Institute does not send people, and this matter is indeed the same as the sky falling.
"Boss Jiang listens to me!" Lin Dong knew that Jiang Jianxing must have been stupid at that time, not to mention that there were 18,000 mountain bandits in a cottage, even if there were 18,000 mountain bandits in the entire Guanyou Mountain, it was impossible for the Martial Arts Institute to tolerate the existence of so many mountain bandits. Except for Jiang Jianxing, who was stunned and dazzled, there was no other possible surname.
After a pause, seeing that Jiang Jianxing's mood had stabilized a little, Lin Dong explained: "This matter really has nothing to do with the Martial Arts Academy, but fortunately, I bought a box of pills from a down-and-out guest before. Originally, I didn't think this elixir had any value, I just wanted to help this guest. I went to the Wushu Institute to find Dean Liu but didn't negotiate, I had no choice but to think of this box of pills, and the dead horse was regarded as a live horse doctor, so I asked people to take it out and send it to Dean Liu. Unexpectedly, Dean Liu actually agreed to send someone to suppress the bandits. ”
"Really? Shopkeeper Lin, what you said is true? Jiang Jianxing was overjoyed, his expression was like a drowning man grabbing a big plank, happy, happy, and excited...... Lin Dong smiled: "Why should I lie to Boss Jiang? By the way, Boss Jiang, I sent this box of pills in your name, and when the people from the Martial Arts Institute asked, the real reason would definitely not work, after all, Boss Jiang did not open an inn. It's best for Boss Jiang to say that there is some relative in the sect, and this relative gave it to your children to cultivate. ”
After Jiang Jianxing nodded repeatedly, he thanked him repeatedly.
said that he was tired, said he was thirsty, and seemed to think of something, Jiang Jianxing did not shy away from anything, strode to the bedside, lifted the bedding, and then lifted a wooden board underneath.
On the board, a red string is tied, and under the string, a money bag hangs.
Untied the money bag, Jiang Jianxing reached into it, and when he pulled it out, there was already a stack of silver tickets in his hand. Looking at the money bag again, it has crumpled into a ball of cloth.
"Shopkeeper Lin, the silver I brought this time is not much, plus the money spent by Master Wan, there are only three thousand taels left, you can accept it with a smile. When the black flame grass is retrieved and the money is received, I will give another reward. Jiang Jianxing held the silver ticket in front of Lin Dong with a grateful face.
"Boss Jiang is too polite to do this." Lin Dong shook his head, pushed Jiang Jianxing's hand back, and said, "I just helped Boss Jiang run errands, and that box of pills was only bought for three taels of silver." Just such a small favor has to collect Boss Jiang's huge silver ticket, and pass it out, it is more like taking advantage of the fire to rob, and the good reputation of our Lin Ji Inn will have to be ruined. ”
"No, no, shopkeeper Lin, you must accept it, you must accept it." Jiang Jianxing looked excited, and desperately pushed the silver ticket to Lin Dong. For him, this is even more than a life-saving grace.
Moreover, not to mention saving his own family, just this matter itself, not to mention 3,000 taels of silver, Jiang Jianxing was sick and went to the doctor, and he was willing to pay 30,000 or 300,000 taels of silver.
couldn't help it, Lin Dong had to accept the silver ticket. To be honest, he actually wanted to give Jiang Jianxing tens of thousands of taels of silver.
The Boss Jiang in front of him is the most anxious guest of Lin Ji Inn. Ma Chun found him around the evening of the next day. Speaking of which, it was not that Ma Chun found it, but told the guys to see which of the residents was in a sad and bad mood, and after the guys got the instructions, they found Jiang Jianxing in less than an hour.
It's too obvious, frowning, sighing, and looking dazed...... There is no need for Ma Chun, a steward with a superb surname, to come out, and no one can see that Jiang Jianxing is disturbed and impatient by the huge crisis.
The reason is that at night, Ma Chun has already been set.
This Boss Jiang is not from Lingnan County, but from nearby Tianfeng County.
Jiang Jianxing was born in poverty, but relying on his courage and carefulness, his family gradually improved, and he opened a pharmacy three years ago and started the best medicinal material business in Tianfeng County.
In the past few years, although CCB Pharmacy has been ranked among the top 100 in Tianfeng City, where there are so many pharmacies. But the business is also booming, and every year, you can also earn five or six thousand taels of silver.
Several provinces in the western part of Lingnan County are extremely humid, and every year in the spring there will be a large-scale outbreak of a disease called eczematriciasis, which only makes people drowsy at the beginning, but if it drags on for three or five months, the mortality rate is extremely high.
Of course, ecdermiasis is not incurable, as long as you decoction of a second-order spiritual material called black flame grass can be cured. And this black flame grass belongs to one of the specialties of Tianfeng County.
Therefore, the pharmacy in Lingnan City will send people to Tianfeng City every year to purchase a batch of black flame grass, and then sell it to the pharmacy in several western provinces.
After the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, this way of sourcing black flame grass has changed. The amount is large, the price is more favorable, and the transportation can also save a lot of money, the owners of more than 20 pharmacies in Lingnan City gathered to study and decide, through the operation of the Chamber of Commerce, let the Chamber of Commerce send people to Tianfeng City to contact the big pharmacies and purchase them in a unified manner.
After Jiang Jianxing inadvertently got this news, his mind surged.
The total amount of one million plants will require more than two million taels of silver at the cost alone.
If CCB Pharmacy can win all of them, it will be equivalent to a sudden increase in business volume by 50 or 60 times.
Therefore, the bold Jiang Construction Bank asked a well-known person in Tianfeng City to make a guarantee, promised not to collect a deposit, and the cash register on delivery, the price was one percent lower than the quotation of the black flame grass shop, and he showed off his wealth and boasted about his family's great business...... With great effort, Jiang CCB successfully won the order for this batch of black flame grass.
Selling land and land, securing houses and shops, and seeking friends and relatives...... With great difficulty, the black flame grass worth 500,000 taels of silver was raised, and Jiang Jianxing took the convoy and sent it over as the first batch.
In order to save time and receive the money as soon as possible, when the convoy arrived at Guanyoushan in the north of Lingnan City, Jiang Jianxing, like many businessmen with a fluke mentality, gave up the official road that needed to go around a big circle and let the convoy drive into Guanyoushan.
As a result, Jiang CCB's convoy was hit by bandits from Guanyoushan. In order to save money, the men and guards of the convoy added up to less than twenty people. And the carriages, there were ten.
There is no suspense, the convoy was targeted by the mountain bandits, Jiang Jianxing flashed a little luck in the sky, the number of these mountain bandits is also small, and the owner of the village is cautious, afraid that there are masters in the convoy to dare to enter Guanyou Mountain with so few people, so he just waved the flag and shouted to scare from afar.
The guys and the guards fled without a fight, and a bold guard easily knocked Jiang Jianxing, who would rather die than leave, and took him away, and then, a group of people had no face to see Jiang Jianxing again and left him in a wood.
After Jiang Jianxing woke up, he slept all the way to Lingnan City, and with a glimmer of hope, took out the silver ticket sewn in his shorts, changed into clothes, and went to the county office with 10,000 taels of silver tickets.
In order to waste face for 10,000 taels of silver to find the commander of the garrison to send troops, Yang Yankang's vision will naturally not be low to this extent. Jiang Jianxing saw that it didn't work, so he went to bribe a county master who lived in the north of the city, and then stayed at the Lin Ji Inn, anxiously waiting for news.
In the end, after waiting for more than ten days, there was no news. When Jiang Jianxing was about to despair, good luck broke out again in the sky-high mildew, first the manager of Lin Ji Inn enthusiastically asked if his face was not good and he was frightened by the loud noise, and then the shopkeeper of Lin Ji Inn came to the door in person, saying that he had some friendship with Yang Yankang of Juntai and was willing to help intercede.
Jiang Jianxing's dead horse was regarded as a live horse doctor, and when Lin Dong left, he went out to inquire.
Helpful, a well-known good man nearby, has a deep friendship with the Hua family, a family in the north of the city, and is rumored to have a great relationship with Master Fu...... Jiang Jianxing's desperate heart once again ignited a blazing hope.
And this hope did not turn into disappointment again, and that afternoon, Lin Dong came to the door again.
The money owed to the bank, the money owed to friends and relatives, the settling-in allowance for the men and the guards, plus the liquidated damages for not delivering the black flame grass on time...... Jiang CCB committed suicide by hanging the beam in order to leave a difficult way for the family to survive.
It can be said that if he can get the black flame grass back, in the eyes of Jiang Jianxing, Lin Dong is the biggest benefactor in his life.
And Lin Dong, after helping Jiang CCB retrieve the black flame grass, the inn system will also be successfully upgraded to level eight.
