Li Bin left the Gojie main hall and galloped towards the south of the mountain, and his disciple Wei Yawei followed with all his might.

After meeting Ge Jie, the chief of the green forests in the six southern provinces, Wei Yawei admired his master Li Bin even more, and he could make a robber and bandit leader who dominated the green forest world willing to bow down and obey his orders, Master Li Bin was too incredible.

Wei Yawei also found that the longer he followed his master Li Bin, the more he would be frightened by his master Li Bin's unexpected actions and incredible achievements.

For example, yesterday, Wei Yawei went to the port to help his uncle Zhang Ju sort out the account books of the Futumen ocean-going trade fleet, and the amount of silver taels in the account books almost shocked his eyeballs, and each transaction was more than hundreds of thousands of taels.

Li Bin's master and apprentice galloped for a long time, and finally came to the gate outside the city wall of Mingde Mansion at night.

The sun had set, and the gate of the city wall outside the Mingde Mansion had been closed, so in order not to delay the precious time, Li Bin decided to enter the city overnight tonight.

Using the identity of the chief catcher of the atmosphere to open the city gate and enter the city, Li Bin was familiar with the road and led his disciples straight to the home of Sun Tou, the elder of the Mingde Porcelain Industry Guild.

Lao Sun Tou is not only a skilled and honest man in porcelain craftsmanship, but also a well-loved elder in the Mingde porcelain industry. If you want to make a big career in the Mingde porcelain industry, it will be half the effort to leave the support of the old grandson.

"Old grandson! Lord Qiao Zhizhou invited you to join three times and twice, and he was already very polite to you, don't be ashamed! When Li Bin came to the gate of Lao Suntou's house, he heard someone in the house roaring loudly.

"Since Lao Yu is the president of Mingde's porcelain industry, he must seek benefits for Mingde's porcelain craftsmen, not for his own personal honor and disgrace. Do things that go against your conscience! Master Qi, please go back. The old grandson was unmoved.

"Good old grandson! You think you're doing this to not give face to Lord Zhizhou. Isn't there a way for Lord Zhizhou to punish you? You better not forget that your grandson is an errand boy in the yamen! Master Qi said angrily and intimidating before going out.

Master Qi, who left the old grandson's house in a hurry, almost collided with Li Bin, who happened to enter the house.

"Can't walk! Hit Lao Tzu to see if Lao Tzu doesn't kill you! "Master Qi's anger is unabated. Li Bin, who almost collided with himself, said angrily.

In the face of Master Qi's scolding, Li Bin was silent, and before Master Qi was about to go out, he used the fingering technique of killing immortals with the cold ice true qi of the Nine Yin Divine Skill, and the fingers that did not leak traces tapped the life point behind Master Qi's waist.

Li Bin's technique was ingenious and hidden, and Master Qi just felt that the position of the life gate on his back was suddenly cold for a while, and he didn't feel anything else.

Li Bin used the cold nature of the Nine Yin Divine Skill Cold Ice True Qi with this hand, and imported a certain amount of Cold Ice True Qi from Master Qi's Destiny Gate Acupoint, and Master Qi didn't have a particularly serious reaction when the incident happened. But afterwards, I will be offended, at least I will collapse in bed and tremble, and I can't take care of myself for more than a day.

If it weren't for Li Bin seeing that although Master Qi was hateful, he was not a great traitor, and the cold ice true qi he imported was well controlled, otherwise Master Qi would only be in bed in this life but would have died.

"Old Master Suntou, how are you doing lately?" Li Bin entered the room and shouted enthusiastically.

The oil lights in the room were dim, and the old grandson couldn't see it clearly until Bin approached him. Xi said: "It turned out that Li Zhutou was coming, and the old grandson was sluggish." I also hope that Li Zhutou will forgive his sins. ”

During his first trip to Mingde, Li Bin used the title of the chief catcher of the six southern provinces to help a craftsman in the Lao Sun Tou Guild avoid being imprisoned, so the old Sun Tou had a good impression of Li Bin.

"What is the old master Sun Tou, the younger generation has been saying goodbye since the last time. I miss it very much, I don't know if the Mingde porcelain industry has changed now? Of course, Li Bin knew that the king of Chu had ordered his officials to rectify the Mingde porcelain industry at his request. What is the actual effect after rectification, Li Bin wants to listen directly from the mouth of the party.

"A few months ago. The imperial court abolished the porcelain department and banned the high sales tax that stifled the survival and development of the porcelain industry. I thought it was a big change this time. I thought that I would take this great opportunity to lead the porcelain craftsmen of the Mingde Porcelain Guild to do a good job and make a turnaround.

Who would have thought, but the good times did not last long, last month, after the new Zhizhou took office, through various coercion and inducement, he did everything to force the craftsmen of the Mingde porcelain workshop to sign a porcelain production and marketing contract.

The contract stipulates that the porcelain workshop that enters into the contract must produce the quantity of porcelain specified in the contract every year and deliver it to the merchant of the contracting party, who shall pay the silver taels at the price agreed upon in advance on the contract. The old grandson said slowly, his tone slightly sad and lonely.

"With a contract to ensure the sale of the porcelain produced by the workshop, shouldn't the craftsmen have no worries and devote themselves to the production of porcelain? What's not to be happy about? Li Bin couldn't understand that the old grandson was so worried about this matter.

"If the contract can really benefit the craftsmen of the Mingde porcelain industry and make money. My grandson is a hundred happy, but 10,000 support is too late, how can he be depressed and oppose. It's just that this bullshit contract is too domineering! Buying porcelain from artisanal workshops at outrageously low purchase prices, artisans work hard for a year to produce it, and in the end they can only earn money for porridge, and it is difficult to even eat a full meal. It's not much better than the high sales tax that the porcelain division used to charge. The old grandson said that the contract was boring.

"When the contract was signed, did the craftsmen know the unreasonable terms in the contract?" Li Bin asked.

"How can you not know, but what is the use of knowing? There is the new Zhizhou behind the back, supporting those unconscionable businessmen, using various means to force the big guy to sign this unfair contract, tonight the new Qiao Zhizhou sent his subordinate Master Qi to my house, in a vain attempt to force me to join their camp, work for them, and oppress the craftsmen of the Mingde porcelain industry together. The old grandson said excitedly and loudly, as if he was very angry.

When Li Bin heard this, he had basically figured out the current embarrassment faced by the porcelain industry in Mingdefu, and if he did not get a big change, his porcelain development would not be able to be implemented at all.

"Master Suntou, do you have a ready-made contract? Pick me up. Li Bin said, Li Bin also wanted to see what this overlord contract in the mouth of the old grandson was like that eats people and does not spit out bones.

"There, I just tore up a contract that Master Qi gave me to sign and pledge." Lao Sun Tou pointed to a torn document under the table and said.

Li Bin bent down to pick it up and spliced it to take a closer look. When Li Bin saw the purchase price of porcelain, he couldn't help but exclaim, and said in his heart: "These beasts can really do it, a piece of porcelain Li Bin Luo Danguo Trade Station sells for two coins of silver, and the purchase price in the contract is only five copper coins, even if it is in the territory of the Great Qi Kingdom, a piece of porcelain can be sold for almost fifty or sixty copper coins, which is really outrageously low." ”

One coin of silver is equivalent to one hundred copper coins of Daqi, and one tael of silver is equivalent to one thousand copper coins of Daqi. (To be continued......)
