A few people were indispensable, and it was a good greeting.

After each of them sat down, Li Qi hurriedly said loudly: "Two brothers, did you come today with any good news?" ”

Seeing that Li Qi was so anxious, Wu Xiaoqi was secretly happy in his heart.

Seemingly. The plan that Ji Jinyun said is really going to be realized, I'm afraid it won't be difficult.

"Nature, nature. Otherwise, we wouldn't have made a special trip here. Alas, speaking of which, it is true. If it weren't for the difficulties, who would want to run out on such a cold day. ”

Boss Ma is also clever, Wu Xiaoqi hasn't picked up Li Qi's words yet, but he quickly started talking.

While talking, I didn't forget to sigh, and I looked like an unlucky guy who was owed wages by all evil owners.

Wu Xiaoqi secretly looked at Li Qi's face, and saw that there was a trace of irrepressible excitement and joy flashing on it. As soon as his heart turned, he immediately spoke: "Hello this Boss Li, I also heard from this brother that you are very interested in our boss's salt mine." ”

Speaking of this, Wu Xiaoqi gestured to Wu Gan with his hand.

"Yes, yes. I heard about it once in a while. It stands to reason that illegal salt trafficking is a felony, and you and I both know the consequences of this salt mining. I was also forced to go to Liangshan, there is a large family of people to support, this business is sluggish, the last time I finally made some money, but I was robbed by bandits in the middle of the road. Seeing that this has reached the end of the year, the family still expects me to take the money home for the New Year. If he hadn't been forced, who would have risked so much to do this headless thing? Yes, alas"

Li Qi slowly said the reasons that he had thought of a long time ago.

At last. A long sigh was even heavier than Boss Ma just now.

Today, it seems that all the people who come to the Wu brothers' house are more miserable than others. In the room, after such a moment, the most resounding was the sigh one after another.

"Yes, yes, what Boss Li said is really right. If it weren't for the lack of a way, who would want to do this with their heads in their hands. I thought that we poor people were worried about everything, but I didn't expect Boss Li to be a lot of boredom. It seems that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. ”

Wu Xiaoqi's eyes quietly stared at the change in Li Qi's expression, while following Li Qi's tone.

Seeing that a few people were just chatting, they didn't mention anything about the salt mine, and Wu Gan next to him was a little anxious. Sitting on the stool, he moved his body to Boss Ma again, and said with a smile:

"Brother, last time, you said that Boss Lin wanted to sell the salt mine. When you go back, you didn't ask, how did Boss Lin reply. Let's talk about it, let's get down to business. ”

"Yo, look at my brain, eighty percent of them were dizzy because my wife was arguing to go home for the New Year. Why did you forget about this important event? ”

Wu Xiaoqi patted his head with his hand. Xiang Li Qi smiled self-deprecatingly, and then continued: "Boss Li, we'll ask about this when we go back." Boss Lin has too many things at home at the moment, and he has no time to take care of the salt mine, so he said a number, as long as you can give this amount of silver, the salt mine will naturally be yours. This price. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Xiaoqi stretched out a slap and went out.

"Fifty taels? No problem. You go back and let Boss Lin come to the county tomorrow, and we will sign the contract for the sale of the salt mine." ”

Seeing Wu Xiaoqi's slap, Li Qi was secretly overjoyed in his heart.

The salt mine is a one-day profit, and it is not worth the price.

However, before he could be happy, Wu Xiaoqi's words immediately made him cold from the beginning to the bottom.

"No, no, Boss Li, our boss said it, it's five hundred taels of silver." Boss Ma interjected from the side, as if he had discussed it with Wu Xiaoqi before.

Five hundred taels?

Li Qi's eyes quickly rolled when he heard this number.

When he came out of the capital, the third prince instructed the royal account office and gave him a silver ticket of 1,000 taels, which naturally did not count the cart full of goods.

Xishan County is located in the middle of nowhere, and although Li Qi lives in the best inn in the county, it doesn't cost a few. In addition to such a long period of expenses, Li Qi still has more than 700 taels of silver left on him.

He can take out five hundred taels of silver, but in that case, he will be very poor. But fortunately, when I came out, I brought such a large cart of goods, and now I am still locked in the cargo room of the Yuelai Inn. When it's really not enough, it can be exchanged for a lot of money.

Xishan County is now a time of salt shortage, as soon as the salt mine is bought and mined, the silver will naturally roll in, which is a good deal that only makes money and does not lose money.

Five hundred taels, it's a good deal!

Thinking of this, a trace of excitement quickly flashed on Li Qi's face.

Wu Xiaoqi saw this look very clearly on the side, and smiled secretly in his heart.

"Yes, five hundred taels is five hundred taels. When can I sign a contract? When can I go in and mine? Richie's face shone brightly.

It's no wonder that with this salt mine, it means that Li Qi has a cornucopia in his hands. When this salt mine is normalized, he will slowly get out of the third prince, and then live a life without worrying about food and clothing, no longer having to be afraid like now, for fear that if he is not careful, he doesn't know how his head will fall off.

The salt mine has not yet arrived, and Li Qi is already imagining his future days.

It's just that his dream has only been done for a few minutes.

"Boss Li, wait. When we left, our boss explained. Saying that 500 taels is just the right to use the salt mine. One more thing, if you agree, we can sign the contract right now. Wu Xiaoqi smiled meaningfully and said.

When he was done, he took out a contract for the sale of salt mines from his bosom and put it on the table.

Wu Xiaoqi's words made Li Qi, who was very excited, suddenly wake up from his dream. Seeing Wu Xiaoqi put down the contract, Li Qi hurriedly grabbed it with one hand.

"What! Your boss is too black-hearted, isn't he? ”

After a few hurried glances at the contract, Li Qi exclaimed, and then let out a loud roar, slamming the contract on the table with a "snap".

This voice made Wu Gan, who was sitting on the side, stand up immediately, took the paper contract, and then remembered that he didn't know a single big word at all, so he smiled and put the contract back in its place. Boss Chong Ma laughed and asked, "Big brother, what is written on this?" ”

"Well, I don't really know what it's written on. However, when I was leaving, I heard the boss of Nalin and told him that he must guarantee this condition before he can sell the salt mine. It seems that in addition to the five hundred taels, the income of the salt mine in the future will be divided between the two of them. ”

Boss Ma is also illiterate, and when he heard Wu Gan ask, he told Ji Jinyun what he told him.

"Brother, your boss's heart is too big, right? How much do you want? Li Qi smiled coldly.

However, Wu Xiaoqi didn't accept this, and with the same sneer, he took the contract back.

"Since, Boss Li, I didn't buy it sincerely, then we will leave."
