Qiao Zhengyuan was silent for a moment and said, "What business are you going to do?" ”

"Cinnabar." The girl said, "The last batch of dansha that can be used by the people this year will arrive in Beijing in a few days, and I want that batch of cinnabar." ”

The annual cinnabar output of Dachu is fixed, except for the one allocated to the government, the amount left to the people is about forty percent, which is also the share of cinnabar that can be circulated by the people. It is almost winter, and this batch of cinnabar transported from the Sichuan Shu sand mine is also the last batch of cinnabar that can be circulated by the people this year.

Qiao Zhengyuan didn't ask her why she wanted such a stupid thing as cinnabar, and he couldn't ask left and right, so he listened, was slightly stunned, drank all the water in the teacup in his hand, and then asked her: "How much do you want?" ”

The girl smiled, her expression was confused, and her voice was soft: "All." ”

What the? All? The imported tea squirted out all of a sudden, and Qiao Zhengyuan was busy wiping the tea in front of him with his sleeve, while his eyes widened and glared at her: "What did you just say?" "I'm afraid I've misheard.

"All." The girl looked at him and said seriously, her voice was still soft, but her tone was unacceptable, "I want it all." ”

Qiao Zhengyuan glared at her, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything.

He wanted to ask "Do you know how much money it costs to buy that batch of cinnabar", but after thinking about it, she wouldn't know about this kind of thing, but she knew, and only then did she know that if she really wanted to swallow that cinnabar, ordinary businessmen couldn't do it, and only someone like him Qiao Zhengyuan had this qualification.

After a long time, Qiao Zhengyuan sighed and spoke: "What do you want so much cinnabar for?" Without waiting for the girl to speak, he continued to explain, "I drive a horse, and I have no use for these cinnabar purchases. ”

There are only those businesses that use cinnabar, and there are no trades in his name that use cinnabar. I bought so much and there was nowhere to use it. So it's important to ask why.

"I know, this batch of cinnabar won't let you rot in your hands." The girl laughed as she spoke, and she said, "I want you to intercept this batch of cinnabar before it arrives in Chang'an, and then shoot it at the right time." ”

The essence of doing business is to buy low and sell high, such a simple truth, Qiao Zhengyuan naturally understands. However, he also knew that it was absolutely impossible for a girl to come to him for no reason to do business with him.

"Isn't it...... Who has offended you again? Qiao Zhengyuan lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then looked up at the girl, she was wearing an official robe of Dali Temple, and now it was the time for Dali Temple to rest at noon.

There was no anger on the girl in front of him, and she spoke softly from beginning to end since she came in, with a faint smile on her face, but for some reason, he was still keenly aware that the girl in front of him didn't seem to be in a good mood. There is no reason for this kind of awareness, probably because he was once a member of the one who angered her, and after taking a lesson, he has experience, Qiao Zhengyuan thought with emotion.

"The people of the original family." The girl didn't hide what he meant, turned the teacup in her hand, and said slowly, "I will let you sell this batch of cinnabar to the original family at the right time." ”

So, is it time to deal with the original family? Qiao Zhengyuan's fingers trembled, and he instinctively said, "Isn't your father already dead?" ”

As Qiao Zhengyuan himself, who was verbally humiliated in the past, he naturally didn't like the people of the original family, and when he heard the news of the man's death, he also deliberately gave his men a day off to celebrate.

The thing is not over?

"It's not over."

These two sentences, one is what I think in my heart, the other is blurted out of my mouth, one is a question, and the other is an affirmation.

"It's like a vicious dog hurting people, it is a dog that hurts people, but in essence, it is still instructed or acquiesced by the owner." She lowered her eyes and looked at the teacup in her hand and said, "I never said that this matter would be over as soon as the second master died." ”

Qiao Zhengyuan sat on the couch and drank tea one by one, looking up at the girl opposite from time to time, her expression was still faint, but her lips were pursed into a straight line, which really didn't seem like a joke.

Therefore, this time it was to rise to the entire original family, Qiao Zhengyuan hurriedly poured another sip of tea himself.

She really dares anything! If it were a different person, he might have to be a good sneer, an ordinary woman who still walked Zhen Shiyuan, the female official of Dali Temple at the back door, actually wanted to run to deal with the entire original family, and even Zhen Shiyuan himself was afraid that he didn't have the ability. It's just that this person who dares to do anything, since he saw her, there really isn't a thing he can't do. So, such whimsical-sounding things are really unspeakable to her.

"I'm ......" Qiao Zhengyuan paused, got up from the couch, and said, "I'll prepare." ”

Past experience tells him that although doing things for her is terrifying, what should be given to you will never be less, and even more than expected. The ability to do what he says and does is not even guaranteed by a giant like him.

"Prepare enough money." The girl stopped him, thought for a while, and said, "No matter how the other party makes the price, you must take down this batch of cinnabar before entering Beijing." ”

Qiao Zhengyuan, who heard this, was shocked for a while, and her many years of business career told her that as long as the other party found out his urgent intentions, it would be strange not to bargain.

"Are you sure?" Qiao Zhengyuan looked at the girl and couldn't help but say, "It's a loss-making deal to buy like this." ”

"I won't let you pay." When the girl heard this, she shook her head, refusing to let go at all, "You must be fast, it's best to set off now, and use the money to get this batch of cinnabar on the same day." ”

Qiao Zhengyuan moved his lips: "...... Good. "I've believed her so many times, and it doesn't hurt to believe it again.

"Then there will be labor." The girl stood up as she spoke, bowed to him, received a promise from him, seemed to be in a much better mood, and turned and opened the door.

The late autumn wind passed through the patio, blowing the fallen leaves in the courtyard, the girl stood against the light, and for a while the figure looked extremely tall, she gave it away, and the figure quickly disappeared from sight.

"Someone." Qiao Zhengyuan looked in the direction she left for a moment, then opened his mouth to call the shopkeeper, "The team that transported cinnabar from Sichuan and Shu should be about to arrive in Mangcheng, I remember that we have a group of teams going to Jinling near Mangcheng, let people wait there, be sure to take that batch of cinnabar at all costs on the day the team arrives in Mangcheng." ”

Her way of doing things has always been terrifying, and the most important thing is time, but she must not drop the chain with him.

……

A cold wind blew, and the few fallen leaves on the big tree in the Dali temple fell, and it happened to fall on the girl's official hat.

Qiao Ran was about to take off the official hat on her head to dust off the fallen leaves on the hat, but someone had already walked behind her.

"Don't move." He said.

The familiar voice coupled with the familiar sandalwood fragrance on his body, Qiao Ran smiled, his originally tense body relaxed, and let him reach out and take down these few fallen leaves for her, and then smiled: "Why are you here?" ”

"Let's see how those guys are doing in prison." Zhang Xie didn't hide it from her, even though he already knew about it yesterday, he still had to see it with his own eyes after the matter was reported.

"Eat and drink well, and never miss it." Qiao Ran smiled, "I went to ask General Bai this morning. ”

As a fellow inmate, Bai Zhijun clearly knew all the movements in the cell next door.

"That's good." Zhang Xie smiled and said, "You went out to find Master Qiao." ”

Not a doubt, it's a yes.

This matter is not difficult to guess, from the cooperation she asked him to do, he has probably guessed what she is going to do, after all, this matter is not difficult, it is rare to eat the capital of that batch of cinnabar and add bricks and tiles in a timely manner, and these two things, Master Qiao and he can do.

Qiao Ran snorted and said, "Yes," after a pause, he said, "If this matter is done well, it will probably be a real profitable deal." ”

When Zhang Xie heard this, his smile became a little bigger: "Then I will definitely add a few more fires for you here." ”

The girl smiled, in fact, she didn't say what to do, she just told him about it, but many things actually didn't need to be said, and he understood.

Such a tacit understanding has never been encountered in her two lives. It's not long since I met him, but it seems that he has been friends for a long time, and it seems that he has known him for a long time. That's why it's extra comfortable to be around him! Qiao Ran thought to herself.

"Solution." Someone walked out of the hall and stepped into the hospital, it was Xu Hexiu.

He strode over and said, "I heard that a few officials said that you came over, and I thought you were coming to see my friend, but I didn't expect it," Speaking of this, he couldn't help but squeeze his eyes, and then stretched his tone, patted Zhang Jie's shoulder, coughed, and said loudly, "In Dali Temple, I and Chengze are watching for you, don't worry." ”

The girl only shook her head and smiled when she heard this, and there was no shyness or blushing that a girl in her cardamom years should have when she heard about such a thing.

Xu Hexiu, who looked exactly the same as Zhang Xie and looked at it for a long time, also lost his interest in joking, put one hand on Zhang Jie's shoulder, looked at Qiao Ran and then at Zhang Jie, and then sighed: "You talked to Chengze, didn't you?" He took leave to see Ah Yuan. "One by two, they all went to see the girls, and he was pitifully alone.

Qiao Ran heard Xu Hexiu mention the young lady Xu Heyuan who was the tenth of the Xu family, and heard that he was the fiancé of Xie Chengze's childhood sweetheart. Born in a big family, she will definitely lose something, which she once deeply experienced, and it is not strange to marry this kind of thing.

"One or two have people to look at, just me is a lonely person......" Xu Hexiu pouted, looking extremely aggrieved.

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xie smiled: "In this way, next time I will find an opportunity to talk to Master Taifu, saying that you have changed your life and want to marry earlier......"

"Don't, don't!" This really scared Xu Hexiu, it was originally a joke, if Zhang Xie really came like this, it would not be a joke, the family might be able to turn him into a lady within a few months.

It was to scare Xu Hexiu, but seeing his evasive appearance, Zhang Xie didn't continue, just paused, turned his head to Qiao Ran beside him and said: "I'll take you to see Miss Xu Shi another day, she made a good article, it is said that the Taifu once said that if Miss Xu Shi is a man participating in the scientific examination, I am afraid that she can be ranked higher than Hexiu, and if she is lucky, she may be ranked in the top three." ”

In this case, he is a champion talent! Qiao Ran suddenly said: "Then I want to meet this Miss Xu Shi." "A woman who has done well in scientific research articles has made some achievements in politics, and such a woman will marry back, she must be a very great virtuous helper. Thinking about it this way, Xie Chengze is really blessed.

"Then make an appointment to meet you another day." Xu Hexiu yawned and chatted with them without a stubble.

"Miss Qiao, that Zhao Tong is not a good person, you stay away from him......"

"Also, there was another case above, and as soon as I arrived at Dali Temple, I was robbed, and I didn't even see it......"

"Some people say that if you are judged by the cases you handle, if you keep maintaining this level, Miss Qiao, you may have to wait one step ahead of me to be promoted......"

……

The three of them sat down under the porch in the garden, smiled and said that the days were rare and comfortable.

But this comfort can't be comfortable for long, it's about to be winter, and the prisoners will not do evil things because of the cold weather, and Dali Temple still has to worry about the ensuing cases as usual.

Of course, it is not only the officials of Dali Temple who are worried, even the little girl Red Bean is also worried about the coming winter.

"Come on, come on, measure it." Hongdou held the ruler and gestured on everyone, and when it was Fang Xiuting's turn, Hongdou pinched the ruler and couldn't help but glance at her, and said, "The waist is too thick than my young lady, it's time to reduce it." ”

As soon as these words came out, Fang Xiuting's face immediately turned red, and she was about to open her mouth to refute a few words, but Pei Qingqing ran in, pointed outside, and said to Qiao Ran, who was sitting on the side: "That Master Qiao is here." ”

According to the speed of Master Qiao's work, it should also come, Qiao Ran stood up with a smile.

Qiao Zhengyuan, who was waiting outside the door, looked at the girl who walked out, hurriedly took two steps, walked in front of her, and said in a low voice: "The thing has been taken." ”

Qiao Ran nodded, with a little more smile on her face, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Master Qiao." ”

"No...... It's not hard. Qiao Zhengyuan said and looked around, seemed a little nervous, and after seeing that there was no one around, he suddenly stretched out three fingers, leaned in front of her, and said, "Three times." ”

The other party is really embarrassed to open his mouth! Triple that! It was three times higher than the market price of cinnabar before he sold this batch of cinnabar to him. This money, even Qiao Zhengyuan was in pain.

"Do you want to find someone to buy all the cinnabar in Chang'an City?" Qiao Zhengyuan swallowed his saliva, seeming a little nervous, "Do you want to buy all the cinnabar in this city and push up the price of cinnabar?" This is also one of the common means used by merchants to push prices.

"It's not." The girl smiled when she heard this, she looked at Qiao Zhengyuan, and said, "You can't do this, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if you raise the price of cinnabar, it will definitely cause trouble." "The profiteering businessman is simply handing the handle into the hands of others, that is, Qiao Zhengyuan has no enemies, and it is not allowed by His Majesty to speculate on the price of cinnabar, not to mention that there is a large amount of cinnabar in the hands of the Yin and Yang Division, and it is not possible to speculate on the price. For example, Qiao Zhengyuan, who has no background at all, really did such a thing, and there is no second ending except for being convicted of stealing his family and filling the treasury.

"You don't have to worry about the price of cinnabar in the city, and you don't have to sell this pile of cinnabar to others." Qiao Ran smiled and said, "You just have people bring cinnabar into the city, and then hoard it, waiting for me to let you make a move." ”

Qiao Zhengyuan was stunned when he heard it: "Who are you going to sell it to?" ”

"The original home." The girl probably doesn't want him to make the plan go wrong because he doesn't know the inside story, and almost all questions are answered.

She said: "You only sell this batch of cinnabar to the original family." ”

Seeing that Qiao Zhengyuan still looked dazed, the girl smiled and said: "It's also important to offend people, if you really speculate the price of cinnabar, all the people, magnates and even His Majesty in the palace related to cinnabar will be offended by you, how can you have a way to live under the excitement of the crowd?" Therefore, if you offend a person, you can sin to death, but not many, one is enough. ”

Therefore, this batch of cinnabar was only sold to the original family, and only one original family was offended.
