Chapter Seventy-Five: Confession (Chapter 1, 1/5)
The people in the salt shop were silent for a moment, and no one spoke.
Bai Jin pinched the brush quite calmly and said, "Go back to Liu's Mansion, as long as he is willing to do it, he will be able to send all the salt to Liu's Mansion tomorrow!" ”
"Yes." The little guy hurriedly ran out again.
Steward Mu opened his mouth and asked, "Master, is this what you are waiting for?" ”
Bai Jin nodded and said, "Otherwise?" Why am I raising the price so high? I just made it clear that I wanted to pit the Liu family, and when this batch of salt was sold, let's discuss the price with the people in those salt mills and lower the price of salt. ”
Steward Mu said admiringly: "He is worthy of being the master." ”
Bai Jinxiao's eyes narrowed into crescent moons and said: "It's not that I'm amazing, it's that the Liu family pays too much attention to face, it's too embarrassing to sell the salt from our salt shop, and Master Liu is really angry when he is cheated by the shopkeeper Ning." ”
Let her pay once just to see that she can't take it out, so that this contract is in name only.
But he miscalculated, the few houses he tore up the contract at the beginning have now signed contracts with her, and all the salt has gone into her treasury.
Almost didn't look at the abacus, Bai Jin fiddled with the abacus a few times, there were almost two thousand taels of silver, except for the nine hundred taels of silver for those families, Bai Jin could also make a net profit of more than a thousand taels!
No, this transaction will pay off the arrears to those salt mills and the silver owed by the Jingnan Hou Mansion.
But now is not the time to relax, Liu Fu is deep in thought, just like this, most of them will not be able to get the two thousand taels of silver, the little guy just went back to reply to Master Liu, Bai Jin pulled the rest of the empty little guy in the store to release the news.
Early in the morning, the entire Jingnan City knew that the Liu family wanted to buy 12,000 catties of salt from the Bai family.
Even in the Jingnan Marquis's mansion, it was spread all over the place, and several maids sat on the steps and chatted about it.
Yun Luan actually wanted to talk about it when she stood beside Wei Yan and sharpened the ink for her, but her master was in a bad mood for a few days, and the words were even less terrifying, although the prince asked him not to send someone to look at Miss Bai, but with his temperament, if something happened to Miss Bai, it was estimated that he would blame himself.
Look, most of the prince knows about it, and he really wants to ask him what happened.
It's okay, he can bear it, and the prince doesn't ask him or say it.
So the two people who should be chatting at this time suddenly closed their mouths tacitly, but they only lasted for an hour, and asked after Wei Yan wrote four paintings and calligraphy, "Should you say something to me?" ”
Yun Luan: "...... "The master is the master after all, even if he doesn't say Wei Yan, he can let him take the initiative to speak."
"The Liu family just asked for 12,000 catties of salt from the Hailing Salt Shop." Yun Luan said helplessly.
Not particularly surprised, Wei Yan said disdainfully: "According to the price of salt collected by the Liu family, how much silver can that 12,000 catties be worth?" ”
Yun Luan corrected in a low voice: "It's according to the price in the Hailing Salt Shop." The slave just calculated, at least two thousand taels. ”
He didn't think it was particularly vivid to say this, and after thinking about it, Lord Yun began to die again: "That is to say, if Miss Bai buys salt, she can repay the one thousand taels of silver owed to the Hou Mansion." ”
In other words, the usury before the prince has become.
The prince wouldn't want to stop people from selling this batch of salt, would he?
Wei Yan snorted and said, "Do you still have such a thing as air traffic control?" You think that's what I told you to say? ”
Isn't it?
"I'm asking about the Yun family."
Yesterday, Yun Luan had already told him about the Yun family, Yun Heliang had already left Hailing to Jingnan, although the people who were lurking in Hailing quickly sent the news all the way, but this distance was too far, and in fact, the news was not much faster, and the news of Yun Heliang's departure and the news that the Yun family had arrived at the boundary of Jingnan was only four days apart.
I don't know how many horses died of exhaustion halfway through.
It's only a little bit apart, how much news can there be? Yun Luan also told him at most where people had gone now.
"The Yun family's carriage is still in Liangcheng," Yun Luan said helplessly, "I will come to Jingnan City to visit you tomorrow." ”
"I see, you go out first."
Yun Luan saw that he had finally let go of himself, and went out decisively before he had time to regret it.
The Liu family is self-defeating and has fallen into a dead end, and there has been no reply.
Bai Jin didn't bother to pay attention to him, and on the second day, he mobilized all the people in the salt shop to transport them to the door of the Liu family's salt shop in a horse-drawn carriage.
12,000 catties of salt mobilized more than 20 carriages, all blocked the door of the salt shop, early in the morning the people inside opened the door, and saw a horse's head sticking in, and the horse's nose came out of his face.
"Mom!" The little two were startled and sat on the ground.
Bai Jin sat on the horse at the front, patted the horse under him, and said, "Go and tell your master, I brought the salt, when will this silver be given?" ”
"Old ...... The old man is in Liu's mansion, not in the salt shop. ”
Of course, Bai Jin knew that Master Liu must be in the mansion now, but what was the point of her going to block Liu's mansion? Master Liu can't be a shrinking turtle and won't come out for a day.
But the salt shop is different, these more than 20 carriages are neatly arranged, blocking a road, and people can't even walk in, how can they sell salt.
"I know," Bai Jinxiao was harmless to humans and animals, "so please go and invite your master over." ”
The little two couldn't be the master of this matter, so he could only report it to the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper didn't know what to do and could only go to Liu's mansion from the back door.
In other words, it went around in a big circle, and by the time Master Liu knew, the person had already been blocked for an hour.
"All of them were delivered?" Master Liu couldn't sit still.
"All of them have been delivered," said the shopkeeper, bending down, "early this morning, more than 20 carriages stopped at the door of our shop, and directly blocked the road, saying that they would not leave without giving money." ”
It seems that she really took out 12,000 catties of salt?
What's going on with this Bai family, it can produce more than 10,000 catties of salt in half a month?
Or is it the old salt that has been stored before? In May last year, he asked Liu Xuran to go to Huangyan Village, when the Bai family's salt mill had been abandoned for more than a month, how could he save 12,000 catties of salt.
"You go and invite Miss Bai to Yueqing Building," Master Liu pinched his eyes and said, "It seems that we are really in the pit this time." ”
"Master, are we really going to buy that batch of salt?" Steward Yu frowned.
"I can only buy it," Master Liu put on his robe and said, "I've been thinking about it for a long time these days, the Bai family can get to this point now, and it is very likely that the shopkeeper of Jingnan Hou and Ning behind him is here, this time we will take care of the loss, we can't fight them, and many things need to be discussed in the long run." ”
