Lin Ruo's expectation was true, Midu did not give up the idea of taking the leather goods from them.

Where is this a pile of leather goods, it is clearly a pile of bright silver!

After eating closed doors in Ji Mansion in a row, Mi Du simply found Steward Wang directly.

has been a housekeeper for Wang Xi for decades, what kind of person has never seen it? With a greedy and fierce profiteer, Steward Wang is naturally handy.

It seems that he can't resist the lure and coercion of the Beiqi lobbyists, and can't resist the temptation of thousands of taels of silver, but the price offered to Midu is not soft, and it is two and a half times higher than Li Yan's price.

Steward Wang's reason is very simple: "Mr. Li's bottom line is to triple the original price of leather goods and add 50% more." His current price has quadrupled, and there is still a surplus of fifty percent. Since I agreed to cooperate with Midu, I am also taking a big risk, Jinling, I definitely can't go back, I still have to count on using this silver, choose a secluded place to buy a house, and live the rest of my life, naturally I can't just make such a little. The extra 20 and a half I asked for was insignificant compared to the risk I had to take. ”

The Beiqi envoy shook his head dissatisfiedly: "You are too dark!" In this way, at most, we only have 20% of the oil and water left to fish, which is not enough for our brothers! ”

"Heh, I'm not the same as all of you. You are all deployed, with the Beiqi Iron Cavalry in hand, and if you say something unpleasant, he probably won't take Khan and Mr. Li seriously. But I'm different, I'm a bad old man, and I have nothing to rely on but silver! ”

"That's too much!"

Steward Wang's eyes showed a hint of coldness, and he lowered his voice and said, "I'm exchanging my life for money!" ”

The Beiqi envoy hesitated for a moment and said, "In this case, if you give us another one, I can make suggestions to the capital to ensure your safety!" ”

"Don't," Steward Wang bluntly refused, "I don't believe anyone except silver!" Hmph, when the time comes, those of you who come to 'protect' me will see that the money is open, and I, an old man, will not even have the power to fight back! ”

"If there is another shortage, otherwise I won't be able to explain to Du Deployment!"

"At most, I'll give you another five points!"

"This ...... All right. The envoy hesitated for a moment, but finally responded.

"However, I still have conditions, and the delivery must be in cash!"

The Beiqi envoy gritted his teeth, did not respond directly, and said that it was up to the capital to deploy and decide to go back, and he would give a reply as soon as possible. Before leaving, he added: "You Central Plains people are really cunning!" ”

Steward Wang arched his hand and replied with a smile: "Each other, you Beiqi people, are ruthless enough." "The image of the old treacherous and cunning is completely confirmed.

After sending off the Beiqi envoy, Steward Wang returned to the inner room, called Wei Ze, and asked, "In the past two days, how have Mr. Li and our goods been exchanged?" ”

"According to your instructions, the most inferior fur has been replaced, and the best goods have been sent back to Danzhou City and handed over to Young Master Ji. What we have left here is flashy, just waiting for the Beiqi people to send money. ”

Steward Wang nodded: "Then, is there any news from Mr. Li's side, when will the arson be set on fire?" ”

"It's tomorrow night."

"Are the horse merchants and pawnshops in touch?"

"It's already arranged."

"Good! Now, just wait for Mito's reply. You go back to the Ji Mansion first, stay with Miss, and let Ah Yin and the others follow me. ”

Wei Shi thought for a while, nodded and replied, "It's okay." Steward Wang, be sure to pay attention to safety, and I will also remind Ah Yin to pay more attention to them. ”

The Northern Deeds envoy quickly brought back Midu's reply.

The date of delivery between Li Yan and the Meng family is getting closer and closer, Li Yan is anxious, and Midu is also anxious. If you miss the opportunity, no matter how much oil and water you have, it will be wasted.

"There is not so much cash in the hands of the capital for the time being, can you have some more time?"

"Spare some time?" Steward Wang was angry, "Are you kidding me?" This Meng family's order waits for no one, and I am also waiting to collect the money and run away! ”

"Mr. Wang, don't worry. We've all said that we can take something valuable as collateral. ”

"What is valuable?"

"Silverware, jewelry, horses, you can do it!"

Steward Wang thought for a while and said, "Jewelry is okay, but the gold and silver utensils are too cumbersome, as for the horses, hum, I have a handful of old bones, what's the use of horses?" How much is it worth? ”

The envoy of Beiqi was very dissatisfied with his words, you must know that the horses of Beiqi are the most valuable, Daiguo, Zeguo, Donglu, etc., if you want to buy a first-class horse, you have to spend a lot of money! But the stubborn old man in front of him didn't know the goods, so he refused with words!

"Mr. Wang, our good horse in Beiqi is worth a lot of money if it is sold to Daiguo, Zeguo, and even you Donglu!"

"Then bother the envoys to return to the capital to deploy, sell your good horses in Beiqi to those who know the goods, exchange them for silver, and then come to the market!"

"You ......"

"I said messenger, there are only a few days left for Mr. Li and the Meng family to hand over the order! When the time comes, I can also directly find Mr. Li to sit on the ground and start the price, maybe I can get an extra 20%! ”

The envoy of Beiqi was pale, but he had to admit that the Wang family was telling the truth. Midu wants Li Yan to follow, and if he wants to make more money, he has to market the goods from him.

When Midu received the news from the messenger, he was also furious, and threw a lot of things in the big tent, bluntly saying that the Central Plains people were insidious and cunning.

The henchman persuaded: "All deployed, let's come down first!" We are going to find someone to burn down Mr. Li's treasury tomorrow night, if the old man of the Wang family knows the news, I'm afraid, the lion will have to open his mouth and raise the price with us! ”

Midu's back molars grinded and gurgled: "Okay! You find a few people, pick a few horses, and go to a few horse dealers nearby to sell them. Remember, don't let the news slip out! ”

However, this time, Midu miscalculated.

Those good horses could not be sold at a high price from the horse merchants, and no matter how much they were tempted and coerced, they were only sold for a hundred taels of silver at the highest. In this way, the dozen or so good horses that were secretly brought out were only sold for less than two thousand taels of silver! In addition, the silver left over from the previous transaction with the Wang family is very different from the total price of the leather goods offered by the Wang family.

Not surprisingly, there was another crackle in Midu's big tent, and it fell into a mess.

However, the arrow was on the bow and had to be sent.

Midu can only smuggle most of the horses of Northern Deeds out for trade in the name of looting and spying. Of course, he specially instructed his subordinates to negotiate with the horses when trading, and these horses will definitely be redeemed again within half a month, and they cannot be traded with others.

Of course, in the middle of winter, when the horse market is already cleared, most horse dealers will wait until the spring is in full bloom to find a buyer for a good price.

Midu did this, although he felt that it was a superfluous move, but it was also just a peace of mind.

It's a pity that these Ji families have already greeted these horse merchants, and the horse merchants verbally agreed to the conditions of the Beiqi people, and as soon as they changed hands, more than 100 good horses fell into Lin Ruo's hands.
