"How many people do you want to make our big ship, so let's make a number. Renting a ship is a big deal, and we have a big ship that can accommodate 1,800 people. If it's just you, we won't be able to carry other guests. For such a large boat, let's not talk about labor, let's talk about the previous expenses, but it's a big number. We don't solicit customers, we always have to charge some costs to come back. ”

Peony said while secretly observing the expressions on the faces of several people, she saw that Hua Lan's face was calm and unchanged, and saw that King Shou'an did not say anything, and she was even more sure of the judgment in her heart.

She saw that the most powerful person among these people was this handsome and unparalleled young man, so she said to Hua Lan with a sweet smile: "The son wants to take a boat, and the risk on the Canglang River is great." There are always water monsters at work these days. Ordinary big ships and small boats are afraid to drive. We took a few people, and we were also at risk. Childe always has to tell the truth, so let's have an arrangement here? ”

Hua Lan understood what King Shou'an meant, which was to cross the Canglang River with the guards.

One thousand taels of silver per person, plus horses, that's a huge amount.

She saw that this Feng Dahu was going to catch the gold lord and knock it hard, so she beckoned to Hua San.

Hua San came over, Hua Lan whispered a few words, Hua San nodded and walked out of the flower hall, out of Feng's mansion, and went outside to inquire about the price of the Feng family's hired boat.

The area of Hengqiu Town is not small, but the power of the Feng family is not small. Hua San asked some people, and when he mentioned the Feng family's big ship, they all shook their heads and didn't dare to talk, so they avoided it from afar, and Hua San almost found nothing.

It seems that this matter cannot be inquired about in the sight of the town.

Hua San secretly made up his mind, and was about to find a few hidden people's homes, so he quietly knocked on the door and entered.

I saw a fast horse coming from the direction of the east of the town, and immediately held a person, who was a handsome man with beggars in Tianhe.

Shi Jingyun saw Hua San, reined in the reins of the horse, turned over and dismounted, and asked Hua San: "Where is the playboy man?" ”

Hua San hurriedly told the truth: "The front is the Canglang River, and the young man is in trouble." The matter of hiring a ship is being discussed in the Feng family's mansion. The Feng family opened a large price, asking for 1,000 taels of silver per person. This is not the young man's request for me to come to the town to inquire about the price of the Feng family's boat.

I heard that there are water monsters in the Canglang River, and they can't pass without the Feng family's big boat. If you detour to the county seat of Surabaya County, the trip will take a few more days. ”

Hua San understood what he said, and Shi Jingyun nodded: "I have also inquired about this matter." The Feng family's big boat is not something that ordinary people can sit on, they also look at the price of people. In fact, a thousand taels of silver is not too high, but the minimum of fifty taels is not something that no one has ever multiplied. Okay, I'll go with you to see the dude, or I can help. ”

Shi Jingyun was not in a hurry, but when he heard that there was a water monster on the Canglang River, he hurried to catch up with Hua Lan at night.

Hua Sanyi listened, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.

There is a great difference between a thousand taels of silver and fifty taels of silver.

So he hurriedly brought Shi Jingyun to see Hua Lan.

As soon as Hua San left, Hua Lan found an excuse to drag Feng Dahu and his little concubine Peony.

Hua Lan saw that Hua San brought Shi Jingyun over, and greeted her overjoyedly: "It turned out to be Brother Shi, it's really good." Hua is worried about crossing the Canglang River, and you are just right to come. ”

She hurriedly introduced to Feng Dahu: "This is my big brother of the clan, you might as well say something." ”

Shi Jingyun bowed his hand: "In the Lower Stone Pavilion, Feng Gongzi has long been famous, and if you see it today, it is better to meet if you are really famous." Feng Gongzi is really elegant and extraordinary. ”

Shi Jingyun was afraid of a few sycophants, Feng Dahu was naturally happy, everyone sat down again, and asked Hua Lan: "The playboy is here at the moment, right?" Now, can you talk about the price of a charter boat? ”

Hua Lan glanced at Shi Yun.

Shi Jingyun hurriedly said: "I heard that the big ship of Feng Gongzi's family costs fifty taels of silver per person, I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

When Shi Jingyun opened his mouth, he first gave Feng Dahu a pouting and straight to the point, and there was no way to retreat.

The peony on the side has always been extremely shrewd, and when he heard this, he secretly screamed badly, and hurriedly said: "Fifty taels of silver? Childe was right, but that was the price on weekdays. Now Childe also knows that there is a water monster in the Canglang River, and our big ships and laborers are all at risk. Our 1,000 taels of silver is not much for one person. The windy weather is also at this price. It's different at the moment, if you don't get it right, we're in danger of even taking the boat with people. ”

"Gee, that's hard."

Shi Jingyun deliberately frowned, he didn't look at the concubine, but at King Shou'an, who was staring indifferently in the distance: "Do you really want to go to the Canglang River?" Is it really going to be such a rush on the schedule? The water monster of the Canglang River is very powerful, and crossing the river is also dangerous. Isn't this thousand taels of silver too expensive for one person, how many people are there in total? ”

Shi Jingyun asked King Shou'an to calculate the number of people quoted at the price of fifty taels of silver per person.

As soon as you get on the boat, how many people can't hide it, instead of having more pimples on your heart, it is better to put it on the table and explain it clearly.

Shi Jingyun's words dispelled his worries, and he saw that Hua Lan didn't say anything, so he said, "There are a hundred of us, and there are a total of one and six people plus Brother Shi." Everyone had horses, and only the Playboy Four had a carriage. ”

Shi Jingyun nodded, and began to deliberately count his fingers: "If each person is fifty taels of silver, one hundred and six people is five thousand three hundred taels of silver." ”

He asked Hua Lan again: "Dude, how much silver do we have?" ”

"Huh?"

Shi Jingyun is counting, and Hua Lan is also counting, but she also counts horses and carriages.

Feng Dahu said that horses and people are the same, counting one thousand taels of silver, even if it is fifty taels, this adds up to ten thousand six hundred taels of silver. What's more, this carriage is not counted.

She was surprised, Feng Dahu almost didn't get angry.

Good guys, more than 100 people, 1,000 taels of silver per person, not counting the horse, it also costs more than 100,000 taels of silver. Combined with the horses and carriages, this is more than 200,000 taels of silver. Why, when this Shi Gongzi came, he didn't even count 10,000 taels of silver?

His big boat, because the price is too high, has not made much money these days. Although the Feng family does not refer to the ferry to earn silver. But the feeling of being cheated in this life made him very unhappy in his heart, and his face immediately darkened: "Shi Gongzi is joking, right?" Five thousand three hundred taels of silver, but you can't sit on the Feng family's big ship. If the prince really takes the boat, the horses must be counted, and the carriage must be counted. A horse-drawn carriage is no simpler than a man and a horse. ”

Shi Jingyun smiled secretly: "Oh, if you add a horse? ”

He pretended to pinch his fingers again and counted, "One hundred and two horses, fifty taels is five thousand and one hundred taels, plus one hundred taels of carriages, there are also five thousand two hundred taels and five thousand three hundred taels if you count them?" ”

He suddenly looked at Hua Lan in surprise, and his eyes flashed: "Dude, can you have 150,000 taels of silver tickets in your hand?" Could these be too much? ”

Hua Lan immediately responded and sighed: "Don't hide it from Brother Shi, Hua only brought 10,000 taels of silver tickets when he came out." It's not that I spent 3,000 taels on the road, and I only have more than 6,000 taels in my hand at the moment. And you have to hurry, so you can't spend it all. ”

She looked at Feng Dahu with an embarrassed expression: "Feng Gongzi, we are sincerely here to discuss the matter of chartering a ship with you." Do you think you can be accommodating and let us rent a boat for six thousand taels of silver? ”

More than 200,000 taels of silver shrank to 1,500 taels, and now only 6,000 taels of silver remain?

Feng Dahu was so angry that his stomach bulged. He just slipped out of his mouth in a hurry, and he fell into the trap of Shi Jingyun and Hua Lan. At this moment, it was too late to retract his words, and his face turned the color of pig liver.

Seeing this, Peony on the side hurriedly said with an angry smile: "Is Childe really only more than two thousand taels of silver?" Looking at a hosta on the child's head, it is worth millions of taels of silver. Fifty-two people was the current price when there were no water monsters, but now there are many water monsters. The average big ship also costs sixty taels of silver on weekdays, and we collect fifty taels, but there is no such imperial calendar. The big ships on weekdays have all stopped, and no one wants to put their lives in the mouth of the water monster, right? ”

As she spoke, she secretly observed her words, but unfortunately Hua Lan had already made up her mind to lower the price, and naturally she couldn't see anything on her face.

Peony didn't give up, and said: "Now there is no ferry boat in the Canglang River, and Gongzi has so many people?" The risk we take is human life. Fifty taels of silver, this is not an option. If Gongzi is willing to be sincere, or if there is really no silver, it is not impossible to go around the county seat of Surabaya County. At most, let's not do the business of the son. ”

Peony took the risk of taking Hua Lan's army, and she saw that Hua Lan was eager to rent a boat.

As soon as she said this, Feng Dahu immediately responded: "If the son doesn't pay 1,000 taels of silver, the son will not be able to rent today's ship." ”
