As he spoke, the blue-clothed peddler was about to step inside, but he didn't watch out for being dragged by the previous man in green clothes, "Hey, little brother, the price here is low, since you have the goods, it is better to go to Yao Ji to have a look, the purchase price there is much higher than here, Yao Ji is our landlord, and it is safe to sell it to him, to ensure the safety of your people and goods." ”

"This big brother, don't be fooled, the blue-clothed vendor wiped his sweat, I went to Yao Ji as soon as I entered Shuoyang, and the sign there clearly said two hundred and seventy-two taels ......"

"That's Yao Ji hasn't changed his brand today!" The big man in Tsing Yi said, "If you don't believe it, just wait, and Yao Ji's new card will be hung out in a while!" ”

"That's it!" Someone in the crowd chimed in, "You have already come to Shuoyang, and it is not too late for this hour, if Yao Ji does not raise the price, it will not be too late for you to come here again......"

"This ......," the blue-clad vendor hesitated.

Seeing that someone was blatantly robbing business, the doorkeeper's face turned red, and he grabbed the blue-clothed vendor, "As the saying goes, the shadow of a person's famous tree, Li Ji, you don't know it?" The leading family of the Great Zhou, Xinyi definitely didn't say it! The voice unconsciously rose an octave, faintly tinged with a hint of anger.

"I heard that the eldest prince of Li was imprisoned not long ago, and since the death of Master Gu, the Li family's business has plummeted, but is there such a thing?" Seeing that the gatekeeper dragged himself inside, the blue-clothed vendor asked unwillingly.

The doorkeeper's face turned black for a while, and he said angrily, "Are you here to sell sandalwood or to come to the door to find a fork?" ”

The blue-clothed peddler shuddered, "Of course I'm here to sell sandalwood." As he spoke, he didn't give up and looked at the man in Tsing Yi.

"Two hundred and eighteen taels, one hand of silver and one hand of goods!" Seeing that the blue-clothed vendor was hesitant, Xue Yong, who rushed out after hearing the news, opened his mouth and said, with a smile on his face.

That's a real starting price on the spot!

Unexpectedly, the goods in his hand rose by three taels of silver, and the blue-clothed hawker was overjoyed for a while, and nodded again and again, "Sell." Sell, sell! ”

After saying a few things to sell, he raised his feet and followed Xue Yong inside.

"Hey, little brother, you really haven't seen ......" Seeing that he really wanted to sell the goods to the Li family. Someone in the crowd shouted, "This Shuoyang's sandalwood is a few prices a day, I regret selling it early, since you have the goods in your hand, it is better to wait, maybe Yao Ji will rise to three hundred taels in a while." ”

Who doesn't want to earn money?

Hearing this, the little guy in blue hesitated for a while and wanted to turn around and leave. Seeing Xue Yong frowning, he smiled and said, "Five thousand catties of sandalwood, three hundred taels and one catties, will Li Ji accept it?" ”

What a step in the eye!

Xue Yong's face turned black for a while, and he glanced at the courtyard, "Immediately four big men came out, and surrounded the blue-clothed hawkers." ”

The blue-clad vendor's face turned pale. Just as he was about to say goodbye, he heard someone behind him shout, "What?" Li Kee wants to bully others, but has he ever been forced to buy and sell? ”

Then someone shouted, "In this Shuoyang realm, it's not who has a loud name who is tough, what is important here is freedom of business and fair competition, don't be afraid, little brother, we can all testify, who dares to move your finger, we will immediately accompany you to the prefect's yamen!" ”

I was frightened by a few big men. The little guy in blue was originally worried that Li Ji would bully people, and he didn't give money for his goods, but when he heard that someone behind him was supporting him, as soon as he turned around, seven men faintly flashed out of the crowd, staring at them menacingly.

The little guy in blue felt light. He wiped his sweat and smiled at Xue Yong, "I'll take a look...... I'll take a look at it again. As he spoke, he trembled and withdrew from the gate of Lai Kee.

Seeing that the little guy in blue was intercepted by Yao Ji's people, Xue Yong was stunned.

It's really a tiger falling into Pingchuan being bullied by dogs!

No matter how powerful the Li family is, how can they help Yao Ji, a local snake, collude with the government!

……

“…… What the? After listening to the little guy's report, Yao Shixing was taken aback, "Five thousand catties? Three hundred taels? "Three five five fifteen, this shot is one and a half million taels, which made Yao Shixing tremble, his face turned slightly pale, "It's all at this time, how can so much sandalwood suddenly appear?" ”

According to his estimates, as early as about two hundred taels, there was no more sandalwood on the market.

"It was shipped from Puyang......" the messenger wiped his sweat, "I heard that the price of this side was high, so someone took the opportunity to take advantage of it, and the servant heard from the vendor that he collected these spices from Puyang for 221 catties." ”

Puyang!

The green tendons on Yao Shixing's forehead jumped a few times, he originally thought that Puyang was far away from the great cause, there was no sandalwood and there was a powerful cadre of the British king, and the Li family would never receive spices from there, so he was not afraid, he didn't calculate that the merchants of Puyang would come to Shuoyang to intervene.

With such a high price, once there is a mistake, his Yao family will be bankrupt in an instant, not to mention, the Liu family will also lose money. Hearing the news suddenly, Yao Shixing, who has been sitting firmly on the Diaoyu Islands since the start of the sandalwood price war, couldn't help but tremble at this time.

Just thinking about it, the housekeeper Yao Fu knocked on the door and came in, "Master......" He shouted, saw someone in the house, and immediately shut up again.

Yao Shixing waved his hands to both sides, "You guys go down...... Seeing everyone retreat in a hurry, Yao Fudao asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Master Li has secretly come to the great cause."

Li Jun?

Yao Shixing's spirit was shocked, and slowly, his face became flushed little by little, and he muttered, "He has come to a great cause?" Hearing the news, for a while, Yao Shixing didn't know what it was like, happy, or hateful.

"Yes...... Yao Fu's eyes sparkled, "I heard that he left the great cause on the twentieth day of the first month, and he traveled day and night, and arrived in Shuoyang in less than ten days." Hehe smiled, "It can be seen that he is really in a hurry!" ”

"You say......" Seeing Yao Fu's burning words, Yao Shixing actually had a feeling of unreality, "...... What is he here for? ”

"It must be for sandalwood!" Without thinking about it, Yao Fu blurted out.

On the twentieth day of the first month, according to the day, the Li family should have just received the holy decree.

"For sandalwood? Did he come to buy sandalwood in person? Yao Shixing asked again, still, he said to himself in his heart, "...... He wants to take Jin'er back? Thinking of his daughter, he felt a tingling in his heart.

"What else do you need to say?" Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Yao Fu nod affirmatively, "The orders for 10 million Buddha incense have all fallen to the Li family, and he can't do it if he doesn't bow his head!" ”

"But ......," Yao Shixing shook his head, "I always have a feeling of unsteadyness." ”

“…… Why do you think so much? Yao Fu said, "You have also seen the samples sent by the Li family, more than a dozen varieties, which one has sandalwood, without our supply, will he still conjure sandalwood out of thin air?" Thinking of something, he said, "Master Qi has calculated, according to the detailed order of housekeeping and the samples from the Li family, the Li family needs at least 28,000 catties of sandalwood this time......

"However, we have swallowed 70,000 catties of sandalwood so far......," Yao Shixing was irritable for a while, "Now there are 5,000 catties on the market!" He looked up at Yao Fu, "You say, do we dare to accept it?" ”

"This ......" Yao Fu hesitated for a while, and said, "The slave just went to the account room, Mr. Liu calculated an account, and now we have a total of 13,000 catties of sandalwood in the back warehouse, with a total price of 115,000 taels, if we collect this batch of sandalwood according to 300 taels, the total price will reach 8,115,000 taels, and the cost will be 120,000 taels on average, according to the original estimate, 300,100 catties will be sold to the Li family for 28,000 catties, which is 8.4 million taels, and the surplus is about 300,000 taels......" After a pause, Yao Fu changed the topic, "On the surface, we don't make much money, but, After all, I earned nearly 40,000 catties of sandalwood. ”

As soon as Mr. Liu heard that a large number of sandalwood had come from Puyang, and the price was called to three hundred taels by the Li family, Yao Fu went to him to settle the account and see if he could continue to eat.

Don't look at the price of sandalwood rose sharply, seeing that it reached three hundred taels, but Yao Shixing started early, before the holy decree, he began to quietly hoard sandalwood as soon as he received the secret report of the British king, the price of sandalwood at that time was only two taels of silver, with his power in Shuoyang in a few days to hoard more than 20,000 catties, as soon as he received the holy decree, he began to increase the price, while Li He was still confused, and sent Yao Jin to use a spice field in the western suburbs to exhaust Li He's funds, during this period, he received 10,000 catties of sandalwood one after another, and the average price did not exceed 30 taels of silver, Later, seeing the price of sandalwood soaring, it was just that he and Li He were empty there, and there were more than 20,000 catties of sandalwood on the market at that time, all of which he paid a high price for, so that in the end, the average price of sandalwood in Yao's library was not very high, but about 100 taels, far lower than the purchase price on the market.

Before today, Yao Shixing was still very confident in this batch of sandalwood, and according to his estimates, he could earn at least two or three million taels of silver from one hand.

He was dreaming of raising the price with Li He little by little, ready to raise it to three hundred taels and make a move, but he didn't want to, as soon as the market opened today, five thousand catties of sandalwood appeared out of thin air, and the average price of his inventory was pulled up at once, how could he not be shocked.

It is said that he is fighting fiercely, but Yao Shixing is a businessman after all, and he is a businessman who does not do anything.

Subconsciously, he didn't want to take such a big risk to make a bird for the British King.

It's not to give his daughter a breath, sincerely, he doesn't want to fight against the Li family like this, as the saying goes, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, if he really offends ruthlessly, the Li family will not fall for a day, it will be his Yao Shixing's nightmare for a day.

After all, Li Jun is a once-in-a-century genius, and the Liu family and the Huangpu family have been fighting together for two years, but they can't help them, not to mention his little Yao family?

Thinking about it, Yao Shixing shook his head with a sigh, "It is said that I have earned thirty or forty thousand catties of sandalwood, once the price falls, it will only be a few hundred thousand taels of silver, and the cost of investing millions will only make hundreds of thousands of taels in the end......" The voice was silent for a long time, and he sighed, "It's not worth it......"

The tone was faintly intimidating.

"Then ......" Yao Fu thought about it seriously, "we don't want this batch of goods?" ”

"Three hundred taels and one catty, even if it is taken by Li He, the Li family will also lose their money!" Yao Shixing frowned and groaned, "After deducting these five thousand catties, the Li family still needs at least twenty-three thousand catties of sandalwood...... It's not a decimal number......"

He is still stuck in the throat of the Li family! (To be continued.)
