Mu Jiu grabbed the reins and said to Lin Changsheng, "Changsheng, I remember that you once checked the Ji family, and you should find out that there is a forest farm here in the Ji family!" ”

Lin Changsheng rode chasing the wind and walked side by side with Mu Jiu, "Well, but you didn't ask me." ”

Mu Jiu: "......"

Next, Lin Changsheng told Mu Jiu how many forest farms the Ji family had in the town, and also told Mu Jiu that the Ji family had a wood processing factory in the town, and a lot of wood was shipped to Qizhou after it was processed.

Therefore, the cart of wood that I encountered on the road just now is probably not from the Ji family.

The Ji family is dominant, but there is more than one furniture factory in Qizhou, but the other capital is not as strong as the Ji family, and the sales are not as wide as the Ji family.

Mu Jiu suddenly came to his heart, "Changsheng, we will also open a furniture factory when we go back, I remember the most fashionable furniture appearance in the capital, I will draw it, you change it again, we will definitely be able to rob the Ji family's business, maybe we can destroy the Ji family." ”

"You!" Lin Changsheng smiled, "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, wait a little longer." ”

"I didn't!" She hated to destroy the Ji family all the time to comfort the soul in the sky who sacrificed her brother, but she was definitely not in a hurry.

A group of men rode fast and arrived in town before dark.

Every household in this town does wood processing, in addition, there are two taverns and an inn, probably outsiders often come, the inn is quite large, very clean, but, it is ridiculously expensive, the inn for one night in Qizhou is only twenty Wen, but here for one night, the minimum is three hundred Wen.

Exclusive business, you can only live here!

The food is even more flattering, but the other two small restaurants are not open at night, and can only eat in the inn. I don't know how the cook cooks, the good wild pheasant is so boiled that it can't be chewed, and it's so salty that it's hard to swallow.

Lin Changsheng borrowed the kitchen from the shopkeeper, paid for the ingredients, pulled Mu Jiu into the kitchen, and personally fried two side dishes, only to reluctantly coax Mu Jiu to eat a bowl of rice.

The people of the Yamanai squad also stayed at this inn.

After the meal, they secretly knocked on the door of Mu Jiu's room.

A group of people gathered around and spoke as low as possible in their voices.

"Master, before I came, Ming Yi drew me a map of the distribution of the Ji family's forest farms here, and we also found out that the Ji family accounts for one-fifth of the number of forest farms here, the Yan family accounts for one-fifth, the Guo family accounts for one-fifth, and the other two-fifths are from some furniture factories, and the nearby villagers have no ownership at all."

No matter what the era, there are always no resources in the hands of civilians.

The Yan family? Yan Shisong's Yan family! The Guo family is Guo Buping!

Mu Jiu asked the members of the Yamanai team to indicate the distribution of each forest farm on the map.

Mu Jiu pointed out a place, "This is the Ji family's forest farm?" ”

Team member Yamanai raised his hand, "It's not just here, it's here...... It's all from the Ji family. ”

Looking at the picture, Mu Jiu and Lin Changsheng discussed it for a while and had an idea.

Early the next morning, the Yamanai team left the inn and pretended to be a timber merchant to find out.

Mu Jiu pretended not to know them, and a group of people ignored each other.

While Lin Changsheng went to the kitchen to cook, Mu Jiu walked to the counter of the shopkeeper and chatted with the shopkeeper.

In business, there are few people who are not human spirits, and after saying a few words to the shopkeeper, you can see that Mu Jiu is here to inquire about the news, and his shrewd eyes rolled several times before he said very seriously, "Girl, please don't be embarrassed, there are old and young ...... below."

Mu Jiu took out a silver ingot, to say the least, there were ten taels.

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he stared straight at the silver, "If the girl has anything to ask, she must know everything and say everything." ”

"Do all the people who come into town to buy timber live with you?" Mu Jiu asked.

"It's not me bragging, no one in the town can open an inn except me!" The shopkeeper boasted, "Only I can control the field here, and the others can only do carpentry, which is exhausting!" ”

Mu Jiu was puzzled, "Why?" ”

Shopkeeper: "My brother-in-law is the mayor of the town!" ”

Mu Jiu: "......"

This is the case, who comes to buy timber, who doesn't have some money on them, there are mountains everywhere, and a bandit robbed the money and hid in the mountains, and basically no one can catch it.

The mayor's family can naturally live in this side of the inn, and this town is uncertain.

The shopkeeper said again, "Girl, I would like to remind you that you had better not leave this inn, in case something happens, don't blame me for not reminding you." ”

"What could happen?" Mu Jiu probably guessed.

The shopkeeper was worried about Mu Jiu's silver, glanced around, and the thief approached Mu Jiu and whispered, "Don't you know, there are many fugitives who have nowhere to escape and hide here, working for those wood processing factories, in case the people from the government chase them, they will hide in the mountains."

Usually no one from the government comes to arrest them, they occasionally make trouble, especially a little girl like you, the nearby villages have all moved away, and they dare not live! ”

"If I don't give you money, won't you tell me this?" Mu Jiu's expression turned cold, maybe the shopkeeper also participated.

"Nope! No! Absolutely nothing! My brother-in-law is the mayor of the town, so how could I do anything to be in cahoots with a fugitive! Absolutely nothing! ”

A mayor who allows fugitives to roam freely in their town, which is also called decency?

"Are there more or fewer people coming to your town to buy timber lately than ever before?" Mu Jiu continued to ask, and the silver shook in front of the shopkeeper.

"Many! Naturally, it's a lot! "When the shopkeeper saw the silver, he came to his senses.

"Are they all buying wood? No one will come to buy medicinal herbs? ”

The shopkeeper sneered, "Girl, helping the forest farm owner cut wood is fifty wen a day, and collecting medicinal materials can't make much money a day, not to mention that most people don't know medicinal materials, and they don't know how to pick them if they want to." ”

That's right, Mu Jiu: "Then do you know the people of the Ji family?" Qizhou Ji family? ”

The shopkeeper was puzzled, thinking that Mu Jiu wanted to buy the wood of the Ji family, so he shook his head again and again, "Girl, I advise you to buy the wood of several other houses, the Ji family is not easy to mess with, the wood of the Ji family is never sold out, and it is kept in their own furniture factory." ”

"Thank you shopkeeper, do you have a relationship with the Ji family?"

The shopkeeper was shocked, "You really want to buy the wood of the Ji family!" Let me tell you girl, the Ji family is a demon who eats people and does not spit out bones, it is better for you to have less contact with them, you really want to buy wood, go to the processing factory next door to my restaurant, they will give you a fair price. ”

Mu Jiuxin said: Go next door to you, you are their childcare, bring one over and they will pay you a commission!

However, it can be known from the shopkeeper's mouth that the Ji family has a bad reputation in this vicinity.

Come to think of it, their own furniture factory needs a lot of wood every year, and it is not enough to sell it for themselves, so they need to sell it out.

Mu Jiu: "What about the Guo family?" Are the people of the Guo family good at talking? ”

The shopkeeper stared at the silver in Mu Jiu's hand, and felt that this silver was not so easy to earn, "I said girl, who are you, why do you ask so much?" ”

Mu Jiu naturally said the reason he had thought of a long time ago, "Naturally, I bought wood, otherwise why would I come to this place, if you want something to eat, if you want to live comfortably, if you want nothing!" ”

"But why are you asking so much!" The shopkeeper is on guard.

"Shopkeeper, I'll tell you the truth, I'm new to the industry. I have a cousin who sells furniture in the north, and every year he brings in some furniture from the south, and he and I put together a sum of money, and he gives me a sum of money to make furniture here, and he takes it there for him to sell, and the money is divided equally.

You say that my cousin trusts me so much, I can't just buy wood without asking anything, in case it is expensive, wouldn't I be very sorry for my cousin? ”

The shopkeeper relaxed a lot, but he was still vigilant, "I just said that the wood next door to me can, and you don't believe it, although their wood is not the best, it is the most cost-effective, you don't lose money when you buy it, you can't be fooled." ”

Mu Jiu: "......"

This classic advertising slogan has come out, dare to say that it is not childcare!

"Shopkeeper, I'll give you money next door, I always want to pull me there." Mu Jiu was very patient.

The shopkeeper was very cunning, "Guess if you don't tell me, what do you want to do, girl?" ”

"I'll go back and shop around, go and look at other wood processing factories to see if it's really as you said, it's so good next door, but I always feel that big families like the Ji family and the Guo family have a better reputation, so they won't cheat people."

The shopkeeper snorted with contempt, and he didn't know whether he despised Mu Jiu or the Ji family or the Guo family.

"Good reputation? That's to the merchants outside, and the two families are the harshest on the workers! Especially the Ji family! Someone died last year, and he refused to pay for the funeral! I took pity on the orphans and widows of that family, and later it was the co-workers who pooled the money together to bury the people. ”

This is the second time that Mu Jiu has heard his dissatisfaction with the Ji family in the mouth of the shopkeeper, "What about the Yan family?" I heard that the Yan family used to be the prefect! ”

The shopkeeper looked at Mu Jiu questioningly, "Girl, I don't know how many hurtful things Yan Shisong has done!" Fortunately, there was a girl who came last year, what is it called...... Mu Jiu's, fight Yan Shisong and kill him, otherwise, at this time, I don't know how many forest farms will fall into the hands of their family, and how many people will be forced to lose the capital to survive. ”

Mu Jiuxin said that you are not very good, which person from other places has not been blackmailed by you!

It's not a good room, three hundred wen a night, it's not much better than grabbing.

"Hearing so much from you, I feel like I can't buy this wood yet, what should I do?"

The shopkeeper grinned, "What should I do?" If your mother-in-law dislikes you and lets you take a concubine, won't the money you earn help you raise a concubine in vain? ”

Mu Jiu: "......"

Heart-piercing!

But this makes surprising sense!

Fortunately, "My father-in-law will not take a concubine." ”

The shopkeeper smiled sheepishly, "Girl, don't believe me, how can there be a cat in the world who doesn't steal, and how can there be a man who doesn't want to take a concubine?" ”
