Kui sent back his first letter after leaving Taozhou.

Shi Miru got the treasure, and when he and Shen Xincheng opened it together, it was a small note only two fingers wide, with two words on it: "Peace." ”

"Of course you are safe! Otherwise, Longyou can live so peacefully!? Lao Tzu wants to know what to do next! How to spend so much money! "Shen Xincheng has been in the northwest for a long time, and he has been soaking in the mining field every day, eating and living with those miners, and he has long learned the rough dialect of the northwest, and he is no longer the honest scholar he was back then.

The weather is getting colder, and the temperature under the water is already extremely cold. Shen Xincheng shivered when he stepped on his own foot, and immediately announced that this winter's mining would end here.

This trip back to Taozhou, not only Shen Xincheng himself, but also Ling Yisui of Lintao County and the two big cars of Taoyan stone billets mined in the past few months. Originally, the carving of Tao Yan should have been completed in Lintao, but Yi County Ling felt that it was not safe:

"Since it is to be charged with military salaries, then it is time to ask the envoy to allocate it uniformly. The carving and sale also requires a convenient place for carriages and horses, and a prosperous place. Lintao is still a little worse, and now is the time to ask for money, so don't care about the place. Just ask Shen Tui to work harder. When the time comes, it will be good if the account books are matched. ”

Originally, it was planned to sell it after the carving was completed, but who knew that there would be too many businessmen in the world. Those who came from the wind, asked someone to bring a letter, and even made seventeen or eighteen turns, so that they could say that they asked Shen Xincheng's subordinates to show mercy, and there were more people who only sold the inkstone than they wanted to buy the finished product.

At this moment, Shen Xincheng's profiteer nature is vividly brought into play, no matter who it is, it is all pushed: "This is not good." One is that I have invited so many inkstone masters, I can't raise them in vain; Second, if there is one more carving, I will have to charge an extra amount of money, which His Majesty himself wants to pay for the army. If I am showing favoritism, it will be a violation of Your Majesty's national law. I don't want to do this headless thing, and the money doesn't get into my pocket! ”

Some wanted to stuff him with money, but he drove him out. The rest understood, and someone immediately proposed: "I only need the inkstone, but I will carve two pieces of money for you." But how to carve, you can't care about me. ”

Shen Xincheng pretended to hesitate again: "The proprietor's house of the mine in front of him has been copied, and there are not a few pieces of Tao Yan outside." If you want to carve it yourself, then you have to be careful, in case you break the taboo, I can't eat and walk around. ”

The man's chest was beating: "Even if I sell in the future, I will definitely record the buyer clearly." In short, chasing to the root, it will definitely not let you carry the black pot. ”

Shen Xincheng "hesitated" for another three days, forcing all the businessmen to jump up and promise. He took out a booklet, not to mention the detailed records of all the weights, patterns, shapes, etc., and also found master painters to draw them, and asked all the merchants who bought inkstones to write down the eight generations of their ancestors, and then he put away the booklet with satisfaction.

The inkstone was also sold at a price of 4,000 to 4,500 per side. After deducting the labor on the mine and the monthly income of the carving masters who were raised for nothing, in these two months alone, the net income of the Lintao treasury was 300,000 yuan - this was also deducted by Shen Xincheng early and half of the inkstone was not sold.

Shi Mi was puzzled: "In fact, the military salary of 300,000 guan is not much. How did those inkstones not all sell? ”

Shen Xincheng glanced at Yi County's order, who was sitting on the side, coughed, and asked rhetorically: "The envoy is in Taozhou, is it only this battle?" Do you want to leave when you're done? Didn't you say that you would guard Taozhou for Your Majesty for ten years? ”

Decade!?

Wouldn't that make you embarrassed until you resign and return to old age?!

Yi Xianling nodded again and again with joy, and put his heart in his heart: "Envoy, after this battle, the people's livelihood must be withered, and money will be used in all directions." By that time, the battle has already been fought, will the capital continue to allocate funds to us? When the time comes, the local government will reach out to you, what should you do?

"Although Xia Guan doesn't know how to do business, he knows that everything on the market is rare and expensive. This time, seventy or eighty pieces of inkstone have been released, and it's okay. If you do more, the price will go down.

"When this battle is over, those carved inkstones will be quietly shot. At that time, we would open a few pieces of engraved inkstones to sell and publicize the benefits. Playing the sad card, presumably, this price can go up a few more points......"

Shen Xincheng laughed and reached out to pat Yi Xianling's shoulder: "Where is Yi Mingfu who doesn't know how to do business?" Your little abacus is crackling, and it's clearly better than me! ”

Shi Mi was open-minded and smiled: "This is the best!" In the future, I will rely more on Yi Ming Mansion! ”

Yi Xianling was satisfied, and rushed back to Lintao overnight - he still had half of the inkstone in his library, and he had to go and look at it.

However, then, Shi Mi and Shen Xincheng looked at the 300,000 yuan and became worried.

When you don't have money, you look forward to it, but when you have money, you don't know how to spend it.

In particular, Kui Cangyu is not there, and Shen Hao is not there.

Therefore, Shen Hao received Kui Cangyu's letter and Shen Xincheng's letter in Qinzhou, and it was only half a day before and after.

"Mr. Kui has already contacted all the people who should be contacted, and Uncle Gongye's allocation of grain and grass must be easier. In particular, Taozhou has already sent a gift of 300,000 yuan, I think, you should have a feeling of having a lot of money, right? ”

Shen Hao turned the sandalwood in his hand and teased Gong Yeshi.

Gongye Shi stared at Shen Xincheng's letter for a long time before he took a long breath and came out: "How did they do it?!" 300,000 times! It's just over two months! ”

"Don't be emotional. Uncle Gongye is down to business. Oh yes, the money in River State, not a penny. Yun Sheng's case was tried like that, Lin Yuanjun was fooling a big fool? Regarding the empty salary of the Tiancheng Army, haven't the two uncles already reported that they want to cut off a few heads? Let's talk about it after chopping. ”

After Shen Hao finished speaking, he got up and wanted to leave. Shen Xinzhao asked her to go home for lunch today, saying that Shen Dian and they were all going back together, and she couldn't be late.

"Jingzhi, what are you waiting for?" Gongye Shi felt that Shen Hao didn't seem to be waiting for the conclusion of the two cases, but seemed to be preparing to do something else.

Shen Hao smiled: "Didn't you quietly inform my cousin Zhu Rin in Lanzhou to be on guard?" I'm just like you, and I'm waiting for what you're waiting for. ”

Gong Yeshi, who was wearing a wide robe and big sleeves and a high hat, stared at Shen Hao for a while, and Fang sighed softly: "Jingzhi, the way you look now, exactly like your father." ”

Shen Hao smiled, raised his hand to say goodbye, turned around and walked away quickly.

"Envoy, there is news from Hezhou, Ganzhou, and Liangzhou."

Gong Yeshi withdrew his gaze from Shen Hao's back, snorted, and reached out to take the news from Hezhou first.

Although Qin Lang is in Ganzhou, he is not worried about Ganzhou.

He worries about River State.

He was waiting for Hezhou's attitude: whether to obey or rebel. Can't find the latest chapter of a book you want to read? cough cough cough, it's not a thing, I recommend a public account, there is a young lady here to help you find the latest chapters, and chat with you!
