309 - Scalping
came out of the grain meeting, and Shu Jiuchai also asked Wang Xiaolai whether this matter was just settled.
Wang Xiaolai, who hadn't gotten on the horse yet, turned around and said, "Otherwise, what else can I do?" Bring someone to smash the grain? It's good that Mrs. Liu is really willing to make a mess next, and she really smashed the grain meeting, how embarrassing it is to meet in the future, don't you say? โ
When he was with Wang Xiaolai, Shu Jiuchai was always too lazy to think about other questions, and when he heard Wang Xiaolai's analysis, he nodded and said, "It makes sense." โ
"Alright, get on the horse, let's go back."
After that, Wang Xiaolai stepped on the stirrup, dragged the saddle and got on the horse.
At this time, I heard Shu Jiuchai shouting again.
"Master, who do you think those two are? I look a little familiar. โ
Wang Xiaolai, who heard the voice, turned his head in surprise, looked in the direction of Shu Jiuchai's finger, and saw that in the wine wangzi across the street, two heads were aimed at from time to time.
Take a closer look, Wang Xiaolai is happy, isn't this Su Bailuo and the second stunned.
gave up getting on the horse at the moment, but gave an order, led Shu Jiuchai over, and left Hongxiang and Shen Xiping to lead the team to leave first.
"Ah, shopkeeper, your little husband seems to have discovered us!"
Jiu Wangzi was stunned and shouted in a low voice.
Su Bailuo's face turned red instantly, and she was about to scold the two stunned, but when she turned her head, wasn't it, Wang Xiaolai was walking towards her.
The second stunned and shyly said: "The big-breasted sister is also here." โ
Su Bailuo: "ยทยทยท"
"Stunned, hurry up and hide, don't be discovered."
Seeing Wang Xiaolai coming, Su Bailuo said with a shy appearance as a woman.
The second stunned was also wondering: "Why?" โ
"What do you care about so much, kid, hide it if you want it to hide."
"Why, we don't have any mistakes, what is there to hide."
The master and servant were arguing, and Wang Xiaolai and Shu Jiuchai had already arrived: "Hey, what a coincidence, we met here again." โ
Wang Xiaozi sat opposite Su Bailuo and said with a smile.
Su Bailuo couldn't sit still all of a sudden, looking at Wang Xiaolai, his mouth, which had always been able to speak, also stammered: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, good, what a coincidence." โ
Wang Xiaolai beckoned, called Xiao Er in Jiuwangzi, asked for some rice noodles and tea, and asked Su Bailuo with a smile: "This weather is the time when business is booming, you are not in Daxing City, why did you come to Longshou County?" It can't be that there are ruffians looking for trouble with the restaurant again, didn't you react to Lao Zhou about this? โ
Su Bailuo's head was already blank, and he said nervously: "No, there is no big brother Zhou who has helped a lot." โ
The second stunned man on the side took over the conversation and said: "You ask us, I also ask you, this point, what are you doing in Tai'an City, Longshou County?" โ
Wang Xiaolai shrugged his shoulders: "I am the governor of Longshou County, not in Longshou County, and I can still be in Daxing City, isn't it." โ
The second stunned pursed his lips and was speechless.
Su Bailuo finally adjusted, although his breathing was still a little short.
She looked at Wang Xiaolai, regained her composure, and became the experienced proprietress again, and asked softly when she found a topic: "Childe, I saw that the grain fair was very lively just now, what happened?" โ
The careless Wang Xiaolai didn't notice the change in Su Bailuo's name for himself, and sighed: "It's nothing, it's just some trivial things." โ
"A trifle?"
Wang Xiaolai hummed, then nodded and said.
Like how Zhang Guangai cheated himself and was found out, he brought someone to the door in person, the compromise made by Liu Taizhen, and so on.
After hearing the news, Su Bailuo smiled.
"Wang Gongzi, although I am not from this Longshou County, I have also heard a lot of news, do you know, why did Zhang Guangai buy you 80,000 Chen grain?"
"You don't have to think about it, treat me like an idiot." Wang Xiaolai didn't want to think about it.
Su Bailuo shook his head.
Wang Xiaolai looked at her: "What do you say." โ
Su Bailuo explained: "He Zhang Guangai sold you old grain, not because he had the intention of harming you, or rather, he inadvertently pitted you. โ
Wang Xiaolai: "??? โ
Su Bailuo smiled and said: "Actually, I also heard it, if Wang Gongzi thinks it is not credible, just listen to it as a joke." โ
Wang Xiaolai said: "It's okay for you to say." โ
Su Bailuo snorted and followed: "Of the three barbarian tribes in the south of Suiyang, there is a tribe called the mountain barbarians. โ
Wang Xiaolai didn't understand what Su Bailuo was doing suddenly, he was embarrassed to ask more, so he waited for Su Bailuo to say the following.
"Although the mountain barbarians also submit to the rule of Sui Yang, but this tribe lacks arable land, and the tribe is hungry for most of the year, if it weren't for the abundance of tobacco in the army among the mountain barbarians, Sui Yang officials would have given up on this tribe long ago..."
"Ask for a bean sack."
Wang Xiaolai directly called Su Bailuo: "What does this have to do with Zhang Guangai selling me Chen grain?" โ
Su Bailuo giggled: "Prince Wang, don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet." โ
Wang Xiaolai closed his mouth in amusement: "You continue to talk about the shopkeeper Su." โ
"The mountain barbarians are short-tempered, impulsive and warlike, especially in recent years, and they are even more separated from Sui Yang's officials, if it weren't for the fact that their tribe is really remote and dangerous, I am afraid that they would have been taken by Sui Yang long ago."
Wang Xiaolai poured himself a cup of tea and listened to Su Bailuo continue.
"It may be that today there is nothing to do about these barbarians, blocking the aid to the mountain barbarians, cutting off the contact with the mountain barbarians, and giving the mountain barbarians food aid every year, which is naturally gone..."
"How to solve the problem of a large amount of tobacco needed in the Sui Yang army?"
"Tobacco is not only found in mountain tribes, but also in the other two tribes, such as Sanhe and Wuxi, both have tobacco production, although it is not as much as that of mountain tribes, so good."
The words have been said so clearly, Wang Xiaolai probably figured out what was going on.
"Shopkeeper Su, do you mean that Zhang Guangai took the grain that should have been sold to me and sold it to the mountain barbarians in exchange for tobacco?" Wang Xiaolai asked tentatively.
Su Bailuo shrugged his shoulders: "Just now I heard the people in this wine hope discuss like this, and I think there is this possibility, after all, there is no wind and no waves." โ
Wang Xiaolai pinched his chin and remembered.
Only Shu Jiuchai, who often follows Wang Xiaolai, knows what Wang Xiaolai is thinking about in his eyes at this time.
Eighty percent of the kings came to fight the mountain barbarians again.
"Prince Wang, Prince Wang?"
Su Bailuo shouted twice.
Wang Xiaolai came back to his senses, hurriedly picked up the tea and took a sip, drank it clean and smiled: "Oh, it's okay, it's okay, then again, the shopkeeper Su, the two of us are really fateful, I didn't expect that we could all meet in Longshou County." โ
Su Bailuo's face was red.
"The shopkeeper of our family came to Longshou County on purpose."
The two people on the side were stunned and said quickly.
"Ahh What are you doing shopkeeper! โ
Without waiting for the second stunned person to finish speaking, Su Bailuo stepped on him hard below, and his eyes widened in an instant.
"Go, kid." Then, Su Bailuo turned his head and looked at Wang Xiaolai with a smile: "Wang Gongzi, don't listen to his nonsense, I came this time, I also know that Longshou County is a big grain producer, and I want to buy some grain at a low price, but I didn't expect to meet you." โ
Wang Xiaolai smiled and nodded.
The two talked about some things again, and after about half an hour, Wang Xiaolai stood up and retired.
Although Su Bailuo was a little reluctant, he still said goodbye with a smile.
Seeing the two leaving, a sentence suddenly popped out of Su Bailuo's mouth: "Second stunned, do you want to move the inn to Longshou County?" โ
The second stunned man stared at the round eyes: "Shopkeeper, what nonsense are you talking about?" We finally gained a firm foothold in Daxing City, how can we say that we can move! โ
Su Bailuo snorted and said: "You kid's family knows what a fart, the price and house in Daxing City are so expensive, we can't make a few dollars a month, it's better to move to Longshou County, so that we can save money." โ
"Phew, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, don't you just want to see your prince more, and what are you talking about so much." The two stunned showed no mercy.
Su Bailuo also blushed: "Don't talk nonsense, you don't want to see your big-breasted sister every day?" โ
The old man blushed, lowered his head, licked his lips and said with a smile: "I want to..."
The master and servant glanced at each other with contempt, and then they both smirked.
