Chapter 297: Untitled
Despite the relief of his old friend Blaise, Pulit was still uneasy, but at this time, he had no choice but to accept whatever the outcome.
"Alas, if you know today, why bother in the first place. I don't know how many times Plitt has felt remorse.
"Let me tell you, this year we have reclaimed thousands of acres of land in Wilderness City, except for remote places that are really not suitable for farming, almost all of them have become fertile farmland, hehe, I bought another thousand acres of land at a low price, seventy-seven-eighty-eight combined, our family also has 10,000 acres of fertile land, how can we say that we can also harvest 30,000 stone of grain a year. ”
"I should have mentioned to you, now we have stopped collecting this grain tax for a long time, and almost all of the 30,000 stone grain is mine, and now there are more and more business trips coming and going, and the price of grain has risen a lot, and one stone of grain costs more than three silver coins, and these fields also have a thousand gold coins a year, but this is only a small amount of money. ”
"His Royal Highness gave some quotas for tea and glass, and I got a caravan to run south, and I can earn thousands of gold coins in one trip, and it is stable to run twice a year. ”
......
Perhaps knowing Plitt's mood, Blaise quickly changed the subject, never mentioning it again, just kept chatting with him about the changes in Wilderness City and his life, many things could not be clearly explained in letters, Plitt listened to it with relish, of course, it would be better if there was no such deliberate show-off.
As the sky grew darker, Blaise ordered his men to prepare a sumptuous dinner for Pritt, only to be struck again.
Don't mention whether it's delicious or not, every dish doesn't look cheap, and the wine is also the best Wuliangye, roughly estimated, the cost of this dinner is at least calculated in gold coins, and it is by no means more than a single digit, he came in a hurry, Blaise definitely did not prepare in advance, so it means that this is still a specification that his family can put out at any time.
Halfway through the feast, Blaitze's son Harry finally came back from fooling around outside, and was scolded by his father, but looking at his indifferent look, he knew that he was usually scolded, and then asked Blaise for money with a hippie smile.
"Daddy, the money is gone, give me another hundred gold coins. ”
"Damn loser, didn't you just give you a hundred gold coins last month, why do you want more!" Blaise's face turned black instantly, the fat body trembled, and he naturally took out a money bag from his waist and threw it to Harry, I don't know what he thinks, he actually carries so many gold coins on his body at any time.
"It's not just a hundred gold coins, it's really not spent, if I don't save it, the effort will be gone in the blink of an eye, and the family can have so much income in the past two years, it's not all my credit. Harry looked smug.
At the beginning, because he offended Shaoyang, Blaise had contact with Shaoyang, and later there were indeed so many reasons for being able to take refuge in Shaoyang, with the family after the hair, Harry has always regarded this as a credit, Blaise is angry and laughing at this, plus he has already doted on this only son, and every time Harry has any requirements, he will try his best to meet them.
"Cough~" Pulit coughed, reminding the father and son who temporarily ignored their existence, a hundred gold coins, saving a little is enough for his family's basic expenses for a year, but it is only a month's pocket money, it is really more popular than people, even if he has been hit before, his heart is still hurt by tens of thousands of points at this time.
Blaise smiled awkwardly, forgetting that there were still guests in his son's anger, and hurriedly asked Harry to come over to greet him, "Stinky boy, don't come and see your Uncle Plitter soon." ”
Harry knew Prit, but he hadn't seen him for several years, and after a while, he remembered that this was his father's old friend, so he respectfully walked over and bowed and said hello, if nothing else, just for the pocket money every month, he had to be obedient.
"Hello Uncle Plitt!"
"Haha, I haven't seen you for several years, little Harry has become a big guy, come, this is a gift from your uncle. Pulit asked the attendant next to him to hold a gift box to Harry, which was a gift he had carefully selected before he came, worth ten gold coins, and the smile on his face froze when he thought of this.
When I came, I felt that I could get it, and I knew that Harry had a hundred gold coins for a month's pocket money, and I suddenly felt that I couldn't take it, but at this time, it was too late to redeem it, so I had to send it out.
"Thank you, uncle!" Harry didn't know the value of the gift, of course he wouldn't be dissatisfied, but there weren't too many surprises on his face, it was more real for him to buy gold coins, just buy whatever he wanted.
Harry was a master who couldn't sit still, and he ran away after a while, and Blaise didn't care, and the two of them ate and drank while talking, and the conversation ended for a long time, and at the end, both of them were drunk and unstable, and refused to let their subordinates help them, and walked to the bedroom with each other's shoulders.
"Old man, I really regret that I didn't listen to your advice in the first place, otherwise I wouldn't have fallen into such an embarrassing situation as I am now. The drunken Pulit collapsed in his heart, not only worried about the future, but also envious after seeing the development of the Blaise family.
"It's okay old man, for my sake, Your Highness will definitely not do anything to you, when the time comes, we will make a fortune together, other businesses are not easy to say for the time being, but it is definitely no problem to reclaim the land, I will go back and take a walk, let the Tuntian army go to Mihe City first." ”
Plitt's Tuntian matter has been told many times by Blaitt, and he knows a lot about it, and the benefits of it are even more clear, the territory of Mihe City is larger than that of Wilderness City, and even Blaise has 10,000 acres of farmland, so he won't be less than these when he says it, right? Even if he was dizzy from alcohol, Pulit still had a trace of joy in his heart.
"Then I'll rely on you to take care of me!"
"No problem, as long as you don't forget to sell me some land at a low price when the time comes. ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!"
"Okay, you'll live in this courtyard tonight, and I won't send you in, see you tomorrow morning. Blaise squinted his eyes and saw that he had reached his destination, so he asked his subordinates to come and help Pulit in, and he went back to his yard with the help of his subordinates.
When he was about to enter the bedroom, Pulit suddenly felt a cold wind blowing from his back, and the wine immediately woke up a lot, and he always felt that something was wrong, and the more he thought about it, the more headache he had, so he had to give up thinking and fall asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed.
Early the next morning, the two of them woke up almost drunk, and three days later was the day set by Shaoyang, and they didn't dare to delay, so they set off for Songhai City on the same day.
Pulit, who originally wanted to ride in his own carriage, was despised by Blaze again, and finally the two of them rode together in Blaize's new carriage, and before they had gone far, Pulit found that riding in this carriage was really a pleasure, and although a hundred gold coins were expensive, it was indeed worth it.
"How's it going? This carriage is comfortable, do you want one?" said Blaise temptingly.
"Yes, of course I think about it, I'm really fed up with those broken carriages, it's not just a hundred gold coins, I can still afford it, but I heard that the people who prescribe it are queuing up until next year, and I can't buy it if I want to, right?"
"That's just a rumor, I'll find a way to get one for you when I get to Songhai City, in fact, as long as fifty gold coins, the production capacity of the carriage will be increased in two months, and the price will be cheaper, we can get some quotas to sell in the future, think about it, even if you start with fifty gold coins, it is not a big problem to sell one hundred gold coins, and a carriage will earn fifty gold coins." ”
Pulit's eyes lit up, his family's income in a year is less than a thousand gold coins, selling a carriage can earn fifty gold coins, selling twenty cars in a year can exceed the family's income in a year, this business is done, looking at Blaitze's eyes immediately became different, this dead fat man really knows how to do business, no wonder the rich are oily.
"How?" Pulit decided to ask the other party for advice.
"Go back and wait for the Third Highness to meet with you, we will stay in Songhai City for a few more days, this matter is under the control of the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Industry, with the weight of our two city lords, they will still give some face, you can listen to me when the time comes, but first say it, when the quota is in hand, the two families will partner to do this business, I will account for sixty percent, you don't have to worry about the financial problem, I will solve it." ”
When he heard Blaise say that he wanted to account for sixty percent, Pulit was actually a little dissatisfied, the two of them were old friends, and their status was equal, why should the other party have two percent, but when the other party said that it would solve the financial problem, it meant that as long as he contributed without contributing, he could get forty percent of the income.
The cost of a carriage is also fifty gold coins, at least thousands of gold coins must be prepared for purchase at the beginning, and Pulit will have to break his muscles and bones if he wants to take it out, and the carriage will not be sold in a moment and a half, and even if it is sold, it will take funds to run in the future, and this money will not be able to be recovered in two or three years, Pulit suddenly feels how righteous Blaise is.
Blaise smiled hesitantly, secretly happy in his heart, friends are friends, but when it comes to gold coins, I can only say sorry to you.
Both of them are the lords of a city, and according to Blaitze's understanding, they can get a batch of carriages on credit first, so the so-called financial problem does not exist at all, and it is almost a business without capital, and they can also use Pulit's influence in Mihe City and the surrounding area to expand their business.
More importantly, after this cooperation, a new cooperation will be proposed in the future, and Pulit should not refuse, as the city lord of Mihe City, it should be very promising for Pulit to get a quota of some high-end commodities such as tea and glass in the future, and he will not be greedy at that time, as long as one or two achievements are enough, it will be a thousand gold coins in a year.
Blaise thought about it, this is not sorry for his friend, if it were not for his help, it would not be easy for Plitt to do these businesses, and it would not be too much to get some benefits, just like cultivating land.
If you don't help, the Northern Wilderness Territory is so big, and Mihe City is the farthest away, and when it is Mihe City's turn to Tuntian, it will be a year or two later, and the losses during this period will be several times more than the benefits you get.
"And what I told you about Tuntian last night, we have to go to the Ministry of Agriculture when we go back, and the family of the commander of the Tuntian Legion will also pay a visit. ”
"I don't understand this either, I'll have to trouble you then. ”
"Who called us old friends, wrapped around me. ”
Except for the two of them, the city lords of the sixteen cities of the Northern Wilderness Territory were almost all on the way to Songhai City, and most of them were as worried as yesterday's Plit, worried that Shaoyang would call them to clean them up this time, and their position as city lords might not be guaranteed, and even bring disaster to the family.
......
After returning to Songhai City, everything was handled by Xu Shu, and unlike when he was in White Emperor City, he had to deal with many powerful people who came to visit and make friends, Shaoyang's life became more leisurely.
In addition to cultivation every day, they wandered around, inspecting in the name of beauty, and then waiting for the news of Jiu'er from the Eagle Falcon, at this time, their group had just entered the territory of the Frost Empire, and there was still more than half of the Frost Temple located in the depths of the Extreme North Ice Field, and the news that came back every time was nothing more than what they saw and heard on the road.
However, the time for the eagle falcon to go back and forth is getting longer and longer, Shaoyang estimates that when it arrives at the Frost Temple, the time for the eagle falcon to fly one way is not ten days but seven or eight days, you must know that the new eagle falcon has the speed of a ninth-level flying demonic beast, or it flies in a straight line in the air, which has to walk on the ground, and it is possible to spend twice as much time.
After walking around the city, Shaoyang finally came to the government affairs hall, but he didn't come to deal with government affairs, but for someone.
The moment he stepped into the government affairs hall, Xu Shu thought that he had changed his sex, and felt very little joy, but when he saw that he had found a place to sit far away, he refused to take a step closer to those official documents, and suddenly understood that it was not as he imagined, his face instantly darkened, and he buried his head again in reviewing the official documents, ignoring Shaoyang's arrival.
Shaoyang looked at Xu Shu's work, and was glad that he had a system and summoned generals, this is just a few cities, so many things, if you really have to deal with it yourself, you won't be tired, and he doesn't dare to let go of power like this if he is someone else, only the summoned generals who are absolutely loyal to themselves can rest assured.
"Yuan Zhi, how about the disciple I found for you?" Shaoyang didn't know about Xu Shu's change in mind just now, and after a while, he was relieved that Xu Shu didn't pay attention to himself, and suddenly felt bored, so he had to take the initiative to open his mouth to attract his attention.
At this time, Xu Shu raised his head again, and seemed to be very satisfied with what Shaoyang said about the disciple, with a pleased smile on his face, "Talented, intelligent, and more importantly, diligent and studious, it is possible to take over all my work in less than three years." ”
The disciple Shaoyang found for Xu Shu was none other than Cao Chong, with the help of the winner's guards, he quickly recaptured Cao's Restaurant, and the specific process was not paid much attention to because Jiu'er left, and Shaoyang only knew that he had set a trap to lure those greedy clan uncles into the urn, owed thousands of gold coins, and had to take out Cao's Restaurant and other family businesses to pay off the debt.
From beginning to end, they didn't know that Cao Chong was manipulating behind the scenes, and Cao Chong didn't kill them all, it was impossible for them to maintain their original lives after losing those family businesses, but as long as they were willing to work hard to support their families, it was still not a problem.
When he returned to Songhai City this time, Shaoyang brought Cao Chong back, and after the end of the day's deliberations, he sent it to Xu Shu, and after some tests, he successfully apprenticed.
