Chapter 146: A war of words caused by the quilt
No matter how skillfully Li Siye raised the question of buying and selling to Lai Yao, the other party always pretended to be stupid and blocked the problem back, which really made his little heart angry.
"Du Hu, humbly ask, where did the armor of our 20,000 athletes in Anxi come from?"
"Of course, I know that there is an ordnance supervisor under the imperial court's young government superintendent, who is responsible for supervising the manufacture of armor and weapons, and then storing them in the arsenal. Later, the imperial court set up major military towns, and the Jiedu envoys could recruit troops on their own, and the required armor was allocated by the Jiedu envoys from the rent of the military towns to purchase from the arsenal. ”
Lai Yao Duhu finally came back to his senses, glared at the big eyes and said angrily: "Good you Li Siye!" You dare to do the business of the protector of the city, and you dare to make money from the court!"
Xiao Ting stood aside, not letting go of the opportunity of this blow, and said lightly: "Li Siye, as a guard and capture envoy, privately summoned military households to cultivate fields, plant cotton, and make cotton clothes and quilts with the intention of selling them, doesn't this regard him as the treasury of the young government eunuch?" As a guard under Anxi's rule, he actually started the business of the capital protection mansion, how ambitious is it?"
Li Siye glanced sideways at Xiao Ting, who was a member of the military service, and thought in his heart that I have no grievances with you, how can you give me a good look in person, do I have a conflict with you?
Although Lai Yao was angry that Li Siye wanted to do his business, he did not exaggerate his sins, but just stretched out his hand and stood up, pointed at his head and shouted: "You and grandma really dare to think about it!" How dare you mention it! Blatantly getting rich! For the sake of you providing me with cotton clothes and quilts for Anxi soldiers, I will write down your head for the time being!"
Li Siye had no intention of repenting at all, and said with a bitter face: "I did this for myself, but for the sake of Leng Ling, and even more for Anxi."
Xiao Ting smiled coldly beside him, he had never seen anyone talk so justifiably about making a fortune in business.
"It's really incorruptible and shameful, unheard of, but you can tell me how to think about it for the sake of the green mountains."
Li Siye straightened his chest and said to Xiao Ting: Xiao joined the army, how old is the oldest soldier in Congling, and how old is the youngest soldier? I don't know, I'll tell you!"
"The old man of the Green Ridge soldier has a white beard, and the young one is already twenty or three, and the father and son soldiers are two generations of people fighting together, only people are buried in the loess in this place, and no one is willing to come to become a guard and catch the child, isn't it because of the cold land, life is hard? The most bitter people in the Tang Dynasty are the Anxi soldiers, and the most bitter people in the Anxi soldiers are the green ridge guards. The predecessor of the guard caught gout, and only because there was no medicine in Langzhong, he died in office. After death, there is only one thin wooden coffin, and three pulp and one lamp have been confessed to life!"
Li Siye's words were excited, his voice was high-pitched, and his expression seemed to be depressed. He has been guarding Anxi for decades, and he has the most affection for the soldiers under his command, and when he heard Li Siye complain like this, his eyes were slightly red and his true temperament moved.
He sighed and said, "Green Ridge is indeed a little more bitter than other places in Anxi, but what does this have to do with your money?"
"Du Hu, this is just to introduce a source of living water for the old and young masters who are guarding the green ridge and form a rule. They are already miserable enough, if they can't improve their living conditions, who wants to come to Green Ridge? The city walls were in disrepair and needed to be repaired, and the thatched huts built by the military families leaked in winter and rained in summer. The soldiers of Qiuzi could go to the wine shop to drink Sanle pulp, drink Guanzhong liquor, and drink wine, but the men of Congling had to rush to drink even a bottle of Sanle pulp filled with soil and mixed with water. Shule's soldiers can also go to the kiln...... Ahem, in order to make these cotton and quilts, they took out the little net worth they had left, in short, they wanted to improve their lives. ”
"Nonsense." Xiao Ting snorted heavily, and hurriedly crossed his hands towards Lai Yao and said, "Don't be misled by this person, he just wants to chase business profits and fill his pockets!" Is the bitter cold of the green mountains an excuse for you to make profits? I, the Anxi Protectorate, have provided you with grain and grass and paid for it! If it's like this! Shall we cut off your pay and let you spend your own money to buy food?"
"That's right!" Lai Yao suddenly came back to his senses, pointed at Li Siye and said angrily: "Okay, you Li Siye, I almost fooled you!" The Anxi Protectorate has supplied you with grain and grass for so many years, and now you are offering some quilts and jackets, you dare to ask me for money! ”
"I'll tell you, Li Siye! You're going to get me 10,000 quilts and jackets this winter! Send it to the turtles, or Bendu will take your head! ”
Sure enough, it was Xiucai who met the soldiers, and they couldn't explain it clearly, and these military men were not reasonable at all. He also wants to turn the green ridge into a cotton planting base, but now it is good, if he does not get a return, the production enthusiasm of the military households in the green ridge will soon be interrupted, who is willing to plant cotton, his money will not be recovered, and this time he will definitely lose a bloody loss.
Of course, Li Siye refused to suffer such a big loss like this, and he must recover the loss, he bowed his head and crossed his hands and said: "10,000 sets of quilts, it is difficult to do it, but there are only 500 acres of land in the Green Mountains, and an adult man can only play ** catties of cotton a day, and a lady can only sew a cotton dress a day." We worked for two months to make 2,000 sets of quilts and 500 sets of cotton clothes, and I am afraid that we will not be able to meet the supply of the soldiers. ”
Xiao Ting sneered and continued to mend the knife: "You're not afraid of dedicating all of this to Duhu, you can't recover the capital, right?" How can such a selfish person be credulous? Du Hu, the humble post suggested that I personally lead a group to the Green Ridge, monitor all the military households, and also control the existing quilts and cotton jackets, and ensure that all the quilts are transported to Qiuzi one by one. ”
Li Siye glared at each other, this Xiao Ting was so anxious to pull his hatred for Mao? What bad things have I done to make him hate me like this?
"Protect it! If Li Siye was a selfish person, he could have concealed the Duhufu and sold these quilts to past business travelers, but we didn't do so, because we were worried about the well-being of the 20,000 athletes in Anxi, and even more worried about the safety of hundreds of people in Anxi! The inheritance is a sincere heart, and heaven and man can learn from it! ”
"If some people don't believe me, they can go to the garment factory in the city of Qiuzi and ask how long it takes to make a padded jacket. Duhu and lowly cannot supply all the quilts and cotton jackets of the Anxi Army, but they can reduce the price of sheepskin jackets and wool quilts in the market. ”
"Oh?" Gao Xianzhi, who was sitting in front of the desk, was just beside him with cold eyes, but suddenly asked, "What method, let's hear it." ”
Finally, someone was willing to take the initiative to inquire and express interest, and Li Siye immediately faced Gao Xianzhi and said: "The lowly will bring 2,000 pieces of cotton clothes and cotton jackets from the Green Ridge, 1,000 pieces will be supplied to the Duhu Mansion, and 1,000 pieces will be sold at the cost price of sheepskin jackets and woolen quilts in the Qiuzi market, and a price war will be fought, so that the sheepskin jackets in the hands of unscrupulous traders cannot be sold, and can only be sold at a lower price." ”
"No!" Xiao Ting smiled gloomily: "At the end of the day, you still have to do business!" You don't need to worry about the sheepskin wool in the market, you just need to give a lot of the quilt and jacket in your hand. ”
Lai Yao stood on the floor and walked around twice, then turned around after thinking for a moment and said, "Okay, Li Siye, just do as you say, there are two thousand pieces of cotton jackets and quilts, how much does one cost?" ”
Li Siye saw that there was a door, and hurriedly said: "The cost is three hundred yuan." ”
Lai Du Hu laughed: "Your cost is cut in half, one hundred and fifty yuan." How many pieces you send, how much money will be paid to you in the account of the Protectorate. Another 1,000 pieces can be sold at a lower price in the market of Qiuzi, and you must not let me down. ”
Li Siye was dumbfounded, this price is really ruthless! He suspected that he didn't belong to this world, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to have such a precise positioning.
Xiao Ting also stood aside in disbelief, he really didn't expect that Lai Duhu would agree to this person's request, this Li Siye, really not a person under the people, can make waves in a remote place like the Green Mountains!
