Chapter 33: I'll Go to Dongying with You
Tsutsu Taishou squinted his eyes and stood with his hands in his hands, his face indifferent.
I thought in my heart that after the death of the father-in-law, someone would pay him to buy an official, and 500 taels of silver would be properly obtained, and the person surnamed Liang had driven the economy here, which was his positive achievement.
Guo Taishou brushed his goat nonsense.
"That person surnamed Liang cooperated with the Northern Liang people, and even the imperial court didn't dare to offend the Northern Liang people, are you going to ruin our future?"
Cui Dagongzi gritted his teeth and said.
"It's all the harm of the surnamed Liang, it was he who instructed the people of Beiliang to kill my family, and I must avenge this revenge."
Guo Taishou squinted his eyes and glanced at Cui Dagongzi, and snorted coldly in a strange manner.
"It's okay to take revenge, you are a lieutenant under me, and you have not made less money over the years, expanding your brother's sugar workshop, and crushing him in business, if he has no money in his hands, the people of Beiliang will not give him any more backing, whether it is to break the corpse or break the bones and scatter ashes, then don't you want to do whatever you want."
Cui Dagongzi is a martial artist, not only fierce and violent, but also more vicious and treacherous than his younger brother.
He knew that this old man would not help him, and letting him defeat Liang Xiao in business was a sentence to tease him.
But what he wants is this sentence, even if Liang Xiao is rich, he is not afraid, he has power and force in his hands, and he can unite all abnormal practices and defeat Liang Xiao together.
Cui Dagongzi's wishful thinking is indeed not wrong.
Liang Xiao's money is based on sugar and wine.
However, the production cycle of wine is long, and it is impossible to change it into silver immediately, which is very labor-intensive and costly.
Now Youzhou City is large and small, and there are hundreds of sugar workshops, and the financial strength of these people can completely surpass Liang Xiao.
As long as the price is lowered together and sold at cost price, Liang Xiao is unprofitable, Liang Xiao has raised so many workers, the cost is astronomical, and if he doesn't make money, he will sit empty, and it won't take more than two months to bankrupt Liang Xiao.
The status of the merchants under the feudal system is not high, who dares to offend the son-in-law of Taishou.
In just a few days, Bantang fell from the original 150 wen to 100 wen a piece.
100 wen a piece is the cost of labor, and all workshops are unprofitable.
Tie Liang ran to Ding Ning in a panic and panted.
"Big brother, it's not good, Mr. Cui's dog's day, forced all the sugar workshops to reduce the price, and now we can't even make labor money."
Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"Since that's the case, then we'll drop it to 50 yuan."
"What, isn't that just selling for money? Big brother, you're not kidding, are you? Tie Liang's eyes widened like copper bells, and he raised his voice in disbelief.
"When did the eldest brother joke with you, you take someone to keep an eye on it, and then tell me when all the sugar factories in Youzhou are almost closed." Liang Xiao said lightly.
Tie Liang looked confused, he couldn't understand why the eldest brother was so calm when he burned so much money?
Even Ling Niang and Hua Zeji looked at each other, and they couldn't understand why Liang Xiao was like this.
After that, Liang Xiao had to go into his private blacksmith shop every day.
The blacksmith shop was built up at the back with a large iron lock on the door.
Two strong men guarded day and night, and no one was allowed to approach.
No one knows what he's tinkering with in it.
Cui Dagongzi never thought that Liang Xiao would dare to lose money to fight him, wouldn't he die faster?
He firmly believes that they have more people and more money, and their strength is stronger than Ding Ding, and they will definitely be able to shut down Liang Xiao's workshop in the end.
So he gathered the shopkeepers of all the workshops and pressed the price to 50 yuan a piece.
Almost all the shopkeepers scolded Cui Dagongzi in their hearts for giving birth to a son without an asshole.
Tie Liang had to go out to investigate every day, and some small workshops that were not strong closed down in less than 10 days.
Liang Xiao is not having a good time, his workers are almost thousands, although in ancient times they were also paid monthly wages.
However, many of the workers under Liang Xiao were poor people, and more than half of them advanced to him in advance.
When such a thing happened, many workers were at a loss in their hearts, fearing that Liang Xiao's big workshop would close down, and many people sighed and began to slack off.
Ling Niang said to Liang Xiao with a bitter little face with great worry.
"Husband, although we are very rich, we will lose all the money if we continue like this, and now the workers are afraid, and they will not get paid in the end, you go and see."
Hanazawa Ji glanced at Ling Niang from the side, and a playful smile was hooked at the corner of her mouth.
"What are you laughing at?" Liang Xiao asked angrily.
"I laugh at her for being worried, laughing at her for not knowing you, what's the point of losing everything? Even if you lose it all, you can still earn it back. ”
Liang Xiao snorted coldly.
"Do you think you know me? How could I possibly lose? Fight me, they're dead. ”
Hua Zeji pursed her red lips and raised her thin eyebrows.
"Shopkeeper Liang, I admit that you are very smart, but don't forget, you are now on the run, and you are on the third of an acre of land in other people's homes, as the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, I think you should not be so confident."
"Do you want to bet with me?" Liang Xiao looked directly at Hua Zeji, Dongying was famously rich and rich, and he began to fight the idea of this rich woman in his heart.
"Okay, I'm like to gamble, let's say, what to bet on?" Hua Zeji pinched her waist and said without showing weakness.
"If I lose, I'll give you 10,000 taels of gold, and if I win, you'll have to bring me 3,000 horses, 3,000 sets of armor, and 3,000 weapons from Dongying."
A sly look flashed in Hanazawa Hime's eyes.
"This princess doesn't care about your two little money, if you lose, I want people to don't want money, you go back to Dongying with me to be a colt, how about it, dare to bet?"
Ling Niang was so nervous that her face turned white, she didn't want Liang Xiao to go to Dongying.
Secretly pulled Liang Xiao's sleeve with his little hand and signaled Liang Xiao not to gamble.
How could this little action escape Hanazawa Ji's eyes, and mocked contemptuously.
"Ling Niang, are you afraid that I won't give money if I lose the bet?" After finishing speaking, he gently clapped his hands twice.
Whoosh!
More than a dozen Dongying warriors emerged from the shadows, bowed down, and said in Dongying dialect.
"What does the princess command?"
"If I lose the bet, you will immediately bring me 3,000 war horses, 3,000 sets of armor and 3,000 weapons from Dongying."
"Hey!"
After a dozen or so Dongying samurai agreed in unison, they disappeared like ghosts.
Liang Xiao has long known that there will be Dongying samurai secretly protecting Hanazawa Hime, and he will definitely not play if Hanazawa Ji loses.
So he nodded in response.
"Okay, I also bet with you, and if I lose, I'll go to Dongying with you."
