CHAPTER XXXI

Wang Wenwu invited the master at home, set up a few tables at home, and invited Shu Jinxi's classmates to have a meal.

At the end of the month, all the arrested students were released, and Liu Qingyang declared the struggle over. In this struggle, most of the students bought tickets to Beijing at their own expense, and Guo Longzhen, Zhang Ruoming, Zheng Shuliu, Zhou Zhilian, Zhang Sijing, Wang Tianlin, Wu Ruiyan and other female teachers and classmates lived in Shu Jinxi's house.

At first, the female teacher and classmate had to pay their own money to start a gang, but Wang Wenwu resolutely did not agree, she was Shu Jinxi's female teacher classmate, and she also petitioned the government when she entered Beijing. Wang Wenwu was really reluctant in the end, and each person gave a piece of silver dollars for food.

At the beginning of September, Shu Jinxi and other female teachers and classmates returned to Tianjin in batches. Not long after Shu Jinxi and other petitioning students left BJ, at the end of the month, because the Beiyang government did not punish the Shandong warlord Ma Liang, but instead made Ma Liang intensify and continue to suppress the Shandong patriotic movement.

Shu Jinxi wrote a letter to Wang Wenwu, asking Wang Wenwu to take in the ten delegates sent by Tianjin. Wang Wenwu still let everyone live in the backyard, there is an independent exit in the backyard, and Wang Wenwu is not afraid of the military and police coming to him.

Wang Wenwu took advantage of the chaos on the street to go out of the city and go to Zhangjiakou to see if he could sell the rifles he had entered.

Wang Wenwu hired two wagons, piled grain on the boxes loaded with guns, and followed the familiar convoy to Zhangjiakou.

Because he didn't know what the market was in Zhangjiakou, Wang Wenwu only brought 70 guns, but the grain was quickly sold through the introduction of the team manager, and no one could eat 70 guns in one bite, so they could only sell them piecemeal.

On this day, Steward Liu brought two people, pointed to the first one and said to Wang Wenwu: "Master Wu, this is the second master, who is also famous in Zhangjiakou, the second master pulled up a stick man, and there is a shortage of guns. ”

The second master said: "Brother, we don't spare the circle, I heard that you have a batch of guns, I want them all." ”

Wang Wenwu said: "Second master, you are magnificent, my seventy Manlixia are all authentic European goods, but I also said in advance, I am not a new gun, but at least seventy percent of them are new, the new gun costs fifty silver dollars, my old forty silver dollars a hand, and I will give you sixty rounds of ammunition, what do you think." ”

"The old gun you talked about, why do you need forty silver dollars, and the new Hanyang made will cost forty or fifty silver dollars"

"Didn't I say it before, although it is an old gun, but I am a European product, all shipped from Europe, the freight is expensive, it took half a year to arrive in China at sea, you also said that it was made in Hanyang, I can compare this authentic European goods?"

"Okay, but I'm going to look at the gun first."

Wang Wenwu said: "Please come with me,"

Wang Wenwu put the gun in the inn room where he lived, and Wang Wenwu took the lead and went to the room.

Wang Wenwu pulled out a box of rifles from under the bed, a box of ten. The second master skillfully tested the gun, and he tried every gun tirelessly. It wasn't until he was sure that the gun was okay that he said:

"Okay, I'll ask for them all, but I only have eight hundred silver dollars, and I'll make up the rest with seven boxes of Dian soil."

Although Wang Wenwu didn't know the price of seven boxes of Yunnan soil, he earned only eight hundred silver dollars, not to mention seven boxes of Yunnan soil.

Wang Wenwu got up and said, "Then let's pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other." ”

The second master said: "Okay, I have 800 silver dollars, which is considered a fixed amount, and later, my people will send the land of Yunnan." ”

The one who had been following the second master took off the burden from his body, and after the eight silver dollars were in front of Wang Wenwu, he turned around and went out.

Wang Wenwu counted out the silver dollar and said to the second master: "Okay, second master, I have received your fixed money today, I don't know when your tobacco will be delivered." ”

The second master said: "Didn't you see just now, did my brother bring you tobacco and soil!" ”

"Then I, Wang Wenwu, am here, please have a drink."

"Well said."

Wang Wenwu and his entourage ordered a table at the inn and sat together.

Wang Wenwu picked up his glass and said to the second master: "Thanks to the introduction of Steward Liu, I, Wang Wenwu, can be a hero like the second master, and I will have a cup for you." ”

The second master also picked up the wine glass and said: "I also want to thank Steward Liu for his introduction, I met Master Wu, so I can buy a guy so quickly." With that, he drained the wine from the glass.

Steward Liu didn't even dare to say, he didn't dare, and when he saw the second master's empty cup, he hurriedly filled it with wine.

The second master said to Wang Wenwu: "Brother, I won't tell you, brother, I have pulled up more than 100 people, but there are few guns, I don't know if my brother can get 30 guns?" ”

"Second master, I won't hide it from you, I came into a warehouse with a thousand guns, and there were only seventy left, and I didn't know the market before, so I didn't leave much, but the second master, you want thirty guns, which is a bit less, not enough for a warehouse."

"A thousand guns, but I don't have so many people!"

"Second master, do you think this is okay!"

"Master Wu, you say."

"Second master, look at this, I will buy the guns in a warehouse at the price of thirty-seven silver dollars each, I don't care how much you sell, what do you think,"

"Thirty silver dollars each, a little less,"

"No, I not only have to ship it back, but also to Zhangjiakou, this price is not low,"

"I've entered so much at once, and you're a lot."

"If you use silver dollars, you can have as little as thirty-five silver dollars."

"Aren't you embarrassed for me, where did I get so many silver dollars."

"I'm originally selling arms, and you still need me to sell tobacco and soil to get money, of course it's a little more expensive. Besides, it takes almost half a year to ship arms from Europe, and you may be able to pull it up! ”

The second master smiled and waved his hand, this is the first to go out and come back.

Wang Wenwu asked someone to check whether it was Yunnan soil, and after confirming, the second master pulled away all seventy guns, and Wang Wenwu received seven boxes of Yunnan soil into the room.

When the second master left, Wang Wenwu said to him: "You can ask, does anyone still want a gun, there is news that you asked Steward Liu to bring it to me, if it is sold, I will send you two boxes of bullets." ”

The second master said with a smile: "That relationship is good, there is news, I will ask Steward Liu to tell you, okay, let's go." ”

Wang Wenwu and Steward Liu stood at the door of the inn to say goodbye, and Wang Wenwu said, "Bandits! ”

"Well, bandits, this second master, it's not simple, there are more than 100 people just pulling up the people, plus your gun, tsk."

"Then you're not afraid that he will rob you!"

"Without you, do you think he won't be able to get a gun, and I'm here to stay."

"Do you want guns?"

"You still have?"

"Yes, at BJ, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back if I don't say I can get him guns and bullets."

"Aren't you going to come when he asks for a gun again?"

"I'm afraid that he will kill people and kill his mouth, so when you come to deliver it, I want him to give the money first, and I am giving the goods,"

"Okay, you just give the money, when are you leaving."

"Tomorrow, can you give me some skin, after all, I've come to Zhangjiakou,"

"How much do you want,"

"Eight hundred silver dollars,"

"Then you should go to Gongji, Xinyide, Hengxingyi, Hengxingyuan and other workshops to have a look, and then we will go back together."

"Then you can help me,"

"Just this once,"

"Thank you so much, let's go and have fun in the evening!"

"Okay, at night, let's have fun!"
