Chapter Eighty-Three: Wu Youliang, the head of the horse line
Qiu Lao Qi's people are really not polite at all.
The steel knife was directly on the neck and drove Liu Ming out.
Liu Ming, who had a sad face, could only squat outside the gate of the village.
At this time, Qiu Lao Qi in the village changed his face again, and said with a smile: "Old brother, let's drink, don't hurt the harmony for his business."
Xie An was a little embarrassed, picked up the wine and drank a few glasses with him, and said casually: "Brother Qiu, if you really like it, I will give you a hundred catties of each next year, how about it?"
"That's a good feeling!"
Qiu Laoqi rubbed his hands excitedly: "It's still that the elder brother feels sorry for his younger brother, and the younger brother has been keeping the wine, just to wait for the elder brother to drink first, and the brothers in the village have never drunk it."
"Okay, okay," Xie An waved his hand, and said with an embarrassed expression, "Let's get down to business, this year's river transportation is still the old rule?"
The main river leading to the other four counties of Dongcheng, in this section of the river, there are several stockades.
Among them, the strongest is naturally Qiu Laoqi's crazy knife village.
All the freight on this river, every time the Cao Gang's boat passes, Qiu Laoqi can get half a tael of silver.
But in the same way, if the Cao Gang's boat was robbed in this section of the river, Qiu Lao Qi had to get someone to snatch the goods back and return them to the Cao Gang.
Similar to protection fees.
In fact, he is also the cow, ghost, snake and god who must be dotted on this river.
In the face of Xie An's inquiry, Qiu Laoqi waved his hand and said, "Hey, drink and drink, let's talk about it later."
Hearing this, Xie An's heart chuckled.
In previous years, Qiu Laoqi readily agreed, but this year, he is not happy.
I don't know what the reason is.
With a sense of unease in his heart, Xie An picked up the wine glass again and drank it.
After drinking a little, suddenly a little brother brought in a dried animal.
"Come, taste my new sika deer."
Qiu Laoqi directly stabbed his thigh, and handed it to Xie An.
Xie An only took a bite, and immediately frowned slightly.
The heat is very poor, the meat is as old as firewood, only some coarse salt is sprinkled on the surface, there is no other seasoning, the blood is not cleaned, and the fishy smell in the meat chokes the throat.
In Liu Ji, he was used to eating Liu Guanshan's skewers, and now that he eats this venison, he really can't swallow it.
But he frowned, but said, "Yes, I haven't eaten this flavor of game yet, it's quite authentic and delicious."
Qiu Laoqi immediately laughed, happy like a child, and cut a large piece of venison for him, and said, "Eat more if it's delicious, my old brother."
Xie An endured it and swallowed the venison piece by piece.
After drinking a meal, Qiu Laoqi drank more than a pound of brandy by himself, and then fell asleep on the table.
Xie An was also dizzy from drinking.
He gently pushed Qiu Lao Qi, and the other party waved his hand and said in a daze, "Don't ...... Don't touch me......
Qiu Laoqi was drunk......
Xie An sighed heavily, stood up on the table, and staggered out.
What he wanted to talk about the most was the protection money of the Cao Gang.
However, Qiu Laoqi was very drunk, and he definitely couldn't talk about it today.
However, just as he walked out of the main village, Qiu Laoqi suddenly opened his eyes.
Sneered, looked at Xie An's remaining wine, and said, "Do you still want to pass by with half a tael of silver? Do you call Lao Tzu a flower child?"
Xie An, who walked out of the gate, looked at Liu Ming, who was squatting on the side of the road with a bitter face, and said in surprise, "What are you doing here? Why don't you sit in the carriage?"
"Hey...... I want to talk to him for nothing."
Liu Ming was quite disappointed.
"Let's go, let's get in the carriage, let's go back."
Xie An was also depressed.
Not getting a positive reply always made him feel uneasy.
After arriving at Liu Kee Restaurant, Xie An went directly to his house.
Two hours later, he came out again with a red face.
The depression on his face was swept away.
After coming out, he went straight to Liu Ming and said, "Is your house still for sale?"
"Sell, of course sell."
Liu Ming replied without even thinking about it.
"I have a friend who wants to buy one too, you know."
Xie An smiled, his eyebrows kept shaking up and down: "In terms of price, can it be cheaper?"
Liu Ming raised a finger: "The lowest price, it's still for your sake, others, I won't give this price."
Originally, Xie An had misunderstood, thinking that a house was three hundred taels.
Liu Ming now quoted a hundred taels, he was naturally very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Good brother, it's really a face-saving for the old brother."
After that, he got into the carriage and went directly back to Dongcheng.
Liu Ming also blossomed.
The cost of the exchange price was one hundred taels.
If he returns to modern times, he will definitely be able to ascend to the position of a rising star in the industry with such profits.
Unbeknownst to him, Xie An came back two hours later.
Not only him, but also a man and a woman in the car.
The man was dressed in a power suit, his long hair was combed into a ponytail, and there was a piece of jade on his forehead.
There's a bit of a ranger vibe.
The woman's smile is like a flower, and between her gestures, she all exudes seductive charm.
Come to think of it, which Qinglou woman is it?
Liu Ming sighed a little, and didn't know what to call it.
Peng Yuanguan suddenly rushed out, and hurriedly said, "Little Liu Ji Peng Yuanguan, meet Ma Xingwu Daguan!"
As soon as he reminded him, Liu Ming immediately remembered.
This man actually came with Xie An when he opened, and he was a big official of Wu Daguan.
Wu Daguan's real name is Wu Youliang, and he claims to be the queen of the gate.
Of course, he didn't say which general, and no one dared to ask him.
In the entire ten counties of Dongcheng, all horse-related businesses have to listen to him.
For example, the carriage in Mingyang County has to be paid to him every year, otherwise the horse will get sick or die, and he won't want to buy a new horse.
Not only that, even the Eastern Army outside Wuyang County, the war horses are also supplied by him.
Like Xie An, he is also a big man at the head of the industry.
But unlike Xie An, this guy is a jinshi.
According to the law of Mushan, the top 40 in the first class of the imperial examination, in addition to the champion list, are Jinshi.
Jinshi can be divided into at least one head.
But Wu Daguan's current session was extremely unlucky.
There are a total of sixteen cities in Mushan, each with a minimum of ten counties and a maximum of twenty or thirty counties.
But in his term, there was neither the chief female offender, nor the chief to return to his hometown.
The first 39 people have all been assigned real positions, but he, the 40th place, has no official to do.
As a result, he was not assigned a real position, and he had no official position.
Later, the new king of Mushan ascended to the great treasure and completely forgot about him.
In a fit of anger, he no longer mentioned the matter of being an official, ran from Mushan City to Dongcheng, and began to do horse business.
Maybe he reads a lot of books, he understands the truth of resource monetization very well.
During his twelve years as an officer, he made many connections.
Later, he entered the horse business, and these connections helped him a lot.
His business is getting bigger and bigger.
Accidentally, it was made into a line.
