"Buy a few more steamed buns and make a pot of old wine. When you're full, I'll take you to cut the material for winter clothes. ”

Xu smiled bitterly and handed over two strings of copper coins.

"Don't worry, the wine must be old enough."

Liang Xiuer responded and was discharged from the hospital with a basket. The slender waist swung and disappeared into the alley.

"The gentleman who came to the outer city to enclose the land has not returned, and I am afraid that the little Oiran will cause trouble."

Wei Hongluan said worriedly, and grabbed a handful of peanuts for Xu Ku, which were newly planed in the yard in the past few days, and they were very tender.

Playing old wine is a code word, which means asking Liang Xiu'er to go to the city guard Xu Qian to bring a message to Zhuangzi in the old Beikou.

Almost through the dark alleys of the outer city.

The shed has been erected, if it weren't for the lack of wood, Xu Ku estimated that he could directly build a small pavilion.

Since Yuan Hong's old gang was wiped out, the position of the head of this outer city has been vacated, attracting many forces to fight.

It is also inconvenient for the old guys behind him to come forward directly, they all sent their own second ancestors, and most of them are concubines.

For a few shops, betting brawls are not new. Tossed the outer city into a miasma.

"Lives are all fought for. Taking some risks is also to gain a foothold in Chai Youyou, and to take in those who can't just be kind. ”

"The Qing Pavilion woman understands the most sophisticated people."

Xu said bitterly, and easily refilled Wei Hongluan's water.

Although the tea cup sent by Xiao Dezi is not as exquisite as in the palace, it is already a very popular commodity in this Hongfu Lane.

Soaking the chrysanthemums from the old Zhu family, Xu Ku and Wei Hongluan sat in the courtyard and lit a brazier at their feet.

The sweet tea soup enters the throat, which is quite leisurely.

"Xu Lang, the loose money saved is about to bottom out, and in a few days, I'm afraid it will be the one who will use firewood to pay off the debt."

"The green cabbage in the vegetable garden has only sprouted, and it cannot be picked. You can't eat or drink, you have to buy it. ”

Wei Hongluan said, frowning.

Looking up at the second floor of the Songhe Tower, the eunuchs by the window have changed to the second wave today. He was smiling and nodding his head this way.

I think I was fed with Xu Ku's silver.

Seeing Wei Hongluan's mouth flattened, Xu Ku was amused in his heart.

"Prime Minister Don't feel distressed, it's good to be greedy. When you take the money, you have to do something. Better than the stinky face of the garrison. ”

In the past few days since returning to the small courtyard, Xu Ku has only planted vegetables and watered the garden with Wei Hongluan, just like when they first met.

When I went out, I went straight to the Songhe Tower, and the Yulin guards and the garrison didn't see it. What good can you do with eunuchs.

Those who don't have a handle will squeeze you dry sooner or later. It's better to go to the gambling house to be chic, and you can win some points if you are lucky.

As long as the demon doesn't leave the courtyard, the jailer will touch the fish. Two beauties accompany them, and they don't get out of the bed.

"These days are just a rest. When I went back, I asked Brother Zhu to bring some warm ingredients to make soup for the prime minister. ”

Xu Ku knew Wei Hongluan's pressure and said distressedly.

"Besides, if the business is good these days, the silver two will not worry for the time being. Zhong Wenyuan's ship should also arrive at the old north entrance. ”

Since the sunrise in the Mingde Palace, Xu Ku has spent all his attention on making money, according to him.

Do one thing as a front for another.

I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse next time I enter the palace, but it's better to prepare a lot of silver.

"Now it's about patience. The prime minister lives a leisurely life, and the more people outside can't guess it. ”

"Within three months, our oil should be able to be sold in the inner city. Recruitment is an afterthought, and for now, it's just about making money. ”

"Hmm."

……

By the old willow tree, the entrance of the old gang was knotted with spider silk.

Originally, this place that forced people to walk around was splashed with a lot of sewage and filth by the people of the outer city, venting their anger.

In a wine shop across the street, the shopkeepers of the oil mills in the outer city were drinking a little depressed, which was only more difficult than when Yuan Hong was there.

For the time being, no one came to collect the monthly case, but there was no one to cover it. The menace of the squires overwhelmed them.

It's like we've discussed it. Open your mouth is fifty percent dry stock.

"The adults in the inner city took the words and let the golden amber be shoveled. Yuan Ye has been planted, so what can we do with the traders? ”

The shopkeeper of Lu's Oil Mill said sadly, and drank the turbid wine in front of him in one gulp, only feeling choked.

"If you can't fix it, you have to fix it, if it happens, Han Gongzi only needs 30% of the shares, and he will also be registered in the inner city."

I remember that the shopkeeper of the oil mill spread his hands.

Although he was very frightened, under the temptation of heavy profits, it was false to say that he was not greedy, so he had to get together to discuss countermeasures.

"If this is the case, let's transfer all the goods scattered outside back to Wangjing, I don't believe that the stinky pawn can get so many goods."

The rest of the shopkeepers nodded their heads, and they had no choice but to do so. No matter how good it sells outside, the business of losing Wangjing is all in vain.

"I have a distant relative in the garrison who is a centurion. If you can get together five hundred taels, find some people to block the city gate. ”

"If the golden amber can't enter the city, it's not up to us to sell it. In terms of pricing, we are half a tael lower than each altar of stinky pawns. ”

"Let's let the wind out, the more sensational the better."

The eyes of the shopkeepers are getting brighter and brighter, and they have finally regained their original bearing after planning.

The shopkeeper of Lu's Oil Mill snorted coldly and smirked.

"Look at how that stinky pawn smashes his sign."

……

"Boy Zhong Wenyuan, the pawn of the border army trapped in the camp. I broke one hand, and after fleeing, I begged for life with the master's family. ”

"Thanks to the help of the eldest brother's family, otherwise the boy would invite these coachmen."

Zhong Wenyuan gave a military salute to the old soldiers of the jumping camp, and the smoke and dust of the endless mule cart behind him were billowing in smoke.

The oil cakes braided on the car were piled up, and only the two processes of steaming cakes and squeezing oil remained. The result of two shifts for half a month in a row.

"I heard the master say that Brother Zhong is a good man who values righteousness. The freshly boiled corn porridge was resting on the edge of the big house, and there were some pickles. ”

The old soldier who carried the flag was called Luo Dayou, and now he was the instructor of the Zhuang protection team, and the training was very good, and the young men were very convinced.

Hu Xiaodao carried Qiu Niang out of the car, stamped his face fiercely, and was so ashamed that Qiu Niang beat him a few times.

I didn't pay attention to the laughter when it came, which shows that I am familiar with it these days. Chai Youyou looked at the state of everyone and was very satisfied.

The small village that is close at hand is more comfortable than Nachaifu.

Zhuangzi is still very dilapidated, except for the exterior wall that has been repaired again, only a few wooden houses have been hastily built to shelter.

All the energy was on the big workshop house, the stuff inside, to be exact.

Zhong Wenyuan looked at the several two-person high oil presses in the workshop, and the hand holding the bowl trembled a little excitedly.

"This is a new drawing of the main house? To beat the wedge, you have to use a hanging bar, which takes two or three men to pull it. ”

I finally understood why this time I let the five-foot-sized oil cake be pierced, and the trough for the cake had to be the thickness of two people hugging each other.

"This, I'm afraid that this can be a hundred altars in half a day......"

Let's not talk about how Xu Ku built the village in a short period of time, and this precision-designed machine alone made him throw his body to the ground.

……

Five days later, with the action of the Wangjing oil mill, all the seven counties on the outskirts of Beijing ran out of oil.

Many people took to the streets to petition, causing an uproar, and the county magistrates were at a loss.

Only Taoyuan County is an exception, the county government gate set up a high color platform, and specially invited a lion dance team.

The red cloth on the plaque inscribed by Zhang Guangtai was lifted by the county order.

"Taoyuan County Government-run Tung Oil Hot Sale" flashed out.

What is a hot sale? Can our lord still get oil?

More and more people gathered to see the excitement, and the rooftops facing the street were crowded.

"Wangjing oil merchants have transferred goods one after another, causing the county to cut off oil, causing everyone to suffer."

"The Xu's Oil Mill under the rule of this county understands the righteousness and does not collude with those black-hearted people."

"Five hundred jars of gold amber, 20% off the market price of Wangjing. The county government that has no cash will give a sticker, and it will be distributed to the next year's taxes, and no profits will be collected! ”

"If you want to stock up on some to sell in the next county, the yamen won't stop you!"

Five hundred altars? The people of Taoyuan County widened their eyes.

Chai Youyou looked at the scene that fell into madness, and only felt that he had driven the clouds. Xu Ku's letter was soaked with hot sweat in his palms.

There is only one sentence on it: this month, don't sell Wangjing, sell Taoyuan.
