Lu An looked around, and nodded with satisfaction from time to time, "Well, yes, it's really a good place!" ”

When Liu Dalong heard this, his face turned green!

Of course it's a great place!

This is the largest saltpeter mine in the whole of Baqu County!

It can be said that the saltpeter needed in various parts of the Central Plains, only this saltpeter mine controlled by the Liu family accounts for half of the amount!

It's a good place, but it's his Liu family!

It's just that anyone who sees the expression on Lu An's face at this moment has an illusion.

This is clearly treating this saltpeter mine as its own industry!

"Sister-in-law—"

Liu Dalong became more and more nervous.

This is the foundation of his Liu family!

In case it is forcibly occupied by Lu An, the Liu family will be completely finished!

What's even worse is that Lu An also brought 500 elite soldiers over this time, in case he doesn't say a word and starts to move, what will he Liu Dalong carry?

Lu Youdao also saw Lu An's intentions, his face was slightly ugly, and he said in a low voice, "Don't worry, although this Jiangnan is now under Chu Yin's control, unless Chu Yin wants to make Jiangnan mess up, otherwise, he will never condone Hu Lai, who is surnamed Lu!" ”

With Lu Youdao's words, Liu Dalong gradually felt at ease.

That's right.

If Chu Yin wants to plot the world, he naturally has a law in everything.

Otherwise, if he offends merchants everywhere and the people's hearts are unstable, who is willing to fight the world for him?

Lu An really took a fancy to Liu Dalong's saltpeter mine.

Along the way, he also learned the general situation of the Liujia saltpeter mine from Zheng Xianjue's introduction.

It can be said that the monthly output of Liujia saltpeter mine is almost seventy or eighty thousand catties!

The entire mine covers an area that is too large, to the naked eye, it is the size of a dozen football fields, and the space in the mine under development is probably even larger!

The more I looked at it, the more itchy it became, and Lu An didn't want to beat around the bush, so he directly took the reins of the horse and came to Liu Dalong and said with a smile, "Boss Liu, let's be straight, what is the price of saltpeter here?"

Of course, it would be better if Boss Liu was willing to sell Yicheng shares. ”

Liu Dalong's heart tightened, and he subconsciously looked at Lu Youdao.

The corners of Lu Youdao's mouth twitched, "I'm really sorry, Master Lu, this saltpeter mine is not for sale, and besides, the production of saltpeter has declined recently, and there is no surplus to sell to you." ”

"Oh?" Lu An was not angry, and looked at Lu Youdao with a smile, "So, in this saltpeter mine of the Liu family, Second Young Master Lu has the right to call the shots?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Liu Dalong nodded hurriedly, "My sister-in-law accounts for nearly half of the shares in our Liujia mine, so naturally he can call the shots." ”

Lu Youdao said indifferently, "If Lu Gongzi really wants to buy saltpeter, I'm afraid he can only find another way."

However, Ben Shao reminds you that if the Liujia saltpeter mine is not available, basically no one will sell it to you in the other small mines in Baqu County. ”

After saying this, Lu Youdao looked at Zheng Xianjue intentionally or unintentionally.

Threat!

A blatant threat!

Seeing this, Lu An scolded in his heart.

How could Zheng Xianjue not hear Lu Youdao's words?

It's just that although he didn't refute it explicitly, he still snorted coldly and twisted his head to the side.

"Lord Zhou."

Lu An didn't mention the matter of buying saltpeter again, but summoned Zhou Yun to him, "Lord Zhou, the caravan that Lu came to Baqu County to buy saltpeter mines was detained in this mine, since you are the warden of Baqu County, you shouldn't let this kind of thing continue, right?"

If there is really no one to care about this matter, Lu has to use his own methods. ”

After speaking, Lu An pointed to the five hundred elite soldiers behind him.

Seeing this, Liu Dalong's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly preemptively said, "Master Lu, don't misunderstand, Liu will let them out now." ”

After a while, under Liu Dalong's signal, the caravan of more than 100 people brought by Lian'er finally came out one after another.

It's just that when Lu An saw the dusty and tired appearance of those people in the caravan, he was immediately angry!

"Boss Liu!"

Liu Dalong's body trembled, and without waiting for Lu An to put forward conditions, he took the initiative to speak, "Lu Gongzi is angry, and Liu is willing to compensate them for their medical expenses." ”

"Medical expenses? Hehe! ”

Lu An sneered, "You let my people work hard in your mine for so many days, shouldn't you give a little payment!" ”

"Yes, yes." Liu Dalong nodded again and again, "Lu Gongzi said a price, Liu Mou ......"

"Shut up!" Before he could finish speaking, Lu Youdao interrupted his words, glared at him fiercely, and said in a low voice, "You idiot!

Can't you even hear that!

The surnamed Lu clearly wants to take advantage of the hardships suffered by these people to buy saltpeter from you!

No matter what he wants to do with saltpeter, we must not let him do it!

I'd rather spend a little more money than give him half a saltpeter! ”

Liu Dalong really didn't understand why Lu Youdao was so resolute in preventing Lu An from buying saltpeter, but he couldn't help but listen to Lu Youdao's words!

Thinking of this, Liu Dalong asked tentatively, "Lu Gongzi thinks that you people have been doing the work for the past few days, how much salary is appropriate?" ”

Lu An nodded with satisfaction, "Forget the salary, if Boss Liu has a real intention, why don't you sell me tens of thousands of catties of saltpeter?" ”

If it weren't for Lu Youdao being here, Liu Dalong would not have been able to do this business.

That's a business of tens of thousands of taels of silver!

A fool would refuse.

However, Lu Youdao was staring at him deadly, and he could only be a fool.

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Lu, you should have heard what my sister-in-law said just now, we really don't have any extra saltpeter to sell to you.

Or...... How shall I pay each of them two taels of silver? ”

Two taels of silver?

Under normal circumstances, a saltpeter earns these in half a month, which is not less.

But for Lu An, this is no different from humiliating him in person!

Seeing that Lu An's face was getting more and more ugly, Liu Dalong was really afraid, and he couldn't care about Lu Youdao's eyes, so he took the initiative to speak again, "Of course, if Lu Gongzi is not satisfied, then five taels of silver!" ”

"Huh!" Lu An laughed and waved his hand, "With Lord Zhou here to testify, Lu has no intention of embarrassing anyone anymore, so let's do what Boss Liu said." ”

When Liu Dalong heard this, he was amnesty, "Thank you Lu Gongzi for your generosity." ”

After speaking, Liu Dalong handed six hundred taels of silver tickets to Lu An in front of Zhou Yun.

Lu An motioned for Lian'er to accept the silver ticket, and then looked around the entire saltpeter mine for a week, and sighed affectionately again, "This is really a good place!" ”

Lu Youdao pursed his lips, "Of course."

It's a pity that this is the Liujia mine, and it will never be sold! ”

"I know." Lu Mouyun nodded lightly and turned to look at Zhou Yun.

"Lord Zhou, Lu Mou is a newcomer, and he likes the beautiful scenery here in Baqu County more and more.

Lu wants to make a deal with Mr. Zhou, I wonder if Mr. Zhou is interested? ”
