Chapter Forty-Seven: The Bamboo Pole Rings in the Air
Ning Que looked at the man and said very sincerely: "I must admit that these conditions of yours are indeed excellent. β
The man replied with a smile: "When you do things for the government, you naturally have to do it beautifully." Little boss, let me tell you, the court is not bad for money, and I won't eat you too much from the middle, as long as you are willing to move away, the price can be discussed, in a word, hello, I'm good, everyone. β
To say that the other party's price is already extremely fair, and even beyond the scope of fairness, if Ning Que ends the old pen and moves away, not only will there be no loss, but he can also make a fortune from the middle. Of course, he also understands that his shop pΓΉ is equivalent to a small card in the owner's hand, although the card is not big, but the owner can always have a little more confidence when negotiating with the government, if not, his small card is not worth so much silver.
He subconsciously glanced at Sang Sang, wanting to see what she thought, but Sang Sang's little face was still as unemotional as usual, and he couldn't tell whether he agreed or opposed. He thought about it a little, thinking of the middle-aged proprietor with a sword at his waist who entered the door on the first day of Lao Bizhai's opening, and felt that there was something about this that he couldn't guess.
The man glanced at Ning Que twice, frowned and said, "Little boss, whether it is successful or not, you have to give a sentence, right?"
Ning Que leaned over to the man's side and said with a low voice and a smile: "This big brother, I came from a small place, I didn't deliberately do anything right with you, I was just a little curious, if this thing doesn't work out, what are you going to do?"
In other words, this sentence should be replaced by those pot-bellied shop owners, the man was afraid that he would really think that the other party was provoking himself, and he would have slapped him a long time ago, but Ning Que took advantage of his tender face and good attitude, and the man was slightly stunned and explained seriously:" Dumping a few truckloads of garbage at the door of your shop, throwing bricks in the middle of the night, this kind of thing is always inevitable, if you really make everyone anxious, sneak into your shop and dirty the well in the back house, maybe it's not enough, little boss, you know, we rely on this to earn food. β
Listening to this answer, Ning Que was slightly stunned, and silently sighed in his heart: If there is a bright moon in the night sky of the Tang Empire, it is really the bright moon in the Tang Dynasty that has shone on the people of the present, and there is no difference between ancient and modern.
The gang of men surrounding Lao Bizhai are obviously bad people in the rivers and lakes, and they are doing things for the Yamen of Chang'an Mansion and the Qingyun Division of the Ministry of Households, which is extremely troublesome, Ning Que understands very well, don't look at these people are persuading each other with good words at the moment, if they really insist on not moving, who knows how many pickled things will happen. Facing up to people in the rivers and lakes will not make him afraid, the key is that he has just killed that imperial history, and he will take the academy admission examination in twenty days, he doesn't want too many things to do in the middle, and he can't help but feel a little moved by this mentions.
And at this moment, there was a dense and neat footstep sound from the other end of Lane 47, followed by an extremely shrill voice, and the words spoken were extremely mean and sour, and there was a ruthlessness that did not care.
"Take out the garbage, throw bricks, and dirty wells? When did you have such a bold bunch of crumbs? Or did you do it in Lin47 Lane? If you did, why did you still have your hands on your wrists?"
A group of men in green clothes, green pants, and green cloth boots walked over from the other side of the street, the person who spoke had thin eyebrows, thin eyes, thin voice, and thin figure, and the green clothes on his body seemed to be hanging on a bamboo pole and swaying in the wind.
He walked to the door of Lao Bizhai, first bowed to Ning Que, and then turned his head to look at the men over there, and said mockingly: "A bunch of bastards who can't get out of Nancheng actually dare to learn from others to play forced demolition? As far as I just said, which of you dares to do it in Linsi Lane? I'm really not afraid that grandpa will unload your legs!"
The man who had previously negotiated the conditions with Ning Que obviously showed a trace of timidity on his face, glanced at the official under the tree behind him, straightened his chest again and said with a sneer: "Fourth Master Qi, this has to be made clear, we don't do those things because we think those things are dirty, since this little boss is a reasonable person, why should I do that?"
The fourth master Qi nostrils turned to the sky, and a mouthful of spit spit at the man's feet: "Phew, Gu Xiaoqiao, you shut up for me! If it weren't for the fact that Lin Forty-seventh Lane is my brother's property, you miscellaneous people would pretend to be scholars?"
Gu Xiaoqiao pulled his neck and shouted: "What's the matter? I didn't use a knife or a stick, I talked about business with the small boss in a proper manner, and I spent money to buy his rental contract, isn't this okay? If you say that this violates Tang Law, let's go to Chang'an Mansion to file a lawsuit!"
Fourth Master Qi took another sip, turned his head to look at Ning Que and bowed casually, and said: "This little boss, if you are willing to open the shop here, that is to give us three thousand brothers face, you can rest assured that you will continue to open it here, if anyone dares not to move you, Fourth Master, I will cut off his head and make amends to you." β
Seeing that the two sides were facing each other, Ning Que had a slight anxiety on his face, but he was not nervous, and watched with great interest how the gangsters in Chang'an City behaved, and after a while, he looked at the middle-aged man who rented the shop to himself, and it was obvious that his status in Chang'an ** was very good, and it was not easy for the government to use bastards to do things. He was there with relish in front of the audience of gangster films, guessing when the fight would start, but the problem turned to himself again, and he hurriedly smiled and said: "This Fourth Master Qi, I am already grateful that your owner exempted me from rent for March before, but now this Gu Xiao...... Mr. Gu's price is really good. β
It's easy to talk when you can't talk endlessly, and when it comes to this section, he won't say much, Gu Xiaoqiao's face was full of joy when he heard this, and he looked at Qi Siye and said with a smile: "Fourth master, you can listen well, this is said by the little boss himself." β
Fourth Master Qi snorted and snorted, turned his head to look at Ning Que, and asked, "How much silver did he promise you?"
"Two hundred taels of silver. Ning Que stretched out two fingers, thought about it and hurriedly added, "If the business suffers a loss, Mr. Gu also promised to make up for it." β
Fourth Master Qi glanced at Ning Que mockingly, and suddenly angrily pointed to the bluestone bricks under his feet and said: "Two hundred taels of silver? Does Manchang'an have such a fair price? Don't say that there really is! It's in this Linxi Forty-seventh Lane! Why? Because my brother Rende protects all the shop owners on this street! Not frightened, those people in Nancheng can't help it, so they offer such a high price, and in the end, what about these bosses who took the silver and left their mother's feet!"
Gu Xiaoqiao showed embarrassment, speaking of which the affairs of this street have been troubled for nearly half a year, and the backers behind the two sides have made a fuss, and they can't care about profits and losses at all, just to grab this street, and the government is not good to come forward directly, but they are called Nancheng gangsters who dare not offend the owner, and in the end they only have to use the money to open the road, and the owners of those shops ran away when they got the benefits, they took the hired silver, only the owner lost and retreated, and everyone really bullied the owner Rende.
Ning Que listened to this, silently calculated in his heart, and found that it was really better for the proprietor to sell this benefit to the government if he acted like this, if the other party really thought about the owners of these shops, he could really talk about benevolence.
Fourth Master Qi looked at Ning Que coldly, and was about to have a seizure, when he suddenly remembered his eldest brother's advice, forcibly suppressed his anger, and said loudly: "They gave you two hundred taels of silver? We will exempt you from rent for one year! and maintain law and order for you for free!"
