Chapter Eighty-Five: You Win

Li Huai glanced back, it had been so long, Shen Tuzai should have received the news, but there was not even a little movement.

Do they also think that Charlie is innocent of his death?

In order to prevent accidents.

Li Huai asked the Qinglong caravan to cross the Yellow River first, and if someone really wanted to catch up, only he could stop it.

It took another half a day to cross the river.

No one came after him.

Li Huai finally crossed the river, still in the old man's boat.

Just arrived on the other side.

Seeing that the five elders seemed to have an argument with someone, and the thirteen shopkeepers were also there, Li Huai went over to take a look.

"Before we crossed the river, we already gave money to cross the river, why do you still need to collect money now?"

"The money you gave for crossing the river was for the boatmen, and the money we collect now is the money for you to use the docks."

"You are blackmailing!"

"This is the rule of the Xiaguandi wharf, I advise you to give money obediently, otherwise, throw your goods into the Yellow River."

“……”

When the five elders saw Li Huai coming, they all surrounded him and said, "Childe, you have to call the shots for us, they are just robbing money." ”

"That's right, we've already given money to cross the river once, and they're going to charge us for using the dock."

"It's unheard of elsewhere, and it's unreasonable."

"And they didn't say it before crossing the river."

"Childe, please make the decision for us!"

Li Huai's identity can not be exposed without being exposed, so as to avoid causing trouble, so they all call him Gongzi.

Hear what they say.

Li Huai's face was also a little unbearable, Xiaguan Land was his territory, and it was under his nose.

This is a strange thing.

Isn't that a slap in the face?

"Everyone, don't quarrel, if it's not Childe, we still want food in Chang'an, let's listen to what Childe has to say first."

Elder Tong also realized that their words were a bit harsh, and hurriedly asked everyone to stop.

"How much do they want?" Li Huai asked first.

"Ten taels for a small boat, fifteen taels for a medium ship, and thirty taels for a large ship." Elder Qian replied.

"If we don't give it, we won't let our goods come to the dock." Elder Ma added.

The Blue Dragon Chamber of Commerce transported a lot of goods, using hundreds of ships, and had to pay about 3,000 taels of dock usage fees.

For them, who have a million taels of business at every turn, this money is not too much, nor too little, but it is unreasonable.

It's a bit of a feeling of being wronged.

Then.

The people from the Xiaguandi Wharf also gathered around, and they all carried killing sticks in their hands, looking fierce and vicious.

Caravans were often reluctant to give money to the docks, but in the end, they all succumbed to their killing.

This also discredited the Xiaguandi Pier.

It was already noon, and except for their Qinglong caravan, there was almost no one behind them crossing the river here.

Li Huai had seen it in Shangjun Pass, and there were dozens of caravans densely packed behind the pass, and none of them were willing to come to Liangzhou to do business.

In addition to the barrenness of Liangzhou and the lack of oil and water to fish, it also has a certain relationship with the Xiaguandi wharf.

The point is, the people are also on the side of the dock.

They don't know that this is killing chickens and taking eggs!

And so on.

The Xiaguandi wharf is going to become a barren land, a place where birds don't, when the time comes, where will they go to make a living?

"Give it to them." Li Huai said indifferently.

The people in the Qinglong caravan were all stunned, they looked at each other, they didn't expect Li Huai to say these three words.

"This money will be deducted from my part, and your goods will be landed first, and I will wait for you in Jiuyuan City."

After Li Huai finished speaking, he walked through the crowd with Li Xin and others.

Ride your horse and prepare to return to Kuhara City.

When you get out of the dock.

Li Huai glanced back, and on a wooden village, there was a man in a sable with a mustache.

His face was full of flesh piled up with a mocking smile, and his eyes narrowed in defiance of the crowd below.

Li Huai said in a deep voice, "This guy is more like a prince than Lao Tzu!" ”

Return to Taishoufu.

Shangguan Keke and Lou Xiaowan immediately greeted them, and since Li Huai left at dusk yesterday, they have been worried about their hearts.

Seeing him come back safe and sound, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"How?"

Shangguan Keke was the first to ask.

"I've found it back, I've crossed the Yellow River, I guess I'll be able to arrive when it's dark, and you've won." Li Huai said lightly.

Their gambling agreement was 15 days, and the agreed time was in the afternoon, which was half a day.

Li Huai is also willing to gamble and lose, "I will give you a gift from my heart." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Shangguan Keke said humbly, although she won the bet, she was not very happy.

The one who really wins should be him.

When Tian Qing and others shorted the entire Jiuyuan, and everyone couldn't think of paying attention, it was he who went to Taiyuan to buy grain.

Then he opened the Ordnance Division, although there was an element of gambling, but after all, he made a new steel and directly negotiated a business with the imperial court.

In the face of the shortage of goods resources in Liangzhou, it was he who brought the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce.

All thought it was impossible.

It took him less than two months.

Syllable!

Li Huai patted Lou Xiaowan's buttocks and said, "Go and call Lu Youji." ”

"Yes."

Lou Xiaowan turned around, his face suddenly blushed, the prince was so light to her under the eyes of the princess.

Li Huai hugged Shangguan Keke with one hand again and said, "I was bullied, you give me a little money, and I will fight back." ”

Shangguan Keke was stunned, thought for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Is there something wrong with the Xiaguandi Wharf?" ”

Since it can be used to fight back, it is definitely not a matter on Guanzhong's side, no matter what happens in Guanzhong, it can only be solved by a political game of power, and money will not play much role at all.

So Li Huai traveled this time, and the only thing that could have an accident on the way was Xiaguandi Wharf.

Moreover, she had heard a little bit of news.

Li Huai glanced at her approvingly, this little melon has a very smart head, and said playfully: "Don't be so stingy, I just need a little money." ”

"I'm just in charge of the silver treasury for the prince, and the concubine should listen to how much the prince wants." Shangguan Keke said silently.

Lu Youqi lives in Taishou Mansion, no, Taishou Mansion was originally his territory, so he naturally came quickly.

He just came in.

Shangguan Keke subconsciously broke free from Li Huai, sat upright, and the whole person instantly became like wood.

"The ministers meet the prince and obey the prince's dispatch!" Lu Youqi was a little excited, and the prince was willing to let him do things.

This took him by surprise.

"Xiaguandi Wharf, do you know?" Li Huai asked directly.

Lu Youqi nodded, "Minister." ”

"Then why don't you care?" Li Huai asked rhetorically.

"This ...... The minister is incompetent, please punish the prince. Lu Youji lowered his head, he was always like this, and took all the responsibility afterwards.

Li Huai was a little more disappointed in him, instead of admitting his mistakes, it was better to correct them, this guy would never understand.

But he still has to be used for this matter.

"You go to the Xiaguandi wharf, which was originally an official ferry, and you directly bypass the local county government and take back the wharf." Li Huai instructed that this step does not cost anything.

No matter what the governor is, he has great ability, and he can only obey, but this will certainly provoke the anger of the people.

That's the Governor's hole card.

Li Huai had a trick against him.

"After the Xiaguandi wharf is recovered, in the name of this king, you will have three chapters of the law, first, the people do not take commissions for sailing, second, the caravan does not charge wharf fees, and third, all the maintenance costs of the wharf are borne by the original funds of the wharf."

After hearing this, Lu Youji raised his head in surprise and said, "Lord Wang, it takes a lot of money to maintain the dock, and if it is opened for free, the dock will soon run out of money." ”

Shangguan Keke was also a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he understood what Li Huai meant, and it was estimated that the person who bullied the prince was the governor.

This hand was enough to trap the governor to death, and he would find that the shield he had built with the hearts of the people would eventually turn into a sharp spear that pierced straight into his heart.

Li Huai smiled coldly, "You think about the third point that this king said, it's not our money that is lost, what are you panicking about." ”

The third point?

All maintenance costs of the terminal are borne by the original funds of the terminal.

If you continue like this, you will soon run out of money.

Although Lu Youqi was still a little confused, he finally nodded, "Obey!" ”

"In order to prevent accidents, you get more thugs, and if someone dares to play black, you have to return the blacker one than him." Li Huai instructed, this link needs a little money, and Shangguan Coco will pay for it.

"Yes!"

Lu Youqi thinks that he is no longer his past self, isn't it just fighting, who won't, who has fought and fought in the government?

Li Huai waved his hand to let Lu Youqi go down, and said to Shangguan Keke, "You pay more attention to the news in Guanzhong, and tell me as soon as you have any situation." ”

He killed Cha Li, it is impossible for Guanzhong not to move, if it is just to retaliate against him, Li Huai doesn't feel anything.

I'm afraid that they will go to find their aunt Li Jinglong.

Li Jinglong is kind by nature and weak, this kind of person belongs to the category of easy to bully in the eyes of ordinary people.

"Yes."

Shangguan Keke nodded, she knew that Li Huai said this, something big must have happened in Guanzhong.

But she didn't ask.

Sit for a while.

She went out to receive all the goods of the Qinglong caravan on behalf of Liangzhou, and settled the accounts on the spot after confirming that the goods were not damaged according to the prior agreement.

This cost millions of taels of silver.

If it weren't for Emperor Yu Li Gan to send someone to send Li Huai's feudal merchants, I'm afraid that Liangzhou's economy would be empty.

Next.

She had to find a way to make money.

Meantime.

She also made her own decisions and changed the trading rules between the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce and Liangzhou, and everything should be in the interests of Liangzhou.

Don't talk about any feelings.

Both sides are on an equal footing.

Although Li Huai got off to a good start, in terms of details, it was just child's play, messing around!

The five elders of the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce were all sincerely happy that King Liang had such a virtuous help.

But standing in the interests of businessmen, they also feel extremely sad for having such an opponent.

Li Huai was racking his brains to figure out what kind of gift to give to Shangguan Keke, so as to prove that he really cares.
