Chapter 160: The Man Chosen by Zhu Bai
Lao Zhu was very proud when he heard it: Great. Liu Shenstick, didn't you say that you are invincible in the world? Our son is better than you before he is ten years old!
Everyone also said that Zhu Bai's official tooth bureau post station was obviously unreasonable.
Only 200 people can live, but the total number of people who will come to the exam is more than 1,000.
It can be seen that the little prince is still too young and not thoughtful.
Later, everyone found that the people in the Guanya Post Station came and went, but they were never full, so they realized that Zhu Bai had no intention of waiting for everyone to take the exam again.
Instead, those who come take the test first, and the results will be released the next day.
Those who do not meet the requirements will leave the post station within three days and will not be allowed to stay, and those who are qualified will go to the General Administration of Dental Affairs to start training.
After all, he is not afraid of leaking the test questions, because he corrects the papers himself, and no one knows the correct answers.
The people who came to the exam also came in hundreds, hundreds, hundreds, hundreds,
In the end, there were more than 80 left.
Based on the number of people who initially signed up, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is one in a thousand.
These 80 people, a group of 10 people, followed a master to learn pricing and inspection in the dental shop every day, negotiate with the government, deal with merchants, fight and quarrel, fight and persuade to fight, and deal with hooligans and ruffians......
People who have been to the Guanya Bureau say that King Xiang is not choosing the chief of the second-level tooth line, but the leader of the martial arts alliance.
These people are so famous that Lao Zhu has heard of them.
After dealing with important affairs that day, he waved his hand to Erhu: "Let's go, go out and take a walk." Let's see how powerful the people chosen by the old twelve are. ”
Since Zhu Bai began to run the Terracotta Division alone, Lao Zhu will go out to Weifu from time to time for a private visit.
Erhu was also used to it, and waved his hand to signal a few pro-army captains to hurry up and change their clothes.
A quarter of an hour later, Lao Zhu appeared on the streets of Yingtian with a few people in his regular clothes and went straight to the official tooth bureau.
The official tooth bureau was bustling and very lively.
Zhu Bai was not there because the windows on the second floor were closed.
Usually he sits by the window on the second floor, with the window open.
He couldn't see him below, but if there was any movement, he could see below as soon as he stretched out his head.
Lao Zhu was interested in taking a look at the east with his hands behind his back and taking a closer look.
There was a merchant over there holding a black, hard, scimitar-like thing, as if he were holding a torch.
This merchant is probably the first time to come to the official tooth bureau, and he is embarrassed to shout.
Plus a lot of people don't know it, so no one pays attention to him.
Lao Zhu knew that it was rhinoceros horn, a rare thing, and it was good to use it to make a cup, or something like medicine, so he was about to go over and ask.
Suddenly a few men came in and surrounded the merchant group.
Lao Zhu looked a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it, so he raised his eyebrows at Erhu.
Erhu whispered: "Li Shan's housekeeper is the eldest family." ”
Lao Zhu suddenly realized, yes, yes, he went to the banquet a few days ago, and seemed to see him kneeling in the Li Mansion.
The merchants who knew the Li family were all busy.
"How do you sell your buffalo horn?" Steward Li raised his chin at the merchant.
The merchant was stunned for a moment, and stammered, "Ah, no, this lord, this is a rhinoceros horn, not a buffalo horn." ”
Steward Li sank his face: "How dare you be shoddy in the official tooth bureau?" ”
Lao Zhu secretly sneered: Steward of the Li Mansion, how could he not know that this was a rhinoceros horn.
He clearly wanted to buy it cheaply, so he referred to the deer as a horse.
Interesting, it's better to come early than to come by chance.
Let's see what the people from the Official Tooth Bureau will do.
Although he doesn't like businessmen, he also doesn't like people to blatantly bully and dominate the market at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
The merchant said, "Sir, I'm really not a buffalo horn." ”
The merchant was really an honest man, and he thought that Steward Li had admitted his mistake.
Steward Li said, "You are a buffalo horn, I want it all." ”
The merchant finally understood, and stepped back: "I don't sell." ”
Steward Li waved his hand to the people behind him, and immediately someone came up to grab the list in the hands of the merchants.
As long as you grab the list, stuff the silver ticket to him, and then go to the counter to pay the tooth money, the business is done.
Even if the merchant sues at that time, he will break the contract and compensate the Li family.
The merchant clutched the list: "How can you buy and sell strongly." Is there any royal law?! ”
The two tigers looked anxious and wanted to step forward.
Lao Zhu shook his head slightly.
The second tiger could only clench his fists and stand.
"Eh, two guest officers, what's wrong?" A young man ran over and forced himself between the merchant and the people of the Li Mansion, protecting the merchant behind him.
This is a newcomer, because he hasn't turned a regular yet, so he hasn't made a famous brand, and the chest of the uniform is empty.
Steward Li waved his hand a little impatiently: "Get out of the way." Don't be nosy, be careful that I tell you sir, and don't record you. ”
The newcomer smiled innocently: "Look at what you said, this is in the Official Tooth Bureau, and I am a guy from the Official Tooth Bureau." I'm here to entertain the guests, how can I call it nosy? ”
Lao Zhu raised his eyebrows: Hey, this young man is interesting.
politely, but these few words are both inside and out, reasonable, and threatened the Li family without a trace: This is the official tooth bureau, don't want to bully people.
Steward Li's face was hot.
The newcomer bowed again: "What does this master want to buy, I recommend it to you." ”
Okay, the army will be armed.
Steward Li wants to say that he wants to buy buffalo horns, okay, there are them over there, and I will take you there.
Steward Li wants to say that he wants to buy rhinoceros horn, okay, this merchant's goods are very good, buy it at the price of rhino horn.
Steward Li didn't know how to answer for a moment, and froze there.
"Then let's have this." He said vaguely.
The newcomer glanced at the merchant's list: "Okay, one hundred catties, a total of four thousand taels of silver." Do you want it all, or you want a part. ”
Steward Li frowned: "So expensive? ”
The newcomer laughed, "Look at what you said." You've seen a lot of things, and you know that this rhino horn is more expensive than gold. This is still a raw material, if it is carved, won't it cost a few hundred taels of silver? ”
Steward Li wanted it, but he was reluctant to give up the money, and he was very unhappy that he was disturbed by this newcomer for a big business. Originally, you could just throw a little silver and take it, but now it costs thousands of taels.
He took out the shelf of the housekeeper of the Li Mansion: "You are asking for a price." I'm going to sue you, Master Lee. ”
The smile on the newcomer's face remained unchanged: "I won't tell you, this price was set by His Royal Highness the King of Xiang himself." If you think the price is unreasonable, wait for King Xiang to come back and tell him in person? ”
Steward Li was immediately coaxed, unwilling, and had no choice but to take people away stupidly.
The guest officer breathed a sigh of relief and bowed his hand to the newcomer: "Thank you for this young master." ”
The newcomer returned the salute: "Don't be afraid, the guest officer, our King Xiang said that as long as you enter here, you will be his guest, and the trade will be absolutely fair." ”
It sounds like bullying people, but in fact, it is for the people.
If it weren't for Zhu Bai being so tough, there were so many high-ranking officials and nobles in Yingtian City, everyone wanted to come to the official tooth bureau to buy good goods, where would ordinary merchants still have a way to live? !
