"Steward Wu. We have just confirmed that these people are indeed from Liangdu, and what they said is exactly what we have seen and heard in Liangdu. ”

"Steward Wu, we have all contacted it, now the villages and Zhuangzi that mainly breed poultry in this vicinity, and the ducks have all been booked by us, as long as they want to do business with the Qin family in the future, they must cooperate with us!"

At night that day, two good news came to Steward Wu's ears one after another, which made him very happy.

Early the next morning, the group of Beiliang people got up early and planned to leave.

In Steward Wu's heart, it was best to isolate these people in his Zhuangzi in the name of entertaining guests and let him handle it, but he also knew that unless the other party was really greedy for pleasure and stupid, he couldn't and couldn't force it, so he had to let them go.

But in the team that left, there was one more Deng Jinbiao who was generous and took the initiative to help.

Looking at the back of the leading Beiliang nobleman who left with a grateful and proud face, Steward Wu quietly curled the corners of his mouth.

When they arrived in Huilong Town, Deng Jinbiao didn't care about resting, and after settling down in the inn, he accompanied them to embark on the road of buying ducks again.

They arranged the carriage and two men in advance, and prepared to escort them back as they did yesterday, after the acquisition was completed.

But I didn't expect that today's situation was like a sudden change in summer weather.

This time, there were very few responders!

The leading Beiliang nobleman was anxious, "What's going on?" So many people came yesterday, and they bought nearly 10,000 ducks in just a while, why is there no one today! ”

Of course, Deng Jinbiao knew what was going on, but he also pretended to be anxious, "That's not right! This time, there should be more than 100,000 ducks in Longzhen, why didn't anyone come to sell them! ”

He rubbed his chin, "Didn't you think that you still want to increase the price, so you don't want to buy it for sixty yuan?" ”

The Beiliang nobleman's face became a little ugly, and he called an entourage and muttered a few words in his ear, making it clear that he was suspicious of Deng Jinbiao and the Qin family behind him.

When the attendant heard this, he beckoned another person, and walked away quickly.

Deng Jinbiao watched silently, as if he hadn't seen this scene, he just sneered in his heart, stupid stranger, you don't know anything about the Qin family's ability!

Not long after, the entourage came back and said a few words in the ears of the Beiliang nobles, and the faces of the Beiliang nobles became more and more difficult to see.

He took a strong breath, walked to Deng Jinbiao's side, and smiled, "According to Your Excellency, what should we do at this moment?" ”

Deng Jinbiao didn't seem to see what happened just now, and thought about it seriously: "The best way is to naturally reduce the price, to 50 Wen, which is lower than 60 Wen, and higher than the market price of 40 Wen, so that everyone knows that it will not be much good to wait any longer, and at the same time, they are afraid that even this benefit will be gone, so they will naturally flock to it." ”

The eyes of this Beiliang nobleman lit up, and he heard Deng Jinbiao's words later, "However, this is the way for us real traders. And you can't. ”

The noble man of Beiliang looked puzzled, "Why am I not a trader?" ”

Deng Jinbiao said: "You are the ones who carry out the tasks of the master, making money is not your primary purpose, but completing the tasks assigned by the master is the primary purpose." For a trader like me, I can follow the farmer like an eagle, if I don't survive, I can really not buy it, just pat my ass and leave, can you do it? If you can't buy enough ducks, can you go back and pay for it? ”

The nobleman of Beiliang pursed his lips and was silent.

Deng Jinbiao struck while the iron was hot, "Your lord's family has money, and even said that hundreds of thousands of taels of silver can be used, so what should people like us do below?" Naturally, everything is based on doing a good job of the tasks assigned by the master, otherwise it will be our own lives that will be sent, what do you think? ”

"Hey!" The nobleman of Beiliang suddenly sighed and arched his hand: "Thank you for your guidance, otherwise you will still be indecided!" ”

He immediately said: "Go and issue a notice, and the price will increase to eighty wen a piece today!" ”

In a wealthy merchant in Huilong Town, a Qin family merchant like Deng Jinbiao sat in the main hall with the owner, listened to the news from the subordinates, smiled faintly, and looked at the master's house proudly, "Xu Yuanwai, how is it?" That's right! ”

"God! God! Your Excellency is really a clever plan, they have really increased the price! ”

The owner of this household grinned so much that his gums were open, as the largest farmer in Huilong Town, the tenants under his command and his own Zhuangzi combined could make up a total of tens of thousands of ducks, and he was the number one farmer in Huilong Town, selling for more than 20 wen, which is more than 1,000 taels of silver!

If you want to make so much money on weekdays, you have to work hard to save for a year or two.

He smiled and said, "Then let's boil him up again, and wait for him to rise to 100 wen tomorrow?" ”

The Qin family's merchant looked at this greedy smiling face, and felt a little disdainful in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, "That's natural, but today you still have to let go out." ”

The head of the family hesitated when he heard this, obviously a little reluctant.

The Qin family's merchant secretly scolded stupidity in his heart, and said coldly: "You don't sell it at all, and the fool also knows that there is a ghost behind this." It's really popular, the other party left directly, you can sell it to Zhongjing City for forty yuan! ”

The other party suddenly came to his senses and nodded again and again, "Your Excellency has taught you a lesson, and the old man will go to discuss the arrangement with his peers." ”

A day passed in a flash, looking at the more than 8,000 ducks bought, and some displeasure was written on the face of the Beiliang nobleman.

He understood that he was being held by these sellers.

But it seems that Deng Jinbiao's words were still listened to by him, and his master cared about whether they could complete the task, and how much money was spent was secondary, so his face was not so ugly.

Let two of his subordinates hire a carriage and horses, escort the ducks to drive back to Beiliang, he and Deng Jinbiao sat in the room of the inn, facing a table of wine and food, and clinked glasses.

"Brother Deng, let's open the skylight and say something bright, now that two days have passed, is the Qin family willing to help, if not, we can find someone else."

Deng Jinbiao looked at the man who had been in a good time and sighed, "Steward Wu has already told you about this matter that day, if it is an ordinary matter, the Qin family is naturally willing to help, but Your Excellency's main family is obviously a dignitary of Northern Liang, and it also involves saving people's lives in the middle, and it is not much good for my Qin family to do a good job in this matter, but if something goes wrong, won't my Qin family offend the master of your mansion." ”

"However, if this matter is completed, the Qin family will definitely be able to reap the friendship of my master."

Deng Jinbiao shook his head, "One of the secrets of the Qin family's everlasting business is that the Qin family would rather not take that advantage than try not to take risks. Therefore, the Qin family will not make a move this time, but with the permission of the steward, they can help your Excellency in their personal capacity. ”

This Beiliang nobleman saw that he couldn't do anything, so he had to sigh and raise his glass to drink.

On the third and fourth days of the next day, they sent people to contact the surrounding big households, hoping that they could help get in touch, but these rich businessmen who had been advised by the Qin family early just found excuses and declined.

On the other hand, after they continued to increase the price, the price reached 100 wen on the third day, and the price soared directly to 150 wen on the fourth day, and nearly 10,000 were harvested every day.

With a few more subordinates escorting the ducks away, there were only more than ten people left in the original team of more than 20 people.

And the five-day period is only the last day.

During this period, Deng Jinbiao has been accompanied, busy before and after, so that this group of people are quite grateful.

But thanks to thanks, the current results have made everyone a little distressed, the whole four days of acquisition, only received more than 40,000 ducks, and finally rose to a high price of 150 Wen, such a result, so that the whole team fell into a kind of pessimism and sorrow.

In the evening, the Beiliang nobleman sat in the room, still sitting opposite Deng Jinbiao across a table of wine and food.

"Brother Deng, let's not hide it, we are still a long way from the plan set by the master for us this time. Can Brother Deng help me figure out a way? ”

Deng Jinbiao sighed, "It's not that I don't want to help, but my son-in-law made it clear that he doesn't want to get involved in this matter." ”

"Brother Deng!" The other party directly pressed Deng Jinbiao's hand, looking anxious, "Tomorrow is the last day, tomorrow afternoon we have to leave for Beijing anyway, so I am willing to pay for Brother Deng to help get in touch, I will give you two hundred wen, how can you give them all respect!" ”

Deng Jinbiao was ecstatic, but his face showed embarrassment, "I really want to earn your money, but I really don't have the ability!" I am a Qin family merchant. ”

"Brother Deng, you can't see death without help! I'll give you 300 wen! Please Brother Deng must help! ”

"That's it!" Deng Jinbiao sighed, "I'll go and contact overnight, do my best!" ”

The Beiliang nobleman stood up excitedly and pressed his hand to his chest, "Brother Deng, no matter what the result is, the most precious friendship in the next place will be given to you, my most precious friend!" ”

——

On the other side, in the middle of the capital city, in the Qin Mansion.

A carrier pigeon accurately landed on the shelf of the pigeon house, and the person in the pigeon house immediately stepped forward to take it down, checked the imprint, and hurried out the door and knocked on Qin Yuwen's door.

"Childe, Liang Du replied."

Qin Yuwen, who was discussing with Steward Xiao about the "battle" with the Marquis of Jiang'an, as well as the details of the duck hoarding plan, immediately got up, took the letter wrapped in a roll and opened it, and his face changed suddenly.

Steward Xiao hurriedly asked curiously: "Childe, what does the letter say?" ”

Qin Yuwen turned his head to look at him, his expression was a little complicated, "There is only one powerful person in Liang Du who has been seriously ill recently, and it is also in line with what the person said. ”

"Who?"

"Emperor Liang's most beloved seventh princess is said to have been ill for a long time and has not appeared for several months."

"Shhh
