Chapter 13 His Royal Highness King Yan does not want to return to Beijing
"Master, we didn't buy anything, why don't we ......"
Looking at this discount, the price is still shocking.
Wang Lishi stammered and looked at Zhao Chongyuan.
Zhao Chongyuan glanced at the two children who were piled up next to him and couldn't see the figures, and then at the two carriages with large bags and small bags outside the Zhao firm.
That's when I reacted.
It's not that they don't sell anything, it's that they sell too much.
He sold forty of the enamel clocks that could calculate the time, as well as the Tianmu Mirror that could see far away, and almost a hundred, and planned to equip one for the important generals in the Daqian army after he returned.
But the problem is that even if they bought two whole carriages, plus four people, they wouldn't be able to take it.
It won't cost a full 170,000 taels of silver.
Their tax burden is only how much they have in a year.
These 170,000 taels are worth half a year's tax in a county.
Especially the price of these 170,000 taels is still after a 5% discount.
If you don't finish the five-fold discount, it will be more than 340,000 taels.
What's more, they didn't come out with so much silver this time.
When it was full, he brought 70,000 taels of silver.
It's just a fraction of a penny....
"That, we...."
Zhao Chongyuan stood in place, and was stunned for a long time, unable to say a word.
You say there is money, they do.
You say they don't have any money, and they really don't.
Because the money on his body is only enough to pay a fraction......
It's not that he, Zhao Chongyuan, is a profligate lord, but that there are too many strange things in this Zhao family's firm.
Claircase.
Enamel clock!
There was also a soap that was more fragrant than the pancreas made by the best craftsmen in their palace, and a perfume that looked ordinary but contained a strong fragrance.
These things were brought back and rewarded to the concubines in his harem.
If nothing else, the grudge can be reduced by half for at least a moment.
As for the glass cups that they regarded as treasures before.
It's rubbish compared to these things.
It's no wonder that the herdsman looked at them as treasures and hated them for hillbillies.
Compared with clairvoyance, enamel clocks, and perfumes, it is really rubbish......
But none of these issues matter at the moment.
Importantly, he didn't have enough money in his pocket.
He went out to buy things in an emperor's micro-service, and the silver in his pocket was not enough!
Isn't this going to be laughed at?
Where is his old face Zhao Chongyuan?
"You don't have no money in your pocket, do you?"
Looking at Zhao Chongyuan's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, the shopkeeper seemed to see Zhao Chongyuan's embarrassment, stepped forward, and looked at Zhao Chongyuan with an unkind expression.
"Big ....."
Seeing this disrespectful appearance, Wang Lishi opened his mouth and wanted to drink.
But look at the posture around him, and the few burly men who have come over with maces.
When the words came to his mouth, he suddenly changed, and looked at the shopkeeper with a smile: "This big brother, look at what you said, our master is a businessman, and when he goes out to buy things, how can he not carry silver on him?" ”
"Then give the money."
The shopkeeper stretched out his hand.
Wang Lishi suddenly laughed: "It's not that the things in your business house are really good to see the shopkeeper, our master is happy to see it, why don't you stop it..."
Speaking of this, Wang Lishi suddenly looked at the shopkeeper with a smile on his face.
"What do you say if you don't have money?"
The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows and looked at Wang Lishi and Zhao Chongyuan with a playful expression.
"No, no, no, we didn't have enough money,"
Wang Lishi shook his head again and again, and without waiting for the shopkeeper to speak, he quickly took out seven silver tickets from his body and handed them to the shopkeeper, "My lord came to Youzhou for the first time, so he didn't have much silver on his body.
Otherwise, how about you give us as many goods as you can sell for this silver? ”
The shopkeeper quietly glanced at the tour guide on the side, and saw that the latter nodded.
Only then did he say: "I have seen a lot of outsiders like you, and you don't have any money in your pocket, and you still buy them all in a hurry." ”
Listen to the shopkeeper.
Wang Lishi and Zhao Chongyuan were also embarrassed.
Shame,
They have lived for most of their lives, and it is the first time they have been counted down like this.
The shopkeeper saw that Zhao Chongyuan and Wang Lishi stopped talking, so he accepted it when he saw it: "Okay, for your sake, forget it for your first time, and don't take it as an example." ”
"Eh, eh."
Wang Lishi was overjoyed and hurriedly handed over the silver ticket in his hand.
Half an hour later.
Looking at the cargo that had suddenly shrunk by more than half, I was thinking about the two full truckloads of strange things just now.
Zhao Chongyuan and Wang Lishi were suddenly a little excited.
The black-hearted tour guide walked over with a smile on his face: "Two guest officers, since the things have been bought, the little one will take someone to send the things of the two guest officers to the carriage first." ”
"I'm tired."
Zhao Chongyuan replied with interest, and he didn't bother to raise his head.
But when the corner of his eye looked at the work of the black-hearted tour guide and several Zhao firms, he looked excited, especially after the thing was loaded into the carriage, he couldn't wait to get up and run hard.
Zhao Chongyuan felt that something was wrong again.
"Lux, we've been cheated again, right?"
How these two words "again" are magical.
Not to mention that Zhao Chongyuan was stunned, even Wang Lishi was stunned.
Why are there only two "again"?
But looking at the things on those carriages, Wang Lishi still said with a regretful face: "Your Majesty, I think we have a lot of fun selling today, the only pity is that there is less silver, otherwise we can bring a little more." ”
Wang Lishi blinked.
"It's still a good deal?"
Zhao Chongyuan snorted: "That's a full 70,000 taels of silver, how much silver is there in my inner treasury?"
70,000 taels, that is half a year's tax in a county town, two princes' annual income, can support 3,000 people for half a year's expenses, is money that ordinary people can't earn in a lifetime.
But now, so much silver sold the stuff of a carriage.
You're still telling me it's a good deal? ”
Zhao Chongyuan looked at Wang Lishi with fire in his eyes.
"Huh? So much? ”
As soon as this account was settled, Wang Lishi was suddenly shocked and looked at Zhao Chongyuan with a stunned expression.
They just went down for 70,000 taels of silver?
And then bought a cart of stuff?
Or are they all things that seem to be novel, but in fact the cost is not very high?
"Your Majesty, we were given by them... Give...."
Touching his bare pockets, Wang Lishi was so anxious that he pointed to the direction where the black-hearted tour guide led people to run away, and stomped his feet!
Zhao Chongyuan's face was even darker than carbon: "This rebel, even if you pit others, dare to pit him." ”
With his eyes, he could naturally see that there was no Zhao Ding's support behind this.
Give these Youzhou small merchants and hawkers nine daring to slaughter outsiders like this!
"Your Majesty, then let's return it!"
Wang Lishi gritted his teeth and said.
He is a dignified celebrant and a great eunuch, and he has not seen any storms and waves over the years.
But how could it capsize in this small Youzhou City.
"Oh, my stinky face."
Wang Li was so angry that he slapped himself twice.
Zhao Chongyuan's face was gloomy: "Return? Stand back, I can't afford to lose this face. ”
He was pitted in his son's fiefdom.
There is not a dime left in the pit.
Afterwards, after the reaction, do you want to return the goods?
Where is his face gone?
Raise your legs and walk towards the bottom of the steps of the Zhao Firm.
But it didn't take two steps.
Zhao Chongyuan and Wang Lishi were stunned.
Is this still Youzhou City that they came all the way to before?
Why are the streets and alleys full of carts pushing yellow mud?
Some people were busy pouring yellow mud on the road, and some people were busy turning the yellow mud into mud and painting it on the walls made of green bricks.
Others had already climbed onto the roof, busily laying a layer of thatch on the roof tiles.
"What is this for?"
Zhao Chongyuan looked confused.
"I don't know."
Wang Lishi was also confused.
What are you doing with a good street like this?
Have nothing to do, can you hold on to your fill?
Even when they were stunned for a while, someone came over and deliberately pulled a few bubbles of cow on the road.
Then step on a sparse sparse piece.
If they weren't two stops away, they would have been sprayed in the face.....
"I'll ask."
Wang Lishi spoke, and then hurriedly trotted all the way, walked forward, looked at one of the ordinary people who were working, and asked: "What is this doing, a good city, why do you do this?" ”
"Out-of-town?"
The man asked.
"Eun."
Wang Lishi nodded again and again.
"Phew, the affairs of the locals, the outsiders don't inquire about it."
The man spat at the mouth of the mouth, rubbed it, and continued to pick up the shovel and lift the yellow mud against the wall.
"Forehead ....."
Wang Lishi looked embarrassed, turned his head and glanced at Zhao Chongyuan, looking helpless.
Poop!
Poop!
Poop!
That's when I heard it.
The sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from the front.
A team of depressors wearing official uniforms suddenly came from outside the crowd, and the man led by him knocked on the gong and shouted: "Brothers, fathers and fellow villagers, whether His Royal Highness King Yan can stay in our Youzhou depends on yours, pick up my arms and work hard, from now on, who dares to say that we are rich in Youzhou, Lao Tzu will sew up the chrysanthemums for him first,
And from today onwards, every night when I go home, I will go to the kitchen to drink two bowls of swill, don't drink if it's not rancid, if it's rancid, if you drink it, it's going to be rancid.
vomit and leak for a few days first, and make your face a little embarrassed. ”
After speaking, he pointed to the fat and Yuantong young man in the crowd: "That dead fat man, don't turn your head, it's you, from now on give Lao Tzu twenty laps around the city, when you are thin and like a hemp pole, stop me when you are."
Don't look at what kind of place our Youzhou is under the eyes of the dog emperor, can you raise such a big waist and round waist as you?
Run for Lao Tzu! ”
Poop!
The official who was the leader struck a hammer on the gong again.
"This time, it depends on you whether His Royal Highness King Yan can continue to stay in our Youzhou!
Brothers, pick up my arms and me! ”
After the officials shouted together.
Suddenly, the people of the entire Youzhou City worked harder to spread mud on the wall!
Only Zhao Chongyuan and Wang Lishi were left confused.
How did Zhao Ding know about their coming to Youzhou?
Looking at each other, two big question marks appeared in the eyes of the two at the same time.
Wang Lishi paused for a long time before saying, "Your Majesty, is it possible that the queen mother ventilated His Royal Highness King Yan in advance?" ”
"Queen?"
Zhao Chongyuan muttered to himself.
Wang Lishi continued: "Your Majesty, there are very few people who know about our coming to Youzhou, except for the queen, there seems to be no one else, or you told Niangniang before leaving." ”
"Uh...."
Zhao Chongyuan's face stiffened, "But isn't this rebel doing well now?" ”
Wang Lishi sneered: "His Royal Highness King Yan is doing well, but His Royal Highness King Yan doesn't say so in the fold." ”
Zhao Chongyuan: "......"
Right now.
A young man dressed in a servant service walked in front of Zhao Chongyuan: "The three should be the foreign merchants who came to our Youzhou today, and our Royal Highness King Yan is invited." ”
