"You're so cautious about inquiring, you won't want to do what you want." Bafang led the horse close to Meng Changqing, "Young Master, haven't you already written to Uncle Dongwen and asked him to collect potato seeds and bud rice seeds in the capital?"

There is no shortage of these things in the capital, and it is only a matter of time before Uncle Dongwen sends them, why do you bother so much, and what potato seeds are you looking for here?

Look at what you mean, you have a lot of posture to offer. ”

"It's a gift." Meng Changqing noticed the tea stall in front of him and motioned for everyone to go there, "Today's imperial court is such a atmosphere, you have to give gifts when you meet, I want to be maverick, but the matter is in front of me, and it is the first thing to solve the matter."

As for Uncle Dongwen's side. Meng Changqing glanced at Chu Mufeng, who was walking beside him, without a trace, "It's because I'm late for the letter, even if Uncle Dongwen sends someone to deliver it, he will probably miss the agricultural time."

Besides, how can you expect others to serve you for what you want to do? ”

While talking, the group entered the tea stall, and Bafang led the horses of several people and tied them to a nearby pillar.

"Stallholder, serve some food and tea."

While the stall owner was serving tea, Meng Changqing immediately chatted with him, "Is your small shop's business okay?" ”

There were no other customers at the tea stall, and the stall owner was happy to gossip to pass the time: "My small shop has no cost, and some people come to sit every afternoon, and the business is okay."

Guest, I don't hear that your accent is like a local, you came from the direction of Beijing to do business.

Our small business is not comparable to you, a big businessman who travels from south to north. ”

Meng Changqing continued: "We people seem to make a lot of money, but we actually lose a lot. ”

"That's true, too." The stall owner brought up a basket of hot steamed buns, "I don't have any good things in this stall, only this yellow-noodle steamed bun costs two, don't be too expensive, I added sugar here, and it tastes sweet." ”

Meng Changqing said to everyone: "Everyone is tired after walking all night, let's eat something." ”

She said that everyone could do it, and the stall owner could see it, "You don't look very old, and when you came out with your father and brother, it turns out that you are the person in charge." ”

"I also followed my father and brother to make up the numbers, but unfortunately they passed away in an accident a few years ago, leaving me alone to support the family's business, but fortunately, the people left to me by my father and brother are very loyal, so I can barely hold on."

"It's really not easy." The stall owner stood at the table and gossiped, "Guest officer, let me inquire, what kind of business do you do?" ”

"Selling tea."

"Tea?" The stall owner was puzzled, "Isn't your goods with you?" ”

Meng Changqing said something like that, "When my family does business, people always come out first, and the goods are shipped only after the negotiation is completed,"

"Oh, I haven't done a big deal, I don't know how to ask questions, don't mind." The stall owner said, "But it should be like this, if the negotiation is not good, the provincial goods will enter the city, and the cost of entering the city for a truckload of goods will be a lot." ”

After he finished speaking, he realized that he had said bad words, and apologized again and again, "Look at my mouth, your business will definitely be negotiated, I don't know what kind of tea it is?" If the price is right, I would like to buy two catties. ”

"There is any kind of tea, the buyer has been set, and if there is more after the negotiation, you will definitely be given two catties."

The stall owner was embarrassed, "How can you take advantage of this?" ”

"Let me ask you something, how much does my cart of tea cost to enter the city?"

"That's not good." The stall owner said, "It depends on how much you have to see, and it also depends on the value of your goods, it is the officers and soldiers who defend the city have the final say, if you can get in touch with the officers and soldiers who defend the city, it can be much cheaper." ”

"yes, thank you."

Meng Changqing and others ate steamed buns at the stall, and then went directly to Yizhou Mansion.

"Didn't you say you were going to send something?" Bafang dismounted and leaned over and asked, "Did you bring it?" ”

"When you're out and about, you always have to bring something." Meng Changqing has a plan, and he is bound to prepare a few things in the package.

This Yizhou prefect, just from the news heard below, you can know that this person with a high probability of greed can, and it is best to send such a person.

Meng Changqing doesn't have much money on her, but she has a lot of treasures, and most of them are gadgets rewarded by the palace.

These things are delicate in appearance and valuable, but because they are given by nobles in the palace, even if they lack money, they cannot be pawned.

Otherwise, if it is denounced, it will be a great disrespectful crime.

can see but can't make it, in Meng Changqing's opinion, it's useless.

Now, it's time to take these things to send this Yizhou prefect who has never met.

It seems to be precious, but it is actually thunder. Meng Changqing also didn't plan to deal with the other party more, so he dared to give such a gift.

Bafang reported his identity, and handed the letter of introduction written by Wei Fangyunshu to the other party, "Please also ask the guard brother to report." ”

"Wait."

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the person who went back to report came out again, "Master Meng, please come in with me." ”

Meng Changqing followed the official in front of him all the way, and stopped in front of a hospitality room, and the official reminded: "Please also take off the saber on your waist." ”

Meng Changqing pretended to come back to his senses, untied the knife in his hand and handed it to the eight directions behind him, "You guys are waiting at the door, Lord Bai, do you want to go in with me?" ”

"Who is this?" The official didn't expect there to be an adult in the crowd.

Chu Mufeng himself introduced: "The Royal Forest Army guards Bai Mufeng. ”

The prefect of Yizhou heard the movement inside, and walked out by himself, just a glance, and then looked at all the people standing outside the door, "Meng Zhixian, since you have arrived, why do you stand at the door and not go in?" ”

Yang Youde, the prefect of Yizhou, is quite old, his hair and beard are gray, and although he only wears civilian clothes, he can see that he is exquisite.

"Lord Futai." Meng Changqing bowed, "Rushing to the door, bothering adults." ”

Yang Youde put one hand behind his back, and stroked his beard with the other, his face was detached and polite, "Go in and sit down and talk, as for this lord of the Royal Forest Army, go in too." ”

"What Meng Zhixian has done, officials from top to bottom are very impressed." As Yang Youde's words fell, the people in the house had already brought tea and snacks to them.

"It's just a coincidence, without the full support of the imperial court, I can't do it alone."

Yang Youde looked at the person sitting at the bottom, "Although Meng Zhixian is young, his height is not low, and he wants to follow General Dingbei." ”

Meng Changqing smiled, and then took out a dark red brocade bag from the package.

"Lord Yang, please accept a little heart."

The person standing behind Yang Youde stepped forward, took the bag, and handed it to Yang Youde.

Taking advantage of the man's cover, Yang Youde opened the bag and glanced at the bag, it was a very delicate piece of gold cake, half a palm size, and the pattern on the gold cake was also quite exquisite, which was by no means an ordinary craft.

"In the end, it's a good thing that only exists in the capital, Lord Meng has a heart." He stuffed the bag into his arms and picked up the two things in his hand, which were the official document written by Wei Fangyun and the name note handed in by Meng Changqing.

"You're going to borrow two kinds of seeds, and I only have potato seeds here." Yang Youde said, "Sit back and wait for a while, I have already instructed someone to call the general judgment, if there is still in the library, I will lend it to you." ”
