Volume 1: Beiyue Sect Chapter 027: Mining Area
Zhao Tianlei said: "It's not a very high tax, I, Zhaojiazhuang, am their old customer, and the tax is lower." As he spoke, he glared at his daughter, the meaning was very clear, if Ye Shubai knew that they were going to buy goods at a high price, he was afraid that this young man would not dare to accept their gifts.
Zhao Rong'er understood and said with a smile: "Yes, we are old customers, and the purchase is much cheaper." ”
Ye Shubai's entire net worth has been given to the stall owner, and now there is nothing else on his body except dry food, if the yang stone can not be picked up in vain, he will be worried, Zhao Zhuang owner This is to solve his urgent need, he was both moved and a little embarrassed and said: "Thank you Zhao Zhuang master, seriously, I didn't have any money on me, because I thought that the yang stone there could be picked up for nothing." ”
Master Zhao patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Ye, you will be my Zhaojiazhuang's guest in the future, if Brother Ye has financial difficulties, even if he speaks, Zhao should help him." ”
Zhaojiazhuang is just an ordinary villager, the family in the Zhuangzi is just a few reckless strong men, you can do coolies, martial arts can not be talked about at all, there are also martial artists who have been eliminated by the sect in the middle of the year, although they are only the lowest martial artists in the first layer of the quenching realm, but they have long been robbed by the big families, and he can't enter the eyes of the martial artists with a small village. Now that he finally met a martial artist, he was still a second-tier martial artist, Zhao Tianlei was as happy as if he had won the prize, he glanced at his daughter, and then at Ye Shubai, his heart blossomed, and a bold idea rose.
Hearing that the other party was so generous, Ye Shubai waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no, Master Zhao Zhuang is too polite, Shubai is a disciple of the sect, and his usual homework is cultivation, and the sect has all covered food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and there is no need to spend any money, so there will be no financial difficulties." ”
Zhao Tianlei smiled: "It's okay, I'll just say that, as long as Brother Ye is in trouble, he can find Zhao at any time, and Zhao must stick a knife in both ribs, and it is incumbent on him to repay his kindness." ”
Ye Shubai said: "Thank you, thank you!"
The next day, Ye Shubai got the treatment of sharing a car with Zhao Zhuang, Zhang Ergou hated it! A little aggrieved to lure the wolf into the room, seeing Ye Shubai, he was also fat and stinky. However, Ye Shubai is now a celebrity in front of Zhao Zhuang, and even if he is dissatisfied, he does not dare to express it.
Zhao Rong'er has had a dream of becoming a martial artist since she was a child, she only hates herself as a man, otherwise she would have gone to the sect to participate in the trial ceremony. However, with her qualifications, even if she is a son, she can't become a disciple of the sect and can't be a martial artist.
So Zhao Rong'er's worship of martial artists is obvious.
When Ye Shubai and Zhao Tianlei shared a car, Zhao Rong'er pestered Ye Shubai and asked him about the life and cultivation in the sect.
Within a day, the Zhao family's convoy arrived at the periphery of Mangshan. There were noticeably more convoys of stones on the road. Zhaojiazhuang's convoy stopped and walked, and finally came to the foot of Mangshan Mountain. The people of Yin Jiumen built a simple gatehouse on the road at the foot of the mountain, but all individuals or groups entering the mining area had to charge a capitation fee of ten cents per person.
There are more than 100 people in the Zhao family's team, and for this alone, they have to pay more than 1,000 yuan.
"The boss of this mining area is really domineering, customers come to do business with him, and they actually have to pay a capitation fee, what is the reason?" Ye Shubai was quite puzzled.
Zhao Rong'er said in a low voice: "Yin Jiumen is an overlord in this area of Mangshan, there are mines in hand, others will only come to beg them, how can they sit on the ground and raise the price, eat and take cards, others can't help them." Do you think that their mine only sells yangshi? They only sell yangshi in a small business, and the majority sells iron ore and copper ore, which is the reason why Yinjiumen is so rich. ”
Zhao Tianlei reprimanded in a low voice: "Girl, be quiet!"
Sure enough, the Zhao family's convoy finally squeezed into the busy mining area, but was scolded and scolded by the people of Yin Jiumen, pushed them to the side, and made way for those convoys that pulled iron ore, and there was no due treatment for the old patrons in Zhao Tianlei's mouth.
After waiting for a long time, he came to the ore area, Zhao Tianlei ordered people to quickly put the stones into the carriage, these stones have different colors and shapes, some black, some brown, and white, and the gang of family members moved them all, and it didn't take long to fill the boxes on the carriage, and then hurriedly evacuated.
Facing the stones all over the ground and the constant scolding and urging of the people of the Yin Nine Gate, Ye Shubai was also dumbfounded, and said Okay, let me pick a good one, I didn't care, I just picked a black stone casually, carried it in my hand and left.
When the convoy left the mining area and came to the pricing area, a sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked guy came to count the number of stones, and then reported it, so that the person who collected the money would receive the silver.
"Steward Chen, Steward Chen, this amount is not right, why has the price increased again, didn't you say last time that the big yang stone is three or four dollars a piece, the middle yang stone is two or eight dollars a piece, and the small yang stone is one or two five dollars a piece? Zhao Tianlei's face was like ashes, and he walked towards a middle-aged fat man standing on a high place in a panic, and asked urgently.
The fat man had a big mole under his chin, and there were long hairs on the mole, and he was brushing the long mole hair, his nostrils were facing the sky, and his small eyes were pointing at him, and he said: "Master Zhao, you have earned a lot of money over the years, you earn so much, just a son and a daughter, can you spend it all? Shouldn't you honor our master? If you don't increase the price, it really can't be justified." Do you say yes, Lord Zhao!"
Zhao Tianlei's face was ugly, so he could only smile and say: "Steward Chen is reasonable, he should honor your master, but if you raise the price, the money on my side will not be enough, and I have to unload some goods." ”
Steward Chen stroked the mole hair slowly, closed his eyes, and said, "It's okay, take it off." ”
After tossing for more than half a day, the Zhao family's team finished delivering, and finally pulled the goods out of the hot mining area.
On the way back, the Zhao family's convoy did not have the scene of singing and frolicking all the way in the past, but instead there was a gloomy fog, and many people began to curse the unscrupulous and despicable Yin Jiumen. Since each yang stone has risen by one or two pieces of silver, this batch of goods is pulled back, it is difficult to make a profit, if you lose money, the big guy's bonus will not be able to get it. Due to the greater risk on the road to transport stones, the owner of Zhao Zhuang implemented a system of bonuses and remuneration for the families, and the bonuses were issued according to the profits of the transaction, and the remuneration was basically fixed.
If you lose money on trading, the bonus is gone.
"Yin Jiumen really lives up to the word yin, it's really yin enough. But they also dare to exploit their own compatriots, and they know that they are in the nest. They have the ability to rush out of the human realm to exploit the demons and demons. Zhao Rong'er said indignantly.
Zhao Tianlei sighed: "Rong'er, don't say it again, people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat." This is something that cannot be changed. ”
Ye Shubai sneered: "The eldest lady is right, the reason why we human beings have been reduced to the lowest creatures of the Eternal Continent is because we are not united enough. How can a plate of scattered sand gather great strength?"
Zhao Rong'er said: "Brother Ye is right, our human emperor, Emperor Li Hao of the Tang Dynasty, is respectful to other races, but he can't straighten his backbone at all, I really don't know ......."
"Okay, Rong'er, don't say any more. Do you know that it is a great sin to punish the nine clans by talking about the saints of today. Zhao Tianlei reprimanded.
Zhao Rong'er stuck out her tongue, pouted, and said, "Dad, although what I said is not good, it is the truth. This year is the year of sacrificing the Hongmeng gluttonous beast again, and we humans have to sacrifice the lives of 600 young children, think about it, 600 fresh little lives, this kind of tragic thing, our emperor not only did not object, but actually happily sacrificed his people, you say he is still human...... Ahh
Zhao Rong'er was slapped by his father, and Zhao Tianlei said angrily: "You dead girl, if you talk nonsense, I will beat you to death." Do you know that what you just said, if you are denounced, our Zhao family will be punished by the Nine Clans. Do you know how many people you're going to kill?"
Zhao Rong'er covered half of her face, tears fell like beads of broken thread, suddenly stood up, and got out of the carriage angrily.
"Hey, Miss, where are you going?" Ye Shubai wanted to go out with him.
"Leave her alone, let her reflect on herself. Zhao Tianlei said angrily, paused, and suddenly said loudly: "Lao Li, you go and see the eldest lady." ”
