Chapter 35 Buying and Selling
The rainy street is particularly deserted, the hawkers who should have gotten up early are looking at the rain at the moment, and can't help but feel a little sad, this day it rains, it is destined to be a day without customers, the surrounding teahouses, wine shops are better, after all, compared to those vendors, they have a place that can shelter from the wind and rain, so as not to let the guests drench into soup chicken, most of the merchants who usually come and go will come to the wine shop and tea house on a rainy day, and some are looking for "partners" Many people say that Langya is going to fight, for business travelers, this city to fight, there is a lot of money to be made, but life is not necessarily saved, so some businessmen left Langya City early, while some are still waiting, whether this big Chu wants to fight.
"Have you heard? For some reason, our general began to buy a large amount of oil and bamboo in the mountains, and the money given was higher than the actual price, and the most important thing was cash!"
A tea guest in sackcloth looked at the teahouse at this time, but there were few people, and he couldn't help but open this opening, as a topic to relieve boredom, after all, this rainy day space, more people in addition to drinking tea, or like to talk about some of the East family, the Li family is short, but the things talked about today do not seem to be simple, I saw that there was a luxuriously dressed old man at the table next to him, hearing this, his eyes couldn't help but turn, but he stepped forward to talk:
"Hey, can you not know! The movement is so big, and in the past two days, many merchants in Langya City have made a lot of trouble! It's just that the money is so easy to make? Not to mention, this oil and that caravan will carry a large amount of it, and most of the bamboo on the mountain alone are the things of the people of Langya City, for us merchants from other countries, this is a head, just take a look!"
Hearing the words of the eldest master, the little brother in sackcloth shook his head with a smile and sighed lightly:
"Oh! That's sour! I don't have the ability to make money! I just said that it was an add-on, but when the time came, I ran to Zhang Luo, and that's how it is for people like you! The person who wears it looks like a dog, but the ghost knows if this clothes are taken off, whether it is a beast!"
Hearing the words of this little brother in sackcloth with a gun and a stick, the old man's brows were slightly wrinkled, and there was a faint anger on his face, but this fire did not come out after all, he Li Lucheng has been doing business in Da Zhou for many years, and he has long been accustomed to the people of Da Zhou picking on you in the words at every turn, if you are angry at this time, go to him for trouble, maybe people will lie on the ground and rely on you, and then you will have to pay a lot of silver, private this matter, very troublesome, Li Lucheng has seen this kind of thing, but he has seen people, so he does not continue to speak, saving trouble, but he is also worried that his car of goods is cloth, what kind of oil comes from there, but I missed a big buck!, I couldn't help but shake my head.
But this matter is obviously not over, that Mai saw that Li Lucheng did not speak, and thought that he was cowardly, so he continued to speak sarcastically:
"Look at it, look at it, eh! These businessmen hold back their words when they talk about their sore spots, as if they feel how aggrieved they are! If you want me to say it, the most damned thing is that these businessmen are driving up prices at every turn, so that we ordinary people have no clothes to wear, and maybe they can't even eat, but they take care of themselves, and they only think about making that windfall!"
Hearing this, Li Lucheng's anger could no longer be contained, and he just wanted to get up and scold back, but he was stopped by a hand, only to see that a son in front of him came to his side at some point, and at this moment he was firmly pressing his hand on Li Lucheng's shoulder, so that his whole person couldn't move.
"There's no need to get angry with these people, it's hurt to be angry, do business!
Wang Zhiyan whispered a few words at Li Lucheng, but he let go of his hand, turned around and walked towards the little brother in Mai, but asked:
If everyone is like you, then there is still that person in the world who dares to come to my Great Zhou to do business, if these people don't come, how can I say that Great Zhou will be rich? How can I get the name of the world's commercial pivotal? Where do you come with clothes to wear and food to eat?"
Hearing this, the little brother in Mai sneered, and didn't take Wang Zhiyan seriously at all, just looked at Wang Zhiyan and sneered:
"Heh! He still speaks a big Zhou Yayan, but he can talk smoothly! It's just that he can speak, it doesn't mean that he is a person! After all, these days, the forest is big, and everyone has it! It seems that the jade tree is in the wind, but in fact, there are more people who are not as good as animals!"
Hearing this little brother in Mai, Wang Zhiyan was not angry, just shook his head and asked:
"Why did the little brother say this? If I said Da Zhou Yayan but I am not a human, then how can you, the little brother in Mai who speaks Da Zhou dialect, be a human being?"
Hearing Wang bluntly say this, the little brother in Mai slapped the table angrily, attracting all the attention of the scattered crowd nearby, but he scolded loudly:
"Say you're a brute! You don't like to listen to it anymore? Speaking our Da Zhou dialect! But helping the people of Shu to support you, you are also a person? Tell me, ah? I'm ashamed to talk with you!"
Hearing Mai's words, Wang Zhiyan didn't pay attention to it, but turned to Li Lucheng, a merchant from the Shu Kingdom, and said:
"Mr. is extremely worried, I apologize for these people of the Great Zhou Dynasty who can only show the benefits of their tongues, but have no brains, and ask you to come to our Dazhou to do business next time, don't miss the big plan to make money because of some small misunderstandings, then the gains outweigh the losses!"
Hearing this, Li Lucheng couldn't help but carefully look at the literati in front of him, only to see that his eyes were beautiful, the tip of his nose was small, just looking at his face, he felt that there was an indescribable elegance, and with the temperament of his body, including talking, he could conclude that he was not an ordinary person, so Li Lucheng was also secretly thinking about it in his heart, and then he replied:
"Harm! What the son said! This business, there are people who are not scolded, but there are some people! When you go out, you don't look in the mirror, and you forget to come out with your head, we can understand it! Harmony makes money!"
As soon as this sentence came out, the atmosphere of the whole teahouse couldn't help but become tense, but the unobtrusive Mai brother jumped directly from his position, and wanted to grab Li Lucheng's lichen collar and lift him up, and punched him twice, but he didn't want to, before the punch was made, his whole body fell to the ground.
"Sir, don't be surprised, I was too naughty when I was a child, and I practiced some fists and kicks, and I can deal with these ruffians twice."
Looking at the little brother in Mai who collapsed on the ground, he remembered the hand that Wang Zhiyan pressed on his shoulder before, but at this moment Li Lucheng had a trace of doubt in his heart, I don't know what Wang Zhiyan was going to do in front of him?
"Thank you, Childe!"
After saying this, Li Lucheng stood up but waved his hand and thanked him, but he didn't say anything else, but walked directly towards the door, but he hadn't taken two steps, but he had to stop again, just because he heard what Wang Zhiyan said, a word that he couldn't refuse.
"Splendid in Shu, famous with all countries, my wife is especially deeply loved, I am afraid that there are not many splendid in the world, I see Mr. today, but I don't know if I can enjoy a face, come to my house to sit?
Hearing this, Li Lucheng was shocked in his heart, he was surprised not only that Wang Zhiyan knew his name, but also knew that the purpose of his stay in Langya City was because this splendid scenery had not been sold, but he had no return, so he had to stay in Langya, the former can know with a little attention, but the latter, that is the secret that he has to swallow in his stomach when he kills his teeth, is easily said at this moment, but he can't help but be a little afraid.
I saw that at this moment, he was speeding up his pace, so he wanted to go out early, but he didn't expect that this time he only walked two steps and was stopped by Wang Zhiyan.
"If Mr. refuses to appreciate his face, then we don't have to talk about this matter, but it's a pity!
After saying this, Wang Zhiyan walked straight towards the gate, without meaning to stay for half a minute, Li Lucheng looked at Wang Zhiyan's back and couldn't help but feel a trace of fear, it was fear from the bottom of his heart.
He didn't know who this Wang Zhiyan was, nor did he know what Wang Zhiyan wanted to do, but Wang Zhiyan knew him very well, and the last words seemed to be regretful but not a threat? Thinking of this, Li Lucheng suddenly felt a little uneasy, and when he looked at Wang Zhiyan, who was already walking away not far away, he gritted his teeth, chased after him directly, and shouted loudly:
"Please wait a minute, I'm willing to talk to Childe about this!"
Hearing this, Wang Zhiyan couldn't help but smile, but nodded and said:
"Good!"
A simple sentence made Li Lucheng a little overwhelmed, he was already prepared on the way here, no matter how difficult this Wang bluntly said, he also had to find out the truth, so that he could feel at ease, if it was really a business, then even if he was killed, he would have to sell this Shu brocade, but he didn't expect that all this was just his own fantasy?
Li Lucheng felt that his head was a little empty, he had encountered today's situation for the first time in decades, but he didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only nod at Wang Zhiyan, and he didn't know what to say!
"This is not a place where you can communicate, there are many people, please follow me to my burrow, and talk about this purchase of Shu brocade!"
After saying this, Wang Zhiyan walked directly towards his mansion, but he didn't care whether Li Lucheng followed behind him, but he suddenly thought of something but turned back to Li Lucheng and said:
"Sir, don't worry too much, when you get to me, you will naturally understand that it will be beneficial to Mr. and harmless!"
After saying this, Wang Zhiyan didn't care what Li Lucheng thought anymore, and walked directly towards the road ahead, and although Li Lucheng behind him was retreating in his heart at the moment, he thought of Wang Zhiyan's previous means and his own goods, but he gritted his teeth and followed Wang Zhiyan's figure.
