Chapter 10: The Profiteer's Father

This time when he entered the city, Shen Jian also followed, hiding in the statue and preparing to see the situation in the county. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Setting off before dawn, I traveled more than 100 miles all the way, and finally saw the shadow of the county seat of Shanting County on the morning of the third day. Shen Jian, who was bumpy on the road, breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason why it took so long to transport more things is the same thing, and the main reason is that the roads in Shanting County are difficult, and many places are sheep intestine trails.

This place belongs to Yunzhou, known as the seven mountains, one water and two fields. The mountains are mountainous and there is no land for farming, which leads to poverty, and poverty leads to no money to build roads. And then even more poverty.

Under this endless cycle, Yunzhou eventually became poorer and poorer, and it was the poorest state among the nineteen states in the world. The annual tax is not as much as that of a county in Zhongzhou.

"Come on, come on, the group of **** from Lijia Village is here. ā€

"Be careful not to let them hear. When the time comes, my gestures will definitely bring the price down. ā€

A group of men and shopkeepers were in the store, staring closely at the convoy of people, ready to pounce on it and drink blood and eat meat.

Since receiving the guidance of the land god, the old patriarch was full of confidence, collected the furs in the village, and formed a team to come to the county seat to prepare to sell the furs for a good price. didn't know that these pit people and ghosts in the county town had already been strung together, waiting for their arrival.

Seeing them coming, a guy walked out of each of the several shops, and one of them smiled and said, "Yo, this is not Daddy Li, who came to sell skins again, how many goods did you bring this time." ā€

Every time their village came to sell skins, Li Da took the lead, and he couldn't be more familiar with these guys for a long time.

Lee laughed. "Yes, this year's harvest is good, and our village wants to sell the skins for something. ā€

"Okay, Daddy Li let me take a look and promise to give you a good price. ā€

As he spoke, he picked up the fur and wanted to take a look. They were all acquaintances, and Daddy Li was embarrassed to stop them, so he watched from the sidelines. Thinking about where to sell if you can sell it at a good price.

"Tsk, it's really good fur, this grizzly bear doesn't even have a trace of flaw on its fur, I think it's the most clever archer, shooting directly into the eye socket, killing with one blow, so that the grizzly bear doesn't even have room to resist. In order to preserve such a well-preserved fur. What's even more rare is that the leather is smooth, soft and huge. It's a rare good skin. ā€

His words attracted the attention of the surrounding guys, and they all gathered around to watch. Seeing this, they all nodded in agreement.

"It's all old acquaintances, I don't lie to you, I can give such a good skin...... Ten taels of silver. ā€

Ten taels of silver, Li Da's eyes widened, this price is really not low. He has sold a lot of skins, and the best one only sold for three taels. I couldn't help but nod my head in agreement, but thinking of the reserve price given by the old patriarch, I shook my head and said, "It's too cheap." ā€

Another guy said, "It's just that this price is too cheap, I'll pay eleven taels." ā€

Others couldn't help but speak, "Twelve taels." ā€

"Thirteen taels. ā€

"Okay, don't fight, I'll give fourteen taels. If you continue to fight, you will lose money. ā€

The final price was fixed at fifteen taels, and several people looked at him, waiting for him to reply.

Li Dayou agreed, but when he thought of the patriarch's explanation, he hesitated for a while and said, "It's too little, at least one hundred taels." ā€

"Hahaha" a few couldn't help laughing.

"Daddy Li, we are also old acquaintances. You're making such a joke. You go down and inquire, this is the highest price, no matter how high it is, we can't even earn the errand fee. ā€

"That is, don't say a hundred taels, even if it's sixteen taels, my head will be cut off. Bet it or not. ā€

Seeing that they were serious, Li Da believed it a little, but thinking of the old patriarch's instructions, he could only continue to move forward. The group of guys glanced at each other and followed from a distance, watching the excitement.

Sure enough, no one offered a high price, and when they arrived at a Liujia leather store, they were only willing to give a price of 14 taels.

Li's face flushed, but he didn't know how to speak. In the end, he muttered for a long time, saying, "It's too cheap, fifteen taels, if it's fifteen taels, I'll sell it." ā€

The shopkeeper of Liu's leather goods store had a light eye, but he said, "Fifteen taels, it's too expensive." ......ā€

Speaking of this, he paused, and then in Li Da's pleading eyes, he said, "It's not easy for me to see you, fifteen taels is fifteen taels." ā€

Great, at this moment, Li Da couldn't help but thank him for his kindness.

Who knew that Li Hu in the back came over and said, "You are confused, what did the patriarch tell you." You are Mr. Liu Ren, let me say two words to you. ā€

But it was Shen Jian, who was following the caravan, who really couldn't look past it, so he used his possession magic power and came forward in person.

This is also the magic power on the edict, "distraction possession". Divine thoughts can be separated, attached to mortals, and carried out activities.

Seeing his son talking like this, Li Da was furious, but when he saw the light in Li Hu's eyes, he thought of what the land god said to him when he came. Suddenly reacted, retreated to the back and did not speak.

Liu Ren is the owner of a leather goods store. Hearing him say this, although I don't know where he knew his name, I walked over in confusion.

The two whispered a few words, and Liu Ren's face suddenly became ugly. His face was red and purple for a while, and finally he came over and said to a few guys, "Okay, don't look at it, I just got the news that they are the guest of my family." I bought this bear skin for one hundred and twenty taels. Other skins are also traded at fair prices. ā€

But how could a few other guys believe it, who didn't know anyone from Lijia Village. You say that Keqing is Keqing, what did you do earlier, you can't eat alone if you want to.

"Boss Liu, you can't say that. Let's work together, you don't know what rules. Eat alone like this, you ask us who would like it. ā€

"It's Boss Liu, you say he's a guest, it's a guest. What about the proof?"

Liu Ren's face turned red when he was squeezed by them, but it was difficult to refute it. Lowering the price of mountain people's skins has long been the rule of this industry. If anyone dares to give it at the market price, you can't do it if you are guaranteed to run on it.

But the people of Lijia Village gave him a secret message again, if he didn't do this, he would be questioned by the family again.

Seeing these guys talking more and more, they even had the intention of reporting to the Chamber of Commerce. Liu Ren gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "That's it, that's it, I'll buy this bear skin at two hundred and thirty taels, and other skins will also be purchased at the market price, up thirty percent." If you want to take it, I won't stop you. ā€

For a while, the entire lobby was silent. This price can only guarantee that you will not lose money, and it is difficult to earn even the hard money. If it weren't for the unspeakable hardships, who would buy the skins of the mountain people at this price.

They don't know how to speak for a moment. They glanced at each other, glared at Liu Ren fiercely, and turned to leave.

Li Da and Li Ze stayed there for a while, unable to say a word. Originally, the price of fifteen taels they thought was very expensive, and if it weren't for the old patriarch's advice, they would have sold it a long time ago.

Later, it could be sold for one hundred and twenty taels, which was beyond their imagination. Who would have thought that in the end, the boss would give a sky-high price of two hundred and thirty taels. It's pitiful, they've grown so big, they've never even seen a hundred taels.

This time it has multiplied more than a dozen times. Thinking about the skins sold before, it is impossible to imagine how much money this group of profiteers made from them.

If it weren't for the help of the land god, they would still have sold for that pitiful price.

I couldn't thank the land god for the first time.

Of course, the biggest gain among them is Shen Jian. As Liu Ren's words fell, he clearly felt the change in his luck. A large cloud of white qi suddenly gathered around his natal qi. It's just that it's still a little illusory and unreal for the time being, but as long as he can exert a little force, he can pull it back.

According to the number, at least a hundred devout believers will be added to this luck.

Needless to say, it was he who brought so much profit to Lijia Village this time, which attracted many villagers to begin to recognize him and become his devout disciples.

In the end, the settlement was settled, and the skins were sold for six hundred and eighty taels this time, and several people who were happy were smiling and smirking happily there, not knowing what to do.

Shen Jian, who was watching, shook himself secretly, turned his head to Liu Ren and said, "Boss Liu, this time we came out to sell skins, but also hope to be able to buy some things to go back, I don't know if you can help." ā€

"Of course, you are friends of the family, of course I will help. ā€

Liu Ren touched the extra ingots in his sleeve, his smiling face blossomed, and he agreed.

Now Li Da looked at Shen Jian with even more gratitude, if he hadn't reminded him that he would go to the merchant to buy something, the price would definitely be much higher. Whoever made him a dirt bun in the eyes of the people in the county. Don't lie to him to whom.

After negotiating a good deal and bidding farewell to Li Da and the others, Shen Jian wandered around the county aimlessly. The main purpose of his visit this time was to take a look at the situation in the county seat.
