"Our warehouses are full of grain, and this year's harvest is coming soon. How about selling all the remaining grain to you?"
Lu Bai nodded.
He also does business fairly.
"I purchase the food at the average price in the city. However, if there is more food, the balance will have to be paid later."
In ten days or half a month, we will go to a neighboring city to buy salt.
This is related to the foundation of the White Wolf Gang, so Lu Bai has to leave some cash for turnover, and he won't be able to eat much food for the time being.
The big black cow sister doesn't care about this.
"These are all easy to say. It's okay if food prices are low."
She was in urgent need of money, "We are in urgent need of five thousand taels of silver now. Look..."
I still have five thousand taels of silver.
Lu Bai agreed.
However, he was curious, "Why do you need money so badly?"
The bull demons farmed and grew their own food in the valley. They had no worries about food and clothing, but they didn't know what to do with their money in a hurry.
"Salt, it's not just for salt." Sister Dahei Niu said.
Their cattle almost never leave the salt, and in order to buy salt, they must have silver.
Lu Bai became interested.
Aren't the bull demons isolated in the valley? "You buy your salt with silver? Where does it come from?"
"Yanshan!"
Yanshan is deep in the wilderness, a hundred kilometers away.
This mountain range is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the basin is relatively concave. Water accumulates in the low-lying areas to form a lake. It is named because the overall shape resembles an inkstone. The lake in Yanshan Mountain is a salt lake that produces salt. It is now occupied by a group of wolf demons.
The monster in Baili wants to eat salt, so he must buy it with silver.
Monsters each have their own strengths. Take the cow monsters, for example, who are good at farming and have the most food. But the wolf monsters eat meat and don't eat salt, so they carry grain to buy without even looking at it. They probably look at the cow monsters.
They were salivating.
Silver therefore became the best currency for buying and selling salt.
Lu Bai was surprised.
He had never heard of Yanshan. As far as he knew, all the salt in Yancheng came from neighboring cities. He thought Yancheng did not produce salt.
Never would I have imagined that there is a salt lake hidden in a mountain hundreds of miles away.
Lu Bai thought about it again and felt that it was not surprising.
Human beings live surrounded by cities and know very little about the wilderness, and the wilderness is so vast that it is beyond imagination. It is not surprising that there are several salt lakes, and even mountains of gold and silver.
The only thing that makes him excited is that if this salt lake is in his hands——
Forget it, don't be in a hurry.
Lu Bai had only left the city for a few days, and he was already worried about him, and he couldn't go far away for the time being.
What Lu Bai was also confused about was, what if these wolf monsters took money? This thing had to be spent to be useful.
And where money can be spent——
Well.
Yancheng.
They will try their best to get to Yancheng and spend their money.
Lu Bai decided to go back and let the beggars pay attention.
"Brother Lu?"
Sister Daheiniu waved her hand in front of Lu Bai.
"Huh?" Lu Bai came back to his senses.
"How do we do business?" Sister Da Hei Niu asked.
Now that everything is out of the question, the next question is how to deliver the food to Lu Bai.
Lu Bai pondered for a moment.
They agreed to make a deal outside the city. When the time came, the bull demon would deliver the grain truck to the wilderness outside the city. Lu Bai sent someone to pick it up and disguised himself as a grain team to enter the city.
"Can."
Sister Daheiniu made an agreement with Lu Bai that after seven days, she would hand over food in one hand and money in the other.
After the deal was negotiated, Sister Daheiniu sent Lu Bai out of the valley.
On the way, Lu Bai thought that since the Niu Yao was so short of money, he could give them a way to earn money.
"What way?" Sister Da Hei Niu asked.
"Herbs."
Lu Bai is not only Da Hei Niu's disciple, there will be many places where medicinal herbs will be used in the future.
"You can't keep selling food, right?" Lu Bai said.
Sister Daheiniu thinks this business can be done.
I don’t eat meat either.
She agreed.
While they were talking, they left the valley and Lu Bai said goodbye to her.
Above the wilderness, there are jungles one after another, and the remaining grass is long and full of life in the sun.
After living in the city for a long time, his eyes were full of people. Now that he was suddenly in the wilderness, Lu Bai felt like an ant.
Along the way he came, Lu Bai slept in a tree at night and traveled during the day. It took him four days to successfully get out of the wilderness and arrive at the town. Of course, this was also because he was still on the outskirts of the wilderness, and the only powerful monsters around him were the wild boar spirits.
And the bull demon.
Lu Bai picked up his horse in the town.
After the wine shop owner learned that Lu Bai was a member of the White Wolf Gang, he took very good care of him and insisted on not charging him for the rent.
He only has one request, that is, if the salt can be sold a little cheaper.
Although Lu Bai has this right, he cannot open his mouth.
He put the money on the counter and couldn't wait to return to the city.
After entering the city, Lu Bai first went to the Baihu Guardhouse.
He walked for so many days and wanted to know what happened to Baihu Guardhouse.
General Wang Qi was not here, and most of his line of guards were also out.
Only Deputy Baihu and Lu Bai, the subordinate of the general banner, were at the guard station.
When Deputy Baihu saw Lu Bai, his smile bloomed, and the gloominess on his face also bloomed, especially like a blown cow dung. He greeted Lu Bai cordially, "Brother Lu, you will be going out in a few days. You
Go back and have a good rest, there will be nothing serious at the guard station."
Lu Bai responded politely.
No one could tell that both of them wanted to kill each other.
Since there was nothing to do at the guard station, Lu Bai didn't stay too long.
He bowed his hands and left.
On the way home on horseback, Lu Bai saw Jin Yiwei walking through the streets, and the government officials were also busy on the streets.
Nothing happened like what Deputy Baihu said.
While he was wondering, Lu Bai saw that people from the White Wolf Gang were also looking for people, coming out of inns and wine shops from time to time, nodding to people on the street. Beggars also came out, carrying dog-beating sticks, walking through the alleys.
problem occurs!
Lu Bai raised his heart.
The leaders of the Beggar Clan and White Wolf Clan also met Lu Bai at this moment.
People from the White Wolf Gang came over and said, "Master."
He learned Kung Fu from Lu Bai, hence his name.
Now these disciples of the Haoqi Sect can now act independently in the Beggar Clan and White Wolf Clan. They may not be able to take charge, but they can still be used as thugs on the street.
The White Wolf Gang also became stronger because of the joining of this group of disciples.
Lu Bai dismounted, "What happened?"
"Master, sir, the senior sister is missing." The disciple looked anxious.
Lu Bai's mind was buzzing.
Plop, plop.
His heart also beat rapidly.
"Who..." Lu Bai's throat was dry and he couldn't speak clearly, so he asked again, "Wang'er?"
The disciple nodded.
Be quiet for a moment.
Lu Bai calmed down and asked, "When did you disappear?"
At this moment, many people flashed through his mind, the face-masking monk, the eunuch, or the admiral knew that he was running a restaurant and wanted revenge; or were people like the Iron Fist Sect and the Black Tiger Gang seeking revenge?
"Morning." The disciple replied.
Lu Bai looked down at the sky.
It's just dusk now, which is okay. Maybe I forgot to go home because I was having fun. Maybe I went back to Luyuan.
"Have you sent anyone from your hometown?" Lu Bai asked.
The disciple nodded and sent someone, but they haven't come back yet.
"good."
Lu Bai let out a long breath to calm himself down.
The disciple looked troubled and hesitated to speak.
Lu Bai asked him to speak directly.
"Master, a group of gangsters suddenly appeared in the city recently, specializing in kidnapping the families of officials, squires, and wealthy businessmen in the city to extort money."
The leader of the White Wolf Gang, Lu Bai, is now famously wealthy in the city, and his disciples are afraid that these gangsters will capture the senior sister.
Rough bandit?
Lu Bai asked how the family members of the wealthy merchants who had been robbed were doing.
"After paying the money, they returned home safe and sound." The disciple replied.
Lu Bai was relieved.
Since you don't tear up the vote, it's easier to deal with it morally. It's just money, you can pay it in any amount.
