"Okay, then let me see your rules." The old man said solemnly, calling the carriage behind him to come over, "There are five carriages, including the driver, a total of 14 people."
Liu Jun didn't say anything, he just watched what Li Zheng and the others usually did.
But Li Zheng just glanced at the carriage and shouted loudly: "There are 5 carriages, 14 people, and the payment is 70 yuan." After shouting, he handed the money basket to the old man.
The old man didn't expect to be so nimble, so he dug around in his pocket. Maybe he didn't have any change, so he took out an ingot or a tael of silver and put it into the frame.
Li Zheng raised his eyebrows and threw the silver to the younger brother behind him with a flick of his finger: "Now the silver can be exchanged for Tongbao. One tael can be exchanged for 1,100. It's not easy to exchange. I charge you 30 coins for running errands. If you are six, give him 1,000 coins."
"Okay." A young man with a leprosy on his head from behind replied, took out a bunch of money from a pocket on the side and handed it over. These were all counted, 1,000 in total.
The old man took it and his hand sank, watching as these people opened the wooden pole and let the carriage pass.
When the old man put the money in the car, he was not in a hurry to leave, so he went to the snack shop and bought a large bag of steamed buns, a few for each car, and then sat under the shed of the snack shop, holding two steamed buns.
While chewing, his eyes watched the people coming and going.
Liu Jun was never afraid of other people's spies. What he hoped most was that everyone in the world could know his philosophy and how to live better in this world. He let the old man's curiosity go unchecked.
When it was almost noon, Chai County Lieutenant finally came. When he saw Liu Jun, he burst into tears: "Brother, you don't know, I can't tell you what my brother's life has been like during this period. They have been saying that we have colluded."
, but you know, brother, that there is absolutely no interest in the friendship between us."
Liu Jun laughed: "From now on, I'm afraid you won't be able to get rid of this crime."
But Chaixian Lieutenant's eyes lit up: "How do you say that?"
Liu Jun pointed to the goods piled up next to the stuck point: "Those are the tolls collected. It is difficult for us to deal with them, so we leave it to Chai County Lieutenant for help. No matter what price you sell them at, 20% will be given to the county government.
As for how much the 20% is, it depends on what you say."
Then he pointed at Li Zheng and the others who were stuck at the spot: "If you can do their work for them, you will get a share of the money collected by the county."
Not only was Chaixian Lieutenant excited at this time, but the eyes of several officials he brought with him were also shining, and they never mentioned their distribution or anything.
At this moment, Liu Jun raised his finger and set a rule for them: "I only have one rule here, and that is to abide by the 'rules'. You can charge as much as you agreed on. If you break the rules, you will naturally follow the rules on the mountain."
Handle according to rules.”
For a moment, several people were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
"I understand." Captain Chai County wiped the sweat from his forehead and glared at his subordinates behind him. The rules are rules. As long as you abide by the rules, you will not be punished. So why are you so afraid? Is it possible now?
Just thinking about bad rules?
Liu Jun watched Captain Chai and others negotiating with Li Zheng and walked up to the old man who was drinking tea and watching the excitement.
At this moment, several of the old man's carriages were parked under the shade of the trees, and were taken care of by their own drivers, while there were seven or eight children surrounding the old man.
Liu Jun looked at these children. They were both boys and girls. The older ones looked to be eleven or twelve years old, while the younger ones were only six or seven years old. They were all dressed up as scholars.
Liu Jun always felt that although he was clumsy with his words, he was talented at guessing people's thoughts. Especially after practicing the Jingzhe Kung Fu, he was even more accurate. But now after watching it, he really couldn't guess.
"Old man, are you a teacher bringing his disciples out to see the world?" Liu Jun guessed.
The old man laughed, pointed at the youngest child and shouted: "Rongtai."
The child was holding a bun and nibbling it, with his whole face almost covered by the bun. Hearing the old man's call, he raised his head and asked in confusion: "Great-grandfather, what did you tell me to do?"
When the old man saw a piece of dried vegetables on the child's face, he made a sign with his hand.
The child named Rongtai reached out and touched his face, then grabbed the piece of dried vegetables and stuffed it into his mouth.
Liu Jun was filled with admiration and praised: "The old man has taught his children to be so sensible. If it weren't for the words and deeds of his family, it would be the credit of the old man."
The old man looked at the children surrounding him, his eyes full of smiles, but his words were full of sadness: "They are all good children, but the days will become more and more difficult in the future. Let the children experience things in advance, and they will meet in the future.
Difficulties don’t make you feel helpless.”
The eldest child has been taking care of his younger brothers and sisters. When he heard the old man's words, he couldn't help but said: "Don't worry, great-grandfather, my grandson will study hard. When the time comes, he will be named on the gold medal list and get an official position. He will be able to protect the family."
"
The old man's face was full of smiles: "Okay, okay, then Rong Xu, you have to work hard, your younger brothers and sisters are waiting for you to protect them."
Children who are recognized will naturally become more confident and work harder in the future. Liu Jun can't help but wonder which family this old man belongs to.
Liu Jun didn't ask any questions until the old man continued on the road with a group of children.
He asked his father to follow a passing caravan to join his mother in Linshui County. The little brother Li Ma, who had been almost forgotten by Liu Jun, came to meet Liu Jun overnight. Judging from his excited expression, it was obvious that he didn't think joining the Red Scarf Bandits was a big deal.
Big deal.
Liu Jun left him to the Luo Tong brothers and sisters for training. Maybe this kid did have some talent, but in just half a month, he could dance like a tiger with two training knives.
Things seemed to be on track, with Chaixian Lieutenant responsible for all the checkpoint fees, leaving only the second master's subordinates to keep accounts.
With the government settling in, more and more people are passing by here, and the business of the snack shop is getting better and better. With the opening of the second snack shop and dormitory, the business opened by Liu Jun under the mountain has a daily net increase
The profit reached five taels of silver.
The daily needs of flour, vegetables, etc., have long been unable to be supplied by nearby farmers. Now they are delivered directly to the door by vegetable farmers who specialize in growing vegetables. There is also a team of people in Linshui County who specialize in supplying Qingsong Mountain. Although
It was not stated clearly. From the news coming from Linshui County, Liu Jun knew that his father rented a store there to purchase these things. If they were to say that they were not related, no one would believe it.
Cao Xianwei obviously made a lot of money, and his figure had obviously swelled recently. At the end of the month, Cao Xianwei was about to go back to the county government office to pay an account, but Liu Jun stopped him.
"Old Cao, of course they will be very happy if you go back and give money to the county government this time, but you have to be more careful. After all, we are red scarf thieves. It would be great if you can get a receipt issued by the county government.
It would be even better if it could have the county magistrate’s seal on it.”
Captain Cao Xian, who had been somewhat complacent in the past half month, also understood the meaning of Liu Jun's words, and his face gradually began to turn pale.
"You mean, they're going to let me take the blame?"
"You came here to take the blame, don't you know it?" Liu Jun broke his illusion without politeness.
Seeing Captain Cao leave with a disappointed look on his face, Liu Jun felt no emotion in his heart. How could a person like him who had been given up still want to have both sides? It was just a dream.
"Li Bo."
A man jumped out from behind the big tree behind Liu Jun, holding two swords at his waist and looking at him with wild eyes.
"Brother, I'm here."
In the past, in Lijiacun, he only thought that his eldest brother could be considered a good player, but since he came to Qingsong Mountain, both the Luo Tong brothers and the gloomy-looking Xue Min have opened Li Ma's horizons.
On a rare occasion, he saw Liu Jun take action and besieged by several Qi and Blood Realm people in the village. He stood there and blocked other people's moves, causing them to stagger around and unable to maintain their center of gravity. Once
When he took action, someone immediately flew out and fell to the ground without any damage. This was a state he could not imagine.
"I need you to go back to Lijiazhuang, deliver something to your elder brother, and then send a letter to the eldest lady of the Li family."
This sentence seemed to contain some information that Li Bo couldn't understand, but he didn't care because he was already completely distracted by Liu Jun's words.
"You've always wanted to learn my group fighting skills, haven't you? I'll teach you when I get back the message, provided you can learn it."
