When Huo Xi and Zhu Ji came out of Wanxiang Tower and arrived at the small courtyard that Huo Xi rented for him, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
He leaned on the courtyard wall for a long time and couldn't recover.
Just look at each other and it’s done?
Is this done?
"Master, please quickly show me the deed he signed."
In order to prevent Wu Youcai from coming back to his senses and regretting it, Huo Xi asked him to sign a deed, specifying the goods, the quantity, and the goods in exchange. He also told Wu Youcai that this was the rule of the thirty-six lines, and he was afraid that the people would be cunning and prevent him from changing his mind.
And sell more for one product.
Wu Youcai signed immediately without any hesitation.
If the Japanese merchant goes back on his word, he will be compensated by the other party for one thousand taels if he doesn't do anything anyway.
Of course, if he went back on his word, he would have to pay the other party a thousand taels. But Wu Youcai felt that it was impossible for him to go back on his word. Moreover, after Huo Xi left, he asked Ping Niang to call the dancers and music girls to play and sing for fun.
After reading the deed, Zhu Ji felt relieved: "I don't have to worry about him not trading now. If he goes back on his word, he will have to pay us one thousand taels. We won't lose anything."
Just after he was happy, he worried again: "What if he doesn't fulfill the contract? He is an official and we are a citizen, so we can't sue him."
"He won't refuse to pay us cane sugar for one thousand taels. Ten thousand kilograms of cane sugar is only more than three hundred taels of silver. If we go to Shibosi, he won't be able to survive. He won't be willing to throw away this fat job.
Already."
"That's good. But boss, why don't we trick him more? This is only a few hundred taels of silver."
Huo Xi smiled at him: "I don't know how the shopkeeper Yan Ni Shen was deceived into taking it, but it's so hot in my hands. Besides, I have a lot of use for this sucrose."
Exchanging 10,000 jins of flame salt for 10,000 jins of sucrose only made him more than a hundred taels. However, using 200 high-imitation Japanese fans, he earned a hundred jins of raw silk.
A pound of raw silk sells for half a tael of silver, and this time I got two hundred taels.
But for Huo Xi, she got rid of the flame salt and easily obtained ten thousand kilograms of sucrose. The important thing is... Huo Xi raised the deed paper in her hand, and she got Wu Youcai's handle.
If you want to make him perish, you must make him crazy. First, send him to the top of the mountain, and then remove his ladder, causing him to fall to pieces. Let's see whether Wu can be saved or not, and whether she can fall into the trap.
My mother can't sleep in the cold and damp underground. You have a high bed and soft pillows, you make slaves call your maids, and you become a lady who is worshiped and fawned over.
How can it be done!
Huo Xi turned to Zhu Ji and said, "When the matter is finished, I will take you to the Peking Guan Shop."
"Yes, I listen to my boss."
Huo Xi said a few more words to him, then left the small rented courtyard, turned to Yang Fu and Shen Qianzhong, and ordered them to prepare the carriages and horses, load the goods and leave the warehouse. A hundred stone flame saltpeter, Huo Xi
There are still two thousand kilograms left, which have not been finished.
After giving the instructions, she thought about what Ping Niang had whispered when he sent her out with the harp, that Ping Niang would be waiting for her at Huixian Tower at noon the next morning.
This lady was present throughout the whole process today and helped to say a few words. Huo Xi was grateful. He just didn't know what he wanted to see her for tomorrow.
On the other side, Mu Yan couldn't come back to his senses for a long time after hearing Qian San's report.
Li Yi and Kan Er were so shocked that their eyes almost hit the ground.
"Here, how did Miss Huo come up with this idea? She also pretended to be a Japanese merchant and colluded with the officials of the Municipal Shipping Department to sell privately?" Kan Er simply had a new understanding of Huo Xi.
"And she got things done." Li Yi was also impressed.
"Is that Japanese merchant one of hers?" Mu Yan also couldn't find his voice.
Gan San nodded: "Yes. He was her grandfather's former manager."
Absolutely.
"Her grandfather's manager still understands Japanese?"
Gan San shook his head: "It's not Japanese, it sounds like a southern dialect."
"She speaks Chinese, but the steward speaks the southern dialect?" Kaner's eyes widened.
"yes."
"Hahaha, it's so funny. Then Wu Youcai couldn't hear it. Hahaha..." Kan Er fell down laughing.
"Can you hear that?" Mu Yan glanced at him lightly.
Uh...Kan Er shook his head, he couldn't argue.
"Absolutely awesome! Master, how did Madam Huo come up with this idea? It's quite a thorough strategy."
Li Yi was filled with admiration. How old is this little lady? She came up with such a comprehensive method. He thought it was just another basket case for Wu Youcai.
"Anyone who doesn't understand Wu Youcai's character can't do this. She holds Wu Youcai's lifeline." Mu Yan smiled.
"What lifeline?"
"Of course I want to get promoted and make a fortune. I want to be promoted to a higher position." Li Yi rolled his eyes at Kan Er.
"Is Wu Youcai so ambitious that he still wants to be promoted to a higher position?" Kan Er was a little puzzled.
"If he really has countless silver, why can't he exchange the silver for a title? There is no such precedent in all dynasties. During a major disaster, those who are willing to spend a large amount of money to relieve the victims and relieve the court will get a title. It's not nothing." Li Yi explained calmly.
Mu Yan was silent, and told Qian San to continue to follow Huo Xi, then waved him away. He turned to Li Yikaner and said, "We will also go to Huixian Tower to meet her in the future."
Another day passed, and the appointed day arrived. At noon, Huo Xiyi arrived at Huixian Tower as promised.
In the elegant room, Ping Niang arrived early, she was alone, and her hat was placed on the table.
"The benefactor is here?" Seeing Huo Xi appear, Ping Niang stood up and greeted him with a smile.
Huo Xi nodded to her, raised her legs and walked in, closing the door at the same time.
"Why did you come to me?" He sat down opposite her.
Ping Niang smiled at her and pushed a box on the table towards Huo Xi: "My benefactor, take a look."
Huo Xi pulled the box to her face and opened it suspiciously, and was stunned.
A box full of banknotes!
"What are you doing?" He looked confused.
"I heard about the transaction between my benefactor and Wu Youcai the day before yesterday, and I admire my benefactor very much. I am willing to follow my benefactor."
"Follow me?" What does this say? How can she, a flower girl, follow herself? She has no money to ransom her.
Ping Niang smiled and explained to Huo Xi: "I see that my benefactor is doing big things. Although he is young, he has a big gap in his chest. These are all my assets, and I would like to entrust them to my benefactor to take care of them. There is no need to give me many bonuses. I just hope that one day when I come out from there, the money will still be there so that I can have something to rely on."
Huo Xi felt sad after hearing what she said.
Is Pingniang afraid that she won’t be able to keep her money in that building?
I also want to be hugged by my thighs like her. I don’t know who to trust. I don’t ask for annual dividends. I just want the money to be there when she wants to use it in the future.
"Why not redeem yourself with this?"
Ping Niang smiled bitterly: "It's easier said than done. Now that I am in my prime, the building will not let me redeem myself. Besides, even if I redeem myself, how can I survive without anyone to rely on? Bringing money will only attract others to covet me. Even if I have money, I will be coveted by others. The benefactor is willing to redeem me, but it's just a living room as a concubine. It's better to be comfortable in the building."
Huo Xi was silent for a long time.
Sighing: "Since you believe me, I will keep it for you. If you want to use it in the future, I will return it to you intact."
Ping Niang shook her head: "There are five thousand taels here, and it would be useless if I left them alone. My benefactor seems to be a man who does great things, so feel free to use them as capital for business. It can also be considered as my small contribution to my benefactor.
.”
"Since you believe in me, I will not let you suffer any loss. If I use it as capital, I will definitely give you profits and buy you an acre of land so that you can use it in the future."
"Thank you very much for my benefactor's willingness to plan for Ping Niang. Pin Niang has nothing to repay and is willing to be driven by my benefactor. Don't worry, my benefactor, where Wu Youcai is. I will help you to make this happen. If my benefactor has any plans again in the future, you can always come to Ping.
mother."
After Ping Niang left, Huo Xi looked at the box for a long time without regaining consciousness.
Until I was numb and just about to get up and leave, I saw Mu Yan walking in with Li Yikaner.
