The lively market opened immediately. After receiving the city lord's permission and paying the tax on fifty bags of salt, Su Ren's business was considered legal. He used the usual shouting and various gimmicks.
Above. After observing for half an hour, the Wuyang people officially started doing business with these Han people.
No one wants to give money, Su Ren only accepts three kinds of things, gold, silver or barter. Carrying two large bags of Gastrodia elata, Su Ren is inspecting the quality of the wild Gastrodia elata. A wretched old man squeezes three times and two squeezes.
When he arrived in front of Su Ren: "Sir, besides collecting medicinal materials and furs, do you need anything else here?"
"what do you have?"
"I don't have anything good. There are several big trees at home, and they are all as thick as an arm. If I don't change anything else, I will just change them with some salt." The old man spoke Chinese very smoothly.
Su Ren chuckled: "Big tree? The road is difficult and dangerous, so you won't have good luck getting back."
"It doesn't need to be transported, it just grows there. When Mr. wants to use it, he can put it in the river and float it anywhere along the river."
"That's a good idea. How many trees do you have? What kind of trees are they?"
The old man smiled with a smile on his face: "I don't know it either. I just know it's a big tree. There are more than a dozen of them. They are in the mountains over there. You can see them not far away."
"Little gold!" Su Ren turned to call Hawking: "Follow the old man and look at their trees. If they are thick enough, harvest them!"
"Got it!" Hawking agreed, dropped what he was holding, and hurried over.
After all, it is a city. Although there are not many rich people inside and outside, the purchasing power is still relatively strong. After a long time, Su Ren has consumed almost half of the things he transported this time. The sky is getting dark. Su Ren closes the stall.
, and told those Yelang people who didn't buy what they wanted to come back tomorrow. Then he sat down on the ground, and his back pain hit his body.
Practicing a stall is also a hard job. Just yelling like this for a day is not something that ordinary people can do. After eating, Su Ren made himself a cup of tea and did not dare to stay outside the tent. There were too many mosquitoes. From the warm water zone
The incense that comes here has no effect on the mosquitoes here. It can only be resisted by covering all exposed skin.
Hawking swaggered into the station, holding a roasted rabbit in his hand with a smile on his face.
Su Ren smelled the scent of rabbit from a long way away. Before Hawking could enter the tent, he got out first and said, "Good guy, I haven't eaten meat for a few days, and my mouth is almost like a bird."
"My Ada's cooking is delicious!" Hawking poured himself a glass of water, sat next to Su Ren and watched Su Ren eating rabbit.
"How's it going? Are you all here?"
"We're here. They're all here. They're all nesting in the mountains. Let me tell you, as long as you give the order, we will capture Wuyang immediately."
Su Ren's mouth was full of oil after eating, and half of a rabbit was left in no time: "Don't be so arrogant, we don't know how many soldiers there are in the city, you are talking so well, wait a minute, let's see what Wuyang does to us now
There is no threat. You go there again tomorrow and tell them to pay attention to the surrounding movements. The Liu family is already here and they will never give up."
"Understood!" Hawking began to drool unconsciously when he saw how delicious Su Ren was eating.
Su Ren tore off a rabbit leg and threw it to Hawking. Hawking laughed and started eating: "By the way, Lao Gou said that their boss Wu died in Wuyang. He has found the person who killed boss Wu. Let's
I want to ask if I can do it?"
"Who is it?"
"He's the military commander of Wuyang City. I saw him last time at the stinky woman's place. That short, bearded guy."
"It's him!" Su Ren wiped his hands and took a few sips of tea to remove the grease: "Let him endure it first. I don't think the old Liu family will send just one person to seduce Shamashayi, and they will definitely do the same.
It’s not too late to make a fuss about the leading officer and see what they are up to, and then take action.”
The next day was another busy day. After shouting all day yesterday and eating such greasy food at night, Su Ren's voice finally became hoarse and he couldn't speak. Business is still as hot as ever, not only around Wuyang City
The common people came, and people from some villages far away also came. One after another, more and more people came. Of course, Yelang's merchants were among them.
Caimo is one of them. His honest look can paralyze you. If you think he is an honest person, then you must have been deceived. He can tell the price of many things Su Ren brings at a glance. This man also
One good thing is that he doesn't talk too much. When others negotiate the price with Su Ren, he just watches silently and only makes a move when he thinks the price is right.
Waiting until night, Caimo came to visit with gifts. He was the first Yelang businessman to seek long-term cooperation with Su Ren.
Su Ren pointed to his throat. Caimo smiled, took out a small green porcelain bottle from his arms, poured Su Ren a glass of water, dropped two drops of the liquid inside, and motioned Su Ren to drink it.
The faint smell of mint filled the air. Su Ren patted his head and wondered why he had forgotten this thing. Mint is a good medicine for clearing away heat and detoxifying, and has a natural effect on throat problems.
After taking a sip of mint soup, my burning throat immediately felt much refreshed. Speaking in a hoarse accent, I thanked Caimo: "Sir, you are such a good person who saves lives. My throat is hurting to death. With the medicine given by you, I can save my life from now on."
From now on, I will consider you my elder brother."
Caimo smiled slightly and put the bottle of mint in his hand on the table: "I don't dare to take it seriously. As long as Mr. Su is fine, I will be relieved. Mr. Su is too busy during the day and I dare not disturb him. Please forgive me for visiting now.
.”
Su Ren waved his hand: "What are you talking about? I heard that my brother is a big businessman in Yelang, with dozens of business houses. I have long wanted to meet my brother, but I have been unable to do so. My brother is here, and I really want it."
"Haha!" Caimo smiled slightly: "We are all businessmen, so I will get straight to the point. The goods that the young master brought this time are dazzling, many of which I have never seen before. I want to cooperate with the young master, so you can rest assured that I will give them to you.
A reasonable price, sir, I wonder what Mr. Su thinks?"
"Okay! I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it! I'm new to your place, and it would be great if I had an elder brother to help me."
Caimo was also very happy, with an excited expression on his face: "That's very good. Since Mr. Su is not feeling well, I can't disturb him. I'll come back tomorrow to have a detailed talk with Mr. Su and say goodbye!"
The two of them didn't say any unnecessary nonsense. After seeing Caimo off, Su Ren turned around and returned to his tent. The small green bottle on the table was quietly placed there. The bottle was very delicate and was made of porcelain. At first glance, it was obvious that it was not.
A product of Yelang. After opening the bottle cap, the strong smell of mint flowed down his nose and into his brain. Su Ren couldn't help but sneeze. The purity of this mint is really high.
Hawking slipped in again, and Su Ren put down the porcelain bottle: "What is the origin of that Caimo? Is there any background behind him?"
Hawking shook his head: "No, just an ordinary businessman. The locals said that their family's business is spread all over Yelang. They are indeed a big businessman. There are no high-ranking officials in the family and they never have contact with anyone other than businessmen."
, the largest shop in the east of Wuyang City belongs to their family. It is a law-abiding operation, no bullying, and it has a good reputation in the local area. "
"Oh! Such a pure businessman is really rare!"
"By the way, that Mr. Liu came out of the stinky woman's house today, and came to our stall specifically. He didn't say anything, didn't buy anything, and then left again."
Su Ren scratched his head. These strange things gave him a headache. He didn't like fighting with others, it was too much trouble. He couldn't hold it in the warm water, so he came to Yelang to hide, but he didn't expect this.
It's messier than warm water.
"That stinky woman also sent someone here and took away fifty bags of salt from us. She said that the daily tax was fifty bags of salt. This bitch clearly wanted to trick us."
"These are all trivial matters. If she wants it, just give it to her." Su Ren waved his hand impatiently: "Have you figured out the situation of the garrison in Wuyang? How many soldiers are there? How confident are you if you force it?"
"I understand, there are a lot of people, there are 500 standing soldiers. If there is a fight, the people will be soldiers with sticks, and the stinky woman controls everything. As long as he gives the order, the whole people of Wuyang will be his.
slave."
"It seems that this female city lord is really not simple. She actually made Wu Yang look like an iron bucket. If you want to capture Wu Yang, it seems impossible without the help of external forces."
"Brother, Lao Gou and I, Ah Da, they can't wait any longer. They have been in the mountains all day and are going crazy. They all want to go down the mountain and have a fight with these idiots!"
"Hmph! Let them wait! If those black sheep in the team are not cleaned up for a day, they will not be able to go down the mountain for a day. Those guys didn't cause any trouble, right?"
"How dare they? If Lao Gou is watching, that kid will have his head chopped off immediately if he doesn't have eyesight. Don't worry!"
Su Ren walked back and forth in the tent all night. The next day, his old throat disease relapsed. He felt uncomfortable even after eating and couldn't swallow at all. Drinking the mint water given by Zemo didn't have much effect. He wanted to see a medical officer.
Look, there are no serious medical officers in this place except witch doctors. Su Ren could only endure it. If the pain was too much, he would take a sip of mint water to suppress it.
Su Ren was ill, and Huo Jin couldn't go out for a run. Every day, a special person sent the news about the return of Gou Tianming and Huo Laosi to Su Ren. Su Ren and Huo Jin stayed in the tent and never showed up again. For three whole days,
God, no one has ever seen Su Ren.
In the middle of the night on the third day, Su Ren suddenly shouted: "I know, this Liu Wen's tricks are really dark. He really wants to put me to death! Huo Jin, immediately ordered Gou Tianming and the others to come in quietly and fight."
We will make peace, we have big things to do."
Huo Jin ran out in a hurry to deliver a message to Gou Tianming and Huo Laosi.
Su Ren walked out of the tent and grabbed a sleepy-eyed interpreter: "Go to the castle immediately and tell your city lord that I plan to build the Wuyang Branch of Wenling Salt Company here and want to buy a piece of land from her, no matter what
I will agree to any amount, and you will be rewarded heavily if you do it."
