Chapter 167 You can't lie to me!
After visiting for a whole morning, Wang Bian gained a lot of business opportunities in Xiyang City, which made him very excited. Although he had not inquired about family transactions in detail after joining the army, he had been influenced by his knowledge and ability and vision of doing business since he was a child.
『.
The salvia miltiorrhiza and walnuts that were transported to Xiyang have all been transformed into light circulation coupons. This was his first time to come into contact with this thing. Although he was a little doubtful, he finally accepted it because he was confident in Huangzhou General Manager Yuwen Wen.
Bulk goods transactions have always been a headache for merchants. Both parties either barter or use cars to pull heavy copper coins or cloth. Now the circulation coupons in Xiyang City have really helped the buyers and sellers.
It is very convenient for buyers and sellers to trade, so the buyer's purchase will increase, and the circulation coupons on Wang Bian's hands will be spent in a blink of an eye.
The remaining half was planned to carry it with him. When he walked back to Jiyang 6 times and passed by Rangcheng, Jingzhou, he would cash out the Ruixing branch in the city, which would save a lot of trouble. After he could get back home and arrange various matters, he would return to the army to serve the country.
Of course, the country was Zhou State, and Wang Bian's military position was still the Grand Governor. Yuwen Wen had arranged for him to lead the "anyway" soldiers to help defend Shangluo. The storm that elephant had been sank for the past two years was about to subside, and he had already passed it safely.
The Zhou Kingdom reunified the land of Jiangbei, and then sent troops south to pacify Chen. After unifying the Central Plains, he would concentrate on dealing with the Turks on the grassland. There were still many opportunities to fight, and he still had the opportunity to make achievements.
I don’t know if there is any chance in Ping Chen Shi?
Wang Bian thought so, and while walking, he accidentally caught a glimpse of several people gathering around the corner of the street in front of him. It seemed that someone was arguing about something loudly. He was curious and walked up.
There were two people talking in the crowd. One was dressed simply and dark-skinned like a fisherman, the other was dressed with a delicate face and a rosy face, like a rich man. Both sides were arguing over a stone.
"The circulation coupons, two circulation coupons with a face value of one thousand pieces, worth two thousand pieces of fine woven fabric, equivalent to the market price of at least one thousand coins. If you exchange this stone, you can eat it for a lifetime, and you don't have to go fishing!"
"Don't fool people. Just want to replace my stone with two notes of ghost-drawing talismans?"
"What the hell is the note of talisman painting? This is a circulation coupon. Which shop in Xiyang City doesn't recognize it? It can be used anywhere in the city, and you can buy anything. If you don't believe it, I'll take you to the cabinet shop to redeem it."
"What Guifangjianfang, I won't go! If you take me to some corner and grab the stone, what should I do!"
"Whoever robs your stones? The cabinet is there. In broad daylight, what are you going to worry about?"
"If I don't go, you have to bring money and silk if you want stones!"
Wang Bian, probably the whole story: The fisherman was fishing in the river and accidentally caught a strange stone and sold it to Xiyang City to try his luck, but he met this middle-aged man with circulation coupons but no cash.
The circulating coupon is worth two thousand pieces of cloth. If the fisherman agrees, the transaction will be completed immediately. With the cloth with a market value of nearly one thousand coins, the fisherman can have no worries in the second half of his life. However, this ignorant person does not believe that two pieces of paper can be worth so much money.
Middle-aged people have circulation coupons and want to buy them. Fishermen have stones and want to sell them but don’t believe in circulation coupons. Middle-aged people don’t dare to leave and are afraid of being bought by others. They hope that fishermen will go to the counter with him to exchange money and silk.
The fishermen were unfamiliar with the place and were willing to follow him, because they were afraid that they would be robbed of stones when they went to a secluded place. The two of them were so stalemate.
"What does this stone look like? It's worth two thousand pieces of cloth?"
Wang Bian asked, before the fisherman could speak, the middle-aged man was anxious: "Mr., there is always a way to come first and then come, and I want to buy this stone first!"
"What are you saying! I didn't say that the stones were sold to you!"
"No, don't, please say something. I bought this stone. Don't worry, I'll go and exchange it for money immediately!"
The fisherman was afraid of the entanglement of the middle-aged man, so he argued with a gaze: "Mr. Langjun, I caught this strange stone while fishing in the river. If you want to pay a price, take it away!"
"No! No! Don't take away what you love, this gentleman. I bought the stone. Brother, sell me this stone!"
The two of them became anxious again. The onlookers divided the two sides and helped the middlemen to talk to the fishermen. Some people couldn't help but sigh and said that if they had money, they would buy this strange stone.
Wang Bian had already made a judgment in his mind: these two people were acting, plotting to set up a plan to cheat people of money, and the few people around him might also be the scammers' accomplices!
His father once said a similar scam: two scammers, one pretended to be honest and were holding a family treasure or an unexpected treasure to sell along the street, while the other scammer pretended to be a buyer to buy it, but it happened to be less money.
Generally speaking, there will be a few accomplices pretending to be bystanders and keep making noise to attract the attention of passers-by.
Then a rich fool passed by and saw that the treasure was so popular that the first buyer did not bring enough money. Then it was his turn to take out the valuable things he had on his body at the instigation of those bystanders and exchanged them for the so-called treasure.
After coming back to his senses, these people were no longer aware of their traces, and the baby was actually a fake and not much worth.
You guys don't want to lie to me for an old trick!
Thinking of this, Wang Bian couldn't help but sneer. If he had turned around and left in the past, but now he was in a good mood, so if he was interested in playing with these liars, he would want the other party's acting skills.
Anyway, I followed my followers, so I was not afraid that the other party would become angry and angry and hurt people. If I really dared to do it, I would break a few arms first.
"Is this stone that strange? Why not take it out for everyone?"
Wang Bian signaled to separate the middle-aged man from the left and right, and asked the fishermen to take out the so-called strange stone, thinking that it was probably a stone that was pretending to be beautiful jade or dog-headed gold. As a result, afterwards, he couldn't help but rub his eyes.
A stone the size of two palms is dark brown all over. Because it has been washed by water for many years, the whole stone is smooth and round like a flat peach egg. The stripes in the middle of the stone actually form the word "heart" in seal script.
Of course it is impossible to be as neat as a person writes.
Wang Bian carefully asked, "Can you wash it with water?"
"Wash...Where are there basins and water to wash?"
This is reasonable. If the other party even prepares the plate for washing the stones, it will be so fake that it cannot be fake anymore. Wang Bian was curious and brought the bamboo kettle he brought with him: "Brother, can you let me wash the stone?"
He suspected that the traces on the stone were dyed with dye. After hesitating for a moment, the fisherman carefully handed the stone to Wang Bian regardless of the middle-aged man's shouts.
Wang Bian squatted down, holding the stone in one hand and pouring water in the bamboo kettle in the other. After wetting the stone, he gently rubbed it with his hands. He didn't see any color that made the water turbid. He gently rubbed the lines on the stone with his index finger, trying to feel whether there were any traces of carving.
The fisherman argued nervously, for fear that the other party would snatch the stone. Seeing this, the middle-aged man said, "I'll go and mix the cloth, two thousand five hundred pieces, don't sell this stone." He turned around and ran out.
I don’t know how long I rubbed it, but Wang Bian realized that there was no trace of carving on the stone. He carefully made the stone "heart" pattern because it was dyed by someone.
It is natural and cannot be carved by human power. A strange stone is indeed a strange stone!
"This is my stone!"
When his hands loosened, it was the fisherman who grabbed the stone back into his arms, full of vigilance.
Wang Bian felt very excited. He had such an adventure when he came out to visit the street. The stone caught from the river formed the character "heart" in its patterns. It was simply a magical skill. Such a treasure cannot be missed.
"I bought this stone!"
"How much money do you pay?"
"Brother, I don't bring any cash, I only have circulation coupons."
"I don't want that broken note!"
It was still the problem that the middle-aged man had just encountered. The other party didn't believe in circulation coupons. Wang Bian thought that if he took the fishermen to the cabinet, he would probably be entangled by the middle-aged man on the way, so...
