Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, days have passed. Dengzhou Sect Mansion welcomed its first wave of guests, salt merchants from Chang'an City.

Thinking that as long as I nodded, the salt in the warehouse would be transported away by these unscrupulous profiteers at a normal price of 70% of the normal price. Du Gou, who was depressed, had the urge to drive them out.

However, Du He was moving much faster than his elder brother. Before he could speak, he first said to the old butler: "Uncle Du, let them come in!"

"Here!" The old housekeeper was brought by Du Gou from his family. He saw both the Du brothers growing up with his own eyes. Naturally, he would not give any discount to Du He's orders. Seeing that Du Gou had no intention of stopping him, he agreed and turned around and left.

It was not long since time was time. Four big old men with big belly and half belly walked into Du Gou's mansion from outside, led by the old housekeeper of the Du family, and came to the front hall specially used for guests.

"Sit a few, please sit down. I will invite my envoy to come over." After arranging the servant to serve tea, the old butler said lightly.

"Please, old butler!" Several salt merchants stood up one after another and said politely.

As the saying goes, the seventh-rank official of the Prime Minister's Gate, although the old housekeeper of Du is no longer in the Du Mansion, the mansion of the Assassin is not a good place. Compared with Chang'an, the local mansion of the Assassin is not much worse than the Prime Minister's Mansion in the capital.

Therefore, even though those salt merchants have the status of noble agents, they still dare not be entrusted.

The old butler seemed to be familiar with such a scene. He nodded silently and turned away, heading towards the back house.

After Old Butler Du left, the big salt merchants began to look around at the living room they were in.

I saw that the living room was extremely simple, with a few sets of coffee tables, chairs, potted plants, and some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls around me. If I hadn't seen it before entering the door, it was indeed a mansion, and it almost made people think that I was in a very ordinary house.

But even so, the big salt merchants seemed even more restrained and did not do anything else, just because the signatures on the calligraphy and paintings were too amazing.

Needless to mention Du Ruhui's words, as Du's envoy, it is not uncommon for me to hang one, but what about the others? Yu Zhining, Kong Yingda, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling...

Oh, by the way, there is another character, which has very few words on it, with only four words: "Zhengda Guangming". The font is like a chicken paddle, which can be anti-counterfeiting, and there is no signature.

It is unknown who can tell that Li Chengqian's words are anti-counterfeiting. If you still cannot recognize them after reading them, then this person must be illiterate.

However, this anti-counterfeiting character was hung in the middle of the living room, occupying a large area.

From this we can see that if this Du Gou Sect was not a flatterer, he would definitely be a law-abiding person and strict with himself.

...

"Envoy Du arrived." Just as several salt merchants were thinking about Du Gou's character, someone else reported it outside.

This is not because the people in the room have a high status. Du Gou needs to report to meet them when he comes.

Instead, in order to avoid something, if a few people are saying bad things about Du Gou, such a notification can serve as a reminder, so as to avoid embarrassment between the two parties when they are caught.

Fortunately, generally speaking, no one will be so flirtatious and run to the other person to say bad things about the owner. Therefore, this reminder can be understood as 'When the people you want to meet come, stand up and prepare well, don't lose your etiquette.'

In fact, the few people in the room had already been ready. When they heard the notice, they stood up immediately, looked directly at the door, and waited for Du Gou, who was dressed in official uniform, and bowed together: "I have met Lord Envoy! I have met Mr. Du."

"Sit!" Du Gou waved his hand, took Du He through the middle of several people, and sat down in the main seat in the middle.

As for Du He, he came here as a private person, so he just found an inconspicuous position to sit down.

"Thank you, Lord Envoy!" Several salt merchants waited until the Du brothers sat down before saluting. One of them spoke with encouragement from the other eyes: "Lord Envoy, we will come this time..."

"I already know your purpose. In terms of price, you can follow the price you agreed in Chang'an." Du Gou interrupted the man and headed straight to the point.

"..." Several salt merchants were all confused. This was the first time they had encountered such a business deal.

In the past, when dealing with these officials, we always had to get involved for a long time, and then we would get into the topic. In some special circumstances, we had to change the place to talk about it.

But the Du Shizeng was so easy to talk about, and he even gave them the lowest price without even having to talk about it, which made them feel a little worried.

Seeing that everyone was not talking, Du Gou frowned: "What? What else do you have to ask for?"

What is the requirement? Isn’t the requirements all the officials asked? When can businessmen make requests? What does this Du family’s eldest son mean?

The salt merchants in the confusion looked at each other, and after a while, one of them said, "Entertainment, I have no requirements, but I just want to ask, are you really agreeing to sell salt to me at a price of 70%? No, no additional conditions?"

"What additional conditions?" Du Gou was also confused by the questioning of several businessmen. He turned to look at his second brother Du He on the side, meaning: What do you mean by these people you brought? Why did I agree, but they still didn't leave.

As for Du He, Du He was also a little confused about his elder brother at this time, thinking to himself, what was going on with his elder brother? Are you really angry? How could you nod and agree to the businessmen’s request without even talking?

Thinking of this, Du He stood up from the chair, made a little calmer gesture to several salt merchants, then lowered his voice and said to Du Gou: "Brother, what do you mean? These people come here to be a big plan that Gao Ming has. If you disturb the matter, the trouble will be great."

"What do I mean? They come to buy things, and I will sell them. What else does it mean?" Du Gou looked at his second brother for no clarity. He didn't want to care about Li Chengqian's plan, nor did he want to know what plan. Anyway, Chang'an asked him to sell salt at this price, so he would sell it.

Du He looked at his elder brother's confused eyes and felt aroused: "Brother, you don't want any benefits, right?"

"I want benefits?" Du Gou was stunned for a moment, his mouth twitched, raised his hand and pointed to the ugliest character on his head and said, "These are four characters given to me by His Highness Qin. What do you think?"

Well, it seems that it was a misunderstanding. Du He looked up at the four ugly words "Zhengda Guangming" above his head, shook his head with a wry smile, and then said, "Okay, I understand. I will take them to the salt farm to see it later. After a few days, we will finalize the matter. Is that okay?"
