Chapter five hundred and forty-seven drug dealers are not worth mentioning(1/2)

After leaving the restaurant gate, Yu Jiuling remembered that they were coming in the carriage of a drug dealer in Yuzhou. Do they have to walk back?

So he looked at Li Chi, and Li Chi immediately understood what Yu Jiuling meant.

It was as if there was a villain in Yu Jiuling's eyes talking, and the big eyes that were flashing were all bad water.

So Li Chi gave Yu Jiuling a positive look, and Yu Jiuling immediately laughed.

He turned to look at the coachman and asked, "Are you from Yuzhou or Jizhou?"

The coachman didn't know what happened yet, so he replied politely: "I am from Anyang, Yuzhou."

Yu Jiuling asked: "Then will your carriage be sold?"

The coachman was a little confused this time, and he shook his head and said, "I am the coachman who carries and horses, and neither carriage nor horses belong to me."

Yu Jiuling nodded and said, "That's right, it's really a bit too much to sell your shopkeeper's things."

The coachman thought to himself that wasn't that nonsense, I was just a worker, and I sold my boss's carriage... If it could be sold, wouldn't I have sold it long ago?

Yu Jiuling said: "Then let me ask you how much money is needed to have a car and a horse?"

A car is an old car, and a horse is a slow horse.

The coachman thought about it and replied: "Fifty taels are enough."

In fact, this has been said a lot more. A slow horse is not very valuable, far less than the value of a war horse.

Horses are divided into three levels, first class is military horse, second class is field horse, and third class is slow horse.

In such a chaotic era, the money to buy a girl as a maid is far from enough to buy a good horse.

Such bad horses are generally priced at about twenty taels, while in the prosperous times, such bad horses are probably about ten taels.

Even such a bad horse is more expensive than a maid's selling body in such an era.

At a real price, such a carriage is enough forty taels under the current situation in Da Chu.

Yu Jiuling didn't care when he heard that he was 50 taels. Li Chi and the others were doing business, so how could they cheat them?

Yu Jiuling smiled and asked, "You should have rules for carriages and horses. If you lose carriages and horses, you will definitely compensate you. How much money do you need to compensate Carriages and Horses and Horses?"

The coachman sighed when he heard this. It was not easy for them.

It takes two months to travel from Anyang City to Jizhou. If you count the time to receive the goods, it may take three months.

His salary is five taels per trip. In comparison, the monthly salary of each of the border troops of the Great Chu was one taels and half, which has not increased for many years.

Not to mention the rise, the imperial court has not paid military salaries to the border army for many years.

His income in this trip was actually higher than that of the border soldiers.

Fortunately, the carriages and horse stores gave them real money, not Dachu's money.

According to the rules set by the government, one tael of silver was exchanged for one thousand yuan in money. Now, in this world, two thousand yuan in cultural money was exchanged for less than one tael of silver.

The coachman sighed and said, "We who work, we have to pay as much as we have to pay, otherwise what else can we do? If the car and horse are lost, we have to double the compensation. If we can't pay back the money, we will use the house to pay the debt..."

He sighed again.

Yu Jiuling looked at Li Chi, and Li Chi nodded with a smile.

Yu Jiuling had the confidence, so he said to the coachman: "I will give you one hundred taels of silver. You sell the carriage and horse to me. When you go back, you will pay the carriage and horse 100 taels, and you will still make a net profit of twenty taels."

In fact, what the carriage and horse business told the drivers was that the total price of carriage and horse was forty taels. If he was given 120 taels, he would be able to make a net profit of forty taels.

Forty taels of silver were his wages for two years, and he had to ensure that he had work to do in the past two years.

So at this moment, the coachman's eyes lit up.

But he didn't dare to do so. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "I... forget it, why bother."

Yu Jiuling said: "One hundred and fifty taels."

The coachman's eyes widened.

Li Chi walked to the coachman, smiled and said, "He is a little stingy. How about I'll talk to you about a business?"

The coachman asked, "This young man, I am just a vulgar man, an errand runner. You and I have no business to negotiate."

Li Chi asked, "How many of the cars and horses you came here this time were from the same carriage?"

The coachman replied: "There are more than forty cars, and there are dozens of other cars and horse carriages. The number of carriages brought by customers is probably the same. When I came, I looked spectacular, so I counted it out. We had more than one hundred and seventy cars in total."

Li Chi nodded and said, "You go back and have a private deal with the same car as you. I will buy your car for 200 taels and buy their car for 180 taels."

Hearing the number two hundred taels, the coachman's eyes were round as if they were eggs.

Li Chi continued, "Not only that, as long as one person sells the carriage and horse to me, I will give you the benefit of two taels of silver. If your friends sell the carriage and horse to me, except for what you said before, I will give you another fifty taels of benefits. If you can ask other carriage and horse shops to me, I will give you another one hundred taels of benefits."

He smiled and said, "If you tell me this trip, you can mention at least 500 taels of silver. When you go back together, you will say that the carriages and horses were robbed by the rebels in Jizhou. Everyone said the same thing, and your shopkeepers who are in charge of the carriages and horses will not doubt it."

The coachman's face was obviously excited, and five hundred taels of silver was enough.

He could go home with 500 taels of silver, and then run away together, and live in a small place. 500 taels of silver, and the whole family could have at least 30 years of worry-free life.

Seeing him hesitating, Li Chi increased the price and said, "Your carriage and horses are now sold to me, I will give you two hundred and forty taels, and your friend will sell all the carriage and horses to me, one carriage and horses."

"Done!"

The coachman finally couldn't help it.

This kind of temptation is completely irresistible to an ordinary person.

The coachman said: "Now the carriage is yours!"

Li Chi shook his head, "I don't want you now, Jiu Mei, give him ten taels of silver as a deposit. It starts tomorrow. We will not leave that inn for three days. If you make a decision, it will be valid for you to come within three days."

He patted the coachman on the shoulder and said, "We will leave in three days. If you want to sell it again, I don't need to buy yours."

After saying that, Li Chi turned around and left. Yu Jiuling thought to himself that he had to go back after all this.

The next morning, Yu Jiuling sat in the inn front hall, made a pot of tea, and prepared dried fruit and snacks on the table, waiting comfortably.

It didn't take him long to wait, and there were cars and horses coming one by one, so many that the roads were blocked tightly.

In one day, Yu Jiuling took over more than forty large cars.

The next day, other people in the carriage and horse business saw that they could really make so much money, and more people came to sell carriage and horses.

Many of them are their own cars and horses. They join the carriage and horses, and they have no scruples when selling their own things.

In two days, Li Chi and the others bought nearly a hundred large cars.

At night, another inn.

Yue Heng's face was extremely hard to see. His hand slapped the table with a slap and said angrily: "The people from Chen Yitang are deliberately trying to embarrass us!"

Du Qingteng said: "What if it is?"

After taking a sip of tea, he said, "They just spend money and don't want us to buy a penny of medicinal materials from here."

Wang Fangyuan said: "Those coachmen are also very bold. They sell carriages and horses. Are they not afraid of being pursued when they go back?"

Yue Heng said: "The shopkeeper who carries out carries is not too late. It's much more money to make in a carriage than running a business."

Du Qingteng said: "This time I made a military order with the general... If I go back empty-handed, how can I explain it to the general?"

The general he mentioned was Meng Kedi, the garrison of Anyang City.

Meng Kedi was the subordinate of Liu Li, the governor of Yuzhou. When Liu Li led his army northward

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Waiting, Prince Wu seized the way out.

At that time, Prince Wu asked Meng Kedi to persuade Liu Li to return, but Meng Kedi was really embarrassed and wrote several letters to Liu Li.

However, how dare Liu Li go back, so he stationed in Jizhou.

Later, Liu Li died, but Meng Kedi was not affected by anything. Prince Wu knew that he was a general, so he still asked him to station in Anyang City.

Meng Kedi almost killed Prince Yu at the beginning.

This person is brave and resourceful, and is indeed a rare general who leads troops.

Although Prince Wu dealt with him, he did not seize his military power. Fortunately, he was comforted by him, so Meng Kedi felt particularly guilty towards Prince Wu.

Before Prince Wu led his troops south this time, he personally went to Anyang City to meet Meng Kedi. He repeatedly told him that the safety of Yuzhou was left to him.

Meng Kedi is good at fighting and is a warlike person by nature.

He was born a general, and he might not be able to stand it if someone like him guarded a city and never fought for the rest of his life.

If you really want to talk about the ability to lead troops, Liu Li, the former governor of Yuzhou, was far inferior to him.

People with abilities are mostly conceited, and Meng Kedi is also a conceited person.

This time, it was his instructed that the drug dealers from Yuzhou came to Jizhou to buy medicinal materials on such a large scale.

Because he wanted to fight Jizhou.

Unlike the troops stationed in Yuzhou, he wanted to attack Jizhou and did not need to lead his army to cross the dangerous Nanping River.
