Take the system back to the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 110 How much does a car cost?

The big-armed thugs came forward with a group of people and smiling faces, stopping Zhao Cheng, Liu Qishan and others from talking about it.

As for those guys at the back, they were extremely clever. One by one, they passed the small number of knives among them to the back, and a few of them were carried by the smart ones to escape with the help of heavy rain.

As a result, this group of stick sticks only had sticks in their hands, not weapons.And after those guys slipped away, the number was under fifty.

It hurts but I really can't take it seriously. Fortunately, Old Chen's behavior is quite measured and he still pays attention to the government, so he has no choice but to let him go.

"Why did Zhao Yasi come to this place in this rainy day?"

Old Chen was usually facial paralyzed, but now he was very clever. When he came to see him, he stuffed a big silver tael into Zhao Cheng's hand.

After shaking these twelve taels of large silver ingots in their hands, Liu Qishan and his subordinates licked their lips one after another, knowing that the tea money was stable. If the nephews of Lao Chentou were not allowed to escape, the tea money would still be there. It will triple at least.

But in a blink of an eye, everyone's mouths were twisted, and Zhao Cheng returned the silver taels to Lao Chen, "Okay, this matter is settled, other money can be collected, but the money cannot be collected. Otherwise, the spring farming will be chaotic next year, and people will be taken away." If you have short hands, you will definitely have an accident. Old Chen, bribing government officials is a higher crime, I thought you knew about it?"

"..."

Lao Chen rolled his eyes and fell into a state of facial paralysis.

Today is different from the past, Zhao Cheng has changed his guns, so the thug, as the spokesperson, hastened to make amends and promise not to make mistakes in the future.

If he were an ordinary and humble scholar, no one would take him seriously even if he was in an important position.But Zhao Cheng is really different from ordinary scholars. He started to do things step by step before he took office. etc.

In addition to these reputations, Dong Jianwu, who had always been against Zhao Cheng, disappeared inexplicably.Ordinary people may not be aware of these things, but the profiteers, shopkeepers, bosses and owners who have some knowledge, really dare not treat Zhao Cheng like a scholar.

In particular, Old Chen, who was known as a witty man, knew that Dong Jianwu was probably executed secretly by Zhao Cheng, a cruel official, after he got into trouble.Otherwise, how can the chief officer of an archer team just disappear without anyone asking?
The scene was a little awkward. It was raining continuously. A man with a knife came over to hold an umbrella for Zhao Cheng, but Zhao Cheng pushed him away impatiently.

Standing with Old Chen with his hands behind his back, Zhao Cheng became a drowned rat.

Looking at the rain scene and the large expanse of fertile land, Zhao Cheng said: "Old Chen, you are not here to find someone to fight, right?"

The thug with a big arm and a round waist was full of grievances, and clasped his fists and said: "Returning to the prisoner, how can we still care about fighting now? It's not about grabbing water, but because we think there is too much water. There is no way to divert the water away. Our channels have been destroyed. gone."

"I thought it was a big deal, but this is the problem?" Zhao Cheng chuckled.

Old Chen looked weird. It is said that this scholar is famous for his imagination. Does he have any novel way to solve this problem?

"Dare to ask Yasi, how can we solve the problem of the old man's life channel?" Old Chen really dare not underestimate him.

Zhao Cheng touched his chin and said: "It's raining now that can't be solved. Let's do this. This year's trend has become a trend, but it's not too late to make up for it. Scholar, I recommend a magical thing called cement to you. It's a bit expensive. But you can solidify your water conservancy project once and for all, and your great-grandchildren in the future will still be stable and able to weather the storm."

Cement is a new thing, but Lao Chen, who claims to be well-informed, has heard that someone experimented with this kind of thing at the county government yesterday.

"I've heard of this kind of magic mud. Excuse me, Yasi, how much does it cost per cart?" The big-armed thug asked on his behalf.

"For the time being, this is a fetish that is in extremely short supply. The output is very small. First come, first served. Don't talk to me about how much a car is. It is sold by the catty, one copper coin per catty of cement."

Zhao Cheng's quotation almost shocked them into the mud. Even if it was said to be more magical, I have never seen such a person selling mud.

If it wasn't for the officials who dared to make such a price, they would definitely be hung up and beaten by these guys.Surprisingly, Old Chen's expression became strange, as if he was thinking.

"Third uncle, you...you don't really believe his rhetoric at such a ridiculous price, do you?"

The big-armed thug was named Chen Xiaohu, and he was Lao Chen's cousin.It was fine if he didn't talk about it, but once he said it, Lao Chen became even more interested in cement.

Because frankly speaking, Old Chen is very good at judging people, Zhao Cheng is a weirdo in the eyes of Old Chen, and he is also an honest person with a reputation.The deeds he did in Chizhou City are not fake. Simply put, even a business opponent can be trusted by this kind of person.

Seeing Lao Chen's demeanor, Zhao Cheng felt that he might have stabilized a bit.

In fact, speaking to gain the trust of others is useless, it must be able to bring benefits to him, which is the most essential.Only in this way will he be accepted. In the past, even if Zhao Cheng's mentality was a bit wretched, it was regarded as repeated swiping operations with Lao Chen, but after all, it was the accumulation of reputation, which really brought him benefits after all.

This is the character, channel, and business capital that Zhao Cheng has accumulated.

Advertisements can only convince a limited number of people, but for a profiteer like Lao Chen, if he takes the lead in using cement, the boosting effect will be stronger than those of Cai Wenji.Because Cai Wenji's use of other people would think it is a trick to play tricks, but Lao Chen's use of it must show that cement is useful.

It is rare to see old Chen with facial paralysis like this. He walked up and down the field dam in the rain, his cheeks were a little flushed, and he rubbed his hands from time to time, circling back and forth.

After a while, Old Chen stopped, looked at Zhao Cheng and said, "Your price will definitely be punished by God. Do you think you know this?"

"..."

Zhao Cheng returned his previous demeanor to him, rolled his eyes, turned around and left with the person.

"and many more."

Old Chen took a deep breath and said, "I just want to ask Brother Chen, can I try it out first?"

"Yes. The trial is free. I will send someone to send the first batch for you to use tomorrow." Zhao Cheng laughed.

Old Chen smiled miserably, "Your things must be good things. The problem is... the old man insists that you will be condemned by God, unless it can be cheaper?"

Zhao Cheng rolled his eyes again, thinking that the boss, I am a benevolent invincible. If this kind of character is still condemned by God, it is obviously not my problem as a scholar, but it should be changed.

Old Chen is especially talkative today, and he probably finished talking for decades, "Brother Cheng, the world in Song Dynasty is actually not peaceful. It's not military disasters, droughts, floods, and locust plagues. Many times, common people can mix wild vegetables to eat. Being half full is already a blessing in heaven. The ancestors of my Chen family have been farming in this place for generations, and they continue to produce food..."

Zhao Cheng interrupted, "Speaking of reason, this is also considered a different kind of contribution, and that's what you want to express, right? I know about this, but in business, because you have a sense of propriety and credibility, this It also allows you Chen people to develop well in Chizhou, and you have embraced one thigh after another, and you are an evergreen tree in Guichi County."

"This is the report you get. The cement project does not have to cooperate with you first. I have considered these factors for you when choosing you, scholar. Technically speaking, I am not qualified to teach you how to do business, but every penny is worth it. You must understand the principle of dividing goods. It is indeed expensive, but it does not mean that it is unaffordable. Things built with cement can be built once and for all, and can be passed down from generation to generation. Choose cement or ordinary soil, and you will weigh it yourself after using it. I can be sure The only thing is that the agreement must be made quickly, because the quantity of cement will be limited in a few years, and the price will definitely be maintained. Is it difficult to say that others are interested?"

After Zhao Cheng finished speaking, he turned around and left with the messenger...
