The master had no good feelings toward this rogue, and he had to agree to come over because he was forced to report the scandalous things he had done.

Seeing the boy, the master snorted angrily and said, "What's wrong? The money I gave you last time was spent so quickly?

What method did you think of this time to ask me for money? "

"No, no, no." The boy followed the example of a scholar, stretched out his hand and waved it politely in front of him, then mysteriously came to the master's side and whispered, "Don't look at me like that.

To tell you the truth, I just got some very important news, and you must be very interested in it.

But, I got this news with great difficulty. It depends on whether you are willing to use some silver in exchange for it. "

Seeing him looking so absorbed, the master was not sure whether he had really gotten some important news or was just making up his own secrets to steal his own money, so he pretended to be uninterested and asked: "What news is it? Are you like this?" Hiding it and refusing to reveal a single word, how do I know if it is really useful to me?

Why don't you tell me the news first, and I'll see if it's really useful.

If it is really important information, I will definitely give you some benefits! "

How could the young man take advantage of his empty-handed tactics? He spread his hands and shook his head helplessly, "Hey, your mouth can turn black into white. Whether it's useful or not depends on your words. If you don’t give me the money first, I will never tell you.”

Seeing that the young man refused to fall for the trap, the master wanted to continue to deceive him.

The boy had already seen his face clearly and said angrily: "Just feel sorry for those few taels of silver. When the time comes, if something goes wrong and ruins the good things of the people above, I don't think you can bear it." Take this responsibility.”

The master then thought about it and realized that this man was right.

Moreover, after the money was given away, he could just use this reason to ask for some more money from several local gentry.

After all, he won't suffer any loss.

So the two bargained and finally settled the deal for 50 taels of silver.

The boy weighed the silver in his hand with satisfaction and told the news he had heard: "That lady came to our house again today to see our master. I saw that they seemed to be discussing some important plan, so I took the risk to listen. A mouthful.

You don’t know this if you don’t hear it, and you will be shocked when you hear it!

It turns out that they are really discussing something very important! "

Seeing that he was talking nonsense, the master urged dissatisfiedly: "What on earth is going on? Please tell the key point! If you dare to lie to me, I will take the silver back!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you need to lay the groundwork before telling the story?" The boy protected the money bag and continued, "I heard them say that they should contact rice merchants from other places and come here to sell rice at low prices. "

When the master heard the news, he couldn't help but raise his lips. It seemed that the 50 taels of silver were well spent!

But there was one thing he didn't want to understand. "Since she thought of letting caravans from other places come to sell low-priced goods, why did she ask your master?"

The boy rolled his eyes and said, "Maybe that young lady came to see our master because he thought our master had many connections."

"Are you sure you heard it correctly?" Master confirmed.

The boy held the money bag and swore, "It's absolutely true! I took the risk of being discovered and finally heard it! For the sake of my hard work, please give me an extra ten taels of silver!" "

The master was in a good mood, so he took out another ten taels of silver and threw it to the boy. Then he hurried home and wrote letters to several local gentry.

Sure enough, within a few days, a convoy carrying food appeared at the border of Yizhou.

Before the group of merchants could find a place to rest, a grain dealer came to their door.

"Brother, you are transporting this rice, but you plan to sell it in Yizhou?" the grain dealer asked.

The leader of the team bowed his hands to the man as a greeting, "To be honest, I heard that in Yizhou, rice can be sold for two taels of silver per catty. I have transported ten carts of rice right now, and I want to go there and try it." Try your luck."

The grain seller looked at the carts of rice and sighed.

The leader was confused and asked in confusion: "Brother, why are you sighing? But the prices in Yizhou have dropped?

But I just heard this news a few days ago! "

The grain dealer said: "Hey, you don't know, I just buy rice.

It’s true that rice in Yizhou is expensive, but have you ever calculated how much wasted along the way? "

Yizhou is famous all over the world for its difficult roads. It is really difficult to transport these carts of rice there.

The leader replied: "I have also calculated this. Even if some are lost on the road, the unit price is expensive. If you go in and out like this, the profit is still very considerable."

"Little brother, it seems that you have never been to Yizhou." The grain dealer put his arm around the leader's shoulders and said, "In addition to the losses dropped on the road, there are also those Money for relationship management.

Before entering the city, ask the gatekeeper to poke a few holes in your bag. Do you want to stuff some silver coins into it?

Once you get there, you can't sell it on the street. Do you have to spend money to rent a shop?

Also, what you are selling is grain. If you encounter an unreasonable person who says that he got sick after eating your rice, he wants to extort money from you.

Does it take money to settle these things?

Of course, this does not include the possibility that you may encounter robbers on the road and rob you of all your carts of food!

By then, you won’t even be able to recoup any costs.

Brother, I'm not scaring you. You also know that things in Yizhou are expensive, and the people who can't afford to eat don't look like hungry wolves after seeing your carts of food!They didn't have much money on hand and couldn't afford it, so of course they just grabbed it. They were going to die anyway, so they might as well have a full meal and be a well-fed ghost.

Brother, I'm afraid your future is going to be very unlucky. "

These words made the leading brother stunned for a moment, and he also frowned.

At this time, the grain dealer finally revealed his real purpose: "I think it's not easy for you, so why don't I be a good person and buy all your carts of grain to save you the trouble of transporting it back again."

The big brother who took the lead instantly understood that all the foreshadowing was all a trap for himself.

So, he asked unceremoniously: "I think you said that deliberately because you wanted to buy these carts of grain from me. Humph, I, Huang Daniu, don't believe in this evil today. I just want to go to Yizhou to see for myself. , see if it’s like you said, you can’t make a penny!”

Seeing that he didn't take the bait, the grain dealer panicked. He had been sent by the local gentry to guard here for three days in order to intercept the rice from these foreign caravans and disrupt Huang Shen Ruoyan's plan. .

If this man insists on going to Yizhou, how can he explain it to the local gentry?
