Datang Nongwang

Chapter 462
Bottom line.

Everyone has a bottom line.

Wang Ting said that fifteen essays was his bottom line, but Wen Zhong also had his own bottom line.

If it is true that fifteen cents is enough to buy his saponins, it will cost countless money.

Li Chongyuan remembered.

When Wang Ting and his third brother Wang Zhong came to Lizhuang last time, Wang Zhong once said that Wang Ting had more than 7000 stones of saponins in his hands.

If there were so many saponins, if it was calculated at fifteen Wen a catty, then Li Chongyuan would have to pay twenty-five or six thousand coins.

Such a huge amount of money, although Li Chongyuan can afford it.

But Li Chongyuan is not being taken advantage of, let alone a fool, so how could he just agree to Wang Ting like this.

Li Chongyuan's refusal.

Once again, Wang Ting was extremely chilled.

but.

His royal court has no choice.

Who made him a loser?

At the moment, he has no qualifications to raise any conditions with Li Chongyuan, not even the slightest qualification.

None.

But what Wang Ting showed was still a superior attitude, which made Li Chongyuan see that Wang Ting didn't look begging for help, took a sip of tea, and got up.

And with Li Chongyuan getting up together, Wang Ting couldn't sit still.

The host got up, obviously to see off the guests.

Wang Ting was anxious, so he quickly got up and cupped his hands to Li Chongyuan again, "Uncle Li, I know that fifteen cents is a lot, but you have already earned so much, so why make it difficult for me. Uncle Li, you The money I earned from me is at least a hundred thousand guan, isn't it worth fifteen cents?"

"Brother Wang, we are negotiating a business now. You sell and I buy, and the price you said is too high, so I, the buyer, naturally disagree. If Brother Wang thinks someone is willing to buy it, you can go find someone else. Li Chongyuan doesn't want to be taken advantage of. Besides, Brother Wang, you said that I earned a hundred thousand coins from you. What about the hundred thousand words? If Brother Wang insists on talking about this matter, then we don’t need to talk about it anymore, and Brother Wang will not come to my Lizhuang again in the future, so as not to make you feel uncomfortable.” Li Chongyuan listened to Wang Ting’s words, He replied very calmly.

What a hundred thousand.

Li Chongyuan didn't know.

What earned his royal court money.

Li Chongyuan didn't know either.

It would be meaningless to talk about the past.

What's more, he, Li Chongyuan, didn't want anyone to know that after he started a price war with Wang Ting, all the responsibilities would be put on Li Chongyuan's head.

There is a saying.

There has never been a thing in the world that can be resounded by a slap.

Wang Ting looked at Li Chongyuan sadly in his heart, and felt ruthless again, "Uncle Li, ten Wen, only ten Wen, just be County Uncle Li and help me."

"Hehe, I have nothing to do with your Wang family. Besides, your third brother used to have a little gap with me. How can you ask me to help you? I helped you, but that doesn't mean I am a real Idiot? Brother Wang, do you think I look like an idiot?" Li Chongyuan stared at Wang Ting coldly.

I have already started a war with the Wang family.

Also help him.

I really dare to say anything.

but.

Li Chongyuan can understand.

What can these families not say?What else are you afraid to do?
Just like this royal family.

As far as Li Chongyuan knows.

During the catastrophe in Fenzhou last year, the people were displaced and had nothing to eat.

The Wang family also took the opportunity to raise the price of grain to such an extent that the people in Fenzhou paid nearly ten times the price for grain.

Such things can be done.

It can be seen that this Wang family is really the master who eats meat but does not spit out bones.

Fortunately, I negotiated a deal with Li Shimin at that time and sold Huaishan to the imperial court, which finally relieved the suffering of Fenzhou.

Start with that one thing.

Li Chongyuan also got into a fight with the Wang family.

Again, it was Wang Zhongzhi who sent people to Li Zhuang to find out where the wine came from and so on.

And this time.

The appearance of Wang Ting made Li Chongyuan aware of the strife within the Wang family, and through this opening, Wang Ting was dragged into the water.

The Wang family is rich.

Very rich.

It's only so little money.

Where is this?

Wang Ting saw that the price he offered was still rejected by Li Chongyuan, and the depression in his heart intensified again.

But when I think of the debt I borrowed, which will be due in a few days, I feel even more terrified.

His third younger brother no longer interfered with his affairs.

At most, I just lent him some money and let him handle it himself.

And now.

If he didn't let go of the saponins that was in his hands, Jinyang would find out that from now on, his royal court would probably only be a person waiting to die in a certain place.

When I think about my future.

Wang Ting was ruthless again, "Uncle Li, five Wen, just five Wen. Even if you send someone to go to the south to buy saponins, it will be a long way, and it will take a long time. In terms of conversion, it is close to two Wen. It weighs a catty. Besides, there has been a lot of rain recently in the south, and the saponins are easily damaged when they are transported from the south. What's more, there are many bandits along the way. You have to pay some head money."

Li Chongyuan looked at Wang Ting.

I was also thinking about his words in my heart.

What Wang Ting said makes sense.

But at the same time.

Li Chongyuan suspected that Wang Ting was threatening him.

From the south to the north, there are indeed many bandits on this road.

But those bandits are not what kind of caravans can do it, let alone just some saponins, I think those bandits are not so stupid.

but.

When Li Chongyuan thought that the stock of saponins in his workshop was running out.

And the saponins purchased from the south have not been in place for a long time.

Within half a month, the workshop ran out of saponins to use, and it is estimated that the shutdown is not far away.

Wang Ting's words, are they expressing interests or threatening.

Li Chongyuan could only stare at Wang Ting's face, trying to see some clues from his face.

It's been a long time.

Li Chongyuan didn't see anything from Wang Ting's face, but he saw a look of anxiety.

Think again.

Wen Zhong finally nodded.

"Okay, then follow the five cents that brother Wang said. However, I want the goods first, and then the money. I don't care about the transportation fee. You have to have all the saponins delivered." Li Chongyuan agreed.

There are more than 7000 stones of saponins.

Such a huge amount is enough for the workshop to last for three years.

and.

Based on five renminbi, I only need to pay less than [-] guan to get such a large amount of saponins.

why not?

When Li Chongyuan pointed his head, Wang Tingna's face remained anxious.

There was no look of relief.

Li Chongyuan really didn't have much idea about Wang Ting.

The business has been negotiated, and the next step is naturally to write a contract.

According to the two, although the contract can be written, it needs to find a middleman to testify, and a person with some status must come to it.

finally.

Li Chongyuan sent someone to Hu County to invite Niu Fan, the master bookkeeper.

Under the witness of Niu Fan, the contract was signed.

But after the contract was signed, Wang Ting smiled wryly.

Even, regardless of Niu Fan's presence, he made a big gift to Li Chongyuan and asked: "Uncle Li, the court has something to ask, please agree to it."

"Brother Wang, you don't deserve your request. If you have something to say directly, you don't need to make any big gifts to me. I, Li Chongyuan, are younger than you, so I can't afford your big gifts." Although Li Chongyuan didn't know Wang Ting Why is this, but he said that asking for something is definitely not a trivial matter.

even.

Li Chongyuan felt a little more wary in his heart.

after all.

I have fought a big battle with this royal court, and if there is no enmity, there is enmity.

At this time, Wang Ting said that he had something to ask, if there was a conspiracy, Li Chongyuan had to be careful.

but.

Wang Ting did not shut up because of the enmity between the two in the business field, but quickly said, "Li Xianbo, although the saponin contract has been signed, but Ting urgently needs a lot of money to save his life. Please Li Xianbo sees that you and I don't know each other, and help the court again."

"?"

Simultaneously.

A big question mark flashed in the minds of Li Chongyuan and Niu Fan.

borrow money.

Li Chongyuan's first reaction was that Wang Ting was desperate and asked his enemy to borrow money.

It shouldn't be.

Fighting back and forth with this royal court, the enemy has already been born.

But at the moment Wang Ting asked Li Chongyuan to borrow money regardless of his own face, which made Li Chongyuan start to doubt whether Wang Ting's words came with some kind of conspiracy.

Even Niu Fan was surprised. He looked at Li Chongyuan again and again, as if he was asking, did Wang Ting, the second wife of the Wang family, have a wrong appointment?

Did you take the medicine wrong?

Outsiders can't tell.

Seeing that Li Chongyuan didn't respond for a long time, Wang Ting made another big gift, and said anxiously: "Uncle Li, my Wang Ting was once blinded by lard, and I fought with you once, but it was all over the place." Lose. Li Xianbo, you have a lot, forgive me this time, Li Xianbo will be my benefactor in the future. Please Li Xianbo, for the sake of friendship between you and me, agree to the request of the court."

"Brother Wang, what are you talking about? In terms of age, you are much older than me, so how can you say anything about being a benefactor. However, I really want to know, why would you want to borrow money from me? As far as I know, your Wang family's annual income is estimated to be comparable to half a year's profit and tax of my Tang Dynasty, even if Brother Wang is short of money, he won't come to me, right?" Li Chongyuan was very curious.

Wang Ting looked at Niu Fan with a wry smile, and then at Li Chongyuan.

Then he fell heavily on the chair, and said with a sad smile: "Uncle Li doesn't know something. At that time, I started a price war with you, Uncle Li, and sold all my personal properties in Chang'an, and even, I also borrowed 15 guan from Zhenyuan Temple. Seeing that the day to repay the loan is not many days away, my third brother was desperate to save me, and I personally came to the door of each house to ask for help, but they were all rejected. Therefore, Ting I can only have a thick skin and turn to County Uncle Li for help."

"I go."

"Huh."

When Li Chongyuan and Niu Fan heard Wang Ting's words, they were so shocked that they were about to speak rudely.

Borrow from Zhenyuan Temple.

This is really a ruthless person.

He didn't trick Li Chongyuan, but he tricked himself first.

This made Li Chongyuan really not understand how determined Wang Ting was at that time to fight himself to the end.

Fortunately, everything was peaceful, and Li Chongyuan made a lot of money.

even.

So far, Wang Ting has begged to come to him.

A loan of 15 Guan.

Wang Ting really dared to borrow such a huge amount, and he even opened his mouth to the Zhenyuan Temple.

It can be seen that Wang Ting already believed that he would win the price war at that time, otherwise, he would be discouraged from putting it on anyone.

But at this time Wang Ting opened his mouth to borrow money from himself, which made Li Chongyuan know the power of the temple even more.

rich.

too rich.

Anyone who is rich and has a family has to be courteous.

But as soon as he thought of this temple, a monk appeared in Li Chongyuan's mind unintentionally.

On Niu Shou Mountain, the monk in that temple.

Immediately.

Li Chongyuan shivered suddenly, feeling very uncomfortable.

Think again and again.

Li Chongyuan opened his mouth and said to Wang Ting: "Brother Wang, let's discuss the matter of borrowing money later. Let's deal with the matter of saponins first, and then we will talk about other things. Besides, your opening is 15 guan, and I, Li Chongyuan, are considered No matter how rich I am, I can’t get 15 yuan out, and I have to raise [-] yuan to be enough.”

When Wang Ting heard Li Chongyuan's words, his eyes shone brightly.

No rejection.

Immediately, as if he had caught a straw, Wang Ting quickly stood up from his chair and grabbed Li Chongyuan's hands, "Li Xianbo, as long as you can save me this time, you Li Xianbo will be my benefactor. From now on, As long as there is any matter for you Li Xianbo, my royal court will definitely go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate."

"Brother Wang, brother Wang, get the saponins here first. Regarding money, think of a way slowly, there is always a chance." Li Chongyuan was a little hurt by Wang Ting's hands, and he quickly pulled back and took a step back.

A person without reason uses his strength to the extreme.

Moreover, Li Chongyuan had to think carefully about the situation of this matter.

money.

He Li Chongyuan has plenty.

But whether to borrow or not, it is really difficult for him to express his opinion at the moment.

Moreover.

Niu Fan is still there, and he, Li Chongyuan, dare not say that he has borrowed so much money.

If Niu Fan's mouth was too big and he revealed this matter, Li Chongyuan would really become a real rich businessman.

The excitement on Wang Ting's face was completely different from the one just now.

Shortly after.

Wang Ting left Li Zhuang happily.

But Li Chongyuan was sitting opposite Niu Fan, drinking tea and talking leisurely.

"Magistrate Li, it turns out that you and the royal court fought the price war of saponin some time ago? I wonder who has such a big deal. Haha, okay, okay, once the price war starts, Some people in our Hu County have benefited. County Magistrate Li, you can do this a few more times, and in this way, our Hu County will become extremely prosperous." Niu Fan was very happy.

but.

Li Chongyuan frowned, thinking about Wang Ting's borrowing money, "Brother Fan, it's really not me, it's really not me, it was done by my uncle, it has nothing to do with me. "

Li Chongyuan lied.

Even if this matter is true, Li Chongyuan can't admit it.

Niu Fan seemed to understand, and stopped talking about the saponin price war.

"Magistrate Li, this is the first time for me to come to your Li village. How about the magistrate Li take me around? I heard that Li Zhuang, the magistrate of Li, is very rich. , I, Niu Fan, listen to the most, but you are Li Zhuang." Niu Fan turned to other words.

Li Chongyuan took a sip of tea from the tea bowl, got up and said: "Okay, then I will take Brother Fan to take a good look at my Lizhuang today. By the way, I will show you the repair situation of the flooded water, so that you, the master, will know What is the major issue of the national economy and people's livelihood."

immediately.

Li Chongyuan took Niu Fan out of the courtyard and walked towards the flooded water.
