Dark Fairy

Chapter 241
Bailang sat on the carriage returning with a smile on his face.No matter what happens next, the result of the previous talks with Zhou and Hou families is still very good.

Food, especially food that can be used as rations, is far more scarce and difficult to obtain than gold and silver.Even this is a strategic material that is restricted and controlled in all aspects.Reselling and selling will be punished by wearing a hat.

Of course, the knife shop is not a business with Zhou and Hou, but a gift.Moreover, these grains do not go through the government-run route, but are stockpiled by the big households themselves.Belongs to private property.There is still a lot of room for maneuver in the case that the Hong Dynasty has not started to confiscate private property on a large scale.

It's just that Bailang's Lion's Big Opening failed to fulfill his wish in the end. Five boats of food were missing, but four boats were still available.This is enough to feed a thousand people for a year.Although this is nothing in the past, it can be easily taken out by any big grain merchant.Now it is the largest amount that Zhou and Hou can coordinate together.

"Zhang Wu, there will be batches of grain that will arrive at the pier in three days. You need to get me three large ships from the nearest warehouse to measure it out. It cannot be delayed." Back in Masheng Lane, Bailang immediately asked Zhang Wu to find him. come over.When the grain coordinated by Zhou and Hou came, there must be a safe storage place.Nowadays, the wharf is much more suitable than the hemp rope alley, and it is more convenient for temporary transportation.

Zhang Wu acted as the leader of the waist knife on the dock, handling affairs with Zhang Shun. After hearing Bai Lang's order, he quickly responded.After all, the warehouses on the docks are very tight nowadays.Especially when the Zhou and Hou families were eroded, their production was severely reduced, and there was a backlog of various raw materials in the warehouse.Especially where food is stored, the docks are humid and food requires special warehouses, so arrangements need to be made in advance.

"In addition, contact a few small boats to wait for use at the dock. Remember, the small boats need reliable people to operate them."

"Don't worry, Zhang Shun at the wharf has already organized his own fleet of small ships to do some zero-hour assembly for some large ships that are berthing. Complete the unloading and go ashore by boat. I will tell Zhang Shun to arrange reliable people to wait for your news." Zhang Wu didn't dare to ask more questions, but he still had a clear mind on what he should do.

"Well, hurry up. In addition, in the last few days, you should also tell Wang Si not to worry about it. No matter what changes on the street, don't get involved. Keep the state you told you before, and only care about petty theft and Small shops. Don’t meddle in the affairs of those big companies, and don’t even take a second look. Remember.”

"Good seat knife, I will tell Wang Si."

"Go down."

Here Zhang Wu had just left with his front foot, when Yang Xiu made a pass on his back foot and walked in.

"There's no need to salute, I'm very busy, so hurry up and talk about it." Bailang flipped through the accounts sent today, including those from Qu Feng's side, and those from Zhang Xun and Wang Bing's side.He needs to give an answer today, and he doesn't know how much brains he will spend.

Yang Xiu bowed after hearing this, and then said: "Zu Dao, there is news from Daomen Village!"

"Oh?" Bailang raised his head after hearing the words, motioning Yang Xiu to sit down.

"Zu Dao, three brothers who went to meet Qiu Chongxi came back today at dawn. The news they brought back is that the people in Daomen Village are willing to negotiate, but the price offered is not low."

While talking, Yang Xiu handed a piece of folded kraft paper to Bai Lang.He continued: "This is the reply letter given by Li Tianfang, the leader of Daomen Village, to Qiu Chongxi. What is listed above are their conditions."

"That is to say, the people in Daomen Village don't reject us wanting to rent a place in their cottage to store things? Is that what you mean?"

"Yes, the seat knife."

Only then did Bailang take the kraft paper with a smile, and then unfolded it to read the contents on the paper.

After a while, Bai Lang re-folded the paper and then snapped his fingers to create a ball of fire, igniting the kraft paper and quickly burning it in mid-air to the ground.

"These thieves still have some brains. They probably think of us as some rich people who don't have knives in their hands. The asking price is quite high. And it's not just money, there are also some requirements for medicinal materials. It's a little strange.

When you were questioning Qiu Chongxi before, did you hear that there was a medicinal herb business in Daomen Village? "

Yang Xiu thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "There is no such way. However, Qiu Chongxi mentioned that Daomen Village has its own clinic."

"Medical Center? Huh, how many people are there in Daomen Village? Even if they get sick every few days, they can't use so many medicinal materials throughout the year. And most of these medicinal materials have age requirements, and some are up to a hundred years old. No need to think about it, these medicinal materials are definitely not cheap.

This is to make it clear that we are going to be slaughtered like fat sheep. "Bai Lang said harshly, but with a smile on his face. Because the other party just agreed to the knife shop's request, that's an opening. As for the price, it seems to be the price now, and it's hard to tell who's wedding dress is whose wedding dress in the future. So Bailang didn't get angry when he saw the lion in Daomen Village opened his mouth wide.

"Reply to Daomenzhai, saying that we can only meet half of these conditions. If they agree, we will send the rent payment together with our first batch of things as soon as possible.

If they still want to bargain, let the brothers in front control it themselves. As long as the category of what they need is not changed, the bottom line of the total amount is [-]% of the full amount requested by the other party, and the rest can be decided by themselves, and there is no need to go back and forth. Show me what a waste of time. "

"I understand Zuo Dao, and I will finalize the matter of Daomen Village as soon as possible. It's just that there is no manpower to go there for the time being. Could it be that these thieves are just giving such big benefits for nothing?"

"Haha, Yang Hongdao, you have to eat your food one bite at a time. Find a place to stay first. In terms of manpower, it's not appropriate to go too many at the beginning. Just find a few smart people. What's important for us now is to keep the industrial park here Hold it firmly. This time Yang Hongdao, you have to be the main force."

"Don't worry, Zuo Dao, the brothers below are all ready, just wait for your order to give the other party a good look!"

"That's good. After the Zhou and Hou families release the smoke, there should be a suitable opportunity to take action in two days. Remember, there must not be half alive this time, and they must be killed cleanly. !”

"The subordinate understands that the knife has been smeared with medicine according to your instructions. As long as it sees blood, it can be poisoned to death even if it is not at a vital point. It is also an ordinary strong medicine that will not leave any tails."

"Well, it's best like this. In addition, don't take it lightly for our own internal affairs. Everything that should be kept secret must be kept secret. You must also pay attention to this, and you are not allowed to tell the people below before doing it."
