Chapter 44 One Way

Shan Cheng was so angry that he was short of breath and his eyes were wide open. He is eighteen years old and has a strong body. He has no beard on his face, his hair is tied in a bun behind his head, and he wears a huge gold ring in his left ear. Inch.

He is not wearing the traditional Jingman clothes made of mulberry bark. His narrow-sleeved short jacket and knee-covering shorts are all made of fine Han Chinese fabrics, and dyed with grass to make the clothes brightly colored.

Jing Man is "good at five colors" and "adorned with colorful cloth". Even though he has a deep Sinicization, he has not changed Jing Man's simple aesthetics.

Jing Man lives in the mountains and takes the family as the unit. Generally, three to ten families form a family, and several to ten families form a village.Shan Cheng's father is the owner of a cottage with more than [-] households and [-] people.As far as Jingman is concerned, its influence is already considerable.

Shan Cheng's cottage is located in the Hengshan area. As for why he appeared in Linxiang, which is three hundred miles away, it is because he does not want to be exploited by Han merchants any longer.

By chance, he learned from a trader's insurance agent that a deerskin in good condition could be sold for [-] yuan in Linxiang, while the price offered by the Han merchants when they came to their cottage was only [-] to [-] yuan. three times.This amount of money is often earned back by Han merchants before it is heated up.

The more you think about it, the more you get angry. Why do they go through life and death all day long, but they can only get a little benefit, while the Han merchants can get the most benefit without doing anything.

After spending a lot of time talking and convincing my father, I made this trip to Linxiang.

However, Shan Cheng still thought of things too simply, and the reality gave him a blow to the head.

He lacked both channels and connections, and he was still a man of Jing himself. He came to Linxiang rashly, and all he had to do was write "I am a fat sheep" on his face. How could Linxiang leather merchants not take the opportunity to lower prices aggressively.

This is already the fourth skin shop I visited in a one-way trip. A piece of good deer hide, the previous three shops only paid a hundred dollars at most, and this one was even more extreme, only giving [-] dollars.

Unable to suppress the anger in his heart, Shan Cheng said in fluent Chinese: "Before I came, I had already found out that the market price of a piece of intact buckskin should be [-] yuan, and your place is less than half of the market price. Are you looking at me?" Is it a descendant of Panhu who deliberately deceived me?"

The leather merchant was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing white fine linen clothes. He said sarcastically, "You want to sell a buckskin for two hundred dollars? It's just wishful thinking. It's a bear or a tiger. The skin is about the same."

Even if you don't know the fur market, you know how precious bear and tiger skins are, how can they be worth only two hundred dollars, and visiting so many leather shops along the way is the most dark heart in front of you.

If he is not in the border of the Han people, he must let the other party know how powerful he is.Now I can only endure the bad breath and go to the next one to have a look.However, for this trip to Linxiang, he has already given birth to a bit of pessimism.

Seeing that Jingman was about to leave, the leather merchant said unhurriedly: "Manzi, from the moment you came to my place, no one in Linxiang will dare to take your fur goods, unless you bring them back intact. home, or you can only sell it to me."

"Han thief, what are you talking about?!" Shan Cheng was furious, and with a "clang" sound, he pulled out his long sword from his waist, and the seven Jingman companions who were following behind him also showed their weapons.

"Why? Do you still want to do something here? You are blind! Don't ask who owns this property."

The leather merchant was not afraid, and when he gave an order, more than a dozen security servants with green scarves and straw shoes and sharp knives rushed out from behind the mansion, and surrounded Jingman instead.These maids are all strong and fierce, more like thugs.

The conflict was on the verge of breaking out, Liu Jing just arrived, hurriedly pushed aside the crowd, and walked into the [-]th.

The leather merchant saw that the person who came was a young man wearing a black silk hood and a gray red-rimmed leader's robe. He didn't pay much attention at first, but when he changed his mind, he seemed to remember something, saluted respectfully, and asked Said: "The villain would venture to ask, is the Shi Zuo Shi Liu Jun under your feet?"

Liu Jing raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, nodded lightly and said, "That's right, you know me?"

The leather merchant signaled the servants to put away their weapons, then knelt down on the ground and paid homage.Through his self-introduction, Liu Jingcai knew that his name was Zhou Wei, and he was the family slave of clan brother Liu Zong. This leather shop was impressively owned by clan brother Liu Zong.

He thought, no wonder this person behaved so arrogantly and domineeringly, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is bullying and dominating the market, it turned out that he relied on the power of his clan brother Liu Zong.

This also explains why there are so many thugs in a leather shop. They are probably Liu Zong's servants and help in the shop on weekdays.

Since the other party is the family slave of clan brother Liu Zong, Liu Jing doesn't need to be polite to him. After helping him up, he said:

"When the elder brother was in his twelfth year, he was so sad that he devoted all his money to making friends and avenged the murder of his father, which aroused the admiration of everyone in Changsha. For more than ten years, the eldest brother raised his name at home, and his reputation grew day by day. People mentioned the name of 'Liu Bosi' , all praises are added, and there is no bad word. As the person around the elder brother, you should know best how much effort the elder brother has put in to have such a good reputation now..."

Hearing this, Zhou Wei was already sweating profusely, fighting with each other.

Liu Jing changed the subject and said, "And what about you? As the elder brother's family slave, not only did he not cherish his reputation, but instead took advantage of his power to invade customers, buy and sell by force, bully the market..."

Zhou Wei was frightened out of his wits, knelt down with a "dong", touched his forehead to the ground, and said repeatedly: "The villain deserves death, the villain deserves death..."

All the servants in the [-], or the housekeepers, couldn't help but look at each other, and also knelt down to plead guilty.

Liu Jing shook his head, signaled them to get up, and then came to Shan Cheng, clasped his fists, and said sincerely: "I am the history of the city, and I have the responsibility to monitor all the shops. Personally, I have an unshirkable responsibility, and I am very sorry for what happened to you today."

Duan Cheng is not an unreasonable barbarian, Liu Jing apologized to him face to face, most of the anger in his heart dissipated immediately, he slowly inserted the sword back into the scabbard, shook his head and said: "This matter is all his fault, it has nothing to do with you." Leaning at Zhou Wei, his heart is still brooding.

Liu Jing stretched out his hand to call Zhou Wei, who knew what he meant and apologized to Shan Cheng repeatedly.

Liu Jing said meaningfully at the side: "I have a saying: 'People can't stand without trust, and businesses can't prosper without trust. As a long-term plan, I hope you can take care of yourself with one step.”

"Liu Jun's words, the villain will remember them in his heart." Zhou Wei bowed deeply, his forehead sweating like rain.

In the end, Zhou Wei bought all the leather goods in Yi Cheng's hands at the market price, and was willing to start a follow-up cooperation with him, and finally got the latter's forgiveness, so that the matter finally had a happy result.
