retaliate

Chapter 353 Yang Gou is in trouble

The woman has Danfeng eyes, and when she raises her eyebrows slightly, she looks a little more capable.When she heard the sound and turned her head, the old thief tried hard to think about Cao Ying's gentleman and smiled.

The woman took a step back calmly, "What's the matter, sir?"

The old thief wanted to get close, but he didn't expect the woman to reject him thousands of miles away. He smiled and said, "Are you waiting for this to be a show?"

The woman nodded, "Just like what the envoy said, you can eat for a living."

The old thief said, "I haven't seen you in Lin'an recently."

"newcomer."

"From where?"

"You are……"

The routine was forced to end, and the old thief left with a dry smile. Turning around, he saw that Wang Laoer was still looking at the girl, and the girl stared at him with disgust, and went to grab him, "Let's go!"

Wang Laoer struggled a bit, and said to the girl, "How did you practice? Maybe you can teach me later? I'll give you money!"

The girl snorted coldly, "Dengtuzi!"

Wang Laoer looked at the old thief, "What is Dengtuzi?"

"Say you molested women." The old thief said righteously: "Don't keep staring at women from now on, you will be beaten severely."

"Then you couldn't take your eyes off it before!"

"Fart! The old man was checking for the gentleman before." The old thief sighed: "For the sake of being close to the people, the gentleman allowed them to perform here. We have to keep an eye on it."

He smiled again and asked, "Second brother, do you think the old man is smiling like Lao Cao?"

Wang Laoer looked at it, "It's not like."

"Who does that look like?"

"Like Uda."

Uda couldn't walk when he saw a beautiful woman. When he was in Luoluo, he could even sleep with that loose woman, and was denounced by everyone as a shame for the guard.

"Old thief, second child!"

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

Cao Ying walked vigorously, with a smile on her lips.

"As soon as the old man saw Lao Cao, he thought of one word... Prosperous."

The three entered the prefecture,

Yang Xuan and Lu Qiang were taking a walk in front of the check-in room.

"Just after the envoy went to the grassland, there were a lot fewer merchants in Lin'an."

"It's watching."

"Businessmen value profits! Be vigilant!"

Yang Xuan took two thousand riders to the grassland. This was a signal... a signal that the new envoy was restless.

If Liu Qing was replaced, he would definitely send a Liao Zuo to the meeting. What is the meaning of two thousand cavalry, at most one or two hundred cavalry with him?

"Those people said that the envoy is stupid and bold." Lu Qiang nodded to Cao Ying who came over, and continued: "Someone even sold the shop at a low price in a hurry, and left with the goods."

"It's going to rain, feel free." Yang Xuan was very relaxed.

"After the envoy returned, many people came back again." Lu Qiang said: "Emissary, merchants value profits over righteousness, so be vigilant!"

Because of being located on the front line of northern Xinjiang, Chenzhou was quite wary of the grassland merchants and forbade them to trade.

"Old Lu, originally Chenzhou did not allow grassland merchants to trade, but those furs have flowed into the Tang Dynasty continuously." Yang Xuan shook his head, "It is better to be blocked."

Lu Qiang said: "This time, the envoy raised his power on the grassland and shocked the three major ministries. It's a good thing, but since Tanzhou and the three major ministries will pay special attention to me, Chen Zhou, I think it's best to be careful."

"Old Lu, you have to look at the overall situation. Don't worry about a little possibility." Yang Xuan suddenly asked, "Old Lu, are you always worried and anxious about some things?"

Lu Qiang was stunned, "How did Shi Jun know about this?"

"Relax!" Yang Xuan laughed.

"Those businessmen have been talking a lot recently, and I'm worried about what they're planning." Lu Qiang's anxiety seemed serious.

"Old Lu." Yang Xuan felt that this was a disease, "Just think about it, if you retreat ten thousand steps, even if all the merchants are gone, are we afraid?"

Lu Qiang was taken aback, "It doesn't seem to be afraid, it's been like this before."

"So, even if all the grassland merchants leave, it's just going back to the past!"

As expected, Lu Qiang felt relieved, and said with a smile, "I wish you a good opinion."

Old Lu, you have to calm down!

Later, Yang Xuan came out of the latrine, and Cao Ying waited outside.

"In the past, the old man thought that Lu Qiang had been in Chenzhou for many years, and Liu Qing had to help him no matter what, and let him take over, but later it was Mr. Lang who took over. The old man thought Liu Qing was not kind."

Cao Ying said: "But today, the old man discovered that Lu Qiang can't control one side."

"He can't stabilize." Yang Xuan discovered this problem a long time ago, "This is a problem."

"Possible cure?" Cao Ying asked.

Yang Xuan glanced at him, "If not, do you want to find a way to get him away?"

Cao Ying smiled very gentlemanly, "Where is it?"

If Lu Qiang can stand alone, it will be a dangerous factor and a variable for the small circle.

Cao Ying changed the subject, "Some of the businessmen came back, but some of them didn't come back, and I don't know why."

Yang Xuan said indifferently: "The businessman forgets righteousness when he sees profit."

……

Outside Chenzhou City, due to the increasing number of merchants, some sheds were set up to provide shelter from the rain and shade for passers-by.

At this moment, more than a dozen people occupied a shed, and some people seemed to be strolling around boredly outside, but they were actually staring at the people passing by.

Sitting at the top is Boluo, a wealthy businessman from the Tiger Control Department. His family has a big business, and the amount of fur he gets every year is scary.

At this moment, he looked at the merchants reservedly, "This time Yang Gou provoked public anger in the grassland, and Khan said that he wants to cut off the trade with Chenzhou. What do you think?"

All those present here are wealthy businessmen from the three major departments. Some people are thoughtful and some are confident.

Ha Chi, a wealthy businessman in the south of the town, said: "It seems that everyone has been ordered?"

Bo Luo smiled, "Probably so. What do you think?"

Someone said: "If the trade is cut off, who will we sell our fur to?"

Bo Luo casually took out a small knife and slowly cut his fingernails, "Chenzhou never did business with us in the past, who did we sell our fur to?"

Ha Chi said: "Can those Tang businessmen bear it? They certainly can't. If so, let's smuggle as usual."

Someone lowered his voice and said happily: "There is no need to pay taxes for smuggling."

Bo Luo looked up at him, and said contemptuously, "Do you like that little money?"

The scale of Boluo's business is huge, and the businessman blushed, "Isn't this poor?"

Ha Chi sighed, "However... saving a little is a little bit!"

Everyone laughed lowly.

Bo Luo said indifferently: "You still need to join hands in this matter, go back and tell those small businessmen, after half a year, it will be settled naturally."

A businessman asked cautiously: "Dare to ask... why is the trade cut off this time?"

"Yes! Although it can be smuggled, smuggling is dangerous and the quantity is small. Who do we sell the rest of the fur to?"

Ha Chi said coldly: "It's good to sell our goods. As for those small businessmen, if they dare to come to Chenzhou for trade, they can just take them."

Before something crashes, keep the interests of the bosses, as for other shrimps, just ask for blessings!

"Makes sense."

"But what is the purpose of this time?"

The so-called no profit can't get up early, it is impossible for businessmen to give up their own benefits for the reasons of the khans.

Bo Luo said indifferently: "Before this, Chenzhou was a pool of stagnant water. After Yang Dog came, he prepared his army for war and bared his teeth everywhere, causing us a lot of trouble."

This is the truth!

"Without Yang Gou, we would still be smuggling furs without paying taxes."

"Kill Yang Gou to relieve the hatred."

Bo Luo put away the knife, "The above means... drive away Yang Gou."

Ha Chi smiled sinisterly, "What does Yang Gou rely on? It relies on the trade. After the trade, Chenzhou's life is much easier. Now many people have tasted the sweetness, and their families rely on business to make money. If it is cut off How about it?"

"If it is broken, those businessmen will be dissatisfied with Yang Gou, and those common people will curse Yang Gou to die if they lose their livelihood."

"In this way, the soldiers and civilians in Chenzhou are dissatisfied with Yang Gou, and if pressure is put on the outside, how long can Yang Gou stay?"

Bo Luo stood up, "Is it all right?"

"Sure!" Everyone nodded vigorously.

"Then let's get started!"

Bo Luo winked at Ha Chi, and the two quietly entered the city.

Later, the two entered a shop.

"Your Majesty is behind." A man led them to the backyard.

In the courtyard of the backyard, a middle-aged man was drinking tea.

"Lang Fei!" Bo Luo frowned, feeling that it was impolite for the man not to stand up to greet him.

Lang Fei glanced at him, raised his teacup, "I just made good tea, how about a cup?"

Bo Luo came over and sat down, "The old man must go back quickly."

"Then make a long story short."

"Our furs are all collected."

"It's [-]% lower than the price given to the old man in the past."

"Twenty percent? Why don't you go grab it?"

"The risk of smuggling is high."

"But the benefits are great!" Ha Chi said dissatisfied: "This is an initiative to give you benefits!"

"But I need money to maintain those relationships." Lang Fei said with a smile: "Besides, are you trying to target Yang Shijun? Let the old man be the internal response and betray Datang, it will be difficult for the old man!"

Bo Luo said lightly: "Come on! You and I are both businessmen. As long as you give enough money, even your parents can sell it. Two percent is too much, one and a half percent, if it works, if it doesn't work, go back to different places, we are the big deal Hold back for half a year!"

"make a deal!"

The three pairs of eyes looked at each other, and a smile gradually burst out.

When he walked out of the shop gate, Bo Luo said, "Yanggou is in trouble!"

……

After getting up in the morning, Zhou Ning arranged the housework and went out with a few guards and maids.

"See if there are any good medicines, and prepare some at least."

Yan Xiao said: "My lady, it's gone."

Zhou Ning looked slowly, and saw that the long street was empty and deserted.

"What about people?"

The prairie merchant ran away.

"My lord, many Hu merchants left with their goods yesterday."

Lu Qiang's face was reddish, and he gritted his teeth and said, "A group of low dog slaves, it was Chen Zhou who gave them a chance to make a fortune, but now they are fighting back."

Yang Xuan drank tea and asked slowly: "How many people are here?"

"More than ten people."

More than a dozen Hu merchants looked at the empty streets, a little dazed.

The old thief came out and found a businessman and came back.

When seeing Yang Xuan, Hu Shang was so excited that he knelt down to salute.

"Ao Jin, the villain, met the envoy."

Yang Xuan smiled, "There is no need to do that."

Ao Jin said excitedly: "The villain used to be a herder, but later the cattle and sheep were robbed, and the whole family was about to starve to death. When he heard about the trade in Chenzhou, the villain sold all his belongings and collected some furs to sell in Lai'an. , I made a lot of money at once..."

The old thief glanced at Yang Xuan, and muttered, "This is the Buddha of the Wan family."

Yang Xuan touched the back of his head, but did not feel the halo.

"Why don't those merchants come?" Yang Xuan asked with a smile.

Ao Jin said: "The villain heard that the three major ministries have joined forces, and merchants from each ministries are not allowed to come to Chenzhou to trade, and the envoy will starve to death."

"No one resisted?" Yang Xuan felt that the merchants were too kind.

"Yes, it was suppressed, and the Khans of the three major ministries have all let go, saying that the uncle of the emperor of Tanzhou is on the verge of death, and whoever dares to rebel will destroy the family. That's why those wealthy merchants are afraid."

Everyone's hearts sank, but Yang Xuan smiled and said, "Then why are you here?"

Ao Jin raised his head, his eyes bright, "The villain's way of life was given by the envoy. Hearing this news, the villain knew that the envoy would be in trouble, so he brought his family and all the goods. Even if the villain died, he still wanted to Died under the ruler's rule."

"Treat him well!" Yang Xuan felt that this was an excellent example and wanted to promote it.

After Ao Jin left, Lu Qiang sighed, "Sure enough."

Yang Xuan was not in a hurry, and when it was almost noon, he even went to the kitchen to guide the work.

"Don't wash the mutton too clean, throw it in and cook it, just skim off the foam, don't put those things, just throw some ginger slices."

There is a cafeteria in the state, and meals are provided free of charge every day.

Yang Xuan made some big pancakes and a bowl of mutton soup, and ate heartily.

Just some garlic.

Yang Xuan searched, but couldn't find it, "Go back and get some garlic, throw it on the table, anyone who wants to eat it will take it himself!"

In the past, everyone would definitely praise Shijun for his wisdom, but today he is a bit lifeless.

Sitting opposite Yang Xuan, Cao Ying said in a low voice: "After the trade between Chenzhou and the grasslands, the tax has increased a lot, the tide has risen, the food has also improved a lot, and there is mutton every day. Now that the trade has been cut off, they are worried about the future. It will go back to the past.”

"It's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal." Yang Xuan put down his chopsticks, "Our life is not easy, but can those businessmen's life be easy?"

Cao Ying slowly broke up the pancake and threw it into the mutton soup, "The old man is thinking, who can sell the fur and cattle and sheep in their hands. The price is too low to sell to Tanzhou. Businessmen are chasing profits, can they bear it?"

"Old Cao, you forgot one thing." Yang Xuan took a sip of the soup and thought about it happily.

"What's the matter?"

"smuggling!"

Wu Da entered the dining hall, walked to Yang Xuan's side under everyone's gaze, leaned over, and said in a low voice: "The carts of several wealthy merchants in Chenzhou have left the city one after another."

Yang Xuan smiled and said, "Look, it's here."

Cao Ying's eyes lit up, "Mr. Lang is already prepared?"

Yang Xuan said indifferently: "Old Cao, do you know what business makes the most money?"

He asked himself and answered, "Business without money!"

……

The three major merchants were ordered not to go to Chenzhou for trade. Not only was Lin'an city extremely deserted, but Taiping was also affected.

Looking at the empty streets, Zhen Siwen said to those Taiping merchants with a cold face, "Don't worry, Shijun will definitely have the means to fight back."

A businessman smiled wryly, "It's not just me, what about the hired workers who depend on me?"

This is a big problem.

Zhen Siwen looked at him, "Don't worry!"

Envoy must do it!

A few days later, a convoy arrived on the grassland.

Not large.

The two sides completed the smuggling trade at night.

Look around, no army appears.

"appropriate!"

"appropriate!"

When the two parties were rejoicing, Wang Laoer said in a far away boredly: "Why don't you do it, Mr. Lang?"

The old thief secretly touched Wang Laoer's jerky, "Lang Jun said, he doesn't like small business!"
