Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 301, the flag of the county king is raised

Wang Ergou was too obsessed with buying wine, so he didn't pay attention to Tang Yu's approach. When he saw Tang Yu, he panicked, and the first thought that came to his mind was that he couldn't buy wine?

King Pingxi has a reputation as a bandit in Beijing, but his rule is extremely strict and he does not allow extortion of passing caravans.

Wang Ergou was willing to buy wine at 20 taels because he knew the wine was good, and he had no idea how much the wine was worth. If Hou Ping and Yunfei suggested that it was not enough, he could add some more, but Gong Guogong appeared and said no. So that Wang Ergou can be held accountable for extorting drinks at any time.

This is the kind of officials who don’t care about receiving less money, but they must strictly investigate when they encounter it.

Wang Ergou used his brain urgently, raised his eyes and saw Tang Yu appeared, came up with an idea, and grabbed Hou Ping's hand: "Brother, this is our Duke Lu." A few ingots were forced into Hou Ping's hands.

Fearing that Hou Ping would not be able to hold it, Wang Ergou helped hold Hou Ping's hand again.

Tang Lu sneered: "What's your name?"

"Master Hui, my name is Wang Ergou!"

"No money is allowed, you know?"

"I know, I know, I didn't take the money, but the boss took the money on the road and was worried about the quality, so he asked me to help check the quality, hehe."

Tang Lu looked at Hou Ping, and Hou Ping looked at him. Yun Fei felt that there was something strange among them, and it was not surprising. Hou Ping came to give the New Year gift.

Yun Zhan has never thought of hiding from Prince Pingxi, so he will tell you when he finds out.

Tang Lu smiled faintly: "This one?"

"Hou."

"General Hou."

"No, Manager Hou." Hou Ping grinned, and prevaricated Tang Yu with what he had said to Hua Tianyu: "After General Dong Yi died in battle, General Pang Dasheng took over me and refused to accept it. Now I am a good man."

Tang Lu took a sip: "If you don't serve as a soldier, you are called Congliang, but if you are a soldier, you are called Fantou? Standing here, if you dare to curse, you are looking for a beating!"

Hou Ping didn't dare to speak out, and no longer tried to be aggressive in words.

Tang Lu sighed in the north wind: "General Pang also died in battle, four years after you left."

Hou Ping lowered his eyes and silently expressed his condolences. He knew that Tang Yu was talking about the fourth year after Shizi Yunzhan returned to Beijing at the age of ten, not the fourth year when General Dong Yi died in battle as he lied about.

"He's buried not far from Guxi, burn incense for him when you have time, don't just borrow someone's name for nothing." Tang Lu turned around after speaking, "Let's go, it's still far away from Guxi in cold weather."

Hou Ping pretended to follow a step: "Don't you see the road signs I brought? I also brought other things to prove my identity."

Tang Lu sneered: "I can also write, isn't it just to do things cheaply, I can write these words well."

A voice came from behind: "Brothers, Duke Gong let us go, let's raise the flag."

With a sound of hula-la against the wind, Tang Lu also turned around to see that a large flag was fluttering in the wind, with the words Pingxi written on it.

Tang Lu raised his hand and pointed at Hou Ping: "You dare to fight this flag even if you are capable!"

Hou Ping Yunfei turned around, gave him his back, and directed the loading of the rest of the goods. No matter whether it was Wang Ergou's entanglement or the appearance of Mr. Lu, the government soldiers did not stop, and there were still a few cars loaded in a blink of an eye. Under his nose, 110, a cart with the flag of King Pingxi floating above it, was heading towards Guxi.

Tang Bun couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.

Wang Ergou saw it in his eyes, this really rough man still didn't think of anything, he has managed the wharf for several years, if the merchant ships coming here are capable, they will try to get involved with the Prince's Mansion of Pingxi County, even if they know the porter It can also be said.

In order to be able to do business in the northwest without hindrance, he spared no expense to make friends with the Prince of Pingxi County. The King of Pingxi County does not buy into merchants. His brothers, clan brothers, and relatives are the main objects of friendship with merchants.

Wang Ergou often encountered people who took out an official document and claimed to be the confidant of the princes.

The son-in-law of Mr. Guxi Yuanyuan sent a hundred carts of goods last time. According to Zhang Liang's big mouth, he guessed that there were hundreds of thousands of silver coins. This son-in-law is really willing to give gifts to his father-in-law. Well, it is estimated that it is also possible for the daughter to sink into the pond.

Wang Ergou laughed at him, saying that it is called sinking fish and falling geese, and there are swans in the sky who are born handsome, do you understand?

It is not surprising that hundreds of thousands of boxing gifts are accompanied by making friends with a big man. Zhang Liang also said that we did our best not to let the son-in-law lose money, and gave the son-in-law all we could to do business in the interior.

Wang Ergou began to slander him while drinking the wine of filial piety to his son-in-law: "So he gave hundreds of thousands of Mid-Autumn Festival gifts, but he actually thought about how much to take with him."

Zhang Liang showed some conscience: "It's hard to say, no one can say how much he can bring back, but the son-in-law still has a filial heart."

The final conclusion is that hundreds of thousands of gifts can be afforded, and it is no problem to spend tens of thousands to manage them. The prices announced by the Northwest Dukes are [-] for an ordinary official document, and [-] can be taken care of by the nearby military camps. , more than [-] yuan can invite the princes of the state to come out and sit down.It is always good for Pingxi County Palace to make money.

There are two points of criticism from others. First, there are rough men in the Northwest. They can read him, but he can't.Two, rich.

The banner of Pingxi County King went away, Tang Lu got on his horse and returned to the city, Wang Ergou and his soldiers continued the routine inspection, no one said anything more.

At first glance, this means that there is enough money stuffed, and Gong Guogong accompanied him to perform a show. In the future, the caravan of Mr. Yuan Yuan's son-in-law will have a lot of face in the northwest.

If you have enough money, it is very easy to do things on the ground in the northwest.

After Wang Ergou checked the arrival of the ships and walked to the office where he was resting, a soldier remembered to make a fuss: "Captain, your 20 taels of silver wasted? That's 20 taels."

"What's the matter! I can do something that has no foundation?" Wang Ergou smugly said, "You have to give me wine after collecting the money. Did you see that I said 20 taels? This is the way people do business. They only recognize more money in their eyes. You give him 20 taels, and he still wants 200 taels. Fortunately, Duke Gong came, so I slammed the money into his hand and told a little lie He won’t do it if he doesn’t want it. Hehe, next month I’ll be on vacation, so I’ll go directly to Guxi to ask Master Yuan for wine, Zhang Liang said, Master Yuan is generous, maybe I’ll give you eleven catties for ten catties.”

Wang Ergou happily went back to rest.

The military camp of Prince Pingxi is about ten miles away from the wharf, which is far more than the ten-mile company camp. Tang Lu rode his horse into the military camp and had to gallop for a while to get to his brother's camp. As soon as it was open, Tang Huan saw at a glance that among the people surrounded by the upper half of the southeast corner, two people beat one.

He frowned but didn't say anything, got off his horse outside the king's tent, asked the guards if there was anyone else, and went straight in.
