The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 946 930 Five: Back to the capital, four people sell Cordyceps ([-])
Following Duan Wuji's cry, the drug dealer also handed over the money.

The time was not too long, so Li Jing and Li Yaoshi hurried back.

"Brother, there are so many motorcades lined up outside your Xiaoyaowang Mansion! I looked at them just now, and there is not much difference in the distance of the motorcade."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "These are all here to buy Cordyceps.

If there are fewer people coming, how can we buy all the caterpillar fungus?
I said Brother Li, don't just stand here, you'd better help Brother Tieniu and the others to count the gold and silver!

Let's talk about other things later!
Business is important now, let's put other things aside for now. "

Seeing that Li Jing and Li Yaoshi are really busy now, they had no choice but to join Tieniu and his team counting silver.

Cordyceps are bought piece by piece, there are big customers who want several hundred catties, and some small customers who want more than ten catties.

No matter how much it is, Duan Wuji and the others will all receive it, and after collecting the gold and silver, they will distribute the goods to others.

When the sun was westward, the drug dealer who called you Niu Wanwan finally came in.

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "I said Boss Niu, how did you let those people rank ahead of you for the goods we contacted?
What is going on here? "

"I said Prince Duan, you don't know about this!

Once there are drugs in short supply, our peers have a rule, that is, to rank according to the results of the lottery, which is considered fair.

The number I drew was relatively late, so there is no way around it!
Fortunately, you have sufficient supply here, I guess each of us can afford it. "

Duan Wuji understood what was going on as soon as he heard it.

"Oh, so that's the case! Then you don't have statistics, how many goods can you people buy this time?"

We also made rough statistics, and there is no more than 5000 catties of Cordyceps, and those of us cannot buy enough.

According to our statistics, we seem to be able to buy five thousand six or seven hundred catties of caterpillar fungus!

I said, Lord Duan, do you have this number of caterpillar fungus? "

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"I have more than 6000 catties of these Cordyceps. I guess you can't buy them all."

"Yes, there are so many goods! Then you can buy slowly.

Let's do this, you can bring me five hundred catties of goods first, and I will send them all over the country soon.

That's fine, then you can pay the money first, and I will weigh the goods for you after paying the money.

When weighing the goods, you have to look at the scale!

For such a precious thing, we don't dare to be short, and we can't afford to give it too much. "

"That's good! Then I'll pay the money first."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Sell Cordyceps five hundred catties, and receive 13 taels of silver."

The caterpillar fungus was sold one by one, until the sun was about to set, and there were no more people who wanted to buy the caterpillar fungus.

The bookkeeper next to Duan Wuji did the math and found that these Cordyceps were sold for a total of 850 catties, and there is still a pile left in the yard!
Duan Wuji stood up and realized that he was already hungry.

I haven't eaten for almost a day, can I not be hungry?
Duan Wuji said with a smile: "I said brother Li Jing, when you went to the morning court, what did the emperor say?"

Li Jing laughed and said: "The emperor was very happy after reading the reply, he asked you three why you didn't go to the morning court, I told him about the Cordyceps we brought back here.

You know what the emperor will say after hearing this. "

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"How do I know this?
I didn't go to the scene again, what the emperor loves to say! "

"The emperor said that the two of you are money stringers, and every time you go out, you think about how to make some money to spend!

The emperor asked me to tell you that he needs five hundred catties of caterpillar fungus in his palace, but the price is lower. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Why did the emperor become so stingy?
He has to worry about such a small matter.

He is not afraid of breaking his heart!

Since he wants this Cordyceps, I will send it to him in two days.

Brother Li, Brother Gongjin, didn't you bet 1 taels of silver this time?
You also know about this, our Cordyceps are bought in bulk for 50 taels of silver per catty, and after the bulk come back, we sell them for 260 taels of silver per catty.

Now let me settle the score for you!

You can take the gold and silver back after you settle the accounts.

A catty of Cordyceps is 50 taels of silver, 1 taels of silver just buys two hundred catties of Cordyceps, and two hundred catties of Cordyceps just sells for 2000 taels of silver.

I said, two brothers, do you think this is the case?
This time you went out with our two brothers, this time it was not in vain!

Everyone made 2000 taels of silver at once, and your life will be much easier after that. "

Li Jing looked at the caterpillar fungus left in the yard and said: "I said brother, I know you two take care of our two brothers, although I don't say that the root hair of your two brothers is thicker than our waist.

But, to be honest, there is really no way to compare the two of us with the two of you.

Maybe you two don't care if you take 10 taels or 8 taels of silver.

But our two brothers are paupers!We have been able to earn so much money in the past few months following you, which is beyond the surprise of our brothers.

How about this!We two brothers appreciate your kindness.

Our brothers only need 5 taels of silver to get it, and for the 2000 taels of silver, you can buy some tea to drink. "

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"I said Brother Li, why are you so polite to us brothers? You earn the money that should be earned by you, not your money, and we will not give you a tael.

Our buddies are so good, you left us 4000 taels of silver, isn't that a slap in the face of our brothers?
To be honest, if the relationship is not good, we will not take you to do business no matter what.

This is called making money for everyone, and we will still work together in the future. Do you think it makes sense? "

"I said brother, don't talk about it, since you have already said this, why don't we take all the money away?
Come down if you have time, and we brothers will invite you again when you have time. "

Duan Wuji asked with a smile: "Do you want silver or gold?"

The two men thought for a while and said, "I think we still need silver! Our two families are not too rich, so gold is not of much use."

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Then why don't you two hurry to find a carriage? The 10 taels of silver will take a while.

Find a few more people and transport your money away!Our hearts will be at ease after it is transported away. "

Li Jing said to Zhang Mojin: "I said brother, you hurry up and hire ten carriages to come in, let's hurry up and load the money!
The weather is indeed getting late. "

Zhang Gongjin ran out immediately after hearing this, and within a short time, ten carriages were hired back.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu counted out their 10 taels of silver, and everyone worked together, and quickly loaded the silver into the cart.

The two bid farewell to Xiaoyao Wangfu, and happily left with the silver cart.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Brother Tieniu, it's time for the two of us to share the money.

The business was good this time, no matter what, we both made money.

Isn't this selling 480 gold bricks!Why don't we two brothers divide it up, don't we have nine gold bricks left, and the nine gold bricks belong to you, and you will lose nine gold bricks in a while.

Let's split the rest of the money between the brothers. "

Tie Niu laughed when he heard this.

"I said, brother, you can do whatever you say. Isn't it easy to say about this matter?"

Tie Niu said to his three servants: "You guys don't go home yet, hurry up and get that carriage over here!"

As soon as the three servants heard Tieniu's order, they ran out immediately.

It was already dark at this time, and the servants of the family came out with lanterns, and Princess Mingzhu also came out with the child in her arms.

"Bosses, you have worked too hard! It's been a day, and you haven't eaten yet?

The food has already been cooked for you, let's see when you eat! "

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"Don't be in a hurry to eat. We'll finish distributing the money in a while. It's not too late for us to eat again."

Not long after, two carriages rushed over from Tie Niu's house.

Tieniu and Duan Wuji first divided the gold bricks, and then began to divide the silver.

Duan Wuji said to Princess Mingzhu: "Give the child to his grandma to watch over!

You go and open the door of our bank and look inside, and we'll move the silver inside in a while. "

Mingzhu handed the child over to a maidservant who came out and said, "Give the young master to her grandma! We are quite busy here, so I will bring the child back from her after we finish our work. "

The servant girl took the child away, and Princess Mingzhu turned and walked towards the gold and silver warehouse.

Duan Wuji carried his more than 200 pieces of gold bricks and walked straight to the warehouse. After entering the warehouse, Duan Wuji said to Princess Mingzhu: "Lock these gold bricks in a wooden box!
This thing is more expensive, so don't put it outside! "

Princess Mingzhu opened the lid of the wooden box, and Duan Wuji put the gold in.

Duan Wuji walked out of the warehouse, and then began to share the money with Tieniu.

The total amount of the silver was 64 taels, and each person divided 9000 taels.

Duan Wuji ordered the servants to transport the silver into the warehouse, and he watched from the side.

Tie Niu loaded his own silver into the cart, and then transported it back one after another. The silver took three carriages to transport ten times before it was cleared.

After all the money was distributed, it was already midnight.

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu directed the servants to move the remaining Cordyceps into the house, and then these people began to eat.

Tieniu led several servants to eat at Duan Wuji's place.

After eating, it was dawn, and the two families had been busy for a whole day and night.

Both Duan Wuji and Tie Niu are now in a state of fatigue. Both Duan Wuji and Tie Niu have red eyes, obviously staying up late.

Princess Mingzhu glanced at the two of them and said: "There is nothing to do now, I think you can go to rest!"

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"You see, it's clear today, my two brothers didn't go to morning court yesterday, so we two brothers have to go today.

Once the emperor chooses the gift from our brothers, this matter will not be easy to cause trouble.

Besides, don't we still have some Cordyceps left? If the emperor wants it, we can just deal with it for him. "

Princess Mingzhu smiled and said: "I said that the head of the family, this is really a man who died for money, and a bird died for food.

You two work so hard, and it doesn't matter at all! "

Duan Wuji smiled wryly after hearing this.

"I mean Zhu! What can we do if we care!

Isn't it you?How can we find a way to feed you?

Alright, our two brothers went to court early, at noon today, you can cook something delicious for our two brothers!

When we came back at noon today, we brothers had to celebrate whatever we wanted.

After earning so much gold and silver, how can we not celebrate properly? "

Princess Pearl smiled sweetly.

"What's the problem? Don't worry! After you come back at noon, our house will definitely have delicious food.

Since you are going to go early, then hurry up. "

The two walked out of the gate and rushed straight to the imperial city.

The two followed officials at all levels into the palace, and ran straight to the Golden Luan Hall.

After entering the main hall, people lined up and waited quietly for the emperor to come to court.

A eunuch shouted in a shrill voice: "Everyone be quiet, the emperor is coming."

With this too high-pitched voice.The hall suddenly fell silent.

Li Shimin then went to the Golden Palace, and now there is nothing major in the court.

Li Shimin just went to court early as usual, Li Shimin glanced and found that Tieniu and Duan Wuji had come.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "I said Wuji, Tieniu, you went to Tubo this time, and you have done a big deal for me. I heard that you guys hugged grass and beat rabbits, and by the way, you brought a batch of caterpillar fungus from Tubo. , Your recitation of this sutra is really good.

This is really doing things and making money.

Tell me, how much silver did you earn this time? "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "You won't earn much, it's nothing more than a small amount of money to spend.

Do you think we can not do this handy business?
Each of us earns 10 taels, isn't that the entire travel expenses? "

Li Shimin's nose was crooked when he heard this.

"I said brother, you are so arrogant! You make so much money, and you still say you are making travel expenses.

This makes me very envious!

I already told Li Jing yesterday that I asked you to put five hundred catties of caterpillar fungus for me, have you done this? "

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"Five hundred catties of caterpillar fungus is definitely not a problem. We will send it to the palace for you in two days."

"Well, that's about it.

However, I can tell you, don't hack my money!

If you want to blackmail my money, I won't do it! "

Duan Wuji laughed and said, "Second Brother, we are Zhiji's relatives, even if I'm poor, I wouldn't dare blackmail your money.

Besides, I'm not poor now, so how could I earn your ignorant money? "

"Then how much do you plan to sell this Cordyceps to me? Please quote me a price!

Let me hear, is it reasonable? "

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "I said, second brother, how about selling my Cordyceps 260 taels of silver to you?

I believe you can't buy it anywhere at this price? "

Li Shimin laughed out loud.

"Well, that's pretty much the same, buddies, I've already inquired when I got back to the dormitory, the caterpillar fungus in my palace is bought at 580 taels of silver per catty.

Now it can be more than half cheaper, and I can save a lot of money.

I just turned a corner in my head, and the 10,000+ taels of silver came to my hand. "

When all the officials heard this, they all praised Li Shimin for being smart and Duan Wuji for his benevolence!

All these officials are good at flattering, and this random shooting made both of them happy.

After the morning court was over, Tieniu followed Duan Wuji back home.
