Iron blood Suiming

() just sat down, there was a servant girl serving the dishes like flowing water, and in a blink of an eye, it was full of delicacies and wines. Li Jianguo personally held the pot and poured wine for the two of them. three cups.

Pirates A and B have learned the words of Mr. Liu Xiang. They are as good as these old and slippery gentry and businessmen. What a joke, the two pirates also cheered.

After a while, after three rounds of drinking, the two pirates had drunk enough, and if they drank any more, they would pass.Li Jianguo saw that the time was ripe, so he winked. The gentry and businessmen got the signal, and immediately stopped drinking.

Before Pirates A and B woke up, the atmosphere in the hall changed in an instant.I saw that Li Jianguo no longer smiled, and sat on the sidelines drinking wine with a straight face.

Pirate A was dizzy, but he asked with his tongue out in a strange way: "What's wrong with you? And...someone still cries, at this... age, it's not good to cry."

The crying gentry cried even harder when he heard this, tears streaming down his face, he was even more sad than his own father who died.

Pirate B also felt that his brain was not enough, and asked Li Jianguo dizzily, "They... what's wrong?"

Li Jianguo sighed, and said: "They are thinking about the future. They will not be able to eat such food and drink. How can they not make people sad." When he said this, some people cried instead of crying Get up and turn the living room into a mourning hall.

Pirate A wondered: "Who...who doesn't know that you business...people are the richest...money, so you won't be able to eat wine...vegetables?"

Li Jianguo looked embarrassed, and said: "Your masters want too much, even if I go bankrupt, I, Lingshanwei, can't afford it. If all of them are given to your masters, we will have to find a place to hang ourselves."

Immediately, someone slipped to the ground and cried: "It's better to let the old man die now, than nothing at all."

Pirate A and B heard that this was the reason, looked at each other, laughed, and said: "So... so you are crying, you are really... so stupid, it's difficult... don't you know that you can pay... a counter-offer?" ?"

As soon as this remark came out, all the gentry looked at each other, those who were crying stopped crying, and those who were beating their chests stopped their hands. They all gathered together, and one of them laughed and said, "Oh, thank you for reminding me, otherwise the old man will wait for you." You really lost your old life." Others echoed, "Yes, yes, you two are our lifesavers."

One of them took out two 1 taels of bank notes from Nanjing Longchanghe, stuffed them into the hands of the two, and said with a smile: "It's a small thing, it's not a respect, and I hope you two can give me some pointers. This is written by the expensive master." Xin, how should I counter the price?"

Pirates A and B took the banknote and looked at it, and they were startled.Even though the two of them were illiterate, they were serious about Longchang and the leading banknote that was used all over the country, and the 1 taels on it woke them up from their drunkenness.

"This... this... why did you give so much money?" This time it was not a drink talk, but a shock.

A gentry smiled and said: "Please give me more advice. If you are not satisfied, there will be a small gift later."

Pirates A and B looked at each other, and hurriedly stuffed the banknotes into their bosoms, and their hearts were still pounding until they were put away.The gentry and businessmen couldn't help laughing when they saw the demeanor of the two of them.

Laughing so that the two of them blushed from drunkenness, they were also very ashamed, and they also thought in their hearts: "Isn't it 1 taels of silver? If you can help these gentry and merchants get things done, then I’m afraid there will be 10 taels.”

Thinking of this, the two immediately became serious. Seeing that everyone was staring at them, they obviously wanted them to give advice.

Pirate A chuckled and said, "Don't say we two brothers have a lot of eyes, if you give you an idea, don't forget us."

A gentry hurriedly said: "That is, that is, I will never forget your advice. As long as the matter is successful, I will return this number to you." He extended a slap.

When the two of them saw it, they wanted to give 5 taels?Although it was 10 less than [-] taels, it was enough to buy a house and land in Jiangnan, buy a woman and have a son and live happily for a lifetime, and they were not disappointed in their hearts.

Pirate A slapped his thigh and shouted: "Okay, happy, let's make a deal like this. In this way, how much can you pay? Report the number, and I will give you an idea."

A group of gentry and businessmen gathered together and discussed in low voices.Li Jianguo, who had been silent all the time, tried to persuade them to eat food, but not to persuade them to drink, so as not to make the two of them really drunk, and the following things would be difficult.

Not long after, a group of gentry discussed it, and one of them took a list and said: "This is some of my wishes for the filial piety of the noble family. I would like to ask the two of you to take a look." He handed the list to pirates A and B.

Pirate A didn't answer, and said, "The two of us can't read, so you can just read."

A gentry said: "Old man, come and read." Then he took the list and started to read.The list was simple. It said 500 million taels of silver, [-] cannons, [-] muskets, [-] dans of grain, and [-] altars of high-quality vegetable oil.

After reading, the gentry smiled and said: "This vegetable oil is a local specialty, and I hope that the expensive master will accept it."

Pirates A and B opened their eyes wide. The two of them heard it from Liu Xianglao's side. In fact, Liu Xiang only needs to get 300 million taels of silver, ten cannons, and a thousand muskets from Lingshanwei. Oh, what was written in the letter was just the lion's big mouth. I didn't expect that Lingshanwei was so rich.

There are 200 million more silver, [-] more cannons, [-] more muskets, [-] dans of grain, and [-] altars of vegetable oil. This is an overfulfilled task.If you go back and report to the head of the family, if the head of the family is happy, they will not be promoted to the top.

It was almost a grab, Pirate A stretched out his hand to snatch the list, and said: "Okay, my two brothers will help you to make a deal, and we will bring this list to the master, and we will talk back when the time comes." Pirate B stood up and staggered to leave.

The gentry glanced at each other and retreated silently. At this time, their task had been completed, the play was over, and it was none of their business.

Li Jianguo stood up and said with a smile: "Then I won't keep the two of you. In front of Mr. Gui, I hope that you will have a lot of good words. Then I will trouble you to make another trip and explain the delivery date." The place and time. Come here, and send the two distinguished guests aboard."

Li Kaiguo personally sent the two pirates out of the mansion, got into the sedan chair, and went back to the seaside with a whistling sound, and then the drummer returned.

The two pirates took out the banknotes in their arms and looked at them again and again after they were nearly ten miles away from the shore, and they were sure that it was true. They were not dreaming just now. The two cheered on the boat until their ancestors appeared. Dare to show your joy.

The two cheered for a while, and regardless of the fatigue after being drunk, they set up their sails and sailed quickly to Lingshan Island.
