Kai Fu Han

Chapter 58 Buying Coal

Leaving behind three large carts of gifts and taking 250 seven people with him, Liu Xinqi set out on the road back to Qinglinpu.

Wu Hu took his people to go ahead and promised Liu Xinqi before he left that when he returned to Qinglinpu, ten courtyards would be prepared for him. The two of them reached an agreement that they would pay the price for the boat they had robbed in Zhaojia Village. Liu Xinqi agreed to compensate.

In ancient times, information spread among civilians very slowly, so for a businessman, reputation was very important. The ship Wu Hu sold must not be forcibly taken back, otherwise he would not be able to sell anything again in the future.

This limitation also exists for Liu Xinqi. Some of the rescued Zhaojiacun people recognized Wu Hu and knew that he was an enemy, but Liu Xinqi could not immediately help them avenge because Liu Xinqi and Wu Hu also reached an agreement.

If Liu Xinqi only intends to maintain the current power and make small troubles, of course he can do whatever he wants, and his words don't count.But he has his own revenge and ideals, so this time Wuhu spent money to redeem the villagers who had been sold before and paid compensation, so he can only bear it.

In the final analysis, it is still the same saying, "the weak eat the strong".Without Liu Xinqi, it is estimated that there would not even be 100 people alive in Zhaojiacun.

On the way back, most of the people were old and weak, and the march was slow. Liu Xinqi arranged to rest for one night in Zhuqiao Town, and returned to Qinglinpu the next day at the end of November [-]th.

The Zhaojia villagers on the boat were very excited when they met these rescued people. They seemed to have endless things to talk about when they gathered together. Some people laughed and some cried.

Time was running out, and Liu Xinqi did not give these villagers more time to be gentle. After waiting for half an hour, Liu Xinqi arranged for Zhao Liang to organize these Zhaojia Villagers to swear to join Liujiapu.

"I, so-and-so, voluntarily join Liujiapu. With the emperor and heaven above and the earth below, I swear to the ancestors of Liujiapu that from now on I will love each other, be loyal to the family, abide by the clan rules, work together, be diligent and frugal, Be kind to others.”

Zhao Liang led his clan members to undergo the oath-taking procedure in front of Liu Xinqi, and Liu Xinqi immediately received a system prompt.

system hint:

New tribe members: 257
Increased power: 257, remaining 1190
Fame increased: 257, remaining 302
Liu Xinqi opened the system to view the "Internal Affairs" attribute

Domestic affairs
Power: 1190
Fame: 302
Martial arts: 89
Wu Xun increased by 77 points, which was increased from the previous battle with the Wu family at Qinglinpu Port.You can recruit three general cards again. As usual, you can draw cards directly without any delay.

Open the recruiting page.

Select "Recruit 3 times", the reputation is -300, and the remaining reputation is 2.

A flash of light flashed, and a row of three general cards popped up. This time, I was lucky. There was a two-star general card "Han Soldier Cavalry", and the other two one-star general cards were both "Han Officer Soldier Bow".

Counting the 250 seven people from Zhaojiacun who were rescued this time, the number of people in Liujiabao who were originally from Zhaojiacun has exceeded 300, and is almost reaching 400. Their strength cannot be underestimated, and measures must be taken to better control them.

"Zhao Liang, come with me."

Taking Zhao Liang to a deserted open space, Liu Xinqi said to him:

"You have been in Liujiabao for a long time, you should have heard about my immortality skills?"

"Is the patriarch planning to cast a spell on me? Can I do it too?" Zhao Liang was very excited after hearing Liu Xinqi's question, because so far, all those who have received the spell are people from the original Liu Family Fort, even if there are some who are not named Liu. Those who are not related to Liu Xinqi, or married into the Liu Family Fort.

"Yes, but I'm going to say something ugly first. If you receive the immortal spell, you will have to obey my orders from now on. In other words, if you are affected by the immortal spell, even if you don't want to in your heart, you will still not feel free to carry out my orders. Do you understand the order?" "I understand, I understand. I am willing to accept the law. Without the clan leader, Zhaojia Village would have been slaughtered long ago. Now we can save more than 300 people, and the clan leader has avenged us. I am already very satisfied. . From now on, my life belongs to the clan leader and to Liu Jiabao." Zhao Liang agreed directly without hesitation.

"That's good, I promise you, if Wu Hu falls into our hands again in the future, I will definitely let you kill the enemy with your own hands." After saying that, Liu Xinqi called out a one-star general card "Han Officers and Soldiers Bow" and slapped it on Zhao Liang on the shoulders.Then view the properties:
Name: Zhao Liang

Nationality: Han
Age: 34
Relationship: ally

Attack: 11+40
Defense: 11+30
Strategies: 9
Speed: 9+30
He explained to Zhao Liang some of the changes that would occur after being cast on the immortal spell, and then called Liu Xin'ang and asked him to take Zhao Liang to familiarize himself with the increased attributes.

November has already passed, and Liu Xinqi did not dare to delay at Qinglinpu any longer. If he delayed any longer, it would probably be spring by the time he bought the charcoal and returned to Dengzhou.

Arrange for Liu Xin'ang to lead a team of soldiers and Zhao Liang to hand over ten yards with Wu Hu, and then arrange for the people of Zhaojia Village who were rescued this time to rest in Qinglinpu.After accepting the 1000 and two hundred taels of silver as compensation from Wu Hu, Liu Xinqi led others and four boats to hurriedly sail towards Laizhou Gang.

Qinglinpu is very close to Laizhou Port, with less than [-] miles of sea route. It starts at Shen time, takes an hour, and arrives at You time.

The cost of docking at Laizhou Port was not more than that of Qinglinpu. I think the people who came to Qinglinpu were slaughtered when they saw Liu Xinqi and others.

A ship weighing less than [-] shi is worth one tael of silver per day at Laizhou Port, and a ship weighing less than [-] shi is worth [-] taels of silver per day.

After paying the money and docking, Liu Xinbao was already waiting on the shore.

"There are several shops selling coal at the dock. There will be discounts for large quantities. It is estimated that long-term cooperation will be cheaper." After Liu Xinqi got off the ship, Liu Xinbao came forward to report.

"What are the prices?" Liu Xinqi asked
"Buy it in the store, one stone costs about [-] cents. There are good and bad charcoals, some are resistant to burning and some are not, some are smokey and some are smokey, and the prices are different." Liu Xinbao replied.

"Take me to see some of the ones you are more optimistic about." Liu Xinqi said.

"Okay, I found the biggest ones." After Liu Xinbao finished speaking, he led the way.

Guofu County in Laizhou is called Ye County. Most of the people doing business in Laizhou Port are gentry and big businessmen from Ye County. The Su family, Zhang family, Li family and Liu family are the ones doing the biggest coal business.

The price of Liu Xinqi's family, Liu's family, was not affordable and was not adopted by Liu Xinqi. After negotiating prices and comparing quality among the three families of Su's, Zhang's and Li's, it was determined that Su's and Zhang's would be the two long-term partners.

At the beginning of the negotiation, the price was still under eighteen cents, but after Liu Xinqi put 1000 taels of silver on the table, the negotiation became much easier.

The quality of the coal that the two companies can provide in large quantities is basically the same, and the price is also the same. If Liu Xinqi purchases more than [-] shi in a year, the export price to Liu Xinqi can be one stone and fifteen cents, and they are responsible for the tax.

After the negotiation was completed, the three families found a dental bank as a guarantee and signed a contract with each other. Liu Xinqi promised to pay the Su and Zhang families 1 taels of silver to buy coal at a silver-to-money ratio of 1400:100. Guarantee, and then the two companies would give Liu Xinqi a one-month accounting period, and he would settle the last month's coal charges before the fifth day of each month.In this way, there will be no need to pay money every time the coal is transported, which will facilitate Liu Xinqi's management.

After signing the contract, the sky had already darkened. After declining the invitations from the two families, Liu Xinqi took the people back to the ship to rest.
