Eternal traitor

Chapter 38 5000 taels of silver

"Get up, everyone is gone."

The old master sitting in the main seat smiled and stroked the beard of his chin. There was a little smile on his wrinkled face, but a pair of cloudy eyes revealed a trace of clarity when he was talking. He is nearly 60 years old. Looks like an 80 year old man.

The old Hou Ye's name is Yinghui, he is the younger brother of King Qin Xiaowen. In terms of seniority, even the current King Qin has to be called Zhongfu.It's just that because he made a big mistake back then, he was removed from all positions by King Qin Xiaowen, and even sent someone to imprison him.

As for what the old Hou Ye did to make King Qin Xiaowen so furious, some old officials recalled that it was because of "rebellion". He spared his life in anger.

However, the crimes of the year were not announced to the outside world, only that the old Hou Ye voluntarily gave up his fief and stayed in the capital of King Qin.

"Thank you Shu Hou."

Li Hua stood up, bowed his head without saying a word, and didn't even show a trace of expression.Li Hua knew that even though he was an adult in his heart, this little trick could not even fool the ten-year-old Cheng Qiao, let alone the old fox present.

Although the old Hou Ye in front of him didn't say anything, it didn't mean he could just watch him bully Cheng Qiao like this. There is a saying that blood is thicker than water.After all, he is a relative of the emperor. Although Cheng Qiao is a bit wrong, it seems a little too much for you, an ordinary person, to bully the relatives of the emperor.

"You can be considered a character, but cleverness doesn't last long."

Sure enough, as soon as Li Huagan got up, someone stood up and challenged Li Hua.This time the character is the younger brother of the current king of Qin, Anyang Jun Yingchang.Today's King Qin is just a king, and has not yet proclaimed himself emperor, so the biggest title is Lord Hou. Now this younger brother who is not highly valued is just an idle royal family and aristocrat with no status. Monthly money and rent are living a miserable life.

"Thank you, Mr. Anyang, for your guidance, the boy understands."

Li Hua had figured out the identities, status, and dispositions of these people beforehand.Therefore, he knows who can be offended, who can't be offended, who can't be offended, and who can't be offended.

For example, Cheng Qiao, who was fighting with Ying Zheng for the throne, the more Li Hua offended him, the closer he would be to Ying Zheng.At this time, Mr. Anyang, who is in trouble, is an abandoned waste, and he will not be offended if he can not be offended.After all, he is also a relative of the emperor, so there is no need to do stupid things just to show off for a while.

"Ahem, let's get back to business. Shopkeeper Li, my 5000 taels of silver have already been sent. The green leopard carriage made in your shop is indeed amazing, and it is also worth the money. I came here in person today to ask for something. , I wonder if shopkeeper Li can listen to it??"

Lu Buwei coughed dryly twice, as if he didn't want to continue the topic, he stood up and smoothed things over, and talked to Li Hua about the 5000 taels of silver with a smile.And as soon as this topic came up, the eyes of other people changed instantly. You must know that the price of the second-class carriage of "Baimao United" is ten thousand taels of silver.But after Lu Buwei got the carriage, he only gave 5000 taels of silver? ?How could they not be tempted by such an ordinary price difference?
"Prime Minister Lu is being polite, the villain will definitely listen to you."

A humble smile appeared on Li Hua's face again, and he spoke more cautiously. Although he didn't know why Lu Buwei came here in person, and seemed to be helping him, Li Hua was still alert in his heart.

"I have some friendship with your master. You also know that although we have some identities, we have a lot of servants in the family, and the consumption is naturally not a small amount. Therefore, I want to be a middleman and let you give the same conditions to all the adults here. , how about buying a green leopard carriage?"

Lu Buwei's words deeply touched the hearts of these people. Originally, these people were going to take advantage of the fire to ask for a carriage for free, but now Cheng Qiao has "full money" bought one. Meaning.

Now, Lu Buwei has stated a condition that they can bear. Although 5000 taels of silver is not a lot, it is also half of it. It just depends on how the young man in front of him will answer.

"this··············"

Li Hua pretended to be entangled, and then his brain turned rapidly. They sent Lu Buwei's carriage there for free. As for the deal between Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei, he didn't know at all, or was it just Lu Buwei's temporary idea?
Li Hua, who didn't receive any news, could only quickly deduce that 5000 taels of silver was equivalent to half the price of the Qingbao carriage, and Lu Buwei seemed to want to help him, so how should he answer if he didn't know what Lu Buwei meant? ?

In five seconds, Li Hua thought a lot. He also looked at Lu Buwei, but the middle-aged man didn't give him any hints.In desperation, Li Hua could only say something he didn't understand, "Prime Minister Lu, you also know that our first-class carriages and second-class carriages don't make money. Horse carriages are also handled with special means, and it costs a lot of money. It is really difficult for us to implement the same concession for so many people."

How much does this carriage cost?Li Hua knows better than anyone else that a second-class carriage will not cost more than 500 taels except for decoration, and the cost price will not exceed 500 taels with gorgeous decorations. Even if it is sold for 5000 taels of silver, it can Let "Baimao United" earn a lot of platinum dollars.However, the price of this carriage is 1 taels of silver. Once the price of 5000 taels is opened, the internal price will be directly locked.

The buyers of the second-class carriages were all nobles and big figures in the court, and everyone was well-informed.So why do you sell other people 5000 taels, but sell me 1 taels? ?Are you looking down on me?Once this happens, it is a bit embarrassing.

Although Lu Buwei has some intentions to help himself, he does not rule out the suspicion of causing trouble. The 1 taels of silver is the price set by Li Hua. Once it is revised, there may be many variables involved.It may even affect the price of other classes of carriages.

Therefore, without being absolutely sure, Li Hua still couldn't change his words easily, even if Lu Buwei said that he had some friendship with Ying Zheng, it would be the same.
