I raise dragons in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 48 Boxes and Carts

Zhang Yihuai carried the imperial list, which was a voucher, so he couldn't lose it, for fear that people would turn their backs and refuse to accept it.

Xiao Jinlong wondered why Zhang Yi went to the market instead of hunting horse thieves outside the city.

This market is all-encompassing and has everything.

And he went directly to a place that sold box woodwork, because he had already figured out what to do, these horse thieves were elusive, if he wanted to catch them, he had to lure them out, and he knew how to lure them out.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell such a big box?"

At this time, a middle-aged man came out of the store. He was a little thin but very energetic. This man saw Zhang Yi pointing to a box that was one meter square and asked.

The shopkeeper glanced at Zhang Yi, he was a child, so he couldn't help but ask, he was afraid that Zhang Yi came here to inquire about the price on purpose.

"Brother, what are you here for?"

The man looked at Zhang Yi again, he was very thinly dressed, but as a businessman, he knew that the same rice feeds all kinds of people, and each person cannot be underestimated, don't look at some people's clothes, sometimes the clothes are not enough Represents his status and wealth.

And the man was polite to Zhang Yi. The so-called open door for business was nothing more than that.

"I want to pack something, store, and you haven't told me how it sells?"

The man said, "One box is fifty dollars."

Zhang Yi didn't bargain because the box was strong enough.

"Okay, I want twenty!"

The man was startled, he must be thinking in his heart, what does this little brother need so many boxes for.But I didn't ask any more questions. Some things are private, and if I ask more questions, the business may be ruined.

"Brother, I don't have so many in my store at the moment. I need to transfer the goods. Are you sure you want so many?"

"It's okay, when can I call you?"

Zhang Yi was very efficient in doing things, without any ambiguity, and from his expression, he didn't look like a person who cheated the shopkeeper.

The man's attitude became better, because Zhang Yi can be said to be a big customer at this time.

"It only takes half a stick of incense time."

"Good! Do you have carts? I want ten."

When the man heard this, he thought to himself, today is really a big opening.

"Yes, yes, one hundred dollars each! I happen to have them in my store!"

"Okay, how about this, I'll give you two and a half slings, and you help me fill these twenty boxes with half a box of stones, and push them here! How about it?"

Only then did the man understand that it turned out that Zhang Yi took so many boxes to hold the stones, and he didn't ask too much about what the stones were for. Zhang Yi must have his own ideas in doing so.

Zhang Yi said again: "Also, the paint surface of this box must be good!"

"to make!"

"I don't have that much money with me right now. I'll pay you a penny first. After you finish it, I'll come to pick it up. How about paying the rest?"

Zhang Yi was willing to put down the deposit, and he had already shown enough sincerity. The man had a business, so of course it was agreed.

"of course can!"

After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he took out a sling and put it in the man's hand. After the man took it, Zhang Yi asked again: "Shopkeeper, do you know where to hire labor?"

"I know. If you walk along the market, there are many people waiting to be hired. They are all skilled laborers."

The man spoke in great detail, and in his heart he must have thought that this person should not be judged by his appearance, so he must be Zhang Yi.Even though he is very ordinary in clothes, he can pay two and a half dollars at once to buy some ostentatious things. This piece of clothing may be a servant of a rich family, or a housekeeper or something, otherwise how could he be so valuable? money.

Zhang Yi bid farewell to the store, and headed towards the direction he pointed. When he passed by a commercial store, he exchanged ten tang coins from it, which was exactly [-] coins.

Then he walked in the direction pointed by the shopkeeper.

In this entire market, there are a lot of strange people, but these people are running around for a living, as long as they can support their families, as long as they are not hurtful, they will do anything.

Zhang Yi walked among a group of people and looked at these people. They were not dressed much more than him in the winter. These people were shivering in the cold winter.

These people are coolies, there are about [-] people, but whenever someone needs laborers, they will pick them up.This meeting everyone is getting together and chatting.

These people didn't show any special emotion for Zhang Yi's arrival, probably because they were used to seeing people coming and going.

Zhang Yi shouted casually:
"I need 20 people! Be strong and strong!"

With this shout, the listless people immediately jumped up,
"I"

"I"

……

These fifty people volunteered to stand up.

At this time, Zhang Yi chose a relatively strong man who looked like an old man.

"How much do you pay per person per day?"

The man said: "Thirty yuan a day, work from morning to night!"

"Well, I'll give you fifty dollars. How about choosing 20 of you?"

He knows that it is not easy for these people, because he was also a farmer. These migrant workers rely on their own physical strength to do the most tiring work and earn the lowest wages.

After the sound fell, everyone showed excited expressions, as if they would be selected directly. These people are extraordinarily simple, even if they are not selected by themselves, but their friends are selected, they are also happy.

They also believe in Zhang Yi's words. They are not like some people who doubt, and they seem to have seen too many people like Zhang Yi. People who pay more than half of the money will not appear, and they will often let their housekeeper , or servants come out to do the work.

They regarded Zhang Yi as a servant of a certain son.

And since Zhang Yi had said everything, 20 people were selected from among them, so these people stood still.Waiting for Zhang Yi to choose.

"You, you, you... and you!"

Zhang Yi was fairly accurate in judging people, and quickly selected 20 people.

"All 20 of you come out."

The 20 people walked out.

Someone asked: "Little brother, I don't know what you want us to do?"

"What I want you to do is very simple. This afternoon, you follow me and send a batch of goods to a place twenty miles north of the city."

Shipping goods is obviously much better than doing coolies, and you can get fifty coins, which is better than anything else.Some people who were not selected felt a trace of loneliness from their faces.

The goods he was referring to were those boxes, and it was now very obvious that he wanted to use these boxes to lure horse thieves to appear.

He wanted to conceal himself as a caravan, transporting a large amount of "money" to a place twenty miles north of the city.When he left the north gate, he would definitely let the horse thief's insider find out and go to report, and what he had to do was wait for their appearance.

At this time, Xiao Jinlong seemed to understand what Zhang Yi wanted to do, and it immediately made a gesture of "I understand".It made Zhang Yi want to laugh but dare not laugh.
