Daily life in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 45
"What shall we do next?"

Zhang Liang is obviously not a person who likes to shirk responsibility. Compared with looking for responsibility, he is more inclined to find solutions to problems.

"Perhaps we should take back part of the relief food first. If we add the [-] hu of food, we can at least fill in the holes in the looted army food." Zi Nu thought for a while and said slowly.

But as soon as her words fell, Han Fei in the corner interrupted without hesitation: "No, the previous [-] hu rations are just a drop in the bucket. If [-] hu is taken back now, it will definitely damage the hearts of the people of Nanyang." Huge blow. Not to mention..."

Having said that, Han Fei paused for a moment, and after glancing at Zi Nu, he continued, "Don't forget, we still have a game with Jade Tiger."

Han Fei and Emerald Tiger once made a ten-day bet. With the Jagged Alliance as a guarantee, Emerald Tiger bet [-] gold, betting that Han Fei would not be able to suppress the price of food within ten days.

Afterwards, as the game expanded, Emerald Tiger bet on Han Fei's life by betting on all of his property.

In other words.

Looting rations is a capital offense.

But once the bet was lost, Han Fei would still die.

"Then what should we do now? The period of the bet is approaching. If the price of food cannot be kept down as promised, not to mention the crime of looting the army food, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to resist the Jagged Alliance alone."

The young Zhang Liang was a little unsteady, so he seemed most anxious at the moment.

In contrast.

Han Fei and Wei Zhuang on the side were much calmer.

Mount Tai collapsed in front without changing its color.

This sentence is easy to say, but there are only a handful of people who can really do it.

Han Fei rubbed his chin and said in thought: "Now all the layouts have been completed, the gears have all been fitted, and there is only one grain short, as the last power..."

But the question is, where should he get this last grain?
"If it's just food, there's one person who might help us."

Just when everyone was at a loss, a figure suddenly appeared in Zi Nu's mind, and she spoke slowly.

"Who?"

The rest of the people cast their gazes one after another.

Zi Nu didn't answer right away, but looked at Wei Zhuang and Zhang Liang and said, "Do you think a businessman will take action if he has obtained business information in advance?"

When Wei Zhuang and Zhang Liang heard the words, a figure immediately appeared in their minds: "The person you are talking about... is he?"

······
Inside the inn.

Mo Jun is brewing a pot of tea comfortably.

This pot of tea is not for himself, but for the coming guests.

"Knock knock kow~~~"

The tea boiled, and at the same time as a wisp of fragrance escaped, there was a knock on the door.

"coming!"

There was a warm smile on the corner of Mo Jun's mouth, he came to the door and pushed the door open.

Unsurprisingly.

The figures that appeared outside the door were Han Fei, Zi Nu, Wei Zhuang, and Zhang Liang.

"What are the four of you doing?"

"Han Fei, I met Mr. Shi."

The trip of the four of them was obviously focused on Han Fei. When Mo Jun opened the door, Han Fei arched his hands first.

Mo Jun returned a salute and said, "So it's the Ninth Young Master. I wonder if the Ninth Young Master came to the door in person. What's the matter?"

Han Fei said: "Han Fei is here to do business with Mr. Shi."

Mo Jun squinted his eyes and said, "I don't know what kind of business the Ninth Young Master wants to do with you?"

Han Fei said: "Han Fei wants to buy a batch of grain from Mr. Shi, a large amount of grain."

When Mo Jun heard the words, he immediately showed a smile, and said: "It's a coincidence that the Ninth Young Master came here, and there is really a batch of grain waiting to be sold in the hands of the servants, please come in quickly."

With that said, Mo Jun stepped aside and invited the four of them into the room.

After entering the room.

Han Fei first noticed the teapot being cooked on the table, and his eyes narrowed.

"How much food does Jiu Gongzi plan to buy?"

"[-] hu, I wonder if Mr. Shi can prepare it?"

Han Fei and the others obviously had already calculated their needs, so when Mo Jun asked, Zhang Liang replied directly.

Mo Jun paused slightly for the hand that was pouring tea for the four of them, and then said: "Fifteen thousand hu, this is not a small amount... But it just so happens that I have a batch of grain in my hand, maybe it can really be done." Meet the needs of several people."

"really?"

This statement came out.

In Zhang Liang's and Zi Nu's eyes, there was a hint of undetectable joy.

To be honest, before that, they did guess that Mo Jun would probably prepare a batch of grain and sell it on a large scale during the disaster in Nanyang.

But [-] hu grains are not something an ordinary small caravan can afford.

Mo Jun smiled and said: "Hehe~~ It's a coincidence, with the strength of the caravan, I couldn't raise so much food, but fortunately, I got the news in a timely manner, so there is a business company that is willing to reach a temporary agreement with me. cooperate."

"I don't know what price Jiu Gongzi plans to pay for this batch of grain?"

"What price does Mr. Shi plan to offer?" Han Fei said
"The price of food in Xinzheng has now risen to three and a half gold, but since the ninth son is buying in large quantities this time, I will naturally give a little discount."

Mojun held his teacup, and after pretending to think for a while, he said, "Let's do it! Two golds and one dendrobium, what do you think of this price, Mr. Jiu?"

When Han Fei heard the words, his eyes froze immediately, and he said, "Mr. Shi's bid is not sincere!"

Mo Jun smiled and said, "Oh? Then I wonder how much "sincerity" the Ninth Young Master thinks it should be?"

Han Fei replied: "It is said that the last time Mr. Shi sold grain, the price was set at one gold and one dendrobium. I think that my status is not inferior to that of the previous one, right? Shouldn't Mr. Shi be fair when doing business?"

Mo Jundao: "What does the Ninth Young Master mean?"

Han Fei said: "One gold and one dendrobium, Mr. Shi thinks the price is like..."

Before Han Fei finished speaking, Mo Jun said decisively: "Deal!"

Han Fei: "..."

Oops.

The asking price was raised.

Looking at 'Mr. Shi' who was drinking tea and looking at him with a smile on his face, Han Fei didn't know that he had been cheated.

But Han Fei was Han Fei after all, and he quickly regained his composure and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Shi."

"What? Is Ninth Young Master planning to go back on his word?"

"Of course not, a gentleman promises a thousand gold, Han Fei still has some integrity..." At this point, Han Fei paused slightly, and then said: "It's just that Han Fei has a small favor to ask Mr. Shi Help me out."

"What's the matter?"

Han Fei's eyes flashed, and he said: "It's very simple. When Han Fei wants Mr. Shi to transport grain to Xinzheng, he'd better use his reputation as a businessman from Qin to enter the city with great fanfare..."
