Summon civilian system

Chapter 329

Li Lin quickly followed the guards to the inside of the town.

After walking for about a few minutes, I arrived at the side of the town. It is not a town, but a very wealthy village. Every house is made of wood. It seems that the construction is very neat and tidy. 2 One or three storeys high, next to the house is a large field with crops growing in it, and it looks like it is growing well, and it is estimated that it will be another bumper harvest year.

A series of relatively wide roads are connected in series at the door of each house, forming a complex road, extending in all directions. From any direction, you can go around to your destination. There are many pedestrians passing by on the road, some walking slowly. , some in a hurry.

But these passers-by all had a characteristic. After seeing this guard A, they all nodded and bowed, pretending to be like grandsons, and some even gave Li Lin a pitiful look.

Soon, guard A, Li Lin and others were already standing under the signboard of a rice shop.

"My lord, this is the only rice shop in this town." After the guard finished speaking, he pointed to the sign above, and said, "All the vendors passing by buy here."

After finishing speaking, he shouted into the inside: "Xiao Mian, come out to pick up the guests soon."

"Okay." A loud voice sounded inside, and after a while, I saw a refined man trotting out from the inside, with a handkerchief hanging on his head, his hair and handkerchief were wet: "My lords , I just washed my hair inside, so it’s a bit late, don’t be angry.”

"This is a big customer, you have to be careful, food is cheaper for my sake, if you cheat him, I can't spare you."

"Oh, how dare I accept it."

Then Xiaomian walked to Li Lin's side, looked up and down, and found that Li Lin was wearing very good clothes, and then said: "My lord, I don't know what to write?"

Li Lin didn't speak, but Gong Er said, "My lord's army has no rice to cook. Here are 400 bags of rice, and we are going to take them on the road to eat."

Xiaomian said with a bitter face after hearing this: "Oh, my lord, we don't have so many here. It's a small business, how can there be hundreds of bags?"

"Then how much do you have?" After Li Lin finished speaking, he took a look inside the shop and found that the shop was extremely clean, not to mention food, there was nothing there.

Xiaomian said, "There are only 50 bags, and 20 of them are old rice from last year. Do you want it?"

Li Lin asked, "How much?"

Xiao Mian said: "Not expensive, 40 copper coins for new rice, 20 copper coins for old rice."

Li Lin did the math, because there was only rice and no meat, and because they were all soldiers, the physical exertion was huge. Under normal circumstances, a bag of rice could feed more than 2 people. In this case, it is estimated that 100 people can eat it, thank God Well, this meal will consume at least 10 bags of rice, and only 50 bags will last until the day after tomorrow.

"Forget it, drink rice soup first these days instead of rice."

While Li Lin was thinking, Gong Yi asked, "Boy, let me ask you, do you have anything else besides rice?"

Xiaomian said, "I'm a rice shop here, of course there's only rice."

"Then why did you ask for something just now?"

"Hey." Xiao Mian said with a smile, "Just say it casually."

"Did you trick us?"

Xiao Mian hurriedly said: "How dare I cheat you military masters. A full meal outside is only 2 copper coins. I can make more than 2 servings with this bag of rice. If I open a shop in the capital, a bag of rice Rice can be exchanged for 4 silver coins, the price is already very fair.”

Gong Er said, "Then why don't you go into business?"

Xiao Mian said awkwardly: "I'm not from Wangdu, don't let me go."

"Okay." Li Lin waved his hand, and he didn't want to make a price for such a small amount of money, so he said, "I want the 50 bags, can I send them?"

Xiao Mian said happily: "My lord, I can send you to the city gate, and I won't send you any farther away."

"Ok."

Xiao Mian happily walked into the house and shouted loudly: "Brothers are working."

I saw more than 10 men came out, each of them carried a bag of rice, and then put it on the ground fiercely. After a while, a hill was piled up, and then the men walked to Li Lin's side one by one. .

Xiao Mian said, "My lord, let's pay the bill first."

"Hey, you, you want money before you finish your job?" Worker Two said with a displeased face, "I'll give you money when you bring it over."

Xiao Mian pointed to these men, and said, "My lord, I have no money. I need to pay them wages so that they are willing to work. Otherwise, this thing can't be transported."

Li Lin took a look at them, and found that they were all dressed as coolies, and they should be the poor people around them, but the only thing that caught Li Lin's attention was that these guys were all carrying weapons, but he didn't think much about it. There are also quite a few civilians carrying weapons in Giya City, so they said, "How much money, I will give it now."

"Okay." Xiao Mian stretched out his hand and said, "1 gold coins, sir, please pay the bill."

Li Lin wondered if his ears had misheard, so he asked, "1 gold coins???"

"Yes, ten thousand gold coins."

Gong Yi scolded angrily: "Didn't you agree to pay 40 for the new one and 20 for the old one? How could it be 1 gold coins?"

Xiaomian showed a mocking smile, and he stood up straight, not like a grandson who had been bending over before, only to see him say: "Guys, if you want to blame, it's because you didn't hear clearly. What I said is , The new grain of this rice is 40 copper coins, and the old one is 20 copper coins. This hill is as high as a hill, and it is estimated to cost 10. I even gave you a discount."

"Don't be ignorant."

After saying this, the dozen or so men around drew out their weapons, with fierce expressions on their faces.

The guard next to him also said: "Masters, since the price has been negotiated, then give the money. If you don't give the money, it will cause trouble again. I will let the brothers arrest you."

At this time, everyone in Li Lin understood that this was a blatant blackmail.

So Li Lin said: "Then I don't want it?"

Xiaomian had a mocking expression on his face, and then said: "No? Yes, you can pay 2 errand fees, and the embargo is very laborious."

At this time, the guard saw that Li Lin and the others had no intention of giving money, so he said, "My lords, once I send out this signal, after being arrested, it will not be solved by 1 or 2 yuan. Think about it." After speaking, he took out a flare, the threat was obvious.

The men around began to gear up one by one, with threatening expressions on their faces.

"My lord, do you want to do it?"
