Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

After Lin Changshi sent someone to invite the local wealthy merchants, Zhang Dun asked curiously, "Lin Changshi, why don't you see the chief manager of the chief manager's mansion?"

Lin Changshi explained patiently: "Recently, there has been some movement on the Turkic side, and General Manager You led the troops there."

Zhang Dun suddenly realized that the south of the Hebei Road was facing the Turks, and the Turks made a move, and the local chief led the soldiers and horses in the area. If they didn't move, it would be abnormal.

About half an hour later, footsteps sounded outside the lobby of the government office.

A dozen or so middle-aged men dressed as wealthy merchants walked in with solemn expressions.

"Greetings to Lin Changshi, and three imperial envoys."

They first bowed their hands to Lin Mo, and then bowed their hands to Zhang Dun and the others.

After Lin Changshi returned the salute, he spread his palms to let them all sit down, and then looked at Zhang Dun.

Zhang Dun stood up with a smile, pointed at Du Yan and Changsun Wuji, and said:

"Everyone, the three of us came from Hedong Road. You should have heard of the disaster in Hedong Road, right?"

The leading merchant hurriedly said: "Of course I heard about it."

Another middle-aged man said solemnly: "If there is anything we can help, the three imperial envoys just ask."

"So good."

Zhang Dun nodded slightly, then winked at Han Xing and Wang Feng who were standing outside the lobby of the government office.

Soon, Han Xing and Wang Feng brought in eight government soldiers and brought in ten kinds of bamboo utensils.

"Look at these things."

Zhang Dun pointed to things and said, "These are all bamboo furniture, including bamboo stools, bamboo chairs, bamboo beds, bamboo combs..."

Without waiting for the rich merchants to speak, Zhang Dun looked at Han Xing and Wang Feng and said, "Give them the things and let them try."

Han Xing and Wang Feng clasped their fists to promise, and put the things beside the rich merchants.

A dozen wealthy merchants looked at each other in blank dismay, and soon they stood up and tried the bamboo tools curiously.

"This bamboo stool...is more comfortable than a wooden stool."

"Bamboo chairs look better to me, more comfortable than bamboo stools."

"This bamboo bed is also good!"

"The comb is also very good..."

More than a dozen wealthy merchants were discussing in low voices while playing with bamboo tools.

"How do you feel about things?"

At this moment, Zhang Dun's voice reached everyone's ears.

The leader of the rich merchant hurriedly stood up from the bamboo chair, bowed and cupped his hands and said, "So that Zhang Shaoyin will know that these things are very good."

"If you think it's good, that's fine."

Zhang Dun said with a smile: "I want to do business with you. This time we came from Hedong Road and brought a total of ten kinds of bamboo utensils, a total of 20 pieces. If you like it and think this is an opportunity to make a fortune, then let's There is something to talk about."

"This……"

The leading merchant hesitated for a moment, looked back at the other wealthy merchants, then looked at Zhang Dun seriously and said, "I want Zhang Shaoyin to know that things are good things, but we haven't been able to pay for them recently."

Hearing this, Zhang Dun narrowed his eyes and looked at them.

Du Yan and Changsun Wuji also frowned.

"Lin Changshi, they say they can't afford the money, do you believe it?"

After a long time, the corners of Zhang Dun's mouth curled up slightly, and he tilted his head to look at Shi Linmo, the governor of Weizhou who was sitting next to him, with a smile on his face.

Lin Mo's face was a little unhappy, and he said in an unhappy tone:

"Everyone, Zhang Shaoyin only brought 20 pieces of bamboo furniture! You have seen it, tried it, and even you all said it was good. These things should not worry about selling."

"Besides, these things don't cost much, so why do you want to excuse yourself because you don't have money? You have a big business in Guixiang County. Isn't it a joke to say that you don't have money?"

The leader of the rich merchant smiled wryly and said: "To tell the truth, Lin Changshi, I really don't have any money. Recently, I bought all the money I have cash."

Other wealthy merchants quickly echoed:

"It's the same below."

"I will never dare to lie to the three imperial envoys. It is true because they have all bought goods. If the three imperial envoys are not in a hurry, when all the goods in our hands are sold out and we have cash, we will definitely sell the bamboo tools in the hands of the three imperial envoys." Buy them all!"

Lin Changshi frowned and looked at Zhang Dun with some embarrassment.

Chapter 269 If You Can’t Find a Buyer, Create a Buyer

These people are determined not to pay, and he has no choice.

The smile on Zhang Dun's face remained undiminished, and he nodded slightly: "Understood, since this is the case, you should go back first."

The rich merchants breathed a sigh of relief, stood up one after another, cupped their hands and said, "I will take my leave."

"Zhang Shaoyin, there is something wrong with their attitude just now."

After they left, Du Yan said in a cold voice, "If you guessed right, these people should be acquainted with the Chen family in Jinyang County and those noble gentry, and they have been informed in advance."

Changsun Wuji nodded in agreement and said, "No wonder the Chen family and those gentry in Jinyang County haven't made any movement recently, so they're holding back their troubles here."

As he said that, he looked at Zhang Dun and said, "Zhang Shaoyin, things are a bit difficult."

Zhang Dun hummed, and things were indeed beyond his expectation.

The influence of the Chen family on Hedong Road, hundreds of miles away, and those noble gentry was stronger than he thought.

He was able to persuade the rich merchants in Hebei Daozhi Office not to accept the 20 pieces of bamboo furniture he brought.

Now the channel of Hebei Road is blocked.

You can only find another way.

Zhang Dun thought for a while and couldn't help shaking his head secretly. If he found another way, he could only turn around and go to Guan Nei Dao.

Let's not talk about the Guanneidao side, whether the Chen family and the wealthy gentry have already gotten along with them.

Just going back and forth this time takes a lot of time.

He can afford to wait, but the victims of the disaster in Hedong Road may not be able to wait.

it looks like...

Zhang Dun narrowed his eyes, and the bamboo tools he brought could only be sold in Hebei Road.

Moreover, it must be sold to bring the money back to Hedong Road!

I have to figure out a way!

Those wealthy businessmen don't want it, someone will want it!

If you still can't find a buyer, create a buyer!

As long as the mind does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties!

"Du Gong, Changsun Gong, Zhang Shaoyin, the situation has become such a mess, and the humble staff can't help it."

At this moment, Lin Changshi's voice suddenly sounded.

Zhang Dun came back to his senses, seeing Lin Changshi's apologetic expression, he waved his hands and said, "It's already a great help for Lin Changshi to help us call them over."

"The rest, we can handle it ourselves."

As he said that, he said seriously: "We may stay in the county for the past two days, please ask Lin Changshi to find us a place to live."

"That's absolutely fine!"

Lin Changshi hurriedly said: "If there is any need, the three imperial envoys can just inform the chief manager's mansion, and the humble staff will try their best to deal with it."

Zhang Dun said gratefully, "I'm sorry."

The action of the chief manager's mansion was very fast. It didn't take long for Lin Changshi to clean up three rooms for them in the chief manager's mansion.

Also includes a courtyard.

In the courtyard, Zhang Dun, Changsun Wuji, and Du Yan sat around the stone table on stone benches.

Changsun Wuji sighed and said, "The old man feels that the donkey is at the end of his rope."

Du Yan frowned, but also nodded, thinking that when he came to Hebei Road, things would be sold.

Who would have thought that the Chen family and the wealthy gentry would have such a great influence.

Du Yan looked at Zhang Dun solemnly, and said, "Zhang Shaoyin, what shall we do next? You have to come up with an idea."

Zhang Dun folded his hands on his shoulders, with a playful smile on his face, and said, "I have an idea. Those wealthy merchants don't plan to take our goods. Can't we sell them ourselves?"

After finishing speaking, he directed towards the arch outside the courtyard and said, "Vice General Han!"

"I am humble!"

Han Xing walked over solemnly.

Zhang Dun said in a deep voice: "Please go and find out which Taoist temple or temple here is more famous. Please invite their abbots to come over."

Han Xing was taken aback for a moment, and hesitantly said: "Zhang Shaoyin, those are all monks, what if we can't invite them?"

"Can't you come?" Zhang Dun was also stunned, pointing to the Tang Hengdao on his waist, and said, "What does the guy on your waist do for food?"

Suddenly, Han Xing suddenly realized, clasped his fists and said, "No!!"

"..."

After Han Xing left with the soldiers, Du Yan and Changsun Wuji looked at Zhang Dun in astonishment.

Changsun Wuji couldn't help but said: "Zhang Shaoyin, why did you invite them over?"

Zhang Dun didn't respond, but stood up and walked to the place where ten kinds of bamboo utensils were placed, picked up a bamboo comb, put it on the stone table and said, "What is this?"

Changsun Wuji looked at him quietly, waiting for him to continue.

Zhang Dun said patiently: "I plan to sell this thing to my family."

Du Yan who was sitting next to him asked curiously, "Sell it to the Taoist priest in the Taoist temple?"

Zhang Dun shook his head and said, "No, sell it to a monk."

"..."

The two were stunned for a long time before Changsun Wuji said slowly, "Zhang Shaoyin, did the monks offend you?"

Zhang Dun coughed lightly, "No."

Changsun Wuji said without a word: "Then you are offending a monk? Does the monk use a comb?"

Zhang Dun patiently explained: "This thing is sold to monks to earn more."

"..."

The two looked at him suspiciously.

Zhang Dun said angrily, "What are you doing looking at me like that? I'm not crazy."

"You'll find out later."

"Zhang Shaoyin, the humble general has invited the Taoist priest and the abbot!" About half an hour later, Han Xing walked into the courtyard quickly and said loudly.

Zhang Dun looked back, and saw an old Taoist priest in Taoist robes and an old monk in monk's robes walking over with expressionless faces.

"The poor monk Jingfa, I have seen three imperial envoys."

"Five sons of the poor Liu, I have seen three imperial envoys."

The two stood in front of Zhang Dun neither humble nor overbearing.

Zhang Dun, Changsun Wuji, and Du Yan stood up at the same time, and returned their salutes to them. Immediately Zhang Dun smiled and said, "Daoist Liu, Abbot Jingfa, I've asked you to come here. I'm sorry to bother you."

He glanced at Han Xing and asked, "Vice General Han, you didn't make things difficult for them, did you?"

Han Xing raised his head and said, "No."

Wuzi Liu and Jingfa looked at him with deep eyes, did you call him that?

When they heard that the imperial envoy came to see them, they had no intention of coming.

After all, they are monks, and it is inappropriate to meet imperial envoys.
