19. Lin Shangwo mediates in the middle

Hearing the sound, a strong man in his thirties or forties with a Chinese character face, a thick beard on his lips, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and dark skin walked over with a golden sword.

"I'm just asking, nothing else."

Hong Dashou’s criminal record is already quite large. It’s not impossible to add another charge of concealing a gun, but the key point is that he didn’t bring any money!

"You must be a martial arts classmate." The big man walked up to the three of them, and the blacksmiths and men along the way greeted him one after another.

"It's true." Hong Dashou didn't have the word Wu Ban written on his face, and he didn't know how this person could tell.

"I am the sixth grandson of the leader of Wufeng Mountain. Except for Mr. Jin (who is a slave to Hong Dashou and the two squads, but to outsiders Jin Douji is the eldest master of the yamen.), I don't know how to call you two."

"Wanshang Bendian Shu (shielded) written by Lin Shangwo."

"Dashou Tieshanhong."

"Send hello to Jiang Xingshou for me, and thank him for taking care of him over the years." Sure enough, the Sixth Grandson's most important thing is Lin Shangwo from the Gulf Business Group, and Hong Dashou and Jin Douji still have to take second place.

"Be sure to bring it!" Lin Shangwo also knows that Wufengshan is also a major supplier of Bay Business. Hello, hello, hello, everyone.

"Tell me, what's going on? I'm a rough guy, there's no need to beat around the bush, just tell the truth!"

"It's like this. Brother Jin spent a thousand taels at the foot of the mountain to buy a four-leaf ginseng called a century-old long-brained ginseng. What you did seems to be a bit excessive."

Lin Shangwo was entrusted by others to be loyal. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and go up to negotiate with Sixth Grandson. Although there is still some kingly law in this world, talking about kingly law with a bandit seems to be a bit of a joke.

After hearing Lin Shangwo's words, the sixth grandson had a calm expression on his face and waved gently. Immediately, a man came over, and the sixth grandson leaned into his ear and gave some instructions.

"Please wait a moment, you three, and let me confirm. How dare you give Mr. Jin's things to him by mistake."

"Good work, good work." Lin Shangwo heard the beautiful words said, and there was nothing wrong with them, so he could only go on.

Not long after, the person who went out to confirm came back. He also jabbered to Liu Sun, probably confirming that the private businessman disguised under the mountain had cheated Jin Douji.

"It is indeed the case. My subordinates were blind and failed to recognize Mr. Jin. Please come down from the mountain and the one thousand taels will be returned to the original owner within five days." The sixth grandson arrived quickly and promised.

Lin Sangwo saw the troubled expression on Jin Douji's face, and also knew that Jin Douji was afraid of being cheated. Anyone who was cheated for a thousand taels would have doubts. Now the promise of the sixth grandson is likely to be based on In the face of Lin Shangwo, or rather the Gulf businessman.

After going down the mountain and Lin Shangwo left, was the bandit's words reliable? No one dared to vouch for it.

"Because these one thousand taels are used by Brother Jin to handle goods. The envoy is about to leave. I'm afraid we won't have enough time. Can you give me a few percent first and let him use it to handle goods?"

Lin Shangwo asked carefully and tentatively, and the sixth grandson had already promised to deliver it in five days. But Jin Douji couldn't get through it, and Lin Shangwo was caught in the middle. He could only mediate slowly and try to get it right.

"It's not that I don't want to give it to you now. You've also seen the situation in the mountains. The fields are burned by fires, and there's not enough food for a long time. I've already gone out to buy food for the thousand taels. I just want to give it to you, so I'll take it for the time being. Not coming out."

The sixth grandson was very single and didn't hide anything. He told the story about his lack of money very plainly and straightforwardly.

I think there are two to three thousand people living in this mountain, although there are also a few acres of thin fields. But in this era, if you want to get more food, in addition to God's provision, it all depends on water and fertilizer. Hong Dashou's job is to irrigate the fields with good water, and gold Jinshi looked at it twice and his eyes lit up.

And these dry lands at the top and bottom of Wufeng Mountain can't produce much food at all, and they can't control thousands of mouths. Even if they start to make iron, everyone will be half dry and half thin, and it's not easy to cheat Jin Douji for such a big sum. Of course Immediately go buy food and come back for a full meal.

"This..." Lin Shangwo turned to Jin Douji and kept telling him with his eyes, what should he say? Should he just leave like this and bet that he would send back a thousand taels in five days?

"Wufeng Mountain is so big, there must be some local products. Anyway, it's just a delivery, and it's the same with you."

Hong Dashou saw that he was so honest, so he definitely couldn't force him to pay for it now. He could just use the things to pay the bill, and there was no need for Jin Douji to run around anymore.

"There are some mountain products, but they are bits and pieces. I'm afraid it's not enough for a thousand taels." Liusun was obviously not happy to owe others money, but long-brained ginseng that is over a hundred years old is so easy to find. It is a treasure. , ordinary things are not worth that money.

"Let Lin Shu (shielded) memorize the palms and eyes, it will always be worth three melons and two dates, that's about it." Hong Dashou gently pushed Lin Shangwo forward. An intermediary recognized by both parties was ready.

"That's OK, please Lin Shu (shield) and take note of it."

Wufeng Mountain must not only contain iron, but also many things that should be found in normal mountains. The most direct one is ginseng, but it must not be more than a hundred years old.

The seven long-brained ginseng plants we brought up first cost only five or six cents each, and the larger ones cost only one tael. Even if the seven plants together weighed five taels, they couldn't be compared with the hundred-year-old ginseng that weighed five taels per plant.

"Two hundred taels." Lin Shangwo looked at the roots and smelled the ginseng fragrance. It was indeed wild long-brained ginseng, but it was just average and not considered a treasure.

Hong Dashou also took it and smelled it. Sure enough, there was an indescribable fragrance. It was faint, not overpowering at all, not pungent, and it smelled a bit comfortable.

"There are also about ten pieces of red rosin, big and small. How much are they worth?" Liu Sun proposed another cloth bag.

As soon as he poured it out, Hong Dashou immediately saw that the red amber today was called red rosin.

The big ones weigh half a catty, the small ones are as big as quail eggs, and there are fifteen in total. The big ones can be carved into pieces, but the small ones can only be scraped together to make rosary beads or the like.

"The big ones are worth some money, the small ones are..." Lin Shangwo was not biased in his business discussions. Blood amber as big as a quail egg would have been quite valuable in later generations, but now it is worthless. Son.

"If I don't treat this little thing as a toy and give it to you all, how much can it be worth?" The sixth grandson also understood the truth and waved his hand to settle the accounts directly.

"It's considered two hundred."

"OK!"

"There are two more leopard skins and a dozen fox skins." Two more men came over with a pile of furs.

Lin Shangwo shook open the leopard skin. One piece had a large tear on the buttocks, and the other had several arrow holes on the head, none of which were in the main part. It was considered a good complete picture.

I brought seventeen fox skins and calculated three hundred taels, which is the ordinary market price.

The other bits and pieces are really worthless. If you cut down dozens of mature red pine trees, they will be worth three hundred. But Jin Douji can't take them with him, so in the end he can only owe them. He said he would deliver them within ten days. Here comes the remaining three hundred taels.

Jin Douji carried a basket full of goods alone and left the village with a light heart.

Before leaving, the sixth grandson gave Lin Shangwo a deerskin, saying that it would be used to make a pair of boots for him on his way to Yanjing. Lin Shangwo originally refused to accept it, but he couldn't resist his enthusiasm, so he finally gave in.

Take it.
