Chapter 503: Greed for Money and Lust (Part 2)
Liu Yu's remarks made Gong Shancai not very adaptable. He believed that some of the aristocratic young men in Chang'an City looked down upon others. Although Liu Yu was born in a military general, he could not escape the banditry spirit of the aristocratic young men. Unexpectedly, Liu Yu refused everyone, and as long as he could make money, he didn't care about doing business with merchants.
All are inferior, only those who study well. These days, it’s not just talk about it, but the truth is that a poor scholar on the street has a status than a big merchant. In this era, merchants were actually similar to those of the gangsters of all religions and ranks. Usually, only those who are “desperate” will join the ranks of merchants.
"Then the official will make arrangements."
Liu Yu nodded and watched Gong Shancai leave. Not long after he went, he brought a rich middle-aged man over. The man's eyes and nose were extremely big, and his whole body was round like a ball. He should be the kind of person who was not careful of eating and drinking. When someone came over, he bowed to Liu Yu from afar. He was in the dialect of Huaibei, and it was a big talk, probably speaking of the most admirable scene. Liu Yu sneered, and Gong Shancai was willing to let him come to see him, which means that he had given Gong Shancai a lot of benefits.
"Get up."
Liu Yu personally met him and said something. The man looked up at Liu Yu. Seeing that Liu Yu had a smile on his face, he also smiled, treating it as a smile.
"I don't know what to call it?" Liu Yu asked.
"Little man Li Wanqian, a person from Huaixi County..."
"Oh." Liu Yu nodded, "Li Wanqian, it's quite a good name, then are there thousands of treasures in your family?"
"It's all for the blessing of the emperor and the general. I have made some money over the years, and the villain thanked me here..."
When Li Wanqian saw Liu Yu, he seemed to be unable to do anything except kneeling down. This made Liu Yu feel helpless. Liu Yu actually didn't care about compliments or scenes. He cared more about whether the business could be completed. Getting the money was the most important thing.
"How much money do you plan to buy this treasure post?" Li Wanqian didn't get into the topic, so Liu Yu got into the topic, paying money and delivering the goods at the same time. Since Huaixi County these are the "clean water yamen" where some old-fashioned people live, he did not plan to stay in Huaixi County, so he hurried to the next place to find some filial piety, and the military expenses could be increased.
However, Liu Yu also thought of a way to make money, which may take longer, that is, he will not cheat local officials' money, but instead cheat local wealthy merchants.
Li Wanqian smiled and said, "The villain said he was willing to buy the treasure in the prince's hand for two thousand taels of gold. If the prince felt it was not suitable, the villain was willing to increase the price."
Liu Yuxin said that the relationship is good. Li Wanqian came up and told you that you can speak loudly. Liu Yu, who is short of money, will certainly not miss such a good opportunity to make money.
Liu Yu thought about it and bought the book sticker. What he bought was not the value of the book sticker itself. Even if the book sticker is precious, it was collected by someone. As long as Li Wanqian had money, he could buy it anywhere, and he could buy it any better. The book sticker itself was sold by Liu Yu, and the value was immediately different. This was the thing of the Regent and the emperor's husband. With this thing, it made people know that he had something to do with the Regent. He took it back and offered it to him. Whether it was dealing with merchants or officials, everyone would give him face. Therefore, as long as he could get this thing and not let him lose everything, he would definitely want to get it.
Thinking about this section, Liu Yu didn't want to sell it anymore. It would be better to sell it to his individual ones, turn back to the next stop, and then take out the post and find a family to follow the same rules.
"Master Li Da is really a cheerful person." Liu Yu smiled, "Let's do this, how about going in and having a glass of water and wine together?"
Li Wanqian said, "I dare not take it." When he heard Liu Yu's next sentence, he couldn't even speak. The arrogant Regent actually invited him to come in and have a glass of water and wine, and in front of Gong Shancai, the governor of Huaixi County. If this is true, who would dare to make things difficult for him when he turned around?
"Little...little man..."
Gong Shancai couldn't even speak clearly after this excitement.
Liu Yu smiled and said, "No need to be polite to the rich man Li. Come and have a drink together. Let's treat old friends as a friend and put the transaction aside in advance."
Li Wanqian had an extremely surprised face. It was a great honor to be able to drink with King Lin, which was like a smoke from the ancestral grave. At this time, Gong Shancai's face was not very good. He didn't advocate letting Li Wanqian come to see Liu Yu. It was his subordinates who collected the money and kept saying good things. Gong Shancai couldn't find someone to buy the treasure letters on Liu Yu's hand, so he agreed to let Li Wanqian come and try it. Who would have thought that Li Wanqian was arrogant and dared to drink with King Lin. If this spread was spread, wouldn't it be a bad omen?
"General, I'm afraid..."
"Nothing is afraid, Prefect Gong, you're out of your business, or you're waiting outside. I'll go in and have a drink with Brother Li and come out later. If you have something else to do, please come back first."
Gong Shancai's face turned pale, and Liu Yu was still "very polite". He actually planned to drink with the merchant and leave him out. Although he had opinions, he did not dare to mention Liu Yu, and he also went in to have a drink, because he also knew that Liu Yu and his female relatives lived in the inn, including the current emperor and the queen mother.
"The official is going to leave for the time being." Gong Shancai bowed and retreated.
Li Wanqian originally planned to have a drink with Gong Shancai. In his opinion, since such a good opportunity to drink with Gong Shancai and the Regent, he had to find a witness. Gong Shancai went back and said it before someone believed it. Unexpectedly, Liu Yu was drinking alone with him, and even the prefect of Huaixi County did not have such qualifications. This made Li Wanqian feel honored, but also felt a little disappointed.
"Please, Brother Li."
Liu Yu became polite, and Li Wanqian smiled on his face, nodded and bowed, and followed Liu Yu into the inn.
The inn is divided into two floors, just like an inn. Below is the place to eat and the rest room of the yamen. The second floor is the place for officials to rest. At this time, the surroundings of the battle were surrounded by new soldiers and female soldiers. This alone made Li Wanqian dare not look up.
In his opinion, the prefect of Huaixi County was already a big official, and now that the Regent came, it was even more extraordinary.
"Brother Li, come in."
Liu Yu walked in first and found that Li Wanqian was standing at the door and did not dare to enter. Liu Yu smiled and called out.
Li Wanqian felt a little embarrassed on his face. He wanted to take this step, but he didn't dare. In the end, he mustered up the courage to enter the door.
Liu Yu smiled and said, "Brother Li doesn't have to think he is an outsider. Let's be an old friend. Let's talk about family drinks a glass of water and wine before discussing business." Liu Yu said, Li Wanqian kept nodding, and Liu Yu suddenly said, "Oh? Brother Li, are you interested in becoming an official?"
