Chapter 47(1/2)
Seeing that Li Yuanjing finally agreed to this matter, Wang Youdao became energetic.
But then he remembered that Li Yuanjing actually dared to raise the price with him and asked for more money, which made him instantly unhappy again.
How dare a little furry boy with no hair to fully negotiate terms with Wang Youdao?
No way.
Wang Youdao obviously had no other better choice at this time, so he could only smile patiently:
"Yuan Jing, money is a trivial matter. I wonder, how much do you want?"
Li Yuanjing thought for a while and said:
"Uncle Wang, I wonder how much food you have and how many people you need?"
Wang Youdao thought for a while and said:
"At least thirty people are needed. I have almost a dozen trucks of food here."
"Thirty people?"
Li Yuanjing frowned and pondered for a while and said:
"Uncle Wang, this can be done, but it only requires five hundred taels of silver! And you have to settle the money in cash, so you have to give me all the money in advance!"
"What?"
"Five hundred taels?"
“You still have to settle now???”
Wang Youdao's eyes almost popped out of his head. He stared at Li Yuanjing ferociously and shouted:
"Yuan Jing, don't be too greedy, or you may burst your belly! Do you know how much five hundred taels of silver is? You can even buy a nice house with two entrances in the capital!!"
Li Yuanjing hurriedly said:
"Uncle Wang, don't be angry. Why do I want so much for no reason?"
"Uncle Wang, think about it, this matter is basically going to come and go. I have to find a partnership with the elders in the village. If the benefits are less, what can others do?"
"Moreover."
"Uncle Wang, this is going to end in death. If I don't deal with the matter, will you be able to sleep in the future? Uncle Wang, you must know the folk customs of Quanzi Village better than me, right?"
"this……"
Wang Youdao was speechless for a moment.
For a moment, he couldn't find a reason to refute Li Yuanjing...
after all.
As Li Yuanjing said, if Li Yuanjing doesn't handle the follow-up of this matter cleanly, he, Wang Youdao, may not be able to sleep peacefully in the future.
I'm sure some idiot might burst into his house at night and give him a few knives.
Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, just be afraid of thieves missing you.
After pondering for a long time, Wang Youdao couldn't help but let out a long breath, gritted his teeth and said:
"Yuan Jing, this is okay! But, Yuan Jing, you know your Uncle Wang is not easy to mess with! If you dare to lie to me, do you know the consequences?"
Li Yuanjing hurriedly raised his hands respectfully and said:
"Uncle Wang, don't you still believe in my nephew's character? If my nephew can't do this, I swear on my ancestors of the Li family that I will return this money intact!"
"OK!"
"But I can't give you the money until tomorrow. You have to go back and raise it carefully. In addition, you must wait until the sixth day of the lunar month, that is, four days later, to be ready and start doing it!"
"no problem!"
…
After sending away Wang Youdao who left behind fifty taels of silver and left angrily, Li Yuanjing couldn't help but sneer while squatting down to collect these white and colorful silver fruits!
Do you really think that he, Li Yuanjing, is a little kid with no hair at all and can be kneaded by others?
And this also made Li Yuanjing realize it more deeply!
This era is much more dangerous than the future generations!
after all.
In future generations, if others want more of your money, even if your family will be ruined, your life may not be ruined.
But at this time!
In this era when the sky is high and the emperor is far away, human lives are as small as grass, and the powerful at the bottom can do whatever they want. If you are not careful, they will be the dead bones on the roadside, the nourishment of this fertile land...
Li Yuanjing, who originally wanted to become stronger, is even more determined now!
He must establish his own power as soon as possible. At least, he must have some ability to protect himself first, instead of being a soft persimmon that anyone can pinch!!
…
After packing up the money, Li Yuanjing thought calmly for a while, prepared his words, and then called Chen Chunyan to call the old village chief over.
Xuan even explained the logic he had already compiled to the old village chief carefully, and then casually opened the sack, revealing a large amount of white money inside.
"This, this, this..."
Even though the old village chief has lived for most of his life, he has never seen so much money?
I was dumbfounded for a moment, and my old face turned red.
Half a moment.
Only then did he react and said excitedly:
"Yuan Jing, you have read a book. Whatever you want to do, uncle, I support you! With this money, our village can build an earthen wall..."
Seeing the old village chief crying with excitement, Li Yuanjing couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart and said with a smile:
"Uncle, where are we now? This is just the deposit they gave us. There will be one hundred and fifty taels of silver left in the follow-up. But for this matter, we men must make a careful calculation!"
"There are still one hundred and fifty taels left?"
The old village chief was so frightened that he almost sat down on the ground. He quickly held on to the small wooden table and managed to steady it, and said hurriedly:
"Yuan Jing, I'm illiterate and don't have much knowledge. Whatever you say, I will listen to you!"
Seeing the old village chief holding his hand excitedly, Li Yuanjing couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
fine.
I wasn't too greedy just now. I said I still had fifty taels of silver behind me...
otherwise.
Even with Li Yuanjing's psychological quality, I'm afraid he would feel sorry for himself...
…
After reaching an agreement with the old village chief, the next thing became much simpler. The old village chief provided a long list of candidates, and Li Yuanjing carefully selected them.
The most critical next step is shipbuilding.
But Li Yuanjing was not in a hurry. Instead, he went back and drew a picture to ensure that he had a solid plan before starting to implement it.
after all.
As a Jianghu village, Zhao Zengjin is not the only carpenter in Quanzi Village.
At this time, with Li Yuanjing's influence on Quanzi Village, there seems to be no need to worry about efficiency issues.
When Li Yuanjing had almost completed the drawing of this kind of grain transport ship, it was lunch time, and Yu Niang came over to invite Li Yuanjing to eat.
Li Yuanjing felt much relieved by this time, stretched out comfortably, and kissed Yu Niang for a while, making her pretty face turn red, before he went out.
at this time.
Outside the yard.
The female workers have also arrived at meal time and are chattering excitedly and queuing up at the entrance of the hospital to get their meals. They are indescribably happy.
Naturally, there are also those girls who look forward to the stars and the moon and want to join in the fun.
Li Yuanjing seemed to have become accustomed to this, and a smile appeared on his lips.
However, after taking another casual glance, Li Yuanjing saw a strange figure among the female workers.
Only seen.
This little girl has a very good figure. She must be at least about 1.65 meters, which is already quite tall for a woman in this era.
Even though she was wearing a slightly heavy cotton coat, it still couldn't cover her slim curves.
Unfortunately.
She was wearing a bamboo hat and a black gauze covering her face, making it impossible to see her face clearly.
If it’s not Chen Chuxue, the ‘Sangmen Star’, who is it?
To be continued...
