Three hundred citations are definitely not a normal price. You should know that this is collected from the people's land, and there is still a fee to transport grain to the city. If grain merchants collect this method, according to their contract with Chang'an, they will basically not make money. If they make some money, they will have to pay.

How can you do this business

The merchants were angry, so naturally they could not collect the grain. The farmers who signed the contract in advance also repent. People who didn't know a single word had no contract spirit. They only knew that their own grain was cheaper and suffered losses, so of course they repent.

If it is normal, these people dare not. The merchants who go to the countryside to collect grain will not bring a few thugs, let alone sign a contract or a deposit. There is no contract or a deposit. The agreed price is that you, a small commoner, will not beat you to death if you don’t sell it.

But this time, because there were people from the imperial court in the village, in order not to find fault for Li Mu, they were not even a thug. They only brought the account room, and the man, only a few people. Even Liba, who helped transport food, was hired by the local people. There were only a few people, facing the angry villagers in a village, they were not the opponents.

At this time, they remembered the court again and Li Mu came. They pressed the contract with the handprints in black and white paper. How could they say that if they don’t comply, they won’t comply?

No, I have to find a place to reason with the merchants and the merchants were angry, and they couldn't collect the food left and right. One and two got together, and decided to decide that the next morning, no one would run away, and went to the Hou Mansion to ask Li Mu to reason with him.

Go together

Everyone was yelling.

The next day, in front of the Marquis's Mansion.

The slogans were shouting loudly, and when it was time to do things, they would have diarrhea. Yesterday, they screamed and didn't come, but a few came. They looked closely and found that they were all carrying the contracts in Chang'an. If it was winter, they could not pay the grain, and according to the agreement, they would have to pay a lot of money. But at the current price of grain, they really couldn't collect it. Li Mu had already set the price of grain collection at 300 cents. When they offered the same price, the common people would definitely sell it to Li Mu and not sell it to them. If they raised the price, they would have already paid 300 cents. If they raised the price, they would have paid 300 cents. If they asked for another penny, they would have to pay. Who would be willing to do such a thing

If this is the case, it is better to go to another place to collect some food and send it to Chang'an. If it is operated properly, it may be even less compensation.

The situation was at this point, which was unexpected by Manager Sun. But he was the initiator. If he had encountered something, he would not have to mess around in Luoyang's territory in the future. It had been a quarter of an hour since the agreed time. Manager Sun looked at the people who came and thought that it was just these, and it was impossible for anyone to come again. He gritted his teeth and went out, skillfully took out a ingot from his sleeve and stuffed it into the hands of the Jinyiwei who was guarding the gate.

"This adult"

Before he could say anything, how could the Yuanbao be handed over and how did he come back? Manager Sun's face changed. He was not afraid of the people in the yamen who were collecting money. He was a businessman and was born inferior. But as long as it was money, it was nothing to the merchant, it was nothing to the merchant. It was just a little more blood. But if it was something that money could not handle, no matter how big it was, it was not a trivial matter to the merchant, because they only had money and had no other support.

The Zheng family in Xingyang is considered a reliance, and today it is considered number one, but at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, he knows that it is not easy to use without anyone mentioning it.

Manager Sun hurriedly put on a smile on his face, then went up and said, "Sir, just a little bit of your heart."

"Don't harm me." The Jinyiwei reached out and said, "The Jinyiwei has rules. You can't take money that you shouldn't take. If you have any questions, say, get out of the way, and you can wait in front of the Marquis's door."

"This" Manager Sun was disappointed and had to take back the ingot with awkwardness. He bowed and said, "Sir, I have something to do."

Jinyiwei glanced at him up and down, and still had the expression of grandma not loving her uncle and not loving her, saying "What's the matter?"

"I want to see the Marquis."

"Go" When the Jinyiwei heard his words, he curled his lips and said indifferently, "Look at your dress, you don't look like a rude person. Why do you do things so vaguely? What kind of person is that? People like you can see you as soon as you want. If you want to see the Marquis, the Marquis will have to see you. Then the Marquis won't have to do anything else for a day and serve you." After saying that, he stopped looking at them and said, "If you want to see the Marquis, you will submit a letter to your visit three days in advance. If you want to see the Marquis, you will know if you want to see the Marquis. Take it out. If you don't, leave quickly. Block the gate of the Marquis' Mansion. Don't blame me for being merciless."

"This," Manager Sun was choked again, and he was so angry that he almost suffocated himself to death, but he could not deny that what the Jinyiwei guard at the gate made sense. There were hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang City. If anyone wanted to see Li Mu, Li Mu would have to see him, and there was no need to do anything else.

But in his heart, he regarded Li Mu as an opponent. This is like two equal opponents. If one side loses, the other side's minimum etiquette should be regarded as mutual appreciation. That's what he thought, thinking that the food collection battle ended before it even started. If he lost, even if it was humiliation, Li Mu should want to humiliate him in person. Unexpectedly, he came to humiliate Li Mu, but he couldn't even get in, and felt a sense of loss from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing that the Jinyiwei had no intention of being able to be harmonious, Manager Sun was a little discouraged and turned to his companion and said, "The Marquis is not here, let's go back."

Other merchants were not as brave as Manager Sun. They sighed and planned to go home when they saw this. But at this moment, it was a coincidence that the gate of the Hou Mansion opened with a creak. Ma Zhou came out of it, frowned, as if he had encountered something difficult.

Manager Sun recognized Ma Zhou. When he saw him come out, he quickly went up to "Ma Changshi, stay."

Ma Zhou was thinking about things, but he didn't see the door blocking. He looked up when he heard the sound. Seeing so many people blocking the door, he couldn't help but ask, "Who can you recognize me?"

"We are all the shopkeepers of the Nanshi Grain Store. The villain's surname is Sun, and he is the shopkeeper of the Dingfeng Grain Store. Ma Changshi naturally does not recognize the villain, but the villain recognizes Ma Changshi. If it weren't for Ma Changshi's advice to the Marquis, we would have no way out for the grain merchants and thanked Ma Changshi." As he said that, Sun and his group bowed and bowed. Ma Zhou hurriedly avoided, reached out to help Manager Sun, and said, "Don't thank me, I didn't help you, I've cheated you, me." Ma Zhou was about to say down, but he seemed to not know what to say, but he was speechless for a moment and sighed.

Manager Sun borrowed a donkey to the side and continued to say as Ma Zhou said, "I know the kindness of Ma Changshi, I will definitely not forget it. But there is something wrong with this matter now." Speaking of this, he carefully said, "I don't know if Ma Changshi knows it. The Marquis spoke today and said that he wanted three hundred pounds of grain to collect." He glanced at Ma Zhou's expression and said, "Has Ma Changshi heard that Ma Changshi heard it?"

"Oh," Ma Zhou sighed again and said, "If it's only three hundred ci, you're lucky. Three hundred ci is the price in the morning. Now the price is three grades, three hundred ci, one dou of third grade, four hundred ci, and five hundred ci"

"Five Hundred" Manager Sun and others felt that they were in a dark state. If they had done three hundred documents, they would not pay the bill. If they had done so, they would definitely lose money. If they didn't want to, they would not be able to think about it. But now, they would not be able to do so, because if Li Mu collected grain at the price of five hundred documents, not only the grain prices in Luoyang, but also outside Luoyang would also rise, but the contract they had signed could not increase. If they could not pay the grain, they would still have to lose money.

Manager Sun knelt down at once. The current situation could not allow him to bend down. He hugged Ma Zhou's thighs, as if he felt sorry for his money, and cried, "Why do you think the Marquis is this? We are just a small pariah, and we can't compete with us. The Marquis's way of receiving such a way of receiving the Marquis, even if there is a mountain of gold and silver, he has to pay it. It's not necessary, it's not possible."

Ma Zhou was as puzzled as they thought, and said, "If I knew what he was thinking, wouldn't I persuade the Marquis to do things? Every time he unexpectedly said, he would have a better memory in the future. Don't mess with him. He could do anything, and he could really pay a mountain of gold. For one breath, he could do it." Ma Zhou pulled out his leg and said, "Don't wait here, go home, I have to go out of the city to arrange it, and collect grain at the new price tomorrow morning."

"Chief, don't leave." Manager Sun hugged Ma Zhou's thigh and wiped his snot on his trousers. "We know that we have accepted the punishment. The marquis wants to beat him and punish him. We have been punished. Please ask the chief to take us to see the marquis and apologize in person."

Manager Sun also thought it through. I don’t know how much money Li Mu has. But if he was Li Mu, even if he had been with hundreds of thousands of yuan in to fight for a breath, he would definitely die if he had made a sigh of relief. This is Luoyang, Li Mu’s fiefdom. He is like an emperor here. Can a small merchant who has made enemies with him fight?

It doesn't matter if you die. What should Li Mu do if the Zheng family's industries be poured out? Can it resist his anger?

Therefore, he must apologize or beg for nothing and not beg for forgiveness.

Ma Zhou didn't want to worry about this matter, but he was confused now. He just got defeated by Li Mu. Now he just wanted to get away from Li Mu as far as possible and stay away from this unreasonable madman.

Manager Sun saw that Ma Zhou didn't want to take care of him, but now he had no other way. He gritted his teeth and made up his heart and said, "Shi Shi Ma, now, you have no responsibility at all, are you just throwing us here and leaving nothing to care about?"

This sentence means that when Ma Zhou's heart is in his heart, he feels guilty. In the current situation, it is indeed better not to stop him. If he stops, these merchants do not collect grain near Luoyang, but can still collect grain in other places. But now, if they do not collect grain near Luoyang, they will collect grain in other places, and the prices will also rise. Ma Zhou was sent out by Li Mu to collect grain, and what he saw and heard along the way was not in vain, and he was considered half an expert.

Thinking of this, Ma Zhou nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you to see the Marquis, but I'm just talking first. I can't control how to speak and what consequences will be."

Manager Sun was very happy and thanked him for his gratitude. "I am already grateful for the Chief Secretary's commitment to such a great relationship. There will be a reward in the future."

"Oh, okay, I dare not ask for it." Ma Zhou waved his hands repeatedly, turned around and returned to the Marquis' Mansion. After a while, Ma Zhou came out to call them. This time, the Jinyiwei at the door did not stop him, and they finally went in.

Lobby.

"Marty, I know I'm wrong." Manager Sun and others knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing. Li Mu raised his hand and Ma Zhou helped everyone up for him. He pointed to the seat again. Manager Sun and others dared not sit. Ma Zhou gave them a wink and then sat down tremblingly.

"I know I'm wrong." Li Mu looked at everyone and asked with a smile.

"The Marquis is rich and powerful, and I am amazing. I am waiting, I am not a match, and I know my mistake." Manager Sun was humiliated. Although he was very careful and did not want to bring out his emotions, he was still a little uncomfortable when he knew his destiny. As soon as he said that, he regretted it, but he didn't know what to say to remedy, so he had to smile embarrassedly.

Li Mu was not annoyed, and still looked like he was smiling and deserved a beating. He said, "I heard it, I'm a little dissatisfied. I think I'm a lunatic. I'm doing the business of losing money in order to be angry," he paused, looked at everyone, and asked, "Yes, I think so."

"I dare not, I have no such intention." Manager Sun shook his head like a rattle, and the rest of the people were the same. Even if he thought so in his heart, who dares to admit that this is not adding fuel to the fire?

Li Mu looked at Ma Zhou, "You think so too."

"Secretary," Ma Zhou pursed his lips, "There is no such thing."

Li Mu laughed again, his tone even more worthy of beating, "You guys, I want to fight with me, and my courage is commendable. I really admire you. But I can't understand. You are also people who have been ups and downs in the mall for many years. Why do you even forget to know yourself and your enemy? Is this marquis so worth mentioning in your eyes?"

Without waiting for Li Mu to look at Ma Zhou, "You think so too."

"Secretary," Ma Zhou pursed his lips, "There is no such thing."

Li Mu laughed again, his tone even more worthy of beating, "You guys, I want to fight with me, and my courage is commendable. I really admire you. But I can't understand. You are also people who have been ups and downs in the mall for many years. Why do you even forget to know yourself and your enemy? Is this marquis so worth mentioning in your eyes?"

If you don’t wait, why do you forget to know yourself and your enemy? Is this marquis so worthless in your eyes?”

If you don’t wait, why do you forget to know yourself and your enemy? Is this marquis so worthless in your eyes?”
