At noon, Lu Wei arrived at the Peony Hall of Juxiang Building. He carried a wooden box. As soon as he entered the door, Wang Shuang and Zhou Hua, who had been waiting for a long time, stood up at the same time. Lu Qiao also stood up, and the three pairs of eyes were fixed on Lu.
Wooden box in Weaver's hand.
In particular, the nervousness and expectation in the eyes of Wang Shuang and Zhou Hua were clearly revealed. The contents of the wooden box were too important to them. Lu Qiao was equally nervous. The hope of whether his dream of getting rich could be realized also rested on this wooden box.
Lu Wei walked in and put the wooden box on the table. He sat down and drank two glasses of wine. Wang Shuang winked at Zhou Hua, and Zhou Hua quickly locked the door to prevent anyone from breaking in.
Lu Wei drank another glass of wine and said calmly: "Don't worry, I observed carefully when I came here and there was no one following me."
Wang Shuang laughed dryly, "I have my men watching me downstairs. I'm not afraid that the internal guards will come to check. I'm just afraid that the bartender will come in to deliver the food and be seen by him, so be careful."
Lu Wei took out a key, opened the small lock on the wooden box, opened the top cover, took out a rather heavy bundle from the inside, and placed it carefully on the table.
Lu Wei put the wooden box on the ground and said: "This is the Iron Fire Thunder. The Iron Fire Thunder has four sizes, a five-pound iron hedgehog, a twenty-pound iron dog, a fifty-pound iron pig, and a hundred and twenty-pound iron pig."
Ten kilograms of iron rhino, this is the five kilograms of iron hedgehog I got. Five kilograms refers to the amount of medicine, plus the weight of the iron shell, the actual weight is eleven kilograms."
"Can Lu Sima open it and take a look?" Wang Shuang asked.
He recently learned some common sense about Iron Fire Thunder from a soldier. Although it was only superficial common sense, it was much better than before.
Lu Wei untied the knot of cloth, revealing an iron knot that looked like a flat wine jar, shining with a dark luster.
Wang Shuang stepped forward and knelt down to take a closer look, and immediately saw the engraved number, West Firearms No. 10635. The '1' in the front means the first type of iron hedgehog, and the '635' in the back means the 63rd
Fifteen pieces made.
With this number, there is no problem. It is an authentic Western Army Iron Fire Thunder.
"This is a residual mine. There is no match rope. It is the kind you expected. Fortunately, this batch is the only iron fire mine that was repaired because there was no match rope."
"Are there no drawings?" Wang Shuang asked again.
Lu Wei shook his head, "I made it very clear before, there can't be blueprints. If you still have hope in the blueprints, there will be no way to make a deal."
"We also know that it is unlikely, we are just asking casually."
Wang Shuang was so elated that he couldn't hide his joy. He sat down and asked with a smile: "Can Lu Sima tell me its origin?"
Lu Wei re-wrapped it with cloth, put it back in the box and locked it, and then said calmly: "This batch of fire thunder arrived at midnight last night. I personally picked up the goods. They came from Hedong Road, Hanzhong Prefecture and Hexi
On Helu, this fire mine was returned from Hanzhong Mansion. The soldiers accidentally pulled out the match rope. Hanzhong Mansion returned three fire mines in total. I changed the three to two and put them on a separate page so that they cannot be found in the warehouse.
"
Zhou Hua said a little anxiously: "You can leave this iron fire thunder to us!"
"Of course, but at least we have to negotiate the price first, how much it will cost, and how we will pay it. You two may have some beliefs and don't value money, but it has nothing to do with me. Everything I do is just for money."
"Of course I will give you the money!"
Wang Shuang laughed twice and said: "The two hundred thousand guan mentioned before includes the drawings, but if there are no drawings, it is possible."
Lu Wei waved his hand to interrupt him, "I don't care how much money you can get, but we agreed on 50,000 yuan. If you miss a penny, the deal will fall through. You guys should think about it before you come to me!"
After saying that, Lu Wei picked up the box and left. Wang Shuang was so frightened that his face turned green and he quickly said: "Lu Sima, wait a minute."
He rushed forward like an arrow and bowed repeatedly, "It's easy to talk about money! It's easy to talk!"
Of course, Lu Wei was just pretending and couldn't make the other party suspicious.
He stopped and asked again: "What about the money?"
"The main reason is that we don't have 50,000 guan in hand, so let's do this! We will pay you 400 taels of gold first, which is equivalent to 10,000 guan, and the remaining 40,000 guan will be paid in full afterwards."
Lu Wei sneered and said: "You are not locals. You took your things and ran away. Where can I find you?"
"Lu Sima, please believe us, we won't leave. Just in Jingzhao, we will let others send the things away."
Lu Jiao also stepped forward to persuade: "Brother, don't worry, Boss Wang and Boss Zhou are both trustworthy people. I can guarantee that they will definitely give you money and will not cheat you."
Zhou Hua also said: "This is how we do business. We are also middlemen. We pay a deposit first, and when the other party gives us the money, we will give it to you. As you said, we are not locals, and you are a senior official in Jingzhao.
It is easy for you to kill us, in fact you are using our lives as collateral."
Lu Wei nodded, "That sounds like it. I can give you the things first. As you said, give me four hundred taels of gold first, but I have a condition."
"What are the conditions? Lu Sima, please tell me!"
"I'm not familiar with you, what will I do if you run away? So I ask you to meet with my brother every day to prove that you are still in Jingzhao."
"Yes! Yes! Brother Lu has been hanging out with us every day during this period. As soon as we are gone, he will notify you immediately."
Speaking of this, Wang Shuang immediately winked at Zhou Hua, and Zhou Hua also took out a small box, opened it, took out fifty ingots of gold, all twelve ingots, and pushed them to Lu Wei.
"This is five hundred taels of gold. We only have so much gold. Let's accept it together, Lu Sima!"
Lu Qiao couldn't help but swallow his saliva as he looked at the shining gold. Lu Wei divided the gold into two. He accepted four hundred taels, and the other one hundred taels pointed at Lu Jiao. He should also have an intermediary income!
Wang Shuang hesitated for a moment. He had already negotiated with Lu Jiao in advance. Without the blueprint, he could not get 200,000 guan, so he could only give him 5,000 guan in the end. Lu Qiao was already extremely poor, and he was satisfied with 5,000 guan.
In fact, Wang Shuang didn't want to give him a penny, so Wang Shuang pushed the gold to Lu Wei, "Lü Sima should keep the gold. I will give him some every time over to Lu Qiao. If he gets a hundred taels of gold at a time, someone will kill him."
Doubtful, the risk is high.”
Lu Wei nodded, "That makes sense. There are a lot of internal guards in Jingzhao, so you really have to pay attention to the risks. Okay! I'll just accept it as a deposit."
Lu Jiu watched helplessly as Lu Wei walked away with five hundred taels of gold, and couldn't help but wailing in his heart.
Wang Shuang took out the iron fire thunder and took a closer look. He was sure it was real. He was extremely excited and said to Zhou Hua: I will rush to Xianyang immediately and arrange for someone to send it away to avoid long nights and dreams."
They had already bought a batch of sheepskins in advance. They could dig a shape into the sheepskin and hide the wooden box inside. Fortunately, the Xuanfu Envoy of Sichuan and Shaanxi encouraged commerce and never inspected the caravan. As long as they had purchase receipts, they would go all the way.
Let it go without even collecting business tax.
Wang Shuang carried the wooden box out of the restaurant and got on his carriage. The coachman whipped his whip and said, "Drive!" The carriage started and ran towards Xianyang.
Zhou Hua poured a full glass of wine for Lu Jiao and said with a smile, "Don't worry! Your share will definitely be given to me."
"I'm so poor now! I won't get my salary until the beginning of next month, and I don't have a penny in my hand."
"You work in the granary, right?" Zhou Hua asked thoughtfully.
"Yes! I only take care of the account books, not the physical goods in the warehouse. It's impossible to steal some old rice and sell it."
Zhou Hua thought for a while and smiled: "Actually, there are ways to make money in the accounting book. A lot of the data in it is confidential. As long as it is confidential, there are people who are willing to spend money to buy it."
Lu Jiu's eyes lit up, "Is there such a good thing?"
