Early in the morning, I happily carried two hundred kilograms of fish into the city, thinking that I would make a small profit, but I didn't see a penny of money, but instead I had to pay a lot of money first.
The fine of two taels of silver is definitely a huge sum of money for the Lai brothers. Not to mention that they don’t have it at all, they can’t bear to pay it even if they have it!
"Why are you crying? Pay the money quickly! If you don't pay, you will confiscate your fish!"
"Yes, your ox cart will be confiscated!"
"Yes, not only will the things be confiscated, but you will also be arrested and sent to jail!"
“…”
The group of military men whispered, and the more they heard the Lai brothers became more and more scared.
At the same time, both brothers looked at Yun Chao.
The military masters just said that even your ox cart would be confiscated. Can you kid? You can say it better than anyone else along the way. What should you do?
What made the Lai brothers depressed was that Yun Chao was alive and looked like he was not concerned about his own affairs, as if he had never seen their eyes at all.
In desperation, the two brothers had to pull Yun Chao and signaled to talk to him privately.
Yun Chao was stunned. He didn't know what the Lai brothers wanted to do, so he said to several military men: "Several officials, can you wait a moment? I have a few words to explain to my two friends."
"Hmph, hurry up, we don't have time to talk to you!"
Several military men guarded the gate for a long time, and they were all old men. When they saw that Yun Chao was neither humble nor arrogant, his temperament was completely different from that of the Lai brothers. I felt that this kid was extraordinary, and his attitude towards him was not like that of the Lai brothers.
So bad.
Yun Chao and the Lai brothers walked aside and whispered: "If you have anything, just say it."
"Hmph, Yun Er, please don't pretend to be garlic! You didn't hear that they want to be fined, two taels of silver, we can't take it out. Your ox cart is more valuable than our fish, so you have to pay the fine silver!
”
Yun Chao was completely defeated, knowing that the Lai brothers were not something, but they didn't know that this was not something.
You are so cowardly in front of the military man, and you are so arrogant to yourself. You are just bullying honest people, right?
"What, hurry up and get the money. We are still in a hurry to go to the city to sell fish. It has been delayed. If the fish smells bad, it will be counted on you!"
If they ask for fifty taels of silver in their family, who will pay if Yun Er doesn’t pay?
Yun Chao shook his head. Since someone is unkind first, don’t blame him for being unrighteous later.
"I was kind-hearted and prepared to pay for your fish to buy it home, so that you can give an explanation after you go home. Now let's forget it, let them take us all to prison!"
"this……"
The Lai brothers don’t want to be in prison. I heard that the place is very scary, so don’t think of it if you go in!
It's really not worth it to put yourself in for two taels of silver.
"Then Yun Er, how much do you want to get? Let's agree first, you will have to pay at least one tael of silver!"
"Okay, I'll pay a tael of silver, and you pay the other half."
The two brothers were stunned. Unexpectedly, Yun Er agreed so happily. If he had known, he would have said more. I would really regret it.
"Yun Er, we didn't bring the money. You can put it on for us first. When we go back, we will pay it back." Lai Shouren narrowed his eyes and knew that he hadn't thought of a good thing at first glance.
Yun Chao was speechless. These two cowards were so timid that they wanted to plot against themselves.
"Let me do this, I will buy your fish with one tael of silver. You will pay the fine with this tael of silver. I will pay one tael of silver. We will pay half of each, okay?"
"What? We have two hundred kilograms of fish, you want to buy it for one tael of silver. Are you dreaming?"
"Forget it if you don't sell it, I'll pay my own fine, and you two brothers go to jail."
After saying that, Yun Chao turned around and left, which scared the Lai brothers so much that they stopped him.
"Yun Er, don't be anxious first, let's talk about it if you have something to do, let's discuss it..."
Seeing them muttering, the military man guarding the gate stopped doing it: "Why are you going to be too late? Come and pay the money quickly, otherwise we will arrest people now!"
"Okay sir, come over right away!"
Yun Chao bowed to the Junhan who was guarding the gate from afar, and then whispered to the Lai brothers: "This way, I'll give you a tael of silver. You'll leave now, and you don't have to pay a fine. The fish belongs to me, the fine.
I will hand it over, as long as you can, as long as you can, as long as you can't!"
"this……"
Four baskets of fish were exchanged for Yun Chao's one tael of silver, and Yun Chao also had to pay a fine of one tael of silver for them, which was equivalent to selling the fish for two taels of silver.
If you have about 200 kilograms of fish, you can sell it for two taels of silver, and the average price is ten cents per kilogram. It seems that it is a bit cheap?
However, if you can not go to jail and still take a tael of silver to pay the transaction, it doesn’t seem like this transaction is too much of a loss.
No one had eaten fish in Wolong Village before, and the Lai brothers didn't know whether the fish was worth it. If they didn't agree to Yunchao's conditions, they would not have to pay a fine, but they would also go to the city to sell fish by themselves.
What if the fish can't be sold again?
Too great uncertainty.
In addition, the fierce military man kept urging him, and in a hurry, the two brothers didn't have so much time to calculate, so they had to agree to Yun Chao.
"It's a good deal for you two. If you go to the city in the future, I won't be with you no matter what I say, it's bad luck!"
Yun Chao threw a tael of silver over and asked the Lai brothers to get out quickly.
After taking the money, the Lai brothers were immediately happy. They had no money to pay for nothing, and they were spared. It seemed that the deal was not a loss!
Well, in the eyes of the two brothers, a few baskets of fish are not considered a cost at all. Isn’t it just a little effort? The country people have the strength.
What's more, there are those who help you with your spare time and don't have to pay for your wages.
The only thing that made the Lai brothers unhappy was that Yun Er said that he would not come with them in the future and what should he do if he caught fish again?
I originally wanted to go into the city, but when I saw the soldiers guarding the gate, the two brothers decided to go home now.
After the Lai brothers left, Yun Chao turned around and walked towards the city gate.
"Several officials, I didn't want the two countrymen to know about it just now, so I didn't say that these fish were sent by the shopkeeper of the Lion Building. Look..."
As he said that, Yun Chao handed over a string of copper coins without any energy.
"this……"
Several soldiers looked at each other. The military status of the Wu Dynasty was low and they were often called thieves and soldiers. A group of big-headed soldiers guarding the door were okay to shout at ordinary ordinary people, but they were basically on the front of powerful people.
No countertop.
Lion Building is located in the center of Cross Street and is the best restaurant in Qingyang County.
With such a large restaurant, the power behind it can be seen that how dare a few poor soldiers provoke them?
As for those who went to the Lion Building to verify, see if what Yun Chao said is true or false?
Let’s forget it. No matter whether it is true or false, if they dare to ask, they will not be able to give them any money!
After weighing the copper coins in his hand, he felt like he was about to write a hundred words. The leading military man fell into deep entanglement.
Should I take this hundred cents or continue to knock on this country boy’s money?
