Chapter 503 (1/2)
As soon as the grain is transported to Yucheng, it enters the grain depot after inspection. This time, all the food Wu Kuo sent was new food. Without old food, Yun Qing was very satisfied. In addition, the daily necessities such as quilts, cotton pants and so on were directly distributed to the military barracks after the inspection, and were not put into storage. It's the end of October. All these things can be used.
There are three batches of grain. This is the first batch. The second batch and the third batch are on their way. At this meeting, it's time to settle the payment.
Yunqing is very straightforward. He carries out more than 20 boxes of gold, silver and jewelry he copied from Xu's family. Let the guard open it and point to the things in the box and say, ”Wu, how much do you want to pay? If you think it's less, we'll make it up. If it is too much, the rest of the money will be charged to your account, and it will be deducted directly when you buy something next time. ”
Wu Kuo's mouth twitches. He looks like a general. He is a bandit leader.” general Yun, these things are worth a lot of money and are worth far more than what you ordered. But these things are from your family copying. Will you have trouble giving them to me? If there is any trouble, I dare not ask for it. ” It's a euphemism. Wu Kuo is sure it's a big trouble.
These things have passed through the eyes of the imperial envoy. If they are used without any trouble, they are deceiving. Yunqing has always been a kind person. He said straightly, ”if there is any trouble, I will carry it alone, and it will not affect you.”
Wu Kuo just wanted to ha ha. These gold, silver and jewelry were used by Yunqing without the permission of the imperial court. However, he knew how they could not be involved. Wu Kuo said: ”general Yun, I also think you are a sincere person to do this business with you. You can't do this to me. ”
Yunqing said in a cold voice, ”if you don't want to collect these gold and silver, I don't ask for it. I will find another way to raise money. However, this time we can't pay off the whole payment. ”
Wu Kuo was very satisfied, at least Yunqing didn't force him to ask for these things. Wu Kuo also decided to give up a step and said, ”when the third batch of grain arrives, all the money should be paid to me.”
Yunqing agrees.
At this time, Yu Cong came over and said, ”general Fu, please come over and say something to discuss.”
Looking at the back of Yunqing, Wu Kuo asked for a bow. In fact, the profit of this business is not high, or even very low. The reason why he is willing to do this business is that Wu Kuo has other plans. I also want to talk with Yunqing this time. Unexpectedly, Yunqing is so busy. There is no time to say a few words.
Wu Xiaomao said in a low voice, ”Sir, do you think general Yun is deliberately avoiding us?” No matter how busy you are, you won't delay such a meeting.
Wu Kuo said with a smile: ”general Yun is not able to calculate. He knows what I want to say. However, I have to talk to Mrs. Yun about this! ” I just don't know if Mrs. cloud has this bravery.
In other words, Wu Kuo still thinks the border city is good. Like those big families in the south of the Yangtze River, let alone those girls who don't go out two doors and don't walk, and even those who marry can't follow their advice.
Yuxi is seeing clearly the account of Mingtang. He hears that Wu Kuo is coming. Put down the account book, Yuxi said, ”I will come to the main hall right away!”
After entering the room and changing a suit of clothes, he combed his head again and put on makeup. Yuxi went to the main hall. This is also the habit that Yuxi has formed. You must wash it properly when you see foreigners.
As soon as Yuxi entered the main hall, he saw a little girl in indigo. The little girl looks like she is seven or eight years old. She is very smart.
Wu Kuo said, ”madam, according to the picture you gave me, I found the trafficker. But I only got four children back. One of the other three was sold on the way, and two were lost on the way. ” I can't find it after I sell it on the way.
It's good to get four back. Yuxi said, ”how can I bring only one? And three more children? ”
Wu Kuo said: ”only this child wants to come back, the other three children do not want to come back.” After Wu Kuo redeemed the people, he took them back to Wu's house. Wu's family is rich and powerful. Even if they are just ordinary servant girls, they will not lack clothes and eat less. After a period of time in Wu's family, they naturally didn't want to go back to Yucheng. My parents are gone, and my relatives don't care about them as a drag. Instead of going back to Yucheng to face the unknown fate, I'd better stay at Wu's house. At least I'm comfortable with food and clothing at Wu's house, and I won't be sold again.
Yuxi knew that these children were afraid that they would have a good life at Wu's house, so they didn't want to come back. Yuxi wanted to find these children because she was afraid that they would fall into the land of fireworks. Now she knows that they would like to stay in Wu's house, and Wu's house will not treat them badly, and naturally will not force them to come back. Yuxi asked the only little girl back: ”what's your name?”
The little girl looked at Yuxi, and her eyes were timid, but she was more grateful: ”madam, my name is peony.” Wu Kuo didn't hide from some little girls. After saving them, he told the four girls the truth, saying that Yuxi asked him to help him find them.
