Chapter 384: One Price, Three Hundred Thousand Taels
Lu Wanyin and Song Jiuning, each holding a teacup, retreated together.
To prevent the teapot on the table from flying out and hurting them.
The letter was sent by Hou Yuanji.
Lu Wanyin brought it to Mu Linyuan early in the morning.
Of course, when it comes to fanning the flames, the sooner the better.
Sure enough, Mu Linyuan was so angry that he felt dizzy early in the morning without even washing his face.
He still underestimated the shamelessness of Emperor Dasheng.
"Yeah, yeah, it's pretty shameless."
Lu Wanyin nodded in agreement without hesitation: "I sympathize with you, but sympathy is sympathy and business is business. You still have to pay for the next batch of soap."
Mu Linyuan felt a little dizzy. He covered his head with one hand and supported his leg with the other: "Don't talk. My legs hurt and my head hurts too."
"Then you better be careful."
Not only did Lu Wanyin not show any restraint, she also threw another bomb at him: "The soap was taken away, and the emperor still found a legitimate reason for himself.
Taking this opportunity, do you think he will attack you again?
Last time I attacked you secretly, you ended up like this. If I were to do it openly this time...tsk tsk."
Song Jiuning stood aside, looking at Lu Wanyin with a strange expression.
As expected, Wanyin is a professional at adding fuel to the fire.
"From what Miss Lu said, there should be a solution."
Every time Lu Wanyin reminded him of something, it was for a purpose.
Just like last time I reminded him to be careful of robbers.
"yes."
Lu Wanyin smiled and blew the steam off her tea. "We are just ordinary people. Of course, we can't do anything to the imperial court. However, we do have ways to deal with your leg. After all, we run a clinic, so we are professional."
After hearing her words, Mu Linyuan felt even more dizzy.
How can this woman say such things with such confidence?
Whose common people are so tough as them?
It’s been less than four months, and the wilderness has been almost wiped out.
He tried to tell himself that he couldn't argue too much with Lu Wanyin, and decisively ignored the first half of her sentence: "Why not give me a definite answer? How long do you think it will take to heal my leg?"
How long does it take to heal?
Lu Wanyin raised an eyebrow: "Look at you, you underestimated us. If you give us money now, we will let you run back later."
"really"
Lu Wanyin curled her lips: "Believe it or not."
Mu Linyuan gritted his teeth and drank a sip of water to calm himself down: "In that case, name your price."
Lu Wanyin raised her slender hand and held up three fingers: "Three hundred thousand taels."
"puff--"
Mu Linyuan spat out a mouthful of tea, which choked him and made him cough, and his legs hurt even more.
"How many"
Mu Linyuan's voice instantly rose several degrees: "Who can afford to treat my leg for three hundred thousand taels of silver? My leg will be healed in half a month at most."
I've seen people rip off customers, but I've never seen anyone rip off customers so cruelly.
Especially when she met him, Lu Wanyin wanted to dig up his family's assets.
Lu Wanyin calmly placed the teacup on the table and wiped her hands with a handkerchief: "Then you can just wait another half a month.
Anyway, it's only been half a month, and the emperor's men are so slow, they definitely won't arrive so quickly.
We certainly won't confiscate your business, seize your goods, arrest you, or uproot you from Dasheng."
Every time she said something, Mu Linyuan felt a little colder in his heart.
When she finished speaking, his heart finally died.
He held up his forehead with a somewhat listless look and said, "Give me a discount. I just had a large batch of goods seized. We are all friends. You wouldn't just stand by and watch someone die."
Mu Linyuan never imagined that one day he would be sitting here bargaining with others for three hundred thousand taels of silver.
It’s not that he cares about this little money.
But he was cheated by Lu Wanyin every time, and he was really unwilling to accept it.
"Since you mentioned friendship, that's not impossible."
Lu Wanyin nodded, looking like someone who was easy to talk to.
Mu Linyuan narrowed his eyes, tensed his muscles, and subconsciously became alert.
This woman is so good at talking.
really.
Lu Wanyin laid out the conditions in the calmest tone: "If Shui Yu captures a city in Dasheng within three months, you must return it to me unconditionally."
It should be returned to me, not to Dasheng.
Mu Linyuan had no energy to dwell on these details. He felt his liver aching. "...Three hundred thousand taels is three hundred thousand taels."
He shouldn't have said this to Lu Wanyin.
"Sure, sure."
Lu Wanyin took out a small porcelain bottle about the length of a finger and placed it on the table: "Drink this, and I guarantee you'll be full of energy right away. Also, don't forget to pay the room fee for the past few days before you leave."
Lu Wanyin clapped her hands, feeling satisfied, and turned away.
This trip was well worth it.
In the yard behind him, Mu Linyuan's roar, mixed with the sound of grinding teeth, gradually faded away.
"You're amazing! I, Mu Linyuan, have been called a profiteer for so many years, but you're still the best!"
Mu Linyuan's subordinates watched from the side, feeling a little sorry for their master, "Master."
"Don't talk, I want to be quiet."
Mu Linyuan raised his hand to stop him: "How can there be such a group of people who have no weaknesses at all?"
The fact that Emperor Dasheng seized the merchants' goods without reason caused an uproar.
Countless shops have closed.
Some foreign merchants also temporarily stopped doing business in Dasheng.
Mu Ji, who caused this incident, even closed their shops.
Anyway, Mu Linyuan has been busy with border affairs recently, and his real focus is not here.
Mu Ji's actions took public speculation to a new level.
Even a large trading company like Mu Ji was helpless in the face of the unreasonable behavior of the Da Sheng court.
These little shrimps, why don't they run away or wait to die here?
It's only been a few days.
Seventy percent of the shops in Dasheng are closed.
In this turmoil without the smoke of gunpowder, it is the ordinary people who suffer.
Those who want to sell goods can’t sell them, and those who want to buy things have no shops open.
The people had no choice but to trade privately.
They have no experience in formal businesses and are not sure about prices and other things.
Some think it’s too cheap, while others think it’s too expensive.
In the streets and alleys, you can hear the sound of quarrels almost every few steps.
Lu Wanyin receives similar information every day in Zizai City.
She sighed deeply: "It seems that we must speed up the progress."
There were frequent disturbances in Dasheng.
People who were sent to the wilderness to investigate one after another brought back news that made the emperor shudder.
Zizai City assembled 30,000 soldiers and horses, sweeping across the entire wilderness at a terrifying speed.
Within four months, we will be able to control the entire wilderness.
The emperor was furious and was almost spinning like a top in the Golden Palace.
Those barbarians in the wilderness, even if they were scattered like a pile of sand, were intimidating to people.
If they were united and controlled by one person, that would be terrible.
The emperor couldn't help but shudder: "Good, really good. Wolfish ambitions!"
"I thought they were only after the wild mineral resources and business.
I didn’t expect that they wanted the entire wilderness!”
