Chapter 8 Lobbyists



Unexpectedly, Luo Wu agreed so readily.

"This is a small matter. Let's put it this way. From today on, I will let the tribesmen graze at your side during the day, and arrange for ten people to live by the river at night. This way you should be able to rest assured."

Wang Zheng nodded, bowed, and thanked him: "I'm sorry to bother you, Chief Luo. If you need my help in the future, I will definitely help you."

Wang Zheng had just arrived and didn't have any strong relationships with others. Regarding the Pueraria powder, others had already thanked him generously and were willing to help him now. This was a favor, so Wang Zheng naturally had to make certain promises.

With the Ba people guarding them day and night, nothing happened in the next few days, and four or five days passed in a flash.

When the king was playing with the puppy out of boredom, Zhang San ran over and said, "Master, the man named Cheng Bokang you mentioned before has come as promised, and he brought a carriage with him. Do you want to let him in?"

Wang Zheng thought for a moment and said, "We don't have anything to offer him here, so we won't let him in. Bring your things with you and let's go out and trade with him."

Then he said to Wang Zheng: "I want to talk to you alone."

Cheng Bokang smiled and nodded, "The island owner is very generous, so let's handle it one by one from now on."

Wang Zheng did not get too close. He stopped thirty steps away and shouted, "Sir, who are you? What do you want to see me for?"

In the next month, Wang Zheng traded with Cheng Bokang six times and accumulated nearly 100,000 copper coins, and everything was safe and sound.

This really is fooling me like a child!

The man in the carriage said, "Come up and talk to me. This is your territory. What are you afraid of?"

By the time Wang Zheng had packed himself up, Zhang San and Li Si had already packed the yellow paper into bamboo baskets and tied them to both sides of the horse's back.

That day, Zhang San came hurriedly to report that there was someone outside with a badge from the Ye Ting Bureau, looking for Wang Zheng by name.

You are mixed up with the Ba people. The local county magistrate has sued you, saying that you are colluding with the Ba people with ill intentions.

Wang Zheng thought that he was overly suspicious and no one was targeting him. However, Wang Zheng wanted to be prepared, so he made a lot of small gadgets for self-defense, and also prepared some equipment for Zhang San and Li Si.

Four hundred kilograms and eighty thousand sheets of yellow paper would require more than eleven thousand copper coins, but Cheng Bokang only brought copper coins for three hundred kilograms of yellow paper, which was the number Wang Zheng had agreed on with him last time.

The carriage door curtain was lifted, revealing the interior of the carriage. A middle-aged man with a clean complexion was sitting inside. He looked at Wang Zheng with a gloomy expression and said, "Can I come up and talk to you now?"

Zhang San nodded, "I understand. I'll get ready right away."

Wang Zheng nodded, walked forward, bowed and asked, "May I ask who you are, sir, and what do you want to see me about?"

After the transaction, the two sides exchanged a few words and Cheng Bokang left with the goods.

The people in the carriage did have shrill voices, most likely they were from the palace.

Wang Zheng couldn't help but twitch his cheeks and asked, "So what do you think I should do now?"

Wang Zheng sneered and shouted, "Sir, you are wrong. I am just looking at the dog. How can I say that this is my territory? Sir, if you ask me to come forward, shouldn't I show my true face first?"

Wang Zheng asked somewhat unhappily: "Are you here just to show off to me?"

If I hadn't helped you stop the incident because of my friendship with your father, I'm afraid someone would have come to arrest you by now."

Cheng Bokang smiled and waved his hands, saying, "Hahaha, it's okay. I didn't come here to be a guest. The island owner is not willing to entertain guests. I understand. I just want to trade with the island owner. This is what I want to do here."

Wang Zheng stepped forward, bowed and said, "The island is simple and inconvenient to entertain guests. I hope Mr. Cheng will understand my negligence."

Cheng Bokang actually had some silver on hand, but at this moment he smiled and said, "Master, look at what has happened. If I had known you had so many goods, I would have brought more copper coins."

The middle-aged man in the carriage first instructed the attendants and the driver, "Stay away and wait."

Wang Zheng also smiled and said, "Just give me the money for the three hundred kilograms of yellow paper first, and you can take all the things with you. The copper money for the three hundred kilograms of yellow paper will be used as deposit. You can use it to settle the payment for the goods next time. What do you think, Mr. Cheng?"

After listening to Zhang San's description, Wang Zheng hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said, "Then let's go meet the eunuch and see what his intentions are."

When Wang Zheng brought Zhang San and Li Si to the river bank, they saw a coachman driving a carriage parked on the side of the road, and two warriors with swords and bows guarding on both sides of the carriage.

The so-called "there is nothing good to entertain" was just an excuse. The truth was that it was not convenient to let Cheng Bokang come in and see how the yellow paper was made.

After everyone left and only Wang Zheng was left in the field, the middle-aged man in the carriage said, "My name is Uncle Wan'an, and I am the manager of the imperial farm in Bazhou. Although my position is equivalent to yours, my imperial farm is a hundred times larger than yours."

Wang Zheng brought Zhang San and Li Si to the river bank and saw Cheng Bokang standing in front of the carriage, looking at him with a smile.

Wang Zheng smiled and said, "That's great. I've brought the stuff to Mr. Cheng. Let's do the deal right away."

"The other person should be a eunuch. He looks like a man dressed in a man's clothing, but his voice is high-pitched, his movements are delicate, his face is white, and he has a strong fragrance on his body."

Seven or eight Ba people who were grazing nearby came over and surrounded the carriage vigilantly with weapons.

Wan Shuan was stunned, then said with a look of deep sorrow: "Of course not, I am just telling the truth, we are here to save your life, you are new here and don't know the rules.

Wan Shuan hesitated for a moment and said directly: "Forget it. Since I have a good relationship with your father, I will show you a way. As long as you offer the method of making yellow paper, our family will help you settle the matter. How about it?"

Wang Zheng shook his head and said, "Not very good."

Wan Shuan was stunned again, and subconsciously asked: "Why?"

Wang Zheng sneered, "No reason, I don't want to. Go back to where you came from. You are embarrassing yourself."

After Wang Zheng finished speaking, he walked away on his own. It was so unlucky to meet a lunatic. He was so careful just now, thinking that a person had come, but he didn't expect it to be such a thing.
