Li Yang didn't bring that much money with him when he went out, so he could only pay in advance.
The son of the rich Chen family shook his head and gestured again, "It's not five hundred thousand taels."
If it's not five hundred thousand taels, it's five million taels. Isn't this asking for a sky-high price?
Li Yang smiled and replied: "I heard that Chen Fu's family used to be the richest man in this village because there was a prodigal son in the family who lost a lot of money at the gambling house. Now the family is almost ruined. These things It shouldn't be worth five million taels, but you want so much money, maybe you want to take it away and go gambling again?"
"nonsense."
"My lord, this is a business. You need something. I'll sell it here. So why not if I want five million taels?"
"That's right. It's a business. There's buying and selling. If you don't need a lot of money, we won't buy it at worst."
Li Yang planned to leave first. Naturally, he couldn't give the money to him. If he wanted to give it, he would have to give it to Mr. Chen Fu.
"Don't leave. If you think it's too much, I'll give you a cheaper price. Three million taels is enough, right?"
Just now it was five million taels, but now it has become three million taels. It can be seen how much he wants to collect this money.
No matter how much money he spent, he would not give it to this prodigal son. What if the old man of the Chen family came back and refused to count.
"Two million taels is enough, right?" The son of the wealthy Chen family gestured at the number again.
"One million taels?" Seeing that Li Yang ignored him, he became anxious, "Do you want it or not? If it doesn't work out, I'll take the five hundred thousand taels you said."
He had no choice but to compromise and take another gamble with his money. He didn't believe he couldn't win.
Li Yang thought it was reasonable, and when he was about to pay, a group of people kicked open the door of Chen Fu's house.
Several people looked like hooligans at first glance, but one of them was dressed decently.
"Chen Xiaofu, come out here."
"When will you repay the money you owe me to the gambling house? Today is the last day. If you still don't repay the money, be careful with your fingers."
I saw him taking 500,000 taels and running to pay back the money.
"Don't worry, Butler Zhao, I have money here."
Butler Zhao from the gambling house opened his money pocket and looked inside. After a rough count, he felt something was wrong, "There are only 500,000 taels here. You owe me three million taels, so you just use this money to send me away?"
As he said this, he took out a sharp long knife and placed it on the stone table, "Hold him down and let him taste the pain today."
Chen Xiaofu knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Have mercy on me. I only have so much money. If it's not enough, please give me a few more days, and I will definitely pay it back to you."
"How many days of grace? Haven't I ever given you grace?"
I saw another man holding a long knife and about to chop it down.
At this critical moment, Li Yang came out and said, "Let him go, do you still have the law?"
"Wang Fa? He should pay back his debts. Stop meddling in other people's business." Butler Zhao said coldly.
"As far as I know, your gambling house often has crooks who deliberately make people owe huge debts. Not only that, you also do some dirty pawns behind your back. Because there is no evidence, the court did not arrest you. Today is the evidence."
Butler Zhao's expression changed drastically, "Who are you?"
"I am from the imperial court, let him go as soon as possible."
Li Yang felt that the Chen Fu family was incredible. They could dig out a whole house's worth of copper. This copper had also undergone special treatment, otherwise it would not be like this.
If we can cooperate with the Chen family, then copper will be secured in the future.
"Do not believe?"
Li Yang showed his sign to show his identity.
When several people saw it, they rolled and crawled and tried to escape.
"Wait, what about the money he owes you?"
"No, sir, how can you prove that Chen Xiaofu was blackmailed by me?" Butler Zhao was just too scared to run away, but was almost bluffed by Li Yang.
Li Yang replied calmly: "The Chen family is an accountant, and they used to do accounting. Chen Xiaofu inherited this talent. Why did he become obsessed with gambling? It was precisely because he could calculate the points, so why did he fail? And he also has a very strong ear. He lost twice in a row and couldn't find any flaws, so he was forced to owe three million silver taels. You still say that you are not a cheater?"
As soon as these words came out, Butler Zhao felt guilty.
Chen Xiaofu suddenly realized, "Let me tell you, I calculated only three points at that time, and it turned out that there was a starting point, and there must be something wrong with the sieve."
"You pay me back the silver."
"I am unlucky today, but the money I spent will never be refunded."
When they were about to go out, they were stopped by several people.
The people who stopped them were Yan Qi and Hao Liu. The two of them cooperated tacitly and directly detained Butler Zhao's head.
Butler Zhao screamed in pain and handed over the money in desperation.
Hao Liu took back the silver and several people were thrown to the ground.
"You guys, just wait for me." Butler Zhao escaped with his people.
"General Li, this is five hundred thousand taels of silver."
"Just think of it as a lesson today. It's better not to be deceived again in the future."
Chen Xiaofu was so moved that he burst into tears, "Thank you, sir."
At this time, Mr. Chen Fu came out. He coughed twice as soon as he went out, "You loser, you are embarrassed outside."
He hit Chen Xiaofu several times with a cane.
"Dad, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again next time."
Mr. Chen sighed softly, "If the officials hadn't saved you, you would have been bullied by them long ago."
"Yes, my son will listen to your teachings from now on."
"Sir, you need these materials. If you need them, I will supply them in the future and ensure that you meet your needs."
Li Yang smiled and replied: "That's great. We need these materials for a long time. If we dig up any in the future, we will send it to our camp."
Mr. Chen nodded, "No problem."
Li Yang directed them to transport this batch of materials.
Then we returned to the camp, but we still needed to take care of it.
Once the bullet was formed, Li Yang couldn't wait to test it.
Sure enough, I knocked off a fruit in the distance.
"Yes, that's it. You succeeded."
However, these things still need to be produced in larger quantities, and it is only a sample at the moment.
The news soon spread to the palace.
Early morning.
"The world is not peaceful and there are many wars. We have to improve our abilities."
"Your Majesty, it occurred to you that our General Li has already started to take action. Not only has he selected special elite soldiers, but he has also made very powerful weapons. I heard that he can annihilate as many as ten thousand enemies."
As soon as these words came out, all the adults were shocked.
"How many thousands of people! This is impossible, I have never heard of it."
"What adults know about are cold weapons, but General Li has developed hot weapons. If adults don't believe it, you can go and take a look."
"This is real?"
"Is there hope for me, Dayan?"
"It can't be just a rumor."
