Looking at Cao Xiu, who was naturally confident, Qin Shihuang was speechless for a moment. He didn't know whether to praise Cao Xiu or scold him.
Cao Xiu is so sincere!
Mixing water into wine can also be divided into good and bad. The good mix is called mixing wine, and the bad mix is called selling fake wine to deceive people. What Cao Xiu hates the most is those selling fake wine, which is simply ruining his business!
Cao Xiu became angry when he mentioned this.
Yesterday he got news that the wine sold by Wang Yuwufugu didn't taste right. Several regular customers in Luyou were complaining, saying that there must be water in it.
Their wine is all sold by Cao Xiu!
The millet wine brewed by Cao Xiu has a mellow taste and overflowing aroma. Therefore, it is quite famous in Peixian County. Even the magistrate of Peixian County requested this millet wine by name when celebrating his birthday. Businessmen from all over the place would have a drink at the wine shop when passing by. If Wang Wuwu mixed it with wine, wouldn't it ruin the reputation he worked so hard to build?
When he goes out to hang out in the future, what will the chickens in Pei County think of him?
What do the ducks in Pei County think of him?
If he hadn't been delayed by Azheng, he would have come yesterday!
"Captain Pavilion, calm down, we understand our mistake!"
Mrs. Wang tremblingly kowtowed and admitted her mistake.
"We are forced to do this because we have no choice."
"how?"
The warrior woman raised her head, her eyes filled with tears.
Don't sympathize with them just because they are older. These businessmen are the best at pretending to be pitiful. They can't say or do anything for money. Don't think that you have done something wrong just because they squeezed out a few tears.
Apart from anything else, the warrior wife Wang Lao has made a lot of money these years. The sales volume of Cao Xiuniang's wine is very good, and the daily business of the wine shop is quite good. As middlemen, they can make a lot of money. Even so, she still looked very poor in the jade hairpin skirt.
How can a really poor person have the ability to open a wine shop?
"Although business has been good these days, some people are cheating on their bills. Liu Ji, for example, owes a lot. Seeing that we were about to pay the pavilion chief, we thought of this way and thought about going inside. Mix it with water and sell it for more money.”
"Is this Liu Laosan?"
Cao Xiu suddenly frowned and frowned.
The warrior woman quickly took out the bonds, which were all made of bamboo slices. They were also engraved with time, drink money, and Liu Ji's name.
"The pavilion master doesn't know that Liu Ji's family is extraordinary and we can't afford to offend him. He always gets drunk and makes us keep accounts. Every time he comes here, there are these bad debts."
"Repaying debts is a matter of course!" Qin Shihuang said coldly from the side, "If he doesn't pay back, you can come to him. If you report him to the local stingy man, he will definitely be punished."
"Give me this bond."
Cao Xiu calmly accepted the bond.
Wang Yuwu's wife was not talking nonsense. Liu Ji was also a well-known figure in Peixian County. After all, my grandfather was the former magistrate of Fengyi. Peixian County used to belong to the border area between Wei and Chu. Liu Ji was influenced by the cultures of the two countries and had a Chu style. After hearing about the deeds of Lord Xinling of Wei State, he admired him so much that he even ran to follow him.
Unfortunately, by the time he arrived, Lord Xinling was already dead, and his subsequent friendship with Zhang Er was not mentioned. Just the fact that Liu Ji could study with Lu Wan when he was young and travel when he grew up is enough to prove that the Liu family is not simple.
In fact, the Liu family is a bit like a local snake in Peixian County. For example, Liu Ji's half-brother Liu Jiao was able to become a disciple of Xunzi's disciple Fu Qiubo.
Liu Ji has martial arts skills and is also good at law and order. If he hadn't been beaten by Cao Xiu in the last exam, the position of the Pavilion Chief of Surabaya would have been his. His personality was free and open-minded and he made many friends in Pei County, such as Lu Wan, who was born on the same day as him, and Ren Ao, who served as a jailer.
This is Liu Ji, not a simple old gangster.
Of course, this guy is indeed an LSP.
Not only is she lustful, but she is also old!
"Xiu'er, forget it." Xiao He stood up and said calmly: "I will pay back the money Liu Ji owes for him."
"That won't work. Whoever owes you will pay for it." Cao Xiu refused directly, "Sister-in-law, you have helped him more than once. Liu Ji's debt is owed to me, so that can't be done!"
Cao Xiu would not coddle Liu Ji just because he was the future Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty, and he would not coddle Liu Ji if it touched on his interests. Even the King of Heaven would not coddle him.
Seeing him like this, Xiao He could only nod helplessly.
Before meeting Cao Xiu, Xiao He had some friendship with Liu Ji. After all, they are all from Peixian County, and Xiao He feels that Liu Ji is a noble minister and will definitely succeed in the future, so he takes more care of them. Once Liu Ji made a mistake, Xiao He used his power to correct him.
But everything changed after Cao Xiu appeared, and Xiao He became more and more displeased with Liu Ji. Regardless of talent or virtue, Cao Xiu was able to hang Liu Ji up and beat him.
Therefore, Xiao He stopped trying to dissuade him this time.
"Apart from these debts, what about the rest?"
"Here it is..."
Wang Lao quickly took out several dustpans made of straw from the back, which were full of golden copper coins! The moment it was taken out, it shone brightly, even Xiao He took a second look.
The quality of these copper coins may be good or bad, but you can't pick and choose, because this is expressly prohibited by Qin Law!
Apart from anything else, Cao Xiu’s ability to make money is really great!
Looking at the two children again, Xiao He's brows suddenly furrowed.
With so much money, these two kids don't even look at it? !
Qin Shihuang didn't take it seriously at all.
This dustpan is 1,000 yuan, which is a lot for ordinary people, but how can he take it seriously? Copper coins are only the lower currency, while gold is the upper currency. He usually rewards ministers in terms of one hundred yi gold.
How could he value a mere few thousand dollars?
"Here, take this money with you."
Cao Xiu took out the robe and asked Ah Zheng and Azheng to carry the money.
"How dare you ask me to carry money?!"
"Can you carry it?"
"Don't carry it!"
"Sure, go ahead and wish yourselves good luck."
"Cough cough cough...I'll carry it!"
Wang Jian spoke quickly with tears in his eyes. There are four thousand coins here... One coin from Qin weighs half a tael, which adds up to 125 kilograms, almost as much as a stone. If it had been before, he wouldn't have cared about it even if it cost four or five stones, but now how could he carry it on the body of an eight-year-old child? !
He has more than enough ambition but not enough energy!
Wang Jian hummed as he picked up the robe, breathing heavily with every step he took. In the end, Qin Shihuang couldn't stand it anymore and had no choice but to help.
"His Majesty……"
"It's out of the way."
Qin Shihuang sighed softly.
The two of them are like this now, and there is no other way.
Whether he can return to Xianyang depends on Cao Xiu.
"Azheng, what did you understand today?"
Qin Shihuang looked at Cao Xiu and stopped, "You want to tell me that you can't just take everything at face value."
What he saw today benefited him a lot.
Cao Xiu frowned, "No, no, no, I want to tell you that you must listen to me in everything from now on, and don't argue with me if nothing happens. Otherwise, you will definitely get some juice from you!"
"???"
Qin Shihuang stared.
The good feeling that finally arose in my heart disappeared in an instant!
Is your boy in need of a fight? !
