Hearing this, the officials standing by the side sneered again, and one of them couldn't help but say, "How many taels of silver can the horse pulling the cart and the camel loading be worth? I'll look at your animals, even if you ask you to mortgage them, see that the amount behind you is not enough. If you don't have any money, you say there is no money. Why bother to make you fat by swelling your face?"

This made Li Zhuang even more embarrassed, but he had to admit that the other party was talking about the truth. The price of horses was indeed high, but it meant that horses could be ridden. The cattle and horses that pulled carts and camels that transported goods were not worth it. Moreover, Datong was a border town, and it was convenient to trade with Mongolian tribes, so there was no shortage of horses. Moreover, in the twelfth lunar month, these animals were not only unable to sell money on their backhand, but also had to consume feed and serve the groom. This mortgage made people unable to make a profit, but it was a loss.

Moreover, the officials brought by the Jinguan Nian were experts in accounting settlements. After they read it, they would have a detailed description. Even if the Li family caravan used livestock to mortgage, it was not enough, and they did not have the allowance of seventy livestock at all.

"Or...or...or buy five hundred taels of silver first...other..." Li Zhuang made another suggestion, but his voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end no one could hear it clearly.

The officials just sneered beside him. They did not dare to offend Zhu Da's customers, but Li Zhuang and the others had inspected the goods too carefully before, and there were many problems. A few sneers were inevitable. Such sneer made Li Zhuang and the managers even more embarrassed.

"Leave five hundred taels as deposit, and leave the remaining more than two hundred taels as flowers on the road. You can transport all these silks and sell them to pay for the goods." Zhu Da said in a deep voice.

After saying this, the audience was quiet. Li Zhuang and the managers looked disbelief. The officials also opened their mouths wide. After reacting, Li Zhuang waved his hands repeatedly and said with shame: "How can this be done? How can this be done?"

"What's ineffective? You are my brother. I believe in you. If you can come here with the goods regardless of risks, then what else am I worried about? You take the goods away and give me the money after they are sold out. I believe in you." Zhu Da said loudly.

Li Zhun's face turned red and trembling and couldn't speak. The old manager next to him was full of emotion and murmured there: "Old boss, please be sure of the person." Li Zhun was excited for a while before calming down, but he spoke with a trembling voice and a crying voice: "Please... please don't worry, Brother Zhu, if you can't bring back the money, you will be struck by lightning and be a cow and horse in the next life..."

Li Zhuang was older than Zhu Da, but at this time he excitedly called Zhu Da brother and sweared there. Zhu Da waved his hand with a smile and said, "No need to make any swearing. You don't have to pay for the money for a while, just wait until the turnover comes. I said I want to make money, and you want to make money too."

At this time, Jin Guannian came over and leaned close with a embarrassed look on his face and said, "Mr. Zhu, let's not pay credit in the end. So many people in the city are staring at this batch of goods. If they can't see the cash, they can't explain when they go back. If they can't get the money for a while, we can transport the goods back..."

When he said this, Jin Guannian was full of anxiety. He was afraid that Zhu Da would get angry. He looked at the refugees who were constantly patrolling the spears and looked at the young policemen who could no longer be called. Jin Guannian had the worst plan. If this Master Zhu really ate the goods, he would have to recognize them.

"They are on credit with me, not on credit with you. I will give you an explanation. I never make it difficult for others to do business." Zhu Da said angrily.

Zhu Da said this, and Jin Guannian could only nod and agreed. When he returned to the crowd, he whispered to Lin Bantu and asked, "If you really want to be angry, can we grab the goods back?"

"I'm afraid I can't beat it. Our group of people can't stand the tough battle. The dozen young people who can fight the best have long been the same as the yamen when they practice in this farm every day." Lin Bantou's face was also ugly and he quietly answered Jin Guannian.

Since that's the case, there is nothing we can do. Everyone can only wait here to see how Zhu Da arranges the next step. No matter what is arranged, he has to accept his fate.

After counting the Qu Si, the Li family caravan moved to his own cart and handed over the deposit of 500 taels of cash silver to Zhu Da as agreed. Li He, who was responsible for counting the silver, couldn't help laughing there. Everyone knew why he laughed, because the five hundred taels of silver was given by Zhu Da, and he turned back in just a few days.

The Li family caravan had moved more than 300 pieces of silk. Although they were very envious of the rest of the goods, they had no money and could do nothing. They wanted to go back and pack up and prepare to set off, but Zhu Da called them to bid and evaluate the other goods and inspect the goods. As a favor as big as before, the Li family caravan naturally followed it.

"......607 twill cotton cloth, each with eight hundred pennies, 270 pairs of cowhide boots, 120 pairs of patterned boots, 600 pairs of patterned pairs, 450 pairs of unpatterned pairs, 580 wooden bowls, 10 pennies, 190 wooden basins, 25 pennies, 40 pennies per pack of medicinal materials, a total of 2,500 packs, 263 lambs, 90 pennies per piece, 170 cowhides, 600 pennies per piece, 300 animal skins, 200 taels of silver, ponytails and horns..."

The Li family caravan has been doing inspection and quotation for many years. They are extremely skilled. Each of them is full of energy and careful. In just half an hour, all the goods were counted and even the approximate quality was checked. The old manager Li Fu also took paper and pen to keep the accounts on site. After the inventory was completed, he began to report the categories and prices of the goods one by one.

"Including the more than 300 pieces of silk, it is a total of 3,557 taels." The old manager finally quoted the total price, and the accounts were settled every day in the Jinguan Nian. When Manager Li reported the numbers, they also came up with the results.

"Thirty-five percent is 1,245 taels in total, 2,45 taels, 2, you go and get them." Zhu Da calculated the number and said.

Jin Guannian, Lin Bantou and others all looked at Zhu Da. They understood what Zhu Da’s “explanation” was going on, but Jin Guannian and several officials from the household house were surprised that Zhu Da actually calculated 35% of the year so quickly. A martial artist did not have the speed of making accounts like this. Even the documents in the household house had to be trained for several years before they could have such mental arithmetic.

Li Zhuang was even more moved when he heard Zhu Da's arrangement. He thought that Zhu Da was making money to make them pay credit, and he was even more grateful, but he couldn't come up with any means of reward at this time. He could only arrange for the managers and friends to carefully examine all the goods, so he could not let Zhu Da suffer any losses.

After Li He took the silver and Jin Guannian took the people to carefully examine it, the scene changed from the embarrassment at the beginning to the joy of everyone. Everyone got what they should get, and it seemed that only Zhu Da was at a loss, but he was also smiling and didn't care. Seeing that it was getting late, those who should set off should be prepared quickly. Those who should be ready to go back to the city were afraid they would be ready to set off.

When everyone was about to say goodbye, Zhu Da called everyone and said loudly: "I can sell enough goods here. Brother Li, I will keep enough of the portion you can eat, but your family can't eat all the goods. You have to help me release the news. The more people you know, the more benefits you will have. Jinguan Nian and Lin Bantu, doing business on my side is fair, and both the buyers and sellers will not suffer any losses. The conditions are set, and the conditions are what you have. Even if you have any goods, the goods of others are the same. If you are prosperous here, you will also have many benefits."

Zhu Da said this, and the Li family caravan and the yamen responded positively. Li Zhu bowed deeply and bowed solemnly and said, "Please rest assured, Brother Zhu, I will spread the benevolence and righteousness of Brother Zhu and the way of making money. Even if my Li family does not do business, I will still......"

"You have to do business and make money, and you won't be in vain." Zhu Da interrupted Li Zhuang with a smile. When he heard this, Li Zhuang was stunned, and then bowed with even more gratitude. Several managers behind him bowed together.

After the Li family finished speaking, Jin Guannian said with a smile: "Please rest assured Mr. Zhu. With this rich money, there are more good products coming next time. Who will be unable to make money?"

Lin Bantuo also patted his chest and said sternly: "Lao Lin, I have never seen someone as good as Mr. Zhu. He is so easy to give to the cash currency. Who wouldn't want to do this business?"

Compared to the full gratitude of the Li family, the officials and servants in the yamen were already very happy, and they were afraid that they would not be able to see their happy appearance during the Chinese New Year and the holidays.

It was almost dark, and the Li family caravan could not set off today, but after transporting the goods, they would go back to prepare and rest early, because they would get up early tomorrow, and everyone in the yamen was in a hurry to return to the city. Everyone present could hear them making an appointment to have a drink to celebrate in the evening.

Zhu Da arranged for servants and refugees to carry the stolen goods brought by the yamen. The Li family caravan took away only a small part. Of course, Zhu Da didn't have to worry about the storage and transportation. He stood there and watched the direction of the officers leaving.

In the eyes of the people in the Tianzhuang, Zhu Da rarely looks like this. Li He, who was counting over there, put down his work and walked over and asked, "Brother, is there anything wrong with it?"

"I thought this goods would be a big sum of money, but I didn't expect that one thousand taels would be taken down. But looking at the happy look of the people in the yamen, I thought that this thousand taels would be a big sum of money." Zhu Da shook his head and said with a smile.
