Li Shui smiled at these merchants: "Don't be anxious, everyone, this is a big deal. I can't guarantee you whether it can make money. You can go home and discuss it with your wife, and then come back after discussing it."

"Otherwise, if the money is lost, even if you don't blame me, your wife will probably feel a little uncomfortable."

Those merchants all said: "Don't worry, I will banish the immortal. Our whole family respects the banished immortal as if they are gods. How can we blame him?"

Li Shui smiled and said, "Let's ask. In three days, we will still meet at the Immortal Exile Tower. At that time, we will sign documents and deliver the money."

The vendors all responded.

Before leaving, they asked again: "If we want to borrow Liu Ji to attract customers, how much will it cost to banish the immortal? With the price, we can discuss it after we get home."

Li Shui smiled: "The price will be decided on the day when the peace treaty is signed. I have already thought about it. Calculated according to the hour, one hour is one hundred Qin and a half liang."

The vendors' eyes lit up: "So cheap?"

Li Shui waved his hand and continued: "Don't worry, these one hundred and a half taels are just the starting price, the lowest price of the auction. When the time comes, you will bid against each other, and the one with the highest price will win."

Vendors, you look at me, I look at you, and suddenly you have a sudden realization.

They were all in business, so they naturally understood what Li Shui meant.

These people lowered their heads and pondered for a while, and all gave thumbs up: "The ability to banish an immortal is unpredictable, and we will never be able to achieve it."

Li Shui grinned.

The traders said goodbye and left. On the way home, these people bowed their heads in silence and fell into deep thought.

"The one with the highest price gets it? In this way, the price is not set by the banished immortals, but actually by us. How much should I pay to rent Liu Ji? If the price is too low, I will definitely not be able to rent it.

This person was overtaken by others. If the price is too high, he will lose money. The key is, we still don’t know how much profit Liu Ji can bring."

Along the way, the vendors were almost out of their minds. They sighed one after another: "The banished immortal is indeed a banished immortal. This understatement made us think hard. It's high, it's really high."

In the Banished Immortal Tower, Li Shui poured himself a glass of wine with great satisfaction, and then began to draft, thinking about how to sign a contract with Xiang Yu.

At this time, Wujiao came up and said with a smile: "Sir, I have been with you for a long time, and I have finally learned your three skills."

Li Shui looked at him in confusion: "What?"

Wujiao looked proud: "This slave has already guessed the master's thoughts."

Li Shui looked at Wujiao in surprise and thought: I want to open a brokerage company and make Xiang Yu famous. Have you guessed such a thing? You have a very bright mind.

However, Wu Jiao said: "My lord's plan must be to secretly send a person to pretend to be a merchant and hide among the vendors on the day Liu Ji is rented out, and then raise the price as high as possible.

Then he deliberately lost to one of the traders. In this way, he squeezed out a lot of money."

Li Shui: "..."

You have been with me for so long, and have you learned this? Are my three talents used to deceive and deceive?

Li Shui stood up, patted Wu Jiao on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "When doing business, you have to be kind."

Wu Jiao glanced at him with an ambiguous look: "I understand, I made a fortune quietly, but I said I was benevolent and righteous. Exiled Immortal, did I get your true inheritance?"

Li Shui kicked him: "Get out of here. What a fart."

Wujiao said happily: "Okay." Then he went downstairs happily.

Li Shui sat back and sighed: "Isn't it a gentleman if someone doesn't know something but doesn't feel embarrassed? Isn't it sad that the whole world is turbulent and I am the only one who is pure?"

Li Xin suddenly covered his mouth: "I can't, it's too sore, my teeth are going to fall."

Li Shui rolled his eyes: "Brother Li, how can you, a rough old man like you, understand the character of a scholar?"

Li Xin chuckled: "Brother Huai, there are no outsiders here, why do you have to hide it? Are you considered a scholar? I think when you first came to Xianyang City, you didn't know the words. You are laughing at the fifty steps.

.”

Li Shui said proudly: "That was before."

Li Xin picked up the wine glass: "Really? Then I want to test you. There are four ways to write the word "jiu" for this drink, do you know?"

Li Shui: "..."

Li Xin said with a smile: "You run a restaurant, maybe you will be able to use it in the future. Let me teach you the first one, Qi Ren writes about wine like this..."

Li Shui was suddenly so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes.

Seeing Li Shui's lack of interest, Li Xin sighed regretfully.

At this time, Wujiao came up with a fat-headed man.

He smiled evilly at Li Shui: "Sir, I have found someone, take a look, are you satisfied?"

Li Shui looked at Wujiao in confusion. For a moment, he even felt that he had lost his memory.

He slowly turned his head, glanced at Li Xin, and asked doubtfully: "Did I ask him to find someone?"

Li Xin said: "It seems not."

Wu Jiao laughed dryly: "How long have you been with Banished Immortal? I have already figured out what Banished Immortal wants. As soon as Banished Immortal pouts, I will know that..."

When Wu Jiao said this, he suddenly stopped, and then said with a dry smile: "Excuse me for banning the immortal, it's because I'm a vulgar servant."

Before Li Shui could speak, Wujiao quickly introduced the man, as if to change the subject.

He patted the man's generous shoulder: "This man's name is Huang You, and he is Huang Niu's cousin."

Li Shui looked at him in surprise: "I know Huang Niu. You are lean and lean. Why are you so fat? Could it be that your family is rich?"

Huang You smiled honestly: "I am a butcher in my family. Although I am not very rich, I can still eat a bowl of food. From time to time, I can add a little meat, so I am fatter."

Li Shui exclaimed: "That's it."

Wu Jiao said: "My lord, do you think that by putting this man's clothes on, he looks like a merchant?"

Li Shui was stunned: "You can't be..."

Wu Jiao nodded vigorously, as if he was in tune with Li Shui.

Li Shui said to Huang You with a pleasant look: "You go out and wait for a while, and let Mr. Cang below prepare some food for you."

Huang You's eyes suddenly lit up and he left happily.

This is the food and wine of Banished Immortal House. How can a lowly butcher’s son like me enjoy it? It’s really a life worth living.

After Huang You went downstairs, Li Shui walked up to Wu Jiao and said, "Have you told him everything?"

Wu Jiao smiled: "Not yet. However, how can he not agree to this kind of thing? As long as the banished immortal nods, I will immediately give him orders. Three days later, during the auction, he will be confused and make a big splash."

Li Shui kicked Wujiao hard: "I have already said that you must be kind in doing business. Do you think my words fall on deaf ears?"

Wu Jiao was stunned for a long time, and then said aggrievedly: "I thought... this was irony."

Li Xin, who was next to him, laughed so hard: "Brother Huai, you are used to being shameless, but once in a while you have a conscience, no one will believe you."

Li Shui was about to cry: This evil old society...

He patiently said to Wu Jiao: "There is a word called killing the goose to get the eggs. Do you understand what this means?"

Wujiao hummed.

Li Shui said: "For rent, Xiang Yu is an old hen that lays eggs. As long as he is carefully raised, he can lay hundreds or even thousands of eggs in his life. You killed this chicken for a small profit. Isn't this a disease?

?”

Wujiao scratched his head: "What you mean by banishing the immortal is that Xiang Yu will be auctioned in the future?"

Li Shui nodded: "As long as the results are good this time, vendors will definitely sign up enthusiastically."

Wu Jiao nodded and said with a look of shame on his face: "The banished immortal is profound and unpredictable, but I am stupid and didn't understand it."

Li Shui said: "It doesn't matter, as long as you remember the four words of treating people with sincerity, you will not make a mistake."

Wujiao nodded seriously.

Li Shui added: "There will be a court meeting tomorrow. Let's do this. You send a person to Chunyu Yue's house to spread some news, saying that this immortal is bullying others and wants to rob innocent men from innocent families and sell them as slaves.

"

Wu Jiao was startled: "This...why is this? Why are you causing trouble for yourself, sir?"

Li Shui said: "This is called hype. If you want to make someone famous, how can you do it if you don't create some popularity?"

Wu Jiao looked confused: "I still don't understand."

Li Shui said: "Then let's do it first. If you do it once, you will understand everything. This is called practice to produce true knowledge."

Wu Jiao chewed on Li Shui's words and became more and more awed in his heart: What he said about banishing the immortal was so precise.

…………

Chunyu Yue is preparing for the content of the court tomorrow, including the national economy and people's livelihood, Confucian etiquette... One by one, there are many things to report to His Majesty.

At this moment, he saw the housekeeper Chun Yujia and ran in in a panic.

Chunyu Yue frowned: "What kind of behavior do you have?"

Chunyu Jia quickly slowed down his pace and said unhurriedly: "Yes."

Chunyu Yue asked calmly: "What's the matter?"

Chunyu Jia said: "The servant guarding the back door has a close friend who sells dog meat on the street. And this dog meat seller has another close friend who works as a waiter at Barley Pastry."
