Chapter 433 Who is your sister-in-law(1/2)
Three hundred people arrived, old and young, men and women, sitting there together.
Some businessmen also wanted to go in and watch. But there were enough 300 people and there was no place for them. Therefore, these merchants spent some money to buy a place from the Guizhou heads and exchanged themselves.
Many Guizhou leaders wanted to watch the excitement, but the excitement was not as real as the real money, so they collected money and changed their seats.
Zhao Teng looked at the transaction amount, which had reached tens of thousands of yuan, and couldn't help feeling a little sad.
Although he is an important official in the court, tens of thousands of dollars are also a considerable amount...
As for Ying Zheng, he also changed into casual clothes and sat behind the curtain with some court officials, waiting to see how Li Shui explained.
Zhao Teng sighed and waved his hands to several yamen runners. The yamen runners stood at the door and refused to allow the people to come in again.
However, the door was not closed, so those people could continue to look inside through the door.
Then, Zhao Teng sat down.
Li Shui and Chun Yu Yue also sat down.
Zhao Teng said to Chunyu Yue a little strangely: "Dr. Chunyu, why do you want to sue Huai Guzi?"
Chunyu Yue was a little helpless. He had already said this for the third time today and was a little annoyed. However, in order to save the people who were sold and to stop this bad atmosphere, Chunyu Yue said it again.
After he finished speaking, Zhao Teng was not doing anything yet. The merchants who were listening could no longer sit still: Exiled Immortal, what are you going to do?
Last time, Shangjun Villa attracted sponsorship, which directly made some small merchants become giants. Such legendary events not only spread throughout Xianyang City, but also throughout Guanzhong, but even merchants in Guandong have heard of them.
These merchants are different from court officials. They have low status and do not have the feeling of being arrogant like court officials. Therefore, they are willing to study the various theories of the exiled immortals and learn their way of thinking.
Soon, they figured out the method of the exiled immortal to attract sponsorship, and were amazed at it.
And this time, they smelled a similar breath. Although they didn't understand how the exiled immortal planned to operate, the merchant's intuition told them that this seemed to be another god-given opportunity.
Zhao Teng looked at Li Shui and said, "Mr. Huai, why don't you tell me, have you trafficked human beings?"
Li Shui said: "First of all, I'm not called selling, you can understand it as renting."
Chunyu Yue next to him sneered: "Can people rent it out? It's ridiculous."
Li Shui spread his hands: "You wait for me to finish."
Chunyu Yue stopped talking.
Li Shui said: "Selling means selling someone means having nothing to do with me after they are sold. And renting means lending to the other party for a period of time, and I will take it back after using it."
Zhao Teng, the inner-sensei, asked: "What is the specific renting method?"
Li Shui said: "In the words of our experts, this is not called rent, it is called endorsement."
Nei Shiteng rubbed his temples and asked casually: "What is endorsement?"
Li Shui patiently explained: "In my Shangjun Villa, there is a gatekeeper named Niudu. This man is smart and very clever. I asked him to be Liu Ji's agent. Well... this agent
, you can understand it as a broker."
"Where is a calf, responsible for Liu Ji's food, clothing, housing and transportation, as well as safety work. By the way, help him contact some businessmen."
"If those merchants are interested in cooperating with Liu Ji, they will find the calf and sign a document with him. It may be three months or half a year. In this document, it specifies in detail what Liu Ji should do during the contract."
"Then, the merchants will give the calf a portion of the money. After the calf deducts food, clothing, housing, transportation, and security costs, the remaining money will be handed over to Liu Ji."
Chunyu Yue said from the side: "Isn't this still a sale? It's just that the days are a little shorter."
Li Shui said helplessly: "This is obviously a hiring, but why did it become a sale? Is there any problem with working for people according to their days, and after finishing their work, I will leave with the money. "
Chunyu Yue said: "Employment is to negotiate the price with the owner, and then leave when you work. Now you are the ones who help others negotiate the price. Can this be the same?"
Li Shui coughed dryly: "Who is Liu Ji? That's a warrior, that's a handsome boy. He went to discuss the price himself? Do you want to be face-saving?"
Chunyu Yue glared and said loudly: "Then you ask him to auction tomorrow. What price will be the best? Will you be able to save face?"
Li Shui coughed dryly, turned slightly, and said to the onlookers: "It's not tomorrow, it's the day after tomorrow. It's the day after tomorrow at noon, and it's held on time at the Exiled Immortal Tower."
The merchants' eyes lit up, and many people immediately recorded them.
Chunyu Yue looked at Li Shui who was shouting loudly and always felt something was wrong.
He said to Li Shui: "Huaiguzi, you answer my husband's question. Do you sell people like goods? Isn't it embarrassing?"
Li Shui coughed dryly: "There is a reason for me to do this. Because endorsement is the first time to create the world. Everyone still doesn't understand the value of Liu Ji and his men. So they can only let merchants go through auctions.
During the period, merchants and Liu Ji touched each other."
"It needs to be like this for the first time. When the endorsement effect comes out in the future, it will naturally not be necessary. The calf is solely responsible."
Chunyu Yue glared, and he suddenly became wise and said, "You are willing to do this, Liu Ji? If Liu Ji disagrees and you force him to do this, it can be considered coercion."
Li Shui said: "Liu Ji is naturally willing."
Chunyu Yue said, "I want evidence."
Li Shui looked at Chunyu Yue with a smile: "What? Lord Chunyu wants me to call Liu Ji over?"
Chunyu Yue didn't know what to do.
He knew that the so-called Liu Ji was actually Xiang Yu, a rebel. There was His Majesty, court officials, and so many people in this place. What if the rebels were gambled and killed innocent people?
But if you don’t bring people in, wouldn’t it be indulging Li Shui to do such things? Today he can sell thieves and tomorrow he can sell others. Who knows who he will sell in the end?
What I fight for today is not the interests of Xiang Yu alone, but the interests of thousands of ordinary people without authority.
Chunyu Yue thought about it and said to Li Shui: "You have always said that you need documents. Then, did you and Liu Ji sign documents?"
Li Shui smiled and said, "It's a coincidence that I have a document. There is also Liu Ji's signature on it."
Then, Li Shui took out a piece of paper from his arms.
It is too simple to get Xiang Yu to agree to this matter. Just say that participating in this kind of activity can increase the favorable impression of the exiled immortal and have a greater chance of being selected as a personal guard.
Xiang Yu and his group were like flies who saw the toilet, and rushed over without even reading the documents carefully, and immediately signed the documents.
Chunyu Yue read the document carefully three times, but in the end he had nothing to say.
Li Shui turned his head and said to Zhao Teng with a smile: "Sir, do you think this is considered a seller?"
Zhao Teng hesitated for a while, turned his head and looked behind the curtain.
Soon, a servant came over and whispered in Zhao Teng's ear: "Sir, what Your Majesty means is that it is not considered selling people. It is reasonable to do business with a broker."
Zhao Teng nodded and said to Li Shui: "It's just a broker, not a plunder and a slave. Dr. Chunyu, you misunderstood this time."
Li Shui said with a smile: "My Lord Nei Shi will make a decision."
Zhao Teng nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly heard the people whispering, and many people were talking: "Look, look, I'll just say it's okay? The exiled immortal and the inner-shistor are close friends, how could it be possible
What's wrong?"
Zhao Teng's face suddenly collapsed.
Li Shui cleared his throat and said to Zhao Teng: "Dr. Chunyu, although it is a false accusation, I don't plan to pursue him anymore. After all, he is worried about the country and the people, and he is indignant for a moment."
Zhao Teng said oh, thinking: I didn't plan to pursue him either. Anyone who sues you is a warrior, and it's too late to praise you, so what else can I pursue?
Chunyu Yue was a little disappointed. Huai Guzi actually escaped from the crime? He was so simple to escape from the crime?
In fact, after Li Shui's explanation, Chunyu Yue also felt that Li Shui's behavior seemed not to be a plundering of the population. But he was always a little unwilling to accept it.
At this moment, Chunyu Yue heard several onlookers nearby saying, "Did you see, I have said a long time ago that Dr. Chunyu and the Exiled Immortal are their own people. Now it proves what I said?"
Chunyu Yue almost fainted: Are he and I my own people? It's an insult to me.
Someone next to him didn't believe it and asked the merchant: "How is that possible? If Dr. Chunyu was a banished immortal, how could he sue the banished immortal?"
The merchant said, "First, Dr. Chunyu was a false accusation this time. But the exiled immortal did not hold him accountable. Secondly, they were not really complaining, they were a plan."
The man next to him asked curiously: "What does it mean?"
The merchant said, "Did you know before that the exiled immortal is going to auction Liu Ji?"
The man next to him shook his head.
The merchant said, "I'm afraid not many people in Xianyang City know about it. But now? How long do you think this news will take to spread throughout Xianyang City?"
The man next to him said, "One or two is enough. The great scholar sued the exiled immortal, and this kind of news must be spread quickly."
The merchant nodded: "That's right. In this way, the auction day after tomorrow will be crowded with people? When merchants from all over the country arrive, you bid and I will also bid. Then won't Liu Ji's price go up?
”
The man next to him suddenly realized, nodded in conscience, and said to the merchant: "No wonder you can make a fortune. This brain is really extraordinary."
The merchant sighed and said with great emotion: "I? I am not as strong as one ten thousandth of the banished immortal."
The man next to him nodded: "Yes, who can think of this clever method in the world? Even if someone can think of it, who has such a great face as an exiled immortal? You can invite Dr. Chunyu to come.
Acting in this play?”
When Chunyu Yue heard this, he felt that his heart couldn't stand it.
He looked around in great grief and found that the onlookers were all looking at him with a mysterious smile on his face.
He looked at Ying Zheng's direction again, as if through the curtain, he saw His Majesty and the court officials suddenly realize their enlightenment, and his smile seemed to be a smile.
Chunyu Yue murmured in a low voice: "I? Am I acting with Huai Guzi? I don't, I really don't, this is a trap..."
To be continued...
