Chapter 154 30,000
What should I do? Whether to continue to be a coward, humiliately explain to everyone, refuse the gift of 10,000 taels of silver, or push the boat like a hero, take this huge property and become a hero, even if it won't last long.
It was not until this time that Ximen Qing found that he was a cowardly person. He realized that what he desperately thought about in his mind was how to remove all the silver, and then avoid the head-on conflict with Wu Song and escape directly from the sky. Even with so much money, it doesn't matter whether you go to join the army or not. You can go to the capital, or some other big cities, spend the world, and enjoy whatever you want. Why do you have to go outside to be a bitter soldier? Ten thousand taels of silver can open a super-large brothel somewhere. The girls in the brothel can play with me. I don't have to spend money if I am the boss. I can also ** how they pick up guests.
This is Ximen Qing's real idea. After he found that he thought so, he despised himself very much. How can a man do this? Although it is the instinct and duty of a businessman to pursue benefits and avoid risks, Ximen Qing also understands that not everything in the world can be measured by the value concept of buyers and sellers. Some of them are beyond equivalent exchange and profit. The names of heroes are priceless and transmitted are priceless. In other words, it is priceless for a good man to go to the world.
Ximenqing understands that he is a person who is unwilling to choose. Many times, the only reason why he makes a choice is only because the external environment forces him. In fact, today, in front of everyone, Ximenqing has no second choice.
These people seem to see that Ximen Qing wants to retreat. They have been saying good words, singing praise songs, and praising Ximen Qing. Ximen Qing has never heard so many praises in his life. For the first half of his life, a few praises have also happened in **, and his heart is in his heart Expanding, his blood is also surging.
What about him? Let's promise first. The money is not a biting hand. Besides, it's 10,000 taels, 10,000 taels! Not to mention biting my hand, even if I cannibald people, I didn't come to the door. As for whether to be the enemy of Wu Song or not, this matter can be discussed. Even if I fight with Wu Song and come to a failed end, this 10,000 taels is enough for me to retreat completely.
Yanggu, in total, is such a big place. Wu Song is not bullshit when he comes out of Yanggu, but the silver is different. As long as I go out of Yanggu, I have 10,000 taels of silver, not to mention a Wu Song, 100 Wu Song's lives are enough. There are many greedy and ruthless losers in this world. These ignorant people, no wonder they can only do some small business in Yanggu County. No wonder they can only eat and drink at Xijiang Tea House. I understand that they don't go to Guihua Tower, just to discuss something unfavorable to the martial arts family here. These poor people even have the courage to resist. No, they even said I don't have the courage to come. Aren't I much braver than them? Am I a hero among their group?
It must be.
Ximenqing figured out the joints. He stood up straight. In the years before his life, Ximenqing never felt that he had been so straight. He is like a tall oak tree, standing in front of a low bush.
"I am very moved by your trust in Ximenqing. It is not only the responsibility of the government, but also the responsibility of us men to punish evil and promote good and maintain the safety of one party. Since everyone looks at me like this and generously gives money, I, Ximenqing, will not refuse. Please see how I do this. A big scar fell off his head and stood up to the sky. He didn't live in vain. What Ximen Qing thought about at this time was the heroes who died generously in the play. How did they lighten life and death, value righteousness, stand on the side of justice, punish evil and promote good, and their deeds have been recited for generations.
"Good!" The scene shouted hello together.
"This little brother, I just heard you say that your surname is Ximen, right? Where do you live?" The lady suddenly opened her mouth, and as soon as her voice came out, the scene became quiet.
Where is my home? Ximen Qing was confused for a moment. Why did he ask me where I live? Looking at this, he has already remembered my name. Is it possible that he has fallen in love with me and is going to climb into my bed at night? Although she is old, this charm is really unmatched by many young girls. Well, if she really wants to come, can't I still refuse her? It is said that a woman, thirty is like a wolf and forty is like a tiger. I don't know how she can become a tiger and a wolf.
Ximenqing thought wildly and casually replied, "I live behind my own shop. The shop is not far from here, and it is also on the West Street. The West Street Pharmacy is operating. But of course, as I said earlier, my shop is now on the outside market, and I have decided to serve the country and eliminate harm for the people. In fact, Ximen Qing's words mean that if you want to climb my bed, you have to hurry up. In a few days, I will join the army. If you want to find someone, you can't find it.
"The little woman wrote it down." The lady smiled and said, "There are a total of 12,000 taels of silver here. I just paid attention to it. Almost everyone here wants to give their own money to Ximen. It doesn't need to say that this silver is yours. Of course, there may be some people here who don't want to give silver to Simon. It doesn't matter. They can still ask me for it. I will take out extra silver and give it to you. In addition, outside the Ximen, this 12,000 taels was given to you by everyone here. Today, I heard a lot of your opinions, felt that Mao was suddenly open, and listened to your ambitions and ambitions for the country and the people. I felt extremely moved. I don't want to say anything about the little woman, but it really seems too rude. However, when I went out to Yanggu this time, I didn't bring much cash on my body, and the things my husband's instructions to me were not completely completed, so I took action and asked Ximen not to laugh. The woman pondered for a moment: "Well, I gave 18 thousand taels to Ximen, and collected 12,000 taels, a total of 30,000 taels of silver. It will be sent to the mansion outside Ximen before lighting tonight.
The lady said, and she was blessed.
30,000 taels! Ximen Qingda came out of his mother's womb and never thought that he would have so much money one day. I'm afraid that not only he, but also these people here, the whole Yanggu County, who can have 30,000 taels of property? Even if the huge rich people of the whole state capital are together and have a production capacity of 30,000 taels, they can be counted by the fingers of one hand.
This is really a big deal. Even according to the logic of businessmen, it is worth fighting so much money in front of them.
Ximenqing stood there and didn't know how to answer and thank him. The scene was quiet, and everyone seemed to be waiting for Ximenqing's answer. However, perhaps the amount of 30,000 taels also made them dumb.
"I'm ashamed." Ximen Qing suffoed for a long time and only put out these three words.
"Good!" The lady stepped down from the table and walked slowly to Ximenqing: "The little woman has been to many places, not to mention the knowledgeable, but none of the thousands of people she has seen can be like Ximen, with a huge amount of money in front of her face changes, normal speech, decent manners, neither humble nor arrogant. Outside the Ximen, he is really the dragon among people. After joining the army, he will definitely be able to make contributions and become the pillar of the country. The little woman replaced the wine with tea and toasted a glass of Ximen.
The woman waved her hand. A clerk brought a bowl of tea. The lady picked up the tea bowl from the tray with both hands and handed it to Ximen Qing. Ximen Qing did not refuse or even bend over. He took the tea bowl with both hands and gently squeezed it with his lips by the teacup. But I didn't drink even a drop of tea.
Ximenqing is in the business of medicinal materials. There is an instinctive resistance to alcohol at this moment. Even if he knows it is impossible, he will first think about whether there will be any problems and whether there will be any messy drugs. After all, this woman is about to pay a huge amount of money, although these are her initiative. I said it, but if I can't guarantee it, I will go back on my word. A normal person can go crazy and do all kinds of risky things for 30,000 taels of silver.
He was even afraid of what would happen to the tea he squeezed with his lips. After putting the teacup on the table, he quickly took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped his mouth politely. In fact, he wiped the tea on his lips, and then seriously felt the lips stained with tea and found nothing strange until this time. , the vigilance against poisoning in the teacup can be regarded as a complete release. Ximenqing's heart smiled slightly. Maybe if he hadn't been engaged in the medicinal herbs business, he could better enjoy the joy of the world. It's not like now, because he knew that there were too many powerful drugs, and he was suspicious in the face of everything, and even the beautiful woman did not dare to enjoy tea.
Maybe it's because of the thought in his mind just now, or maybe it's because of the distance just now. When Ximen Qing looks at this lady again, she is not as unattainable as when she first met her. Instead, she can feel a kind of intimacy, even... a kind of **. This strange change makes Ximen Qing himself very very Unable to adapt, he tried his best to control this idea.
After all, this is an old woman. If you do that kind of thing with her, you will feel sick when you think about it. The young girl's face and skin are the real beautiful and delicious beauty. That's the girl that Ximen Qing likes. Of course, it would be better if they could like me and give me love.
"Thank you for your face." The lady bowed gently again, then turned her head and said to everyone, "I'm really sorry that the delay is a little longer than expected. The little woman has understood what she wants to know for her husband's family, and you can leave by yourself. Thank you very much for your appreciation and all kinds of comments today, which moved me very much. In particular, the local righteous folk customs in Yanggu, asking for money and righteousness have left a deep impression on me. Presumably, these husbands will have the same feeling as me when they heard about it. If they really move to Yanggu, please help me. The little women are here and thank you in advance. The woman did not bow as before, but learned from a man and made a fisting ceremony. If this action is done by a young woman, it may be a little ridiculous. But at such a graceful age, this action seems particularly reasonable, and even gives people an irresistible sense of solemnity and majesty.
"Let's break up." The man who explained the situation before waved to everyone and signaled that he could leave.
More than 100 people slowly stood up, in twos and threes, and walked out. When they left, they still talked about something with each other. Ximen Qing listened carefully and couldn't hear it clearly. He could only hear it vaguely. It seemed that everyone was talking about the "silver" in their mouth.
Sure enough, they can abandon this hundred taels of silver, especially the one hundred taels of silver that have not yet been pocketed, but 30,000 taels of silver in front of them may be regretting why they were not themselves who spoke righteously just now, rather than let Ximen Qing steal the limelight. The plan for 10,000 taels of silver in Ximen Qing's mind will only become more reasonable and less dangerous when the silver becomes 30,000 taels.
"Well, Mr. Ximen, I have some other things to do. Excuse me." The woman nodded slightly, then walked to the depths of the lobby of Xijiang Tea House and disappeared.
Ximenqing stood still for a while. It was not until the people in the room were almost clean before he came to his senses. He sat on the chair, and the tail of his spine hit the chair fiercely. The pain made him grinned a little. It was also this pain that pulled Ximenqing back from the hero's dream. In the cool reality.
He felt that his feet seemed to be soaked in ice water. It turned out that the sweat on his feet had soaked through his socks just because of tension. In winter, the sweat had been frozen without drying, which made Ximenqing particularly uncomfortable. In fact, Ximen Qing can't get rid of the greed of ordinary people, and even his greed is even more than others. The calmness just now is just because he is in this wonderful mood. Ximen Qing always subconsciously feels that it is impossible for so much money to get into his hands. This is just a dream. It's just that the lady is teasing herself when she has nothing to do. It's not true.
But now, when the coldness of the feet came, the messy cups and plates were not cleaned up at the scene, and the cup of tea with Yiren fragrance on the table told Ximen Qing that all this just now was not a dream, but a real thing happened.
No matter what, he can't stay here. Ximenqing's mind is very confused. He must go home and think about it. Even if you fight with Wu Song, you can't directly crush Wu Song with 30,000 taels. Everything needs to be discussed in the long run. Fortunately, with this large amount of money, it is no longer important to sell pharmacies. You can free up more hands and time to do other things, instead of rushing around for those irrelevant small profits.
Ximenqing thought about it all the way and returned to the Ximen Pharmacy. The lunch time had passed, and the guys who went out also came back. The whole fore hall was prosperous. The guys had a big cake and were eating talking and laughing. When they saw Ximen Qing coming in, they immediately stopped chewing and stood up and said, "Good afternoon."
Ximen Qing waved his hand and motioned them to continue. I want to go to the back hall and think about things.
"Have you eaten yet?" The speaker is Wang An.
It is said that this question is a little redundant. Ximen Qing came back from outside and had lunch time. He must have eaten, but Ximen Qing also understood Wang An's questioning. After all, he had just been promoted by himself. Now among the guys, he has to take the initiative to talk to himself and be the first to talk every time. This is nothing. It will also provide a kind of hint to other guys and constantly strengthen their authority. Ximen Qing thought that although Wang An's question was very boring, in order to consolidate Wang An's position, he could not dismantle Wang An's stage, so he answered by the way: "Oh, I just talked to others about the transfer of the pharmacy outside. I've already eaten it. Why do you eat it now? Can you just eat big cakes? If it's not enough, pay money from the account. Go out to eat."
Ximenqing is very confident now. He is already worth more than 30,000 taels. How can he care about the money for one or two meals?
"No need." Wang An quickly shook his hand and said, "It's good for us to eat this. There is meat in the cake. Today, the brothers went out to sell medicinal materials, so they came back at this time. I saw that the brothers worked hard, so I added meat. I didn't tell the owner about the meat in advance. I just paid the money directly from the account. Wang An's words are very successful. In fact, the matter of sandwiching meat is not a problem in itself. It turned out that when the pharmacy shopkeeper was still alive, he never asked Ximen Qing about this kind of thing.
Ximenqing also got a great sense of satisfaction and felt that he was really like the master of these people, not just nominally. Wang An, it will be similar to this kind of thing in the future. You can decide according to the situation. You don't need to ask me for instructions. In the future, you will be..." Ximen Qing wanted to say "the shopkeeper", but on second thought, the pharmacy was about to be gone, and it was meaningless to say that the shopkeeper was not the shopkeeper. In addition, Wang An has just been promoted by himself today, and he has to be assessed for a while. He can't be in a hurry to announce this matter. For Wang An, he can't give him face to everything. Otherwise, if his majesty is established, my majesty will be gone, and another person similar to the previous pharmacy shopkeeper was born. It's not a good thing for me.
Although I have money, these people must also hold them firmly in their hands.
"...the person who is temporarily in charge of the accounts at this stage." Ximenqing thought about it, and it's better to give him this position. Of course, Ximenqing doesn't like the little money of selling the pharmacy now, and it's not impossible for Wang An to manage it. In addition, no matter how black Wang Anxin is, he can't swallow all the money.
Ximenqing is complacent about his own ideas.
