The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 808

[Chapter 808 Whether to stay or go, it’s your choice]

Although Zuo Fei’s family is poor, he has no education, and he doesn’t know a few words, but after all, he has been a steward in Fang Mansion for a period of time, so he has seen the world.

Hearing Bai Xiaochun’s words, he immediately understood what was going on. He nodded and said, “I understand, little one.”

While he was talking, a boy came in, stood upright, and bowed respectfully. , and said: “Master Governor, a few more people have come outside, saying they want to negotiate a business deal with you.”

Bai Xiaochun nodded and said, “Let them come over.”

“Yes, Master Governor!”

The boy said He responded, turned around and left. After a while, several people arrived in the room.

After sitting down, each made his or her bid.

One offered a higher price than the other.

Things that sell for one penny in Kyoto Prefecture actually sell for two hundred penny here.

Zuo Fei was dumbfounded and almost speechless.

Bai Xiaochun had a calm expression on his face, obviously he had already seen through everything.

In the end, each item found the most suitable price, or a price that both parties were satisfied with.

At the same time, Bai Xiaochun looked at several Nanyang merchants and said, “In addition to selling these things, there are also some things we want to buy.”

Buy?

Several merchants looked at each other.

I don’t quite understand.

The Chu country has a vast territory and rich resources. Is there anything I need to buy from Nanyang?

Bai Xiaochun winked at the young man.

The boy brought something up.

After everyone saw it, they instantly understood and asked, “Master Governor, do you want to buy rubber?”

Obviously, Bai Xiaochun didn’t know what the rubber was, but he still nodded seriously and said, “It’s rubber.

” Rubber is a material often used by local indigenous people.

It seemed to have flowed from the tree, and then something was added to dry it. He didn’t know exactly how it was made.

But in response to the young master’s request, he still wrote this thing into the letter.

Unexpectedly, the young master didn’t like other things, but he valued this material called rubber very much.

He even gave the order in the letter.

How much of this kind of rubber is available is what Xin’an Marquis wants.

As long as the price is right, unlimited quantities are available.

Although he was confused, he did as he was told.

Even though the young master is not here, countless facts have proven that as long as you follow the young master, the final result will definitely be correct!

With Bai Xiaochun thinking, several merchants had already started to quote prices.

According to common sense, you should choose the one with the lowest price.

But Bai Xiaochun didn’t have so much. Instead, he stipulated what requirements the quality of the rubber must meet.

After several merchants heard this, they argued again for a while before finally deciding on the price.

After the discussion, Bai Xiaochun looked at Zuo Fei and asked, “Do you know what the master wants this rubber for?”

Zuo Fei shook his head gently and said, “I don’t know, the master just said that he wanted to buy more. But they didn’t say what it was for.”

After hearing this, Bai Xiaochun didn’t ask any more questions.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside.

The footsteps felt very familiar, and you knew they were from Chu.

Sure enough, the next second, a boy came to report: “Master Governor, three generals are waiting outside and want to see you.” When

Bai Xiaochun heard this, he already had a guess in his mind as to what these people were here for. of.

Therefore, he just waved his hand and said, “I understand, let them come over.”

“Yes, sir!”

He bowed and turned around to leave.

After a while, three burly-looking captains from the Shenji Battalion walked in.

He stood upright and bowed respectfully.

“I’ve met Lord Governor before the low-ranking officials.”

Bai Xiaochun looked at them without saying a word.

The three captains stood with awkward expressions.

Bai Xiaochun said: “What do you want to say? Just tell me why the dignified captain is so coquettish.” When

the three captains heard this, they looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and said: “Captain Sir, there’s nothing wrong with me.

I just wanted to ask the humble ministers when they can return to Kyoto.”

At this point, he paused and added hurriedly: “Master Governor, please don’t misunderstand me, humble ministers. It’s not that we wanted to escape, but when we came here, the Marquis just told us to wipe out the pirates.

Now, the pirates have been almost wiped out.

Then the Marquis asked us to come to Nanyang. This is a humble job. There is nothing to say about the duties of brothers.

It’s just that Nanyang is really not a place for people to live. It’s hot and sunny, so that’s it. The food is terrible. The brothers are about to vomit after eating bananas every day.

“Besides, there are other things.”

When he said this, his expression was a little hesitant, but he gritted his teeth and said it anyway: “There is also the fact that all the low-level workers have old and young people in their families. They haven’t been back for more than half a year. It is inevitable that I miss my relatives at home. “

This is all human nature.

After hearing this, Bai Xiaochun nodded, with a very calm expression, and said calmly: “I understand what you mean, and I will tell you the truth.

After a while, the Marquis will send people to Nanyang, probably about a thousand people, about a year from now. At that time, you can choose whether to go back or stay here.

In addition, some people can choose to follow me and continue to search for the golden land. “

When the three captains heard this, their expressions changed.

Some of them opened their mouths and wanted to say something.

Bai Xiaochun glanced at him, stretched out his hand to stop him, and continued: “Don’t speak first. listen to me.

I know that you are homesick, miss your family, and can’t get used to the life here.

Me too, I grew up in Kyoto Prefecture, so naturally I am not used to it here.

I have thought about everything you are thinking, but no matter what, someone has to do this.

If you are unwilling to stay in Nanyang, the Marquis will not force you and will still let you return to Kyoto Prefecture.

At the same time, I will give each of you one hundred taels of silver as a reward for this period of time, but nothing else.

Those who choose to stay will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver every year.

You can choose to keep this money for yourself, or you can choose to send it back to your family.

Moreover, those who stay do not stay forever. They still have to be replaced every five years.

At that time, even if you want to stay in Nanyang, it will be impossible and you will still have to return to Kyoto Prefecture.

As for those who are willing to follow me to continue searching for the golden land, each person will receive fifty taels of silver per month.

This amount of money is distributed every month, and if something unexpected happens during the process, the family can get an additional five hundred taels of silver!

Whether to go or stay, you will make your own choice when the time comes. ”
