Chapter 405: Crazy Craftsman
Three days later, Liao Zihui's secretary Ling Sujun came to Xiaoyaowu with a document in his hand.
The Customs and Defense Department responded to Li Qi’s request. From now on, the freight for Li Qi’s business will be halved.
Ma Wu was so excited that he didn't even bother to seduce Ling Sujun and went directly to Li Qi.
Li Banfeng was very calm: "I estimate that major families will come to visit you soon."
The major families must come to find it. Li Qi's price is half price. They can't even get the original price. They must find a way to find Li Qi to ship the goods.
Ma Wu has already prepared for this: "Those who are close to us can help them ship the goods, and we can make a profit from the price difference. Sister Xiu is expected to come today. We will discuss how much the price difference will be charged then."
Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "He Yuxiu won't charge the price difference, just charge her some labor costs."
Ma Wuyi was startled: "What's the reason?"
"He Yuxiu has merit. She deserves a lot of credit for the success this time."
He Yuxiu's contribution is indeed not small. Not only did he serve as the main force in the battle with Sanyingmen, but more importantly, he helped Li Banfeng attract a lot of firepower from the customs defense envoys.
"Where are the other families?"
"Rewards are based on merit. The greater the merit, the smaller the price difference."
Ma Wu rubbed his forehead. This matter was quite troublesome, but the credit of each family can be traced if you think about it carefully.
But Ma Wu was a little worried: "If we do this, the customs and defense envoys will suffer a big loss. They won't cause trouble in the future, right?"
All major families ship goods here, Li Qi.
"There will be no less trouble. As long as the boundary is still in their hands, this matter will never end."
While talking, Li Banfeng looked at the sweeper at the door.
The sweeper lowered his head, holding a broom, and was carefully cleaning the corners of the corridor.
"What is this?" Li Banfeng asked.
The sweeper nervously clutched the broom, his face covered with sweat, he raised his head and asked, "Master Qi, you mean..."
Li Banfeng touched the small puppet on the cleaner's waist: "It's so unique."
"Is this what you're talking about?" the cleaner took off the puppet. "There was a grocery store downstairs. I thought this stuff was good and quite cheap, so I bought it and went back to play with my children."
"You mean downstairs?"
"There is a small stall right on the roadside. It should still be there now."
Li Banfeng went downstairs and saw a chore stall. Most of the stalls were toys. Li Banfeng took a fancy to a wooden train.
"How much does this cost?"
"Five yuan, no counteroffer."
The things were indeed not expensive. Li Banfeng bought a wooden train, a jar of glass beads, and two tin frogs.
After returning to Xiaoyaowu, Li Banfeng entered the residence and went straight to the third room.
"Old man, I brought you something." Li Banfeng took out the wooden train and pushed it around on the ground.
There was no response from the mobile home.
"There are also glass beads here. You said you would use these to relieve your boredom last time. They are indeed quite fun."
Still no response.
Li Banfeng took out the tin frog, wound it up, and jumped up on the ground: "Do you like this?"
"If you have anything to say, just say it!" Bianju finally spoke.
"I just want to ask one thing, what is the principle of the boundaries between the worlds?"
After waiting for a long time, he replied: "I have studied it, but not thoroughly. I still remember some things, but most of them have been forgotten."
"No way," Li Banfeng took out the switch that controlled the boundary, "Didn't you make this thing?"
"I didn't make this thing, I modified it. Some things are broken and can be repaired, and some things that don't work can be changed, but it's not that easy to make a new one."
It is true that it is much more difficult to build something new from scratch than to repair and modify it.
Suiju continued: "And this mechanism must be used with caution. It worked once before, and it's hard to say whether it will work next time. People from other states like to use such little tricks."
Li Banfeng can also understand this, just like different devices have different passwords.
But Li Banfeng wanted to break the boundaries. Even if he had to learn from scratch, he still accepted it: "Can you teach me some construction techniques?"
"Why are you studying engineering law? Opening two doors to start a business, but you still think it's not enough?"
"I want to build a railway, a railway that is not controlled by boundaries. Do you have any idea?"
"Haha~" Suiju smiled, "Old Train has spent so many years just to build such a railway, but he still hasn't finished it. Do you think you can do it?"
"Old Train?" Li Banfeng smiled, "You mean Mr. Train? You call him that too? Then what does he call you?"
"He called me Little Train."
"Hahahahahaha," Gloves laughed loudly beside him, "Old man, you are still called a little train at your age. You are really not ashamed."
A jar flew over, and Gloves dodged it: "Old man, this trick doesn't work anymore, ha ha ha..."
A vase fell from the table and hit Gloves accurately.
The traveler sighed: "Ah Qi, you can't do anything about the railway. Construction techniques cannot be learned overnight.
I can't do it either, I've forgotten too many things,
Let's see if your wife has this ability. She learns everything very quickly.
She still needs a helper, and there is a smart person in the family, but he may not be willing to help her. "
Which smart guy?
Li Banfeng thought for a moment and thought of Jiufang.
"Old man, are you talking about Honglian? I'm afraid she still pretends to be my old friend in her heart."
The assistant smiled: "Ah Qi, you have spent too little time with Honglian. You really don't understand her character.
I have never met your friend, but I know that Honglian will definitely not be able to accommodate your friend in her heart.
She only has that person in the sky in her heart, and she can't hold anyone else in her heart except that person. "
The one in heaven?
Li Banfeng heard his wife say it.
"Is he the one who let me shine in the sky?"
"Yes, in Puluozhou, as long as you touch the red lotus, the red lotus will send a message to the sky, and the sky will shine down.
But here, Honglian can't send a message to the sky. She is anxious. Seeing her anxious look makes me feel so happy. "
Li Banfeng was silent for a long time, and he and his companion showed a knowing smile.
After laughing, Li Banfeng thought of the old train again: "Where is the old train now?"
Suiju said: "Don't think about him now. You can't go where he goes."
"Who is he trapped by?"
Suiju sighed: "I forgot. It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I really forgot.
When I followed the old train and fought with them, I lost most of my combat power and most of my memory.
If I meet them again, I'm not sure I can take you out alive. "
"Then what should we do? You forgot the construction method of the boundary line. We haven't found the old train yet, so we expect my wife to figure it out by herself. How long will it take to figure it out?"
He was silent as he couldn't think of a good solution.
Li Banfeng raised his head and asked: "I have an idea and have already started working on it, but I don't know if it will work.
If you were allowed to see the new boundary line, would it help you retrieve some of your memories? "
The attendant was silent for a long time and said, "You might as well give it a try."
Li Banfeng returned to the main room and made out with his wife twice.
The lady gritted her teeth and said with sweat: "It's okay if you don't eat Huan Tu. The slave family can still bear it."
Mittens crawled out from under the vase and found that the wooden train, glass beads and iron frogs on the ground had all disappeared.
…
Li Banfeng left Suiju.
In the main room, Hong Ying couldn't hear what her husband said just now, but she could hear what Li Banfeng and Glove said.
While Li Banfeng was away, Hong Ying whispered to the record player: "Wicked woman, I heard that mad man and that bitch talking about old trains and small trains. They weren't talking about the mad craftsman and his train."
The record player sneered and said: "What do you mean by a crazy craftsman who doesn't know any etiquette? That's an elder of your Taoist sect."
Hong Ying said in shock: "I should have thought that we would fall into that madman's train. Zhao Xiaowan, why are you not afraid at all?"
"What are you afraid of? Isn't this senior very kind to us?"
"Have you forgotten what they looked like on the battlefield? Apart from the grocery seller, it was the old craftsman and his train who were the most ruthless."
Chichi~
The record player sang slowly: "Hey bitch, you have been deaf and blind for many years. Times have changed a long time ago. Please don't turn out those old almanacs again."
Hong Ying snorted coldly and said, "If we don't turn over the almanac, will our hatred be over?"
"Hey bitch, you are really overthinking. Even if you fall into the eighteenth level of hell, we will never be able to get over this grudge."
…
He Jiaqing was sitting in the tavern, eating mutton skewers, drinking beer, and reading the newspaper.
This tavern was not very popular, and He Jiaqing came here simply to eat.
It's just that the news in the newspaper made him a little off-putting. It was a newspaper in Prozhou. The news was from three days ago. The headline was "The seventy-year-old ghost-hand sect owner ran naked in the street. What's the secret behind it".
He Jiaqing tried his best to stay calm and read the entire news.
He had a new understanding of Xie Juncong.
After eating, He Jiaqing walked to the stadium. On the way, Shen Rongqing sent a message.
"Jia Qing, the customs envoy has reduced Li Qi's freight by half, so Li Qi doesn't need us to ship the goods."
He Jiaqing smiled and said: "We can ask him to ship goods. Is it a business? How can we make money?"
Shen Rongqing sighed: "I went to talk to Ma Wu, but he was not willing to see me yet. He said that this matter does not depend on friendship, but rewards based on merit. We can reduce our shipping costs by up to 20%."
"Twenty percent is not a lot. We have to let Li Qi earn some of the difference and continue the business first."
Shen Rongqing was still unconvinced: "Jia Qing, He Yuxiu's business, Li Qi reduced the shipping fee by half and only charged a little labor money. Li Qi didn't make the difference from her price."
"What's the reason for this?" He Jiaqing was stunned for a moment and suddenly asked, "What's the relationship between Li Qi and my aunt?"
"I heard from rumors that they are very close. You also know your aunt's temperament. When she sees the man she likes, she will..."
"Dare!" He Jiaqing was anxious, "If Li Qi dares to sleep with my aunt, I will give him..."
What can I do to him?
He Jiaqing is in a critical period and cannot return to Puzhou now.
Shen Rongqing asked: "Jia Qing, are you still doing business with Li Qi?"
"Let's do it. Aren't we going to be rewarded based on our merits? It's our turn to make money, so why not!"
This business won't last long. The customs officer promised him 50% of the freight today, but it may increase to five times tomorrow. He must hurry up and ship the goods quickly, and he can make more money. "
…
Ma Wu recruited nearly a thousand pioneers from all over Green Water Bay and gathered in Lanyang Village.
Li Banfeng held a land reclamation conference and placed the rewards for land reclamation directly in front of the land reclamation people:
"You know the rules of land reclamation, and you also know the rules of mine. The white money is here, and you can get the reward according to the size of the land. The carriages and horses are ready, so pack up and go."
PS: What method can be used to see the new boundary line?
