Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

The head servant took the silver bag from Master Zheng, weighed it in his hand, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

At this time, the tone of his voice improved a little, but only a little.

"Since you are so sensible, I can be more tolerant. You are looking for trackers, aren't you?"

"Our boatmen here earn ten taels of silver each, but your boat needs more than forty boatmen."

"Just give me the silver and I'll help you find it. I won't rush you about time, okay?"

Hearing what the servant said, Master Zheng was so angry that he almost broke down, cursing in his heart.

"You son of a bitch, you took so much money from me and you're still greedy, you son of a bitch, why don't you just die! Fuck you!"

Ten taels of silver for a tracker, this is even more shameless than robbery, even though the tracker's job is very dangerous and hard.

But it wouldn't be ten taels per person. Even in a prosperous city like Yangzhou, the price would not exceed one tael of silver per person.

How could it be so expensive in Qufu? It's obvious that they want to make money from me.

I gave him fifty taels of silver first, and then another two hundred taels of silver were put into his purse, and he was still not satisfied.

They actually offered ten taels of silver for each boatman, so forty people that would be four hundred taels of silver. The key point was that they had four boats in total.

In total, it would cost 1,600 taels of silver to pull the boat out of the Zhushui River.

The problem is that of these 1,600 taels of silver, when it finally reaches the hands of the trackers, I'm afraid that less than ten taels of silver will be left.

Even with the current behavior of these people who are in charge of everything, the trackers will most likely not get a penny.

Maybe they would just pull out the slaves in their homes to serve as trackers and laborers.

Master Zheng was very convinced about this because Wei Wu had told him about the situation in Qufu before.

The Kong family has occupied the entire Qufu and has been acting tyrannically for so many years that there are no free people here anymore.

They were either tenants of the Kong family or various slaves. Anyone with a little ability would have escaped from here long ago.

Previously, Wei Wu arranged for people to deceive the believers. Although their identities were imposters, what they said was not false.

The people in Qufu really live a more miserable life than people in other places.

Why did Wei Wu know these things? Because he once watched a documentary on a small broken station.

The Kong family classified almost ten types of households, including tenants, wine merchants, sheep farmers, ice pushers, and mourners.

Moreover, once registered as a household, it is equivalent to being branded, and it cannot be changed from generation to generation.

It can be said that the Kong family is the local tyrant in Qufu, and the people here can’t get any help from heaven or earth.

Because of this, Master Zheng had to suppress the anger in his heart and curse only in his heart.

Unless they take action now, they will not be able to defeat the other party if the situation gets out of hand.

Thinking of this, Master Zheng sighed inwardly, raised his head and looked at the servant again.

"Thank you for your generosity, sir..."

Just when Master Zheng was about to agree, he suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

Because he noticed that the head servant's eyes seemed a little suspicious, his heart suddenly tightened.

not good! !

I agreed so readily that this guy has started to get suspicious.

We can no longer comply with his request, otherwise not only will we fail to get rid of them, but it will have the opposite effect!

It was not until this time that Master Zheng suddenly realized that they were now a merchant cargo ship.

Under normal circumstances, there is no problem in paying for convenience, but the cost and profit must also be considered.

If a merchant casually takes out a few hundred taels of silver to buy his way through, he won’t make any money at all.
