The person who spoke was Cheng Yaojin, the Great Tang's number one scoundrel, the Great Tang's number one troublemaker. This was the evaluation of Cheng Yaojin in many novels in the future.
Cheng Yaojin came to Lin Fei and happily wrote down the IOU and handed it to Lin Fei.
Lin Fei took the IOU and looked at it. It was written with a total of 1,000 taels of gold. Cheng Yaojin was a state duke and a first-grade official. Of course, he had to calculate it according to the price of one tael of gold for a locust. There was nothing wrong with that.
However, the problem was that Cheng Yaojin's IOU did not have a signature on it. What kind of IOU was an IOU without a signature?
Lin Fei grabbed Cheng Yaojin's hand that was reaching for the locust.
Seeing Lin Fei hold his hand, Cheng Yaojin looked at Lin Fei innocently and said indignantly,"I say, Prince Consort, are you still going to do business?”
Now, Lin Fei finally believed in the evaluation of Cheng Yaojin in the novels of later generations. This guy was a f * cking troublemaker. No matter who he met, he would roll up to him.
Lin Fei smiled and shook his head. He grabbed the IOU and waved it in front of Cheng Yaojin. He smiled and said,"Lord Cheng, of course I will do this business, but before you eat, please sign your name.”
After being exposed by Lin Fei in public, Cheng Yaojin was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he complained,"What do you mean? Are you worried that I, Cheng Yaojin, won't pay you for this?”
Cheng Yaojin was very excited, as if Lin Fei had wronged him. However, he had never thought of giving the money. Not only did he want to give the 1,000 taels of gold, but he also didn't want to give the 500 taels of gold from before. This was because he didn't sign the IOU just now. There were too many people just now. Lin Fei noticed it, but he didn't have time to tell him.
"Lord Cheng, how about this? I'll give you a suggestion. In the future, you can collect all the locusts caught by the commoners. I guarantee that you will only earn money and not lose money.”
Lin Fei did not lie to Cheng Yaojin. This business was indeed profitable, but it was just a little less profitable, so he was unwilling to do it.
Although he had promised Li Shiming that he would collect as many locusts as the people caught, he did not say that he would be the one collecting the locusts.
Originally, he had planned to find a businessman if he could not find a suitable person. After all, this business would not lose money. Moreover, with his identity as the Prince Consort, he believed that many businessmen would be willing.
However, now that Cheng Yaojin had come, he might as well let Cheng Yaojin try, so that he wouldn't have to find trouble with the merchant.
Cheng Yaojin stared at Lin Fei's eyes, wanting to see if Lin Fei was telling the truth. After all, he had already been tricked by Lin Fei twice today. He was indeed traumatized.
In the end, Cheng Yaojin looked at it for a long time, but he still could not see anything.
However, Cheng Yaojin was a man with a rough appearance but a meticulous heart. Otherwise, how could a bastard like him have lived in the Great Tang for so long?
He felt that with Lin Fei's current momentum, as long as he had a good relationship with Lin Fei, it would not matter even if he suffered a loss now, so he nodded and agreed.
Seeing Cheng Yaojin's eyes rolling around, Lin Fei knew what he was thinking. However, as long as Cheng Yaojin was obedient, he did not care about giving him some benefits. Just like Wei Zheng, Lin Fei gave him hundreds of locusts that were worth one tael of gold.
Only Li Shiming would use this kind of treatment. Moreover, Lin Fei didn't want money because Li Shiming was his father-in-law.
"Since you've already agreed, then I'll give you these locusts to eat. However, I still have to give you the five hundred gold taels from before. Don't think that I won't know it's you just because you don't sign.”
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin was finally a little embarrassed. He was not embarrassed because he was exposed by Lin Fei, but because he thought that he had done it without anyone knowing. He did not expect Lin Fei to find out.
However, at the same time, Cheng Yaojin admired Lin Fei even more.
The conversation between Lin Fei and Cheng Yaojin fell into the ears of those officials. Many people began to ponder why Cheng Yaojin did this.
However, there were already some smart people who surrounded them. They wanted to continue buying locusts. Or rather, they were not buying locusts, but buying Lin Fei's good impression or apologizing to Lin Fei.
If they could use some money to exchange for Lin Fei's favor, they still felt that it was worth it.
Not long after, more and more officials came to their senses and gathered around. For a moment, the throne room was like a market, noisy and not serious at all.
Li Shi Min saw the officials surrounding Lin Fei and suddenly felt that marrying Princess Chang Le to Lin Fei seemed to be a good choice.
