While sighing and reading the letter, the yellow-haired man smiled bitterly and shook his head. The two people next to him were confused. The strong man with a curly beard and light armor couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "Lu Man, What on earth happened? Look at your appearance, what could have made it difficult for you to do that?"
"What other good things can come out of this? Will Mr. Xiao write a good thing? In addition to asking for money, why don't we ask for money?" Lu Man scratched the some scattered yellow hair on his head, squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying and said: "Our Mr. Xiao The only word in my eyes was money. In addition to asking me to quickly pay the full amount of taxes and fees to the Special Administrative Region Finance Department for the second quarter, the letter also asked me to hand over hundreds of dollars of the proceeds from the sale of iron ore equity that I had worked so hard to accumulate. Fifty percent, and he said there was no room for negotiation! Does he want the people of Shuangdui Prefecture to live? Damn it, didn't we agree that it would all belong to our Shuangdui Prefecture-level finance? Going back on your word is not the way of a boss. ah!"
"Haha, Master Xiao has tricked you again? Do you think you want to get away with just a few bucks? Stop dreaming, I think Master Xiao is thinking about what he is dreaming about?" The bearded man is naturally the commander of the Shuangdui Security Division. He Lianbo, he took a strong puff of the cigar in his mouth, two streams of light blue smoke spurted out from his nostrils, curled up in the room, nodded and gloated.
"He Lianbo, why are you so virtuous? If Shuangdui Mansion doesn't have money, how can your security division be better off? Damn, why don't you even try to comfort me, and you're actually making sarcastic remarks here? Boss Liang, tell me how disgusting this guy is. Don't be disgusted, are you smoking the best cigar you just stole from my private study?" The yellow-haired man was furious and complained angrily to the silent man in plain clothes sitting on the left.
"Well, yes, don't give it to him next time. This guy is really shameless." Probably because he was used to the two people's verbal fights, the handsome man grinned and comforted, "But I was thinking about the place in the northwest. Bian Ye is indeed holding back a lot. Your Excellency mobilized more than 100,000 troops to solve the siege of Jerok. Hey, this cost is not a small amount. If you go head-to-head with the Kaman people, the casualties will definitely not be small. If this battle is won, The current financial resources of Northwest County will definitely not be able to bear the cost. If Mr. Xiao doesn’t seek support from the governments below, will he rob or steal?"
"But he was too cruel. He wanted half of it all at once. I worked hard to get this. I originally planned to invest in building a government-run iron factory, but now it all came to nothing." Lu Man was still a little distressed and smacked his lips in dissatisfaction.
"Hey, don't cry poor in front of us. I wonder who is planning on that wasteland in the south next to the border of Luzon? It is said that it is a first-class fertile land for growing coffee. It turns out that if banditry is not rampant, I'm afraid Has it been developed a long time ago? What are the fat planters who came from Luzon two days ago here to do? Are they not planning to buy the so-called wasteland? It is said to be wasteland. Now the price of Imperial Coffee continues to rise. Once If you plant coffee, it can really be said to be a huge treasure land." Liang Chongxin looked at the yellow-haired man with a half-smile, winked and smiled.
The yellow-haired man obviously didn't expect that the other party even knew the news. He was speechless and speechless for a moment.
"Well, also, although the rich iron mine in the north has sold its shares, I heard that several small-scale iron mines can still be built next to it. I don't know who is bragging in the chamber of commerce to sell those mining rights. ?I heard that those businessmen are all rushing around to find a way out?" A mysterious smile flashed across Liang Chongxin's face, he glanced at the stunned Lu Man, and leaned back slightly, feeling comfortable. He crossed his legs and continued leisurely: "Is the Shuangdui Autonomous Government going to transfer those mining rights for free? When did Lao Lu become so generous?"
"That's enough, Boss Liang, Uncle Liang, I obey you, okay?" Like a puppy whose tail was stepped on, Lu Man whined and jumped up from his seat, grinning and bowing repeatedly, "Can you Don’t let the news leak to Mr. Xiao and the others, otherwise our Shuangdui Mansion plan will really come to naught if he does it again.”
"Haha, Boss Liang, it's you who can do it. You stepped on this kid's painful foot all at once. Look at his appearance, haha." He Lianbo couldn't help but point at the yellow-haired man with a wry smile and laughed loudly. It's joy.
Ignoring He Lianbo, the yellow-haired man, Lu Man, the city guard of Shuangdui Prefecture, begged with a grimace: "Boss Liang, I'm serious. The whole group of people in Shuangdui Prefecture still rely on these two things. Whatever your request is, just ask for it and show your respect, okay?"
"Haha, bribery. Well, tonight's dinner is settled. Lu Man, I guess you couldn't hide it at all. Mr. Li is very well-informed." Liang Chongxin shook his head and smiled.
"Whatever, just keep it secret for a while. Once they find out, I can always use it for a while. As long as you don't leak it, hey, maybe you can still hide it." Lu Man also knows that it is not easy to hide it. , but still taking a chance, "By the way, Boss Liang, let's not talk about the mine, but how do you know about the coffee plantation in the south?"
Lu Man was puzzled by this question, and even Helianbo was very interested. "Yes, Boss Liang, we haven't heard anything about this matter. How did you know about it?"
"Haha, have you dug up the roots?" Liang Chongxin said with a smile, "If you want to know, Lao Lu, how about adding a dinner tomorrow?"
"Deal!" Lu Man gritted his teeth and accepted the blackmail. He couldn't sleep well unless he knew the inside story.
"It's simple. Two days ago, I went to the government-run forge to forge a sword. I saw how busy it was, so I asked casually. It turned out that the wasteland in the south was to be reclaimed, and a lot of farm tools were needed. I just happened to have placed an order for Luzon Planting. The garden owner came to see the goods, so I just asked a few more questions, it was that simple." Liang Chongxin happily told the whole story.
"Is it that simple?" Lu Man and Helianbo both looked at each other. Lu Man couldn't help but said: "Those idiots wouldn't even come up with the matter of buying wasteland all at once, right? I told them specifically."
"Hey, who are you, Mr. Lu? I still don't understand that you can do loss-making business?" Liang Chongxin blinked and asked.
Lu Man shook his head and was speechless, while Helianbo laughed.
"But the northwest side is very nervous now, otherwise Xiao Tang would not break his promise easily. It is probably very difficult. Your Excellency is using troops again. It is necessary for you to support me more, Lao Lu. After all, things are still calm here and we are powerful. I can't use it." Liang Chongxin sighed lightly. He didn't want to go back to the northwest and join the front line. However, Northern Luzon had just been settled and the Shuangdui Garrison Division had not yet recovered its strength. The First Division was indeed needed to stabilize the people's sentiments, so he could only Can accept reality.
"Boss Liang, actually we can also help." He Lianbo said with a sinister smile. Linghuyi's departure made him feel angry. It was the most critical time of training, but he put his own strength to the test. Of course, he was full of complaints when his arm assistant was withdrawn, but Linghu Yi was personally named by Mr. Li to be the head of the newly established Military Intelligence Bureau. This was also a sign of respect for Linghu Yi. Of course he would not stop him, but in this way, His courage was greatly reduced. He heard that Yan Tong, the chief of staff of the Northwest Independent Cavalry Division, had been appointed as his deputy, but because the war in the east was not over, he had not yet taken up the post. This was one of the reasons for Helianbo's dissatisfaction. one.
"Oh? Helian, what did you say?" Liang Chongxin also looked at this seemingly rough and sophisticated colleague with some surprise. He knew that the other party would not make random mistakes and must have some ideas. "What do you think? Let me tell you. .”
Even Lu Man's attention was immediately attracted, staring at Helianbo with a pair of dark gray eyes, obviously wanting to hear what this guy had in mind.
"Hey, what is the biggest headache for Mr. Li now? Isn't it the lack of money? Then let's find some ways to help Mr. Li get some money. This can be regarded as helping Mr. Li solve his problems, right?" Helianbo smiled. replied.
"Nonsense! Who doesn't know that what we are short of in the northwest now is money! But where does the money come from? We are working so hard in Shuangdui Mansion, and it will take two or three years for the economy here to bear fruit. This financial Taxes will increase accordingly. If you want to get money all at once, you have to steal and rob!" Before Liang Chongxin could speak, Lu Man interrupted Helianbo angrily.
"Lao Lu is really awesome. He guessed my idea right away. Hehe, you are worthy of being an old brother!" He Lianbo pretended to be surprised and extended his thumb in praise.
"Did I guess right? What did I guess right?" Lu Man asked, confused and with wide eyes.
"Eh? Didn't you say you were going to steal and rob?" Helianbo asked with a sly smile, "This is our good idea."
"Steal or rob? How can you steal or rob?" Lu Man became furious when he heard this, "Are you kidding me?"
"Who is kidding you? You were going to steal and rob! Otherwise, where would you get the money?" He Lianbo had a sly smile on his face, but he looked at Liang Chongxin, who had been sitting next to him without saying a word.
"Boss Liang, you-" Lu Man was also a little surprised, but saw that this colleague who was responsible for the military defense of the entire Northern Luzon had a pensive look on his face and didn't speak for a long time. He was obviously thinking about something.
"Well, the idea is not bad, but there are too many things worth discussing here. It cannot be done casually, and it may be self-defeating." After a while, Liang Chongxin pinched the stubble of his chin and spoke slowly. Tunde nodded slightly.
"Haha, Boss Liang, that at least means that my approach is at least feasible, right?" Helianbo rubbed his hands, a little excited, looking eager to try, and laughed: "As for the rest, everything can be done slowly Come and make some calculations. Don’t be afraid of not having a chance. I’ve never heard of it. I’m not afraid of thieves stealing. I’m just afraid that thieves will care about me. It’s their blessing to have me, Helianbo, care about me, haha!”
