(Thank you for the dream never being completed, and the Flying Tiger has the support of the two of them, thank you!) )

Huainan, Luzhou, Chaohu.

At the mouth of the Sushui River in the south of Chaohu Lake, Yang Xingmi sat on the Hukou Mountain and watched the merchant ships coming and going, his face was filled with a thick smile, and he took a sip of tea from time to time, looking excited.

"Big brother, last year's account is out, guess how much we earned?" Gao Miao was overjoyed, holding a brush in one hand and an abacus in the other, shouting excitedly.

On both sides of the hall on the mountain, there are more than a dozen chairs on each side, and there are strong men sitting one by one. At this time, everyone's eyes were looking at Gao Miao, and they couldn't wait to know how much money they made last year.

This group of people are all wearing silk ayaluo, and they all look like they are both rich and noble. But if you look closely, you can find that under the silk of Ayaluo, there is still a bow and a bow and a gun on his body, and his eyes reveal a fierceness, and he is not an idle person at first glance.

"We failed to join the Zhenguo Army in the northwest at the beginning, followed the eldest brother back to Huainan, gave up the old business, and began to work hard here. I remember that our income last year was more than 300,000 yuan, and last year's business should be better than the year before, and it is estimated that there should be about 400,000 to 500,000 yuan. Tian Hao, who was sitting in the second chair below Yang Xingmi, said with a smile.

Another black-faced man in his thirties said: "Last year, Gao Qianli and Li Jiyu broke their wrists, and the business in Huainan was affected a lot, and I estimated that last year was about the same as the year before last." ”

Holding the account book, Gao Miao, dressed in a long robe, smiled proudly, "Wrong." The two elder brothers were wrong. Last year's earnings have already been calculated. That's 1.1 million. ”

"What? One million thousand? ”

A series of exclamations rang out in the hall. Everyone looked incredulous. Even Yang Xingmi, who was sitting in the first chair, was stunned by his majestic and graceful demeanor, like Song Yu's appearance, and his appearance was better than Pan An's, and Yang Xingmi, who was nicknamed "Jun Yang Lang".

Yang Xingmi was a thief and trafficker of smuggled salt in Jianghuai in his early years, and was later arrested by the Luzhou Assassin Shi, because of his extraordinary appearance, he was spared death. Sent to the northwest Shuofang Frontier. By chance, they captured a group of Shatuo cavalry wanted by Li Jing, and met Li Jing, the envoy of the Zhenguo Army who had just defeated Shatuo at that time.

Originally, they wanted to join Li Jing's command, but they didn't have the opportunity to meet Li Jing at that time, and they couldn't join the Zhenguo army. Yang Xingmi didn't want to return to Shuofang to fight the soldiers, so he simply took the reward money given by the Zhenguo Army, took a group of brothers as deserters, and fled back to his hometown of Luzhou, Huainan.

After returning to Huainan, the brothers originally proposed to redo their old business and go up the mountain to become thieves and sell smuggled salt. Some people also suggested simply defecting to Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao. However, in the end, Yang Xingmi persuaded everyone to give the reward money he got from Li Jing. took out the capital and began to do legitimate business.

They are in Luzhou, with Chaohu Lake as their base camp, from Feishui in the north to Chaohu Lake, Chaohu Lake to the south of the wet water, and then to the Yangtze River, and operate from the Huaihe River city of Shouzhou Shouchun in the north, and Huaixi through Luzhou to Hezhou One of the two major ferries in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the Hengjiang Quarrying Ferry.

At the beginning, the capital was small, and I made a small fuss, but by the way, I relied on the mountains to eat the mountains, relied on the water to draft, and occasionally did a few tickets without capital trading.

Gradually, the capital increased, and they no longer did these non-capital transactions, but relied on the geographical advantages of Luzhou to begin to expand their business. Luzhou is located in the middle of the Huai River and the Yangtze River, and is located between the Huaixi and Zhejiang provinces in Shannan. Whether it is from the south or from the north, this is the only way for businesses.

Especially when the merchants on the Denglai side began to open up the Jianghuai trade route, Yang Xingmi and they also seized the opportunity to make the business continue to grow.

But at this time, when Gao Miao said that he had earned a full 1.1 million yuan in net income last year, everyone was still shocked. Earning more than one million yuan a year, this number really makes their eyes red.

"Master Gao, have you miscalculated?" Even Xu Wen, who had always been steady, couldn't help but ask loudly.

"How can it be wrong, this is the third time, it's completely true, we did earn 1.1 million yuan last year, and this is still a net income after deducting all the capital." Gao Miao said proudly.

Yang Xingmi's two big palms rubbed together tightly, and he said excitedly: "Master, how much money do we have in our account now?" ”

Hearing the boss ask this question, Master Gao's face immediately lost the brilliance just now, and he squeaked silently.

"What, is there no money in the account?" Yang Xingmi's face darkened.

"Big brother, we really don't have any money in our account." Gao Miao replied honestly.

The people who were still happy just now immediately shouted, every year, they can make a lot of money in a year, 400,000 the year before last, 1.1 million last year, if you add the previous two years, I am afraid that there are more than 2 million. In the past few years, everyone hasn't shared much money, saying that the capital is enough to make the business bigger, but now, they actually say that there is no money.

"Master Gao, did you buy the money?"

"Are you greedy for ink?"

For a while, all kinds of doubts sounded, making Gao Miao's face purple and almost thunderous.

When he turned around, he brought a few large account books and slapped them on the table, "You have to speak according to your conscience, and every one of our income and expenditure is clearly recorded in the accounts." ”

"Then why is our big two million dollars gone?"

Gao Miao also pushed back without fear, "Doesn't everyone spend money on eating and drinking, and since last year, don't the eight cottages we have built cost money, don't these brothers who have been secretly recruited in the past few years not need food?" Add to that the brothers' affairs, and it all costs money. ”

Hearing Gao Miao talk about this, everyone nodded, although everyone has been doing serious business in recent years, but now in the world, it is not good to rely on it. What's more, they also have the identity of deserters, and they have also worked as bandits and salt sellers before, so as soon as they have money in their hands, they secretly recruit brothers, buy ordnance, and train and prepare.

By now, they have eight secret cottages, and the secret brothers have almost 5,000 people.

"Last time, the eldest brother contacted the businessmen in Dengzhou and bought a batch of equipment, and everyone saw it. It's all good guys. Sixty percent of the new iron armor is enough for a thousand sets. In addition, there are some crossbow length contradictory cards and so on. Completely let our 5,000 men and horses directly go up a few grades, this batch of equipment is not cheap, it cost a million yuan, or I took a lot of effort to erase the fraction. Gao said.

When it comes to those newly equipped ordnance, everyone is surprised by the price of one million yuan, but when they think about the quality, they also feel that it is worth the cost.

"Well, the Master has done a great job in this. Those ordnance are all good guys, and even the officials and soldiers in Luzhou have a lot of equipment that is not as good as the equipment we bought. Expensive is expensive, but good goods, worth it. Yang Xingmi directly praised Gao Miao. We are now in control of the Chaohu Lake and the Yangtze River waterway in Luzhou, and the Feishui and Weixu water are also under our control, plus the Huaixi to Hengjiang quarrying ferry through our land route, this business will only get bigger and bigger in the future, and the money will become more and more. ”

As he was talking, a strong man outside reported, "The master." Li Dangjia is back. ”

Li Shenfu, the head of the family, is a brother that Yang Xingmi has won over in the official army in recent years. He has bowed down to the people. However, on the surface, he was still among the officers and soldiers, and his identity was very secret, but unexpectedly, he came up the mountain at this time.

"Brothers, brothers got a piece of news, Gao Qianli made a move to Li Dashuai." As soon as he entered the hall, Li Shenfu, who was dressed as a businessman, immediately said in a loud voice.

Yang Xing stood up mildly, "Is this serious?" ”

Li Shenfu took the cup of tea handed over by Xu Wen and drank it all in one gulp, "There will be nothing wrong with this, I overheard this news from Chazi." ”

Hearing the news from Chazi, everyone knew that there would be no fakes in these eight or nine.

Chazi's full name is the patrol envoy, which was set up by Lu Yongzhi to report to Gao Biao, specializing in recruiting sinister and cunning criminals, crisscrossing the alleys and alleys, and being reconnaissance spies. It is of the same nature as the royal Lijing Gate, the Six Doors of the Criminal Department, Li Jing's Supervision Department, and Tian Lingzi's Troublemaker.

"What's going on?" Yang Xingmi is not a person who is willing to be lonely, but also a person with courage, dare to think and dare to do, from the beginning when he went to defect to the Zhenguo army, after not succeeding, he resolutely took his brother to become a deserter, returned to Huainan, but became a businessman, but secretly, but secretly recruited troops and horses, and trained 5,000 brothers, it can be seen that this is by no means a person who is willing to be ordinary.

Li Jingxiong is based in the north, and Gao Biao is now a tiger in Huainan, if these two people make a move, the entire Huainan will face great changes.

"Gao Biao has divided his troops into two routes, all the way to the Qin army in Hudouzhou, which is at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and all the way north to attack Haozhou, and I heard that he will also rob Xuzhou and Sizhou with the Qin army." Li Shenfu told all the news he had heard about the dispatch of troops.

"Immediately send this news to Boss Jing in Hezhou." Yang Xingmi pondered for a moment and immediately said to Xu Wen. Boss Jing is the owner of a big business in Hezhou, but they know that this Boss Jing is secretly Li Dashuai's person, and their ordnance was bought from this Boss Jing last time.

"I'm afraid it's too late, Yangzhou has already sent troops last night." Li Shenfu said.

"Gather all our brothers!" Yang Xingmi groaned.

"Big brother, do you want to take someone to help the Qin army in Hudou Prefecture?" Xu Wen asked in surprise.

Yang Xingmi nodded, "I don't think Gao Qianli can beat Li Dashuai, but in the current situation, even if Li Dashuai can beat Gao Qianli, it is impossible to reach out to Huainan for a while." If we help him this time, maybe he will be able to support us in replacing Gao Qianli in Huainan. ”

In just a few words, Yang Xingmi's thoughts were clear, the two gods fought, and Yang Xingmi actually wanted to take millet from the fire.

"Big brother, I think something is wrong, even if Gao Qianli can't beat Li Jing, his thighs are not something that our little arms can resist. Moreover, I think that if the Huainan army goes north to fight for Xuzhou with the Qin army, it may not win, but if it deals with Hudouzhou's side, it will definitely win. Immortals fight, beware of mortals suffering. Xu Wen knew the ambition in Yang Xingmi's heart, but at this time, it was not a good opportunity to come out. It's right to want to hug Li Jing's thigh, but I'm afraid that I will be angry with Gao Yu because of this, and I can't bear it at that time.

"It's better for us to send someone to Hezhou first, and then take fewer people to secretly go to the mouth of the Yangtze River, if the Qin army is really defeated there, we can save a few people secretly, so that we can not directly offend Gao Yu, but also sell Li Jing a favor." Liu Wei also said.

Yang Xingmi thought about it for a long time, but after that, he still felt that this proposal was more secure, and immediately nodded in agreement. (To be continued......)
