When he returned to Lin'an City this time, Xiang Ming had already prepared a mansion for him. Compared to the place where I lived temporarily last time, it was simply a kennel for beggars. It's just that Xu Haifeng feels very familiar when he looks at it. It wasn't until he entered the hall that he remembered that this was the place where Emperor Han Xian met with his ministers last time, and his face changed greatly at the moment, and the envoy said that he was so crazy that his mouth was dry, and he just refused to enter.

Just when the two were at a stalemate, a person came out of it, it was Pingxi Hou Xiangming.

"Little brother, why did you get to the door of the house, you are still wandering outside, come in." Xiang Ming asked curiously.

Xu Haifeng pointed to the main hall inside the main gate and said, "Big brother, this is where the emperor lives, I don't dare to blaspheme the holy car." ”

Xiang Ming laughed and said: "The emperor won a big victory three days ago, and it is impossible for you to blaspheme." Don't tell me you don't know. ”

Xu Haifeng rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Big brother, didn't you teach me that people are terrible, why as soon as the emperor leaves, you want me to occupy his palace." If it reaches his old man's ears, what do you say? ”

"It's okay, it's okay......" Xiang Ming showed a hint of a sly smile: "The emperor is magnanimous and has all kinds of opportunities, how can he be as little as you are a chicken." Why, am I not right? ”

Xu Haifeng couldn't help but fall for himself after hearing this, this sentence is really difficult to answer, no matter how you say it, it seems to be inappropriate. Fortunately, they are all their own people here, and the messenger is also a close confidant of Xiang Ming's side, so he is not afraid of someone spreading the word. had to change the topic and said: "In this case, big brother, you can live well." ”

"Okay, don't stand on the street and be embarrassed, let's go in and talk." Xiang Ming pulled Xu Haifeng and dragged him in.

Passing through the main hall, Xiang Ming took him to a dormitory, handed over a thick account book, and said, "Little brother, I have ordered all the belongings of the city to be counted, you can take a look first." ”

Xu Haifeng pushed the account book and said, "Since the eldest brother has made statistics, then it's okay, let me check the accounts, you might as well invite me to drink." In fact, Xu Haifeng's words are not prevaricating, he was born poor, he just knows a few big characters, if he really wants him to help manage the account books, he must be more and more helpful, not to mention that the account books here are written like heavenly books, he looks at it is a headache, where can it be more happy than drinking flower wine.

Xiang Ming shook his head and said, "Little brother, your family has a big business in the future, so you have to learn something in this regard." Seeing that although Xu Haifeng nodded yes, it was obvious that his left ear was in and his right ear was out, so he didn't go to his heart at all. Reluctantly gave up the idea of continuing to preach.

He pointed to the account book and said, "Lin'an City is the eastern base camp of the Caesar people, and this time all the supplies in the vicinity have been gathered here. Therefore, the abundance of the collection is far higher than I estimate. Excluding real estate, the treasures, antiques, and various equipment and materials counted this time totaled 58.76 million taels of silver. ”

Xu Haifeng spit out the sip of ginseng tea he had just drunk with a "poof", he raised his head sharply and asked loudly, "How much?" ”

Xiang Ming seemed to have a premonition, and his old god said slowly under the gaze of Xu Haifeng who was about to burst into flames: "Five thousand eight million seven hundred and sixty thousand taels of silver." ”

"My mother, are these Caesars robbers? How can there be so many things. Xu Haifeng touched the fine beard slag protruding from his jaw and said.

Xiang Ming explained: "They came all the way from the west, and what they did was the act of banditry. This is already the third batch of looted items, and it is said that the first two shipments to Caesar have exceeded that. They had planned to ship back to Caesar in the spring of next year, but they didn't want to cheapen us now. ”

"So much money, big brother, we really got rich this time."

Seeing Xu Haifeng's excited and incoherent words, Xiang Ming shook his head and said, "Little brother, although the emperor once said that all the children in this city belong to you and me, but we can't swallow them all." ”

Xu Haifeng was stunned, and suddenly understood, and said: "What the eldest brother said is that you have to give others some sweetness, otherwise it will be too jealous." ”

Xiang Ming nodded with satisfaction, Xindao finally didn't see the wrong person, if Xu Haifeng wanted to swallow it alone after learning so much money, then he wouldn't be worthy of his own fellowship.

"I calculated, it will take about 20 million taels to arrange various points, of which the filial piety to the royal family and the dividends to the four major families account for seventy percent. So there are thirty-eight million taels left. I only take 30% of this money, and the rest is yours brother. ”

Xu Haifeng was stunned for a moment, and said: "The eldest brother said that he laughed, the younger brother can get half of this city, all of which was given to me by the eldest brother in front of the emperor, otherwise the younger brother will get nothing." If it is really according to the assignment of the eldest brother, then the younger brother will not become ungrateful. ”

"Who fought this city, as long as the eyes are not blind, it is very clear, I would like to add five to you, but I am not so thick-skinned. Money is a thing that everyone likes, but it must also be taken in a proper way, and I account for 30% of the dry shares, which is already the limit. To tell the truth, if it weren't for the fact that this city needs to be in the name of our family, I wouldn't even be embarrassed to take these three floors. Xiang Ming said in a deep voice.

Seeing that Xu Haifeng was about to speak, he waved his hand and said, "Little brother doesn't need to say much, if you can afford me, this matter will be settled." I also have something to discuss with you. ”

Xu Haifeng saw that he was so firm in what he said, so he had to give up for the time being: "If the eldest brother has something to order, the younger brother will obey everything." ”

"We can't take out all of this property at once, we take 20 million and leave 15 million as the city's development fund. According to my estimate, after this war, the Caesar people will definitely send an envoy to sue for peace, then there will be at least ten years of stability here, since it is our fiefdom, we must manage it well. The city occupies a favorable place at the right time, and if it is properly operated, the annual return should be more than five million taels. Such a thin stream of water is the right way. ”

Xu Haifeng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and only after Xiang Ming finished speaking, he stretched out his thumb and said, "The eldest brother is worthy of being born in a family and is thoughtful. Excuse me, big brother, do you mean that the two of us can get an income of five million silver tattoos a year? ”

Xiang Ming said with a sigh: "How can there be so many, at most one million." Among the five million, the tribute to the imperial court is one, and the camp on the Western Front must also get a share, and at least one million taels of reserve funds must be left, and the rest is the net income of you and me. ”

"It is natural to pay tribute to the imperial court, but why should the camp on the Western Front share it for nothing?" Xu Haifeng asked puzzled.

Xiang Ming picked up the teacup, took a sip of the fragrant ginseng tea, spun it around in his mouth, swallowed it slowly, and said: "If one of your brothers and I can guard here, of course you don't have to sell the face of the Western Front camp." ”

Xu Haifeng pondered the meaning of his words, was shocked in his heart, and asked, "Big brother, you belong to the Red Ocean, so naturally you want to go back." But the younger brother has been fighting on the Western Front, should he also be transferred? ”

"Little brother, before Your Majesty left, he once instructed that once you finish training, you must be transferred to the Beijing Division."

"Why is that?"

Xiang Ming looked at Xu Haifeng with a pair of eyes shining, and looked at him uncomfortably, and said after a long time: "Little brother, you have made a great contribution this time, but when it comes to the meritorious reward, you only got this half of Lin'an City, or I asked you for it." In addition, you have been promoted to a knighthood. ”

Xu Haifeng was born poor, and he never thought that he would one day become the lord of a city, so he has always been satisfied. But after mentioning it, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong. The Han Dynasty has the most important military merits, and his Black Flag Army can be said to have made the first contribution in this battle, and he, the leader, will also be promoted by a certain amount, but from beginning to end, there is no news or omen of improvement at all. He muttered, "yes, what's going on?" ”

Xiang Ming sneered and said, "Why? It's not because your Black Flag Army is too sharp and chilling. I have asked you many times to give you credit, but they all agree that you have only been promoted to the rank of general for less than a year, and you cannot be promoted again. Even those old opponents are in unison, they cooperate so tacitly, they are afraid of you. ”

"Scared of me?"

"Yes, Gu Dao Fu once suggested to His Majesty that no matter what, you should not be allowed to command more than 10,000 troops."

Xu Haifeng was furious and said: "I have no grudge against Gu Dashuai, why did he say this about me." ”

"It's very simple, do you know what Gu Dao Beard says about your Black Flag Army?"

"What did he say?" Although Xu Haifeng was very annoyed with Gu Dao Beard, he knew that this person had been in the military for decades, and he still had this vision, and he also wanted to know what other people thought of the Black Flag Army.

"The Black Flag Army is the division of tigers and wolves, one of them is not to worry about, ten people can be worth a hundred, a hundred people can break ten thousand troops, and more than a thousand people, even the Sky Eagle Legion does not dare to face the enemy head-on. If 10,000 people become an army......" Xiang Ming said here, silent.

Xu Haifeng was surprised when he heard this, and he didn't expect Gu Dao to have such a high evaluation of the Black Flag Army, thinking that a thousand Black Flag Army would be able to compete head-on with the Sky Eagle Legion, one of the five major legions of the empire. I couldn't help but want to know the results of 10,000 people, but Xiang Ming sold it when he said this, Xu Haifeng was anxious, and hurriedly urged: "Big brother, how about 10,000 people forming an army?" Hurry up. ”

Xiang Ming looked up at the sky, as if recalling the situation when Gu Dao said these words beside Emperor Han Xian, at that time, several imperial generals were there, including one of his clan uncles. At that time, he was asking for an official position for Xu Haifeng, and Emperor Han Xian was also hesitant, but Gu Dao's words completely ruined Xu Haifeng's dream of being promoted to an official position.

Xiang Ming looked at Xu Haifeng, just like the ancient Dao beard at that time actually looked directly at Emperor Han Xian.

"The black flag is less than 10,000, and the 10,000 are invincible."
