Chapter 224: Blackmailing the Mayor of the Town
"Sorry, I don't have a fire here, and smoking is not allowed in the car."
Tang Yi tilted his head and looked at the mayor with an unlit cigarette in his mouth, thinking quickly in his heart, and spoke softly after a few seconds.
"Fat mayor, I don't want to cause trouble, and I don't want to make trouble, but you can't treat me as a beggar, 30,000 gold coins a month, I will never ask about military supplies again, whether you are transporting cigarettes and wine, or military weapons, it has nothing to do with me, this is also my bottom line."
The smile on the mayor's face gradually condensed, and a cold air began to appear in his eyes.
"Young man, 30,000 gold coins is not a decimal number, have you spent it every month?"
"Hehe, this doesn't bother the town chief, in fact, everyone is seeking wealth, and harmony is the most important, otherwise if the truck that delivers supplies every month has something wrong on the way, then the town chief will have to worry about it at that time."
"Hahaha, okay, what Battalion Commander Tang Yi said makes sense, then 30,000 gold coins per month, and I will have someone send it to your military camp when the time comes."
"No, no, the town elders are so generous, why am I embarrassed to sit at home and collect money, I will come to pick it up in person on the fourth of every month, so do you think this month will be handed over to me today?"
"No problem, it's all trivial."
After the mayor finished speaking, he opened the drawer of the small table in the middle, and took out three golden tickets from it at random, each with a denomination of exactly 10,000, Tang Yi suddenly felt that he seemed to be less, and at the same time, he was even more curious, what was on the truck behind.
After receiving the golden ticket, Tang Yi got out of the carriage very interestingly, greeted the old camel squatting on the side of the road and counting the gold coins, and walked towards the town.
At this time, both sides of East Street were still full of people, looking at him with fear and a little hatred, because he had caused these people to lose a lot of money in the gamble.
When Tang Yi walked towards the table where the gambling game was opened, the crowd around automatically made way for him, and the few people who opened the gambling game sitting at the table immediately stood up and took out two heavy cloth bags from the bottom of the table and put them on the table.
"Major, this is the money you won from your bet, exactly a thousand gold coins."
One of the people with a mustache pushed a cloth bag in front of Tang Yi as he spoke, and as soon as Tang Yi picked it up, he pushed another cloth bag over as well.
"Major, this is the money that Mr. Grace won from a bet of one hundred gold coins for you, and he told you that the money belongs to you."
It seems that the strong man who was standing on the balcony on the second floor just now smoking a cigar is really a "madman Grace", and he didn't expect that it was his subordinates who opened this temporary gambling game, compared to this "madman Grace" is better than the fat mayor, but he only gave a thousand gold coins, which is really as stingy as the fat mayor.
Tang Yi unceremoniously picked up the bag of gold coins and said with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Grace for me, I have written down his friendship." ”
After saying that, Tang Yi turned around and left, walked to the old camel standing on the periphery of the crowd, and put two bags of gold coins on the camel, at this time the old camel was still in a state of confusion, and looked at Tang Yi with disbelief from time to time.
"Old camel, you are familiar with this place, if I want to repair the wall of our barracks, and the two-story building where the two of us live, how much will it cost?"
Hearing that Tang Yi was going to repair the barracks, the old camel's somewhat cloudy eyes suddenly brightened, after all, he had special feelings for this barracks, and at the same time, he also gave up the idea of going into the desert to find his comrades again, and planned to go after the barracks were repaired.
"If it's just the fence and the battalion office building, it won't cost much, but five thousand gold coins should be enough."
"What? Just get some stones to repair the wall, and repair the doors and windows on the second floor for 5,000 gold coins? Isn't this a robbery? ”
"Stone and glass are expensive here, and transportation is not cheap."
Well, think about it, this is the Gobi Desert area, and there should be nothing but sand.
"Okay, five thousand is five thousand, are the furniture items here expensive?"
"The wooden furniture is fine, the other things are expensive."
"Uncle, what a broken place", Tang Yi complained, and then sighed, "Alas! Forget it, you go and contact the people who repair the barracks, I'll go to the slightest personal matter, by the way, the glass will wait for seven days, and then repair the other first, and the camel will be borrowed for me. ”
The old camel didn't ask why he waited for seven days to install the glass again, in fact, Tang Yi was afraid that he would be distressed, he could extort 30,000 gold coins from the fat mayor today, don't look at the mayor of the town to give the money very happily, if he didn't assassinate Tang Yi in the past few days, Tang Yi read the name upside down.
After the old camel left, Tang Yi directly put the two thousand gold coins into the Qiankun ring, and then led the camel to the post office he saw before.
The letter sent to Muni City is a gold coin, and the letter sent to the Northern Molten Snow City costs three gold coins a piece, and the hated Tang Yiya is itching, bandits, all the people here are fucking bandits.
Out of the post office next to the bank is a bank, Tang Yi went in and exchanged the 30,000 gold tickets for gold coins, but he didn't expect that the gold tickets would be exchanged for gold coins with a 5% handling fee, and if it was too expensive, he could also go to Shaman City to exchange them.
Robbers, outright robbers, the angry Tang Yi almost wanted to fly to Sharman City, but in the end he reluctantly spent a handling fee of 1,500 gold coins, no way, a golden ticket with a denomination of 10,000 really can't buy things directly.
After collecting these gold coins into the Qiankun ring, Tang Yi began to wander around the city, planning to buy more food, put some of it in the Qiankun ring for storage, and bring the rest back to the barracks.
After finishing the food, Tang Yi bought bedding, toothbrushes, towels and other daily necessities, and all of them were in duplicate, the same one was brought back to the barracks, and the other was put into the Qiankun ring.
By the pond in the center of the town, the old camel who had finished contacting the repair was going to take the old camel to find a restaurant to taste the special food of the west, but in the end, I thought about it or forgot it, what if I was poisoned again?
Before leaving Sweetwater Town, Tang Yi asked the old camel to buy a horse with him, because there were no two people sitting on the camel's back.
At noon the next day after returning to the barracks, the trucks transporting stones and the wagons of wood drove into the barracks one after another, the old camel commanded the unloading, and took the workers to tell each place to be repaired in detail, even if the workers began to work, he was also walking back and forth beside him, Tang Yi stood at the window of his room and looked at the old camel that was not the same as usual, and suddenly felt that the old camel must be an extremely enthusiastic and very lively person.
After the second stroke of the word "control" changed color, Tang Yi began to trace the word "speed" again, he planned to trace the word "speed" to all the color changes first, and then his speed would reach ten times, which was also equivalent to the speed of the tenth-level martial energy, of course, it was just an ordinary tenth-level martial ability without any other martial arts or skills, but there were very few people with tenth-level martial arts who did not have special martial arts.
