Chapter 267: Chongzhen of Excitement
The voice was not loud, and the tone was extremely relaxed, but it made the originally lively banquet scene so quiet that it could be heard all of a sudden. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Luck's eyes were slightly bulging, his eyes were straight, and for a long time he thought he had heard it wrong. He guessed that Qin Shuhuai's hands were black, but he never expected his hands to be so black!
What is the concept of three million taels? So far, the total income of the Giant Whale Gang on the canal has reached about 3.2 million taels a year. If you remove the food, drink, and Lazar of nearly 10,000 brothers, and then remove the "protection money" and some favors for several major factions, you can save 1 million taels a year. In other words, if they want to come up with 3 million taels, the Giant Whale Gang will have to work for nothing for three years! And the Giant Whale Gang has only worked for a few years to move from the coast to the canal for development? Seven years! And he didn't make any money at all in the past few years! In this way, Qin Shuhuai's fluttering words are equivalent to asking the Giant Whale Gang to donate more than eighty percent of the profits they have made on the canal over the years!
Chongzhen was also shocked. He originally thought that Qin Shuhuai's methods of extorting bamboo would be more ruthless, but he didn't expect that he was not ruthless, but brutal, and it was simply a cruelty that lost his conscience. As soon as he opened his mouth, it was 3 million taels, which is fully three-fifths of the tax revenue of the entire next year! And more importantly, it's just the Whale Gang. It is said that the territory of the Cao Gang is bigger than that of the Giant Whale Gang, and it has been entrenched on the canal for many years, so how much will Brother Qin knock on them at that time? Anyway, it must be more than that!
Chongzhen put down his chopsticks painfully and sighed again and again in his heart. I thought that asking for five million taels with Brother Qin would be considered a lion's mouth, but I didn't expect him to be much darker than himself. If I had known this, I would have to ask him for at least eight million taels! These eight million taels of light would have been made up by the Giant Whale Gang and the Cao Gang! You must know that Brother Qin could also go to Jiangnan to blackmail the rich, and then this number would probably be even more astonishing!
What a miscalculation!
Qin Shuhuai was the only one in the audience who was smiling, and he also put on the image of a harmless good citizen.
Yun Feng was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Gang Leader Qin, the establishment of an alliance is certainly a major event for martial arts in the future, and the Giant Whale Gang naturally wants to help. However, these three million taels are indeed a bit unbearable for the disdainful gang. ”
Qin Shuhuai smiled and said, "Gang Master, Qin Mou also established this alliance for the long-term stability of the martial arts. However, the Jianghe Gang is indeed limited in its ability now, so it is cheeky to ask for help from your gang. The name of the chivalrous lord of the Yun Gang is well known to the world, and I believe that he will not stand idly by. ”
When Yun Feng heard this, he immediately scolded Qin Shuhuai in his heart for the eighteenth generation. What is it for the long-term stability of the martial arts? Aren't you a threat to me from Chiguoguo? You mean that if the Giant Whale Gang can't come up with this money, the martial arts will not be able to maintain peace for a long time, and your Jianghe Gang will come to swallow the territory of the Giant Whale Gang, right?
After scolding, he had to admit the reality - it was indeed easy for the River Gang to destroy the Giant Whale Gang. Compared to the Exterminating Gang, silver is nothing. But even so, you have to pay me back, right?
Thinking of this, Yun Feng said, "Don't hide it from the Qin gang leader, the contempt gang does have limited financial resources at the moment. Why don't we give out two million taels first, and let us raise the remaining one million taels slowly, how about it?"
Qin Shuhuai smiled faintly in his heart, and slowly raised? Isn't that the same as nothing?
So he said, "The master of the Yun gang has something to do, and Qin understands it very well. But as I said just now, the alliance needs to be landed as soon as possible, and I'm afraid it won't be delayed for that long. Otherwise, your gang will help me raise 2.8 million taels, and it will not be in vain for the friendship between your two gangs!"
Luck Feng sighed in his heart, it seems that the other party will not let go after this bite. What is the meaning of friendship between the two gangs, doesn't this mean that if the Giant Whale Gang does not pay the money, the two gangs will no longer be friendly?
Anyway, saving 200,000 taels is also money. As long as this alliance can rise, it should pay some money to keep it safe.
So he said, "Gang Leader Qin, although this money is a great difficulty for the Giant Whale Gang, now that Gang Leader Qin has spoken, the Giant Whale Gang is duty-bound. However, it takes time to raise a huge amount of money, and the 2.8 million taels need to be divided into two payments, one million taels each, and they will be escorted to your gang in three days. The other 1.8 million taels may not be presented to the Qin gang leader until the day the alliance is established. ”
Luck's intention is also very clear, that is, if the Jianghe Gang really establishes an alliance and the safety of the Giant Whale Gang is guaranteed, then the money will be recognized.
When Qin Shuhuai saw that he had said this, he no longer had to work hard with each other. One is that this martial arts alliance itself will definitely let it land, and the time is only within a few months, so the remaining 1.8 million taels are not afraid that the giant whale gang will not pay it. The second is that after all, if you want to be the leader of the Wulin Alliance in the future, you need the support of most gangs, so don't press too the Giant Whale Gang, and leave some affection, so that you can see each other in the future.
So he said, "The righteousness of the Yun Gang Master, Qin admires it to the fullest! Since this is the case, this matter has been decided." Qin represents the Jianghe Gang, and respects the leader of the Gang!"
Chongzhen's heart pounded excitedly, and the two million 800,000 taels of silver were just in his hands! Brother Qin is very good! I can do a lot of things with this money alone!
So he immediately stood up, raised his wine glass and said to Yun Feng, "Yun Gang Master is righteous, I also salute Yun Gang Master!"
Luck Feng smiled, "The two of you praised it." Come, for the sake of the love of the two gangs, and for the return of the martial arts to the prosperous world, we did it!"
The rest of the people also stood up, and everyone drank the wine in their glasses.
Yun Feng didn't know that he might be the first person in the martial arts besides Qin Shuhuai to be toasted by the current emperor. However, Chongzhen's glass of wine is sincere and willing. People have used so much silver to support the imperial court, how can they not toast a glass? Not to mention a toast, it is to accompany others to drink a jar of Chongzhen!
When it comes to this, both parties let go of their worries, and all that's left is to have a good drink. Jianghu people drink in a variety of ways, what punching, throwing chips, and drinking orders, all kinds of things. Chongzhen usually lives in the deep palace for a long time, how have he ever seen this kind of play? For a while, it seemed to open the door to a new world, and after playing a few games, he became addicted, and Qin Shuhuai couldn't pull it. The Giant Whale Gang only said that he was Qin Shuhuai's "best friend", so naturally they had enough fun with him.
Chongzhen was happy in his heart. First, he successfully knocked on a bamboo bar, which made him fully believe that Qin Shuhuai could make up five million taels. For Da Ming, these five million taels are simply a long drought and a rainstorm, and it is a big rain, how can he not be excited? Second, this is the first time he has seen so many interesting things among the people, compared to the boring life in the palace, even a simple throwing of bamboo and wine makes him feel extremely interesting!
So his juvenile nature was completely unleashed. He wanted to drink, he wanted to brag with those martial arts people, he wanted to slap the table with them to urge others to drink, and he wanted to pat his thighs and laugh without any scruples.
After glass of wine, Chongzhen really drank too much.
Holding Qin Shuhuai's hand, he began to chatter again, "Brother Qin, I want to talk to you about myself, and what I don't say to others......"
I?!
Several people present suddenly showed confused expressions.
