Zhao Jiuye did not rush to express his opinion, but threw the question to everyone present, and said, this Netherworld Sect has been tossing and turning on the rivers and lakes recently, what do you think?

The master of the dark hall Qin Tang said, this demon sect has become more and more arrogant recently, and it has frequently interfered in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, which is more than in the past, and has already aroused the anger of people and gods, and even hit the idea on the head of our Sihetang, Ninth Master, if we don't fight back, I am afraid that the people in the rivers and lakes will see the joke.

After the battle of Fengyun Island, Xu Ruonan led the sect to launch a counterattack, and the killing was very heavy, even I was faintly worried. Xu Ruonan is an ambitious person, and if he has revenge, he will take revenge, and now the Netherworld God Cult is in the rivers and lakes, like a hungry wolf, frantically encroaching on the forces of the rivers and lakes, and annexing various major sects. Shaolin, Wudang and other major sects that can compete with them on the rivers and lakes sit on the mountain and watch, and have no intention of interfering in this matter, I am afraid that within a year, the Netherworld Sect will become the largest gang on the rivers and lakes.

The Song Hall Master of the Qinglong Hall said, our Sihe Hall is based in the capital, but since the Netherworld Sect has moved our interests and wants to get a piece of the pie from our mouths, it is absolutely impossible, and his subordinates also suggest discussing an explanation with the Netherworld Sect.

Everyone also responded one after another, saying that they could not condone the Netherworld God Sect Hu Lai, and some people thought that the Netherworld Sect was strong and there was no need to rush to war, but the one-armed Pingsi of the Vermilion Bird Hall was silent. Zhao Jiuye asked, Pingsi, tell me your opinion. Ping Si said respectfully, Ninth Master, it is you who make the decision, and your subordinates only need to implement it, and they don't dare to criticize themselves.

I can't help but secretly praise, this Ping Si is too able to figure out the opinions of the peak. Zhao Jiuye nominally let everyone participate in the discussion, but judging from what I know about him, I'm afraid he has already had an idea, so Ping Si's answer is very satisfactory to Zhao Jiuye.

Zhao Jiuye motioned for everyone to be silent, and said slowly, what did we rely on to get to where we are today?

Someone even shouted, innovation and talent!

Zhao Jiuye glanced at the man and said, boom out!

I laughed secretly in my heart, this guy's reflex arc is long enough, those clichés just now have been turned over, you are still here to show off, you deserve to be kicked out. Two big men came to the man and drove him out of the Mingyue Tower like chickens.

Zhao Jiuye said, it is forbearance and low-key. This is the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, no more than the rivers and lakes, the emphasis is on making a fortune in a muffled voice. Let me ask you, are we afraid of the Netherworld God Cult in the Quadrangle, how sure are we if we really start a war?

Everyone talked about it, some said fifty percent, some said three percent. In fact, the real strength of the Sihetang is far stronger than it seems on the surface, the inner four and outer eight hall masters, the highest martial arts are only in the Xuan Realm, but in the inner village, there are masters like clouds, not to mention anything else, the two old men who played the black and white chess, martial arts are probably already a general phenomenon.

This is the real strength of Sihetang, but it is not known to people in the rivers and lakes, everyone thinks that Neizhuang is just a high-end entertainment place in Sihetang.

Zhao Jiuye said confidently, I am 100% sure of defeating the Netherworld Sect.

Everyone said in unison, the Sihetang is invincible, and the ninth master is wise!

Zhao Jiuye continued, however, now that the capital is an eventful time, now is not the best time to start a war, since the Netherworld Sect wants to toss, then let them toss. I heard that the sect leader is a descendant daughter surnamed Xu, and I am very interested in meeting her for a while.

At this time, a steward leaned in Zhao Jiuye's ear and said a few words, I didn't release the spider silk Zhenyuan to listen, Zhao Jiuye's martial arts are general, I am afraid that he will find out. After Zhao Jiuye heard this, he said loudly, I will tell you a piece of news, just last night, Xu Ruonan, the leader of the Netherworld Sect, brought her Sect Sect Elders and Precept Elders into Beijing.

What? Xu Ruonan came to the capital?

I was surprised and delighted in my heart, surprised that she came here without even saying hello, and happy that after four months, I could finally see her again. However, what did Xu Ruonan come to the capital for? It won't be to kill people, right?

Qi Xiaowei said, Ninth Master, my subordinates thought that this Netherworld Sect Master was not enough to cause trouble.

Why?

Qi Xiaowei said, the Netherworld Sect Master is a woman, and a woman's heart is always softer. What's more, she also has an Achilles' heel, that is, she has a sweetheart named Su Youzai, who is now on an errand in the six doors. If we really tear our faces with the Netherworld Sect, as long as Su Youyou is captured, I'm afraid Xu Ruonan will have to give in.

Zhao Jiuye said with a smile, women still understand women.

I said in my heart that Qi Xiaowei was afraid that she would underestimate Xu Ruonan, although she was a woman, but she killed people unequivocally, and used me to threaten Xu Ruonan, I guess there was no drama at all.

Zhao Jiuye said again, that Su is still there, but the kid who made a big fuss in Songhe Tower not long ago?

One-armed Ping Sidao, it was this person, after that incident, Lu Zhongyuan locked him in the six doors, probably because he was afraid that we would seek revenge.

I laughed in my heart, I am in front of you now, but you don't recognize me.

Zhao Jiuye said that young people are really getting bolder now, and they are really terrifying.

Zhao Jiuye thought for a moment, seemed to have made up his mind, shifted the topic, and said, this matter will be discussed at a later date. New Year's Day, let's talk about something happy, we have been in business so far, there has always been a meritorious reward, there must be a punishment, let's talk about the year-end bonus.

Everyone hurriedly pricked up their ears.

As the saying goes, a man lives seventy to stutter and eat. Everyone gets up early and is greedy for darkness, and they have been busy all year long, just for a good word. I heard Qi Xiaowei say that the amount of bonus at the end of the year is huge, and everyone wants to make a little more money from it.

Zhao Jiuye cleared his throat and said slowly, this time the dividend, we are going to change the model, silver, Sihetang has, I want you to say for yourselves, what you have done this year, how much money you have earned for Sihetang, and how much silver you should take. Fur Hall Master Liu, will you talk about it first?

In the outer eight halls, the fur hall is in charge of the fur business in the capital, this Liu hall master, pointed chin, eight-character beard, not tall, lean and lean. He stood up and said, Ninth Master, our Fur Hall had a turnover of 40,000 taels of silver last year, and a total of 17,000 taels of profit for the Sihe Hall, of course, these are all thanks to your wise leadership, and we are very satisfied if we can share 7,000 taels in dividends.

Zhao Jiuye groaned, well, this is very reasonable, accurate!

A clerk hurriedly wrote it down with a pen.

The hall masters began to discuss with their subordinates, but as soon as Hall Master Liu spoke, Zhao Jiuye happily agreed, and they also had their own calculations, thinking about how much dividends they wanted was more reasonable.

But...... Zhao Jiuye paused for a moment and asked, Hall Master Liu, I heard that your wife is very ugly, but you have been married for more than 20 years, but you have always respected each other like guests, and you are very affectionate?

Hall Master Liu was stunned for a moment, a little confused, and said, Sage Yun, the wife of the dregs doesn't go to the church, I, Liu San'er, have been down, she can suffer with me, and she didn't abandon me in the most difficult time, how can I be willing not to want her?

Zhao Jiuye said with a smile, I heard again, you have three outer rooms in the capital?

Liu San was a little confused, and he didn't understand what Zhao Jiuye meant, so he had to say that his subordinates didn't have any skills, so he just took this bite and made Jiu Ye laugh.

Zhao Jiuye continued, I also heard that you wrote off 30,000 moldy sheepskins last year, sold them at the price of one, two or three sheepskins, and earned 4,000 taels of silver for Sihetang?

Liu San's body began to tremble a little, and he forced himself to calm down, these are all carried out after the approval of the Ninth Master.

Zhao Jiuye suddenly said sharply, then you can explain, on the account of your three-room outer room, each person has an extra three thousand taels of silver, what is going on?

Liu San fluttered and fell to the ground, the ninth master spared his life!

Zhao Jiuye sneered, what are you guilty of? On the contrary, I want to reward you! As he spoke, with a clapping of his hands, someone dragged a tray up, with a pot of wine and a wine glass on it, and came to Liu San.

Liu San was a little puzzled. Zhao Jiuye said, your body is weak, and the three outer rooms are like wolves and tigers, I am afraid that your body will not be able to bear it, so I specially found someone to prepare you with a pot of Hongmao medicinal wine, with a poinsettia of crane top red, to replenish your body. Drink it, and you will take the money and leave.

Liu San's whole body trembled, he couldn't stand on the ground, kowtowed like a chicken pecking rice, and shouted for mercy. Zhao Jiuye said, do you know who told me this? It is your original wife! Liu San looked up to the sky and sighed, the most poisonous woman in the world, I am unwilling!

He was about to drink, and suddenly threw the wine jug at Zhao Jiuye, performed light skills, and ran away. He had only run a few steps before he heard a scream, and several short arrows pierced through his body, and he lay straight on the ground with round eyes, blood gurgling and staining the ground red.

Zhao Jiuye took the wine jug, drank it all, and said, it's a pity that there is a good pot of wine.

He pointed to the plaque in the hall that read Mingyue Tower, and said, I was going to turn my heart to the bright moon, but who knew that the bright moon shone on the ditch. Several black-clothed people flashed out of the darkness and dragged Liu San's body out, marking a blood-red mark on the ground.

Sihetang is such a big gang, and it is all engaged in profiteering business, everyone here is in a high position, and how many people have clean butts? After Liu San's incident, everyone's enthusiasm immediately decreased.

Zhao Jiuye asked the master of the salt tea hall again, the master of the high hall, tell me, how much bonus should you take in the salt tea hall?

The master of the high hall is white and fat, with a big belly and poop, and the people in the rivers and lakes call the smiling Maitreya, he stood up, and the urn said angrily, Ninth Master, our salt tea hall made a profit of less than 100,000 taels last year, I really don't have the face to ask for money, I also discussed with a few deputy hall masters when I came, this time for the New Year, we also want to make up 5,000 taels from private funds and hand it over to the main hall!

Zhao Jiuye nodded with satisfaction, the salt tea hall still needs to make persistent efforts!

Next, several hall masters expressed their attitudes one after another, saying that this year's business targets were not well completed, and it was already faceless to be able to work in the Sihetang, so where did they have the face to ask the ninth master for money? Hmph, these people cry poor all day long, but compared to their lives, it's better to spend money to buy peace. Even Qi Xiaowei took the initiative to donate 1,000 taels of silver for the renovation of the main hall of the Sihetang.

Zhao Jiuye smiled at the corner of his mouth, and when his statement was over, he harvested nearly 30,000 taels of silver. Only then did he say, the master of the Salt Tea Hall had an unfortunate heart attack today and left us, he has worked hard in the Sihe Hall for 30 years, and I suggest a minute of silence for him.

After everyone finished performing, he asked, as the saying goes, the country can't be without a king for a day, and the hall can't be without a leader, who is more appropriate to take over the position of the head of the salt tea hall?

Qi Xiaowei said, Ninth Master, you have the final say in this matter!

Zhao Jiuye said, your Baihutang has done a good job recently, especially the newcomer Jiang Xiaobai, who has brains, means, and courage, especially the new policy of protection fee reform, which has brought huge benefits to Sihetang, I think he is more suitable, and he is ready to promote him exceptionally, do you have any opinions?

I secretly made a stir, I have only been in the Sihe Hall for less than half a month, from the ordinary hall to the position of the master of the outer eight halls, this promotion speed is faster than a rocket, where is this exceptional promotion, this is clearly to roast me on the barbecue grill, put it in the pot to cook.

As the assistant to the hall master of the White Tiger Hall, it is enough to arouse people's jealousy, and when he comes out like this, the other hall masters still don't regard me as a thorn in their side? Thinking of this, I was about to refuse, but I heard someone shout, I don't agree!
