Chapter 314 Secret

The Sea Shark Gang pays a lot of tribute to the imperial court every year.

A full fifty million taels.

The silver was not included in the treasury of the Great Qian, but all of it went into the emperor's private pocket, that is, the inner nu, for the emperor's personal enjoyment.

Every few years, Emperor Qianhuang would go to the south of the Yangtze River, spending a lot of money.

Among them, the Sea Shark Gang has to bear a large part.

Every year, the Sea Shark Gang stuffs a lot of money into the senior members of the DPRK and China.

If it weren't for the Sea Shark Gang's huge profits from the smuggling salt, they would have been overwhelmed a long time ago.

It is also the Sea Shark Gang that pays a lot of tribute to the emperor every year, so that they can keep the salt between the government and the private partnership.

Emperor Qianhuang tasted the sweetness, and he was still quite satisfied with the tribute of the Sea Shark Gang.

Therefore, the Cangxing Dynasty proposed several times to defeat the Sea Shark Gang and put the revenue of the salt government and private economy under the ownership of the imperial court, so as to avoid the continuous expansion of the power of the rivers and lakes and the formation of an inextricable chain of interests in the local area.

Then, the sea shark helped this cash cow, how could the emperor be willing to abolish it.

did not agree to Cang Xingchao's proposal, but was faintly dissatisfied with him.

It was precisely this point that the prince seized and attacked the six gates.

In other words, the Sea Sharks have been able to get to where they are today completely by relying on money.

Tong Baichuan must not throw away the public-private partnership of salt.

This is his means of collecting money.

And now, he raised the tribute to 80 million taels, undoubtedly to curry favor with the emperor.

As everyone knows, that emperor has a very big appetite.

The more this happened, the more greedy he became.

"Helper, no. ”

Elder Lian holds the financial power of the Sea Shark Gang, and knows more about the situation of the Sea Shark Gang than even Tong Baichuan.

"The Emperor is insatiable, if the tribute is raised to 80 million taels, the appetite will grow more and more in the future, and in the end, the Sea Shark Gang will definitely be overwhelmed and sucked dry by the imperial court. ”

Elder Lian said with a look of urgency.

This kind of thing is not something that can be decided by patting the head.

After a pause, Elder Lian continued: "I heard that the Qianhuang will go down to the south of the Yangtze River this year, and then a huge amount of money will be needed.

Even if it makes the emperor happy for a while, it is of no great use. At the moment, it is still necessary to contact all parties to clamp down on the beggars and the six gates, and it is imperative for us to concentrate on dealing with the world meeting. ”

"Little family gas!"

Tong Baichuan snorted, ignoring Elder Lian's words at all, and said proudly: "With the financial resources of the Sea Shark Gang, what is a mere 80 million taels, even if it is 100 million taels? The key is to make His Majesty the Emperor happy, otherwise why send money to the imperial court every year." ”

Over the years, the sea sharks have collected all the money.

Although it is not as good as the Gu family, its financial resources are definitely not weak.

Even so, the strength is stronger than the Gu family.

This is also the reason why Tong Baichuan is full of confidence.

The Sea Sharks are not short of money.

The only thing is that the imperial court cannot take back the right to run salt in a public-private partnership.

If so, the blow to the Sea Sharks will be too great.

Elder Lian froze for a moment.

"There is no need to discuss this matter again. ”

Tong Baichuan waved his hand and did not continue, and the matter was settled.

"Helper, it is said that the Emperor will go to Jiangnan this year, I don't know when?"

At this time, an elder below suddenly asked.

It's a big deal.

Every few years, Emperor Qianhuang would go down to the south of the Yangtze River.

And the cost is basically borne by the major families in Jiangnan, of course, the Sea Shark Gang can't escape, and a huge amount of money must be paid.

Emperor Qianhuang has been extravagant in recent years.

This time to go to the south of the Yangtze River, it will cost a lot of money.

Tong Baichuan said: "There is no news on this matter, there should be a few months, once the Emperor Qianhuang decides to go to Jiangnan, we will get the news in advance, don't worry too much." ”

"Yes, helper. Everyone at the bottom responded in unison.

Originally, everyone thought that this meeting was almost over.

Who knows, Tong Baichuan has no intention of ending at all.

Therefore, everyone also watched their noses and noses, and quietly waited for the next step of the helper.

"I heard that the ancestor of the Xie family is going to die?"

Tong Baichuan suddenly spoke.

Without waiting for everyone to respond, Tong Baichuan turned to the black robe and asked, "Have you been to investigate?"

"Due to his injury, the ancestor of the Xie family is nearing his life, or he may be dying soon. ”

The black robe shrouded in black shadows, and he said slowly in a hoarse voice.

After a pause, the black robe added: "Therefore, the Xie family is looking for help, otherwise as soon as the ancestor of the Xie family dies, the entire family will be slowly eroded, especially the Tianxia Society, Yao Wankui has always been ambitious, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not take advantage of the fire to rob." ”

"Haha, Old Ghost Yao is indeed capable of this kind of thing. ”

Tong Baichuan laughed, and then said to the Lian Elder below: "Lian Elder, you go and tell the Xie family that my Sea Shark Gang is willing to form an alliance with the Xie family." ”

Everyone below was slightly stunned.

Elder Lian asked, "Helper, I don't know what the conditions are?"

"There are no conditions, just let the Xie family restrict the beggars in Jiangzhou a little. ”

Tong Baichuan said.

Well?

The crowd was even more puzzled.

Tong Baichuan has never been profitable and can't afford to be early.

Why did you suddenly change sex today?

"What if the Xie family doesn't want to?"

Elder Lian asked again.

Tong Baichuan sneered: "Don't want to, then who else can he find to help? Once the ancestor of the Xie family dies and does not return to the powerhouse of the virtual realm, the Xie family will be kicked out of the list of the thirty-six major forces in the rivers and lakes." ”

Obviously, Tong Baichuan is not very kind.

He just wanted to eat the Xie family.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

As for whether there will be any accidents, we can only take one step at a time.

It's too early to tell.

"In this matter, the black robe will go with you, so that the Xie family will also know that they have no other choice. ”

Tong Baichuan snorted and said.

The black robe nodded.

"In addition, Tang Yuan of the six doors will ignore him for the time being, and he will talk about it later, but if he dares to go against my Sea Shark Gang again, you don't have to be polite. ”

Tong Baichuan sneered.

The last sentence was obviously said to the black robe.

If it was because of Lu Tianxing, he would let this son bully the head of the Sea Shark Gang, which was obviously not his character Tong Baichuan.

After that, everyone gradually dispersed, leaving only the black robe and Tong Baichuan.

For a moment, the council chamber fell silent.

The black robe suddenly asked, "Bai Ying still hasn't found Immortal Island?"

Hearing this, Tong Baichuan couldn't help frowning.

Obviously, as the black robe said.

Seeing this, the black robe's expression seemed to be a little gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "Let Bai Ying come back, in the long run, she will be in danger." ”

"No way!"

Tong Baichuan replied sharply, and then said in a deep voice: "I must find Immortal Island, this is the only opportunity for my Sea Shark Gang, don't look at the sky now."

If I don't give my people a little faith, they will be even more frightened. Actually, I already sensed that something was wrong.

Wang Jianfeng's old guy is really investigating my Sea Shark Gang for the beggar gang disciples, I'm afraid it's not likely, maybe he has found out, but it doesn't matter.

Without the Black Shark Mansion of my Sea Shark Gang, no one would be able to survive in Yinghai at all, not even the Supreme. ”
