Chapter 24 Establishing Rules
People will naturally open the table.
After three rounds of drinking, under the harmonious atmosphere of Mrs. Yu and Xie Anping, the atmosphere of the whole private room can be regarded as happy, without the slightest disharmony.
Lu Qian is the protagonist of the banquet.
He has been controlling the rhythm, Shen Zishuang, Zhou 11, Zhou 12, and Zhou 13 have also introduced them one by one.
Xie Anping, Zhou Hongyuan, and Baili Mad also touted a few words.
Especially Shen Zishuang, when they learned the identity of the daughter of the elder of the Sword Cloud Sect, they couldn't help but have a trace of respect.
Shen Zishuang also knew the personalities of Xie Anping and the others.
Xie Anping's speech is very smooth, which makes people feel quite comfortable.
Baili has a wild face and few cruel words, and generally does not speak out much.
As for Zhou Hongyuan, he is well-informed, and it seems that because of his background as a scholar, he eats and speaks with a kind of manners.
At this time, Lu Qian put down his wine glass and asked with a casual smile: "The end of the year is approaching, and the business of the three of you this year is good." ”
As soon as these words came out, Xie Anping and the three of them were stunned.
It was Xie Anping who was the first to react, laughed, shook his head and said with a smile: "Thank Your Majesty Hongfu, if it is gradually peaceful today, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, this business is naturally good! Among them, there is also a credit to Lord Lu's Zhenfu Division!"
Unconsciously, he put on a high hat for Lu Gan.
Zhou Hongyuan nodded and agreed: "It's really good." After so many years of recuperation, my great power is at its peak, and we are full of flowers, and we businessmen who keep to ourselves can live a stable life for a few days. ”
Hehe.
Hearing this, Shen Zishuang couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
A businessman who keeps to himself? This is burning straw paper on the grave, deceiving the ghost!
"My medicinal herb business is also good. At this time, Baili Crazy narrowed his eyes and said lightly.
"Three. Lu Qian glanced at Xie Anping and the others, and said with a smile while pouring himself wine: "As a local community and a representative of public opinion, you should know what kind of business I am talking about. ”
After that, he slowly raised his glass and took a sip.
The private room fell silent for a moment.
The atmosphere freezes.
At this time, Mrs. Yu, who was sitting next to Lu Gan, came out to play a round: "Lord Lu, we are all ordinary people, under the jurisdiction of Lord Lu and Lord Lu, how can we do something illegal and undisciplined? Why don't we call a few musicians in and sing music and drama for Lord Lu?"
Said it and clapped his hands gently.
"No need. ”
Lu Qian's expression was cold, he turned the jade cup in his hand, and said to himself: "Xie Anping, you have a total of two hundred and thirty-one gambling stalls, and in a year, you will receive about 3,800 taels of gold, fifty-three flower buildings, and about 1,500 taels of gold a year. I don't know if I'm right?"
The voice sounded, and with a snap, the jade cup in Xie Anping's hand had been crushed, and the wine splashed his clothes.
His face was as cold as ice.
Obviously, Lu Gan's words pierced his heart and dug out his deepest secrets.
Shen Zishuang and Sun Hei were slightly open at the moment, and their faces were full of shock.
They did not expect that Xie Anping would be able to earn so much in just three counties? Eight thousand taels of gold! It is already comparable to a year's tax revenue in Qingyang County!
Also shocked was Baili Mania, Zhou Hongyuan.
There was envy, greed, and a hint of irrepressible schadenfreude in their eyes when they looked at Xie Anping.
At this moment, Lu Gan's eyes turned and fell on Zhou Hongyuan: "Zhou Hongyuan, your ferry is ushered in, and the freight this year should be eight hundred taels of gold." The mine opened the mountain to quarry, and the income was a little more, which was 1,900 taels, but if you smuggled illegal salt, tea, and secretly mined river sand for resale, you earned more, about 4,000 taels of gold. Add it up to the whole number, and there should be more than 7,000 taels in this year's account. ”
In an instant, Zhou Hongyuan's expression froze, and he looked at Lu Qian in disbelief, and his heart was shocked by the overturning of the river and the sea.
This figure is exactly the same as what he estimated the other day!
Looking at Zhou Hongyuan's face, Xie Anping and Baili Mad were shocked again.
Could it be that Lu Qian guessed right again?
"Baili Maniac, it's your turn. It's hard for you to guess, though. Lu Qian turned the jade cup and frowned: "Your medicinal herb business on the surface is very hot, and the income on the account is about five thousand taels of gold, but your secret human tooth business is really difficult to estimate." Let's make a whole and take six thousand taels of gold. ”
Bailimad's expression suddenly became gloomy, and his narrow eyes narrowed into a slit.
The atmosphere of the whole private room is very depressing.
Shen Zishuang had a feeling that the mountain rain was coming, and the black clouds were covering the top, and she couldn't help but hold the sword at her waist.
"What does Lord Lu mean by this?"
At this time, Xie Anping asked slowly.
The corners of Lu Gan's mouth hooked, and he sneered, "I understand what I mean. Don't you understand? There is an extra tiger in the forest that eats meat, so it is natural to re-establish the rules. There are no rules, there is no square circle, the three of them should be very clear. ”
What kind of rule is this? This is clearly a lion's mouth, ready to ask for money!
Xie Anping, Zhou Hongyuan, and Baili Crazy sank down with a sneer, looked at each other a few times, and no one opened their mouths.
If they don't speak, Lu Qian naturally won't open his mouth either.
He just turned the jade cup in his hand, as if he wanted to play with a flower.
Shen Zishuang felt creepy for the first time and shuddered.
The scene in front of her, with no swords and swords, made her feel like she was in a muddy pool full of crocodiles.
The soft white light cast by the night pearl on the wall illuminated people as white as ghosts.
Intrigues, invisible confrontations, but they are more dangerous by any competition.
"Lord Lu, Xie is really curious, how did you know that Xie's business income, like a few treasures?"
Suddenly, Xie Anping asked.
Zhou Hongyuan and Baili frantically heard this, and stared up at Lu Gan, a cold light flashed in their eyes.
Lu Qian smiled: "It's very simple. Buy your shopkeeper, or apprentice, or plant a few eyeliners in your territory, calculate the flow of people in and out of the market every day, the stock of goods, and finally summarize the calculation, you can roughly calculate the flow of people in and out of the month. In the past few years, the three of them have made a lot of money!"
Of course, he was a scumbag in his previous life, and he didn't know how to do this, it was all with the help of the old criminal.
As the secret path was broken, Xie Anping, Zhou Hongyuan, and Baili Mad glanced at each other, and they all felt a bone-chilling chill rising from the soles of their feet to the heavenly spirit root, making people's cold hairs stand on end.
This Lu Qian, a few years ago, began to calculate the business of the three of them!
For today!
"Okay, good! Lord Lu is so calculating! Good perseverance! So forbearing! Xie is completely convinced! What are the rules, Lord Lu, please tell me!"
Xie Anping slapped the table suddenly, his eyes bursting with light.
This guy has good acting skills!
Lu Qian turned his head and glanced at it, sneering in his heart. Obviously, this guy has agreed to his request, but now he is acting here, deliberately playing a hundred miles, and Zhou Hongyuan is out of the game.
Sure enough, hearing Xie Anping agree so readily, Zhou Hongyuan's face was instantly ugly.
"What I want is simple. Seven words. Lu Qian smiled slightly: "It's the same as the county magistrate!"
Swish.
Zhou Hongyuan, Baili Mad's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and he couldn't be described as difficult.
Even the horizontal flesh on Zhou Hongyuan's face twitched slightly, as if these seven words were like a knife cutting on him.
"Lord Lu, forgive me. I will quadruple the benefits of Lord Lu at most. At this time, Baili took a deep breath and squinted his eyes and said.
When Lu Gan heard this, his expression remained unchanged, and he turned his head and asked, "What about you, Zhou Hongyuan?"
"Lord Lu, it's not that Zhou doesn't want to give it. I really can't give it, at most, like Brother Baili, the benefits I took before Lord Lu quadrupled. Zhou Hongyuan's expression returned to normal at this time, as if nothing had happened.
"Oh, why can't you take it out?" Lu Qian asked with interest.
"It's not a secret, Zhou's business, the county magistrate has a share, and a certain adult in the county town has another share, plus Zhou still has a big family to support, and he doesn't have a lot of money, so naturally he can't take out so much gold. However, if it is Li Feng and Master Li......"
Speaking of this, Zhou Hongyuan was silent.
The implication is that you Lu Qian is not qualified to take this benefit, but if it is Lord Li Feng and Master Li of the Suppression Division, then there is no problem.
Lu Qian smiled: "A certain adult in the county town refers to the third lady of the county guard's mansion." ”
Zhou Hongyuan's eyes narrowed, and he arched his hand: "It turned out that Lord Lu knew, so Zhou didn't say much." ”
Hearing the conversation between the two, Xie Anping on the side couldn't help but look sideways. This Zhou Hongyuan actually climbed into the relationship between the three ladies of the county guard mansion unknowingly?
No wonder he's so tough!
