Chapter 648: The Diao family has an evil way to make money

Yu Kai's spirits perked up, and he hurriedly asked, "What is the reason, tell me." ”

Diao Kui smiled "hehe" and lowered his voice: "Because there is a good way to make money now, this time I found the king of Huiji through Wang Gongzi and specially approved it." ”

Yu Yue's brows furrowed: "What way to make money?" Do you want to approve it? Their royal family is not going to try to make money like us families. ”

Diao Hong smiled evilly: "There is no one in this world who doesn't like money, and the emperor and the prince are the same." Especially now that the various parts of the Great Jin Dynasty are mostly controlled by the family gate valves, tax cuts are shady households, and the treasury is empty, if you want to form your own army in the future, money is indispensable. In my humble opinion, King Huiji is willing to accept us, and he also takes a fancy to our Diao family's ancestral ability to make money. ”

Yu Kai's eyes flashed coldly: "Okay, don't sell it, just say it if you have any way, if the conditions are right, our Yu family can also get together, and everyone can earn money together." ”

Diao Kui nodded and said in a low voice: "In this Jiankang City, what do the children of the family usually like to play?" ”

Yu Kai was slightly stunned, and then said: "Naturally, it's clear to talk about Xuan." ”

Diao Kui waved his hand: "That's for fame, not necessarily because I like it much." The sound of dogs and horses is the nature of people, Brother Yu, we are all people in this way, so there is no need to say these scenes. ”

Yu Kai smiled: "If you want to talk about fun, naturally one is a woman, and the other is gambling." Playing with women, most of them are willful after taking Wushisan, and as for gambling, they are mostly in the fields of canopus, cockfighting, dog fighting, and horse racing. ”

Diao Kui smiled: "That's it, where to play is almost the same, cockfighting, dog fighting, these can arouse the kind of fighting in human nature, the excitement of killing, so it is the most played thing, especially the small and medium-sized families, it is even more unscrupulous, the Purple Mountain in the east of the city, several cockfighting and dog fighting arenas, has always been very popular, right." ”

Yu Yue said with a smile: "It seems that although Brother Diao is in Guangzhou, he has already studied the customs in Jiankang City, yes, it is true, is Brother Diao also interested in this cockfighting ring?" ”

Diao Kui shook his head, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes: "Cockfighting and dog fighting, how can there be the excitement of making people fight, and it is fun?" ”

Yu Kai and Yu Yue's faces changed at the same time: "Fighting with people? Is that okay too? The law of the Great Jin Dynasty prohibits murder, even if it is a slave, it is not allowed to kill casually. ”

Diao Kui smiled slightly: "The law is the law, but it is another thing to do, just like Shi Chong, the gate valve of the Western Dynasty, when he invited Wang Dao and Wang Dun to the children of the family, let the concubines persuade the guests to drink, and when there were guests who did not drink, they were killed on the spot, Wang Dao reluctantly drank because he couldn't bear to see the concubines die, but Wang Dun sat back and watched several concubines being killed and did not change his face, so he saw the character of the two brothers. But on the other hand, doesn't it also confirm that this decree that slaves and maids must not be killed is a dead letter for the high-ranking clan? ”

Yu Kai's face flashed a trace of unbearability: "But Shi Chong has a high status after all, and he is a relative of the emperor, so he can escape the punishment of the law, but he also has a bad reputation in the family. ”

Diao Kui shook his head: "There is King Huiji in the back, what are you afraid of." Besides, in order to avoid this swagger, we will not do this in Jiankang City. Those prisoners of war of the Qin army are already damned people, and let them perform this kind of fight for us, and also earn money for themselves, isn't it also killing two birds with one stone? ”

Yu Yue hooked the corners of his mouth: "This idea is good, where to choose to open this fighting arena, and also, if you don't do this in Jiankang City, then how can you let the children of the family go over to bet?" You're probably still a casino. ”

Diao Kui smiled slightly: "We have already picked a place, put it in the north, where Pengcheng is, and build a big training ground, which is called the Drama Stage, specifically for these fighting slaves to fight, and let the audience bet on winning or losing." Those who were disabled and injured were sold to the manor in the south of the Yangtze River at a low price to farm, and those who were killed were said to be injured by bandits. ”

Yu Kai's brows stretched a lot, and he nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, you are really thoughtful." However, if such a fighting arena is set up, what if other families know about it and impeach us in a letter? ”

Diao Kui smiled: "It's okay, I've already thought of this, didn't he Xie Jia recruit more than a thousand Xianbei people to be sparring partners last time, saying that he taught us to deal with the northern cavalry?" This time, we can also buy a few thousand slaves, saying that it is used to coach the garrison to practice the method of breaking the enemy, isn't the Xie family's drill also dead? He can die, so why can't we? With the king of Huiji behind him, no one dares to say anything. ”

Yu Yue laughed: "This trick is really clever, if this thing is done, how will the money be divided?" ”

Diao Hong said excitedly: "A slave is only 4,000 yuan, even if he kills three in a day, it is only more than 10,000 yuan, but the betting income of this Jiankang City cockfighting arena in a day is more than 100,000 yuan, if it is a fighter, I am afraid that 300,000 yuan a day can be earned." At that time, the money earned will be divided into 20% to the king of Huiji, and 10% will be given to the prince, and the rest of the money will be our own. ”

Yu Kai smiled slightly: "No wonder Brother Diao is willing to stay here, but I still have a question, the number of slaves that our family can have is stipulated according to the title and official position, you can't buy it casually, you want to buy two or three hundred people, maybe you can, but if you want to buy a few thousand people, how can it be?" ”

Diao Kui smiled and took out a roll of silk silk from his sleeve and handed it to Yu Kai: "Please look at the history of the Great Yu Assassin, this is the holy order specially invited by the king of Huiji for me, I am now the history of the Guangzhou Assassin, there are many slang barbarians in Guangzhou, and they often make trouble, and the strength of the imperial court is insufficient, so this time I specially asked for my life, asking to buy 5,000 people from the prisoners of war of the Qin army, as a trophie, and to recruit those barbarians who disobey the orders of the imperial court in Guangzhou." You see, Your Majesty has approved it. ”

Yu Yue took advantage of Yu Kai's reading of this edict and said suspiciously: "Five thousand? Good guy, the garrison in Guangzhou may not be tens of thousands, you can buy 5,000 people at once, this will be a great help. It's just that these 5,000 people want you to bring back to Guangzhou, what the imperial court allows you to form an army, and there will be people in Guangzhou to check it, how can you get them north to Pengcheng? ”
