Yu Zheng was shocked, and immediately began to calculate the gains and losses. If it is really as Bai Er in front of him said, he is ready to burn the jade at any time, then it is useless to fight down. In other words, he may be deceiving himself, but he doesn't dare to gamble at all.

And the interests of the match are too great, so big that the head of the capital and the few owners behind it, they are willing to sacrifice everything in the Linqing branch, even including their own big treasurer. Therefore, even if you slaughter all the people of Bai Er, as long as you can't get the recipe for matches, you won't end up well.

On the contrary, the current result should not be very satisfied, but it can be accepted. At least 1,000 boxes per month are guaranteed, which is also a huge business of one million taels per year. In this big future, except for the rich merchants such as salt and tea, there shouldn't be a few such big businesses, right?

So, it's still ...... It's really doable. Anyway, the next three batches are all ringing horses, and they are not people with their own business names, so they will not feel distressed if they are sacrificed. was originally used as cannon fodder, but it was nothing more than a different way of using cannon fodder. Is it ...... on the rivers and lakes in the future? What is the reputation of the rivers and lakes? The source number is a trader, and it will not go to the rivers and lakes!

Thinking of this, Yu Zheng immediately made a decision: "Second Master Bai, this is too risky. 2000 cases per month? ”

Qin Bai's smile gradually brightened: "1500 boxes." As he spoke, he stood up and walked out the door, "Don't worry, your people are all good, they sleep with straw." ”

Hearing that the door was closed, Yu Zheng immediately took action, couldn't hold back any longer, and grabbed the dishes on the table with his hand......

……

Walking out of the door, Qin Bai's smile was all closed, and his face became gloomy. In his previous life, Qin Bai had been walking in the dark, and had learned in textbooks how dark the feudal dynasty was. But I never thought that it would be so dark? It's far beyond his imagination.

Qin Bai finally discovered his misunderstanding. Originally, his mother's match factory was insolvent every year, and it couldn't attract the attention of the government at all, so he thought it was a "small business". However, in this era, there will be such high profits, no wonder the match king can stand shoulder to shoulder with those other kings.

However, mistakes have already been made, and they need to be made in time. Therefore, the worst option has become the best choice, if you continue to cooperate with the source, then there is only one from beginning to end, who can guarantee that the second, ......third, or more big businesses will not be greedy? In other words, at least the source has suffered a loss, and knowing Qin Bai's true strength, he won't act rashly, right? If you change the family, in case it is like this time, you will come and snatch it directly, not to mention the question of whether you can fight it or not, you can't fight like this every day, even Qin Bai himself can't stand it?

And conversely, the source will also hide it from the outside and protect it internally, which also stems from their interests. You should know how to eat alone. For the sake of that huge profit, the Source will definitely do whatever it takes to keep this secret.

Of course, don't look at the source account this time suffered a big loss, the strength of the two sides is still very unequal, and the source number can tear up the agreement at any time. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a certain amount of camouflage. For example, the original price is still maintained, the output is limited, and the possible greed of some sources is reduced, and the profit is not enough, so it will not take risks. The Xinyuan can earn 100,000 taels a month by changing hands, is it for the workshop to gamble on jade for more than 10,000 taels of silver? It can't be said that there are no such people, but at least the probability will be much smaller.

The other is weakening. If the source killed those ringing horses this time, would it be so easy to recruit people on the rivers and lakes in the future? It's not that it's completely impossible, but it's certainly more difficult, and it's a question of whether it's worth it. What's more, tempting the people of the source to fight back, Qin Bai was of course in a happy mood, anyway, it was not his own people who were killed or injured.

Therefore, this bought Qin Bai the most valuable time. Qin Bai also knew that it would never be possible to keep it hidden, but after others inquired about the news, with the communication and transportation conditions of this era, the next time might be half a year or a year later.

And one more thing is important. During the interrogation just now, it was not found that the source number had anything to do with the matter of conscription. In this way, there is still a black hand that does not appear.

In the final analysis, it's still a loss for yourself to be weak!

……

That night, Yu Zheng found Lu Wen and other henchmen, and then Qin Bai returned weapons, clothes and other things. Early the next morning, except for Yu Zheng who took the initiative to stay as a hostage, the others rushed to the meeting point on foot under the leadership of Lu Wen. And Qin Bai mobilized the whole village again to prevent Lu Wen and them from rebelling again.

At noon that day, Lu Wen and the others came to the converging camp. As soon as he saw the miserable appearance of Lu Wen and the others, someone stepped forward and asked, "Master Wen!" What's wrong with you? What about Yu Ye? ”

Lu Wen's performance was very real: "We were ambushed, Yu Ye was arrested, and even the horse was robbed." ”

"Huh?" The ringing horses did not suspect him, and they all leaned closer to hear what was going on.

Unbeknownst to the horses, however, that the people who had returned to the camp had slowly dispersed, forming a semi-encirclement. With Lu Wen's sudden outburst, he slashed down the leader of the ringing horse in front of him with a knife: "Kill!" Kill them all——! ”

The people who came back immediately all started to kill the horse indiscriminately.

And the ringing horses were completely caught off guard, and many died in a daze. There are also some who stand in a daze, not understanding what the situation is. However, after all, there were many people on the horses, and they were not experienced in fire, some of them finally resisted in time, and some jumped on their horses and fled in all directions without looking back.

However, no matter how much he resisted, Xiangma was already disheartened. They were all paid and hired by the Source, and they didn't expect the Source to suddenly kill themselves? As the few people who led the way for the ringing horses, who were also Xinyuan, reacted, and moved together with Lu Wen, the rest of the ringing horses finally couldn't hold on, and with a "boom", everyone turned around and fled.

While fleeing, some of the ringing horses shouted: "The source number of the grass and mud horse, this revenge will not be avenged, and Lao Tzu will not be a man!" ”

Seeing that those ringing horses were fleeing fast and couldn't catch up, Lu Wen didn't like to fight, and gathered up his manpower. At this time, the brother Lu Wu, who was responsible for leading the way for Xiangma, was still inexplicable, he came to Lu Wen and put down the bloody knife: "Brother! Why kill them? ”

looked around and found that the people he brought with him also suffered a lot of losses, and now there are only about fifty people left who can stand. Lu Wen smiled bitterly: "Second brother, this is an order from Master Yu!" ”

"Huh? Why? ”

"Hey! It's hard to put into words! ”
