After thinking about it, if the relationship between the two sides is stiff, it will be uncomfortable to be caught in the middle. So Tie Sheng persuaded: "Bai Er, even if you want it, it's best to ask for less." In those New Year's gifts you gave for the New Year, there are already many people who say strange things behind their backs. ”

When giving the New Year's gift, Qin Bai didn't go in person at all, but just handed it over to Tiesheng. Give Feng Sihai and Zhang Jiuyun one hundred taels each, as for the He Mansion and Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall, there is no fart. This attitude is very disrespectful, and it is only one line away from tearing your face.

Qin Bai shrugged: "We still have a deficit in our public account." After beating so many times, how much did you spend on the pension for the soup and medicine? Did He Fu and you Zhenwei help us? I didn't think about letting them pay people and money, but in the end, it was good, but let Hong Leong Money Shop force debts? Who's going to pay attention to their weird words anyway? If we don't have a lot of money, shouldn't the brothers think about them first? ”

Tie Sheng's eyes showed struggle. These days, he has also had some insights, talking about the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, in the final analysis, he still has to rely on money to support. If there is no oil and water, which one will follow you in the future? To be honest, some of the newcomers are already unstable now, if Qin Bai really doesn't help today, it won't take long at all, and most of them will definitely disperse.

Looking at Tie Sheng's expression, Qin Bai smiled slightly. I believe that Tie Sheng will understand sooner or later that if you just want to do embryo beating, then it is enough to be brave enough. But it's not that easy to be the master. Only if there is money can there be righteousness, if there is no money alone, sooner or later the corpse will be in the wild.

After thinking about it for a while, Tie Sheng was no longer entangled, he was not a person who liked to use his brain and talk. He looked up and asked, "What's going on with the private mine?" How did you get back today? ”

"I negotiated with the mule and horse market a few years ago, and I ordered a few good horses. This time they sent five horses, and I heard that they were all warhorses used by Jiangmen. Anyway, all the jackals have seen it, I don't know if it's from the general's door, but it's better than the average war horse. 80 taels a horse, they are black enough. Later, you go and pick a horse, so you are the second master, and if you don't have a good horse, it will be a shame for us to win. ”

Tie Sheng's eyes jumped a few times, and it cost four hundred taels to buy a few horses, but he was only willing to give two hundred taels for the New Year's gift? If the news reaches Zhenwei, it is not known how many people will burst into foul language. Especially his master Zhang Jiuyun? has scolded in Tie Sheng's ear several times, scolding Qin Bai as a "white-eyed wolf who can't be raised".

Shake your head and shake all the distractions out of your head. After all, Qin Bai is a big boss, whether he is good or bad, that is also his business. Tie Sheng said again: "Have you heard about the monk's matter?" Those leaders in Laizhou City said that he was not qualified and said that you must come forward for an interview? ”

"Huh?" Qin Bai was stunned for a moment, he had been busy in the dark in recent days, and he really hadn't heard of this matter, "Didn't the monk already plant a flag in the territory half of the southern city?" He is now strong and strong, and he is famous in Laizhou City. He is not qualified, who is still qualified? ”

As in the case of Tie Sheng, there are many more people in the monk's place, so there needs to be a place to start work. So the monk began to expand externally, laying down half of the territory outside the southern city. And during the New Year's greetings, the monk once personally told Qin Bai that there would be a truce for the time being, and he would first digest those new territories.

"Who made you the big boss? The monk did not have an independent portal. Tie Sheng smiled, "I heard that the monk also robbed half the street in the city. Those who are in charge let him quit, or they will join forces. ”

Then Tie Sheng briefly introduced the situation. The monk did a more measured job, the territory outside the city was not very oily, and there were no powerful gangs, maybe a few green-skinned gangsters erected roots and flags to occupy a place, even if it was opened. And the monks basically choose such a territory to expand, and the persimmon picks the soft pinch. However, unfortunately, it happened that one of the gangs also had half a street in the city, so after the annexation, the monk took it by the way.

But this time it was the wrath of the people. The local gangs in the city let the monks withdraw from the city and give them half of the street. Of course, we won't start fighting when we meet, and we definitely need to negotiate first. And such negotiations require the intervention of the big bosses. Generally speaking, even if a monk has that kind of strength, he must avoid suspicion, otherwise, it is easy for outsiders to guess that he is ambitious.

Qin Bai was speechless, he really wanted to say to the monk: "You think too much!" "I wish the monk was ambitious, and it was best to be independent, and he could save a lot of burden.

After thinking about it, I can only do this by myself. So Qin Bai asked, "Have you made an appointment with a time and place?" ”

"Five days later, Baihualou on Archway Street."

"Alright, I'll take a run." In the most lively part of the city in broad daylight, there will be no problems with general security.

……

Five days later, Qin Bai led monks, big eyes, sunspots and others into the archway street, and on both sides were painted beams and carved buildings, which made people dizzy. And many of them here are poor families, who have never had the opportunity to enter such a rich place before, and they all look left and right, and they seem to have moved their feet.

Qin Bai smiled slightly, slowed down, and asked the monk behind him, "What do you think?" ”

The monk made a crying and laughing expression: "Second Brother Bai! I really don't want the land in this city, but I can't throw it out for nothing? And we have to sell matches in the city, and although I am not afraid of them, I can't guard against asking for trouble every day. I can give it to them, but we can't ruin our reputation for victory. ”

Qin Bai nodded, he already understood what the monk meant: "How much is this land worth?" ”

"Five hundred taels!"

"Then the monthly income should be about fifty taels?"

"That's right! In fact, it's almost the same to give two hundred taels. It doesn't matter how much money you have, the main thing is that they paid for it, not to force us to leave, and the reputation outside will be ugly. Eh, Second Brother Bai, can you give a few more boxes per month? I don't have enough to sell here, do I? Looking at Qin Bai, the monk was a little apprehensive in his heart. Those merchants finally found out that there were matches sold in Laizhou City, so they managed to find a monk. Therefore, the monk did not care much about the possibility of giving up his territory, and what he cared about now was to get a few more boxes of matches.

Glancing at the monk, Qin Bai smiled and said, "Then give you an extra 200 boxes per month." The price you sell is yours, and you can sell it wherever you want, but don't forget that the 250 boxes that were given to you before can only be in this Laizhou City. Others are limited to 20 boxes per person at a time. My own brother, there is a word first, if you violate it, then I will deduct it later! ”

The monk was overjoyed, and he didn't care about those strange requests. It's nothing more than finding a few more merchants to sell a few more times, and it won't be any more trouble. And from the meaning of Qin's vernacular, he is not opposed to selling to those outside merchants.

Qin Bai continued: "Monk, in addition to these, you still need to promise one thing!" ”
