Chapter 228: All in the Corner

"Steward Jin is not busy, if my Jin family really comes out with these five million taels, how can General Huang guarantee that my Jin family can be unimpeded along the way? No longer interfered by Qi Yan and other countries as before? Jin Li raised a new question.

Seeing that there were signs of loosening of the golden rite, Huang Jinshan was overjoyed, "My Emperor Dayan has already sent a note to Emperor Qi of the Qi State, and his Qi people can come to this mutual market, as long as the tax payment is legal, my Emperor Dayan will not embarrass serious businessmen." Similarly, as one of the conditions, no one in the fleet to and from the sea was allowed to attack and loot, and Emperor Qi had agreed. After all, he Qi country also has a fleet to and from my Dayan, if you don't keep your promise, you won't see any Qi people in Chicheng, and so are you, Chu people. As for those little thieves, you don't need my Dayan to settle it for you, right? ”

"Naturally no, my Jin family is not a soft persimmon to be slaughtered." Jin Li said with a pun, "Then Lord Huang, as far as I know, the Yellow River is now almost in the hands of that Qin Wang, how can you guarantee that Qin Wang will not embarrass my Jin family on the Yellow River?" ”

"The world is bustling, and it is all for profit. The world is crowded, all for profit. That Qin Forget is not a fool, what good is it for him to turn away your Jin family? What's more, in this big game of chess, he is just a pawn who is temporarily out of control, and when the real car and horse cannon make a move, I am afraid that he will not be crushed into powder? If you don't clean him up now, it's just that the situation is forcing you, and when everything stabilizes, won't killing him be like killing a little ant? Huang Jinshan said disdainfully.

Hearing Huang Jinshan's words, Jin Li had already agreed to his conditions in his heart.

Jin Li nodded, with a cold expression, "It's better to kill him, first robbed the Jin family's smuggling caravan and blackmailed us with a lot of food." Now he has swallowed two million taels of silver from my Jin family, and he is really looking for death. I don't dare to call the shots about these five million taels, I will report to the head of the family truthfully, and the head of the family will decide. ”

Huang Jinshan nodded, he didn't think that this little Jin Li would set such a big thing, it was just a mouthpiece.

Huang Jinshan silently calculated in his heart, even if the Jin family would not pay the full amount of five million taels, even if it was discounted, there would be three or four million taels, and it would be considered a little and a half.

The next few days. Huang Jinshan met with dozens of merchants successively, mainly the four families of Jia Shi Wang Xue Si, and extorted nearly eight million taels of silver. Coupled with the Ulzhou family's re-accumulation, in this way, Jinshan not only did not lose money this time, but also made a lot of money from it.

"Yes, Kanayama, well done this time. Not only did we not have to spend a penny, but we also earned an extra five million taels, which is really good. With these five million taels, we can do a lot of things. In the grass house, Uncle Huang said happily.

Hearing Uncle Huang's praise, Huang Jinshan was overjoyed, "Yes, how are these five million two uncles going to be arranged?" ”

"Naturally, it is a recruitment business, and the tea and horse market is about to open, how can we hold each other without enough troops

Fang forces? You secretly formed a strong army, and these five million taels are your military expenses, what to do, you should know, right? Uncle Huang said indifferently.

Huang Wushuang's snort suddenly became heavy, five million taels to form an army, with such an extravagant investment, he was confident that he would form an elite ironclad warrior of 100,000 people.

"Uncle, give my nephew a year, and I will train 100,000 iron armor elites for the Huang family!" He said proudly.

"It's good that you have such a heart, in addition to the 100,000 ironclad elites, I also need 20,000 cavalry." Uncle Huang put forward higher requirements.

Huang Wushuang's heart suddenly struck, cavalry is not more than infantry, and cavalry costs much more. Raising one war horse is worth raising three or four infantrymen. War horses don't just need to be fed some grass, if you want war horses to be fat and strong, you also need to feed soybeans, eggs, and refined salt. Raising horses, training horses, and saddle equipment were all great expenses, and the cost of 20,000 cavalry with men and horses was comparable to that of 50,000 infantry.

"Don't worry, I won't just invest you five million taels. Later, after the opening of the tea and horse market, there was more investment. Old Uncle Huang saw Huang Wushuang's difficulty and spoke.

Hearing his uncle say this, Huang Wushuang was relieved.

Liu Jian's speed was much faster than Qin Forget had imagined.

A hundred warships, large and small, were quietly moored on the Chaobai River, and the Chaobai River, which was not very wide, was tightly covered. With many masts and white sails, these ships were not loaded with heavily armed sailors, but with ordinary people, and almost all of them were young and strong.

The banks of the Chaobai River are full of people from Chicheng who come to see the excitement, and the boats have all been seen by the common people, but the warships, especially so many warships, appear on the Chaobai River at once, and this kind of grand scene is rare in a hundred years. The people were all excited, as if they were celebrating the New Year.

Qin Wang, who led all his generals to stand on the dock, was also excited, there were so many young people at once, and the reconstruction of Chicheng and Yexian, as well as the construction of the dock and warehouse, were much faster.

At this moment, from the tall four-story ship, a group of generals dressed in the uniforms of the Navy Division walked out, and the first one was the commander of the Navy Division, Liu Jian.

Seeing Qin Forget and the others waiting on the shore for a long time, Liu Jian walked quickly downstairs and the boat was on the wooden plank on the shore, "The last general, Liu Jian, has seen the general." ”

Qin Forget looked at this veteran with satisfaction, he didn't look at the wrong person after all. He put people, territory, enough materials, and all the conditions for becoming a prince in front of Liu Jian, but Liu Jian was unmoved. Liu Jian had never sent a letter to Qin Forget to express his loyalty, but this time Liu Jian came in person, which explained everything.

"General Liu, please get up quickly." Qin Forget hurriedly helped him up with his own hands, "I have heard Liu Yang say everything you have done, General Liu has worked hard." ”

Liu Jian was very moved in his heart, this young man, although he was here

I was forced to give myself the highest degree of freedom, but that was not a kind of trust. Trust? How many years have you not felt it? It's a good feeling to be trusted.

"Thank you for the general's trust, Liu Jianxing has fulfilled his mission." Liu Jian said gratefully.

"Haha, okay. The general is talented, Qin Forget admires. This is not the place to speak, I have set up a banquet in the Chicheng County Ya to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the general. Qin Forget and Liu Jian walked hand in hand towards the war horse.

Naturally, there were young men from Xinzhou who were arranged by Yin Xian, Wang Wen and others.

The banquet was not sumptuous, and the wine was even worse, but Qin Wang's party drank very happily.

After some staggering, Liu Jian also recognized Qin Wang's group of civil and military teams. The two sides soon became acquainted, and everyone in Akagi coaxed Liu Jian to tell him how he took Xinzhou and Changxing Island.

It turned out that after Qin Forget left the Navy Battalion, Liu Jian recruited those Navy prisoners of war as quickly as possible, and then immediately divided his troops into two routes, one led by Gu Fangbo with 3,000 men and horses, and went straight to the city of Xinzhou. In the name of entering the city to ask for grain and grass, he fraudulently opened the city gate, killed the commander of Xinzhou, Zhao Jin's family and subordinates, and Xinzhou changed hands.

The other team was personally commanded by Liu Jian, taking advantage of the cold and foggy weather, the elite of the sailors, raided Changxing Island, and after two hours of fierce battles, defeated the naval division of the Bohai State and captured the lord of the Bohai State. The last obstacle to the Yellow River's waterway was successfully knocked out.

Since then, the waterways of the Yellow River have been completely in the hands of Qin Wang.

"Okay, if you don't make a hit, it's a blockbuster. Since then, no one in the tea horse market can avoid my Akagi! The tea and horse market is already in full swing. This time, General Liu should be the first to remember, brothers, everyone toast General Liu with a cup! After listening to Liu Jian's speech, Qin Forget greeted his brothers loudly.

Yang Xuan and the others heard that Liu Jian had taken Changxing Island and Xinzhou for Qin Wang, so how much did the territory they actually control expand tenfold? They were all very excited, and they all stood up and saluted Liu Jian with wine glasses.

How dare Liu Jian hold it up? Here are all the henchmen of Qin Wang's heart, even if he is a newcomer, he has to clamp his tail and be a man, otherwise it will be difficult to mix in the future.

He hurriedly stood up and saluted everyone with a wine glass, "It's all the general's guidance, Liu Jian doesn't dare to take credit, don't dare to take credit." After saying that, he drank the wine bowl in his hand and lit the bottom of the glass to everyone to show that it was dry.

"Haha, General Liu is bold, brothers, we did it too!" Yang Xuan laughed, Liu Jian's bowl of liquor had to be three taels to say the least, and he was killed by him in one bite, Yang Xuan felt that Liu Jian was a bold man, and he began to see how pleasing he was.

In the past, Yang Xuan was really wary of Liu Jian, for fear that Liu Jian would leave Chicheng and stand on his own. But now Liu Jian's performance has made his suspicions gone.

"Okay,!"

"!"

Everyone also drank it all, Akagi hadn't been so happy for a long time, and the atmosphere quickly became warm.
