Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Cave Changes, Cui's Conspiracy (I)
Chapter 37: The Cave Changes, Cui's Conspiracy (I)
Seeing this, Cui Si hurriedly waved his hand: "Everyone misunderstood, I didn't mean to belittle you, I meant to say...... Let me tell you this, if your things are done, of course, it will be a great credit, but if my side is done, it will not only be a great merit, it will be a great merit that can leave a name in history and let your children and grandchildren pass on the great merit for generations to come. β
"What do you mean?" Wang Tong's face changed: "Are you ready to start an army?" I'll start by saying okay, if that's what you're talking about, then I won't be involved - if we turn against the court now, we will only have a dead end. β
Zheng Li also waved his hand again and again: "Yes, I don't agree, I don't want to die yet, don't look for me if you want to die." β
"Who's going to rebel?" Cui Si said speechlessly, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for a few people: "Don't think about it, this matter is indeed a big event, but a big event that pierces the sky, but it has nothing to do with the rebellion." β
Zheng Li urged: "Don't be verbose, what's the situation?" β
"That's right...... Except for Cui Long, all of you have just come back, so you don't know much about the situation, so I will tell you what happened first......
Cui Si told the matter of the twelve fleets, and in the end, Cui Si said with a shocked face: "That's it, these twelve ships are really suspicious, the defense is very tight, and I have also spent a lot of effort and lost countless good hands to finally find out the truth of the matter." It is precisely because the matter is so big that even I don't dare to make up my own mind, so I passed the bloody decree and summoned you to come back and discuss together. β
Cui Long, who had never spoken, suddenly said, "What is inside?" Is it worth your nervousness? β
"I ...... Let's put it this way. Cui Si suddenly changed the topic and looked at Zheng Li Wen Ao: "Zheng Li, how much silver can you get by looting a county town?" β
"How do I know that?" Speaking of this, Zheng Li looked angry: "I was about to do this, you called me back, how do I know how much money can be looted in a county town?" β
Li Weizhi said: "Although it didn't work, we can calculate a rough idea, Zheng Li, the county seat you chose is a lower county, the people are poor, and the people are struggling to make a living." However, this is not to say that this county is all poor, in fact, the poorer the county, the easier it is to get more money. Because the people's money has been squeezed clean by the family and the government, that is to say, a lot of money is controlled by the family and the government, according to my estimate, you can get at least 300,000 taels of silver under the next county. β
"Look at it." Zheng Li looked at Cui Si with burning eyes, and shouted in his mouth: "Three hundred thousand taels, with so much money, how many more troops can we equip?" Now it's all ruined by you, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, hum! β
"Don't worry, I'll definitely give you a reasonable explanation." Cui Si didn't care at all, and still smiled and said: "If you go down to the next county seat, you will be able to get hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but what if I tell you that what I said can at least let you get 300,000 taels of silver every day?" β
"It's simply impossible." Zheng Li said without thinking: "How can there be such a good thing in the world?" Even Li Zhen didn't dare to make this guarantee, right? If there was such a good thing, I'm afraid it would have spread all over the world a long time ago, right? Do you still need to tell me? Don't think I'm too old to think I'm foolish. β
"I really didn't mean to fool you. At the beginning, I didn't believe it, not only in the world, but also in the heavens. But after I looked closely, I found that the truth was exactly what I thought - there really is such a good thing in this world. When Cui Si said this, he suddenly became excited, and hurriedly took out a document from under the table and raised it in his hand: "Old Wang, you don't know anything about the recent affairs in Yuezhou, but you must know the news that Li Zhen sent a large fleet of more than two hundred searches to the sea some time ago to hunt for treasures, right?" β
"Of course I do." Wang Tong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Could it be that this is what you said?" As you said just now, there are twelve ships back, and you can say it once, so why bother with it? β
"It's repeated because it's so important." Triss divided the document into several parts, handed them to a few people, and explained: "The twelve ships were very well guarded, and I tried so hard that I even used a shadow to learn what the fleet had brought back, a silver mineβthey had found a large silver mine overseas. β
"How is this possible?" Li Weizhi didn't look at the documents, but said in disbelief: "Li Zhenke is ready to go treasure hunting, but the sea is uncertain, how can there be so many treasures for him to find?" Even Li Zhen himself has already prepared a plan to take half a year, and Liu Renliang even promised that he will never come back if he finds the treasure...... It's only been a few days, huh? Is there half a month? They're back with a fever? This treasure is too easy to find, isn't it? β
"But it turns out that Li Zhen's luck is indeed very good." Wang Tong had already quickly skimmed through the information, raised his head, and looked at Cui Sidao with a complicated expression: "Such a large silver mine, are you sure that your family can swallow it?" β
Cui Si no longer pretended to be kind, and his face became hideous: "I don't know if I can swallow it, but what I do know is that if we give up this opportunity, we will definitely regret it one day in the future." β
"What do you mean?"
The conversation between the two had no beginning or end, like a mist in the clouds, which made Zheng Li feel inexplicable and asked subconsciously.
"Still don't understand? We're all going to die. Li Weizhi also read the information and said with a wry smile: "The silver mine of an entire island, if it were us, we would not share it with others." The family seems to be one and the same, but in fact it is just a community of interests, and the face and heart are not in harmony. Originally, under the instigation of the imperial court, there was already a huge rift within us, and it was only because of the existence of the Blood Alliance that we were not separated, but now, ...... The interests are moving. β
Zheng Li finally understood, and was furious: "Cui Si, you want to kill us?" Take control of the Lingnan Branch of the Blood Alliance, and get the moon first near the water? I'll kill you first...... Yes...... Not good, poisonous, just tea. β
After speaking, Zheng Li lay on the ground, holding her stomach and wailing, and at the same time understood what Cui Si meant.
Silver Island is located in the South China Sea, to say that the closest to here, is naturally Lingnan Road, there is no doubt that if you want to annex this Silver Island, it is best to start directly from Lingnan - and therefore, Lingnan, which was originally only more burdens than benefits in Datang, immediately became hot.
