Chapter 38 Relatives of local tyrants
On the afternoon of May 17, 3011 in the Tang calendar, a passenger ship with a displacement of about 1,000 tons, led by a destroyer of the Independent Fleet, slowly sailed into Kangshan Port.
Wei Jingrong, who was standing on the deck, turned his head and said to the two young people beside him: "Ning Kun and Ning Yi, you take people to stay on the boat first, and I will go to see Su Yi first." ”
One of the young men hesitated for a moment and said, "Second uncle, I'd better take a few people with you!" ”
Wei Jingrong smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "Kangshan City is now Su Yi's territory, if he really wants to be unfavorable to me, it is useless to bring more than two hundred people on the ship, and I am also his uncle, and the two of you are also his cousins, presumably the worst result is just that we leave in disgrace." ”
Another young man, Wei Ningyi, sighed and said, "Second uncle, is it really useful for us to be so reckless to find Su Yi?" ”
"No matter what, we have to try it too, this time we have brought a lot of money, presumably Su Yi should agree to our Wei family's request for an alliance."
In a study in the county guard of Kangshan City, Wei Jingrong saw Su Yi in military uniform.
"I have already received my father's telegram, I wonder what happened to my uncle's visit to me this time?" Su Yi asked Wei Jingrong with a calm face.
"Xiao Yi, I can call you that, right?"
"Yes, that's what the elders in the family usually call me."
"Xiao Yi, in fact, for so many years, our Wei family has not come to see your mother and you, there is a hardship, in fact, our Wei family ......"
Su Yi didn't expect that his late mother was still a descendant of the royal family of the Tang Empire, which had been extinct for more than a thousand years, but Su Yi was noncommittal about the bitterness in Wei Jingrong's mouth, his mother could become his father's concubine, which shows what kind of status he has in the Wei family, if he didn't have a strong strength in his hands, he would probably not see the uncle in front of him in this life.
Su Yi asked Wei Jingrong thoughtfully, "Uncle, then what is the purpose of you coming to me today?" ”
Wei Jingrong looked at Su Yi, whose face was still calm, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Yi, the Wei family hopes to get your help and re-establish the great Tang Dynasty where all countries come to the dynasty and the four Yi worship, and at that time, the Wei family is willing to share wealth with the Su family!" ”
Su Yi smiled bitterly at Wei Jingrong and said: "Uncle, the Tang Dynasty has been extinct for more than a thousand years, and the four kingdoms of Cangyu, Liuyun, Tianxing, and Ziyue, which inherited most of the territory of the Tang Dynasty back then, are not considered first-class powers in the world, but they are not something that the Su family army with small arms and legs can shake, if my uncle is here for this matter, then I can only say sorry." ”
"Xiao Yi, the Su family army in your hands, since it can defeat the two major fleets of the Jisk Imperial Navy and the two divisions of the Jisk Imperial Army, it is not a small arm and leg, not to mention that now the four countries of Cangyu, Liuyun, Tianxing, and Ziyue are still at war with the Sharad Empire, the Jisk Empire, and the Orenza Empire, as long as they plan properly, the Su family army can greatly expand its strength with the help of this war and develop into a behemoth." Wei Jingrong said with an earnest face.
Su Yi shook his head and said, "Uncle, I am very satisfied with my current situation, I am not a child of the Wei family, and I can't afford to take risks for that illusory goal. ”
Su Yi's words have been made very clear, it is impossible for him to take advantage of the Wei family's fire and turn the foundation he has worked so hard to build into a help for the Wei family's recovery.
Wei Jingrong suddenly smiled at this time and said: "Xiao Yi, maybe what I said just now made you a little misunderstood, our Wei family does not have the idea of peeking into this family business in your hands, but just hopes to become an ally with your Su family army, and when our Wei family needs it, we can get help from Xiao Yi you." ”
After a pause, Wei Jingrong continued: "As long as Xiao Yi is willing to form an alliance with the Wei family, our Wei family can immediately take out eight million British dollars to sponsor the Su family's army, and in the future, we will give the Su family army at least five million dollars of free aid every year." ”
Wei Jingrong's words made Su Yi swallow his saliva, the British dollar is the currency issued by the Yingluoba Empire, the world's largest power, and implements the gold system, and it is also the world's most important international means of payment and reserve currency, and its status is almost equivalent to the original world's dollar.
According to the current exchange rate of about ten to one between the silver dollar and the British dollar, eight million British dollars is almost 80 million silver dollars, you must know that the entire Kangshan County occupied by the Su Jiajun had less than four million silver dollars in the previous year, which shows how big a sum of money eight million British dollars is, and the Wei family will give Su Jiajun another five million British dollars every year in the future, which makes Su Yi suddenly a little messy, and a little stunned by the money.
Although Su Yi can sell some of the goods of the system for money, but the premise is that he can sell them, and now Su Yi has accumulated more than 1.2 million silver dollars in his hands by selling rice and canned meat in the entire Xingang County and Kangshan City, and in addition, the entire eight counties of Kangshan County plus the finances of Kangshan City can still make up less than 300,000 silver dollars.
In other words, Su Yi barely had a total of 1.5 million silver dollars in his hands, which made Su Yi dare not pay the cyborg officers and soldiers under his command.
"So...... Uncle, there must be no free lunch in the world, if the Su family army forms an alliance with the Wei family, what do I need to do? In the face of such a big deal from the Wei family, Su Yi was not moved by it, but if the Wei family's requirements were too harsh, Su Yi would not compromise for money.
Wei Jingrong was a little relieved when he heard Su Yi's words, and immediately said: "Xiao Yi, the Wei family only has two requirements, one is for our Wei family to enter the Su family's navy and army, of course, they are mainly based on study, at the appropriate time, our Wei family hopes to use these people as the team to form our Wei family's army force and a naval fleet, and the second is to hope that the Su family's navy can help the Wei family's naval fleet to resist the enemy from the sea together after our Wei family occupies a certain port city." ”
Su Yi listened to the two conditions put forward by Wei Jingrong, thought about it for a while and said, "Uncle, the matter of forming an alliance with the Wei family is very important, and I must discuss it with the people under me. ”
"Xiao Yi, the fact that our Wei family is the descendants of the Tang royal family must not be known to outsiders, otherwise not only our Wei family will suffer a catastrophe, but even the Su family army may be implicated."
"Uncle, don't worry, I know it in my heart, then I will arrange for someone to let my uncle stay, and tomorrow morning, I will definitely give my uncle an answer."
"Okay, but this time I came to Kangshan City, I also brought more than 200 people, and now these people are still on the passenger ship."
"The inn in Kangshan City is full of people, and we can only temporarily arrange more than 200 people to rest in the barracks tonight."
After Wei Jingrong left the study, Su Yi quickly found He Yunfei and told He Yunfei about the Wei family's desire to form an alliance, even if the Wei family was a descendant of the Tang royal family, Su Yi did not hide it from He Yunfei, and He Yunfei would not reveal this secret anyway.
"Marshal, I think we can form an alliance with the Wei family, with the financial support of the Wei family, our Su family army can carry out a larger-scale expansion and seize more territory."
"But the people of the Wei family are going to enter our Su family's army, and I am worried that the people of the Wei family will cause something in the army."
"Dashuai, even if we prepare a newly expanded infantry brigade, there will be many soldiers loyal to Dashuai as the backbone, if the people of the Wei family enter this infantry brigade, they will not be able to make any big waves, and we can limit the number and position of the Wei family in the army, and even try to put the people of the Wei family together, if something really happens in the future, it should not have much impact on the entire Su family's army."
"Yun Fei is reasonable, then form an alliance with the Wei family! Hehe, I will give eight million British dollars as soon as I open my mouth, and I will give five million British dollars every year in the future, I didn't expect that I, Su Yi, would have such a local tyrant relative! ”
