For Sun Chengzhong, the eldest man who has dedicated his life to this dynasty, Lu Hanqiang said bitterly, "Boss, have you ever thought about it, I used this condition in exchange for a reduction of six million salaries, and I and the cabinet exchanged for a tax exemption for the people in the northwest for three years, and if we don't take over this task, the dynasty will resume the plan to increase the salaries of the northwest provinces again, and when the time comes, the matter that I just promised to reduce or reduce the taxes of the northwest will be in vain, which will provoke countless people to resist, and the displaced people will appear again. Such a vicious circle will drag down our dynasty, in order to save this old empire from many military disasters, I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? ”

Sun Chengzhong stared at Lu Hanqiang for a long, long time, his eyes changed from the original coldness, slowly became soft again, and finally a complex interweaving of gratitude and sadness. Heavenly Sounds "." ⒉

In the end, he couldn't help but sit back in frustration, but looking at Lu Hanqiang's confident appearance now, he also began to wonder if Lu Hanqiang could really repay 20 million in ten years? After thinking for a long time, he straightened up and asked solemnly, "Say, what do you need me to do?" As long as I can do what the Liaodong Jingluo Mansion can do, everything will be correct. "He really doesn't want to see Lu Hanqiang ruined, he really doesn't want to see Lu Hanqiang deceive the people of the Ming Dynasty.

And Zu Dashou is eyes lit up, Lu Hanqiang wants to throw six million silver in this Liaoxi, it is absolutely necessary to get a piece of the pie here, since you Lu Hanqiang ruined the fact that I built the castle at the beginning, so that I have less income from greedy ink, then I must take it out in your pocket, especially at this time, it is the time to pinch Lu Hanqiang's neck, and the opportunity will not come again, so Zu Dashou expressed concern and asked: "Lord Lu, if you have any requirements, we can talk about it." ”

Lu Hanqiang knew Zu Dashou's thoughts, so he smiled and said: "Of course, the benefits of the world are the people of the world, but it is completely okay to meet and share some, I am a little too much to say that I am a little too loss, okay, then I will give you a part, and it can be regarded as a subsidy for the Guanning Iron Horse, but in front of me, everything is not very big, but you must listen to me." ”

As soon as he heard that Lu Hanqiang could share some benefits, Zu Dashou was of course full of joy, leaned out and asked enthusiastically, "Is there anything I can help with?" ”

Lu Hanqiang stood up and said with a smile: "I don't need Lord Zu to send troops to kill people for me, and I don't need you to preside over any justice for me, general, I just need a dock, that's all, that's all." ”

"A dock? It's as simple as that? Sun Chengzong and Zu Dashou glanced at each other suspiciously, and they really didn't understand the purpose of Lu Hanqiang's request.

Lu Hanqiang said with a smile: "If the two adults think that this matter is very simple, you might as well allocate me another piece of land, so that no matter what I do, when Dalinghe, Yizhou, and Ningcheng are not in my hands, I, the governor of Liaoxi, have a foothold after all, or you let me have nowhere to go with more than 50,000 horses." ”

As long as there are interests, Zu Dashou will never be stingy with a piece of land, because the land is not his own at all, except for the real good land in his family's name, the others are state, so since it is the state, it has nothing to do with himself, this thing can be agreed, so he smiled and said: "I don't know what kind of land Lord Lu wants?" ”

Lu Hanqiang pointed to a place near the sea on the map and said: "I want Huludao, which is in the west of Jinzhou and the east of Suizhong." ”

When he mentioned this place, Zu Dashou remembered it, in fact, the current Huludao is also called Jinxi, but it is just a large wasteland and a village and town, and there is no prosperity in later generations, he really doesn't understand why Lu Hanqiang took a fancy to this broken place, and without waiting for Sun Chengzhong to answer, this land snake waved his hand generously: "Although this land issue is not under my control, I think Lord Sun will definitely be happy to give it to you, but it is just a wasteland, a small village by the sea." Then he laughed: "Could it be that your Lord Lu's soldier rabbit legs are tired of eating, and this time you want to change the taste and eat seafood instead, hahahaha." My Lord Lu, the seafood on the coast of western Liaoning is very abundant, and it is guaranteed that your soldiers will eventually lose their appetite. After laughing, his expression turned serious: "But let's talk about it, I know Lord Lu's methods, that is really a stone that can turn you into gold, I don't expect you to turn all the stones in that small village in Huludao into gold, but you said, make up for my Guanning Iron Cavalry, this matter has to be counted, I don't know how to deal with it?" ”

Sun Chengzong was very disdainful of this shameless ancestor who asked for money, Lu Hanqiang had reached this point, he even thought about reaching out to ask for money, it was really hateful.

Lu Hanqiang smiled: "This matter is very simple, that small village is twenty miles away from the sea, I will buy it from your ancestor, how about it?" Let's make a price. "Zu Dashou was a little dizzy at that time, what kind of income can he have by the sea? Do you really go fishing? It doesn't seem like it, if this is really to repay the 2ooo million silver by fishing, I estimate that even if Lu Hanqiang has eight generations of ancestors, he will not be able to pay off the debt for thousands of years.

But since people give money, of course they can't do without it, so they gritted their teeth: "I won't charge you more than 10,000 taels for a piece of wasteland, and then you can do whatever you want." At that time, Sun Chengzong was about to jump up and scold, the lion opened his mouth, what is the lion's big mouth? Here it is.

The place in Huludao is within the jurisdiction of his Liaodong Economic Strategy, and he used to walk there at that time, it is simply a saline-alkali beach barren land, and rabbits don't in the place, 10,000 taels, you grab it.

But at this time, Lu Hanqiang laughed: "Master Zu, you may be low now, but it's good, then so be it, within twenty years, 10,000 taels a year, it's decided." ”

At that time, Zu Dashou was stunned, he originally said that he was selling him for 10,000 taels, but did this kid get into the water in his head? Unexpectedly, it is 10,000 a year or 20 years, 200,000, that is 200,000 taels of silver for white flowers, which is completely enough for the expenses of 10,000 of his own soldiers for ten years, is this the pie that fell from the sky in the legend? This is not good, you must take a look at it, don't smash your feet and face, then it will be a big loss.

The more he thought about Lu Hanqiang, the more funny he felt, so he continued: "Actually, let me tell you the truth, my logistics and transportation are all carried by my Ping 66, not to mention the long distance, the consumption during this is simply unpredictable, and I am going to build a wharf on Hulu Island, so that I can directly exchange the coke of Ping 6 to the grain merchants in the south for grain, and then, either by sea, or through the canal to Shandong, and then by sea to Huludao, in this way, the annual transportation cost I consume will be greatly reduced. This may be able to ensure the logistical security of our entire army in the western Liaoning region, but in fact, this is a very cost-effective account. ”
