Zhao Qingquan said: "General Li, Zhao has a suggestion, I don't know if General Li is willing?" ”

Li Zhen said: "As long as you give 200,000 taels of silver, everything is easy to say." ”

Zhao Qingquan pondered for a moment and said: "The Dongwang family has a big business, and there is countless money in the house, and it is not difficult to take out 200,000 taels of silver, but it is not good to spread it. Therefore, the king of the east secretly took out 200,000 taels of silver, but he could only say that he redeemed 10,000 soldiers with 50,000 taels of silver, can he agree? ”

Li Zhenyan said that Yang Xiuqing loves face, but he is very happy.

He worked hard to get more money just to keep some of it for himself.

Zhao Qingquan took the initiative to speak out and gave him a chance.

Li Zhen snickered in his heart, but his face showed hesitation, and after thinking about it for a while, he said unhurriedly: "As long as you give 200,000 taels of silver, how to operate is decided by Mr. Zhao and Dongwang, and you only need to collect money." However, this time Li Zhen came, he couldn't go home empty-handed! ”

"Smack! Syllable!! ”

Yang Xiuqing chuckled twice and clapped her hands again and again.

Suddenly, a guard walked into the main hall with a plate on which there was a stack of silver tickets. Yang Xiuqing pointed to the silver ticket on the plate, and said with a smile: "General Yang, this is a 150,000 taels of silver ticket, I will hand it over to you in private first." The next time we exchange soldiers, we will give another fifty thousand taels of silver. ”

Li Zhen accepted the silver ticket, put it in his arms, and said with a smile: "Dongwang is refreshing, I hope we will cooperate again next time." ”

The corners of Yang Xiuqing's mouth twitched slightly, and secretly said that there would be no time in the future.

Zhao Qingquan waved his hand and said, "General Li, the matter is settled, Zhao will send you away." ”

"Wait!"

Li Zhen stretched out his hand to stop it and said: "King Dong, the soldiers under my command and I came to Nanjing at the risk of being killed. You have a lot of money in your house, why don't you give me another tens of millions of taels of silver, so that I and the soldiers under my command can make some money, and we can't run for nothing! ”

Yang Xiuqing raised her eyebrows, and she was about to get angry.

He suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Qingquan, give him six thousand taels of silver." ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Qingquan glanced at Li Zhen, and secretly said in his heart that Li Zhenyan had plucked his hair. He took Li Zhen out of the hall, and Huang Shihai knew that the matter was done, so he left with Li Zhen.

Zhao Qingquan sent Li Zhen out of Nanjing City and turned back.

After Li Zhen led the people away from Nanjing City, Huang Shihai asked: "My lord, you and Yang Xiuqing discussed and finally decided how much money to exchange for 10,000 prisoners. ”

Li Zhen said with a smile: "Yang Xiuqing promised to exchange 200,000 taels of silver for 10,000 prisoners, and also gave an additional 6,000 taels, a total of 206,000 taels of silver." The number I told Qi Shan was 100,000 taels, and I could cut off 100,000 and 6,000 taels. With this money, it will be possible to change the equipment of the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Special Forces later. Step by step, the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion must not only have the best equipment, but also the most elite troops, so that the enemy will be feared. ”

When Huang Shihai heard this, his heart was agitated.

Immediately, Huang Shihai showed a worried look and said in a deep voice: "My lord, if Qi Shan finds out that you have withheld 106,000 taels of silver without permission, wouldn't it be a bad thing?" ”

Li Zhen told Zhao Qingquan again, and said with a smile: "Yang Xiuqing said 50,000 taels of silver, and Qi Shan got another 100,000 taels of silver, no one knows that I swallowed the money." In addition, Yang Xiuqing was extorted a large amount of money, and he felt uncomfortable and would not mention this matter. Let's go, hurry up and go to Swallow Rock. ”

Huang Shihai stopped talking, and followed closely behind Li Zhen with his guards.

In the afternoon, Li Zhen and his entourage came to Yanziji and found the hotel where Mas rested. Li Zhen entered Maas's room, and Maas immediately greeted him, gave Li Zhen a bear hug, and said with a smile: "God forbid, you are finally back." Li, didn't the group of madmen in Nanjing embarrass you? ”

Li Zhen shrugged his shoulders and said, "Do you think I look like I'm being troubled?" ”

Maas smiled and immediately waved his hand to let Li Zhen take a seat.

Li Zhen entered the room and sat down, and said with a smile: "Brother Maas, let's talk about weapons now. ”

Maas looked surprised and chuckled in his heart.

Is it necessary to change the price?

Maas thought of a misunderstanding with Li Zhen, and shook his head again and again, thinking that Li Zhen was honest and reliable, and it was impossible to change the price. Maas took a deep breath and said, "Dear Lee, let's talk about something directly." ”

Li Zhen took out the 35,000 taels of silver tickets that had been prepared from his arms, handed them to Mas, and said, "Mas, this is 35,000 taels of silver tickets, which is the money to buy guns and ammunition, count them." ”

Maas took the silver ticket and was moved in his heart.

He clutched the silver ticket tightly, for fear that the silver ticket would fly. After a pause, Maas looked up at Li Zhen and asked, "Li, you gave me all the money to buy guns and ammunition, aren't you afraid that I will take the money and leave, and won't give you guns and ammunition?" ”

Li Zhen said: "Brother Mas, are you from the Beretta family? ”

At the mention of the word 'Beretta', Maas straightened his chest, with a proud look on his face, and said aloud: "God gave me the birth of the Beretta family, this is the pride of my life, I will be proud of this, I will fight for the Beretta family." My friend, my name is Maas. Beretta. ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Zhen's mouth, and he said: "I believe that the Maas brothers will not ruin the reputation of the Beretta family, and they will also abide by the qualities that an honest businessman should have, so I trust you." ”

In fact, Li Zhen knew about the Beretta family.

A person who knows a lot about weapons, if he doesn't even know the Beretta family, definitely doesn't know the history of firearms. Italy's Beretta family is one of the oldest arms manufacturers, having been producing light weapons and making firearms since the 16th century.

Maas said with a serious expression: "My friend, don't worry. As long as I have a breath left, I will definitely transport 1,000 guns and 100,000 rounds of ammunition to the camp in Jiangbei. ”

Li Zhen nodded and asked, "Brother Maas, after you sell your weapons, are you going to buy silk and tea?" ”

"God, Lee, you're so smart that you already know what I'm going to do."

Maas exclaimed, looking surprised.

Li Zhenyan said that most of the merchants who came to China bought silk and tea, and then returned to China to sell them to earn profits. Maas was a serious businessman of the Beretta family, and he was no exception.

Li Zhen said: "Brother Maas, if you go to buy tea, it is likely that the price will be raised. If you don't mind, you don't buy tea and silk for the time being, and I will ask Qi Shan, the minister of the camp in Jiangbei, to help you buy it, and then buy cheap silk and tea when you deliver weapons. In this way, you can buy more tea and silk, and you can make a lot of money when you return home, what do you think? ”

Maas's eyes flashed with excitement, and his eyes lit up and said, "Li, you are really an angel sent by God, and God bless you to meet you." ”

As he spoke, Maas quickly gestured to his chest with a cross.

Li Zhen smiled and said: "Mas, we are good friends, and it is appropriate to help friends." ”

"Yes, yes, we're good friends."

Maas danced excitedly and said, "Lee, you wait. ”

With that, Maas stood up and walked to the edge of the bed. He quickly took out a piece of clothing and fumbled in the pocket of it. Immediately, Maas took out a golden pocket watch from his pocket, the style was simple, and the cover was a hollow gold pattern, which was very delicate and showed an old color.

"Lee, as a gift to witness our friendship, this pocket watch is given to you." Maas said.

Li Zhen shook his head and said, "Brother Mas, I can't accept such a valuable gift." ”

Maas looked serious and said, "Lee, do you look down on me?" Although I am temporarily down, I will definitely become a pillar of the Oberetta family in the future. This pocket watch was purchased by my great-grandfather from Switzerland and has been passed down to me ever since. Now I give it to you as a testimony of our friendship. ”

Li Zhen no longer hesitated, took the pocket watch and put it in his arms.

Maas laughed, feeling that he had made the wisest decision he had made.

PS: Two of the four watches;
