Chapter 74: Two Percent
Xiong Bushuang is a very sunny young man, not as rugged and majestic as his eldest brother, he is young, and he is extremely calm in his gestures. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ Seeing that the bear was coming without raising his horse, although his eyes were slightly red, he did not show too drastic movements, but only stood there quietly, and waited for a few people to come to him, then he stepped forward, raised his hand to grab the reins of the horse, and looked up at the bear without lifting.
"Brother, it's good to come back."
Xiong Buju jumped off the horse, hugged his brother hard, laughed and punched him in the chest, and said, "Okay! I haven't seen you for two years, and I'm a lot stronger! Now he's the head of the Xiong family, right? Not bad! Not bad! It's got a look. β
"Brother, look at what you said." Xiong Buxing smiled and shook his head and said: "Dad left in a hurry that day, and you are not in the castle, so my brother has to pick up this burden for the eldest brother first, and now that the eldest brother is back, the position of the head of the family should naturally be yours of the eldest brother." β
"What kind of bastard?" Xiong Bu's old face was tense, and he said unhappily: "The head of the family is what you say you should be, and let it go?" Our Xiong family is no better than others, there are not so many twists and turns, I am used to being lazy, you should be the right person for this family. You can talk when you are young, you are a piece of housekeeping material, and the Xiong family is in your hands, so I can rest assured. β
"Come on, I'll introduce you." Xiong Buju called Jiang Yun, and Zhao Jun said: "This is my brother, brother, these two are my friends, this is Brother Jiang, this is Brother Zhao." If I can come back, I'm afraid I'm still stained with their light, you have to entertain people for me, don't slack off. β
"I'm not happy to have seen Brother Jiang, Brother Zhao." When Xiong Buxing heard this, he immediately bent down and saluted.
"Look, I said that my brother can talk when he is young, and he is a scene at a glance!" Xiong Buju is very proud.
After finishing speaking, Xiong Bushuang looked at the handsome young woman sitting in front of his brother, and said with a happy face: "This beautiful woman, isn't she a sister-in-law?" Ouch, big brother, you are really good, in one or two years, not only did you marry a daughter-in-law, but even your children are so old? β
βγγγβ The young woman's face turned pale, and Xiong Buju said angrily: "I just said that you can speak human words, why do you talk about bastards?" Babbling more, beware of me sucking you kid to death! β
Everyone laughed, and under the leadership of Xiong Bushuang, they strolled into Xiongjiabao. After returning to Xiong Mansion, entering the hall to serve tea was an indispensable procedure, but before Jiang Yun could take a sip to moisten his throat, a young man in Tsing Yi rushed in and shouted repeatedly: "Master, it's not good, the people of the Yang family and the Li family are here again, and now they have reached the gate of the city." β
Xiong Bushuang sighed helplessly. "Please come to the hall."
"The Yang family? The Li family? What are you doing in my Xiongjiabao? Xiong Bu said suspiciously: "Still coming again?" Feelings have come a lot of times, huh? β
"Big brother doesn't know." Xiong Bushuang smiled bitterly: "It's been more than a year since you left, something happened to the Xiong family, logically speaking, it's a good thing, but it has also caused a lot of trouble, these days brother, hey!" I am worried all day long, for fear that one carelessness will ruin the century-old foundation of my Xiong family. β
"So serious?" Xiong Buju's face changed slightly. "Tell me about it."
"Big brother, do you remember that in the north of Ram Ridge, there is a Sheep Horn Mountain near the Mushui River?"
"Of course I remember." Xiong Buju wondered: "It's just a small dirt mountain, what's the trouble?" β
"What a dirt mountain!" Xiong Bushuang shook his head again and again: "Just more than half a year ago, Yibei Zhudi encountered heavy rain, after a lightning flash and thunder, lightning actually split on Sheephorn Mountain, and it took a long time to blow up a big hole. It's a silver mine! That's a small mine at all! If it is mined properly, it will at least ensure that thousands of people in my Xiong family will not be able to eat for a hundred years! β
"There are also veins in Yizhou?" Xiong Buju was shocked when he heard this.
This thing is too unusual, although Yizhou has a good environment and is suitable for living, but this place is notoriously poor! The reason is that no mines have been found in the entire Yizhou, and all the gold and silver are all obtained from the trade between the three major families and the Celestial Empire. Now there is a silver mine on his land, even if it is too small to be small, it is enough to make all the forces covetous.
When Jiang Yun heard this, he also knew that it was bad! What a sin! The Xiong family's little family background is almost negligible in the eyes of the three major families, and they have no ability to keep what should belong to them. The reason why no one has done anything after half a year is probably because there are too many people who are worried about this mine, and no one dares to be too arrogant to act as this bird. But a disaster is a disaster after all, and it will definitely come, it is just a matter of time before it comes.
Xiong Buju knew that this problem was a bit serious, why was it difficult for his brother to deal with it. Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and the difficulty of dealing with it is not how to avoid disasters, otherwise you only need to order your subordinates to withdraw from Sheephorn Mountain. The focus of the problem is how to reap as much benefit as possible while avoiding disaster.
In the final analysis, the mine appeared on the land of the Xiong family, nominally belonging to the property of the Xiong family, and giving it to people, no matter the reason, is unwilling to think about it after all.
"Do you have any advice for the two brothers?" Xiong Buju was a little flustered for a moment, turned his head to look at the two and asked.
Although Zhao Junren is a naΓ―ve child, he obviously sees through the key to this, thinking about it, his elbow can't help but turn inward, and he muttered: "As far as the younger brother knows, the Yang and Li families are constantly fighting for hegemony, and they will never let the mine be in the hands of others, so if Brother Xiong wants to keep the mine, according to the younger brother, he might as well turn to the Lu family for help, some benefits, in contrast, the Lu family is the most peaceful and fair, if you can be protected by the Lu family, you don't dare to act rashly if you want to come to the Yang and Li families." β
"Nope." Xiong Bushuang shook his head again and again: "It's too far!" The Lu family is located in the north of the water, far away from my Ram Ridge, on the contrary, we are in the jurisdiction of the Yang family, and there is only a river away from the Li family, if it was the Lu family thousands of years ago, it would naturally have the ability to shelter us, and now the Lu family, alas! has been squeezed out by Yang Li for a long time, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect itself, and it has long lost the prestige of the year. A silver mine, are you tempted to be the Lu family? But for more than half a year, the Lu family didn't even send anyone to negotiate, I'm afraid it was also because of their own knowledge, they didn't have the ability to share this mouthful. β
"Brother Jiang? What are you thinking? Xiong Buju saw Jiang Yun looking at the coffee table in front of him with blank eyes, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
Jiang Yun rolled his eyes, what did I think? I'm wondering how to move this silver mine home. Although this small silver mine, after refining, may not be comparable to the two shelves of his own money warehouse, but it is money! Who is afraid of money? No matter how small the mosquito leg is, it is also meat, and it is better to cheapen yourself than to cheapen others.
Of course, this cannot be said in the same way. Jiang Yun pondered for a moment and said: "Let's see what the two families say, it's really not possible, you can only choose the one with better conditions, after all, survival is the key." β
Having said that, the little guy outside the door had led the two of them into the hall quickly.
One of them was in his twenties, with a somewhat obscene appearance, a pair of inverted triangular eyes always squinting slightly, and his nostrils facing the sky, which made people slap him when they saw it. The other man was in his fifties, slightly chubby, and behaved quite gracefully, obviously with an excellent family education, but in terms of clothing, he did not look like a head of the house.
"I'm not happy to see Butler Le." Xiong Buxing saw the two of them, immediately got up and saluted, and said, "Young Master? How did you come here in person? β
"Yoh?" Different from Steward Le's smile and peacefulness, Yang Mowen shouted extremely domineeringly: "Feelings, you see this old thing first, this young master is transparent?" β
"Young Master Cousin laughed." Xiong Bushuang snorted and said with a smile: "The main reason is that you are here, and you are a little flattered by Buxing, so I didn't react at the first time." β
"Well, that's pretty much it." Yang Mowen grinned and said, "Young Master Ben doesn't go around in circles with you, let's make a long story short." Sheephorn Mountain, my Yang family wants it! Give you three days, order all the soldiers to withdraw, and in the future, the silver mine will be mined by my Yang family, and the share mined every month will be half of it with your Xiong family. β
"Half percent?" Xiong Bushuang's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "With such a distribution method, I can't agree to it." β
"Yo? What, you're too little? Yang Mowen sneered disdainfully: "Being a man is the most jealous of greed, and half of you is divided into half of it, it is for the sake of the friendship between the two families for hundreds of years, don't say that Sheephorn Mountain, that is, the entire Ram Ridge, all of them are the land of my Yang family, and you are in love, if your Xiong family does not know how to lift, it is okay for my Yang family to directly send troops to occupy it." Besides, half percent is a lot, enough to feed thousands of you. β
What kind of bastard talk is this? Xiong was not very angry, he took a deep breath with an ugly face, suppressed the anger, and then turned to look at Steward Le and said, "What does the Li family mean?" β
Steward Le smiled and stretched out a finger, "It's still the same as before, Yicheng, if the Xiong family hands over the mine to my Li family, we are willing to give you a share." β
"Xiong is not happy, you can think about it carefully." Yang Mowen sneered: "Give it to the Li family? I'm afraid that you have the life to take this silver, but you have no life to spend it. β
"The head of the Xiong family doesn't have to worry, as long as the Xiong family hands over the mine to my Li family, the old man assures you on behalf of the head of the family that my Li family will protect the Xiong family." Steward Le glanced at Yang Mowen lightly, and continued: "No matter who it is, as long as you dare to touch your Xiong family, it is to declare war on my Li family. β
"You!" Yang Mowen was extremely angry, and scolded: "Old immortal, don't think that your Li family is amazing, let's talk about it after crossing the Mushui River!" This Hexi, after all, is the land of my Yang family, no one wants to mess around! β
Steward Le was noncommittal, smiled faintly, and simply ignored him, he had lived a lot of grades, and he would not waste his lips and tongues on some meaningless things.
"Bear is not happy! What the hell do you say? β
"Let me think about it..."
There was a quarrel at the other end, Jiang Yun secretly pulled the bear sleeve without raising it, leaned in and said softly: "Promise the Yang family." β
"Huh?" Xiong was stunned. "Half percent, it's too little, if you want to promise, you also promise the Li family."
"You're stupid!" Jiang Yun hated the iron and said with a grudge: "This is the Yang family's land, I can clean you up at any time, the Li family sends troops, the daylilies are cold, you should go down to the Yang family and let them open the mountain skin!" I assure you, neither of the Yang and Li families can touch your Xiong family, and... β
Jiang Yun stretched out two fingers very righteously. "I promise, you'll get at least 20% of the silver mines...
Compared with a family and a half, a family of one, to give two, it's really righteous... Someone thought shamelessly.
