"What's the benefit?"

Guo Ye chuckled and said: "This benefit is naturally closely related to you, and it has a future than the rampant taxation in the area of Slender West Lake!" ”

Then, he first asked in a low voice what time it was, and Steward Yu replied that it was still early for the funeral to be auspicious, and there was still about half an hour.

Seeing that there was still enough time, he said to the eagle-eyed old seven: "Isn't there twelve halls on the surface of the canal in your Jiangdu Twelve Lianhuan Docks, which specialize in selling illicit salt, tea, iron ore, and rice grain?" ”

Although Eagle Eye Lao Qi didn't know why Guo Ye asked this question, he still nodded and shouted, "So what?" ”

Guo Ye said: "You'll know in a while." ”

Then, he looked at Ma Qianli again and asked, "The reason why your Zhenjiang Dirty Clothes Gang is so down, and the reason why there are many disciples who can't stand the embarrassment of life and defect to the Clean Clothes Gang, is it because the disciples in your gang all live by begging, and they don't have a special livelihood for you?" ”

Ma Qianli's old face turned red, scratched his head and muttered: "Grass, who wants to be bald if you have hair?" If it weren't for Lao Tzu's unwillingness to obey the government's co-optation and his unwillingness to be the eagle dog of the court, how could he get Qiu Wanqi's shriveled calf to be proud? ”

"Good!"

Guo Ye asked bluntly at Ma Qianli: "If we join forces to defeat and cripple the Yangzhou Zhangjia and Suqian Horse Gang, and rob their horse market, you Dirty Clothes Gang will make a living from this horse dealer." In the future, won't you filthy clothes gang just hold a golden job bowl, and you still need to beg everywhere to make a living and suffer the white eyes of others? ”

"Hehe," Ma Qianli scratched the itch on his chest with his dirty hand, and laughed, "This is a good feeling, but our dirty clothes gang is a group of poor flowers, with no long things, and no two taels of silver in their pockets, where can we make horses to sell?" Besides, we don't have a supply of horses, do we? ”

Guo Ye smiled: "This is easy to do!" This official has his own horse farm in Xichuan Metropolitan Protectorate, and he also has a way to get a small number of war horses from Tubo. Isn't this a ready-made source? I can provide you with a steady stream of war horses for the Dirty Clothes Gang, and you don't need to pay the money in cash, you can sell the war horses and then come to settle the bill with me, and I will send someone to follow up with you on this matter. Now the gang leader always has a bottom in his heart, right? ”

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Ma Qianli's eyebrows, even the eagle-eyed old seven and the Yu steward next to him couldn't help but be surprised for a while.

You must know that the Tang Dynasty is already scarce in war horses, so the imperial court has always listed them as war preparation materials, and the control is extremely strict.

This has also led to the popularity of war horses among the people, which has always been a scarce material, and it is completely a seller's market.

And Guo Ye actually has Ma Yuan in his hands, and listening to this meaning, there are not a few Ma Yuan in his hands.

Several people present are smart people who know how to understand the market, and if this business is done well, it is indeed more promising than sticking to the thin West Lake to pay taxes.

However, after Ma Qianli was excited, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, and said softly: "But the imperial court has a stricter control over the war horse resources. Although we Jianghu people never deal with the government, we will not deal with the imperial court. In case the imperial court leads a large army to ask for guilt because of our dirty clothes gang selling war horses, then, what ......?"

"Scared?"

The corners of Guo Ye's mouth raised, and he woke up: "The Ma gang leader is a bit unworthy of his name." But don't you see that the Suqian Horse Gang has always been well mixed? And it's a lot of money, isn't it? You have to understand a truth, if you make a small fuss, the government will definitely investigate you, because your arms will never be able to reach your thighs. But if you monopolize the war horse resources in Huaiyang and the Jiangnan area, do you think the government will still sanction you? At that time, you will become a sweetheart, and maybe the government will come forward to buy war horses with you. Suqian Mabang Zhuyu was in front, and now it is not only safe and sound, but also mixed like a fish in water. Hehe, Ma Gang Master, you are too worried, the pattern is a little bigger, and the steps are a little bigger! ”

"Uh......"

Ma Qianli was silent for a while, as if weighing the pros and cons, and finally slapped himself on the chest, and made up his mind: "Grandma's, starve to death the timid, support the bold, the Suqian Ma Gang can do it, and we can do it with dirty clothes!" Guo Thorn Shi ......"

Ma Qianli bit his lip, looked up at Guo Ye with resolute eyes, and shouted loudly: "Guo Tingshi, thanks to your promotion, then everything will be up to you!" ”

Ma Qianli's statement made Manager Yu breathe a sigh of relief, and his eyes looked at Guo Ye with more and more admiration.

And the eagle-eyed old seven, who was secretly envious and jealous of Ma Qianli's good life, couldn't calm down now, and asked Guo Ye urgently: "Guo Tingshi, you can't favor one over the other." What the Dirty Clothes Gang can do, we can do it in the Twelve Docks, right? ”

Guo Ye is secretly funny, you guy with a lot of eyes is also ready to move?

Immediately, he said to the eagle-eyed old seven: "Your twelve chain docks have always been working on the canal river to make a living, and the iron ore and salt in your hands belong to the materials controlled by the imperial court. The more things the imperial court regulates, the more in-demand they are. Have you ever thought about selling these scarce iron ores and illicit salt into the inland of Shuzhong? Transported to the inland of Shuzhong to sell, the price is often doubled and doubled, you should understand this truth, right? ”

As soon as Hawkeye Lao Qi heard what Guo Ye said about this benefit, he was immediately a little disappointed, and said sullenly: "How can I not understand what you said?" But if you want to sell into the mainland of Shuzhong, how easy is it? Guo Tingshi is an official and does not understand some of the ways on the rivers and lakes. Hi, each has its own territory and territory. For example, the salt gang in Yangzhou, they have never stepped on the border, and their private salt has always been sold in the border of Yangzhou, and they will never come to the boundary of our Jiangdu.

Therefore, there is also a territory in Shuzhong, and we can't just step across the line. Hehe, don't you know, now the most powerful in Shu is the Cao Gang that dominates the entire Shuzhong waters, grandma's, I heard that there are 100,000 disciples in the gang alone. Although our twelve serial docks are called the capital of the river, they really want to step on the line, and they have committed other people's taboos, and it is estimated that they can really get in, but they can't get out! ”

Guo Ye was secretly happy in his heart, and asked with a smile: "Then do you want to get iron ore and private salt into Shu to sell?" Do you want to make three or five times the profit? ”

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Who doesn't want silver for nothing? ”

The eagle-eyed old seven saw that Guo Ye couldn't open the pot, and said depressedly: "But we can't step on the line, hehe, the group of melon babies in Shu are really not easy to mess with." I've heard that last year, someone carried several boatloads of salt and iron into Shuzhong, and the Cao Gang scuttled the boat without even saying hello, and those boats are still feeding fish at the bottom of the Minjiang River. However, they were also a little moral, and sent the owner of the ship out of Shuzhong with all arms and legs. ”

Guo Ye squinted his eyes and suddenly asked, "Then if I can get you through the Cao Gang's level, in the future, all the salt and iron from your twelve chain docks can enter Shuzhong and sell, what do you think?" Isn't it better than nesting on the territory of Slender West Lake and doing the dirty thing of tapping and paying tribute? ”

"Nonsense, of course it's good!"

The eagle-eyed old seven blurted out, and immediately questioned again: "But Guo Tingshi, do you have this ability?" ”

Guo Ye pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "It's rare and weird, isn't it?" Have you forgotten where my ancestors are? Since you know the Cao Gang, haven't you heard that the birthplace of the Cao Gang is in Longxi, Yizhou? Don't think that I don't understand the affairs of the rivers and lakes because I am a person in the court, hehe, I will tell you that before Sun Mingyan, the chief helmsman of the Cao Gang, did he eat under my hands? I'll tell you, did I single-handedly bring about the Cao Gang? I will tell you, will the 100,000 disciples of the Cao Gang worship me as the founding patriarch? I'll tell you, can I be the master of everything that the Cao Gang does? Hehe......

The four words of Longxi Guo Ye are called casually? ”

"Uh......"

The eagle-eyed old seven has completely lost his past scheming and city government, walked up to Guo Ye, bent over ninety degrees and bowed convincingly: "Guo Tingshi, we really have a long experience today, I didn't know gold and jade before, and I blinded my eyes with feces and urine, so don't blame it!" ”

Guo Ye waved his hand very generously, and asked with a smile: "Those who don't know are not guilty, now I ask you again, the chief scoop, are you willing to join forces with me to deal with the Zhang family in Yangzhou, help the wind and thunder hall to survive this catastrophe, and let the master of the thunder hall come out of the funeral at an auspicious time, and enter the earth for peace?" ”

The eagle-eyed old seven lowered his head a little shyly, and said embarrassedly: "Guo Tingshi, don't be in trouble." Compared to you, our scoop is a fart! ”

"It's extreme," Ma Qianli also recovered from the shock just now, and said loyally, "Guo Tingshi, you are so attentive to the two of us, and you appreciate our face so much, how can we not carry it?" If you do it, you will do it with Guo Tingshi, the Zhang family has a few moths today, let's fuck it! ”

Bang bang bang~!

A panicked knock on the door interrupted the harmonious atmosphere in the side hall, and a disciple of the Wind Thunder Hall shouted outside, "Is the rest of the steward here?" Zhang Yuanxin, the third master of the Zhang family in Gujing Lane, led the house slaves of their Zhang Mansion to block the gate of our Fenglei Village. said that he wanted to raise the teacher to ask for sin, and not let our Lei Hall master go in peace! ”

Steward Yu was startled and shouted, "What? The Zhang family's group of puppies really came to the door? ”

Guo Ye stretched out his hand and pressed the old steward who was about to go berserk, and said: "Don't worry, old steward, today's matter in Fengleizhuang is my Guo Ye's matter, and everything is on my shoulder." ”

Seeing this, Hawkeye Lao Qi and Ma Qianli knew that the time had come, so they rolled up their sleeves and shouted: "Come on, come on, kill this group of Wang Bacao, and add chaos on top of white things, and don't you talk about the rules?" ”

"That's right, the dead are the greatest, so let's gather our brothers and fight with them first!"

Guo Ye immediately stopped the two of them, and said hurriedly: "You two don't be impatient, now it's just Zhang Yuanxin arsoning slaves to make trouble, and the Suqian Ma Gang and the Jinling Jingyi Gang haven't responded yet, so it's not time for you to help." Now I'll deal with it outside, and when I give an order, it's not too late for you to do it! ”

Saying that, Guo Ye gently patted the old steward on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I asked Zhang Jiujin and Wang Bajin to go to the government to summon a group of officials, no matter what happens today, I will let the Lei Hall master go out of the funeral at an auspicious time, let him go to the earth first, and go to Bliss in peace!" ”

After saying that, he turned around suddenly, pushed open the door of the side hall, and walked in the direction of the gate of Fengleizhuang, let's talk about the first hand with Zhang Yuanxin before anything else.
