Cui Yiqi looked at Guo Ye's anxious appearance, couldn't help but purse his lips and smile proudly, and said in a low voice: "Wu Dongjia, this time the trading plate is quite large, I don't tell him about ordinary people!" ”

Guo Ye nodded again and again, and said: "That's that, Cui Dongjia is a bright person, otherwise Wu wouldn't have fallen in love with you like this, and I hate to see you late." ”

Cui Yiqi asked, "Wu Dongjia, do you know Slender West Lake?" ”

Guo Yedao: "I know that Wow, Slender West Lake is so famous in Yangzhou, how could Wu not know?" The area around the Slender West Lake is full of Qinlou Chu Pavilion, a place where warblers and swallows sing at night. And the painting boat on the Slender West Lake is as many as hundreds, and the Qinhuai River, the holy land of Jinling's fireworks, is not too much. What's wrong? ”

Cui Yiqi saw that Guo Ye's answer was fluent, and he was very satisfied with the effort of saving some saliva to introduce, and asked: "Then does the Wu Dong family know who is in charge of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion and hundreds of painting boats in the area of Slender West Lake now?" ”

Guo Ye frowned when he heard this, shook his head, and said, "I heard before that this territory is controlled by the Wind Thunder Hall, which has been entrenched in Yangzhou for decades. As far as Wu knows, although these Qinlou Chu Pavilion and the Painting Boat all have their own owners, they secretly have to pay tribute to the Wind Thunder Hall. However, after the death of Lei Laohu, the master of the Wind Thunder Hall, the Wind Thunder Hall also disbanded itself. As for who this place belongs to now, Wu does not know. By the way, didn't it mean that the Salt Gang entered Slender West Lake and directly took over this territory? ”

"It seems that Wu Dongjia knows a lot, but you only know one, not the second!"

Cui Yiqi shook his head and continued: "What kind of goods are the Salt Gang, Wu Dongjia still doesn't know? Let them mess and sell illicit salt on the river, maybe they can do it. But if you let them manage a huge territory in Slender West Lake, how can the Salt Gang be that piece of material? Hehe, what else can the bastards of the Salt Gang do except rely on their majesty and scourge the fireworks women in the area of Slender West Lake? Let me tell you the truth, as far as I know, the Salt Gang is messing around in Slender West Lake, and the proprietors of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion and the Painting Boat are already boiling with public resentment. Hehe, so the Yangzhou government has taken back this piece of land from the Salt Gang and driven all the idiots of the Salt Gang out of Yangzhou City. ”

"Really?"

Guo Ye looked incredulous and asked, "Since the dissolution of the Wind and Thunder Hall and the destruction of the Zhang family in Gujing Lane, the Salt Gang is also the number one force in Yangzhou. Are they willing to be driven out of Slender West Lake by the government and driven back to the river to earn a living? Last month, they sold out of illicit salt, and Wu thought they were ready to get rid of the days of selling illicit salt, and then go ashore to spend their birthday in Slender West Lake. ”

"What if they're not willing?"

Cui Yiqi snorted disdainfully and said, "No matter how rampant the Salt Gang is, isn't it just a gang?" Could it be that they still dare to do it with the government? You may not know that Chen Lang, the leader of the Salt Gang, is now the commander of Yangzhou, and he is the dogleg of Guo Ye, the assassin of Yangzhou. Guo is a notoriously ruthless wolf cub, he can't say a word, can Chen Lang still do it? ”

Paralysized, Guo Ye secretly scolded Cui Yiqi in his heart for the eighteenth generation of his ancestors, did Lao Tzu recruit you to provoke you? Are you guilty of slandering Lao Tzu like this?

Cui Yiqi didn't pay attention to Guo Ye's face, and continued to talk eloquently: "After the Salt Gang was kicked out of Slender West Lake by the Yangzhou government, there will be no one to take charge of Slender West Lake here for the time being. But it is impossible for the government to let these proprietors of the Qin Tower, Chu Pavilion and the painting boat make a lot of money in silence, and it is not good to directly use the name of the government to pay tribute to them, which will damage their reputation. Therefore, the government thought of a way to make money once and for all without losing dignity. ”

Guo Ye was very cooperative and asked, "What way?" ”

Cui Yiqi said: "To say that this assassin surnamed Guo is not only a ruthless wolf cub, but also a little fox who has accumulated money." Tsk, guess what? He actually thought of selling the Slender West Lake and the surrounding area of the Slender West Lake in the name of the government, and then let the proprietors of the Qin Mansion Chu Pavilion and the painting boat communicate with the buyers whether to renew the lease here and open the door for business.

Good guy, this time I will save the cumbersome procedure of taking the tribute, and directly dig the hoe to the end, and collect all the money from the tribute in the next few decades. In this way, not only did he collect all the silver at one time, but also saved himself from dealing with the proprietors of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion and the Painting Boat, so as not to tarnish the reputation of the official government, and so as not to lose his official reputation as the assassin of Yangzhou. ”

Guo Ye sighed, nodded and said: "This Guo Tingshi is very smart, this tap is a matter of bad reputation, he turned decay into magic, and turned it into a reasonable and legal rent." According to what you say, if he sells the land of Slender West Lake, it should be treated at a low price, and it is impossible to really calculate it according to the real lease money. Otherwise, the person who bought this land is really stupid. ”

"That's right!"

Cui Yiqi nodded and said, "If you don't make money, who will buy this land to collect rent from those Qinlou Chu Pavilion and Painting Boats?" I heard that the official mansion of this piece of land in Slender West Lake was sold permanently for 8 million taels. Tsk, don't look at eight million taels of silver, it's an astronomical amount. However, compared with the huge place of Slender West Lake, compared with the rent collected by Slender West Lake every year, it will definitely be able to return to its original cost in less than five years. The rent collected after five years is really pure earning! Ten years, twenty years, thirty years, my God, I made a fortune. ”

Guo Ye also deliberately put on a greedy look on his face, and smacked his lips salivatingly: "This Guo Tingshi really made a big profit, and bought out Slender West Lake at a price of eight million taels of silver, what is the difference between this and giving it away for nothing?" But also, if he is a lion with a big mouth, who in the world can afford this place? The interests are evenly matched, and it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, this is the king's way. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Cui Yiqi nodded and said: "Eight million taels to buy Slender West Lake, five years to return to the capital, five years later, the annual rent alone will be more than one million taels." And as long as you become the owner of this place, whether the rent will rise or float, and how much it will increase, is not the owner's decision? In less than ten years, the lord of this slender West Lake will definitely be able to become a rich and rival country, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the richest man in Chang'an, Liang Million, will not be enough to see. Hehe, what a lucrative deal. Fortunately, this Slender West Lake has not been purchased from the government, and the news of this sale has not leaked out, so everyone has a chance. ”

After finishing speaking, Cui Yiqi glanced at Guo Ye meaningfully, as if hinting at something.

"No buyers yet?"

Guo Ye swallowed his saliva, deliberately made a cooing sound, smacked his lips a few times, and cautiously asked Cui Yiqi: "Cui Dongjia, where did you get this news from, and is it reliable?" ”

"Hehe, Wu Dong's family is too worried, we also have friends in the official mansion, don't forget that our Qinghe Cui family is a famous family, an official family, how can there not be a half-friend in the official mansion?"

Cui Yiqi raised his head arrogantly and said, "And this news was obtained by Cui for five thousand taels of white flowers, how can it be fake?" ”

Guo Ye's eyes widened, he leaned over with interest, and asked in a low voice, "Cui Dongjia, can you get to the bottom of it, who is the person who gave you the news?" Could it be the history of Yangzhou's parents, Guo Tingshi? ”

Cui Yiqi shook his head with a mysterious smile, and said, "Don't say it, don't say it, five thousand taels of white silver, it's really distressing to me." But to be able to buy this news, it is not unjust to spend it at all. ”

Guo Ye saw this guy's dick, and secretly said in his heart, good you Chen Jitao, I let you play tricks, you even accepted Cui Yiqi's grandson's silver. Grandma, when Lao Tzu goes back, if you spit out the five thousand taels of silver, they will all be confiscated.

Of course, this is just Guo Ye's joke, if Cui Yiqi didn't spend the five thousand taels of silver, maybe this grandson really wouldn't believe in the reliability and authenticity of this news.

Well, people are usually cheap.

The plain news may be suspicious, but if you spend a lot of money to get the news, you will definitely believe it.

This is human inertia, and it is also the common disease of shrewd people.

Immediately, Guo Ye glanced at Cui Yiqi and asked, "Cui Dongjia, could it be that you deliberately take action to take this thin West Lake down?" ”

"Me?"

Cui Yiqi pointed to his nose in surprise, and then smiled: "Wu Dongjia, didn't you just say that the interests are evenly distributed, and it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone is the king's way?" If Cui wants to eat this solitary food, how can he tell you the news of this pie in the sky? ”

Guo Ye was amused in his heart, but his face still showed a greedy look, and he asked excitedly: "Could it be that Cui Dong's family wants to pull Wu into the gang?" This is a bit interesting, but it's a pity that Wu has a small family, and the trading of millions of taels of silver at every turn is afraid that some people have more than enough power Wow! ”

Cui Yiqi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Wu Dongjia, I have an idea, you listen to me first and then make a decision." ”

"Okay, Wu listens, Cui Dongjia, please speak!"

As everyone knows, after Guo Ye said this, the corners of his mouth were full of pride, and his eyebrows were a little narrower, looking at Cui Yiqi's eyes was like Grandma Wolf looking very stupid and naïve Little Red Riding Hood.
