Chapter 68: Borrowing Money

More than a dozen people in green shirts and linen robes stared at Xue Weihai and the five people.

The man in green shirt led by him looked like a roe deer, with a pair of eyes that were slippery, he looked at Xue Weihai, frowned, and then stretched out his hand to block the way of Xue Weihai and several people.

"What the hell!" The little leader of the roe head rat glared at Xue Weihai.

With Zhou Ce by his side, Xue Weihai was naturally not afraid, he was expressionless, and said coldly: "Buy tea." ”

"Buying tea? I think it looks like a murderer! You still have weapons with you when you buy tea! The little leader stared at Xue Weihai and looked up and down, "Have you seen my second brother nearby, Peng Zhi, a short and fat man?" ”

Xue Weihai flicked his sleeves, "No!" Let's go. ”

After speaking, Xue Weihai strode towards the tea garden.

The little leader was about to make a move to block it, but Zhou Ce behind him grabbed it in one step and grabbed the little leader's wrist, "Get out!" ”

Zhou Ce scolded coldly.

The little leader shrank his neck in fright, but he didn't dare to speak out, he was usually a bully and afraid of the hard, this time he met Zhou Ce, and was scolded by Zhou Ce, and he was a little frightened.

Xue Weihai and a few people left.

The little leader of the roe head rat hesitated for a few moments, and then shouted in a low voice, "Go!" See Big Brother Go! ”

When he arrived at the tea garden, Xue Weihai met Song Kai.

Song Kaizheng was discussing something with Nie Ling, Ji Rufeng, and Ge Shou.

"Haha! Is there any problem," Xue Wei sat opposite Song Kai with a smile, "I need the old man to make a move, just ask." ”

Song Kai looked at Xue Weihai and always felt that this person was smiling very fakely.

Ge Shou didn't notice Xue Weihai's smile, he smiled with relief, and said, "With Xue Lao, I believe that the matter will be solved." ”

Xue Weihai knocked on the table and said, "Let's say, it's all my own people, what's the matter." ”

Ge Shou told the death of Peng Zhi, the second leader of the Taihu Gang, in detail.

After hearing this, Xue Weihai frowned in embarrassment, "Taihu Gang? Peng Zhi, the second leader of the Taihu Gang, and the current Taihu Gang helping Shi Haopeng, that is a fateful friendship. ”

Zhou Ce, who was standing beside Xue Weihai, spoke: "It is said that Shi Haopeng is Peng Zhi's illegitimate son, and the death of the old gang leader and Shi Haopeng's succession have a lot to do with Peng Zhi. ”

The crowd was dumbfounded.

Xue Weihai took a quilt for himself, added a cup of tea, and said: "Peng Zhi is dead, Shi Haopeng will definitely avenge Peng Zhi at any cost." By the way, I saw that someone checked it just now, what was the result? ”

Hearing Xue Weihai's words, Song Kai and Nie Lingdang were fine, Ge Shou's old face was already red with nervousness, "We naturally didn't admit it when we checked just now, but it can be seen that now the entire Taihu Gang has begun to track down Peng Zhi's whereabouts, I don't know how long I can hide it." ”

"I see...... Difficult! It's best to leave tonight, and within a day, the people of the Taihu Gang will definitely find out about you," Xue Weihai shook his head and sighed.

"That'...... Xue Lao wants to help us, the old man knows that Xue Lao is in a high position in Suzhou City, and there must be a way, right? Ge Shou begged with a smiling face.

"I'm too busy...... It can also help, but ...... It's a big price," Xue Weihai sighed and looked at Song Kai.

Song Kai pursed his lips, "Okay, Xue Lao, if you have any conditions, just open it, but I can explain in advance, don't let the conditions be too much, do you know that now you and I are grasshoppers on a rope." ”

Xue Weihai smiled, stood up, and said, "That's ...... Let's talk about it in detail? ”

"Okay, please, Qingniang, you go make a pot of tea again, and Xue Lao and I will go to my house to talk about something," Song Kai also stood up.

The two of them tacitly walked to Song Kai's room.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do? As soon as you walked in and smiled at me, I knew it was going to be fine! When he arrived at his room, Song Kai sat down, looked at Xue Weihai, and muttered.

Xue Weihai laughed, and then sighed lightly, "I also have no choice, I can't hide it, and the finances are tight." ”

"Financially strained?" Song Kai looked at this old man who fished and drank tea all day in surprise, he now knew that Xue Weihai was a thorn history, what was the history of thorns, that was the boss of Suzhou City, the economy of Suzhou City was definitely among the best, how could it be financially tight?

Xue Weihai didn't pretend, his face was serious, he nodded, and just as he was about to speak, the young lady walked in with a teapot and poured tea for Xue Lao.

Xue Weihai stopped talking.

Song Kai smiled and said: "Although Xue Lao said it, this is my maid, Qingniang." ”

Xue Weihai laughed, still shaking his head.

Qingniang was interested, and after pouring a glass of water for Song Kai, she said, "Langjun, I'm out." ”

After saying that, he left.

Xue Weihai stared at the figure of the green lady, shook his head and smiled: "You, you are really a blessed person, I have seen this young lady a few times, although she was born in the countryside, she is smart and tight, she is a very spiritual girl, but she is beautiful." ”

Song Kai waved his hand, "Hurry up and get down to business." ”

"Well, in fact, there is nothing strange about it, you also know that now the entire Jiangnan Province is Yang Jian's, Yang Jian has 150,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and there are thirteen subordinate prefectures and cities, although he is still the Jiangnan Provincial Observer and the minister of the imperial court, but now he has long ignored the imperial court decrees. Do you know why Yang Jian would let me, an outsider, manage Suzhou City? In addition to the fact that this is a court decree and I am famous, more importantly, I pay the most taxes every year. ”

Xue Weihai drank water and shook his head slightly, his expression a little painful.

"Although Yang Jian is suspicious and not bold enough, but he is very smart, he knows very well that if he controls the military power and finances, he controls everything, I will hand over all the taxes in Suzhou City, and even more, he naturally understands that I am not greedy for money, and if I don't have money, I will not be able to do things that plot chaos, and because of this, he is relieved to let me be a thorn."

Song Kai understood, "What does Elder Xue mean is that you have the funds to train the dead...... It's just money, is it insufficient? ”

Xue Weihai nodded, "The cost of a dead soldier a day needs at least one hundred wen, three thousand dead soldiers, three hundred yuan a day, in the past, it was the imperial court that secretly allocated money for me and Zhou Ce to train the dead soldiers, but now, the imperial court has no money left, but now I can't do it, let alone give up this plan, so I need money very much, and besides, I don't know how long this hole will have to be filled." ”

Song Kai drank a glass of water, thought about it, and said: "Presumably Xue Lao must know that in the past, the military system of the Tang Dynasty was the government military system, and soldiers were allowed to farm in peacetime, and soldiers were recruited in wartime......

Xue Weihai waved his hand, "I know what you mean, Song Lang, you want me to use these three thousand dead soldiers to make money and support myself, right." ”

Song Kai nodded, in fact, this is also the best practice, many funds and charity funds in later generations are actually used to expand their own money, such as the Nobel Prize, the prize money has long been insufficient, but investors put the Nobel prize money into various fields, and make money with money, which made the Nobel Prize survive.

"But it's not that easy," Xue Weihai sighed, "Three thousand, or three thousand people who can't be discovered, what can they do?" Darts? Cultivated land? Vaudeville? If it were a gang, it would be easy, but in that case, there would be no possibility for these 3,000 people to hide. ”

Song Kai understood that after all, business was underdeveloped in this era, and there were not as many investment opportunities as in later generations.

After thinking about it carefully, Song Kai laughed, "Elder Xue wants to ask me to borrow money?" Or is it a borrowed method? ”

"Haha, if you can borrow money, it will naturally be excellent, my old man, I don't want to worry about firewood, rice, oil and salt all day long......" Xue Weihai was cheeky and smiled, "Song Lang, don't worry, as long as you lend me money, when the government is stable, I will definitely double it...... No, four times the restitution. ”

Song Kaibai glanced at Xue Weihai, he didn't expect this old guy to allow such a blank check, he is an ordinary businessman, even if he defaults on his debts, he will have nowhere to reason.

"Old Xue, I need to think about this matter, but what I want to explain is that if you want to make money, you must not rely on myself, I need to use your dead soldiers, but I can guarantee that I will never let the identities of these people be exposed, let alone let them be detected by Yang Jian, of course, I will not let them burn and loot, haha!" Song Kai laughed.

Xue Weihai breathed a sigh of relief, slapped the table, and said: "It's so decided, I knew it was so easy, I didn't have to think too much about it when I came, I thought of three coping strategies, but they didn't work, so you agreed." ”

"You are such a villain," Song Kai pretended to be aggrieved, "Could it be that I am so cunning in your heart Xue Lao?" ”

"Haha, how can there be, it's just a little selfish," Xue Weihai smiled, "Okay, you can discuss the follow-up matters with Zhou Duwei, as for the Taihu Gang, you and Zhou Duwei discuss it, but the money for raising soldiers must be prepared quickly, and by January at the latest, the savings on my side will be exhausted." Xue Weihai said the back with a serious expression.

"Okay, don't worry, by the way, when will I be able to go back to the city?" Song Kai asked.

"Tomorrow will be fine, Suzhou City has been settled, he is a reckless man, his kung fu is on par with Zhou Duwei, but his brain is not very good, the biggest advantage is loyalty, speaking of which, this matter is still Song Lang's credit, if you didn't kill Yang Rongguang, I wouldn't be completely relaxed now." Xue Weihai drank water and stared at Song Kai with his eyes, "But don't expect me to treat you for the time being, when the government recovers, I will give you a ......"

"Stop!" Song Kai asked Xue Weihai to stop talking, "Don't talk about it, whether you can keep Datang or not, it's really not necessarily." ”

"You ......" Xue Weihai stood up, "Your words are the crime of killing your head, but ...... That's it, do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, old man, I won't regret it. ”

After speaking, Xue Weihai walked out of the room, and then left with three guards, leaving only Zhou Ce in the tea garden to discuss the Taihu Gang with Song Kai.

With Zhou Ce's help, Song Kai knew that all the crises had finally passed......
