Qin Baichuan also wanted to further set up a relationship with Li Desheng in the name of Lu Shigao, but the latter obviously made a decision and did not give Qin Baichuan a chance to speak at all: "I have heard for a long time that Minister Qin has a set of business methods, and this time he came to Qunfangtang just to drink tea and chat with me, so the old man happened to encounter a difficult matter and wanted to hear Minister Qin's opinion." ”

"Oh?" Qin Baichuan said with a smile: "What can be done to get a rare place to live in Desheng Gong?" ”

"Minister Qin don't want to say these nonsense, it's actually difficult to live up to his reputation, Li Mou's life loves calligraphy and painting beauties, if it weren't for the brothers in China all these years, I wouldn't be able to go today." Li Desheng handed over a map on the table to the little guy behind him, who hung it on the opposite side, pointed to the map and said, "Minister Qin, please take a look...... Anyang and the surrounding coast belong to the category of the coastal army, and under the management of the brothers over the years, the south intersects with the Qiushan army, and bypassing the coast is the territory of Heihu Mountain. ”

Qin Baichuan glanced at the map, which has been clearly marked with a brush Qiushan Army, Heihu Mountain's three major spheres of influence, from the location of the map alone, the Qiushan Army occupies Jiangling is the economic center of Dasong, the coastal army occupies the convenience of shipping, Heihu Mountain sits on the rolling dozens of miles of mountains and forests, each with its own characteristics.

"Since the beginning of this summer, the imperial court has issued many decrees prohibiting private ship transactions, and the business of our coastal army has been affected, and some of the goods we have transported overseas have come from Jiangling and some from Heihushan." Li Desheng explained, Qin Baichuan also nodded, Jiangling is rich in farming tools, and Heihushan produces coal, these three parties can barely be regarded as an industrial chain.

"About the month ago, Liu Yuanyuan of the Qiushan Army and the big boss of Heihu Mountain were assassinated by unknown figures, but I, Li, am the only one who is as stable as Mount Tai here. After the incident, I immediately sent someone to clarify the misunderstanding, and the Qiushan army was fine, but Heihushan decided that those assassins were sent by our coastal army. Li Desheng's eyes were gloomy, and he snorted coldly.

"Some people want to kill people with knives and provoke contradictions between the two sides." The batch of finger killers that Li Desheng said should be monkeys and others, Qin Baichuan said very firmly.

"Minister Qin has seen it thoroughly." Li Desheng narrowed his eyes: "But whether it is to kill people with a knife or deliberately sow discord, Black Tiger Mountain has reduced its trade with us since last month, and it has been completely interrupted this month." Judging from the impact of this incident, the purpose of the people behind this matter has been achieved. Minister Qin, what is your opinion on this matter? ”

"Although I haven't seen the big boss of Black Tiger Mountain, I can't be as famous as Miss Liu and Desheng Gong, and I guess I am not an idle person. If you are not an idle person, you should be able to see that someone is deliberately playing tricks, but if the big boss of Black Tiger Mountain insists that it is a killer sent by Desheng Gong, then there are only two possibilities for this matter. Qin Baichuan's analysis is in place: "First, the big boss of Black Tiger Mountain has enough evidence to point to the coastal army; Second, there are even larger forces that promise greater benefits to Black Tiger Mountain, so he does not hesitate to make plans to tear his face with the coastal army. ”

"Huh?" Li Desheng was casually tempting Qin Baichuan, but he didn't expect that this guy would be able to dissect the problem clearly in just a few breaths.

"Shopping malls are like battlefields, intrigue is indispensable, and it just so happens that someone Qin also likes to play some intrigues." Qin Baichuan smiled modestly and gave a reasonable explanation.

"Don't hide it from Minister Qin, the New Year is approaching, this time of year is the best time for maritime business, but this year the brothers are all idle at home, how to break the deadlock, please teach me Minister Qin." Li Desheng hugged his fists.

"Desheng Gong has already planned, so why should I be ugly?" Qin Baichuan sneered, then shook his head and said, "But since Duke Desheng wants to hear it, then I'll talk about it." ”

"Please." Li Desheng put on a posture of deferential listening.

"The top priority is to solve the problem of going to sea and income for the coastal army in the month before the end of the year, and on the one hand, Desheng Gong can increase some investment in cooperation with the Qiushan army, and can also try to traffic in some businesses that have never been done before, such as ...... Flower. Qin Baichuan raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "On the other hand, it doesn't matter if you can't get the supply from Heihu Mountain, Desheng Gong can appropriately raise some purchase prices, gather wood and charcoal from the people, the cost will certainly increase, but it is better to earn than to be idle." Besides, those things produced in Heihu Mountain are not sold to the coastal army, so who does he sell them to, and where did those charcoal fires go? As long as the Duke of Desheng sends people to pay more attention, they can always find some clues. ”

"What can you do if you find the clues? Doing business is originally about your love and my willingness, whoever gives a higher price will cooperate with whom, can I still buy and sell? Li Desheng seemed to be a little helpless, and finally said: "Even if I have the heart to bully and dominate the market, but the Black Tiger Mountain is not a vegetarian, if the two sides go to war, the Qiushan army will fish in troubled waters, and finally the situation will be out of control." ”

"That's right...... Then I don't have much to say. Qin Baichuan shrugged his shoulders, what kind of morality do you want to talk about, this Li Desheng seems to be a little pedantic. But if you think about it carefully, it seems that every move of the coastal army and big forces such as Black Tiger Mountain will involve the eyes of the imperial court, and it seems that they really can't mess around.

"I just want to ask, if this incident happens in Splendid Villa, how will Minister Qin deal with it?" Li Desheng was a little dissatisfied with Qin Baichuan's attitude, and did he have something to say clearly for Mao?

"Whoever fuck you bastard, dare to make Lao Tzu uncomfortable and beat him." Qin Baichuan cocked Erlang's legs and said angrily.

Foul language in front of Duke Desheng, this is a bit taboo, Luo Yuan hurriedly stood up and saluted deeply to Duke Desheng: "Duke Desheng, Minister Qin is this kind of character, he has no words, you have a lot of adults, don't be like him." ”

"Luo Guan doesn't have to worry about things, Desheng Gong just likes this kind of refreshing character." Li Desheng didn't say anything, but Li Mingxiu smiled and waved his hand, signaling Luo Yuan to be calm and not impatient, and asked Qin Baichuan again: "Brother Qin, the Black Tiger Mountain is powerful, if there are other forces behind it, to put it mildly, once the war starts, the coastal army seems to have no chance of winning." ”

"I'm just looking at this issue from the perspective of the Splendid Villa, if the coastal army puts pressure on the Splendid Villa, then I will sue the owner of the village, if you can fight it, you have to fight if you can't fight it." Qin Baichuan raised his head proudly: "For Splendid Villa, the coastal army is a behemoth, a wolf, and a tiger, but even if someone in Qin is just a mad dog, he has to tear off a piece of meat from the tiger's leg." ”

"Mad dog tearing meat, okay, wine!" Qin Baichuan's last sentence seemed to speak to Li Desheng's heart, and Desheng Gong laughed and ordered someone to send a jar of wine. Li Mingxiu also shook his head with a secret smile on the side, and a slight smug flashed between his eyebrows.

"Glass!" The wine was placed on the table, and Li Desheng added.

"Congratulations, Brother Qin." After a while, the family held a cup similar to a glassware and enlarged the table, Li Mingxiu suddenly smiled again: "Only the distinguished guests personally invited by the Duke of Desheng can enter the Qunfang Hall, and the guests who can be entertained by the Duke of Desheng with fine wine are the guests whom the Duke of Desheng admires, and the use of the glass cup means that the Duke of Desheng has taken care of your friend." ”

"It's an honor." Qin Baichuan would not believe this kind of thing if he could take care of each other with a glass of wine, but Li Mingxiu said it seriously, and Ying Tiannan and the others were also stern, so he had to stand up flattered, and a full glass of wine poured down his throat.

"In recent days, due to the anti-water in Black Tiger Mountain, Mingxiu has persuaded me many times to ask for an explanation, but considering the morality of the rivers and lakes, I have never made up my mind." This matter has obviously not been bothering Li Desheng for a day or two, with a flickering battle intent between his eyebrows, Li Desheng snorted coldly: "I have recently heard rumors from many people in the gang, saying that I, Li Desheng, only care about beauties, and I have lost the blood of the year." Hmph, if it was back then, Lao Tzu would have taken three thousand armor soldiers to the gate of Black Tiger Mountain, but today, I think more about the lives and safety of my brothers. ”

"The righteous father is benevolent and righteous, and the brothers in the gang also understand, but Black Tiger Mountain deceives people too much." Li Mingxiu gritted his teeth: "I think Brother Qin is right, if you can fight, you must fight, but if you can't fight, you must fight, otherwise colleagues in the rivers and lakes will think that our coastal army is a tiger with teeth extracted, if it drags on, what is the prestige of the coastal army?" ”

Li Desheng glanced at Li Mingxiu meaningfully, and suddenly sighed: "Maybe the brothers in the gang are right, I am old, and I only have beauties in my eyes...... Forget it, Mingxiu, all the things in Black Tiger Mountain will be left to you to do, I don't ask about the process, as long as the result. ”

"Order!" Li Mingxiu has been waiting for this opportunity for too long, and his eyes are full of murder: "If you can't teach Black Tiger Mountain a lesson, Mingxiu is willing to come and see you!" ”

"The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves...... Today, in front of the two stewards of Splendid Villa, I announced in public that after this matter is over, I will give up my position as the leader of the coastal army. Li Desheng had a thick tiredness on his face.

"Desheng Gong, how can this be done?" Li Mingxiu was just about to speak, and a person suddenly stood up in the crowd: "The Anyang Coastal Army was established by the Li family, although you have children, but the young master is still young, and ...... Hey, how can he take on the heavy responsibility? ”

"If the rebel son can't make it, what do you want him to do?" Li Desheng waved his hand: "However, this is not to blame him, whether he raises it or not, his father's fault, it is okay not to mention this matter." When the matter with Black Tiger Mountain comes to fruition, I will hand over the seal ribbon of the gang leader and the coastal army token to the right person. ”

"Desheng Gong......" everyone has to say more.

"This matter has been decided, no need to say more!" Li Desheng waved his hand violently: "Everyone else will go down and order the kitchen to send dishes, and the old man will have a drink with Minister Qin!" ”

"Yes." The group of people hurriedly got up and retreated one by one.
