Chapter 397: Preparation (7)

Although the face of Baiyun Villa and Tiannumen is big, he doesn't believe that it is so big that so many heroes from the rivers and lakes come to attend the wedding. You must know that what is coming is not an ordinary cat and dog, a little trick to eat mixed rice, but the hero of one party, the real martial arts player.

Even the Taoist chief of Wudang Mountain rushed over from Hubei to attend the wedding banquet. They didn't look at the face of the Cao Gang or the majesty of the Tiannumen, but they came from Wudang Mountain, not a few young heroes. No matter how high the charm of the purple orchid is, it can't affect them.

This wedding is not so much the bride of Liu Chaozona, but the cake-sharing activity in which half of the martial arts participates. There is a faction in the martial arts, and the faction first talks about money. The strength of each sect depends on the amount of land they have.

In addition to the fields, the most important thing is cash. Whoever has more money in their hands will be able to hire more killer swordsmen. The heroes of each sect are all strongmen who can expand their land and increase their income for their own sects, so they naturally have to think of more income-generating means to make profits for their sects.

The reputation of the East India Company was known through Qin Yunjie's propaganda, and its influence on the rivers and lakes became more and more significant. Hua Xixiang's chivalrous young women also actively created momentum, so that these famous factions became more and more interested in the East India Company.

Their information is no better than that of the officialdom, and they only know that the East India Company has traveled overseas, and it is said that they have occupied the mineral deposits in the east and west, and the gold and silver seas. Every year, there are countless profits, and the pearls at home are like gold and iron. Even all the big people are all shareholders in this company, and I heard that just to marry Zhang Ruolan, this old man Liu took a dowry of hundreds of thousands of silver at a time.

In the past, they wanted to tie up with Liu Chaozuo, but they couldn't find a suitable opportunity. This wedding. It was considered that they were given a chance to make friends with Liu Chaozuo and Master Liu, and these people rushed over to give gifts and drink wine. There are not many opportunities for this great wealth. Like the East India Company. It's a gold mine that hasn't been mined yet, and who can let it go?

But attending a banquet is only the first step. Everyone is an important corner in the rivers and lakes, but it is only a key corner in the rivers and lakes. is a disparity between the status of a five-grade member of the imperial court, and the Guangdong military is a little different.

Don't look at the delicious food on the table, but no one has the heart to move the chopsticks. Everyone's eyes were spinning, looking for a bridge that could connect them and Liu Chaozuo. But this bridge soon appeared.

"This official is the new county magistrate of Xiangshan County, Bai Siwen, who once served as the county magistrate of Zhaotong County, Yunnan, and is the sworn brother of Master Liu. When he sees me, he will call me brother. I have a friendship with you Jianghu people. The Five Poisons Sect knows, when their sect leader sees me, they will also call Master Bai. Haha, let me tell you, the taste of those Miao girls...... Don't look at my age, I'm amazing, let those Miao girls scream and beg for mercy...... By the way, I heard that you Jianghu people have pure medicine with you, and there is no use for men. Sell me a little. ”

This Bai Siwen doesn't look like he is over half a hundred years old, he is energetic, agile, and maneuvers between the tables. Toasting back and forth, the table xiàn is ten of the four seas. Seeing that this person was Master Liu's sworn brother, Qunxiong was also very polite to him. I don't know how many of the secret iron gun pills, Xiongfeng San and other medicines have been sent.

This Bai Siwen is also easy to speak, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Don't you just want to take a stake in the East India Company, so it's easy to manage. I'm a matter of words. What the? No money. It doesn't matter if you don't have money, just have someone. In your sect, there are children who know how to martial arts, and now the imperial court is using force in Guangdong, and it is the time to use people, since there are so many young and strong children who practice martial arts in your faction, it is better to send them to the army. With a knife and a gun, I have a good future, and I may be able to get an official position in the future. Besides, isn't the salary of these people your investment? ”

The young and strong children of each faction are the strong workers and excellent thugs of each faction. Whether it is collecting rent, collecting debts, or grabbing water and land, the major factions rely on these people to be the vanguard of urgency, and they will not give it away.

Besides, there are many disciples in the big factions, but those who can be pulled out to do hard fights are very limited. The pillar of the righteous path of Shaolin Temple is only a few hundred capable and hard disciples, which is enough to be proud of martial arts. In most sects, the number of disciples who are capable of hard frame will not exceed double digits. This is also the reason why there will be no more than 100 casualties in a catastrophe in the martial arts.

This time I am going to fight, not to fight, and those who want to be sent must be the core disciples who are brave and capable of fighting hard, and if they don't do well, they will die. The apprentices who can work hard for the sect are all the treasures of each faction, and they are not even willing to give one of them, let alone give more?

The soldiers are in danger of fighting, and in case they die, who will pay for the funeral and burning, and who will pay for the soup and medicine if they are injured, these are all problems. Seeing that these people were all silent, Bai Siwen took a bite of food

"I said, you guys, why are you all so bad at all? These disciples have made meritorious contributions, but it is your sect that has benefited. When the time comes, I will say a word in front of my brother and get you an official body, it's not impossible. Besides, marching and fighting, not all soldiers are soldiers. You can't send out soldiers, you can't send auxiliaries, you can't send auxiliaries, can't you send out masters? ”

As soon as he said this, the looks on the faces of these martial arts bosses were beautiful. That's right, I can't produce a capable child, and I can't produce a master? There are not many disciples of this life, but there are disciples who are coolies, and there are disciples of all factions. Those disciples eat and drink for nothing, how can they not pay for labor?

They work as coolies everywhere, and here they do it in the barracks, it makes no difference. And the military salaries that should be paid to them can be converted into their own shares, which is indeed a good thing. As for the living standards of the masters in the official army and whether the labor intensity is high, what does this have to do with the head of the house, who cares?

"In this way, if Master Lao Bai has a few more kind words in front of Master Liu, we will definitely be indispensable to your benefits. But if those masters are lucky enough to get any credit on the battlefield, their reward should be given to us, and not to be in their hands. These people are extravagant, and the money they get will be spent when they turn around, and they will suffer in old age. I'll have to save it for them. Our Kunlun faction has to send at least fifty masters this time, and by the way, we have some broken stones in our hands, which are useless, and we want to give them to Master Liu, and I hope that Master Bai will give you a tie. ”

"Our Blood Knife Alliance has sent out thirty soldiers and two hundred masters."

"We ......"

Bai Siwen saw these people enthusiastically reporting the number, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: It seems that from these Jianghu people, half a battalion of masters can be made. Since the old brother said that this battle must be fought by the master, I will prepare more masters for him first. I can hold this Xiangshan County seal, and I won't be able to run the seal of Guangzhou Mansion in the future. As for the benefits, my white master can do without it. As long as there is a woman to warm the quilt.

Several Taoist masters from Wudang are all heads of their respective Taoist temples, and they have special identities, but they disdain to participate in this kind of thing. The Wudang faction will not let their men be masters, they want to be guards. But when he looked around, he didn't see a single acquaintance who should have appeared here, and he hurriedly asked: "If you want to say that there are many disciples and strong combat power." I still have to push Shaolin, but I don't know where the abbot of Shaolin's Zhiguang is now? (To be continued!)
