Chapter 707: Use money to make the old enemy sing conquest
Tokai country.
The Prime Minister's Office forcibly collected next year's taxes in advance, which made the people of Donghai very dissatisfied, and as soon as the follow-up tax increase order came out, the people's dissatisfaction quickly escalated into anger, and the NPC's evaluation of the thirteen young people on Temple Street instantly fell to the bottom. The big guys all know that the thirteen young people in Temple Street spent money to become the prime minister of the East China Sea, and it is said that they also borrowed a lot of debts, and they bought official beards and then searched in the local area, this routine is not unfamiliar to everyone, but they are still angry when it falls on their heads.
By the sea, several fishing boats return to their homes in the setting sun, and acquaintances greet each other.
"Third uncle, how is the harvest today?" A young fisherman greeted him warmly.
The middle-aged man known as the third uncle said with a smile: "Fish, shrimp, turtles and crabs are added together, and there should be forty or fifty catties." ”
"Scared! You've learned a lot. ”
"So-so, what about your boat?"
"Less than 30 catties, after landing, the catch was exchanged for money, and there was not much left after paying the ship tax." The young fisherman was displeased, and said helplessly: "It's only been April or May, and the government has forcibly collected next year's tax, and has set up a clever project to increase the tax. ”
The middle-aged man sighed in his heart, his catch today is quite good, there is still some left after paying the boat tax, it is not a problem to feed the family, but the catch of the young man on the opposite boat is not enough, paying the tax is equivalent to doing it in vain, and he can't help it. Even the middle-aged man himself may not be able to achieve a good harvest every time, and he also needs to face severe survival pressure.
"Let's think about the good thing, after paying the ship tax, the sailor has the responsibility to protect us." The middle-aged man explained.
"What is the boat robbed and the Prime Minister's Office is responsible for coming out and compensating, pirates rarely rob and hurt fishermen, and if they encounter something unparticular at sea, they will pass the customs if they give some catch, why do we need the government to protect them? Then there is the sea is prone to wind and waves, and the wind and waves are together, and the sailors are too busy to take care of themselves, who can they protect? If it's not the fish leader and the sailor, I don't think they can beat the pirates, they are clearly just making money in the name of a name! "The youth was indignant.
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "Who said it wasn't? I still want to open up, this world can't help us. ”
As he spoke, the fishing boat docked.
The middle-aged man grabbed two big fish from the cabin and stepped on the sea water to the young boat.
"Third uncle, who are you?" The young man was stopping the boat, and turned his head to ask.
"Your daughter-in-law has a big belly, uncle, take these two fish, take them to make up for your daughter-in-law's body." The middle-aged man couldn't help but say, pulled open the lid of the fish cabin, threw the two fish in, closed the hatch and didn't leave.
The young fisherman looked at the back of the third uncle and was speechless for a long time. He knew that the third uncle was kind-hearted, but he didn't want to accept gifts from others, which would cause him to feel that he was unable to support his family, but the situation at home could not be willful, so he could only keep this love in his heart first, and then have the opportunity to repay it later. The young man's anger at the government was even more, if it wasn't for the tax hike, why would he be like this?
"The government is not benevolent, the government is not benevolent!"
A small and inconspicuous boat docked on the shore of the territorial waters of the Abundance.
Two dark-skinned men with messy beards disembarked from the boat, looked around vigilantly, and found nothing unusual, so they mixed in the crowd and entered the city of abundance, and finally entered the lord's office.
"Your Excellency sent someone to inform me to come over, but there is a deal to take care of?"
Su Li smiled casually: "Leader Hu is quick to talk, there is indeed a business, it depends on whether you dare to take it." ”
The Hu leader in Su Li's mouth is Hu Yu, the leader of the East China Sea pirates who appeared in the plot of the summer of pirates. In the third stage of the plot, Hu Yu once issued a task to Su Li, asking Su Li to take the lead in organizing a sailor to help the East China Sea pirates recover the pirate islands occupied by the pirates, and the two got acquainted.
At that time, Su Li was feeling a headache because the two sea-affiliated territories were attacked, and his own sailors did not give any strength, so he came up with the idea of befriending the pirate forces, one was to avoid the territory being invaded by pirates, and the other was hoping that when something happened, he could ask the pirates to help him retreat from the enemy. Su Li is a well-known rich player in the game, and with his intentions, he is even more generous, and he easily smashes Hu Yu's favorability. Hu Yu not only promised that the East China Sea pirates would never be enemies of Fengchan Ling, but also made an appointment with the contact information in case of an emergency to see if everyone had the opportunity to cooperate again in the future.
Hu Yu said unhappily: "There is no job in the East China Sea that I Hu Yu dare not take!" ”
"Of course I know this, but the business I said today is not in the East China Sea, but in the Yellow Sea."
"The Yellow Sea?" Hu Yu's face sank, he was the leader of the pirates in the East China Sea, and the Yellow Sea was not his territory.
He and Guo Zu, the leader of the Yellow Sea pirates, have known each other for a long time, although they are like enemies, but everyone does not interfere with the river water, and each guards his own one-acre and three-point land, and does not easily cross the line, and the relationship is quite good. But friendship is friendship, and when it comes to the major issue of cross-border business grabbing, that friendship is not enough.
"It's the Yellow Sea, can you take it?" Su Li said with a smile.
"No, you can't. Transited, unruly. Hu Yu shook his head and said.
"Don't do big business?"
Hu Yu's eyes were a little struggling, he had seen Su Li's style of spending money, since Su Li said that it was a big business, it must be very interesting, whether to resolutely push away the good deal he found made him very hesitant. After a moment of silence, Hu Yu took a deep breath and said, "Lord Lord, let's talk about the situation first, and I'll see if I can take it." ”
"I want to hire you to go to the waters of the East China Sea to grab fishing boats."
"Fishing boats?" Hu Yuleng froze.
Su Li asked him if he dared just now, Hu Yu subconsciously thought that the idea must be more stingy, and he was afraid that he would have to fight, but he didn't expect Su Li to just want to ask them to grab the fishing boat. Hu Yu was very angry, for the pirates, robbing fishing boats is a subordinate move, and robbing is also robbing merchant ships, what is a fisherman who robs hard haha? What's even more excessive is that Su Li also asked him if he dared, he looked down on people too much!
We're pirates!
Pirates in the East China Sea, when did people look down on them so lightly?
"Donghai Xiang has an enmity with me," Su Li didn't care about Hu Yu's ugly face, the friendship smashed with money should be able to withstand this level of offense, and explained with a smile: "Last time I led my troops to participate in the crusade against Dong Zhuo, the thirteen young men of Temple Street bullied me that there was no sailor at that time, and for no reason he led his sailor to the south to attack me, so that I couldn't even do the right thing, and I was bullied enough by his sailor, I couldn't swallow this breath." ”
"I see, but what does this have to do with us robbing fishermen?"
Hu Yu's face was a little gloomy, and he had revenge, which was very in line with the values and style of the pirates.
"Does Leader Hu know about the East China Sea Kingdom's early levy of next year's taxes and the addition of new taxes?"
"I don't know." Hu Yu shook his head honestly.
Pirates mostly live on the sea and islands, and the taxes paid by the imperial court are very distant to them. In addition, although the East China Sea is named after the "East China Sea", the southern boundary line of the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea is the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the area near the sea of the East China Sea is Haizhou Bay and Lianyungang, which is actually located in the Yellow Sea. In the summer of pirates plot, it was the Yellow Sea pirate Guo Zu who issued a mission to the non-fish leader, not the East China Sea pirate Hu Yu. Since the territory is not boundary, there is no need for the East China Sea pirates to deliberately understand the policies of the foreign county and government.
"Donghai Kingdom has recently made the people angry and resentful, because the thirteen young people in Temple Street need to raise money to pay off their debts. The East China Sea has a new ship tax, and every time a fisherman goes out to sea to fish, regardless of the harvest, he needs to pay a tax to the government, saying that the fishermen were robbed at sea, and the East China Sea Congress is responsible for compensation, and sends sailors to exterminate it. The Prime Minister of the East China Sea knew that the pirates would not rob the fishermen, but they used this as a pretext to levy taxes on everyone, which is hateful and shameful! ”
"These are none of my business, but that guy used to take action against my bumper crop, and I want to simply take this opportunity to demolish his platform and teach corrupt officials a lesson by the way. When he levied the boat tax, he claimed that he would compensate the fishermen for their losses according to the price, so I gave him this opportunity! How about you go and rob me, and how much fish you have snatched, all of which will be your spoils, and how about I pay you the same value as the fish? ”
Hu Yu's eyes widened: "Is this true?" ”
"Seriously."
"How long will it take us to do it?"
"Let's do it for three months first, and then consider whether to postpone it as appropriate, and it may be as long as half a year."
Su Li calculated very clearly, half a year later, it happened to be the time for Feiyuling to repay the crowdfunding, and it was not a joke to guarantee the unlimited guarantee of the territory, beyond that period, it is estimated that the thirteen young people in Temple Street will stop the new tax, and it will not make much sense to stir it up. Su Li's goal is very clear, that is, not to let the thirteen young people in Temple Street live a better life, if there is more money than money, there are few territories that can compete with the harvest leader, at least the non-fish leader is definitely not qualified, Su Li just wants to hurt people with this, and use money to make the old enemy sing to conquer.
It would cost a lot of money to do so, but Su Li didn't care.
If the plan can be carried out smoothly, he will have at most some blood, but the thirteen young people on Temple Street will lose at least half of his life.
The battle intent in Hu Yu's chest began to surge: "How large is the East China Sea Division?" ”
"Where is there any East China Sea Master, he uses non-fish water masters to fill the number."
"I'll take the job!" Hu Yu resolutely responded.
There is no risk in robbing fishermen, the catch of fish goes to pirates, and the harvest is returned to the discounted payment, where can I find such a good thing? On the other hand, most of the pirates are actually poor people who can't survive before they take risks, because they are usually unwilling to rob the fishermen who are also at the bottom, but the East China Sea State has to take responsibility for the collection of ship taxes, and the fishermen are robbed, if the Prime Minister's Office dares not to compensate the fishermen for their losses, it is impossible to say in any case, since the fishermen's losses are compensated by the East China Sea State, Hu Yu does not even have to consider moral responsibility, and he does not rob in vain!
The two sides soon signed an agreement to keep their own statistics on how much fish they have seized, and there is no possibility of error.
Even if the Yellow Sea pirates release the fish as soon as they grab the fish, the results will be recorded truthfully, and there will be a lot of one or two.
When leaving the city lord's office, Hu Yu secretly reminded himself.
Don't make a feud with the Lord of Abundance!
For the sake of a little old grudge back then, he did not hesitate to collude with pirates, and he did not hesitate to spend his blood to plot against his opponent, such a person is too terrible to provoke!
You can only be a friend, not an enemy!
Su Li in the city lord's office didn't know what Hu Yu was thinking at this time, and even if he knew, he wouldn't mind. However, objectively speaking, Su Li did not just want to take a breath this time, but had another purpose.
Of the 80 million crowdfunding funds from Non-Fish Collar, 20 million of them came from Fengsan Collar.
In other words, Su Li is the largest shareholder.
According to the crowdfunding rules in the game, if the non-fish cannot pay off the arrears after the time, and the debt needs to be paid off with territorial assets or talents, the harvest leader will have the first choice. The most valuable asset of the non-fish collar is Yan Gan, a historical figure of Yan Gan's level is an irreplaceable and valuable resource, and Su Li wants it very much.
It's fun to have the chance to poach historical figures from other players!
If it's the enemy who gets poached, that's even better!
So, seeing that the thirteen young people on Temple Street were desperately raising money to repay their debts, Su Li felt uncomfortable all over. The thirteen young men of Temple Street collected next year's tax in advance in the East China Sea, and Su Li had no way to interfere, but then the Prime Minister's Mansion of the East China Sea, which was in charge of Yan Ji, introduced a new tax, especially when he saw the explanation of the ship tax, Su Li knew that his opportunity had come.
The introduction of the new tax shows that the funding gap for non-fish collars is even bigger than he thought.
As long as the non-fish leader can't raise money smoothly, Su Li thinks that he has a good chance of winning Yan Ji.
Fengchan Ling has set up a water division, but this kind of thing can't be done by his own water division, once the East Window incident happens, the consequences are likely to be unimaginably serious, not only the government will investigate it, but his reputation will be so bad that it can't be repeated. Fortunately, Su Li knows pirates, robbery is the daily life of pirates, and it is very suitable to hire pirates to pull the hind legs of non-fish collars!
Su Li whispered softly: "Temple Street Thirteen Youth, you wait for me......"
Walking out of Fengchan City, the pirates who were walking with Hu Yu couldn't help but say, "Chief, we really want to go to the Yellow Sea?" ”
"Go."
"But that's Leader Guo's territory, we weren't suitable in the past, right? It's okay to cross the line once in a while, and it's okay to say that it's over with just one eye closed, and Leader Guo must not be so serious, but just now Su Li said that he would hire us for three months, and if we kill it like this, the two families will definitely fight. ”
"Rush? No, it won't. ”
A smile tugged at the corner of Hu Yu's mouth.
"We can't swallow this deal alone, and we can't swallow it if we want to, I will discuss with Leader Guo to share it. This deal is accepted by us, if Leader Guo does not agree, he will not be able to do this deal by himself; On the other hand, the waters of the East China Sea are the territory of the Yellow Sea pirates, and it is not in accordance with the rules for us to cross the border to do business, so we must give them some points. If you cooperate, you will benefit both, and if you divide it, you will lose both, I think Guo Tou will agree. ”
Fellow pirates realized: "The leader is clever! ”
Hu Yu guessed correctly.
After Guo Zu learned of Hu Yu's plan, he agreed to cooperate with the two without thinking about it, but he only talked about the sharing ratio, and it took a lot of saliva to reach an agreement: the East China Sea pirates were responsible for looting in the waters of the East China Sea, and the caught fish was handed over to the Yellow Sea pirates to sell the stolen goods, and the proceeds of the catch were divided equally between the two families.
Guo Zu is very satisfied with this cooperation.
It was Hu Yu who did it, he just sold the stolen goods, and he could earn half of the loot while lying down, which felt very cool.
Hu Yu was also very satisfied.
Half of the spoils were given to Guo Zu, and he could still get a reward in the harvest when he turned around, and he actually earned seventy-fifty percent.
The agreement was reached, and the two leaders were in a good mood and talked about it.
"I remember that you have cooperated with non-fish leaders, after you do it, is it possible to negotiate with you?" Hu Yudao.
"Well, I'm a little confused."
Guo Zu scratched his scalp: "That's it, I'll take shelter outside, and leave some people to be responsible for selling the stolen goods." ”
"Well, that's all it takes!"
"Happy working together!"
