Chapter 31: Let the Moon Lake go
After this recruitment, plus the original small boss before, the number of small boss level under Bai Qi, that is, the number of strong people at the level of first-level martial artists has reached more than eighty.
Bai Qi selected more than forty strong men from these more than eighty small leaders to serve as the spearhead of the heavy cavalry team.
Bai Qi personally served as the leader of this heavy cavalry, with Xiao Tie as his lieutenant, and fought with them every day.
In the end, the remaining five hundred people, Bai Qi divided them among Barrian, Adrian, and the four new masters.
In Adrian's absence, her men were temporarily led by Barrian.
At first, the rebellious horse thieves looked down on the emaciated Barrian, but after seeing Barrian's powerful spells, they all became extremely respectful.
After preliminarily reorganizing his subordinates, Bai Qi, who felt that he was already strong, began to think about whether it was time to make the next plan.
On this day, Bai Qi stood alone in the gathering hall, stroking the chair of the big boss beside him with one hand, while staring at the map on the wall, falling into deep thought.
After a long time, he seemed to have made up some kind of determination, and said loudly, "Someone." ”
The horse thief who was on duty at the door of the gathering hall heard the sound and asked, "What do you command, big boss?" ”
Bai Qi said: "Go, Chi Lian Nu (Qin Qing) called." ”
"Yes!"
Soon, Qin Qing walked into the gathering hall and asked, "Captain, what's the matter?" ”
Bai Qi asked, "How's the tunnel dug?" ”
Qin Qing said: "You often pay attention to this matter, how dare I slack off, as long as we occupy this village, the tunnel will not stop for a day." I'm just left with the last paragraph, give me three more days. It's completely done. ”
Bai Qi said: "Okay, then give you another three days." This tunnel is very important, and there must be no mistakes. ”
"By the way, how about secrecy?"
Qin Qing said: "I arranged the slave labor in the grove, guarded by my cronies, and they all started working in the middle of the night, digging into the village from the outside, others didn't know what we were doing, and during this time the village was in full swing, and no one cared about a group of slave laborers." ”
"Still. There is still the last section of the tunnel left, and it is about to be dug into the stockade, so I am afraid it will be easier to expose. ”
Bai Qi said: "Okay, I know, I will cooperate with you." ”
After Qin Qing left, Bai Qi immediately gathered all the leaders and ordered everyone to lead the team to train in the desert for three days, and for a while, the entire village became an empty city.
Two days later. Qin Qing reported that the tunnels had been dug all right, and the tunnel entrances had been camouflaged seamlessly, and Bai Qi immediately ordered her to take her cronies to transport all the slave laborers to the territory of Daoxi Xia to take care of them. If she wants to settle down with her cronies, she will return alone, and be sure that those who know the inside of the tunnel will not return for a short time.
The next day. After going out to train the soldiers and horse thieves returned, Bai Qi immediately went to the black wolf. The Golden Scorpion and the three horse thieves of Humour sent a messenger, in the letter. Bai Qi explained his intention to run Moon Lake with the three of them, and explained why.
In the letter, he asked the three leaders to send their henchmen to come for a meeting to discuss the joint management of Moon Lake by the four families.
Sukhbaru had already heard what Bileg had said about Bai Qi's thoughts, and he was not too surprised to receive the letter, but after reading the letter, the black wolf and the golden scorpion were speechless for a long time.
It is said that after reading the letter, the golden scorpion discussed with several of his subordinates for a whole night, and finally contacted the horse thieves who had been cooperating with the two nearby horse thieves who had always cooperated in running the golden scorpion town, and together sent the three masters to Moon Lake.
It is said that after reading the letter, the black wolf only said two sentences, one was, "This young man is terrible." The other sentence was, "Promise him that if he can let me take 30% of the benefits, I will close the black wolf pile." ”
Three days later, the representatives of the three families gathered at Moon Lake, and Bai Qi entertained the representatives of all parties in the gathering hall.
The Black Wolf sent his second master, a swarthy Tibetan man named Luo Busan.
Sukhbaru sent his youngest son, the little prince of Alatan.
Different from the primogeniture inheritance system of the Han people, the grassland people implement the young son inheritance system, so the little prince of Alatan is actually the heir of Sukhbaru, and his identity is extraordinary.
The little prince did not come alone, and the shaman Billegg accompanied him.
The Golden Scorpion and their allies have sent their own second masters, the second leader of the Golden Scorpion is named Yelubaoren, who is white and fat, and smiles all day long, saying that he is a businessman or a housekeeper, and no one suspects it, but if you want to sue others, this guy is a horse thief, and no one believes it.
But if someone dares to underestimate this smiling tiger, I'm afraid they won't even know how he died.
Several horse thief gangs led by Jin Scorpion are mainly active on the border of the Western Liao Kingdom, and people say that this group of horse thieves is inextricably linked with some nobles of the Western Liao Kingdom.
After entertaining the representatives of all parties, Bai Qi went straight to the point and proposed to jointly manage Moon Lake with various families.
After three days of intense bargaining, the representatives of the four families finally determined the share of each family, as well as the obligations and rights of each family.
First of all, Black Hawk, as the original owner of Moon Lake, will receive 30% of the future Moon Lake income for free.
As an old powerhouse, the black wolf will also receive 30% of the income from Moon Lake, at the cost of closing the black wolf pile, organizing horse thieves on the border of Tubo to return to Moon Lake to sell stolen goods, and at the same time promoting Tubo merchants to come to Moon Lake to trade.
The Humor tribe received 20% of Moon Lake's income in exchange for sending more than 3,000 war horses to Moon Lake for sale every year in the future.
Golden Scorpion and his two allies together receive the remaining 20% of the proceeds at the cost of closing Golden Scorpion Town.
This condition is a little unfair for the Golden Scorpion, but as the weakest of the four, it is necessary to make concessions, and another benefit they get is that through this meeting, the other three families are equivalent to recognizing it as one of the new four great horse thieves in the northwest.
According to the agreement, the Black Eagle will give up the camp on the shore of the Moon Lake, and in the future it will be jointly garrisoned by the four families, of which the Black Eagle side will be stationed with 200 people, led by the Seven Stars, the Black Wolf side will be stationed with 100 people, led by Robsang, Hu Moor will be stationed with 150 people, led by the Little Prince, and the Golden Scorpion will be stationed with 150 people, led by the Yelubao people.
With regard to the collection of protection fees, the four companies agreed that the four would take turns to be responsible, and that while one of them was responsible for collecting the fees, the other three would be responsible for supervising them, and that the protection fees collected would be concentrated in one place, and the four would jointly guard the collected money, which would be distributed proportionally every four months.
During the meeting, everyone also formulated some simple laws for Black Hawk Town, such as no private fighting in the Moon Lake grassland, and any caravan and merchant who dared to rob the goods purchased from Black Hawk Town would be jointly attacked by ......the four horse gangs.
