Chapter 14: Once and for all
"That's right!" Bai Lilan showed an encouraging smile and said, "Compared with 20,000, the extra is 80,000 taels, and 30% is calculated to make a total of 24,000 taels." This amount of silver is only the original income of the sect for the past year, which looks very rich, but think about how much you have gained? Sixty-six thousand taels! That's more than three times as much! And without counting the abundance of personnel, our trading volume will add up rapidly, and the profits will be even more impressive. In the face of such numbers, is the Dugu master not moved? Presumably, in a few years, you will become one of the best sects in the world. In this way, isn't it fame and fortune? ”
Baili Lan depicted it so beautifully that Dugu Jiuhe grinned the corners of his mouth and smirked for a long time.
With this money, the old guys will never think about changing the owner again, and they can walk with their heads held high, without seeing people and hiding like thieves. The people on the rivers and lakes are respectful to themselves, and even the leaders of the martial arts alliance have to give three points to themselves. It's such a beautiful feeling!
"Okay, I've decided, it's settled!" As if he couldn't resist such a temptation, Dugu Jiuhe slapped the table and said loudly, "Exchange three times the annual interest with a three-percent bonus, such a cost-effective deal!" ”
Seeing Dugu Jiuhe's excited expression, Baili Lan slowly hooked the corners of her mouth.
***
The next thing was discussed very smoothly, and Dugu Jiuhe also called the left and right Dharma protectors, and everyone sat down together to discuss, how to recruit people, how to open a rudder, and so on. With the gradual deepening of the contact, Dugu Jiuhe found that the woman Baili Lan was simply unfathomable! Baili Lan's ideas are different from ordinary people, and he is bold, dares to think and do, and his methods are also ruthless. Sometimes looking at her behavior, she is as fierce as a lone wolf. But with a smile and a smile, there is the most gentle bond of a woman in the world. These two extreme expressions are soft on Baili Lan, which will always make Dugu Jiuhe feel a sense of confusion, and I don't know what kind of appearance Bai Lilan will appear in the next moment.
"Door master, door master?"
Xiao Protector called for a long time before he saw Dugu Jiuhe's expression gradually sober up, looked at him in a daze, and asked rhetorically, "What?" ”
Seeing that Dugu Jiuhe was deserting, the corners of Xiao Protector's mouth twitched, and then reminded, "Just now, everyone was discussing where to open the new chief rudder." Does the owner have a good idea? ”
"Well, this is ......" rubbing his nose, Dugu Jiuhe waved his hand and said, "I think it's not bad here, the people are outstanding, and they are not conspicuous, and the key tea fragrance is elegant, which makes people feel comfortable when they smell it!" ”
Dugu Jiuhe's words made several ministers of the humerus in the Baixiang Gate feel embarrassed, and the heart said that the master of this sect was not only regressing by ten years in appearance, but also regressing in mind!
In the midst of the silence, Baili Lan suddenly said, "I also think this Luoxia Town is good. Located in the border of Bac Ninh, across the Qi Ai River is Nanzhao. And the geographical location can be attacked, retreat can be defended, even if the two countries are at war, it is not easy to capture here. Because the fragrance of tea is famous all over the world, there are many merchants who come and go every year, as long as there is a place for the exchange of interests, there will be disputes, and we are still worried that the business can not be found? ”
After Baili Lan's analysis, everyone who just felt that Dugu Jiuhe's words were ridiculous nodded in agreement. Seeing this, Dugu Jiuhe shouted unwillingly on the side, "That's what the old man thought just now, Baili's analysis is very correct!" ”
Xiao Protector tried his best to hold back the turmoil in his heart, looked at Baili Lan, and asked, "Dare to ask Baili girl, the number of rudders we can set up now is one hundred and three, where are these rudders mainly scattered?" Is it Jiangnan, or Jiangbei? ”
"Neither," Baili Lan raised her chin, as proud as an empress, "I want the rudder of Baixiangmen, distributed on the Kyushu continent!" ”
Such a bold and enthusiastic suggestion shocked everyone present, and then their eyes invariably appeared yearning for fame.
Xiao Protector was the first to come back to his senses from his longing, and asked in a calm voice as much as possible, "Although the idea of letting Baixiangmen spread all over Kyushu is very beautiful, it is indeed difficult to realize. One hundred and three places may seem like a lot, but intelligence work requires the development of a powerful information network, and if these one hundred and three places are dispersed, I am afraid that they will not play their due role at all. ”
"Protector Xiao doesn't have to worry about this. At present, there is still a misunderstanding in everyone's thinking, that in order to do things beautifully, there must be enough people. Not really. Intelligence work is a real thing, and if we can effectively integrate local resources, we will get twice the result with half the effort. As the process continues to unfold, we are infiltrating our own forces into the local area little by little, gradually turning our original dependence into our own strength. As long as it goes through one to two years of development, Baixiangmen will be able to shine in Kyushu! ”
Listening to Baililan's inspiring description, Dugu Jiuhe became more and more convinced that he had picked up a treasure. It's just that the controllability of this baby is relatively poor, no matter how you think about it, you feel like you're being led by the nose......
***
After the matter of Baixiangmen was dealt with, it was already half a month later. The weather in Luoxia Town is gradually getting warmer, the sun is shining, the sky is clear, and the fragrance of tea is accompanied by life every day.
Calculating the time, Steward Zhou should set off for the capital, I'm afraid it won't be long before that guy from Chang'an Wuhua suddenly pops up and shouts "Xiao Lanlan" delicately. Every time she thought of that title, Bai Lilan always felt a chill.
Through Baixiangmen, Baili Lan learned that Su Yichen really sat on the throne of the crown prince, and Ou Zhilan was promoted to the crown princess. Su Yichen is still smart and knows what kind of woman is most useful to him. Although Ou Zhilan is related to Ou Qingshan, her heart is all on Su Yichen's body, and she is smart enough and her wrists are enough. As long as she uses it properly, her identity can make a big fuss.
Although he is already the crown prince, Shu Yichen has not stopped tracking himself. During these days in Luoxia Town, all the tracking was openly and secretly blocked back by Baixiangmen. This kind of protection is only temporary, and when he leaves Dugu Jiuhe and a few Dharma protectors, with his long-cherished character, he will eventually take action. Bai Lilan was not afraid of his methods, but felt that it was very troublesome to deal with. Even if you trample a small worm to death, you have to use it hard. But Bai Lilan didn't even want to exert himself this time, and he was always trying to figure it out, a way to do it once and for all.
"What does the county lord think, so distracted."
"It's okay," sat up lazily, Bai Lilan let the spring breeze tidy up her scattered hair, coiled it behind her head into a simple hanging bun, lazy and charming, "Dugu Sect Master, can they say when they will leave?" ”
"I just met Protector Xiao, and I said that it was just these two days."
It's only been these two days......
Baili Lan pondered for a while, and then decided, "As soon as they leave, let's set off too!" ”
Chunfeng didn't expect Baili Lan to decide so quickly, and couldn't help but be surprised, "County Lord, don't we still want to pick up a batch of tea in Luoxia Town and bring it to Nanzhao?" Why, don't choose it now? ”
"Don't choose, there's no time," Bai Lilan's expression was serious, and there was a sense of killing, "If it's later, I'm afraid Su Yichen's people will arrive, and it's too troublesome to deal with." Before that, I want to enter the Nanzhao Kingdom, and even if Su Yichen is the emperor of Bac Ninh, he will not have the courage to blatantly search. ”
"It's Su Yichen again, didn't he say he was going to let go, how could he regret it, it's really shameless!" Xia Yu was indignant on the side, and all kinds of cursed words crackled, like pouring beans.
"Alright, there's time to complain, so you might as well do something useful." Bai Lilan interrupted Xia Yu's chatter and said, "There is no time to choose tea, Qiushuang, you and Chunfeng will go to the market to pick up some finished tea products in the past two days, purchase more, and bring them to Nanzhao." ”
"How much are we going to buy?"
After roughly calculating, Baili Lan said, "Buy a hundred copies first." ”
"A hundred parts...... County Lord, will it be too little? We can hire a carriage, anyway, it's all a trip, it's better to pick more, and we can make a lot of money. ”
Gently twisting the rouge in the box, Baili Lan said lightly, "Who said I was going to take it and sell it?" ”
"Not for sale?" Chunfeng was a little confused, and said strangely, "If you don't sell it, it's a hundred copies, but it's too much, and you can't use it up until it gets moldy." ”
"Anyway, you just go and prepare." Baili Lan didn't bother to explain so much, waved her hand, and let the spring breeze and autumn frost go down to prepare.
The day of separation soon came, Dugu Jiuhe and Baixiangmen and the others sat in the carriage, looked at Baili Lan in the carriage opposite, and laughed loudly, "I really didn't expect that the old man would talk about business with a girl!" Although no matter how you think about it now, the old man seems to have been calculated by you, but it doesn't matter, even if he is calculated by you this time, the old man is willing! Baililan, I hope that the next time I see you, you can still surprise the old man! ”
"It's hard to say surprise, but it's possible to be frightened!" Baili Lan smiled lightly, looked at the man opposite, and said, "I believe that when we meet, we don't have time to catch up, we all hold the abacus and count our own shares!" ”
"Haha, the old man likes this statement!"
Dugu Jiuhe looked up to the sky and smiled, while Baili Lan looked at Xiao Protector and finally asked the question in his heart.
"May I ask Protector Xiao if you remember the token you gave me?"
Hearing this, Xiao Protector nodded and said, "Naturally, I remember." ”
"Is that an ordinary token, or does it have a special meaning in the Baixiang Gate?"
Xiao Protector's face flashed, and he slowed down before he said, "It seems that the Baili girl still found out." That's right, the one who holds the token is our Baixiangmen is the history of the order, uploading and disseminating, and spreading the secret letter. ”
Bai Lilan had a "sure enough" expression.
