Li Changzhu and Wang Fugui nodded in agreement.

When Zhou Xinghe heard this, he scolded in his heart: "These three old guys just want to get benefits, but they can't think of anything, so how can they do it?" ”

Zhou Xinghe quickly calculated in his mind, thought carefully for a while, and then said slowly: "Since the three of you have said so, then I will not refuse!" Since we want to get a piece of the pie, then we have to pay a certain price, we want to dig a pot of treasure, not only to plan well, but also to pay a lot. What can you give? How much do you want to get? ”

Everyone knows that Zhou Xinghe, the old fox, is not easy to deal with, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult to deal with, and the method of picking up cheap ones in the back will not work at all.

If you don't have some blood, then don't want to get good things from this pot.

"Now I heard that the garrison near Luoxia Town has followed, and it will be very difficult for us to take food from the tiger's mouth!" Li Changzhu thought for a moment and replied, "Although the frontier is unstable now, other places have stabilized, and the little weapons and troops in our hands are simply not enough to fight against the local garrison, so if you want to use strong means to get it, it will definitely not work!" ”

"Yes, we should also recognize the reality, after all, we have seen it now, it is not a mixture of fish and dragons before the liberation, the four of us can act after discussing it, and we don't care about those government personnel who have wine bags and rice bags at all!" Wang Fugui echoed and said, "Since the hard one can't work, then we can only come to the soft one, use the power of our four families to publicize some staff of the town government, and then let them come forward to fight for certain benefits for the four of us!" ”

The head of the Liu family thought about it and felt that although such a method was feasible, it still needed to add some content, "You also said that the current new government is different from the old government, even if we have a certain eyeliner, we can act as our spokesperson in the town government, but for a long time, our four major families have been controlling the economic lifeline of Luoxia Town, and the town government wants to snatch food from our hands, but it has not succeeded, especially in terms of taxation." This time, we took the initiative to show goodwill, there is no shortage of ambitious and ideal people in the town government, and we will inevitably pay a certain price in order to be able to get the corresponding compensation! ”

The words of the head of the Liu family made the other three people fall into deep thought, and none of them spoke.

After a while, Zhou Xinghe slowly raised his head and said, "What you said is very reasonable!" Luoxia Town is far away from the emperor on the mountain, but there are a lot of garrisons on our side, and there is power in the barrel of a gun, and whoever has a gun can afford to speak! We can't continue the days of covering the sky with one hand, and this time I called you over to give up our tax rights to the government, and then exchange for the right to mine the jade mine! ”

Zhou Xinghe's generosity surprised the other three.

"But if we let it out, the shops below us will have to pay taxes truthfully, which is a lot of money a year!" Li Changzhu said very regretfully, "Can you release some of it?" ”

"yes!" Wang Fugui also nodded, feeling that Li Changzhu's method was good, and let them let out some of them, and they could still keep some of them.

The head of the Liu family thought for a while, then looked at Zhou Xinghe seriously and said: "If the Zhou family intends to give up the tax money, then the Liu family will definitely take the lead of the Zhou family and be willing to follow the Zhou family to let it out." ”

"Oh, Brother Liu and Brother Zhou, you are really willing!" Li Changzhu smacked his lips, secretly distressed.

"Today is different from the past, we should recognize the reality!" The head of the Liu family sighed and said, "Of course I am not willing to give up such a huge income, but with the gradual centralization of power by the central government, the economic situation and political situation in our place have gradually stabilized, and the whole country is like that, our small Luoxia Town will not be able to be a maverick, and they will not tolerate us continuing to do this." Shen Wansan of the Ming Dynasty was amazing, but in the end, he was not ruined by Zhu Yuanzhang! ”

"Those who know the times are Junjie, and I agree with Brother Liu on this point!" Zhou Xinghe nodded, it is rare that the head of the Liu family is still an understanding person, no wonder the development of the Liu family far exceeds that of the other two.

Li Changzhu and Wang Fugui were silent for a while after hearing this, and finally sighed and said: "Those who know the times are Junjie, although they are distressed, they have to be like this!" ”

"Since you have all agreed to give up the right to collect taxes, then let's discuss how much we can get from the town government!" Zhou Xinghe was slightly relieved, and there was no need to continue to persuade these two.

Although he and the Liu family are tied together and can negotiate with the government, they are not as powerful as the four families united.

It would be best if we could reach an agreement now.

"If I can, of course I want to use this tax to exchange for the entire jade mine, and we can even pay for the right to mine the jade mine!" Zhou Xinghe said in a deep voice, but he had a faint feeling in his heart that this matter was not easy to operate.

"Do you have to pay for it?" Wang Fugui was a little unhappy in his heart, he had already cut a piece of meat, and he had to cut another piece of meat from his body, not to mention how painful it was.

The head of the Liu family listened and nodded, "Now we are begging them, not them begging us!" Therefore, if we get the jade mine, we will have to pay a great price! They trade their mineral deposits for our tax regime. ”

Li Changzhu thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible, but we first have to determine how much jade there is?" I know we're making such a big deal? ”

When Zhou Xinghe heard Li Changzhu's words, he also nodded and said: "Now we still have some chips in our hands, which are very useful, but as time goes by, the chips in our hands are becoming less and less valuable!" At the same time, it is normal for Brother Li to be worried. If the jade deposits are very large, it is worth paying such a big price. If the number is small, then let's find another way! ”

The four families reached an agreement, and each wanted to discuss some details and contribute some strength in the family, and then dispersed.

Zhou Xinghe was not in a hurry to leave, but sat in the box for a while.

He was full of worries about the future, and in front of the other three, although he also showed that he was reluctant to tax the right, he knew that the tax power was a chicken rib in their hands.

Although it can bring them a huge amount of income every year, it is also like a time bomb, as long as there is an opportunity, it may be detonated and blown to pieces.

If there are really a lot of jade deposits, they will take the opportunity to give up the tax rights in their hands, although they may still have to pay a certain price, but in the long run, it will kill two birds with one stone.
