Section 44 Hidden Hands
readx;
While sighing and reading the letter, the yellow-haired man shook his head with a wry smile on his face, and saw that the two people next to him were confused, and the sturdy man with a beard and a halberd and a light armor couldn't hold back any longer, and said angrily: "Lu Man, what is the matter? Look at your little look, what makes it difficult for you to be like that?"
"What other good things can be? Will there be a good thing in Lord Xiao's letter? In addition to asking for money, it is not asking for money?" Lu Man scratched the somewhat scattered yellow hair on his head, squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said: "Our Lord Xiao probably only has money in his eyes, in addition to asking me to quickly pay the full amount of taxes and fees paid to the special administrative region treasury in the second quarter, the letter also asks me to hand over 50 percent of the income from the sale of iron ore equities that I have worked so hard to accumulate, and also says that there is no room for negotiation! Does he still want the people of our Shuangdui Mansion to live?" Damn, didn't you say that it all belongs to our double-pile prefectural-level finances?
"Hehe, you were tricked by Lord Xiao again? Do you think you want to get rid of that side when you get two dollars? Don't dream, I think Lord Xiao is dreaming about what?" The bearded man was naturally Helianbo, the commander of the Shuangdui Garrison Division, he took a hard puff of the cigar in his mouth, two puffs of light blue smoke erupted from his nostrils, and spread out in the room, nodding and gloating.

"Helian Bo, how can you be so virtuous, this kid, Shuangdui Mansion has no money, will your garrison regiment be better? Damn, don't be comforted, you actually say cool things here? Boss Liang, do you say that this guy is hateful, and he is still smoking the best cigar that he stole from my private study?" The yellow-haired man was furious, and complained to the man in plain clothes who was sitting on the left side without saying a word.
"Well, yes, don't give it to him next time, this guy is really not like words. Probably accustomed to seeing the battle between the two of them, the Ying Ting man grinned and comforted, "But I'm thinking that the northwest side is really suffocating, the lord used more than 100,000 troops to solve the siege of Gerlock, hehe, this cost is not a small number, and the Kaman people are hard-hitting, the casualties will definitely not be small, this battle is fought, the cost will definitely not be borne by the current Northwest County finances, Lord Xiao does not find support from the lower prefectures, will he rob or steal?"
"But he's too ruthless, half of it all at once, which I got with a lot of hard work, and I originally planned to invest in the construction of a government-run iron factory, but it's all in vain. Lu Man was still a little distressed, smacking his lips and saying unwillingly.
"Hehe, stop crying in front of us, I don't know who is fighting the idea of the wasteland next to the border of Luzon in the south? It is said that it is a first-class fertile land for growing coffee, if it weren't for the rampant bandits, I'm afraid it would have been developed a long time ago, right? Two days ago, some fat-headed and big-eared plantation owners from Luzon came here to do something, aren't they ready to buy the so-called wasteland? It is said that it is wasteland, and now that the price of imperial coffee continues to rise, once coffee is planted, it can really be said to be a great treasure land. Liang Chongxin looked at the yellow-haired man with a smile, blinked and smiled.
The yellow-haired man obviously didn't expect the other party to even know the news, so he opened his mouth and was speechless for a while.
"Well, also, although the iron-rich mine in the north has sold its equity, I heard that there are still a few small-scale iron mines next to it, I don't know who is wantonly in the Chamber of Commerce to sell those mining rights? I heard that those businessmen are rushing around to find a way?" Liang Chongxin flashed a mysterious smile on his face, glanced at the stunned Lu Man, leaned back slightly, and comfortably cocked Erlang's legs and continued leisurely: "Could it be that the Shuangdui Autonomous Political Axe wants to sell those mining rights for free?" When did Old Lu become so generous?"
"That's enough, Boss Liang, Uncle Liang, I'll obey you, okay?" Like a puppy with its tail stepped on, Lu Man screamed, and suddenly jumped up from the seat, grinning again and again, "Don't you leak the news to Lord Xiao They know, or he will be ruthless again, and our plan for Shuangdui Mansion will really be in vain." ”
"Haha, Boss Liang, it's still up to you, I stepped on this kid's sore foot all of a sudden, look at his appearance, hehe. Helian Bo couldn't help but point to the yellow-haired man with a wry smile on his face and laughed loudly, very happy.
didn't pay attention to Helianbo, the yellow-haired man, who was the city guard of Shuangdui Mansion, Lu Man, pleaded with a bitter face: "Boss Liang, I mean seriously, the big gang of people in Shuangdui Mansion still rely on these two hits, what are the requirements, just mention it, raise your noble hand, okay?"
"Hehe, bribery, well, tonight's dinner has been settled, Lu Man, I guess you can't hide it, Master Li is very well-informed. Liang Chongxin shook his head and smiled.
"Whatever, it's a matter of hiding it for a while, they know it, and then they can let me use it for a while, as long as you don't leak it, hehe, maybe you can hide it." Lu Man also knew that it was not easy to hide it, but he still wanted to be lucky, "By the way, Boss Liang, let's not talk about the mine, how did you know about the coffee plantation in the south?"
Lu Man was puzzled by this question, and even Helian Bo was very interested, "Yes, Boss Liang, we haven't heard any news about this, how do you know?"
"Hehe, digging up the roots?" Liang Chongxin said with a smile, "If you want to know, that old Lu, how about adding dinner tomorrow?"
"Deal!" Lu Man gritted his teeth and accepted the other party's blackmail, and he couldn't sleep well without asking about the inside story.
"Simple, two days ago I went to the government-run iron mill to sharpen my sword, and I saw that it was very busy there, so I asked casually, it turned out that the wasteland in the south was to be reclaimed, and a large number of farm tools were needed. Liang Chongxin happily told the ins and outs of the matter.
"It's as simple as that?" Lu Man and Helian Bo both looked at each other, and Lu Man couldn't help but say, "Those fools won't even buy wasteland all at once, right?" ”
"Hehe, who are you, Lord Lu? I still don't understand, you will make a loss-making deal?" Liang Chongxin asked with a wink.
Luman shook his head speechlessly, and Helian Bo laughed.
"But now the northwest side is quite nervous, otherwise Xiao Tang will not easily break his word, it is estimated that it will be very difficult, the adults are using troops on a large scale again, Lao Lu, it is also necessary for you to support more, after all, our side is still calm, and we can't do it." Liang Chongxin sighed lightly and said, he didn't want to go back to the northwest to go to the front, but in Northern Luzon, the Shuangdui Garrison Division has not yet recovered, and it is true that the first division is needed to stabilize the people's hearts, and he can only accept the reality.
"Boss Liang, in fact, we can also help. Helian Bo sneered, Ling Fox Wing's departure made him hold his stomach, it was the most critical time for training, but he took away his right-hand man, of course he was full of stomach scratches, but Ling Fox Wing was personally named by Lord Li as the head of the newly established Military Intelligence Bureau, this is also the weight of Ling Fox Wing, of course he will not stop it, but in this way, it makes his courage a lot heavier, I heard that Yan Tong, the chief of staff of the Northwest Reading Cavalry Division, was drawn to serve as his deputy, but because the war in the east has not ended, he has not yet arrived, which is also one of the reasons for Helianbo's dissatisfaction。
"Oh, Helian, what are you talking about?" Liang Chongxin also looked at this colleague who seemed to be rough and delicate with some surprise, he knew that the other party would not be untargeted, he must have some ideas, "What do you think, let's hear it." ”
Even Lu Man's attention was immediately attracted, and a pair of dark gray eyes stared at Helenbo, obviously wanting to hear what this guy had in mind.
"Hehe, what is the biggest headache for our Lord Li right now? Isn't it just a lack of money? Then let's find some way to help Master Li get some money, this can be regarded as helping Master Li share his worries, right?" Helian Bo replied with a smile.
"Nonsense! Who doesn't know that what we lack in the northwest now is money! But where does the money come from? This Shuangdui Mansion is left to our exhaustion and hard work, and it will take two or three years for the economy here to bear fruit, and this fiscal and tax revenue will increase accordingly, if you want to get money all at once, unless you steal it and rob it!" Without waiting for Liang Chongxin to speak, Lu Man was already angry to interrupt Helianbo's words.
"Old Lu is really amazing, he guessed my idea at once, hehe, worthy of an old brother!" Helian Bo pretended to be surprised and stretched out his thumb to praise.
"Did I guess right? What did I guess?" Lu Man asked, confused, his eyes wide.
"Huh, didn't you say steal and rob?" Helian asked with a smile, "That's our good idea." ”
"How to steal and rob?" Lu Man was furious when he heard this, "You kid is playing me?"
"Who is playing you? I was going to steal and rob it! Otherwise, where would I get the money?" Helian Bo smiled sneeringly, but looked at Liang Chongxin, who had been sitting next to him and had never spoken.
"Boss Liang, ;;;;;; you" Lu Man was also a little surprised, but saw that this colleague who was responsible for the military defense of the entire Northern Luzon had a pensive look on his face, and he didn't speak for a long time, obviously thinking about something.
"Well, that's a good idea, but there's a lot to be said about it here, and it's not just going to work casually, and it's self-defeating. After a long time, Liang Chongxin pinched the stubble of his chin and nodded slightly.
"Hehe, Boss Liang, that at least means that my path is at least feasible, right?" Helian Bo rubbed his hands, a little excited, and looked eager to try, and laughed: "As for the rest, everything can be calculated slowly, and I am not afraid that there will be no chance." I haven't heard of it, I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it, let me Helian Bo think about it, it's also their blessing, haha!"
