Chapter 1083
"Big brother, it's not like waiting another two years. Why did you bring me back so quickly? Li Hao sat on the sofa next to Li Xiao, picked up a cigar, and carefully cut it with a cigar tong.
"You kid, if you don't learn, you can learn to smoke this thing when you want." Li Xiao smoked a cigar and looked at Li Hao, who was clumsy and cutting cigars.
At a glance, you can see that this kid usually doesn't cut cigars by himself.
Ay......!
The young kid in front of him is no longer the kid who is dragging his clothes and shouting, "Big brother, I want to eat steamed buns." ”
He is the governor of the seven provinces south of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty, and is about to become the second assistant of the Ming court and the second-in-command of government affairs.
"Smoking is a long time coming, when you and your second brother threw me into the Marine Corps. There are no good people there, I still remember Scar teaching me to kill people by hand.
At that time, ......, ......! Li Hao shook his head, looking helpless.
"Oh, yes!
That scar, it seems that he became a battalion commander later. Where are you now? Li Xiao remembered that fierce killer with a scar on his face.
"Be the commander of the guard company with me!" Li Hao finally cut the cigar, waited for a while, and found that no one lit the cigar for him, so he could only light the match himself.
"What is the establishment of your guard company, and a battalion commander will be your guard company?" Li Xiao glanced at Li Hao.
The Ming Dynasty had strict control over the establishment, and as the governor of the seven provinces, Li Hao could have a guard company.
If any local governor dares to recruit guards beyond the establishment without permission, it will be a matter of directly getting himself off the horse.
This one is a thunder pool that no one dares to touch.
Even Li Xiu, who was calling for wind and rain overseas, did not dare to recruit guards beyond the establishment of the army.
Li Hao, a guard company, actually got a battalion commander to be the company commander. Could it be that this kid has been in Jiangnan for a long time.
Kaiya Jianfu has eight residences, and half of the power of life and death in the palm of his hand has begun to float?
Dare to touch this red line?
"Big brother, I don't dare to do that kind of thing as Yue Lei Chi. However, Scar has committed a mistake in the army and is about to be fired.
You know, he's a bandit when he leaves the team.
Now in these days, he is a bandit, and he is starved to death without being killed.
I encountered five assassinations in Gangnam, and Scar helped me get through.
There was a roadside bomb explosion, if he hadn't discovered it in advance. What you see now is probably my spiritual position. Li Hao saw that Li Xiao's face was not good, so he hurriedly explained and clarified.
"Is the situation in Jiangnan still so unstable?" Hearing that Li Hao had been assassinated five times, Li Xiao narrowed his eyes.
"In the past few years, it was not possible, and the life of the peasants was very hard. Now it is much better, the peasants have divided the land.
The taxes collected by the imperial court are still less, and everyone's life is getting better and better day by day.
No matter how agitated the old and young remnants of Donglin, no one listened. ”
"That's it! Something happened to Scar, and it was about to get to the point of enlightenment.
Your second brother is a very protective person, and he has your level. Hearing Li Hao say this, Li Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that instead of preventing the common people from rebelling, it is better to make the common people rich.
Everyone is full of food and drink, wives and children are hot on the kang, who has nothing to do with the rebellion.
In all dynasties, a rebellion without the participation of the peasants deserves to be called a rebellion.
"Don't mention it! Plunder. Li Hao sighed.
"No, overseas. The marines were not much different from the bandits, and the troops plundered.
It seems that every army will plunder!
Your second brother will deal with a competent battalion commander because of this kind of thing? Li Xiao was a little puzzled, Li Xiu would become iron-faced and selfless in this kind of thing.
"He ...... and robbed the second sister-in-law ......!" Li Hao said squeaky and whined.
"What?" Li Xiao suspected that he had misheard.
Marines, robbed the commander's wife. Scar, this kid, is really ......
"The second sister-in-law has some business overseas, and she refuses to pay when she encounters the place where Scar is stationed.
It stands to reason that it is okay to show the font size without paying the money.
But the steward of the second sister-in-law's family may have been a little damaged in his speech.
As a result, he was hanged directly by Scar, and the goods were also ...... Divided. ”
"Divided?" Li Xiao felt unbelievable, they dared to share the commander's things?
"Hmmm! It's ......! Li Hao nodded solemnly.
"How dare you divide this?"
"Big brother, you don't know, my sister-in-law has done a bit too much overseas.
The king of Egypt was called Pharaoh, you know! ”
"Hmmm! You know, what's wrong? Li Xiao nodded, he also knew about the Ephinx and the Valley of the Kings.
I don't understand, why Li Hao suddenly asked about this.
"The sister-in-law actually dug up the grave and sent people to dig the graves of the pharaohs of the ages.
It is said that a coffin of pure gold was dug up. It weighs a full 200 kilograms!
Pure gold!
Tell me, so much serious business. Even if you dig oil fields, you can make money every day, how can you do this. ”
It can be seen that Li Hao looks down on Zheng's archaeological career very much.
Li Xiao pouted, this thing has indeed gone too far.
The bad guy is also the emperor of Egypt, and doing this can easily arouse the national sentiment of the Egyptians.
The children of the Zheng family are more or less meaningless. It's like that for boys, and it's true for girls.
Guarding a character like Li Xiu, how can he make money, he has to do these things that can't be put on the table.
"And yes! Did you know?
Now Western countries are buying our Ming warships, and they are all taking the route of the second sister-in-law.
After giving the second sister-in-law a kickback, the second sister-in-law will help them lower the price.
It is said that when the Spaniards bought our battleship, she helped press almost a million silver coins.
Last time, my family went to Xinjiapo to see Xiaoyu, and I met my second sister-in-law. As she said herself, she got a kickback of 200,000 silver coins.
He also said that this money is easy to earn, which makes my family's mind more active.
You say, this is ......! ”
Li Hao wanted to speak and stopped, the little uncle didn't talk about his sister-in-law like this. It can be seen that Li Hao can't bear it anymore.
"Oh, does your sister-in-law have such a thing?" Li Xiao's mind is all spent on the military, and he doesn't worry much about these things.
"Sister-in-law?
The sister-in-law hugged the money, which was called a heartbreak.
Do you know?
Almost all the mines in Southeast Asia have a stake in your family. Without the nod of the sister-in-law, no one would dare to open mines in Southeast Asia and India.
Six out of ten oil fields in the Middle East are yours.
Eight out of ten oil refineries in Goryeo are yours. The remaining two are taken care of by Xiaoyu.
Your family's money is probably all gold and silver now.
Seriously, also a piece of the brother's pie.
Shi has been at home since he was a child, and he has the same temperament as the eldest lady. I don't know how to make money for my family!
I haven't saved much over the years.
The dignified governor of the seven provinces is not as good as being called Hanako.
If it weren't for the sister-in-law giving some dividends every year, life would be almost unbearable.
In the past, you could still collect some ice and carbon tribute.
But you have recently issued an order that no bad rules will be accepted. My position, my identity, of course, should be an example. ”
Li Hao was very helpless!
"What are you crying about being poor, my family's income has two percent of yours and two percent of Xiaoyu's.
My family has a sea of gold and silver, and your family can still lack money to go.
Don't blame Shi, that's how his family lives.
I asked Stilwell that day, the old man of the Shi family is still planting vegetables in a vegetable plot at home.
If you marry a daughter-in-law, you must marry this kind of poetry and book heirloom.
It seems that the second daughter-in-law is doing that, hehe......! Li Xiao smoked his cigar and sneered.
Li Hao knew that the second sister-in-law Zheng was in big trouble.
If the grave-digging brother can still tolerate it, Li Xiao will definitely not tolerate such a thing as accepting other people's money to dig the foot of the Daming Wall.
"That's right, what Zheng did. Does your second brother know? ”
"I haven't seen my second brother for almost a year, and I can't say anything about this kind of thing in the letter."
"Let's not talk about this, let's talk about your coming to the court as a secondary assistant."
"Big brother, the capital is expensive. You tell your sister-in-law, I'm ...... Money is tight. ”
"You kid, don't accept carbon to respect Bingjing, come to your eldest brother to get oil." Li Xiao was a little annoyed, it stands to reason that he is the most qualified to receive things.
But ......, but now, it doesn't count if you confiscate something, and you are blackmailed by your younger brother.
"If you take money from others, you have to do something for others. Collect your money from the eldest brother, that is called helping the brother.
It's not the same! Not the same. ”
"Humph! You kid ......!
I heard that your sister-in-law sent someone to Afghanistan to get a copper mine.
I heard that the preliminary exploration has been done, if you are really short of money, then find your sister-in-law to join the shares. ”
Li Xiao is still soft-hearted!
After all, it's a younger brother, so I have to help no matter what.
"Thank you, big brother." Li Hao was so happy that he almost jumped up from the sofa.
The Ming Dynasty lacks copper, and the copper mines in the territory are simply unable to make ends meet.
Because of industrialization, coupled with the continuous construction of power plants. The amount of copper continues to increase!
Although the domestic copper price is not changing every day, it is rising almost every month.
In this context, going overseas to get some copper mines back, that is a good deal to make money every day.
This kind of business that can make a lot of money with your eyes closed, and it is simply difficult for ordinary people to intervene.
But Tokugawa Chihime is no problem, after all, her man is the strongman who controls the most force on the planet.
It's a bit of an exaggeration to ambush millions of corpses in anger, but now Li Xiao can also do it.
"You came to the capital, mainly ......!" Li Xiao said a few words, and then he couldn't go on.
Li Hao's buttocks seemed to have hemorrhoids, and he kept writhing back and forth.
"What's wrong with you?" Li Xiao looked at Li Hao helplessly.
"Big brother, your cigar is not pure. Smoke to the strain, and I'll tell you later, it's convenient for me to go. ”
After Li Hao finished speaking, he ran away without a trace.
Li Xiao was so angry that his hands trembled, and the first time he heard that he wanted to smoke a cigar.
Don't think about it, Li Hao must have gone to Tokugawa Chihime to fight the autumn breeze.
I was relieved, and I didn't know how much this kid could take away from Tokugawa Chihime.
But then again, they're all their own brothers. The meat rots in the pot, and the fat and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders.
"Handsome! The Empress of Russia called and said that the Central Asian Railway would be closed in two months. I would like to invite you to attend the closing ceremony! ”
Junko walked in and asked Li Xiao for instructions.
"No, it's too far! There are too many people involved in my move. Li Xiao waved his hand.
It's nothing more than another walk to Uralsk!
There is no good scenery in that place, and Li Xiao is not interested in going again.
"No!" Shunzi saw that Li Xiao's face didn't seem to be very good, and hurriedly said that he had promised to withdraw.
"Wait a minute, let the green beads come." Li Xiao suddenly commanded.
"No!" Junzi's eyes were stunned, what was it that made Li Xiao call Luzhu over in such a hurry?
Upon learning of Li Xiao's summoning, Lu Zhu quickly came to Li Xiao's office.
"Dashuai!"
"Sit!
I called you here to ask you. Zheng is overseas, how do they make money. Li Xiao asked as he smoked his cigar.
"Zheng?" Lu Zhu didn't understand for a while, which Zheng family Li Xiao was referring to.
"Oh, my second daughter-in-law. Zheng's! ”
"Oh!
Overseas, she dug up the tombs of the Egyptian pharaohs. I heard that the harvest was very rich, and the gold coffin alone weighed more than 200 kilograms. ”
"I don't want to hear about these painless things, I want to know how she resells warships."
Li Xiao interrupted Lu Zhu's report!
This is the first time that Lu Zhu was interrupted by Li Xiao to report.
She knew that Zheng might be unlucky this time. I really don't know who has such courage.
actually stabbed the matter of the Zheng family to the big handsome.
But things have come to this point, and then the only way to tell the truth is to tell the truth.
"The resale of warships has actually been going on for a long time. However, she only dared to suppress the ex-factory price of the Java shipyard and the Singapore shipyard.
Lushun Shipyard, and the price of Huangdao Shipyard, she did not dare to intervene yet. ”
"Hmmm! And all those warships? ”
"As early as when Daming auctioned off the old steam engine warship, she participated in the resale. Later, honest steam engine battleships were sold to European countries!
She stopped for a while, and for a while she was mainly engaged in maritime trade.
Later, you agreed, to sell the new warships to the Europeans. She's ......! ”
"There are so many profitable businesses to do, but I want to do such a business.
I've also heard that the Marines are overseas, and the life of the soldiers doesn't seem to be very good. Someone withheld military salaries? ”
The Liao Army's military salaries have always been favorable, and the salaries of overseas garrisons are even better.
Those who abandon their families and jobs are not treated well, and no one will want to go.
"As far as I know, there is no such thing as deducting military salaries.
It's just that......! ”
"Just what?" Li Xiao saw that Lu Zhu wanted to speak and stopped, and immediately asked.
It's a bit strange to make the most murderous spy leader in the Ming Dynasty speak.
"That's right! Although the Marines are well paid overseas, they also spend a lot of money overseas. ”
"The expenses are big, what do they spend. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all spent on the money of the imperial court. Li Xiao is even more strange.
"It's mainly ......, it's mostly spent on women, and it's gambling money."
Green Bead said in a slurred.
"Bet ......!" Li Xiao was speechless, sure enough, women and gambling are the eternal topics of men.
At home, the Liao army was well controlled.
But to the foreign countries, the station wants to scatter. If you want to control it well, you can ...... It's hard!
