"Young master, in fact, our Qiu family also has 5,000 private soldiers, including 2,000 cavalry, of course, mainly because of the war horses I trafficked back from the north, and those that were not sold stayed to form cavalry."

Qiu Wansheng looked embarrassed, as if he was forced to form a cavalry by himself.

However, at this time, although the imperial court allowed the major wealthy families to form their own private soldiers, they had strict control over the cavalry.

As soon as he said this, Qiu Wansheng's face showed a worried look.

"I didn't expect that you would be able to raise an army of 5,000 people from a state and county family, which is very good, really good."

Li Yue unabashedly showed his greed, and seemed to have a strong interest in Qiu Wansheng's five thousand people.

And the other party also saw Li Yue's thoughts, and frowned bitterly.

These 5,000 soldiers and horses belong to the Qiu family, so naturally they don't want to hand them over.

"Young master, these 5,000 people are almost all the children of our Qiu family, and the younger generation of our Qiu family is all counting these more than 5,000 people, if it is really gone, I am afraid that our Qiu family will be gone."

Qiu Wansheng said with a bitter face.

"I think you misunderstood, I won't use all of your five thousand people, but you can't let me be responsible for the entire Fan family alone!"

Li Yue looked at Qiu Wansheng with a solemn expression, and his voice was a little lower, as if he meant to warn the other party.

Hearing this, Qiu Wansheng also relieved himself, knowing that his Qiu family army would not become cannon fodder, and his face softened.

But in the end, I also knew that I still had to have some blood.

"Young master, don't worry, as long as you send troops, all the expenses will be borne by our Qiu family, and as for the loss of horses and weapons, our Qiu family will also bear it."

Qiu Wansheng said very generously.

Li Yue, who heard this, couldn't help but sneer.

Although the words are very good, if you really send 50,000 elite soldiers to besiege Xinhua County, and the logistics support is all stuck in the hands of the Qiu family, you will definitely regret it by then.

"I will bear the supply of grain and grass by myself, and the horses, artillery, gunpowder, and firecrackers will be borne by your Qiu family, but your five thousand Qiu family troops will also have to be pulled out, and we will be able to integrate them together, and the strength will be great!"

Li Yue smiled indifferently, stepped forward, and patted Qiu Wansheng on the shoulder.

That look revealed the domineering spirit of the king, so that the other party did not dare to look directly.

Originally, I thought that I could use Li Yue's strength to leverage the entire Jiangzhou Chamber of Commerce.

As a result, he will occupy the entire Yangzhou as his own land snake and control the sea trade.

When it doesn't take a few years, it will be able to become a giant.

"Young master, I understand, but if the Qiu family army wants to come out, it's not up to me to have the final say, and I have to agree with the major elders in the family."

Qiu Wansheng said with a bitter face.

Hearing this, Li Yue smiled coldly, looked at Qiu Wansheng meaningfully, and then grabbed the other party's hand and walked directly to the house.

After entering the room, the two sat around the table.

At this time, Zhang Erya did not leave Jiangdu Mansion, but served as a personal maid in Li Yue's mansion.

As soon as the two of them sat down, Zhang Erya served tea, looking a little rough, but the work was still quite neat.

After serving tea, I waited on the side, but I was a little blind.

I didn't know that Li Yue wanted to talk to Qiu Wansheng alone, and he was still listening.

Seeing Zhang Erya's upright character, Li Yue couldn't help but smile bitterly.

But at the same time, I also think that there is nothing else I can't say to others, so it doesn't matter.

"Your goods were seized by Fan Zhongqiao, and with my current strength, I can't organize a large-scale fleet to go to sea to help you get it back, but it's okay to send troops to besiege Xinhua County, just like I said just now, you and I will each have half of it."

Li Yue said with a solemn expression.

"Young master, what do you mean by half of each? Could it be that how many people you produce, how many people do we have in the Qiu family? ”

Qiu Wansheng asked with a puzzled face.

"That is to say, your Qiu family is responsible for all the expenses while giving out all the Qiu family army, but after the entire Xinhua County and even the entire Yangzhou are controlled, your Qiu family can account for half of it."

Li Yue said quietly.

Hearing this, Qiu Wansheng was stunned.

Although this is very different from what he wanted to swallow the whole of Yangzhou with the help of Li Yue's ability.

But being able to get half at this time is definitely worth the money.

"Young Master, do you mean that our Qiu family can take charge of the entire Yangzhou for you?"

Qiu Wansheng said with a look of astonishment.

Li Yue, who heard this, couldn't help laughing, obviously what Qiu Wansheng understood was not what he said.

But at the same time, he also saw that the other party was very eager, and understood that if he agreed, the other party would definitely do his best to help him win Xinhua County and even the entire Yangzhou Prefecture.

"Of course that's for sure, but if I give you half of Yangzhou Mansion, you have to be able to pay the corresponding price, if there is no equal price, why should I share it with you?"

Li Yue smiled indifferently and said very calmly.

As soon as these words came out, Qiu Wansheng, who was originally sitting on the stool, immediately stood up and knelt down on Li Yue's knees.

"Lord, my Qiu family is willing to look forward to the head of the horse for the Lord, and the horse pawn before the battle."

Qiu Wansheng immediately showed a loyal look on his face, and said excitedly.

Li Yue, who was standing motionless in place, looked at Qiu Wansheng, who was still complaining to himself just now and wanted to use his own strength to deal with others, and couldn't help but sigh.

I feel that the person in front of me is indeed a character who complements Wu Youcai, they are all forgetful of profit, thoughtful, and really villainous.

"Very good, as for Tamluo Island, we don't have to worry, as long as Xinhua County is the mainstay, he will naturally spit out those goods for you."

Li Yue said very calmly.

As soon as these words came out, Qiu Wansheng's face was also full of excitement.

Originally, the goods this time gambled on the fate of the entire Qiu family, and if there was any failure in the goods, the Qiu family would no longer exist.

"Young master, you can rest assured that half of the profits from this shipment are yours."

Qiu Wansheng said excitedly.

"Very good, then go back and prepare, in ten days, I will send 30,000 people to besiege Xinhua County, and you are responsible for preparing all the weapons, firearms, and horses of these 30,000 people."

Li Yue's expression was solemn, and he looked like he was giving a heavy responsibility, and as soon as his voice fell, Qiu Wansheng felt a heavy burden and left in a hurry.

After Qiu Wansheng left, Li Yue showed an unkind smile.

"Childe, what's wrong with you? Is it that funny? ”

Zhang Erya asked puzzled.

Hearing this, Li Yue looked at Qiu Wansheng, who had already walked out of the backyard, and couldn't help but sigh.
