Chapter 577: Zhao has been a vegetarian for decades
Li Ziyu looked at the excited people below with red cheeks, and asked a question: "How many Portuguese governors have there been on Ao Island?" ”
That's a good question, but no one counts it.
Who's going to specialize in this?
Seeing that they looked at each other and couldn't answer, Li Ziyu asked and answered: "Plus Luo Shada, who was just nailed to the ground by our head, there are 101 in total!"
Then Li asked again, how many Portuguese soldiers are there on the island? ”
This time, no one below could answer, but Li Zhun next to him couldn't help but say: "There are more than 2,000 Portuguese soldiers on Ao Island, and there are three warships, naturally, the battleships have been scuttled." ”
Li Ziyu smiled at him: "That's right." And our leader, with a ruling group of less than 50 people, wiped out all 2,000 Portuguese soldiers. Now we have 2,000 people in the Australian Island Militia Group, and everyone has a quick gun. We have tens of thousands of people in Xuantian Sect. The Qing court is afraid of Portugal's retaliation, and our militia and our Xuantianzong are not afraid of Portugal! ”
Everyone was so excited that they couldn't help themselves.
Li Zhun is very sober.
Although Li Ziyu's words are very exciting, by this time, Li Ziyu has not revealed his true intentions.
If it's just a fight, then there's no need to go out of your way and gather a group of businessmen and industrialists.
Sure enough, Li Ziyu's next words are the point.
Li Ziyu said: "Everyone. In the last century, the Portuguese legalized the gambling industry on the island of Macao, and introduced a monopoly system for gambling.
Today, gambling and the island are inextricably linked.
But today's gambling house is mixed and disorderly, and Li sees it in his eyes and is anxious in his heart.
Now that the Portuguese have been driven out, it's time to set the standards for us Chinese. ”
A businessman is a businessman.
Don't look at the previous snorts and look like a hot-blooded middle-aged group of middle-aged people, but when it comes to self-interest, they immediately recover from the excitement.
A person got up and asked coldly, "I wonder what Elder Li's statute is?" ”
It was Tan Bili who spoke, and at this time he faintly became the leader among many gambling house owners.
During this time, Tan Bili had a very bad time.
First of all, he was wanted by the Qing court, and it was not until the Portuguese were destroyed and the island was taken over by Xuantianzong, and the Qing court did not send troops to station for the time being, so he dared to jump out again.
Secondly, the batch of weapons and ammunition he bought at a huge cost, along with the Japanese merchant ship Nichen Maru, was robbed by Zhao Chuanxin.
Whether it is Tan Bili, Japan, or Portugal, they are all losers, and there is only one winner, that is, Zhao Chuanxin.
Tan Bili was already angry, but when he heard that Li Ziyu wanted to change the rules, he was even more angry.
Three words can express his mood - why?
Li Ziyu looked at him: "This is Tan Bili Boss Tan, right?" It just so happens that there's something about you to announce later. Now let's talk about the charter.
After that, all gambling games on Ao Island will be centralized and monopolized. ”
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar.
There are those who are excited, and there are those who are worried.
Tan Bili raised his eyebrows: "What kind of centralized franchise method?" ”
Li Ziyu already had a draft: "There are only six bidding licenses in total, for a period of ten years, and Xuantianzong will retain the right to operate the game, and other entities must be approved in advance to operate the game." Other entities operating the gambling must be approved in advance. ”
As soon as this remark came out, it shocked everyone.
There are several gangs, and there will only be six on Ao Island in the future, and the rest of the gambling houses can be closed.
"This ...... Isn't that right? Tan Bili couldn't hide the joy in his eyes no matter what, but he said something fakely.
If there are only six, in terms of strength and prestige, he will inevitably occupy a place.
However, powerful businessmen in other industries became excited and couldn't help but ask, "Elder Li, can the bidding be fair?" ”
Li Ziyu said with a straight face: "Guaranteed by the reputation of the god of war, those who dare to operate in the dark will be guilty of death." ”
These words made Tan Bili's face change.
If everyone can join in, then he may not be able to get nine out of ten.
He hurriedly asked, "Then, Elder Li, what if it is a transfer during the period?" ”
Li Ziyu said categorically: "It is forbidden to transfer or transfer all or part of the right to operate the game to a third party in any name until the ten-year contract is terminated." ”
Li Zhun didn't understand it, but he was shocked.
I see.
The reason why Li Ziyu dared not collect taxes for a year was the original idea.
If he really did it, what is the tax revenue for a year?
Tan Bili's face turned red and uncertain.
Lu Lian was thoughtful.
Fan Jiepeng's eyes lit up.
Everyone present had different expressions.
Many small gambling house owners couldn't help but set their eyes on Tan Bili.
They must be the ones who have lost the most.
Their strength is not so strong, and if they take it out alone, they will definitely not be strong and will be turned away.
They want Tan Bi to be the first bird.
Tan Bili lived up to expectations, and said in a strange manner: "If the Portuguese come to retaliate, after the bidding is completed, how can Elder Li guarantee me and others?" ”
Li Ziyu smiled: "You can trust Zhao Chuanxin, the head of Xuantian Sect, then vote." Believe it, quit. But rules are rules. If you are not convinced, go to find the head of Zhao and fight with the head of the house. ”
Fight with Zhao Chuanxin, do they have that strength?
Tan Bili was naturally not so tough, he turned his head and asked Li Zhun on the side: "This lord, I think he is an official of the imperial court, what does the imperial court say?" ”
Lee Joon sat on wax.
He can't say that Aodao doesn't belong to the imperial court, and he can't say that Li Ziyu and Zhao Chuanxin can't talk well.
Not to mention that Cixi was afraid of Portugal, and if Portugal retaliated, she would hand over the island.
Faced with a dilemma, his complexion is constantly changing.
He scolded bitterly in his heart: Li Ziyu of the dog day, no wonder he called Lao Tzu over, he didn't feel good at all.
Everyone looked at him, and after a while, he had to say: "Ao Island is currently a Portuguese concession, and it is inconvenient for the imperial court to intervene." ”
Meaning, this is Portugal's territory, and if Xuantian Sect defeats Portugal, it will naturally be managed by Xuantian Sect. When Portugal comes back, it will still belong to Portugal if it can win.
Tan Bili took the case: "Why? ”
Li Ziyu restrained his smile and said lightly: "Okay, the rules have been set, and it's time to talk about Boss Tan." ”
Tan Bili frowned: "Why is it decided?" What's the matter with Tan? ”
Li Ziyu burst into tears: "Tan Bili, you have happened, someone will take it." ”
The two five big and three rough adjudicators brazenly walked towards Tan Bili.
One is a water blowing horse, and the other is Li Zhitao.
Tan Bili also brought a bodyguard, and he looked very strong, so he was going to stop someone.
The tiger and crane are double-shaped, and the Arhat hits the bell.
Li Zhitao turned sideways, his thighs resisted a punch, and his upper body leaned back slightly to dodge.
The bodyguard still wanted to make another move to "raise the waves and throw the hammer", but ...... Li Zhitao straightened the hook and hooked a set of combinations, and then jumped and hit the elbow, playing unreasonably.
He was short, but his body was long and long, and he jumped like a cannonball.
The bodyguard was directly stunned.
Walking the rivers and lakes, you don't know if you don't fight like this?
A leap knocked down the elbow, and the bodyguard was hit by the elbow in the face, and the brain went blank.
Li Zhitao landed on the ground and turned around to whip his fist, snapped, and hit the bodyguard on the cheek with a strong punch.
A tooth and blood flew out.
Fell directly to the ground and convulsed, and committed epilepsy.
Li Zhitao spat out: "Hong Fist, right?" That's it? ”
Tan Bili was stunned.
The bodyguard is a good hand, why did he lie down in three or two clicks?
Haven't you been like this before?
Li Zhitao raised his arm and put a big arm pocket: "Blanch, do you dare to resist arrest?" ”
Tan Bili was hit twice on the head, and shouted with relief: "I don't accept it, what crime am I guilty of?" ”
Li Ziyu stopped Li Zhitao, who wanted to continue pumping people, walked in front of Tan Bili, stared at him and said loudly: "Tan Bili, you smuggle weapons, this is the first crime; You sell opium, which is the second sin; The weapons on the Nichen Maru were seized, and you colluded with Japan and Portugal to make our warships fire guns to apologize and pay compensation, which is the third crime; Last year, you bought a murderer, the gambler Wang Jinxi owed you three hundred taels of silver and did not pay it back, you killed him, I have human and material evidence, this is the fourth crime. You can recognize it, and you can recognize it if you don't recognize it. ”
Not to mention anything else, the smuggling of weapons and the sale of opium alone made many people present unconsciously bow their heads.
They weren't much better.
Tan Bili roared: "It is only natural that he owes money to repay his debts, why is it wrong for him not to pay me back and take his life?" smuggled weapons, which was forced by Zhao Chuanxin. Who doesn't sell opium......"
Li Ziyu couldn't let him continue.
The law does not hold the public accountable.
Zhao Chuanxin never gives people a chance to mend their ways, but Li Ziyu gives it.
Zhao Chuanxin is a piece of killing, and Li Ziyu is different.
He interrupted Tan Bili: "You deserve to die for your sin." Do you have any objections to the crime I am talking about? ”
Of course not.
It's too late for them to get rid of it.
Everyone knows that Zhao Chuanxin hated businessmen who sold opium to the Chinese people.
Since Li Ziyu came to Macao, the first thing he did was to ban the trade in opium.
Seeing that they were silent, Li Ziyu shouted: "Our Shushan is also a gambling house, and the gambling house pays attention to a long rainbow all the way, so it will be popular." Big vat peach, kill this person on the spot! ”
Li Zhitao took out a horse card and pressed it against Tan Bili's head.
Bang.
Crisp and clean.
Tan Bili's eyes were full of disbelief before he died.
Just kill him like that?
Li Ziyu is a master of solving cases, he is used to seeing dead people, he just took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood splashed on his face, he swept his eyes, and everyone present did not dare to look at each other.
"The culprit is dead, and the rest are not to blame, can there be any objections?"
Who the would dare to object?
Outside the door were full of armed Macao militia groups, and no one could run away when they gave an order.
Someone took the lead: "Elder Li is benevolent!" ”
The rest chimed in.
Li Ziyu nodded with satisfaction: "I will give you ten days to prepare, and at noon after ten days, the bidding will be carried out on time in Shushan." Keep in mind that there are only six brands, including the right to operate shop tickets, mountain tickets and white pigeon tickets. ”
There was another slight commotion in the crowd.
Originally, mountain tickets and white pigeon tickets were no longer allowed to operate, but now they have reopened, which is good news.
It can be seen that once you take the photo, you will make money every day.
Li Zhunxin, who witnessed the whole process, was convinced.
Li Ziyu first announced that it was Zhao Chuanxin who drove away the Portuguese, occupied the righteousness, and declared the rationality of Xuantianzong's power. Then the new rules are announced, and then the assassins are killed, and everything falls into place.
Where exactly did Zhao Chuanxin tap the talents?
……
Qinzhou's boat to Shanghai.
Zhao Chuanxin was lying on the recliner reading a book, cooking on the ground and thinking about the dog's life, but Benjamin Goldberg and Zhao Yixian next to him became coolies, replenishing ammunition for Zhao Chuanxin's various weapons.
Zhao Yixian said: "People like me who cultivate the Tao should be compassionate. ”
Benjamin Goldberg said: "The name of this rocket is mercy, and the name of this Madsen machine gun is Huai, isn't it combined to be compassionate?" ”
"......" Zhao Yixian put down the magazine and pinched his fingers: "Today is the fifteenth, and on the day of the full moon, you should be vegetarian." ”
At this time, it was January 18, 1908, the fifteenth day of the thirty-third year of Guangxu, and there were fifteen days left for the New Year.
Zhao Chuanxin put down the book of "Ancient Wen Yuanjian", twisted his neck and said, "Zhao has been a vegetarian for decades. When stewing pork ribs, you will put beans (beans), when you sit on braised pork, you will put sweet potatoes, and when you stew fish, you will put garlic, which can be said to be vegetarian. ”
Zhao Yixian: "......"
Do you call this a vegetarian?
Zhao Chuanxin pouted: "Okay, let's eat spicy crab later, since it's fifteen, remember to add some chopped green onions." Now hurry up and load me up, Zhao Yixian, don't make excuses to be lazy, be careful that I cut you. ”
Benjamin Goldberg had been eating seafood for many days, and he said, "Master, are you going into the water again?" We're almost in Shanghai, it's turbulent and dangerous, so I might as well eat some beef. ”
That small wind and small waves can also be called turbulent?
Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "It's okay, the teacher can basically do it without injury now." Wait until you come ashore to eat beef. ”
