Chapter 127: Thrifty Lin Qi
There are more than ten miles from the lame shop in the dock area to the university town, although it is the imperial capital, although it is a very spacious and flat road, but the thick snow makes it very difficult for people to walk.
The wind and snow were raging, and it was impossible for the handymen under the Imperial Capital City Hall to sweep away all the snow on the road, they only carved out a clean road in the middle of the road that was large enough for two carriages to walk side by side. Obviously, this clean road is for the aristocratic lords who travel by car. And on the sidewalks on the side of the road, the snow is at least knee-high.
Linzi and Enzo struggled through the snow with two large suitcases, which were large and had a weight proportional to their volume.
The weight of the two was not light, and with these two suitcases weighing hundreds of pounds, they were deeply submerged in the snow with every step.
The boots were already soaked, the pants were almost wet, and the melting snow made the two of them cold from the knee down like a pinprick.
Rao is like this, they have used their fighting energy to protect their legs, and their legs are still very cold.
Enzo lifted the suitcase on his shoulder in distress, and he smiled bitterly, "Chief, we need a carriage!"
"No, never!" Lin Qi firmly rejected Enzo's suggestion, he gritted his teeth and said, "You know, in this hellish weather, those coachmen in the dock area are so hateful, they need at least ten chirps to send us to the university town!
"But!" Enzo rolled his eyes helplessly at the gray sky. At this moment, Lin Qi's back and Graham coincided into one, both of them were so stingy and stingy, in this state, no one wanted to snatch a copper from Lin Qi's fingers.
However, the suitcases they were carrying were too heavy, and each box contained 10,000 gold coins and 50,000 silver coins neatly wrapped in oiled paper, a total of 20,000 gold coins and 100,000 silver coins in cash, which was the first capital that Lin Qi brought from Dunerke to develop and grow the Iron Fist Brotherhood.
Originally, they were supposed to come over with golden tickets, but Lin Qi did carry a large number of golden tickets. But after considering the bank's handling fee between Dunerke and the imperial capital, he resolutely chose to exchange a sum of cash in Dunerke and brought it over.
"A little can be saved!" this is Lin Qi's original words.
Obviously, the Brotherhood of Iron Fist needs cash, and it doesn't mean that everything has to be done with a large golden ticket. 20,000 gold coins and 100,000 silver coins are enough for the current Brotherhood of Tekken to live a good life for two or three years comfortably, and even if the Brotherhood expands tenfold in size in the short term, this money will be enough to cover the expenses for many months to come.
However, if you take the gold ticket issued by the bank of Dunerke to exchange cash in the bank of the imperial capital, 20,000 gold coins and 100,000 silver coins will be charged at least a handling fee of 100 gold coins, which Lin Qi will not tolerate.
Although Lin Qi had a golden ticket of 100,000 gold coins issued by the Imperial Capital Yinshan Xiang Bank, it was impossible for Lin Qi to withdraw all the gold coins in one go, and carrying too many gold coins with him would greatly increase the possibility of theft, how could Lin Qi make such a mistake?
However, if the golden ticket of 100,000 gold coins is not fully withdrawn, but the remaining gold coins are re-deposited into the Yinshan Elephant Bank and asked them to re-issue a small gold ticket, this will still charge a handling fee!
Therefore, Lin Qi simply brought it from Dunerke, so that he could save hundreds of gold coins in handling fees, which was very cost-effective.
As for Lin Qi's anklet, which could hold the cargo of a carriage, it was filled with contraband provided by Blackbeard for the future development of the brothers of the Brotherhood of the Iron Fist, such as some swords and strong bows and crossbows, and even two large machine crossbows with extremely lethal power. This kind of thing can't be brought into the imperial capital in a grand manner, compared to it, Lin Qi would rather carry gold coins for a long journey.
"Or, in fact, you should give these things to Uncle Barr!" Enzo snorted weakly, "He's stronger than us!"
"Damn, what are these things called?" Lin Qi shouted a little frantically: "These are cute oh hoo, cute chirp, they are all my sweethearts, what are these things? Enzo, although Uncle Barr will not embezzle one of my coppers, but these cute yellow and silver little babies still have to be kept by my side to make me feel at ease, do you understand?"
Waving his arm vigorously, Lin Qi said proudly: "Even if it's my biological father, don't even think about touching my property with a finger!"
Enzo's feet slipped and he almost fell to the ground, he shook his head, he knew Lin Qi's face for money more thoroughly.
But the problem is that Lin Qi was indeed embarrassed in the past three years, but this time when he went back to Dunerke, Lin Qi got profits from other places, not to mention the profits he had obtained from other places, and there were millions of golden tickets looted from Ya and Ling alone. How did Enzo find out that with the increase of money and goods in his hands, Lin Qi became more and more desperate for money?
With a wry smile and a muddy pull, Enzo gritted his teeth and followed Lin Qi's side, staggering towards the Fifth University.
The distance, which can be completed quickly on weekdays, took Linzi and Enzo a full four hours today. After four hours of trekking through the wind and snow, paying the price of two pairs of boots being completely scrapped, the two finally struggled back to the bachelor dormitory of Lin Qi of the Fifth University.
It was only at this time that Enzo found out that Lin Qi was really prescient, and when one or two people got off the boat, Lin Qi insisted on letting Enzo change into a pair of tattered felt boots with ten sons, and now it seems that it is indeed a wise choice. The two pairs of boots were completely damaged, but what they had lost was twenty coppers, which was nothing compared to ten silver coins for the carriage?
With a sad face, Enzo changed his trousers and warm boots in Linzi's dorm room, and helped Linzi stuff two large suitcases under his bed.
Lin Qi viciously arranged three vicious traps in the room that would kill people, and then closed the door lightly and clapped his hands proudly.
"Go find something warm to eat, and then we'll go to Shenghui Street. ”
"I have a gut feeling that these two women will also bring us a large sum of gold coins!"
Lin Qi's eyebrows fluttered on Enzo's shoulders, and the two walked out of the empty dormitory building side by side. (To be continued)
