Zhao Banshan asked Wang Yue what he needed to hand over the snow salt formula, and Wang Yue said with a smile: "Third Master Zhao, the value of snow salt, I think you should know." As long as the Red Flower Society operates well, it will not only be able to obtain a large amount of wealth and make the power of the Red Flower Society stronger, but also be able to squeeze out the official salt of the imperial court, and maybe even make the salt tax of the imperial court collapse. ”

Zhao Banshan had bitterness on his face, Wang Yue said it well, the value of this snow salt, even if it is exchanged for all the wealth of the Red Flower Society, I am afraid it will not be enough.

Wang Yue smiled and said, "Third Master Zhao, we can talk about the matter of Xueyan later, now you can talk about it, why did you come to me?"

Zhao Banshan nodded, he was now completely convinced that Wang Yue was not from the imperial court. Although the imperial court wanted to eradicate the Red Flower Society, it was impossible to use snow salt as bait. Snow salt is important to the Red Flower Society, but it is also important to the imperial court.

Zhao Banshan said sincerely: "I came to Wangjia Town this time to let Wang Yue Shaoxia join our Red Flower Society. With Wang Yue Shaoxia's martial arts, in my Red Flower Club, at least in the top five, as long as Wang Yue Shaoxia agrees to join our Red Flower Club, we will definitely not treat you badly. ”

Zhao Banshan came to Wangjia Town to find himself, Wang Yue had guessed his intention early on, but if he really wanted Wang Yue to join the Red Flower Society, Wang Yue was still a little hesitant.

Although the Red Flower Society is the largest anti-Qing organization, it is much weaker than it was more than a decade ago. The most important thing is that Chen Jialuo, the chief helmsman, doesn't care about anything at all, and he is no longer so enthusiastic about opposing the Qing Dynasty.

The current Red Flower Club is about to degenerate into a similar nature to an ordinary gang.

Wang Yue was thinking about gains and losses. Joining the Red Flower Society, although you can get strong human and material support, is very beneficial to your own development. However, I have to take into account the rules of the Red Flower Society and the interests of other leaders, and I am afraid that I will be constrained when I do things myself.

If you don't join the Red Flower Society and refuse it, I am afraid that you will also offend Zhao Banshan and offend the Red Flower Society, and it will not do Wang Yue the slightest benefit.

Now that Wang Yue has offended the Manchu Qing Dynasty, if he offends the Red Flower Society again. Wang Yue is afraid that he will be attacked from both sides in the future, which will make it more difficult for Wang Yue to act.

Wang Yue's eyes changed for a while, and Zhao Banshan was also patient. After all, he joined the Red Flower Society, but he was a thief, and this matter cannot be discreet.

Half a pillar of incense has passed. Wang Yue said: "Third Master Zhao." I am willing to join the Red Flower Society, but I will not leave Wangjia Town, after all, my home is here, and I have a sister. Therefore, I plan to join the Red Flower Society as a guest. ”

"Usually. I am not at the helm of the Red Flower Society, nor do I participate in the management of the Red Flower Society. But if the Red Flower Society comes to a moment of crisis and needs my Wang Yue's help, my Wang Yue will never refuse. I don't know what Zhao Sanye thinks?"

"Keqing?" Zhao Banshan was stunned for a moment and said, "I have a Red Flower Club, but I have never held the position of Keqing." However, with Wang Yue Shaoxia's martial arts and skills, I can promise you to make you a guest of my Red Flower Club. When I got back, I consulted with Mr. Chen and the other leaders, and I think they will agree. ”

Wang Yue nodded, he also understood Zhao Banshan's difficulties.

Although Zhao Banshan has a high position in the Red Flower Society, after all, there is a Chen Jialuo and a dust-free Taoist leader above him, and the Red Flower Society is not his Zhao Banshan alone.

The establishment of the position of guest secretary is not something that Zhao Banshan can count if he agrees, he must go back and discuss with the leaders of the Red Flower Society and try to convince them.

Wang Yue smiled: "Okay, Third Master Zhao, let's talk about snow salt now." ”

Zhao Banshan said happily: "Okay." ”

Now that Zhao Banshan and Wang Yue are talking, they are much more harmonious.

Wang Yue said: "Zhao Sanye, I can give you the formula of snow salt, but I need fifty percent of the snow salt income." ”

"Fifty percent?" Zhao Banshan shook his head and said, "Wang Yue Shaoxia, you only come up with a formula, and the rest of the things are all borne by my Red Flower Society, you want to share fifty percent of the benefits, this is impossible, my brothers of the Red Flower Society, will not agree." ”

When it comes to interests, Zhao Banshan and Wang Yue are the same, and they will not give an inch.

Wang Yue smiled slightly and said: "Zhao Sanye, you have to think clearly, this is the formula of snow salt, not an ordinary formula, and the benefits in it, even Emperor Qianlong, will covet it." I don't think it's much. ”

Zhao Banshan glanced at Wang Yue and said, "Wang Yue Shaoxia, the formula of snow salt is related to huge interests, but as long as snow salt appears on the market, the imperial court will definitely investigate it thoroughly." When the time comes, our Red Flower Society will directly face the encirclement and suppression of the entire imperial court, how big the pressure is, I think Wang Yue Shaoxia should also be able to guess. Therefore, we can only give up 10% of the benefits of the Red Flower Society. ”

Wang Yue sneered: "Yicheng interests? Zhao Sanye, are you joking? If there are only Yicheng interests, I might as well do it alone." The difficulties of the Red Flower Society, I, Wang Yue, can also understand, in this way, if I take another step, I need forty percent of the benefits. ”

In fact, Wang Yue knew that even if it was a benefit of Yicheng Xueyan, it would be a huge wealth, enough for Wang Yue and his sister to spend a few lifetimes.

But the benefits of this snow salt, Wang Yue also had to have other roles, so he had to earn it.

The two went toe-for-tat and bargained, and in the end, the benefits of snow salt were divided into thirty-seven. Wang Yue made a recipe and got 30% of the benefits; the Honghua Society contributed manpower and material resources to share 70% of the benefits, and also had to face the oppression and encirclement of the Manchu court.

But these days, for the sake of money, even private salt is made by someone, let alone snow salt. For the sake of money, there are people who are not afraid of killing their heads.

Sancheng interests can be regarded as the bottom line in Wang Yue's heart.

Wang Yue looked at Zhao Banshan and said, "Zhao Sanye is really good at bargaining, if Zhao Sanye goes to do business, he must make a steady profit." In that case, let's write a contract. ”

Wang Yue took out a pen and paper from the room and wrote down the contract of Xueyan's cooperation.

The contract written by Wang Yue was already a commercial contract in later generations, and it was much more detailed and standardized than the contract of the Qing Dynasty.

After writing the contract, Wang Yue said, "Third Master Zhao." This contract is in duplicate, and I and the Red Flower Society each ask for one copy. You see, there's something else that needs to be changed. ”

Zhao Banshan finished reading the contract. said: "The contract written by Wang Yue Shaoxia is very good, I don't have any opinions." ”

Wang Yue nodded and said, "But I have one more request, these two contracts need to be signed by Chief Helmsman Chen, Dustless Dao Master, and you Zhao Sanye at the same time, and press the handprint." to take effect. ”

Wang Yue didn't believe in Zhao Banshan, and the Red Flower Society was not Zhao Banshan's alone, if Chen Jialuo and the dust-free Daoist didn't sign. What happened to the Red Flower Society, Wang Yue was afraid that he would not receive the silver at all.

Zhao Banshan nodded and said, "This is nature." ”

Wang Yue signed his name on the two contracts, and then pressed his handprint: "Zhao Sanye, these two contracts." You take it all back. After Mr. Chen and Wuchen Dao sign it, you can return one copy to me. As long as I get the contract, the recipe for snow salt will naturally be delivered. By the way, when Zhao Sanye went back, he brought a little snow salt sample, so that he could convince Chief Chen and the dust-free road chief. ”

Zhao Banshan nodded. happily said: "Okay, just do what Wang Yue Shaoxia said." ”

Zhao Banshan didn't expect it. Wang Yue actually did things well.

At this time, Wang Jing bought wine and meat and came back.

After eating, Zhao Banshan took the contract and left the royal town.

Wang Jing asked: "Brother, what kind of person is Zhao Banshan, he looks very powerful." Also, what kind of organization is the 'Red Flower Society'?"

Wang Yue smiled: "Sister, don't ask about these things first." By the way, sister, in a few days, my Chinese patent medicine will be developed, and then I will have time to teach you your martial arts. ”

Wang Jing frowned: "Let me learn martial arts? I'm just an ordinary woman, I can't do anything like fighting, killing, and killing." ”

Wang Yue laughed loudly: "Sister, learning martial arts is not to fight and kill, but to strengthen your body and prolong your life." Sister, if you learn internal boxing, you can still keep your face and become more beautiful. ”

When Wang Jing heard that learning martial arts can make people more beautiful, his eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded: "In this case, then I will learn." ”

Wang Yue said secretly, it seems that every woman can't resist the temptation of youth.

..............................

Zhao Banshan returned to the Western Regions, and explained Wang Yue's thoughts to the Dustless Daoist, and finally took out the contract and snow salt samples.

The dustless Taoist looked at the contract and the snow salt sample, his face was extremely solemn, and said: "Third brother, with Wang Yue's martial arts, it is not a big deal to give him the position of guest secretary, but the interests of this snow salt are too great, and we must discuss it with Chief Helmsman Chen." ”

Zhao Banshan nodded and said: "I think so too, so I brought back two contracts, which need to be signed by the second brother and the chief helmsman, and press the handprint." ”

The dustless Taoist said, "Let's go." Let's go now and go to the Tianshan Mountains to find the chief helmsman. ”

Zhao Banshan and the dust-free Taoist chief rode on their horses and hurried overnight towards the Tianshan Mountains.

..................

Wuchen Daoist and Zhao Banshan rushed to Tianshan and arrived at Chen Jialuo's residence, but they only saw Huo Qingtong, but did not see Chen Jialuo.

"Dustless Dao Chief, Third Brother Zhao, why are you here?" Huo Qingtong was surprised to see the two of them coming to Tianshan.

Zhao Banshan asked: "Sister Qingtong, I don't know where the chief helmsman Chen is? My second brother and I came to Tianshan this time, but we have something important to find the chief helmsman." ”

Huo Qingtong was shocked in his heart, something important? Could it be that something happened to the Red Flower Society?

Huo Qingtong said: "Xianggong and the master are practicing in Tianchi, and at this time, they should also come back." ”

Suddenly, Huo Qingtong looked into the distance and said with a smile: "The master and Xianggong are back." ”

Dustless Daoist and Zhao Banshan, looking back, happened to see Yuan Shixiao and Chen Jialuo.

The dustless Taoist and Zhao Banshan hurriedly saluted: "I've seen my predecessors, I've seen the chief helmsman." ”

Yuan Shixiao is a peerless powerhouse, even with the martial arts of the dustless Dao master, in front of him, he does not dare to be presumptuous.

Chen Jialuo was also very happy to see the dustless Taoist and Zhao Banshan: "Dustless Taoist Chief, Third Brother Zhao, it's really good that you come to Tianshan." We haven't seen each other in a few days, so this time we're going to have a few drinks. ”

Chen Jialuo is handsome and delicate, like a scholar, and those who don't know his identity can't guess that he is the number one master of the Red Flower Society. When he laughed, it made people feel like a spring breeze.

Chen Jialuo said to Huo Qingtong: "Lady, you prepare well, cook some good dishes, I want to have a few drinks with the master and them today." ”

Huo Qingtong smiled: "Well, I'll go and prepare." ”

........................

At the banquet, Chen Jialuo, Yuan Shixiao, Wuchen Daochang, and Zhao Banshan drank happily. Zhao Banshan said his intention at this time, and he also told Wang Yue's matter again.

Chen Jialuo said: "I didn't expect that there would be young heroes like Wang Yue in the world. Third Brother Zhao, I agreed to Wang Yue's matter of becoming a guest of the Red Flower Society. ”

Zhao Banshan was relieved when he saw that Chen Jialuo had agreed to Wang Yue becoming a guest of the Red Flower Club, he was really afraid that Chen Jialuo would not agree.

Zhao Banshan took out the snow salt sample and the contract, and said: "Chief helmsman, this is the contract I wrote with Wang Yue Shaoxia, about the production of snow salt and the distribution of benefits, it is written on the contract, the chief helmsman will take a look, if there is anything unacceptable, I will talk to Wang Yue again." ”

Chen Jialuo tasted the snow salt, and after reading the contract, his heart became extremely heavy.

Huo Qingtong knew about the snow salt, but he was very happy, and said: "Xianggong, if our Red Flower Society has snow salt, there will be no shortage of silver in the future, and the brothers below will live a better life." With money, our great cause of fighting against the Qing Dynasty will also be much easier. ”

"Although Wang Yue asked for thirty percent of the benefits, but he became a guest of the Red Flower Society, and he can be regarded as half of his own person, when the time comes, we will persuade him well and tie him to the chariot of the Red Flower Society completely, isn't it okay? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Wang Yue can't become a member of my Red Flower Society, we are also friends. Seventy percent of the benefits of snow salt, we earned!"

What Huo Qingtong said, Chen Jialuo naturally knows, snow salt really appears on the market, and it will soon be popular all over the country, and it will deal a heavy blow to the salt tax of the imperial court at that time, and it will cause huge trouble to Emperor Qianlong.

Although Emperor Qianlong was the Emperor of the Manchu Dynasty, he was also his brother Chen Jialuo. For more than ten years, the reason why Chen Jialuo didn't care about the affairs of the Red Flower Society was because he took care of the brotherhood between Emperor Qianlong and himself.

"Master, what do you think about this matter?" Chen Jialuo asked Yuan Shixiao.

Chen Jialuo and Emperor Qianlong are brothers, and very few people know about it, except for Chen Jialuo himself, only Yuan Shixiao knows, and even Huo Qingtong doesn't know about it.

Yuan Shixiao sighed, he also knew Chen Jialuo's difficulties, and said: "Jialuo, you need to make your own decisions about this matter, and the teacher can't help you." ”

Chen Jialuo's eyes changed for a while, on the one hand, he was in the interests of the Red Flower Society, and on the other hand, he was his own brother, it was really difficult to choose.

Feeling the eager eyes of the dustless Taoist, Zhao Banshan, and Huo Qingtong, Chen Jialuo finally nodded and said, "I agreed to this matter." I'll sign it now, press the handprint. ”

Wuchen Daoist and Zhao Banshan stood up excitedly, hugged their fists and said, "Thank you Chief Helmsman!" (to be continued......)
