Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 44: Dark hands

Sighing and reading the letter, the yellow-haired man smiled wryly and shook his head endlessly. The two people beside him were confused. Lu Man, what the **** is going on? Look at your little face, what made you so difficult?"

"What good thing can there be? Master Xiao's letter will have good things? Besides asking for money, is it money?" Lu Man scratched the somewhat messy yellow hair on his head, squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying: " Mr. Xiao probably only has money in his eyes. In addition to asking me to pay the full amount of taxes and fees that will be handed over to the special administrative region finance in the second quarter, the letter also asks me to pay the proceeds from selling iron ore shares that I have accumulated so hard. Fifty percent has to be handed over, and he said there is no room for negotiation! Does he want the people of our Shuangdui mansion to live? Damn, didn’t he agree that it will all belong to our Shuangdui mansion’s treasury? The style of the boss!"

"Hehe, you were tricked by Master Xiao again? Do you think you're trying to get away with two dollars? Don't dream, I think Master Xiao is thinking about it in his dreams?" The bearded man is naturally the Shuangdui Security Division He Lianbo, the head of the division, took a deep puff of the cigar in his mouth, two puffs of light blue smoke spewed out from his nostrils, curled up in the room, nodded and smiled gloatingly.

"He Lianbo, why are you so virtuous? Shuangdui Mansion has no money, and you, the security division, will it be better? Damn, don't comfort me, and even make sarcastic remarks here? Boss Liang, tell me This guy is hateful, is he smoking a top-quality cigar that he just stole from my private study?" The yellow-haired man was furious, and complained resentfully to the plain-clothes man who sat on the left without saying a word.

"Well, yes, don't give it to him next time, this guy is really outrageous." Probably because he was used to the verbal war between the two, the handsome man grinned and comforted, "But I was thinking Probably the Northwest side is really suffocating too much. My lord has mobilized more than 100,000 troops to solve the siege of Jielock. If it comes down to it, the cost will definitely not be able to bear the current finances of Northwest County alone, if Mr. Xiao doesn’t seek support from the various governments below, is he going to rob or steal?”

"But he's too ruthless, and he's going to pay half of it all at once. I've worked so hard to get it. I planned to invest in the construction of a government-run iron factory, but now it's all gone. "Lu Man still felt a little distressed, and said unwillingly, smacking his lips.

"Hey, don't cry poor in front of us. I don't know who is planning for the wasteland in the south next to the Luzon border? It is said that it is the first-class fertile land for growing coffee. If it weren't for bandits Rampant, I’m afraid it has been developed long ago? Two days ago, what did some fat planters from Luzon come here to do? Aren’t they planning to buy the so-called wasteland? It is said to be wasteland, and now the price of imperial coffee continues to rise. Upward, once coffee is planted, it can really be said to be a big treasure." Liang Chongxin looked at the yellow-haired man with a half-smile, blinked and smiled.

The yellow-haired man obviously didn't expect that the other party even knew the news, he was speechless, and was speechless for a while.

"Well, what's more, although the rich iron mine in the north has sold its shares, I heard that several small-scale iron mines can still be built next to it. I don't know who wants to sell it in the chamber of commerce. Those mining rights? I heard that the gang of merchants are scrambling to find ways around?" Liang Chongxin flashed a secret smile on his face, and glanced at the dumbfounded Lu Man, before leaning back slightly. , raised Erlang's legs comfortably and continued leisurely: "Could it be that the Shuangdui Autonomous Government wants to sell those mining rights for free? When did Lao Lu become so generous?"

"That's enough, Boss Liang, Uncle Liang, I'm convinced, okay?" Lu Man wailed like a puppy whose tail was stepped on, and jumped up from the seat all at once, baring his teeth and bowing again and again, "You mustn't leak the news to Mr. Xiao and they know about it. Otherwise, he will be ruthless again, and our plan for Shuangdui Mansion will really come to naught."

"Haha, Boss Liang, it's better for you, you stepped on this kid's painful foot, look at his appearance, ha ha." He Lianbo couldn't help pointing at the yellow-haired man with a bitter smile Laugh, very happy.

Not responding to He Lianbo, the yellow-haired man, Lu Man, the city guard of Shuangdui Prefecture, begged bitterly: "Boss Liang, I mean it, the whole group of people in Shuangdui Prefecture still rely on these two tricks." Well, if you have any request, just ask for it and raise your hand, okay?"

"Hehe, bribe, um, tonight's dinner is settled, Lu Man, I guess you can't hide it all the time, Mr. Li is very well informed." Liang Chongxin shook his head and smiled.

"Whatever, keep it a secret for a while. After they know it, I can always use it for a while. As long as you don't reveal it, hehe, maybe you can hide it." Lu Man also knew that he wanted to hide it. It's not easy to live in, but I still feel lucky, "By the way, Boss Liang, let's not talk about the mine, how did you know about the coffee plantation in the south?"

Lu Man was puzzled by this question, and even He Lianbo was very interested, "Yes, Boss Liang, we haven't heard anything about this matter, how did you know?"

"Hehe, have you dug up the roots?" Liang Chongxin said with a smile, "If you want to know, how about adding another dinner tomorrow?"

"Deal!" Luman gritted his teeth and accepted the other party's blackmail. He couldn't sleep well without asking to know the inside story.

"It's simple. Two days ago, I went to the government-run iron workshop to forge a sword. I saw that it was very busy there. I asked by the way. It turns out that the wasteland in the south needs to be reclaimed and a lot of farm tools are needed. The owner of the Luzon plantation came to see the goods, so I just asked a few more questions, it's as simple as that." Liang Chongxin happily told the ins and outs of the matter.

"It's that simple?" Lu Man and He Lianbo both looked at each other, and Lu Man couldn't help but said, "Those idiots wouldn't even come up with the matter of buying wasteland all at once? I told them specifically. "

"Hey, who are you, Mr. Lu? How can I still not understand that you will make money-losing business?" Liang Chongxin blinked and asked back.

Luman shook his head and was speechless, while Helian Bo laughed.

"However, the northwest side is quite tense now. Otherwise, Xiao Tang would not easily break his promise. It would probably be very difficult. Your lord is using a large number of troops again. It is necessary for you to support me more, old Lu. After all, our side is still calm. We are too weak to do it." Liang Chongxin sighed softly, why didn't he want to go back to the northwest to go to the front line, but the northern Lusong was just settled, and the Shuangdui garrison division hadn't recovered its strength yet, so the first division was indeed needed to stabilize the people's hearts. He can only accept reality.

"Boss Liang, in fact, we can help and work hard." He Lianbo said with a sinister smile, Linghu Yi's departure made him suffocate. Of course, he was full of complaints when his right-hand man was taken away, but Master Li personally named Linghu Yi as the head of the newly established Military Intelligence Bureau, which is also a great respect for Linghu Yi, of course he would not stop him, but such a He Lianbo was dissatisfied with Yan Tong, the chief of staff of the Northwest Independent Cavalry Division, who had been appointed as his deputy. one of the reasons.

"Oh? Helian, what are you talking about?" Liang Chongxin also looked at this seemingly rough-looking and delicate colleague in surprise. He knew that the other party would not be aimless, so he must have some thoughts, "What do you think? Come and listen."

Even Lu Man's attention was attracted all of a sudden, and a pair of dark gray eyes stared at He Lianbo, obviously wanting to hear what this guy had in mind.

"Hey, what is the most troublesome thing for Mr. Li now? Isn't it the lack of money? Then let's find some ways to help Mr. Li get some money. This can be regarded as helping Mr. Li to solve his problems?" He Lian Bo replied with a smile.

"Nonsense! Who doesn't know that what we lack in the Northwest is money! But where does the money come from? This Shuangdui mansion is left to us to work hard, and the economy here will take two or three years to bear fruit ~IndoMTL.com~ This will increase the tax revenue accordingly, if you want to get money at once, you have to steal it!" Before Liang Chongxin could speak, Lu Man interrupted He Lianbo's words angrily.

"Old Lu is really good, he guessed my idea right away, hehe, you are indeed an old brother!" He Lianbo praised with a thumbs up feigning surprise.

"Did I guess right? What did I guess right?" Luman asked with his eyes wide open, confused.

"Huh? Didn't you say to steal and rob?" He Lianbo asked with a wicked smile, "This is our good idea."

"Steal and rob? How to steal and how to rob?" Lu Man was furious when he heard that, "Are you kidding me?"

"Who is playing with you? It was meant to be stolen! Otherwise, where will the money come from?" He Lianbo smiled wickedly, but looked at Liang Chongxin who had been sitting beside him and hadn't spoken.

"Boss Liang, you..." Lu Man was also a little surprised, but he saw that this colleague who was responsible for the military defense of the entire Northern Luzon had a pensive look on his face, and he didn't speak for a long time, obviously thinking wearing something.

"Well, the idea is good, but there are still too many things to discuss here. It can't be done casually, and it might be self-defeating." After a while, Liang Chongxin pinched the beard on his chin Zhua slowly nodded slightly.

"Hehe, Boss Liang, at least it means that my way is at least feasible, right?" He Lianbo rubbed his hands, a little excited, looking eager to try, and laughed loudly: "As for the others, everything else is fine. You can take your time to calculate and calculate. You are not afraid of opportunities. I have never heard of it, and I am not afraid of thieves stealing it. I am afraid that thieves will think about it. It is their blessing that I, He Lianbo, think about it, haha!"
