Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 288: Kong Menglong
"Stingy..." After Gui Bugui smiled, he said to the group of people who were in charge of the Middle Earth around him: "I'm afraid the future life of the princes will not be very good. The first step is to cancel the tax exemption. I am afraid there are still the next steps. If there is any increase in taxes and levies, the apportioners should prepare for the money in advance.”
Suddenly hearing this news, these stewards were well prepared. They had heard about the Quanzhou Wharf early in the morning. Although Wu Mian was not the owner of the Mi Shui, he and Gui's old owner were inseparable from each other. The emperor could not avoid the anger of the Surabaya.
However, Wu Mian and Gui Bu Gui are still immortal characters, and the emperor should also avoid conflict with the Mi Shui. After a year and a half, perhaps the emperor still has time to change his mind.
At this time, a senior steward named Sulu in Middle Earth stood up and said to Guibugui with a smiling face: "What the boss said, we are all from the Sishui ship. In previous years, there was no imperial court. Taking care of the business is also done in this way, but it will be taxed in the future, and it is nothing. You don’t have to worry about the old owner, what you did in the previous business will still be done in the future. It’s nothing…”
At this time, Sun Xiaochuan also smiled and said, "Xiaochuan, I like to hear what Lao Su said. Tax exemption is only a matter of the past two years, why? Didn't we do the same business without tax exemption a few years ago?"
A few words from the former owner made the other stewards agree with them. Only Liu Xi glanced at these people, then silently walked to the side of the return and said: "Old man, the tax-free thing is Small, but will the emperor spread this fire on the women of the Shao family in the capital? I heard that the marriage of Miss Shao family has been given to the grandson Zhu Zhanji, now it will not be difficult for the women of the Shao family?"
"It's hard to talk about, but this marriage is 80% yellow." After Gui Bugui smiled, he continued: "But then again, even if this marriage is not yellow now, the white-haired one will be in a few days. I'm going to spoil it. Not everyone is happy to be the emperor's granddaughter-in-law. Now that's fine, I'll have to make a special trip back to the land."
"Then, old man, you should prepare to move the business of the Sishui ship from the land." Liu Xi didn't care whether he returned to drink or not, after filling him a glass of wine, he continued: "Da Ming Zhong Farmers and merchants, plus the emperor canceled the tax exemption, the officials below will be wrong, and it will inevitably be more difficult for us Sishui. If I want to, I will gradually withdraw from the business of Sishui. His successor is no longer difficult for businessmen, and it will not be too late for the Surabaya to return to Middle-earth."
Because of years of wars, the business of the Mi Shui has often withdrawn from Middle-earth. Originally thought that now Guotai Min'an can finally go back to continue doing business, but because of the new owner, the emperor may have to turn against the Surabaya. Liu Xi still suggested to Guibugui that the buyer and seller should exit China and wait for the change.
Liu Xi didn't want to hide the other Chinese stewards, and what he said was related to the wealth of these people. At the moment, the middle-earth stewards, including Sulu, stopped what they were doing. Pricked up his ears and listened to the answer. If this old guy obeyed Liu Xi's suggestion, the sale of the Surabaya could pull out the Middle Earth, and they couldn't leave. You can only change employers, or return to your hometown to farm for a living.
"It's not that serious" After returning home and smiling, he continued to say to Liu Xi: "The business of the Sishui ship has ceased, so why not other companies? If they can continue in the Middle Earth, our Sishui ship will do it. Can't do it? Your Highness, you have been timid over the years... Even if the emperor really wants to get rid of the Surabaya, I have a way to deal with it."
After hearing these words, the stewards of Middle-earth put their hearts down. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the moment, and then began to toast the new owner's return under the leadership of Su Lu. Although the old guy does not eat and drink, it is always okay to drink some wine.
While a group of stewards were around to toast, another steward came in. After his eyes swept around the crowd, he came to the front of Guibugui, and said with a smile: "Master, Wu Mianxian, Bai Wuqiu and Ren San are back. Their boat is about to arrive at the pier. Do you want to go out and greet the old man..."
"A few of them should have returned a long time ago." Gui Bugui was surrounded by stewards and couldn't sit still, and the old guy took this opportunity to stand up from his seat. He smiled at brothers Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan, and said, "The white-haired face is sour. He cannot be allowed to pick out the fault. You two accompany the old man to the pier and let me blow the sea breeze."
At the moment, Gui Bugui left the stewards at the guest house, and he came to the wharf with Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan. At this time, I saw that the boat I was riding on that day had arrived at the pier, and now the boat was docking, and the guys at the pier respectfully tied the cable to the pier. Then Wu Mian walked off the boat with two monsters.
In addition to the three of them, there was a man dressed as an alchemist on the boat. The man followed Wu Mian and kept saying something with his smiling face. However, the white-haired man still didn't have a good face, ignored him, and walked over towards Guibugui.
I really miss Wu Mian and Guibugui, they both forgot the incident when the white-haired man pushed the old guy into the water. When they met again, the two of them were still the same as usual. Wu Mianai ignored the answer. He said, "You guys came back two days ago. I slept a lot when I came back. You just came back... This little brother is an alchemist? Haven't seen it at Xu Fu before? A new disciple?"
"Old man, are you the old senior who does not return? The alchemist Kong Menglong has seen the old senior." When speaking, the alchemist named Kong Menglong bowed to Guibugui, and then he continued: "I have been a dream dragon all my life. I wanted to be an alchemist, and I had seen Dafangshi Volcano before. The old man said that he had no relationship with me as a master and apprentice. In desperation, Menglong went to the sea and wanted to worship at the door of Dafangshi Xu Fu. He just met a bandit at sea. Man, luckily I met a few seniors..."
This guy named Kong Menglong is a son of a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River. When he was young, he met a disciple of the volcano and came to stay at home. The Kong family's family was a little slow to treat this person, and now he showed a few spells in front of everyone. First, a peach pit was planted, and it only took a stick of incense to grow into a hundred fruit tree. There are melons, pears and peach fruits on the tree. Kong Menglong also ate a peach. He still remembers the sweetness of it.
Then that person called for wind and rain again, and found a hundred-zhang-long dragon and gods in the sky. The Kong family was stunned at this hand, and they dared not underestimate this surnamed Kong, who had good wine, good food and good hospitality.
On that day, Kong Menglong had plans to become an alchemist. At that time, he wanted to worship under the disciples of the volcano, and he wanted to be a disciple and grandson of the master of the volcano. However, this alchemist did not dare to teach apprentices without authorization, but he was still under the entanglement of Kong Menglong, and he was in the master of the Kong family for two more days. Teachers coexist in this matter.
Later, the disciple of the volcano took Kong Menglong to see his master, but the volcano looked at Kong Menglong and said that he had no fate with his disciple. The one who can accept him as a disciple must be a more powerful person. Kong Menglong would be wrong, thinking that the volcano was hinting that he wanted to accept him as a disciple. Immediately he knelt on the ground to worship this great master. Unexpectedly, the volcano would not accept him, so Kong Menglong had no choice but to return home.
The more Kong Menglong thought about it, the more wrong it became. The volcano could personally say that his master was a pretty incredible alchemist. If it weren't for the volcano, then only Guangren and Xu Fu would be left. It's just the relationship between Master Guangren and Master Volcano. Even if it's not a volcano or Guangren, then the only big man left is Xu Fu...
Now Kong Menglong stole a large sum of money from his home, bought a fishing boat at the pier, and hired a few guys to drive the boat. I want to kill myself and grab the silver taels from him...
