Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Cui Yigui snorted disdainfully, and said: "No matter how rampant the Salt Gang is, isn't it just a quack gang? Could it be that they dare to tell the government that they can't do it? You may not know that Chen Lang, the leader of the Salt Gang, is now Yangzhou's Captain Zhechong is the dog's leg picked up by Guo Ye, the governor of Yangzhou. Guo is notoriously cruel and ruthless wolf cub, if he says no, can Chen Lang do it against him?"

Paralyzed, Guo Ye secretly scolded Cui Yigui's ancestors for eighteen generations, did I provoke you to provoke you?Are you guilty of slandering Lao Tzu like this?

Cui Yigui didn't pay attention to Guo Ye's expression, and continued to talk eloquently: "After the Salt Gang was kicked out of Slender West Lake by the Yangzhou government, no one took over the management of Slender West Lake for the time being. But it is impossible for the government to let these Qinlou, Chuguan and The proprietors of the boats made a lot of money in silence, but it is not easy to directly pay tribute to them in the name of the government, which will damage their reputation. Therefore, the government thought of a way to make money once and for all without losing face."

Guo Ye was very cooperative and asked: "What method?"

Cui Yigui said: "If you want to say that the governor surnamed Guo is not only a ruthless wolf cub, but also a rich little fox. Tsk tsk, guess what? He actually thought of using the name of the government to make Slender West Lake and Slender West Lake The places around the radius are sold out, and then the owners of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion and Huafang will communicate with the buyers whether to renew the lease and open their doors for business.

Good guy, this saves the cumbersome procedures of paying tribute by tapping, and directly digs to the bottom with a hoe, and collects all the money for paying tribute in the next few decades.By doing this, not only did he collect all the money at one time, but he also saved the need to deal with the proprietors of the Qinlou Chuguan and Huafang, so as not to tarnish the reputation of the government, and also to avoid losing his reputation as the governor of Yangzhou. "

Guo Ye groaned, nodded and said, "This Governor Guo is very smart. It's a bad reputation to pay tribute. He turned decay into magic and turned it into a reasonable and legal rent. According to you That is to say, if he sells the Slender West Lake land, it should be dealt with at a low price, and it is impossible to calculate it according to the actual rental fee. Otherwise, the person who bought this land is really a fool."

"That's right!"

Cui Yigui nodded and said: "If there is no profit, who will buy this land to collect rent from those Qinlou Chuguan and Huafang? I heard that the Slender West Lake land is sold forever by the government at a price of 800 million taels. Tsk tsk, don't look 800 million taels of silver is an astronomical figure. But compared with the huge area of ​​Slender West Lake and the annual rent collected by Slender West Lake, it will definitely pay back within five years. The rent collected after five years is really innocent. Earn it! Ten years, 20 years, 30 years, my god, it's a lot of money."

Guo Ye also deliberately put on a greedy expression on his face, smacked his lips covetously and said: "This Governor Guo really gave up the big profit, buying out Slender West Lake for 800 million taels of silver, what is the difference between this and giving it away for nothing? But yes, if he opens his mouth like a lion, who in this world can afford this place? Benefits are shared, and it is better to be happy alone than to be happy together, this is the kingly way."

"Extremely great!"

Cui Yigui nodded and said: "I bought Slender West Lake for 800 million taels, and I will pay back the capital in five years. After five years, the annual rent alone will reach more than 100 million taels. And as long as you become the owner of this place, the rent will increase. Whether it is floating or not, the owner has the final say on how much it will increase? In less than ten years, the owner of the Slender West Lake will surely become a wealthy man. By that time, the richest man in Chang'an, Liang Wanwan, may not be enough to look at. Haha, what a lucrative deal. Fortunately, this piece of Slender West Lake has not been purchased from the government, and the news of the sale has not been leaked, so everyone has a chance."

After finishing speaking, Cui Yigui gave Guo Ye a meaningful look, as if implying something.

"There is no buyer yet?"

Guo Ye swallowed his saliva, made a deliberate noise, smacked his lips a few times, and asked Cui Yigui cautiously, "Cui Dong's family, where did you get this news, is it reliable?"

"Hehe, Wu Dong's family is worrying too much. We also have friends in the government. Don't forget that our Cui family in Qinghe is a famous family, a family of officials and eunuchs. How could it be possible that we don't have half a friend in the government?"

Cui Yigui raised his head arrogantly, and said: "And this news was obtained by Cui spending 5000 taels of white money, how can it be fake?"

Guo Ye opened his eyes wide, leaned closer with great interest, and asked in a low voice: "Cui Dong's family, can you tell me who is the person who gave you the news? Could it be the governor of Yangzhou's parents?"

Cui Yigui shook his head with a mysterious smile, and said: "Don't say it, you can't say it. The 5000 taels of silver is really dear to me. But I can buy this news, and it is not unfair at all."

Seeing this dick like this guy, Guo Ye said happily in his heart, good Chen Jitao, I let you play a trick, and you even took money from Cui Yigui's grandson.Grandma, when I go back, I will make you spit out the 5000 taels of silver, and they will all be confiscated.

Of course, this was just Guo Ye's joke. If Cui Yigui didn't spend the 5000 taels of silver, perhaps this grandson would not believe the reliability and authenticity of the news.

People are usually cheap.

You may be suspicious of the news you get for nothing, but if you get the news at a high price, you will definitely believe it.

This is human inertia, and it is also a common problem of smart people.

Immediately, Guo Ye glanced at Cui Yigui and asked, "Cui Dong's family, do you intend to make a move to take down this Slender West Lake?"

"I?"

Cui Yigui pointed to his nose in surprise, then smiled and said: "Wu Dong's family, didn't you just say that the benefits are shared, and that being alone is not as good as all being together is the kingly way? If Cui wants to eat this alone, so what?" Will I tell you the news of the pie in the sky?"

Guo Ye was amused in his heart, but his expression was still greedy, and he asked excitedly: "Is it possible that Cui Dong's family wants to recruit Wu to join the team? This is a bit interesting, but it's a pity that Wu's small family and business cost millions of taels of silver." I'm afraid the business is a little bit too much, but not enough!"

Cui Yigui waved his hand and said with a smile: "No hurry, Wu Dong's family, I have an idea, you should listen to me before making a decision."

"Okay, Mr. Wu is all ears, Mr. Cui, please tell me!"

As everyone knows, after Guo Ye finished saying this, the corners of Guo Ye's mouth curled up full of pride, and the brows became a little narrower. The way he looked at Cui Yigui was just like Grandma Wolf looking at the silly and innocent Little Red Riding Hood.

Chapter 827 Cui Yigui is not an ordinary loss

"Cough cough..."

Cui Yigui covered his mouth and coughed dryly twice, glanced at Guo Ye, and asked in a low voice: "Wu Dong's family, you've got to tell me, do you really want to take this Slender West Lake down?"

Guo Ye stared back at Cui Yigui with sincere eyes, nodded heavily, and said, "Dongjia Cui, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. I really want to, even dreaming. I will pay back in five years." , after ten years, you will be able to earn a lot of money, earning a fortune that rivals the country, who wouldn't want to? But..."

"Don't be so, as long as Wu Dong's family has this kind of thought, that's enough!"

Cui Yigui interrupted the last half of Guo Ye's sentence, and said directly: "Since you want to, why don't you and I join forces to eat this Slender West Lake? Hehe, these days, the timid and the bold are starved to death, you How about I join hands to make a big deal?"

Guo Yehu questioned: "You mean that Wu and your Qinghe Cui family will join forces to take down the Slender West Lake?"

Cui Yigui suddenly looked embarrassed, waved his hands, and said, "It's not joining forces with Cui Shi of Qinghe, but joining forces with Cui and I. Do Wu Dong's family understand what I mean?"

Guo Ye somewhat guessed the smallness in this grandson's heart, but he pretended to be confused and asked in a daze: "Aren't you a child of the Qinghe Cui family? Is there any difference between joining forces with you or the Qinghe Cui family?" ?”

"Uh……"

Cui Yigui was even more embarrassed by Guo Ye's rhetorical question. He subconsciously glanced at the direction of the door and window, then lowered his voice and said, "There is a difference, and the difference is still very big. I mean, in my own name, I secretly communicated with you." You teamed up, not in the name of the entire Qinghe Cui family. And the matter of me joining forces with you, ahem... must be kept low-key and concealed, and cannot be spread, especially not let the Qinghe family know. Now, Wu Dong's family should understand Is Choi's real meaning?"

Understood!

Guo Ye still can't hear the mystery in Cui Yigui's words at this time, so it's really a waste of time.

Cui Yigui, the son of affection, wants to hide from Qinghe Cui's side and eat alone, tsk tsk, I really underestimated him.

Immediately, Guo Ye looked suddenly enlightened, nodded thoughtfully and said: "Wu understands what Cui Dong's family means."

Cui Yigui was naturally overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly asked: "How is it? Is Dong Wu's family willing to join hands with Cui to take over the land of Slender West Lake?"

Guo Ye naturally nodded repeatedly and said he was willing, but he pretended to sigh helplessly, shook his head and said: "But without the support of Qinghe Cui's family, Cui Dong's family thinks that we can get 800 million taels of money just by you and me." Silver? Difficult, difficult..."

Cui Yigui's face was startled, and he said: "Well, it's up to people, I wonder how much money Wu Dong's family can come up with?"

Cui Yigui looked at Guo Ye expectantly. He thought in his heart that since the surname Wu is a big family in Qianzhou in the middle of Shu, and the business is so big, he can even get through the Cao Gang in the middle of Shu, especially when he is making money for private salt this month. Went to Shuzhong and made another fortune, presumably the family is very rich.

He thought, as long as he borrowed money from Wu Maocai, a country bumpkin in the middle of Sichuan, and then made a fool of himself, and finally offered a little money, he would definitely get [-] to [-]% of the share.

At least this news from the Yangzhou government was obtained by spending a lot of money to find out, so it should be counted as intangible assets anyway?

Therefore, he was looking forward to the other party's self-disclosure.

And what about Guo Ye?

He is also a fine individual, Cui Yigui played his wishful thinking, how could he not figure it out until now?Otherwise, he had spent so much effort to design this game that he would really be in vain.

However, there was one thing that was beyond his expectation. He originally wanted to use Cui Yigui to bring the Qinghe Cui family into the game.But who would have thought that Cui Yigui's grandson would be so ambitious that he would kick Qinghe Cui's family away and go it alone.It seems that this grandson is also a restless master, and his plans are very big.

He looked at Cui Yigui's Qi Yi's eyes, pondered for a while, and said directly: "Cui Dong's family, the most I can come up with is this amount."

After all, he raised his right index finger.

"One...one million taels...that's all?"

Cui Yigui looked at Guo Ye in disbelief, and asked with disappointment in his eyes: "Wu Dong's family, you have made a lot of private salt this time, and you have bought a lot of property in Yangzhou, and didn't you say that your Wu family is in Qianzhou, in the middle of Shu?" Are you doing business for generations? You can even get through the Cao Gang, so why can you only take out 100 million taels of silver?"
