Chapter Thirteen
Li Xiao saw this deputy general named Gao Jin!
"I wonder what Gao Shen did when he came here?"
"Oh, it's just a business deal. Gao came here alone, shouldn't anyone here who has nothing to do with him also...!" Gao Jin looked around. In addition to him and Li Xiao, there were also Ao Canghai, Man Gui and
A few soldiers.
The North Korean king sent the girl over and did not leave after serving tea to Gao Jin. Instead, he stood behind Li Xiao!
Li Xiao waved his hand, and several soldiers walked out. Only Gao Jin, Li Xiao, Ao Canghai, Man Gui, and the North Korean maid were left in the room.
"These are all my brothers. If you have anything to say, you can speak directly."
"She doesn't know Chinese!" Li Xiao said with a smile when he saw Gao Jin looking behind Li Xiao.
"Okay! In this case, Gao will not beat around the bush. This time when I came to North Korea, although my commander-in-chief and my little brother had some dissatisfaction, they were all serving the imperial court, and now they are back. This...! There is no gain in this.
, I don’t look good on my face either. Look, isn’t it...!” After all, he was asking for help, so Gao Jin felt a little embarrassed.
"Do you want to buy heads?" Li Xiao is very familiar with this business. He started his business by selling heads. Now that he has customers, it's natural for him to tell the truth.
"Exactly, but my Lord General also wants to...! I also want to ask if Jueluobai Mountain is for sale. My Lord is willing to pay 20,000 taels of silver." Gao Jin held out two fingers.
Gao Jin felt like his heart was about to beat out of his chest. As long as this transaction could go through, he would be able to make a net profit of thirty thousand taels of silver! Who wouldn't want to get paid for their hard work these days?
"Oh!" Li Xiao leaned on the back of his chair, looked at Gao Jin with a smile and said nothing.
"Brother, you also know the situation in Liaodong. It's all the hard work of being a soldier. After successive defeats, almost all the family property was lost. To put it bluntly, the money was earned by eating empty quotas and drinking the blood of soldiers.
Twenty thousand taels of silver is really a lot." When Gao Jin saw Li Xiao starting to hesitate, he immediately cried.
Taking advantage of one's salary and drinking soldiers' blood is the only way to commit corruption in the army. It seems that all the generals in the Ming Dynasty did this, otherwise Gao Jin would not dare to say it blatantly.
Li Xiao felt sad for the people of the Ming Dynasty. How could such an army protect the country? The military officers only knew how to make money, and the military households became the officers' personal slaves. This is how the military household system promoted by Zhu Yuanzhang was crippled.
Collapsed.
With such a general, there is no need to talk about expelling the Tartars. The roots of this court are rotten. Even if there were no Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and no Tatars, the Ming Dynasty would have something else to overthrow this court that is rotten to the core.
.
"Twenty thousand taels of silver is a lot, but...! I won't sell it!" Li Xiao answered simply. If he gave it to Chen Hailong, a high-end product like Luo Baishan, this guy would go crazy with joy, and he would follow his wife if he thought he was his wife.
Li Xiao bought it.
Twenty thousand taels of silver, are you kidding? Do you really think I am a country bumpkin who has never seen the world?
"Brother, that's a lot! Do you want to think about it again?" Gao Jin was anxious. This was a big deal for both Zhao and him.
"Not for sale!" Li Xiao said, about to pick up the teacup on the table.
Seeing that Li Xiao was about to serve tea to the guests, Gao Jin immediately used a trick! After using this trick, I don’t know how many heroes would surrender. This trick is to add money!
"Thirty thousand!" Gao Jin shouted.
"Not for sale!" Li Xiao said lightly, making Gao Jin dumbfounded.
"Forty thousand!" This is already Gao Jin's bottom line, and if I add it, there will be no profit.
"Not for sale!" Li Xiao said still leisurely.
I felt my chair being touched, and when I looked back, I saw that the North Korean girl seemed to be fascinated by what she heard.
"Uh...!" Gao Jin had nothing to say this time. Only a devil is willing to do things that are not good for him. Since the middlemen are not allowed to make the difference, I won't play anymore.
"Okay! You can always sell some of the Tatar soldiers' heads!" Gao Jin said through gritted teeth.
"It's easy to say! The official price of the imperial court is fifty taels per head, so I'll triple the price and buy it for you. One hundred and fifty taels per head, it shouldn't be an embarrassment to your commander-in-chief!" If it had been someone else, Li Xiao might have
It was sold at one hundred taels per piece. After all, the price when sold to Chen Hailong was based on one hundred taels per piece.
But if you sell it to Zhao Shujiao, you have to kill him with a knife. This bastard's money will be wasted if he doesn't kill it.
"One hundred and fifty taels!" Gao Jin jumped up from his chair, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"Yes! One hundred and fifty taels, no child can be deceived." Li Xiao said with an evil smile on his face.
"This is too expensive. You can buy it for one hundred and fifty taels of silver...!"
"Even if one hundred and fifty taels of silver buys a gold mountain, I can sell a human head for so much. If you want to buy it, buy it, if you don't want to...! Hey! Hey! Gao Shen will leave it to you." Li Xiao said, "Hey"
"Hey" sneered.
When it comes to the business of buying human heads, looking at Liaodong, Li Xiao is like a scorpion. Other officers treat heads as if they are treasures, but only Li Xiao is willing to sell the heads of Tatars.
Besides, the officers in Liaodong were driven away like dogs by the Tatar soldiers. If they could capture a dozen heads, these Sun Tzu would dare to claim that they had wiped out hundreds of enemies. If they captured hundreds of heads at once, they would dare to claim that they had wiped out hundreds of enemies.
A great victory over thousands of enemies.
Wang Huazhen was promoted to the post of Liaodong Manager with the victory of Zhenjiang Fort. However, this unlucky manager was defeated by Nurhachi within a few days. Liaodong's defense line was pushed directly to Shanhaiguan. Since then, Liaodong has been abandoned without even a piece of land.
Wang Huazhen's house was confiscated and sent to jail because of this!
"Okay, I admit it. One hundred and fifty taels is one hundred and fifty taels, and I want three hundred heads." Gao Jin gritted his teeth and bought three hundred heads. At this price, he had very little room for manipulation.
. He could only earn fifty taels from one pill. He estimated that Zhao Shujiao would only buy three hundred pills.
"That's easy to say! I'll bring you the money tomorrow. I'll hand over the money here and deliver the goods at the same time. I'll get both the money and the goods!"
"Okay! I'll be here tomorrow, the money and goods are paid! Farewell!" The business was concluded, and Gao Jin was unwilling to sit down again. It was unfair for him, a general, to be on an equal footing with an unofficial person like Li Xiao.
It's an insult. But there's nothing we can do about it now, this is our place.
One day when I get my own one-third of an acre of land, I will make this kid look good.
"No!" Li Xiao bowed his hands to Gao Jingong and said that he didn't want to send it off but he still sent it to the door. The habit he had developed in the army for many years could not be changed for a while.
When he turned around, he saw the North Korean girl packing the tea cups. Li Xiao's eyes flickered!
"Rat!"
"ah……!!"
ps: The third update is here! Although it is a little less, I will try to have more tomorrow.
Today is thirty, please forgive me, old dragon.
