Although the anti-bandit operation went smoothly, most people in the security team were not very satisfied with the operation.
Except for the gunners, no one fired a single shot.
Not interesting!
It’s so boring!
Looking at the bandits surrendering one by one, Zhu Chuanwu wanted to go up and ask, why are you so cowardly?
Aren't you bandits?
Why are you so timid?
Are you scared enough to surrender after just two shots?
Is it a shame?
However, Zhu Chuanwu could only dare to say these words in his heart, because his elder brother was still at the scene, and he did not dare to say these words in front of his elder brother.
Otherwise, even if he is the eldest brother's biological brother, he probably will not be able to escape the punishment of the regulations.
After all, this is a battlefield. Although this battlefield is a bit of a joke, no matter how playful it is, it is still a battlefield in essence, and you must abide by the regulations.
Because the bandits were so cooperative, the entire operation went very smoothly, including the subsequent search.
In order to save his life, Old Bat happily handed over all the property in the village.
Seeing that the other party knew each other so well, Li Jie couldn't help but feel a little impressed.
In fact, before setting off, Li Jie had already decided where Old Bat would go. He had no intention of sending Old Bat to the government because there was no reward for Old Bat at all.
Even if I send Old Bat over, I still won't get any money.
In this case, why would Li Jie send him to the official position?
Of course, Li Jie had no intention of taking him under his wing. After all, this guy was quite old. With the intensity of training of the security team, he would definitely not be able to keep up.
But it's a pity to just let the old bat go.
Therefore, Li Jie finally decided to send Lao Bat to Lao Jingou.
Laojingou is a treasure land, and gold mining is just one of its many advantages. In addition, the mountains and forests near Laojingou are full of various medicinal materials.
Before entering the dungeon, Li Jie had made a plan to build a medicinal materials workshop near Laojingou to specialize in the production of various Chinese patent medicines.
Regardless of ancient or modern times, Chinese patent medicines are a hugely profitable industry. Selling finished decoctions is much more profitable than simply selling raw materials.
In addition, the Nenjiang Plain is not far from Laojingou. As long as someone has money, the land there is completely free. If used properly, with the natural conditions of the Nenjiang Plain, it will certainly not be a problem to feed tens of thousands of people.
In the future, Beidahuang will definitely become Beidacang!
At noon, all members of the security team returned. This time, they returned with a full load. Although Erlongshan could not get on the stage, they had seized a lot of property.
A total of 5,000 kilograms of grain, 100 taels of gold, 1,000 taels of gold, and jewelry, antiques, calligraphy, and paintings worth 2,000 to 3,000 taels of gold were seized this time.
The security team who returned in triumph were not only warmly received by members of the Chamber of Commerce, but the people of Yuanbao Town also burst out with considerable enthusiasm.
At the noon celebration banquet, Qiu Song took the initiative to find Li Jie with everyone.
"Heroes come from young. My little brother fought beautifully today!"
"Where, where, our security team is what it is today, thanks to the care of all the bosses. Without your strong support, there would be no security team today, and the military medals are half of yours!"
"Ha ha!"
Everyone carried the sedan chair, and then Qiu Song and Li Jie complimented each other a few words. After chatting, Qiu Song clapped his hands.
"Bring it up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two strong men came to the venue carrying an antique wooden box.
The steps of the two strong men were very heavy, and it was obvious at first glance that the weight of the wooden box was unclear. Seeing this, Li Jie couldn't help but secretly wonder, which song is this song about?
Pay premium?
It shouldn't be.
Although the three thousand oceans are not clear, it will not be so strenuous for two strong men.
Noticing the confusion on Li Jie's face, Qiu Song smiled faintly and gave instructions to the servant.
"Open!"
Once the box was opened, the contents inside were exposed to everyone's eyes.
silver!
A box full of silver ingots!
Li Jie took a rough glance and realized that the value of this box of silver ingots was definitely more than three thousand oceans. Then he looked at Qiu Song aside with doubt.
"This is?"
Qiu Song smiled and explained: "This is this year's premium, a total of five thousand taels of silver."
Hearing this number, Li Jie couldn't help but be stunned. The value of a piece of ocean was approximately equal to 0.6 taels of silver. The value of 5,000 taels of silver was already far more than the agreed premium.
"This money, after deducting this year's 5,000 ocean insurance premiums, the rest is paid by me personally. It can be regarded as the advance payment of the Qiu family for 'protection'. In the future, the security work of the Qiu family's caravan will be a trouble for my little brother!"
The reason why Qiu Song spread money so generously was naturally for a purpose.
He made this decision on the spur of the moment today. This morning, he was really surprised by the security team who enforced the prohibition.
In his eyes, the Yuanbao Town security team is simply more elite than the Qing army in Fengtian!
So, he thought that the security team must recruit more people and start guarding work as soon as possible.
And the extra money he paid was a stepping stone, and he planned to use this money to bring the two parties closer.
Although this will take up some funds, Qiu Song believes that it is worth it. It will also cost money to hire security teams to escort the caravan in the future anyway.
Li Jie cupped his hands and said, "Okay! This live security team has taken over!"
…
…
…
The celebration banquet ended at three o'clock in the afternoon. At today's banquet, Li Jie was the undisputed centerpiece. After seeing Qiu Song's generosity, the remaining members of the chamber of commerce also paid more attention to the security team.
Therefore, Li Jie became the target of everyone's "fire". Most of the prominent people in Yuanbao Town came to his table to toast him with a glass of wine.
After going back and forth, even with Li Jie's drinking capacity, he couldn't help but feel a little tipsy.
After the banquet, Zhu Chuanwu came over with a bowl of hangover soup and expressed concern.
"Brother? Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Li Jie waved his hand and asked, "Where is the old bat? Where is he?"
Chuanwu pointed to the backyard: "It's locked in the wing in the backyard."
"Let's go and have a look."
Li Jie nodded, then walked towards the backyard.
At the same time, the old bat in the wing couldn't help but feel uneasy when he thought about what happened today. He had not seen the leader of the other party since he was captured, and he didn't know what the other party would do with him.
Squeak!
Just as he was thinking wildly, the door of the wing suddenly opened. After seeing the identity of the visitor, Old Bat's eyes suddenly lit up.
If there is no mistake, this young man is the leader of the security team.
Just when the old bat was secretly thinking about how to kneel down and lick the other person, a voice without any emotion suddenly came into his ears.
