Summary of the previous chapter: Hua Yue proposed to integrate the factions in Caogang, but Ma Xiaoquan thought it would be better to provoke the two major factions...
When Ma Xiaoquan woke up, Hua Yue had already woken up and had prepared breakfast. 0.100~10,000\xiao! said
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and stretched out his hand to take it. Hua Yue slapped the back of his hand and said angrily: "Go and wash it first. It's true, after getting up, your mouth really stinks."
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, covered his mouth and walked out of the bedroom.
Outside the bedroom, two servants saw Ma Xiaoquan coming out and quickly surrounded him.
Ma Xiaoquan frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
A tall servant headed by "Sir" took two steps forward and said respectfully, "Sir, there is someone making trouble over there at the construction site."
Ma Xiaoquan glanced at the tall servant, and happened to meet the tall servant's sneaky eyes. Their eyes met, and the tall servant quickly lowered his head.
"Oh, are you making trouble?" Ma Xiaoquan said politely, "Which faction are you from, Henan or Fujian?"
The tall servant was stunned and did not dare to speak.
Ma Xiaoquan put his hand on the tall man's shoulder, and the gravity super power was activated instantly. The tall servant felt as if his shoulders were bearing a bag of salt weighing a hundred kilograms, which was extremely heavy.
With a "pop" sound, the tall servant was finally overwhelmed and knelt down in front of Ma Xiaoquan.
Only then did Ma Xiaoquan let go of his hand with satisfaction and said: "No matter you are from Henan or Fujian, you have to solve your own affairs yourself. Do you understand?"
"My lord...don't understand what you mean?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "I just want to collect money normally. As for other things, you can handle it yourself. Go back to your boss. I have a banquet this afternoon and invite him to attend. Of course,
It’s okay not to attend, no matter you are from Henan or Fujian, if any of you cannot come, my banquet will continue as usual, of course, there will be consequences..."
The tall man stood up in a hurry and said, "Yes, I understand, I'll leave."
As soon as the tall man left, the M..com brothers behind him also withdrew. Ma Xiaoquan watched those people leave and shook his head with a wry smile.
The door opened with a creak, and Hua Yue came out. She also heard the conversation between Ma Xiaoquan and the tall servant just now.
"What? Are you here to ask for it again?" Hua Yue asked slowly.
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Yeah, but that's fine. I'll hold a banquet for them this afternoon."
"Then are they willing to come?" Hua Yue asked worriedly.
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "I'm definitely willing to come, and I'll come even if I don't want to, hehe."
Hua Yue looked at Ma Xiaoquan in confusion, shook his head and said, "What the hell are you thinking about?"
Ma Xiaoquan rolled his eyes and said, "Sister Yue'er, please help me write a few invitations. Not only do the two major factions want to invite, but other factions also want to invite!"
Hua Yuetou: "Okay, I'll go now"
...
Caobang, Henan faction.
"Boss, the chief steward has asked someone to send you an invitation."
On the leader's seat, a thin man hummed and said, "Bring it up."
After receiving the invitation, the thin man opened it and read it over. He smiled and shook his head and said: "This new general manager is not an easy person. He wants to entertain me. It would be interesting..."
There were several subordinates standing under the thin man, and a fat man among them said: "Boss, is this chief steward trying to imitate Hongmen Banquet and secretly stumbling upon us?"
The thin man smiled and said, "I was also thinking, well, Zhang Er, please send more people to guard outside the chief steward's banquet hall. Once you hear the sound of glasses being smashed, lead people to rush in. I understand."
?”
"Yes, boss"
...
Caobang, Fujian faction.
"The new chief steward of Masan wants to entertain me?"
"Well, yes, I have the boss's invitation here. I was afraid there would be a problem, so I read it first."
"Hmph, you are very considerate, so I'll just go there."
"Boss, what if the manager is ambushing me?"
"Ambush? Well, you seem to have the intention of the Hongmen Banquet. In this way, you trick people, tease the guy, wait outside the banquet hall, and once you hear the sound of glasses being smashed, rush in."
"It's the boss"
...
The leaders of the Cao Gang and other factions gathered together.
"Hey, it's been a few months since the manager came here, and he just thought of entertaining us?"
"Yes, yes, is your manager trying to stop me from continuing my work?"
"This is not good. Look at what the two major factions in Henan and Fujian are doing. To be honest, if this continues, we won't have anything to eat."
"Yes, yes"
"Hush, sound, the heart has ears through the wall."
...
"Then shall we go? The invitations have been sent."
"Oh, to be honest, I don't know how to read, but I can get a rough idea. Well, let's go. After all, we are barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, right?"
"Well, okay, if you go, I will go too."
"Okay, then we'll go too."
...
At noon, Ma Xiaoquan was handling official business in the study. A tall man opened the door and got in without knocking.
Ma Xiaoquan seemed to be aware of the man's arrival. He did not raise his head and continued busy with his work.
"How's it going?" Ma Xiaoquan lowered his head and asked while writing.
A man said respectfully: "Sir, the leaders of several factions have already agreed to your banquet."
"Oh?" Ma Xiaoquan raised his eyebrows, put down his pen, and raised his head, "Really? Very good. You did a good job. Go and get the reward."
"Thank you, sir." The man bowed, "Sir, there is one more thing."
"Yeah, right"
"It seems that people from Henan and Fujian sects are secretly ambushing you outside your banquet hall."
"Oh, okay, I understand, please step back."
"yes"
...
Just as the man left, Hua Yue walked out from behind the screen.
"They actually planned to ambush outside the banquet hall? Do they want to commit the following crime?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "That's not possible. They are not stupid. Killing an official of the imperial court is a capital crime."
"Even so, the previous ones were either forced to leave, or were killed halfway after leaving..."
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "When will I leave on my own? If the factional disputes in Salt Transport are not settled, Salt Transport's business will not be able to proceed, and my road to business supremacy will not be able to start..."
"
"The road to business supremacy?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Copper mines and salt transportation are just the prerequisite. In the later stage, I will take in half of the world's income."
"Is this...is this possible?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "Of course it's possible, but I can never run out of money, and I have limits. After all, this world... will be in chaos for a while..."
Hua Yue said in surprise: "You mean, the Ming Dynasty will..."
Ma Xiaoquan stretched out his hand and made a whisper. Hua Yue understood and nodded.
"Don't worry, I will tell you soon, so that your Hua family can have some breathing time. But... the world was in such chaos, and your Hua family can stand still, so I guess you have your own
A set of rules for escaping from the world, right?"
Hua Yuetou.
"That's not bad." Ma Xiaoquan stood up, walked to the window, and murmured, "Hey, I really want to go back."
...
In the afternoon, Ma Xiaoquan was waiting in the banquet hall on time. Everything was ready, waiting for the leaders of each faction to arrive.
After the incense was burned, the leaders of several factions came. Ma Xiaoquan greeted them politely and asked them to sit close to him.
These leaders were all stunned. They originally thought of sitting on the side seats, but unexpectedly the head steward asked him to sit in front of him. This...how dare you do this?
Seeing that several people were hesitant to choose, Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said, "Do you think you dare not sit in front of me?"
Several people looked at each other and nodded.
"It doesn't matter, everyone, take a seat then."
Several people lowered their heads and gathered together, and sat on the seat farthest away from Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head. These local factions had been excluded in his heart.
At this moment, the leader of the Fujian faction came, bringing several people with him.
Seeing Ma Xiaoquan, the leader of the Fujian faction slightly bowed his hand to him and said politely: "Sir, I'm here, where can I sit?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "The big Fujian character on your body makes it clear to me at a glance. Brothers from Fujian, please sit in front of me. Well, as for the left and right, you can decide what to do?"
"Well, good" the leader of the Fujian faction grunted, walked straight to the right side of Ma Xiaoquan's seat, and sat down quietly.
Ma Xiaoquan secretly thought, the Fujian faction can become such a big faction of the Cao Gang, and the internal management is very strict. Well, at first glance, it seems to be related to Lu Zhan. It has to be that Lu Zhan is such a stupid person to win over.
quality.
...
While he was deep in thought, a rough male voice came from far outside the door: "I'm from Henan, where can I sit?"
When the leader of the Fujian faction heard this shout, he frowned slightly.
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and stood in the center, waiting for the other party's arrival.
A fat man walked into the banquet hall, walked up to Ma Xiaoquan, looked at him frivolously, and said carelessly: "Master steward, right? We are here, where should we sit?"
Ma Xiaoquan made an invitation gesture behind him and said: "Your Excellency is very generous. It seems that he is the eldest brother of the Henan faction. Well, I have reserved the seat in front of you for you."
"That's pretty much it, right?" The boss of the Henan faction saw the boss of the Fujian faction sitting on the right and said unhappy, "Chief steward, I want to sit on the right, what do you think?"
The leader of the Fujian faction sat motionless, without raising his head or expressing any opinion.
