After listening to the discussions of the people around him, Li Qi slowly realized that not all of them knew what he had done in Shuicheng.
For example, they obviously don't know the exact amount of money they have on them now.
From their voices, it seemed that they only knew that Shu Wenbin had rewarded them, but they didn't know the exact amount.
But think about it, Shu Wenbin gave this to himself privately, and he has not told anyone. No matter how powerful the person who supervises him is, he cannot know how much money he has.
At best, it was just a rough estimate. Just like the specific amount of money Shen Jingbing had on him, they didn't know.
But judging from their tone, they seemed to think Shen Jingbing earned more than they did.
Because most people felt that even if Li Qi helped Shu Wenbin become the son-in-law of the Zhang family, the maximum reward would only be a hundred taels.
In the corner of the inn, Song Longping asked with a worried look: "Do you think the helmsman will win this time?"
Chun Sanniang said with a smile: "You'll know in a while?"
"Well, I heard that Shen Jingbing almost monopolized the charcoal business in Shuicheng... he could make dozens of taels a day... our helmsman..."
At this time, Tian Hangnan, who had been with them all the time, couldn't help but said: "Master Li can definitely win."
During this period of time, Tian Hangnan couldn't stay with Li Qi, so he stayed with Chun Sanniang and others, and he knew everything about what happened recently.
He is the person who knows Li Qi best among this group of people.
Although he doesn't know what Li Qi's earning power is, just because he invented "Flying Dragon in the Sky" and "Oil Bomb", there is no doubt about Li Qi's position in his mind.
In addition, Li Qi is still a popular person around the prince, and he will be promoted this time when he returns.
How could such a person lose?
Tian Hangnan has absolute confidence in Li Qi.
Seeing what Li Qi's guard said, Song Longping sighed and said slowly: "I hope so."
"The chief helmsman has arrived!"
When Shi Lezhan came down from upstairs, everyone in the Heroes Meeting stopped.
Shen Jingbing still looks determined to win.
Shi Lezhan sat on the main seat, looked at the two people, and showed a smile on his face: "You two sub-rudders, you have worked hard during this time."
Li Qi cupped his fists and said, "It's not hard, but it's troublesome for the chief helmsman to stay here for a long time."
Shi Lezhan smiled and said nothing.
Shen Jingbing on the side couldn't wait any longer and said: "Chief Rudder, please make a decision."
Shi Lezhan nodded, and the steward next to him said: "Please take out all the money you have earned these days."
Hearing this, Shen Jingbing quickly took out all the money he had in his body.
I saw him taking it out of his arms first, then his sleeves, and then his shoes.
Especially when he took off his shoes, the air in the hall became turbid, and many people covered their noses.
Apparently he hadn't washed his feet at all during this period.
But think about it, let alone washing your feet during this period, it would be good if you can fill your stomach.
Shi Lezhan couldn't help but lean back at this time. Shen Jingbing was not embarrassed at all. He pointed to the silver on the table and said: "Please take a look at it, captain."
Originally, counting the money was done by the butler, but at this time he really couldn't do it, so he called a servant over.
The servant could only bite the bullet and retched while counting the money.
After counting for a while, the servant reported a number: "The total is seven hundred and thirty-five taels."
Before Shen Jingbing could be happy, Shi Lezhan said: "Put all this money away."
Shen Jingbing nodded with a smile and collected all the money.
More than 700 taels, so much in less than a month, and all from scratch. This is quite an impressive achievement.
Many people here feel that even if they give it to themselves, it is impossible to earn so much money in such a short period of time.
"Master Li, please." Shen Jingbing looked proud and said to Li Qi.
Li Qi smiled and thought: This guy is really a villain, I'm just afraid that you might cry.
I saw Li Qi calmly take out a handful of banknotes from his arms, and when he put them on the table, there was a sudden silence.
Because the top one, a bank note with a face value of one thousand taels, is very familiar to everyone.
Just relying on this one, without counting the remaining numbers, the winner has been determined.
The butler came in person this time and counted the banknotes that Li Qi took out, and then reported a jaw-dropping figure: "Su Nan Branch, Captain Li, the total is three thousand four hundred and fifty taels."
When Shen Jingbing heard this number, he was stunned for a moment and subconsciously said: "Impossible!"
"What's impossible?" Li Qi looked at him and said leisurely.
"How could you make more than three thousand taels in just over twenty days? You cheated!"
Li Qi was too lazy to answer him, but looked at Shi Lezhan: "Chief rudder, announce the result."
Shi Lezhan was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Li Qi could come up with so much money.
Although he had already understood everything about Li Qi in Shuicheng, he never expected that the poor scholar would be so willing to give him so much money.
Everyone was a little confused, and everyone in Sunan's helm had a look of surprise on their faces.
Song Longping almost jumped up.
Chun Sanniang exhaled. Although she expected Li Qi to win, she didn't expect him to make so much.
As for Tian Hangnan, he didn't seem surprised at all.
"I'm going to announce that Sunan will win." Shi Lezhan said slowly and announced the result.
This result means that Li Qi can make any conditions with Shen Jingbing at will.
To be precise, we can put forward conditions with North China.
After all, this is a contest between two branches. Even if Li Qi now says that he wants to annex the North China branch, no one dares to say no.
But obviously he has no such intention. For Li Qi, a sub-rudder of the Heroes Association can only earn hundreds of thousands of taels in profit a year, and in better situations, it can be at most hundreds of thousands of taels.
To ordinary people, this is a large amount of money, but to Li Qi, it is a drop in the bucket.
He didn't pay any attention to this little money.
And the most troublesome thing is that the money is not so easy to earn, and you have to manage all the affairs of the association.
Therefore, Li Qi did not want to annex the North China Branch at all.
"Since Captain Li has won, let's tell you your request." Shi Lezhan said slowly.
Li Qi glanced at Shen Jingbing and saw that he was stunned and lost his mind.
"Master Shen, since you lost, please help Sunan branch make up for today's supply," Li Qi said.
When he heard this, Shen Jingbing came back to his senses and looked at Li Qi in disbelief: "What did you say?"
"Why, can't Captain Shen even get this little money?"
Shen Jingbing swallowed his saliva and looked at Li Qi and asked: "Master Li, are you serious about what you said?"
"In front of so many brothers and sisters, why can't I take what I say seriously?" Li Qi said with a smile.
Shen Jingbing's eyes lit up and he pulled away from the emotion just now. He wanted to rush up and hold Li Qi's hand, but he dodged him: "If you have anything to do, just say it and don't touch her."
Grandma, your hands have just touched your feet. If you don't mind the smell, I can't stand it.
"Okay!" Shen Jingbing looked at Li Qi seriously and said, "I agree to Captain Li's request!"
