Shen Shan's expression changed and he was about to have an attack, but Shen Ying'er took his arm and said softly: "Brother, don't be angry. Don't let others see our Shen family's jokes. Let the younger sister handle this matter." ,OK?"
Her beautiful eyes flashed as she held Shen Shan's hand with a coquettish look. Shen Shan had a arrogant personality that was not afraid of heaven or earth, but he loved this sister very much. He immediately lost his temper and said: " Okay, big brother, just leave this matter alone."
Shen Ying'er smiled sweetly and said: "The elder brother is the best to the younger sister."
She turned her face, coughed slightly, and said: "Uncle Gongyang, Uncle Mo, we 'three evils' have been together in Wuyang City for many years and have always cooperated, why should we hurt our peace over this matter? Uncle Mo, in Changsha City The territory is very large, and my niece won’t want to monopolize it all even if she thinks of the ‘Evil Dog Gate’, so why not come up with a way to divide it and see if we all can accept it.”
Gongyang Taidao: "What the niece of the Shen family said makes sense. You, 'Evil Dog Sect', first tell me how you want to divide the territory in this city. If it is reasonable, Pindao will not have any objection."
When he came to Changsha this time, Taoist Gongyang originally had great ambitions. In recent months, the "Iron Sword Sect" has made a lot of money by selling weapons. It can be said that it is rich and powerful. As the leader, Gongyang Tai Zheng was thinking about how to build industry and expand the power of the sect. At this time, Shen Ying'er came to the door and mentioned the situation in Changsha City, asking him to come to the rescue. Gongyang Tai was tempted when he heard it, and immediately gathered his elite disciples to fight non-stop. Come.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived in Changsha City, they heard that the war was over, the situation had been calmed down, and the "Iron Sword Sect" no longer needed to take action. However, the "Evil Dog Sect" had already formed an alliance with the "Dongting Gang", and its strength was far behind the " "Iron Sword Sect" was above the "Iron Sword Sect", and it did not help. The "Iron Sword Sect" wanted to carve up the territory, and it was a little lacking in confidence. After all, although there was a verbal agreement before, the details were not discussed at the time, nor was it stated that it would be able to divide the territory. Changsha City occupies a large amount of land, so this agreement is not so reliable.
Gong Yangtai is not a fool like Shen Shan. He naturally knows that in the current situation, it is unrealistic for the three families to equally divide the territory in the city, but he is not willing to return empty-handed. His words just now were quite tough, but I just want to get a little more advantage during the negotiation.
"Brother Hua, I would like to hear your opinion on the matter of dividing the territory." Gongyang Tai said, looking at Hua Tianxiong.
He knew that Mo Wentian was an old fox, very scheming and difficult to deal with, while Hua Tianxiong had never been interested in running a sect, and he would not care too much about the territory of Changsha City, and as the "evil dog sect" Sect leader, as long as Hua Tianxiong opens his mouth, Mo Wentian will naturally not dare to have any objections.
However, Hua Tianxiong waved his hand and said: "I have given full authority to Quanzi to handle the affairs of the sect. Taoist Master Gongyang only needs to ask him."
Gong Yangtai frowned, turned to Hua Bushi and said, "But I wonder what nephew Hua Xian has?"
Hua Bushi was sitting at the bottom and had not spoken a word just now. Then he stood up and said: "Master Gongyang, Xiaomei Shen, since we have agreed before that the three families will share the territory equally, Xiaoke thinks we can divide it according to this agreement. Can. "
As soon as these words came out, not only Gong Yangtai was very surprised, but even Shen Ying'er didn't expect it.
Hua Bushi took out a scroll of paper from his sleeve, walked to the table, and spread the scroll on the table. It turned out to be a hand-drawn map.
He said: "This is the detailed map of Changsha City. The 'Nine Immortals Society', the 'Yuelu Sect' and the 'Liuhe Sect' have been destroyed. Their territory is now ours. The conditions for Xiao Ke's alliance with the 'Dongting Gang' were The income obtained after the war was divided equally between the two sects, so they have taken half of it. There are still ninety-six streets left, which I have marked on this map. According to the previous agreement, our three sects will share it equally, each of them Each gets thirty-two streets, do Master Gongyang and Miss Shen have any objections?"
"Since it was the previous agreement, Pindao has no objection. Nephew Hua Xian is indeed a man of his word!" Gong Yangtai said quickly with a smile on his face.
"Little sister has no objections. Everything will be obeyed by Brother Hua," Shen Ying'er said.
Hua Bushi said: "Okay, that's it. But for these thirty-two streets, I, the 'Evil Dog Sect', will choose first, and the rest will be divided equally between the 'Iron Sword Sect' and the 'Monkey Gang'. I wonder if you two agree?"
Gong Yangtai's face darkened again, and he said: "Nephew Hua Xian wants to make a selection first and take away all the prosperous and prosperous places. Our two families can only get some poor and remote places. Isn't this fair?" "
For Jianghu gangs, the value of a territory does not lie in the number of streets, but in how many industries there are on the territory and how many businesses are opened. This will be directly related to the amount of dividends. Of course Gongyang Tai knows this very well.
Hua Bushi smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Taoist Priest. Let me first let my nephew mark the block to be chosen for the 'Evil Dog Gate', and then the Taoist Priest will decide whether to agree or not. How about that?"
Gong Yangtai hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, please mark the location first and let Pindao take a look before talking."
Hua Bushi took the fine paper placed on the table, dipped it in ink and picked up the pen, and marked out thirty-two streets in one breath.
Gong Yangtai and Shen Ying'er took a closer look and saw that among the thirty-two streets, although some were prosperous places in the city, there were also some remote corners. In terms of the value of the land, they did not take much advantage. .These streets are not connected together, but are scattered into several areas, which is quite strange.
After finishing the markings, Hua Bushi put down his brush and said, "We will choose these thirty-two streets for the 'Evil Dog Sect'. What do you think?"
These thirty-two streets are indeed not the best among these areas in terms of industrial profitability, but in Hua Bushi's eyes, they are the most important areas.
Because what Hua Bushi wants to achieve is to control the city, not just to profit from the territory. These blocks include the main water sources in Changsha City, most of the water and land docks, and the main channels into and out of the city. As long as these areas are occupied , you can control most of the lifeblood of Changsha City, and whether the neighborhood is prosperous and how many industries there are are only ignored by Hua Bushi.
The "Evil Dog Sect" lacked manpower and could not manage such a large area, so it divided part of it between the "Iron Sword Sect" and the Shen Monkey Family. Hua Bushi did not feel it was a pity, but believed that having two alliances would make the city better. The situation is more stable.
Even if the sect expands in the future and recruits more disciples, Hua Bushi does not want them to be stationed here. His ambition is not limited to Changsha City, or even to Hunan. To realize his dream, he must Controlled the two regions and thirteen provinces within the entire Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, in Changsha, Hua Bushi just wanted to control the city with the minimum manpower. He believed that establishing a stable alliance of multiple sects would be more powerful and more conducive to achieving this goal than relying on just one sect to dominate. Purpose, not to mention the existence of the powerful enemy of the devil, it is urgent to gather strength.
Since you want the "Iron Sword Sect" and the Shen Family of Monkey Gods to be your assistants, you must first make them profitable.
Gongyang Tai and Shen Ying'er didn't think as much as Hua Bushi. As Jianghu sects, as long as they can make money from the property on their territory, they don't have to worry about other things. They can't even understand why Hua Bushi chose these three.
Twelve streets, in terms of operating profit, the land connected together is certainly easier to manage than several areas scattered in various places.
Gong Yangtai carefully looked at the streets marked on the map again and asked, "Nephew Hua Xian has already made up his mind. Do you want to choose these streets?"
Hua Bushi nodded and said, "My nephew has made a decision."
Gong Yangtai turned his attention to Hua Tianxiong and said, "Brother Hua, do you have any opinions on choosing these thirty-two streets for the 'Evil Dog Gate'?"
Seeing a big and fat pie placed in front of him, he still felt uneasy, fearing that Young Master Hua would make this choice in confusion and regret it later when he wakes up, so he asked Hua Tianxiong specifically.
.
Hua Tianxiong said: "I have left the affairs of the sect to Xiao Quan. I naturally have no objection to his decision."
Now Hua Tianxiong only thinks about how to deal with the attack of the demon sect so as to save the lives of his father and son. He has no interest in carving up the territory and doesn't want to care about it at all.
Mo Wentian on the side said: "Although the eldest young master made this suggestion, as the master of the 'Jujin Hall', I am in charge of all the business affairs of the sect. If I don't agree with the division of territory, I will not agree to it."
The young master’s words don’t count.”
Gong Yangtai's expression changed and he said, "What do Master Mo mean by this? Brother Hua has no objection to this matter. Do you still want to object?"
Mo Wentian said: "Such a division is very detrimental to our sect. Mo would never agree to it, but since it is the eldest young master's decision, I will not object. There is no certainty. There is one thing if the Taoist priest and the niece of the Shen family
Agree, I will say no more, otherwise how could Mo give away so much land to others for nothing."
Gong Yangtai said: "What is it, but Master Mo please tell me clearly."
Mo Wentian said: "Although the 'Nine Immortals Society' has been wiped out, there are still some remnants that have not been eliminated. They may come back for revenge in the near future. If they attack, the 'Iron Sword Sect' and the 'Monkey Gang' will have to
How about helping us defend against the enemy as the price of acquiring these territories?"
Gong Yangtai is also a scheming person. When he heard Mo Wentian's words, he immediately thought that the "Evil Dog Sect" was so afraid of the so-called "remnants of the Nine Immortals Society" and insisted on pulling the two factions together to defend against the enemy. Those "Evil Dog Sect"
"Remaining Evil" must be very powerful and not easy to deal with.
However, he also knew that if he did not agree, the "Evil Dog Sect" would not easily give away their territory to each other, not to mention that the territory they were dividing was originally the territory of the "Nine Immortals Association". If the "Nine Immortals Association" came back and defeated the "Evil Dog Sect"
"Dog Gate", of course he couldn't keep the territory in his hands. After weighing the pros and cons, Gongyang Taili made a decision immediately.
He said loudly: "We, the 'Three Great Evils', have been in alliance for a long time and have always shared the same hatred. Not only was Zhu Zhenyan defeated by our hands, but we are also afraid of where his 'Nine Immortals Association' will come from. Master Mo, don't worry, 'Nine Immortals'
If the remnants of the Hui still dare to come and cause trouble, our three factions will join forces to make sure they never come back!"
