Chapter 99 Breaking the pot and selling iron to buy
"What, you want to organize a new battalion?"
Upon hearing the news, all the brothers' eyes widened: "Sir, you must not miss this opportunity under any circumstances!"
Wang Hengyue rubbed his nose: "I think so, but I'm not the only one staring at this position."
"Sir." Yu Lei thought for a moment: "My Lord's advantage is that he has made many military exploits before, helped Zhao Duxian with things, has a good relationship with Zhao Erfeng, and is about to marry Ma Junmen.
My granddaughter, others have to give some face. The disadvantage is that we have no one around Zhao Duxian, and we are not in Chengdu, so it is inconvenient to get around. After much thought, the students must spend a lot of money.
Money, otherwise we won’t be able to succeed!”
Yu Lei's analysis was very clear, but now Wang Hengyue is in some trouble. The money he earned after traveling to Chengdu has already been spent. It is really difficult to come up with such a sum of money, and this amount is definitely
There won't be any less.
Wang Hengyue thought for a while: "How much money will it cost to get the location of the pipe belt?"
"Normally, a military commander is not worth much money." Yu Lei thought about it in his mind: "But the new military military commander has a very important status, and everyone is watching. If you want to be sure, you have to take care of everything.
Sir, please prepare twenty thousand taels of silver."
Wang Hengyue almost burst into tears. When did a pipe belt become so valuable? I remember reading in the past. Pipe belts were not a lucrative position. At most, military pay was deducted, and a few pennies were quoted as false pay, but it was not worth a few dollars.
That?
But this leadership is of great significance and is extremely important for the further development of myself and my brothers. Even if I spend a few wasted money, it is still worth it.
With 20,000 taels of silver and Ma Weiqi's reputation, I thought this guy wouldn't be able to escape.
From being a leader to a leader, from a team to a battalion, it will be a qualitative leap!
However, Wang Hengyue had other concerns in his mind and thought for a moment: "Twenty thousand taels is not enough, fifty thousand taels!"
This time it was Yu Lei's turn to be stunned. What's going on, sir?
Wang Hengyue smiled: "Not only do I want to be the leader, but I also want to stay in Rong County!"
Yu Lei and all his brothers suddenly realized it!
Rong County is the foundation of Wang Hengyue, and there must be no mistakes. Fifty thousand taels of silver, twenty thousand taels of silver to buy an official position, thirty thousand taels of silver, just stay in Rong County and don't leave, it's worth it!
"But it's a bit aggrieved for a supervisor to lead a battalion of brothers to be stationed in Rong County." Wang Hengyue said with a bad smile: "How important are artesian wells and tribute wells? They are where the salt tax of the imperial court is, and there is absolutely no room for loss."
"Sir, you are wise!" Yu Lei bowed his head to the end. Mr. Wang had turned his mind to two places: Ziliujing and Gongjing.
If these two places can be brought within Wang Hengyue's sphere of influence, everything else will be easy to handle. Regardless of this position, people like Li Shenchun will have to rely on Wang Hengyue's breath.
Yu Lei said with a smile: "First, please ask Zhao Xi and other local gentry to jointly submit a letter asking you to stay in Rong County and protect the place. Secondly, it would be best to cause a few more revolutionaries and bandits to riot, and destroy Ziliujing and Gong County."
It will be much easier if we get a well."
The stupid Yu Lei thought further than I did, and Wang Hengyue cursed in his heart.
But where can I get these fifty thousand taels of silver?
Deng Yong and Chen Qifeng looked at each other and said, "Sir, we are responsible for these fifty thousand taels of silver."
"You?" Wang Hengyue glared at them: "I asked you for some money to go to Chengdu for business, but you resisted, and now you have money?"
A smile appeared on Chen Qifeng's face: "Sir, this is happening now and then. It's not easy for transportation companies and salt companies to make some money. You don't know how hard it is. If we don't take care of it, I'm afraid... what my subordinates mean.
The adults understand."
"Damn it, do you think I'm a prodigal?" Wang Hengyue cursed angrily.
Chen Qifeng smiled and said: "But the matter is very important now. We sold the pot and sold iron to get 50,000 taels of silver for you. It's not enough. Brother Deng and I still have some savings to put down!"
At this point, Wang Hengyue felt very grateful: "Thank you for your hard work. The advance you made will be made up in the future, and the interest will be calculated."
Deng Yong smiled faintly: "What we are doing is not just some interest. Now we are all a group. We are all prosperous and suffer losses. How can we distinguish each other?"
Wang Hengyue nodded and said:
"Right now, the training of the new camp has not yet been officially implemented, but we have to be ahead of everyone else. Yu Lei, go to Chengdu in person, inquire about the news, and scatter money while you go. If things don't work out, don't come back."
Yu Lei agreed, and Wang Hengyue suddenly felt uneasy. Last time, Yu Lei had withdrawn one hundred taels from the two hundred taels of silver. This time, it would be a large amount, so as not to cause any trouble again.
I thought about it for a while, thinking that Yu Lei was loyal and reliable, and had helped me earn a hundred thousand taels of silver in Leshan last time, so it wouldn't hurt to trust him again...
...
As expected, Deng Yong and Chen Qifeng collected 50,000 taels of silver in the shortest time. Wang Hengyue was worried and doubtful and handed the money to Yu Lei.
Yu Lei saw what he was thinking: "Sir, today is different from the past. This matter is related to your future, and it is also related to the future of the students. I will definitely not tamper with it at all."
He hesitated for a moment and said: "It's just that in the future, as your foundation is firmly established and your power becomes stronger, the students are afraid that they will inevitably do something illegal. When the time comes..."
"De Guang." Wang Hengyue rarely called Yu Lei and sighed softly: "That's what I'm afraid of. No one can replace your ability, but I also know that you are very greedy, more greedy than anyone else.
Greed, the reason why you are not greedy now is because you feel that the time has not come yet. When you see that the time has come, you will be more greedy than anyone else."
"My lord is wise." Yu Lei still said calmly, not moved at all.
"But one day, what should I do to you?" Wang Hengyue stared at his subordinates and said: "Corruption and bribery make people and gods angry. I hate this the most. Should I kill you or not? If I kill you, you will take the credit again.
If I don’t kill you to atone my crime, will anyone obey me again?”
"To kill or not to kill, we will decide at that time." Yu Lei sighed: "The students know that this is not good, and it will make things difficult for the adults, but when that time comes, the students are afraid that they will not be able to control themselves. The students will still
I am afraid that if I am not greedy or I am greedy, this amount will be inevitable."
Wang Hengyue smiled bitterly and shook his head. Yu Lei knew his faults better than anyone else. He worked loyally and conscientiously, and did not dare to make any mistakes, just to wait for the day when he would be in power!
