Tang Dynasty good brother

Chapter 280 Calculation
After leaving the East Palace, Qin Hao went straight back home, warmed up with Li Xin very gently, and gave his wife a massage with his own hands, and then led his wife to the Hejian Palace .

Li Xiaogong knew long ago that this cheap son-in-law would come to find him, so he asked the back chef to stew Qin Hao's favorite bear's paw. On the coffee table, various tea sets were placed on it, saying that someone had honored him with good tea and asked Qin Hao to taste it.

Qin Hao is not in a hurry, the more important and urgent the matter is, the more he has to speak slowly, and he doesn't mind chatting with his father-in-law for a while, until the pot of tea is drained and he boils it again, Qin Hao seems to be in a hurry. He asked inadvertently, "I don't know if my son-in-law proposed the Tang Fed, did my father-in-law discuss it with the other princes?"

Li Xiaogong smiled and said: "Of course it was discussed, this kind of thing is a good thing for us clansmen, if we old men still have the opportunity to contribute to the country, there is no reason to disagree, I just want to join you I'm afraid it's not easy to talk about this situation."

Qin Hao smiled and said, "Of course, there are some conditions. At least the value of this salt must be stabilized first, otherwise it will be nothing in the end."

Li Xiaogong smiled and said: "I know what you mean. If you want to say that the richest people in the world, it should be us. Whether it is Luoyang or Yangzhou, we have made a lot of money. You want us to pay for it. Are you stabilizing the price of salt? Sigh, it’s not that I haven’t thought about it, but our old guys have spent all their wealth in Yangzhou to build a house, and we really can’t get out the cash.”

Qin Hao also laughed and said: "Of course my son-in-law knows what Yuezhang said. I'm ashamed to say that it was my son-in-law's idea to squeeze out your money in Yangzhou, but as far as my son-in-law knows, the Tongzilou on the other side of Luoyang Most of them have been rented out, and Yangzhou has not yet sold them for rent. In this case, why not try to collect the rent in the form of salt, and even if the buyer has enough salt, it is not a good idea to sell some No, now that the people in Luoyang have almost saved enough money, it is time to let go of the real estate market."

Li Xiaogong smiled wryly and said: "You want us to go back to the past without a penny, no, if the price of salt cannot rise, we will all become paupers."

Qin Hao took down Gulu Gulu's tea stove himself, poured a bowl for Li Xiaogong in a fawning manner, and said, "How can it be, when the price of Yanyin rises back, not only will you have no loss, but you can buy it at a slightly higher market price." Sell ​​the house quickly at the price, and get back the funds quickly, or...you are like those nobles, and you also use [-]%?"

Li Xiaogong shook his head with a smile, and said: "The reason why the imperial court allows us to earn so much money is not because we are members of the family. This family naturally does not distinguish between each other when making money, but this is in trouble. Naturally, everyone is more united. Besides, you have always had the ability to turn stones into gold. Since this matter is entrusted to you, I believe in you and you will not let us down. Eighty percent of the time is not necessary, ninety percent of it, I am in charge of this matter, let me sell it from my share first."

Qin Hao bowed and said: "So, on behalf of the people of the world, I thank all the princes."

But Li Xiaogong kicked him on the buttocks and said: "The whole world belongs to my Li family, what do we use you for?"

Qin Hao chuckled, to be honest, he thought it would take a lot of talking, but he didn't expect Li Xiaogong to be so happy. He thought that these princes of Li Tang would be the same as those of the Ming Dynasty.

After saying this, the servants from the back kitchen came over and said that the bear's paw was ready, Qin Hao had no resistance to this thing at all, so Li Xiaogong laughed and led Qin Hao to the dining room for dinner.

After eating a few bear's paws and chatting for a while, Li Xiaogong suddenly remembered something and asked: "You, the leader of the Green Gang, according to the previous agreement, you should step down."

Qin Hao nodded and said, "That's right. At the beginning, I promised to have elections every two years. I didn't expect that this dazzling time will come soon."

Li Xiaogong asked with a smile, "What do you plan to do? Now is the critical period for the reform of the Qinggang, and it is catching up with such a big event in Yanyin. Besides, now that your Qinggang is already organized by the government soldiers, what are you going to do?" If you really step back, you should use this as an excuse to stay in office."

Qin Hao shook his head and said: "The rules are the rules. Since it is stipulated that elections must be made every two years, it must be elected. Otherwise, the Green Gang will become my own. The court gave all the hall masters the official position of guerrilla general, but only Leaving me alone as the head of the Qing Gang, I think there is also a consideration in this regard, the Qing Gang, you can't talk about it."

Li Xiaogong nodded approvingly, held up the large white porcelain bowl full of grape wine, and finished with a thud, "Yes, you know how to advance and retreat, but now is really not a good time for you to withdraw, and the next As for the candidate for the leader of the gang, who do you prefer in your heart, given your status in the gang, the person you personally choose should be almost the same."

"The sea shark from Yangzhou, the squirrel from Luoyang, and the maganzhang from Chang'an, these three should be the only ones who are qualified to choose this gang leader."

"As an outsider, I also know that among the three of them, whether in terms of strength or popularity, the squirrel has the upper hand, and has the best personal relationship with you, but there are rumors that you and him are at odds. This election will not help him but will suppress him."

Qin Hao smiled wryly and said: "Unexpectedly, such rumors have spread to your ears. Yes, I do want to suppress that squirrel, because he is too strong. He was born in Luoyang, but To be able to sell the property and go to Yangzhou alone, we have had dirty and cooperated back then, and we know the true nature of this man, so I don’t feel at ease entrusting him with such great power.”

"Then you'd better control it. The Green Gang is now at the crossroads of life and death. At this time, it must be united as one, and the interior must not be chaotic. Before Chang'an, there has been chaos once. The little gangsters carried long swords and armor on the street. Fighting, hehe, your Green Gang is very generous."

Qin Hao could only respond with a wry smile. His Green Gang imitated the system of the Triad Society in later generations. I remember that in the Xiangjiang of later generations, every time he went to the Triad Society to choose a seat, the Xiangjiang police were most nervous, because every time they would take people's brains Get the dog's brains out.

Of course, Qin Hao's prestige in the Green Gang is still high enough. It's inevitable that he will be in charge of small troubles, but big troubles should not happen. It's just that the time is a bit sensitive now. For such a big event, it would be difficult for him to atone for his sin with a hundred deaths.

"Don't worry, Father-in-law, I already have a countermeasure. It should be able to make them more civilized in this election, and more or less, it can also help Yanyin."

Li Xiaogong smiled and shook his head and said, "If that's the case, then I'm just worrying about it. You, you, do you know what Li Shentong said about you? You can always count people to your bones."
