The city lives in the Tianshou Pavilion of the city.

Li Xiao took back his sight from the scenery outside the window and turned away.

At present, among the three floors of Tianshou Pavilion, except Li Xiao, there is only Yanwu Qiuzhen. At present, he is bowing down in front of Li Xiao in a respectful manner.

"But Lord Ma Shou, I'm here to apologize."

oh Li Xiaowei smiled and asked, "where does this start?"

Yanwu Qiuzhen leaned down even more and said, "Lord Hui, Ma Shou, before Saito's army came to attack, I was entrusted by Saito liki to buy your subordinates and let him open the gate as an insider when Saito's army attacked the city. In addition, I also provided Saito liki with the military information of Shengang city."

Li Xiao snorted softly. It was not long before Li Xiao knew what Yanwu Qiuzhen had done. His ninjas later found out that if he had no field battle at that time, he would adopt the strategy of guarding the city.

At that time, the big hand gate of Shengang city is likely to be broken down by the people bought by Qiuzhen in the salt house, who offer the gate to Saito's family. At that time, Shengang city will be really dangerous.

Yokota also felt that he had neglected his duty. Therefore, he specially apologized to Li Xiao for failing to investigate the matter in time.

Li Xiao looked at Yanwu Qiuzhen again. He wanted to say something useful. Why do you want to cut your belly?

At the beginning, Qiuzhen of Yanwu made such a choice. In fact, it is understandable from the perspective of relying on the strong. Saito's family is strong and Li Xiao's family is weak. Both of them are regarded as his partners. When he can only choose one, his decision is also correct from his own consideration.

But now this result can only say that Yanwu Qiuzhen's vision is too bad and she is in the wrong team.

Li Xiao thought for a moment and asked, "Lord Zhuqian, do you think it's useful to plead guilty?"

Salt house Qiuzhen moved his slightly fat body and said, "it depends on how Lord Ma Shou understands."

oh Li Xiao wants to see how salt house Qiuzhen defends herself.

Salt house Qiuzhen said in a deep voice: "I really violate the previous reputation with Lord Ma Shou, but I am also justified. Most of my family business in salt house is in Chengsheng city. If Saito niche can take it back with one word, he can use it to intimidate me. I really can't resist."

"So please understand that if you don't forgive me, I'll apologize to you. But please protect my salt house's rights and interests in Chengsheng city. I'm very grateful."

With a cold hum, Li Xiao thought that Qiu Zhen, the salt house, came here so bumpily. It turned out that he wanted to keep his salt house's business in Chengsheng city.

As a seat merchant, the main selling route of Yanwu Qiuzhen at present is to transport salt from Toyama Town, and then to Chengxia Town, Suwa Town, jiangma's plateau.

At present, in this route, the central Chengsheng city and Shengang city are stuck by Li Xiao. His main business failed.

Yes, occupying Chengsheng City, Li Xiao has grasped the key point of Feiyu Yuezhong channel.

If Li Xiao is willing, he can impose an embargo on salt, grain and other important substances on his sister's family and neidao family at any time.

It's only one thing that Yanlu road is held. For Qiuzhen of Yanwu, what's more important is that his biggest business is to exchange secret silver money with Li Xiao in Shengang Yinshan. Now it depends on Li Xiao's eyes.

After learning about the opponent's cards, Li Xiaowei smiled and said how he played, Yanwu Qiuzhen was going to die in his own hands.

As long as we grasp the traffic lifeline of Chengsheng City, what if Qiuzhen Yanwu lives? The salt house run by his salt house family for several generations will soon collapse.

It's easy to kill him now, but you can't get anything. In that case, use his life to make money for yourself.

In addition, there is another advantage in leaving Yanwu Qiuzhen's life. Now that Saito Riki dies, only Li Xiao, Jiang Ma Huisheng and Yanwu Qiuzhen know the secret of Shengang Yinshan.

If you suddenly change your partner and don't tell me the trouble, if the matter is not secret, once the details of Shengang Yinshan are leaked out, you can't bear the loss, so the cost is even greater.

After thinking clearly, Li Xiao said, "it's no use for you to die before you build. Have you ever thought that even if you die, I may not let go of your salt house. Even if you do, other merchants will come up and give me better conditions to replace your salt house. Won't your salt house lose everything in Chengsheng city at that time?"

When Yanwu Qiuzhen heard this, her forehead was full of sweat. Her fat body twisted uneasily and asked, "yes, but Lord Ma Shou was right, but please show me how to make atonement."

Li Xiaowei smiled and sat cross legged in front of Qiuzhen in the salt house. The whole person approached each other and asked, "Lord salt house, I know the criteria of your businessmen. Cooperation is possible only when there are common interests. So do you understand what I mean?"

Salt house Qiuzhen was shocked. She couldn't help wiping the sweat on her forehead, helped her glasses, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "I see. Please let me become your royal businessman, Lord Ma Shou. I, salt house, am willing to provide you with 1000 yuan of participation money every year."

Li Xiao shook his head and said, "you still don't understand, Mr. Zhu Qianshou. If I hadn't captured Chengsheng City, if you proposed to be the Royal businessman of my family, I would agree without hesitation. However, the situation is different now. At that time, I was not qualified to negotiate with you, but my situation has changed."

Salt house Qiuzhen took a deep breath and said as if she had made up her mind: "well, 1500 times a year, you can't make more, otherwise you won't even earn a penny's surplus in the next year."

Li xiaoha smiled and said, "your words are untrue. It is said that as far as I know, your salt house is operated by Shengang Yinshan, and the net profit of Salt Road vendors in one year is nearly 5000!"

The salt house Qiuzhen suddenly turned pale and said, "Lord Li Xiao, you are checking my details."

Li Xiao nodded and said, "yes, but it's absolutely necessary for me."

The salt house Qiuzhen was dejected and turned pale. After thinking about it for a while, she finally replied in pain: "1500 passes, just 1500 passes. But Lord Ma Shou, you can use my salt house as a royal merchant."

"No." Li Xiao still flatly refused.

This time, salt house Qiuzhen is really going to cry.

Li Xiao said calmly, "you haven't understood what I mean. I said that only when there are common interests, can the two sides cooperate. But I can't see where there are common interests."

Salt house Qiuzhen now almost cried and said, "but Lord Ma Shou, what's your idea? Please ask for instructions."

Li xiaoha smiled, but he had no sense of achievement when he was strong and playing with others.

Li Xiao stretched out three fingers and said, "I want you salt house merchants to make 30% of the profits every year."

Yanwu Qiuzhen was surprised. Thirty percent of his profits were nearly 1500, according to his current annual profits of nearly 5000.

But in fact, the meaning is really different. The profit sharing is indeed, as Li Xiao said, the interests of him and salt house are really bound together.

In the future, with the expansion of his salt house business, Li Xiao will naturally earn more, and when his business shrinks, Li Xiao will also earn less.

In this way, it is necessary for both sides to support each other. Li Xiao will give the salt house convenience as his Lord, and the salt house can make more profits, so the possibility of betraying each other is much less.

Yanwu Qiuzhen's decadent face went away, "Oh", knelt down and said, "please take care of everything in the future, but Lord Ma Shou."

Li Xiao nodded. As for Qiuzhen of Yanwu, he will use his shareholder identity to infiltrate people into the business and secretly monitor his behavior in the future.

This step takes two to three years.

It's just that Qiuzhen of the salt house is loyal. If not, he will find a chance to assassinate the other party, and finally use the Infiltrator to take over the salt house business for himself.

In this way, Li Xiao can earn more, but he wouldn't have done so unless salt house Qiuzhen's mind was wrong.

First, Qiuzhen of Yanwu has some talent in business. It's a pity to kill this talent. Second, Li Xiao is trustworthy and won't break his promise easily.

However, in Li Xiao's view, as long as the interests of both sides are completely tied together, salt house Qiuzhen will not do this stupid thing as long as she has a head.

Li Xiaoling leads the domestic economy, has a big Tibet, Chang'an, and Yanwu Qiuzhen takes care of it for himself. He can also save a lot of worry.

Salt house's profit share is settled with Li Xiao every year. It is expected to get nearly 1500 dividends by the end of the year.

With this extra income, Li Xiao is naturally very comfortable. This is just a subsidy. Takeda Xinxuan cancelled the direct salary subsidy he gave himself a thousand times a year.

The reason of our family is also very sufficient. Li Xiaodu is an old family at the level of 20000 stone. He can't receive a direct salary like the first senior general.

However, in order to prepare for the establishment of the iron artillery team of the Western phalanx, Li Xiao threw all his savings into it. At present, he is in an economic crisis in which he is poor and his family is drained.

War means money and economy. That's right.

Shangshan Qianxin and Takeda Xinxuan are indeed outstanding people in the world, but if Takeda Shangshan and his family were not supported by Jinshan, it would be very difficult for them to get ahead in this troubled world.

Although Li Xiao is now a famous old man with a height of 20000 stone and his territory has expanded a lot, in fact, his strategic position is extremely unfavorable.

He now controls the territory, which is a dumbbell. One end is flying, the other end is in Yuezhong, and there is a difficult mountain road in the middle.

It's usually OK, but once it's winter, the mountains are closed by heavy snow and the mountain roads are closed, so the traffic between Shengang city and Chengsheng city will be interrupted. At that time, in case of an accident in any city and an attack by other forces, the two cities will not echo each other.

If Li Xiao's 500 standing stocks were equally distributed between the two cities, it would not work at all, and the defensive force would be even weaker.

According to Li Xiao's plan, he plans to expand the army, expand another 500 standing troops, and garrison in Chengsheng city and Shengang city respectively.

The recruitment of 500 standing stocks is undoubtedly a huge sum of money.

In order to maintain a standing stock of 500, excluding other consumption, according to the annual salary of each standing stock of seven light passes, it will take 3500 passes a year, plus support rice for one person and two people.

Just maintenance costs more than 4000 yuan a year.

In addition, iron cannon, foot, spear and sword are not included.

Li Xiao couldn't help sighing that the separation of soldiers and peasants was really affordable for rich people.

Therefore, Li Xiao needs a lot of money to set up these 500 standing reserves to guard the city.

Now Li Xiao receives three large pieces of income, including annual tribute from Shengang Yinshan, chengxiating business and farmland.

Li Xiao's greatest confidence in supporting a thousand standing weapons is that there is a big killing weapon, Shengang Yinshan. With the opening of Chang'an in Tibet, Shengang Yinshan's task has been overfulfilled this year. In addition to buying 80 iron guns, he also helped Li Xiaowei maintain 300 standing expenses.

Therefore, all the output of Shengang Yinshan has been exhausted this year.

As for the income of Chengxia Town, it mainly comes from commercial trade, but because it is autumn now, in another month, the road between Vietnam and China will be closed by heavy snow soon. Therefore, the business income of Shengang City, Chengsheng city and Chengxia town will shrink significantly soon.

So this money can't be expected.

Fortunately, Li Xiao has one last item, the annual tribute income of farmland this year.

The autumn harvest is about to begin. According to the proportion of three public and two people, Li Xiao received 12000 stone annual tribute income from 20000 stone high territory.

With this income, Li Xiao can temporarily use it to recruit his 500 standing stocks.

However, some of these 12000 stones must ensure that he has a thousand standing reserves after the expansion of the army and a military Grain Reserve in the coming year.

In order to expand the army, Li Xiao can only temporarily sell some military grain in exchange for copper money.

By the end of the year, Li Xiao's life will be better. At that time, there will be dividends from salt house merchants and the expected output of Shengang Yinshan's production expansion next year.

Li Xiao can tide over the economic crisis brought about by the expansion of the army for the time being. If there is insufficient military grain at that time, he can buy it back with money.

The sale of military grain, designated by Li Xiao, is carried out by the Royal merchant Yanwu Qiuzhen at a unified purchase and sale price.

The advantage of unified purchase and sale price is that the purchase and sale price of military grain are unified, that is, there will be no cup situation in which grain is sold cheaply in autumn harvest and expensive in spring.

The benefits of salt house Qiuzhen, a royal businessman, were immediately reflected.

The annual tribute income from buying and selling grain made money by the price difference between seasons, which was also the basic way of taking agriculture as the main income at that time.

The followers of Daming should also work like businessmen on weekdays, buying grain when it is cheap and selling grain when it is expensive.

When playing Taige five, Daming is evaluated every time. As a player playing a family minister, you can choose this command to buy and sell military grain every time.

However, in fact, Li Xiao's annual tribute income from farmland this year has been obstructed.

At the end of September, the autumn harvest in Yuezhong City, Shengcheng city and Feiyu Shengang city has ended.

The three thousand stones of Feiyu Shengang city were collected, while the nine thousand stones of Chengsheng city were not seen by Li Xiao.

The people Li Xiao sent to collect taxes in various villages were politely, perfunctorily, or even deported.

After hearing this, Li Xiao was furious. Since the Takeshi family took charge of the world, it is the responsibility of the land to tax the villages in the territory.

At present, the villages actually refuse to pay and even violently resist the law. How can this be tolerated.

However, Li Xiao noticed a hint of conspiracy. When he occupied Chengsheng City, the local village leaders had recognized his status as a local Lord and agreed to pay annual tribute to him after the autumn harvest.

Why did these famous masters change their minds in less than a month.

There must be a reason.

So after Li Xiao inquired in detail about the people who had been sent to each village and were driven back, he realized that it was the ghost of the bald donkeys in Benyuan temple. (to be continued.
