Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 442 With a gun in hand, there is someone behind

Cao Sanxi has been very depressed these two days, not to mention that he lost 10,000+ taels of silver for nothing, and almost annoyed Liu Hongjian, the actual commander of the Northern Expedition of Ming Dynasty, An Guogong.

After Liu Hongjian left that day, Cao Sanxi, who was furious, called a group of slaves to the house and almost demolished the restaurant.

The owner of the restaurant originally had a backstage, but both the backstage of the restaurant owner and the Cao family's backstage have fallen. The restaurant owner is no match for Cao Sanxi, who has a hand and eyes and shops all over Liaodong.

He had to obediently let Cao Sanxi's servant rush into the restaurant to search, but the restaurant was turned upside down, and the waiter in the crafts shop asked him one after another, but he didn't find a tael of silver.

10,000+ taels of silver just disappeared like this, and Cao Sanxi has no evidence to prove that it was done by a restaurant. They are all colleagues in the city doing business, and he can't do too much.

What's more, the silver has been under his nose all the time, Cao Sanxi can only blame himself for being unlucky.

Fortunately, his family has a big business, and 10,000+ taels of silver is nothing but a trivial matter, but An Guogong still has to find a way to tie the line, otherwise the Cao family will be in danger if the court liquidates it in the future.

He is well aware of the power of those ministers in the Ming court. These ministers are very good at extorting money from you.

It would be great if the matter of bribing the civil servants of Ming Dynasty could be settled. The problem is, according to his intelligence reports, it seems that the courtiers of Ming Dynasty don't count, and even the cabinet is a piece of paper.

All things are basically decided by Chongzhen and An Guogong.

No, Cao Sanxi booked a private room in the restaurant early in the morning, waiting for the protagonist to come.

This time he decided not to show off anymore, and directly stuffed the banknotes into his waist, touching them as soon as there was nothing wrong, for fear that the banknotes would fly away inexplicably.

Cao Sanxi was waiting in the restaurant. The butler even went to Yingwang's mansion twice, and the news to him was that Duke Anguo of Ming Dynasty was still sleeping.

Cao Sanxi was very angry. He was originally a man behind the Qing Dynasty, and others had always been waiting for him and begging him to do things, but now it was the other way around.

He kept going around in restaurants, and he hadn't recovered from the huge contrast for a while.

"Master, An Guogong is here!" A servant came in quietly to announce.

"Understood, let's go!" Cao Sanxi ordered, took a deep breath, and his face immediately returned to his usual calmness.

"My lord is so lucky to have a chance to apologize to Mr. Cao during his busy schedule. My lord, please sit down!" Cao Sanxi smiled and stretched out his hand to give up the seat. road.

"Well, you're really honored, but I'm not here to hear your apology, you'd better show some sincerity!" Liu Hongjian sat down and crossed his legs.

A sumptuous banquet had already been set on the table, and after sleeping until noon, Liu Hongjian was really hungry.

He was also polite and directly picked up the chopsticks and started to attack.

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I hope that your lord will not remember your fault." Cao Sanxi was secretly happy. It seems that the Duke is in a good mood, and he didn't blame him for what happened last time. That's easy to say .

"I heard that you want to do business in the customs. You really know how to find someone. Tell me, how much money do you plan to bribe me with?" Liu Hongjian simply sat down and cut to the chase.

He doesn't have time to fight with this old slicker, his purpose is very clear, he wants money!

Anyway, with the approval of Chongzhen, it would be better to be simpler and rougher.

This person surnamed Cao was not a good bird either. For money, Ming and Qing fought side by side, and Liu Hongjian didn't feel embarrassed at all to take advantage of him.

"Ah?" Cao Sanxi was stunned.

He thought of several ways, intending to conceal his intentions. Liu Hongjian is a high-ranking and powerful man, and there must be many political opponents around him. It's getting difficult.

But!My god, what did the old man hear just now?
"Ah, you big-headed ghost, don't you understand what I mean? You want to do business in the pass, you can! Bring the money!" Liu Hongjian was very straightforward. He never liked to keep up with old businessmen and courtiers. play tricks.

Because if it comes to twists and turns, he must not be able to play with others, whether it is the ups and downs of the officialdom, or the business world, he can't compare with others in anything.

Fortunately, he has a gun in his hand, soldiers under him, and someone behind him.

"If my lord can protect my business in the customs, I would like to offer 20 taels of silver as a filial piety, and every year in the future, I will donate 5 taels as a token of my gratitude!" Cao Sanxi was stunned for a moment, then his heart sank. Take out your own price tag.

He is not an indecisive person, anyway, you are the Duke of Ming Dynasty, you are not afraid of being impeached for accepting bribes, let alone him.

Cao Sanxi's words are also very tricky, the word "guaranteed" is very worthy of deliberation, there is a huge difference between allowing you to do business in the customs and guaranteeing you to do business in the customs.

If the young man in front of him agrees, then he can use the name of the Duke of the State to operate in the pass, which can save many unnecessary troubles from the government.

20 taels, plus an annual contribution of 5 taels, for a young man, the auditory impact is not insignificant.

Cao Sanxi had investigated the details of this An Guogong. A year or two ago, he was still a shabby family.

For example, he regards money as his life, clings to it, and is stingy...

"20 taels, are you a beggar when you're your country's father?" Liu Hongjian looked disdainful, and his tone immediately became displeased.

"Don't worry, my lord. I donate 30 taels, and donate 30 taels a year. Oh no, it's [-] taels. My family business is shallow, but [-] taels is already the limit. No matter how much, I can't afford it."

Cao Sanxi stared at Liu Hongjian quietly with two small eyes, seeing that there was nothing he could do, he humbly raised the price while complaining.

"According to my investigation, your Cao family has more than 130 stores of various types in Liaodong alone, not only in Liaodong, but even in the south of Ming Dynasty, many of the shops were opened by your Cao family's instigators!

There are also Chaoxian, Wa Kingdom, Ryukyu...

Is this considered a shallow family business?Is the country's public easy to deceive? "

Liu Hongjian's voice was flat, and every time he uttered a sentence, Cao Sanxi's expression became a little uglier, and at the end Cao Sanxi was about to cry.

"I'm wronged, my lord, although I do make a living in the south, but now there is turmoil everywhere, business is not easy to do, and many shops are losing money..." Cao Sanxi hurriedly explained.

At the same time, he was terrified in his heart, how could this young man have found out his background in just one day.

This is too incredible. Talking about business is the same as gambling. The most fearful thing is that others will know your cards. Not only will you lose the opportunity, but you will also become passive. This is the end of the game.

"Let's not talk nonsense, I want to do business in the customs, and come up with a price that can satisfy me.

Don't think that I don't know about the traitorous and guessing things you did behind your back. Is it easy to earn money for building slaves?Believe it or not, I led troops to demolish all the shops in Liaodong? "
