Li Changzhu and Wang Fugui nodded in agreement.

Hearing this, Zhou Xinghe cursed inwardly: "These three old guys only want to get benefits, but they can't think of any effort, so how can they do it?"

Zhou Xinghe quickly calculated in his mind, and after thinking carefully for a while, he said slowly: "Since the three of you have said so, then I will not refuse! Since you want to share a share, you must pay a certain price. If we want to dig a pot of treasure, we not only need to plan well, but also pay a lot. What can you give? How much do you want to get?"

Everyone knew that Zhou Xinghe, an old fox, was difficult to deal with, but they didn't expect it to be so difficult to deal with, and the method of trying to pick up a bargain later would not work at all.

If there is no blood, then don't even think about getting good things from this pot of treasure.

"Now I heard that the garrison near Luoxia Town has already followed, and it will be very difficult for us to seize food!" Li Changzhu thought for a while and replied, "Although the frontier is unstable now, other places have stabilized. Now, the weapons and troops in our hands are not enough to fight against the local garrisons, so if we want to use strong means to obtain it, it will definitely not work!"

"Yes, we should also recognize the reality. After all, we have seen it now. It's not that good and bad people were mixed together before liberation. The four of us can act after we discuss it, and we don't care about those government officials who have money and money!" Wang Fugui echoed, "Since If you can’t be tough, then we can only be soft, use the influence of our four families to publicize some staff of the town government, and then let them come forward to win certain benefits for our four families!"

Master Liu thought for a while, and felt that although such a method is feasible, there are still some things to add, "You have also said that the current new government is different from the previous old government. They can act as our spokespersons, but our four major families have been controlling the economic lifeline of Luoxia Town for a long time. The town government has tried to snatch food from us, but it has never been successful, especially in terms of taxation. This time we took the initiative to show our favor Well, there are many people with ambitions and ideals in the town government, and we will definitely make us pay a certain price in order to get the corresponding compensation!"

Master Liu's words caused the other three people to fall into deep thought, and none of them spoke.

After a while, Zhou Xinghe slowly raised his head and said: "What you said is very reasonable! Luoxia Town is high and the emperor is far away, but we have a lot of garrisons here, and power comes out of the barrel of a gun. Whoever has a gun can say Let’s talk! We can’t continue the days of covering the sky with one hand, and this time you are called here because we want to hand over our taxation rights to the government, and then exchange them for the right to mine jade mines!”

Zhou Xinghe's generosity surprised the other three.

"But if we let it go out, the shops below us will have to pay taxes truthfully, which is a huge fee a year!" Li Changzhu said regretfully, "Can you let some of it go?"

"Yes!" Wang Fugui also nodded and felt that Li Changzhu's method was good. Letting go some of them and they can keep some of it.

The head of the Liu family thought for a while, then looked at Zhou Xinghe seriously and said: "If the Zhou family intends to give up the tax money, then the Liu family must follow the Zhou family's lead and is willing to follow the Zhou family to give up."

"Oh, Brother Liu and Brother Zhou, you are really willing!" Li Changzhu smacked his lips, secretly distressed.

"Today is different from the past, and we should recognize the reality!" Patriarch Liu said with a sigh, "Of course I don't want to give up such a huge income, but as the central government gradually collects and centralizes power, the economic and political conditions of our place It also gradually stabilized. The whole country is like that. Our little Luoxia Town can't stand alone, and they won't tolerate us continuing to do this. Shen Wansan in the Ming Dynasty was very powerful, but in the end he was cleaned up by Zhu Yuanzhang The land is ruined!"

"Brother Liu and I have the same opinion on this point that those who understand current affairs are outstanding!" Zhou Xinghe nodded. It's rare that the head of the Liu family is still a sensible person. No wonder the development of the Liu family far exceeds that of the other two.

After Li Changzhu and Wang Fugui heard this, they were silent for a while, and finally sighed, "He who understands current affairs is a hero, although his heart aches, he has to do so!"

"Since you all agreed to give up taxation rights, let's discuss how much we can get from the town government!" Zhou Xinghe was slightly relieved, and there was no need to continue to persuade the two families.

Although he can negotiate with the government if he and the Liu family are tied together, they are not as powerful as the four families united.

It would be best to reach an agreement now.

"If possible, of course I would like to use this tax to exchange for the entire jade mine, and we can even pay for the mining rights of the jade mine!" Zhou Xinghe said in a deep voice, but he had a feeling in his heart that this matter was not good operate.

"Do you still have to pay?" Wang Fugui felt a little unhappy, he had already cut a piece of flesh, and he had to cut another piece of flesh from his body, not to mention how painful it was.

Master Liu nodded after hearing this, "Now we are begging them, not they begging us! Therefore, if we get jade mines, we must pay a very high price! They exchange the mines for our tax revenue. regime."

Li Changzhu thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible, but first we need to determine how many jade deposits are there? I know we're paying such a big bet?"

Hearing Li Changzhu's words, Zhou Xinghe also nodded and said, "Now we still have some bargaining chips in our hands, which are very useful, but as time goes by, the bargaining chips in our hands are becoming less and less valuable! At the same time, Brother Li's concerns are also normal. Yes. If there are so many minerals in the jade mine, it is worth the price we have to pay. If the amount is small, then we will find another way!"

The four families reached an agreement, each wanted to talk about some details, and contributed some power in the family, and then dispersed.

Zhou Xinghe did not leave in a hurry, but sat in the box for a while.

He is full of hidden worries about the future. In front of the other three people, although he also expressed his reluctance to part with taxation rights, he knows that taxation rights are a tasteless thing in their hands.

Although it can bring them a huge amount of income every year, it is also like a time bomb. As long as there is an opportunity, it may be detonated and blow them to pieces.

If there are really a lot of jade mines, they will take the opportunity to give up their taxation rights. Although they may need to pay a certain price, in the long run, it will kill two birds with one stone.
