Lu Bai spread his hands, "Then I'll get the private salt."
After Lu Bai finished speaking, the surroundings became extremely quiet.
A gust of wind blew, and Lu Bai even heard the sound of the window screen fluttering and rubbing.
Deputy Baihu's face turned black.
The faces of the adopted sons were equally ugly, and some of them were already gnashing their teeth.
The admiral didn't look too good either.
Not only did his eyes contain murderous intent, but the smile on his face also had a hint of murderous intent, just like a dog that doesn't bark but bites, which is terrifying.
"Mr. Lu, you are really good at joking." The admiral smiled softly. These words were almost made by grinding his teeth. They were dry and harsh.
Lu Bai blinked, "Everything I said is true, I can swear on my life."
The admiral calmed down his emotions and asked his servant to pour him a glass of wine. He shook the glass leisurely and said, "I would like to remind Mr. Lu that there are rumors in the capital that next year, the salt affairs will be under the jurisdiction of the West Factory. You also know that Dongqi
The factory and the west factory have never been separated, and our family still has some connections in the west factory."
He drank the glass of wine and said, "When the time comes, everything about the salt affairs will be our family's responsibility."
boom!
The admiral slapped the wine glass on the table and chuckled: "So, Mr. Lu, those who achieve great things must broaden their horizons."
Lu Bai had a humble expression, "I've been taught a lesson, but everything I said is true."
One adopted son almost slammed the table.
If you don't want to tell everyone how you sell smuggled salt, please find a better reason and use such a weak excuse to fool yourself. Whose intelligence do you despise?
The admiral decided to clear up the trouble.
Now is not the time to fall out.
Their salt is still in Lu Bai's hands.
"Since Mr. Lu doesn't want to say it, we won't force it." The admiral smiled, "However, when we all work together, trust is still very important."
Lu Bai nodded, "Your Excellency is right, trust is the most important thing. I will have to learn more from the Admiral in the future."
The admiral felt that this was inappropriate.
But he couldn't explain the reason, so he simply nodded happily and continued: "The Holy Lord has rejected the city lord's memorial on exempting the salt tax, so this year the salt tax will be levied normally. For us, this is a huge sum.
For big business, you need to prepare early.”
"snort!"
An adopted son spoke at the right time, "Father, the news I got is that the salt price obtained by Mr. Lu is 80% of the official salt, and the price of the salt sold to Deputy Liu Qianhu is also 80%. If the price is raised,
The price of salt given to Deputy Liu Qianhu and the others does not need to be too much, 90% is enough for us to take advantage of the opportunity, but it is a pity——"
He glanced at Lu Bai, "Because some people have been missed now."
Lu Bai was already drunk now. He glanced sideways at his adopted son and said, "Who is this person? I have a name. You might as well just tell me."
He took a sip of wine directly into the wine gourd and said, "Also, how I want to sell the salt I got and who I want to sell it to are all my own business. You don't care about me."
boom!
Deputy Baihu slapped the table and stood up, "Lu Bai, why are you talking to the adults? Don't forget, we are in the same group."
"roll!"
Lu Bai's words shocked everyone.
"What state are you in now? What state am I in? Let me tell you, whenever a thousand-household seat becomes available, it belongs to me. You can beat the table here -"
Snapped!
Lu Bai also slapped the table and stood up, "What qualifications do you have to slap the table and join the fucking gang? When you asked me to give up my territory and asked me to give three points to the leader of the Black Tiger Gang, why didn't you say anything?
We are a team."
"You! You!" Deputy Baihu was shocked.
He never expected that Lu Bai would scold him like this in front of so many people, especially in front of the admiral.
He was so angry that he said, "You, you are so brave, how dare you act so arrogantly in front of the Admiral."
"Not only am I wanton, I also beat people wantonly!" Lu Bai picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at the deputy 100 households.
Deputy Baihu wanted to hide.
But for some reason, his body couldn't move. It seemed like a hand was grabbing him, making him obediently get hit by the tea cup.
He couldn't move until the warm liquid started flowing down his face.
"you--"
Deputy Baihu was dumbfounded and was a little afraid of Lu Bai for a moment.
This grandson was so wanton and reckless that he didn't know how to restrain himself in front of the admiral.
Lu Bai took another sip of wine.
In the past, he might have been crazy, but he would never be crazy enough to lecture a deputy in front of an admiral.
But it's different now.
After drinking, his actions and thoughts were erratic. He was so erratic that he just did what he wanted to do.
It's not that he has lost his mind, but that they will definitely break up with each other later on. In this case, it is better to break up with him first and let himself feel better.
It can be said that after drinking and getting drunk, Lu Bai became more straightforward and casual.
"It's really not your place to speak." The admiral smiled so brightly that it made people feel chilly.
He pressed his hand down and motioned to Deputy Baihu, who had lost face, to sit down. "Mr. Lu Qi has now reached the realm of cultivation, which is beyond your comparison."
As someone who is also in the Immortal Realm, the Admiral noticed it when Lu Bai made a move just now.
The admiral offered Lu Bai a glass of wine, "General Lu Qi is indeed a young talent, a genius rarely seen in a thousand years. He has entered the realm of cultivation in such a short period of time. I am very happy to congratulate you. Come on, let me offer you a drink!"
Lu Bai used a wine gourd to raise a glass to the admiral, and then took a swig of wine.
Damn, this wine tastes great.
The admiral said: "I heard that geniuses are all proud. I didn't think so before, but now I finally see it. I just don't know who and what sect Lu Zongqi studied under?"
Lu Bai smiled drunkenly, "Hao Qi Sect, Hao Qi Sect, I am my master!"
The admiral's eyes were dark.
He understood that Lu Bai didn't want to say it.
"Master Lu, you are strong and easy to break." He reminded Lu Bai in a sharp voice.
However, since Lu Bai didn't say anything, he stopped asking and finally brought the topic to the right track, "Mr. Lu, how do you plan to do business with the salt you brought back?"
Lu Bai shook his head, "I didn't think about that."
The admiral smiled and simply made it clear, "Mr. Lu, let's see how busy you are. It's inappropriate for us to just sit back and wait for the salt to be sold before dividing the money. Why don't we share the salt you trafficked back with me according to the share we agreed on?"
If you give a few foster sons 50%, let them help you sell it, it will save you a lot of trouble, and it can also share your worries, what do you think?"
Lu Bai glanced at all the adopted sons and nodded, "I think it's pretty good."
The admiral smiled.
This time he laughed from the bottom of his heart, because he didn't expect Lu Bai to agree so happily.
"but--"
Lu Bai raised his eyebrows at him, which was a direct response, making the admiral's smile look like a chrysanthemum beaten with frost.
"It's not 50%, but 20%." Lu Bai stretched out two fingers.
"What!" The admiral was angry.
boom!
His adopted sons even got up in arms and pointed at Lu Bai angrily, "What do you mean, Mr. Lu?"
Lu Bai took a sip of wine and said, "It's not interesting. I just think it's unfair. I went out and fought hard, so why should I give you 50%?"
Deputy Baihu finally had a chance to vent his anger, "Lu, don't forget, if it weren't for the admiral's promotion, you wouldn't be able to reach your current position, let alone join the salt-trading Jin Yiwei team!"
Lu Bai chuckled lightly, "That's what I'm saying. If it weren't for the Admiral, with my cultivation, wouldn't I be able to hold the position of general banner now?"
As for letting him join the Jin Yiwei team that sells salt——
"I traveled thousands of miles to help you transport 20% of the salt back. It costs not more than a penny. If I sell it to you at Yongle City's salt price, it will be worth the credit of the admiral's recommendation."
