Qiuniang and the others have already discussed the share, and Yamazaki's income will be upwards of one hundred thousand taels per year.
The daily net income of the archway is several hundred to one thousand taels, and about one hundred thousand to three hundred thousand taels per year.
No one's money comes from the strong wind, so few people play big games with archways, usually just a few taels of silver for fun.
The archway pays a heavy tax on each card table, which totals 200,000 taels a year, leaving about 100,000 taels left.
The daily net income of the restaurant and guest rooms is less than 500 taels, and more than 100,000 to 150,000 taels a year.
The ordinary tax paid in this area is 50,000 taels a year, leaving about 100,000 taels left.
Huafang's daily net income ranges from a few hundred taels, to around 150,000 taels a year.
This heavy tax is paid according to the number of boats, which is 100,000 taels a year, leaving about 50,000 taels.
That is to say, the net income per year is about 200,000 taels, and everyone will get half of it.
…
Shan Dai was also there, "After working for a long time, the restaurant still brought in money, and with such a heavy tax, it's no wonder that underground archways are so popular."
Yongdao Yi Dayong handed over his hand, "Master, I guarantee that there will be no such thing in our shop."
Yamazaki nodded, "I believe that Lu Tiezhang will not do anything that violates laws and disciplines to attract the attention of the government."
"In addition, I would like to ask everyone, what kind of relationship has Lu Tiezhang had over the past few decades?"
Everyone looked at each other, Qiuniang asked: "What does the leader mean by this?"
Yamazaki asked: "King Dongping sent Lu Tiezhang here and has been running it for many years. Isn't he afraid that Lu Tiezhang will start a family here, build a family, and then abandon him and leave the family?"
Liu Yi, the manager of the restaurant, pondered, "This is indeed a problem. If poison is used to control it, then this medicine will be too terrible."
The brave swordsman Yi Dayong shook his head, "If there really is that kind of medicine, just give it to the emperor, and there is no need to work so hard to rebel."
Yamazaki smiled and said: "So, I asked Lu Tiezhang about his relationship because I wanted to know if Lu Tiezhang was the eunuch next to King Dongping, so he could only be devoted to King Dongping, and he could not stand on his own despite how much wealth he had."
"Ah?" Everyone was surprised.
Liu Yi stood up and said, "I'll have someone check his body."
"Okay, it's time to eat," Yamazaki waved his hand, "I won't watch that kind of thing anyway, but just thinking about it makes me sick. I won't talk about it anymore. Come on, let's drink."
"Indeed." Yongdao Yi Dayong raised his glass first, "Drink."
As Lu Tiezhang assumed the identity of a eunuch, everyone's mental outlook suddenly changed, because no one had a good impression of the eunuch.
…
After three glasses of wine.
Yamazaki talked to Qiuniang again and asked her to prepare for contingency, because Huafang might not be able to continue running in the future.
"How to say?"
Yamazaki summarized: "The imperial court cannot deal with King Dongping for a while, but it can deal with the ships at sea. This is also to prevent the weapons from the island from being transported to the land. There should be an imperial decree that prohibits non-official ships from entering the sea."
"Can't you even paint a boat?"
"The top won't specify, but the bottom will say that even sea-going ships are not allowed."
"Well, if it doesn't work, we can only dismantle the boat and put it on land."
"This is also a way."
…
The drinking party continued until the end, and it was just small talk.
After the show ended, Yamazaki took Shandai away.
Go back to the cloister courtyard and let Shandai look for clues while he looks for traps in the rockery.
I actually found a hole in the ground. The walls of the hole were covered with clay and supported by masonry and wooden boards.
Judging from the uneven cave wall, it must have been dug out with bare hands.
Although this is sandy land on the seaside, Lu Tiezhang really had to practice hard to dig such a hole.
…
There are two rooms in the cave, which are filled with cabinets. The drawers on the cabinets look like places where messages are stored.
Pick one at random, sure enough.
Lu Tiezhang spent all his time here.
Yamazaki found information about the Long family. As he thought, Mrs. Long, the head of the Ryūin family, was the daughter of the Long family, not the daughter-in-law of the Long family.
More than ten years ago, the Long family also recruited a scholar into their marriage. He was a direct disciple of the famous Tianxu Academy on the Southern Road.
He was the concubine of the Sima family, a giant pottery merchant on the southern road, and the two families were married.
But while the wedding was going on, the man died.
Mrs. Long did not remarry. She had nothing to do at home, so she went to Di Ling Academy to become a concubine. After more than ten years, she became the headmistress of Di Ling Academy.
Over the past ten years, the number of men in the Long family has withered away. Because of her position as the female head of Diling Academy, she has proved that she is capable and very influential in the Long family.
That's why Lu Tiezhang came to talk to her. If she agreed, the Long family would have no objection.
…
Yamazaki thought about it and couldn't help laughing, "Ha."
"Brother, why are you laughing?"
"If I wanted to, I could go to the Long family right now to deliver the betrothal gift, marry into the Long family, and become the husband of that great beauty."
"How to say?"
Yamazaki smiled and said: "The imperial court confiscated sea-going ships, and the Long family fleet was the first to bear the brunt. The Long family fleet will inevitably be absorbed by the imperial court."
"It is impossible for boatmen and sailors to get used to government governance. They will eventually cause trouble. But under government governance, unlike merchants, they will be convicted and implicate the Long family."
"There must be a lot of people who are eyeing the Long family's wealth and property. When the time comes, the wall will fall and everyone will push them away, and the Long family will surely perish."
"Even if you let a great beauty like Mrs. Long marry any noble person as a concubine, you can't save the situation."
Shandai understood, "Brother, what can you do to save the Long family?"
Yamazaki smiled and said: "Easy, just destroy the boat now. Peacocks are famous for their beautiful tail feathers. Without the tail feathers, there will be no trouble."
"So that's it, then why don't you go?"
"We are in more trouble. King Dongping will not let us go. If we go to the Long family, it will only make the entire Long family take the blame with us."
"Brother, since you know this, why do you still stir up trouble?"
"I said it was to prevent chaos in the world."
Shandai smacked her lips and said, "I forgot."
Yamazaki sighed: "To be honest, I don't like this kind of sacrificing myself to save the world. I am also forcing myself."
"How to say?"
"If King Dongping drives me into a hurry, hehe, you Jianghu people, if you don't do something to assassinate the king and kill him, how can your reputation be passed down through the ages!"
"You mean to assassinate King Dongping in the future?" Shan Dai was very interested.
Yamazaki nodded, "Yes, among the kings, he is not the easiest to kill, but he is the best to escape after killing him. The deep mountains and old forests cannot stop Qinggong masters, but as long as they escape to the vast sea, no one can catch up."
Shan Dai thought: "Wait a minute, if King Dongping dies, will Shanjia Fort be affected?"
"He doesn't know it's the two of us," Yamazaki said with a smile, "Besides, when the time is right, we'll fake death and escape first, and then go."
"This is fun, I will practice harder. The water vapor on this beach is very full, so my skills should improve faster."
"That's what I think too. Once I'm done with this period, I'll hide at sea and practice my martial arts."
"You're busy, I'll go try it now." Shandai couldn't wait any longer.
"Okay, pay attention to the harmony of the five elements. Don't let one family dominate, and don't act too hastily."
"I understand." Shandai jumped.
Yamazaki stayed in the cave reading a book and looking for clues about the iron fan.
It's a pity that the personnel are not arranged according to weapons, otherwise they would be found at once. Now I can only take a look.
