Master Hu smiled and said nothing while holding the list Huang Bingcheng handed him, while the middle-aged scribe beside him held the folding fan tightly with a look of horror on his face.
"Master Li, what are my adopted son's methods?" Mr. Hu raised his head and asked.
Opening the folding fan fiercely, Master Li said in a deep voice: "Be cruel, cruel, have ideas, and the most important thing is to know how to advance and retreat."
Mr. Hu said slowly: "That's right. The most important thing is that he knows how to advance and retreat. Otherwise, no matter how many methods he uses, it will be useless. In this case, I will take over the property of Shunde Gambling House."
"How much should we leave for Su Xin?" Master Li asked.
"Just keep two thousand taels, and give him the original land of Shunde Gambling House. We only need cash." Mr. Hu waved his hands casually, but he was still in a good mood.
Tens of thousands taels of cash, even for him, the big boss of the Flying Eagle Gang, it was a huge sum of money.
The most important thing is that this money comes with no burden at all.
The person was ruined by Su Xin, and the money was also stolen by him.
Mr. Hu just came forward to coordinate with the government and use his identity to take care of everything.
Even if the government wants to settle accounts with the queen, the crime of stealing family property cannot be placed on his head, Third Master Hu, even if 90% of the money goes to him.
In Happy Forest, Huang Bingcheng excitedly reported to Su Xin what Mr. Hu wanted, but Su Xin didn't have a trace of excitement on his face and just sneered in his heart.
His adoptive father had a much bigger appetite than he imagined. He swallowed up 99% of the silver as soon as he opened his mouth, leaving only two thousand taels for himself.
Fortunately, the landlord of the Shunde Gambling House was not interested and finally left it to Su Xin.
"Old Huang, after excluding one thousand three hundred taels of these two thousand taels of silver, there are still about seven hundred taels left. Is this money enough to simply decorate the Shunde Gambling House and build a hall?"
"Boss, do you want to build a hall? You have enough money. You don't even need to re-decorate it. You can just replace a few plaques and buy a new batch of tables and chairs, but this is against the rules." Huang Bingcheng scratched his head. He seemed to never be able to keep up.
This boss thinks.
Su Xin asked: "Why is it against the rules?"
Huang Bingcheng explained: "In the Flying Eagle Gang, only those at the big boss level are eligible to build a hall. The other small bosses can rent a house and live in it by themselves."
Su Xin knocked on the table and said: "When you say you are qualified, does that mean that the gang rules do not state that you must be at the level of a big boss to build a hall?"
Huang Bingcheng was stunned and said: "It seems so."
"In this case, what does it have to do with me building the entrance to the church?"
When Su Xin wanted to build a hall, he actually had only one purpose, which was to increase the cohesion of his men.
Discussing matters in a small shabby house and discussing matters in a large and bright hall are completely different concepts.
Huang Bingcheng thought about it and finally figured it out.
It's not that the little boss doesn't allow the church entrance to be built, but that no one will build it.
A small leader of the Feiying Gang can only manage three or four streets at most, and his monthly income is only about a thousand taels at most, and even a few hundred.
To build a hall, the land alone requires tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Rather than spending that money to build a church entrance, you might as well keep it for yourself and enjoy it slowly.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. In addition to the necessary expenses, you can keep one hundred taels for yourself, and the rest will be left to you for safekeeping." Although Huang Bingcheng is a slippery person.
It was a bit slow, but the work was done meticulously, and Su Xin felt at ease.
If you want someone to serve you, you must first give him enough benefits. Otherwise, why would they fight to the death for you?
Therefore, whether in his previous life or now, Su Xin is very generous in dealing with his subordinates.
"Thank you, boss! From now on, I, Lao Huang, will sell my life to you!" Huang Bingcheng patted his thin chest and was moved to tears.
Of course, his behavior was mostly flattering, but it was really touching.
He has been in the Flying Eagle Gang for more than ten years, but due to his own strength, he has never been reused despite his slick personality.
Now Su Xin not only gave him the rights, but also gave him all the money in his hand for safekeeping, which immediately gave Huang Bingcheng the feeling that a man would die for his confidant.
After sending Huang Bingcheng away, Su Xin returned to his house and bought a roast chicken to take back with him on the way.
Pushing open the door, Xin'er immediately rushed forward, her little nose arched up and down, and she said in surprise: "Ah! It's roast chicken!"
"Okay, little greedy cat, wash your hands and go eat." Su Xin rubbed Xin'er's little head.
Xin'er nodded quickly and ran to wash her hands obediently.
After dinner, Su Xin had two wooden stakes erected in the yard. He also found Huang Bingcheng and asked him to get two swords for himself while he was doing business at the Yamen.
The weapons made by ordinary blacksmiths are too inferior. Su Xin might as well use this piece of iron in his hand to use that kind of weapon.
The best weapons in Changning Mansion all came from the imperial court.
The weapons such as swords, guns, swords, and halberds in the Changning Mansion Yamen were all replaced by the imperial army after being used, and were distributed to the Yamen policemen in various prefectures for use. The materials are absolutely high-quality, and they are made in batches by craftsmen in the army. They have all been used in combat.
I've seen blood.
Huang Bingcheng went to the Yamen once and brought back two long swords for Su Xin with only fifty taels of silver.
In recent years, the Zhou Dynasty has seen fewer wars, and has also disbanded many armies. Some of their equipment has been distributed to various state capitals, and the quantity is quite large.
There are weapons and armors in a Changning Mansion's warehouse that can arm thousands of people, but the entire Changning Mansion has just over a hundred agents.
Therefore, most of these things can only be left to rust in the warehouse. Let alone fifty taels, even if they are twenty taels, the people guarding the warehouse will happily take them out and sell them.
One of these two long swords is a thin sword, three feet long and two fingers wide, light and agile.
The other is a heavy sword, four feet long and four fingers wide. It is steady and heavy, making it easy to slash.
The blades of these two swords are sharp, and only slight slashing marks can be seen in the details. They must have been re-sharpened, and they are no different from brand new ones.
Su Xin held a thin sword in his left hand and a heavy sword in his right hand, stabbing at the wooden stake continuously.
But what he practiced was not the strength of the sword, but the accuracy of the sword.
Each sword must stop just before it touches the wooden stake. As long as it leaves a mark on the wooden stake, it is considered a failure.
Su Xin now possesses two sword techniques, one is the Jing Wu Ming Quick Sword, and the other is the Da Xumi Sword Style.
Among them, the Daxumi Sword Style is more defensive and has complicated moves. Su Xin mainly wants to use it to make up for the gap when the quick sword kills the enemy, so as not to be at a loss when the quick sword is restrained.
Although Jing Wuming's Quick Sword cannot increase the proficiency to 100%, this sword technique is the simplest killing technique, and what is pursued is to be extremely fast, ruthless, and accurate.
These three points can not only be reflected in Jing Wuming's Quick Sword, but can also be used when practicing other martial arts.
So now Su Xin only improves his proficiency with Jing Wu Ming Kuai Sword, which is just enough to become proficient in the basic skills.
Seeing her brother practicing his sword here, Xin'er sat on the steps in front of the house and watched obediently.
When Su Xin was sweating profusely from practicing, Xin'er went to get water and a towel to wipe Su Xin's sweat.
"Brother, can I learn to sword?" Xin'er stared at the rapier in Su Xin's hand with wide eyes, and there was a look of fondness in her eyes.
"Okay, but why does Xin'er want to learn swordsmanship?" Su Xin looked at Xin'er in surprise. Girls at this age should probably like things like rag dolls. Things like swords are only for boys.
More like it.
Xin'er clenched her fists and said, "After learning swordsmanship, I can protect my brother and fight away the bad guys who bully us."
"Okay, brother, I'll just wait for Xin'er to protect me." Su Xin smiled and rubbed Xin'er's head.
Su Xin handed the thin sword to Xin'er, but Xin'er happily took it, but looked at Su Xin pitifully with a sad face.
Although this sword is said to be a thin sword, the whole sword is made of hundreds of refined steel and weighs more than ten kilograms. It is too heavy for a child like Xiner, who is only seven years old.
Xin'er's two hands together could barely lift the rapier, let alone dance it.
Su Xin smiled when he saw this, took the thin sword, cut off a piece from the wooden stake, and quickly whittled it into a wooden sword and handed it to Xin'er. In this way, the big one and the small one stood in front of the wooden sword, one by one, slashing
The sword in his hand stabbed towards the wooden shape.
One month is neither long nor short.
Su Xin stayed at home in his small courtyard and concentrated on practicing. Many stores in Happy Forest there have been renovated and are ready to reopen.
When things came to a head, the bosses of Happy Forest were also in trouble.
Anyway, their business shares have been given to Su Xin, the decoration of the store has been completed, and a lot of money has been invested. Success or failure will depend on this move.
As night falls, horse-drawn carriages drive in outside Happy Forest. This is the time when Happy Forest should really be happy.
Mr. Sun from the Sun family in the east of the city stepped out of the carriage, looked at the brand new Happy Forest, and said strangely: "Hey, it's not bad for someone who hasn't been here to decorate for a month. I want to have a good time today."
Mr. Sun's family is the largest smuggler of medicinal materials in the east of the city, specializing in smuggling various rare medicinal materials from Nanman and Sanxiang to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Although this business is dangerous, if caught by the Zhou Dynasty's border guards, it will end up being beheaded on the spot, but it is a huge profit. The Sun family's wealth is one of the few in the entire Changning Mansion.
With the financial resources of his Sun family, even if Happy Forest was renovated, he could go to other places to play, but he had been holding back for a month without going out.
No one else, because Mr. Sun is a nostalgic person.
I think that when he was thirteen years old, he was dragged to Happy Forest by his unscrupulous cousin in the family to complete the first experience in his life, so he has real feelings for Happy Forest.
