MTL - Liver Progress From the Beginning-Chapter 177 Wealthy Zhong Chao, Cang Youqing and Qin Mengmeng's war

  Chapter 177 The battle between wealthy Zhong Chao, Cang Youqing and Qin Mengmeng!

  Outside the King Kong Martial Arts Hall, someone wanted to see Zhong Chao.

  Inside the courtyard, someone had gathered with Zhong Chao.

   And when they came up, someone teased and said: "Hehe, Brother Zhong, you have now become the most legendary hero in Jujiang City, and you are also the dream lover of thousands of beautiful girls. How are you, are you happy?"

  The one who can talk and laugh with Zhong Chao in such a tone is naturally the eccentric Cang Youqing.

   This kind of jumping character makes Zhong Chao a little difficult to deal with.

  'The mouth is so good at speaking, you must use it well in the future... Pa! '

   After slapping himself, and suppressing the rising anger in his heart, Zhong Chao said righteously:

   "Boring... Also, it's not all good about my reputation."

   In response, Cang Youqing nodded:

"That's true. The nobles in Jujiang City were conquered by you, and they dare not say anything wild. But the nobles in the outer state city heard that our Jujiang City was seated as the champion by a commoner's son, and they were clamoring, what did you say? The giants of Jujiang City are embarrassing and useless, and there are still people who want to challenge you."

   "Let them come here."

   After responding fearlessly, Zhong Chao thought of something and asked:

   "By the way, how are you negotiating with those wealthy merchants, and how much money did you get?"

   It is the norm in this world for troops to be stationed and collect protection fees. If they don’t charge them, not only will people not look up to them, but they will think that the troops are weak and deceitful, and the soldiers will be full of resentment because of this.

  Knowing this, Zhong Chao is naturally going with the flow. He still doesn't have the strength to change the sun and the moon into a new sky.

   Of course, he didn't do nothing.

  Different from other wealthy merchants in the garrison who give back all the money, Zhong Chao only accepts wealthy merchants and wealthy households, but small merchants who are struggling will let some of them go.

   "It's just that the tax for wealthy merchants is the hardest to collect. The income this time may be a little low."

   Just when Zhong Chao was thinking this way, Cang Youqing reported a number that almost broke Zhong Chao's mind.

   "90,000. After negotiating with rich households in the outer city, we collected a total of 90,000 taels of silver. From now on, we can also collect 60,000 taels per month."

   "However, here, you have to take out some and distribute them to the general banner."

   "In addition, the inner city received 180,000 taels of silver, and there will be 120,000 taels of silver every month in the future. Because the two of us are together, you don't have to take one-third, you can take half."

   "???"

   "One, two hundred thousand taels of silver, or monthly? Is it okay for us to take so much?"

  Zhong Chao knows that being an official is very profitable. In his previous life, there were rumors that he had cleared the magistrate for three years and received 100,000 snowflakes of silver.

  Even a local official who is not so ruthless can earn 30,000 taels of silver a year.

   But that was 100,000 yuan in three years, and my side was 100,000 yuan a month. The gap was so big that Zhong Chao didn't dare to take it.

  Even, he felt that this was a pit that Cang Youqing buried for himself, and was going to kill himself.

   However, Zhong Chao was surprised, but Cang Youqing was somewhat dissatisfied:

   "Is 100,000 or 200,000 silver a lot? You are the leader of the commanding army commanding Jujiang City. If it weren't for those **** bullying us and we haven't grown up yet, you can get more."

   "It's really nothing, Lord Baihu, you can afford this money."

   "Master Zhong Chao, don't worry, the money will be fine."

  The three of them were persuading, and even Xi Kang expressed his disdain for these grains of silver, which made Zhong Chao a little unbelievable.

  But soon, he realized that the economy at the bottom of this world is similar to the feudal society in the previous life, but there are spirits at the top, which makes the price of silver taels completely different from the previous life.

  Like Xi’s Restaurant, they have Guiyuan soup, lotus seed soup, and some other spiritual items, each of which is sold at a high price. It is roughly estimated that their monthly turnover is between 600,000 and 800,000 taels of silver. When the season is good, their turnover can even exceed one million taels of silver.

   And the Xi family only operates a restaurant in Jujiang City.

  Under such an environment, collecting one or two million taels of silver in January, as Cang Youqing said, is really nothing.

  'Spiritual things, martial arts... These things make the economic common sense in this life and the previous life have a huge difference. With my economic knowledge that only touches the surface, I can't figure out the logic inside. '

   Unable to understand, Zhong Chao simply stopped thinking about it, he only knew one thing, he became a hundred households, or was stationed in Jujiang City, and he was in control of both internal and external cities, and he was no longer short of money.

   With a lot of money, Zhong Chao started a big shopping mode.

  Soul potion, buy it!

  Life elixir, buy it!

   Medicinal food, buy it!

   Maid mansion, buy... forget it.

   Zhong Chao, who suddenly became rich, opened the mode of buying, buying and buying, which was not beyond the expectations of Xi Kang, Cang Youqing, and Qin Mengmeng.

   It's just that Qin Mengmeng and Xi Kang still admired Zhong Chao when they found that all the things Zhong Chao bought were cultivation supplies and none of them were for pleasure.

  As for Cang Youqing, she was a little happy and a little depressed.

   But she concealed it so well that no one could see it.

  On the other hand, Zhong Chao gradually discovered when buying things that one or two thousand taels of silver may seem like a lot, but it is actually just that when he actually buys cultivation resources.

The price of a bottle of repayment jade liquid is 1,500-3,000 taels. After excluding those given to Zongqi, the money Zhong Chao can control is only one hundred thousand taels. bottle.

   "For warriors, this money is really not much, and most of the money here is contributed by the inner city."

  Thinking of this, Zhong Chao was taken aback.

   "Xiaoqing, how did you receive the money from those wealthy families?"

  Zhong Chao didn't forget that the reason why he gave up the inner city was because the rich family's money was difficult to collect, but now Cang Youqing took the money easily, which surprised Zhong Chao very much.

   "Are they easy to talk to?"

   "How is it possible, I made a deal with them, and only then did I collect the money."

   "What deal?"

"Let them deploy their own people... A hundred households can have a dozen general banners and a hundred small banners. I will clearly mark the prices of those general banners and small banners. Whoever wants to recruit their own children into the inner city will pay for it. "

   "?!"

  After listening to Cang Youqing's words, the four words appeared in Zhong Chao's mind.

  Purchase an official!

   This operation also made Zhong Chao's eyes widen:

   "Are you okay with this?"

   "It's okay, the inner city is the lair of those wealthy families, no matter whether the army is ordered or not, it is as safe as a mountain."

  As soon as he said this, Zhong Chao also realized that he really didn't need to worry about the rich people in the inner city.

  Don’t say if something will happen to them, even if something goes wrong, I won’t be sad, but will laugh out loud.

   "Since you have an idea, go do it yourself, but be careful, don't be caught by someone."

   "Hee hee, are you caring about me?"

   "Of course, I will remember all your kindness to me."

  Cang Youqing was taken aback by Zhong Chao's direct words of acknowledgment, but soon she recovered.

   "Don't worry, I will be very careful, and the Cang family is behind me, even if something happens, it will be turned into a small one."

   "..."

   Zhong Chao didn't know how to answer these words.

   On the contrary, Cang Youqing thought of something, and asked Zhong Chao: "Brother Zhong, a few days ago, you entrusted me and Xi Kang with most of the tasks of commanding the army, are you planning to continue practicing?"

   "Well, I will go when the resources are available."

   "Or go to the Falling Sun Sea?"

"Um."

  Zhong Chao knows very well that he can ascend to a high position without background, and what he relies on for his life-martial arts.

  So, he has always regarded cultivation as the first and the rest as the second.

   For this reason, he entrusted Qin Mengmeng, Cang Youqing, and Xi Kang with the training, rewards, and financial rights of the army.

   This is because he knows that as long as he is strong enough, no matter whether it is these people who are attached to him, or the soldiers who command the army, they will not dare to betray him.

   On the contrary, no matter how close your relationship with them is, once the martial arts stagnate, you will be overthrown by the wealthy family.

   Because of this, after straightening out some trivial matters, he immediately wanted to go to the Falling Sun Sea to continue his cultivation.

   It's just that this idea was rejected by Cang Youqing.

   "Brother Zhong, I suggest you change places."

"why?"

   When asked about this, Cang Youqing didn't answer immediately, but looked at Qin Mengmeng, the meaning in her eyes was obvious.

  But facing her direct gaze, Qin Mengmeng did not leave, but said coldly: "Hmph, I also know why you can't go to Yuyanghai."

After finishing speaking, she said to Zhong Chao: "According to my father, the first impact of the black mist has not yet come. And a few days ago, the reason why there was a black dog eclipse here, followed by evil spirits, It’s because there are cracks in the battlefield ruins nearby.”

   "Yangyang Sea is one of the largest battlefields between the two worlds in our world. If you go to practice there, you may encounter unpredictable dangers."

  After hearing this, Zhong Chao frowned immediately.

  Yangyang Sea is an excellent place to practice for me, without it, my cultivation speed will be much slower.

  When Zhong Chao was distressed, Qin Mengmeng, who had finished explaining everything, felt that he had won, and glanced at Cang Youqing proudly.

   This look immediately made her furious.

   "Hmph, you only know to point out the danger, do you know how to solve Brother Zhong's problem?"

"Uh…"

  Of course Qin Mengmeng doesn't know, after all, she has been in contact with Zhong Chao for a short time, so she doesn't know what Zhong Chao needs at all.

  And her silence made Cang Youqing proudly cross her waist and straighten out her flat chest:

   "This lady knows. Besides, this lady not only knows where is the most suitable cultivation place for Brother Zhong, but that place is also near Jujiang City. If you go there to practice, Brother Zhong can maintain communication with Jujiang City every day."

   These words immediately made Zhong Chao's eyes light up:

   "Is there really such a place?"

   "Of course, doesn't Brother Zhong believe in Xiaoqing?"

   "Of course I believe you, can you tell me where this place is?"

"Okay, but I think this place is a secret that only belongs to you and me... If Brother Zhong is worried, you can tell Xi Kang and Jiang Liang the name of the place and let them go there too, but you can only tell them, never tell someone woman."

  After speaking, she also looked at Xi Kang and Jiang Liang who were huddled in the corner.

   As for them, Cang Youqing didn't have such a good tone, and said arrogantly:

   "You guys, don't talk about my secrets with Brother Zhong."

  This sentence made Xi Kang and the others shrink even more, and they dared not answer.

   Cang Youqing and the others can't afford to provoke them, Qin Mengmeng, they can't afford to provoke them either!
