308. Donations for salaries
Lu Yao and others helped Yu Yanmei prepare a bucket of medicinal bath. When the water boiled, everyone sat in the yard and chatted.
"Master Yu, I heard that Mr. Zuo valued you very much. He suddenly posted a message in the newspaper. Did you invite him?"
"This is really not the case." Yu Yanmei shook her head and said, "It was him who knew the story through the newspaper and took the initiative to open his mouth."
"Zuo Gong... is really a respected person."
Originally, the Linjiang Gang could only struggle for a month or two.
As a result, Zuo Gong said something and instantly became a scumbag in the martial arts world. The huge gang disappeared after only three days.
Li Pei suddenly asked, "Master, what's going on in the war in Western Xinjiang?"
Everyone is very concerned about this issue.
The "Agubo" bandit gang occupied the Western Regions as king with the support of great powers such as Rakshasa and established a country called "Hongfu Khanate".
His leader, "Agubai", was born as a dance boy, that is, **, and it is definitely not a simple person to be able to reach this point.
Unfortunately, it is still a bit too bad to see in front of Zuo Gong.
Yu Yanmei said:
"Last year, while the great powers were fighting, Zuo Gong 'carried the coffin and fought against Agubo and recovered Dihua.
It was winter, and the mountains were covered with heavy snow, and there was also the incident of the Demon Empress Dowager Zuo, so Zuo Gong temporarily stopped his troops.
When the ice and snow melt in March, we will completely defeat the bandits and set up a provincial capital in western Xinjiang."
Li Pei said happily: "I am worthy of being Zuo Gong, so Western Xinjiang should be worry-free."
"It's not too early to be happy." Yu Yanmei shook her head and said, "Agubo is not worth worrying about. The difficulty of this matter lies in the great powers.
Rakshasa, Innet, and Ottoman are all supporting this Agubo and are coveting the Tianshan Mountains.
Zuo Gong wanted to take advantage of the foreigners' internal struggle once and for all. But Gad's decline was revealed, and the great powers took a breath, which may become a variable."
Liao Ya and Liao Qi muttered to each other: "Western people really hate it."
"I've been fighting myself and I'm still here to make conspiracies."
While talking, Liao Ya smelled a strange fishy smell on her sister. When she looked at her delicate and charming look, she instantly realized that the two of them must have done nothing good.
The senior sister of the head spat secretly.
At this time, the water in the bathtub was boiling.
Everyone hurriedly asked Yu Yanmei to take a bath and have a good rest.
Lu Yao also stood up and said goodbye, but when he returned to the room, he found that several girls were not moving there, and he couldn't help but wonder.
In the end, Li Pei came over and explained embarrassedly: "Master wants us to understand her body. If there is a difference between men and women, I won't call you."
Lu Yao:...
Yu Yanmei's body is definitely at the "model" level, and she carefully considers all kinds of benefits without any harm.
The last time I gave Lu Yao to touch and look, it was because the situation was special. After all, breaking the realm of martial arts is like a separation from life and death.
But at this time, we must not be so casual, we still have to pay attention to some etiquette.
Lu Yao had no choice but to lie on the bed and touched his memory.
As long as Yu Yanmei gets familiar with her, she is actually easy to get along with. Li Pei often plays with her big and small, and is not like a master or apprentice or mother and daughter at all, but more like a sister.
At this moment, laughter came from the bathroom.
~~~~~~~~~~
Since they were all back, Yu Yanmei was not in a hurry to leave.
Especially under Li Pei's strong plea, she decided to stay for a while and wait for Zuo Gong to rush back before rushing back.
By the way, I will give some guidance to several people to practice.
Lu Yao naturally wanted to do so, so he ordered medicinal food from Sihailou every day, and was very happy to serve this innate master.
Yu Yanmei was worthy of his hospitality. She focused all her energy on the three young girls and guided them every moment.
The days passed day by day, and it was soon late February.
On this day, Lu Yao was using the key technique of dynamic power to subdue dragons to Li Pei.
They are all old couples, and Lu Yao is not polite. After pressing outside, of course they have to press inside.
Then I washed my whole body with facial cleanser.
The martial arts women are tight and very comfortable.
The most important thing is that this noble royal girl has no airs at all, and she allows him to agree to everything.
And when it's over, Li Pei will squat down gently to help pinch his feet.
With his soles of his feet leaning against the other person's chest, Lu Yao narrowed his eyes comfortably.
At this moment, eunuch Zhang Jin suddenly visited the door and asked for a meeting with important matters.
~~~~~~~~~~~
After paying salute and greetings, Zhang Jin first handed over a document. "Son-in-law, the only son of the leader of Linjiang Gang has been killed. The head servant has seen it and confirmed it is correct."
Lu Yao took a quick look: "He is quite capable of running, has he gone to Nanyang?"
"Not." Zhang Jin echoed: "I shot Meniss with a fake shot, but I ran to Nanyang. I thought I could hide the truth, but I was recognized by a prostitute who had been sold by him. I can only say that I deserved it."
Afterwards, Zhang Jin personally reported the expense account and asked the owner to check it out.
Because the gang leader was killed by Lu Yao himself, he saved 8,000 taels, so the expenses were not much, and the 10,000 taels of silver stored in the bank were not used up.
Lu Yao handed it to Li Pei next to her, and she would check it out. Then she asked: "Have you found out the Meniss who bought a large number of girls?"
Zhang Jin said respectfully: "When I was copying the Linjiang Gang General Hall, the servant went there in person and read all the accounts and letters inside. The purchaser was the Johnson family, a wealthy family in Menis, and his family head was the current vice president."
Lu Yao nodded gently and wrote down the account.
Zhang Jin paused and reported the second incident: "Recently, due to the empty treasury, Zuo Gong called on all sectors of society to 'donate funds'. How much should I donate... Please tell me!"
"Donate money and pay..."
An old saying goes: Before the troops move, food and grass will come first.
If you march and fight, you won’t be able to do it without money.
Although the Empress Dowager's money for the garden building had been cut off, this amount of money was like a drop in the bucket for the huge Western Expedition Army.
But the court was really out of money, and the only little money was not enough to restore the Beiyang Navy. Where did the surplus grain come from to support the war in Western Xinjiang?
Emperor Yong'an was haunted by Zuo Gong for money every few days, and he was so entangled that he had no choice but to issue an order - to allow Zuo Gong to raise funds on his own.
This will is equivalent to giving both military power and financial power, which is to say that people like Zuo Gong can be trusted and respected.
So, the Grand Master Zuo first went to a foreigner's bank to take out a loan.
What’s funny is that when Rakshasa and Innet’s banks saw him borrowing money, they immediately lent 50,000 taels of silver.
You should know that at this time the two governments were plotting against Western Xinjiang, and the actions of the two banks were completely "investors".
But in the bank's view, Zuo Damashu is highly respected and is a high-quality customer who needs to maintain long-term cooperation. As for the interests of his country, it's all my business.
Immediately afterwards, Zuo Gong sent his confidants to the wealthy prefectures, especially major trading ports, to call for "donation of funds and funds."
The textile factory opened by Zhang Jin naturally received a letter.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Lu Yao knew very well that Zuo Gong’s profit will last forever.
At the same time, in order to thank the other party for their previous support from the air, he discussed with Li Pei: "Pepe, how about we donate 10,000 taels?"
The amount of money was a bit too much, and Li Pei hesitated and said, "If we donate ten thousand taels directly, it will make many people unable to come to Taiwan."
Zhang Jin also echoed: "Son-in-law, I found out that the magistrate's yamen has only donated 1,000 taels."
This is like the ones who are good, not the more the better.
Lu Yao nodded and said, "Then donate it in his personal name. Our whole family, including Su Erya, and the textile factory, will each donate 1,000 taels, which is not eye-catching."
Li Pei smiled and said, "This method is good. It not only rewards Zuo Gong, but also leaves face to others, so we don't show off."
Then he ordered Zhang Jin: "Just do what the husband said."
