Chapter 1007 Thirty Years of War (1/2)

"Strategy for the Maximum Level Boss to Abuse Scumbags [Quick Travel]"

Chen Ershao suddenly came up to Chen Tai'an, raised his arm and touched his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother, weren't you not interested in Miss Qi Liu before? Why are you suddenly going to so much trouble to be interested in her now?" ?”

This is a bit strange. Er Shao Chen remembered that Chen Tai'an didn't dare to be interested in Miss Qi Liu before, saying that she was just a idiot with no head. She was beautiful, but she lacked a soul. It can only be used as a vase. If you look at it for a long time, you will get tired of it. The beauties in Jinling City are in various shapes and styles, each with their own style. The women on the Qinhuai River are even more charming and seductive. Who is better than that wooden Qi Yutong? Beauty is good?

Of course, for people like Chen Ershao, he doesn't care if he has no inner connotation and no soul. As long as he looks good enough, that's enough.

Of course, Er Shao Chen is also very self-aware. He is a well-known playboy in Jinling City. Qi Yutong is the apple of Marshal Qi's eye. Her brother is Marshal Qi's most dependent son, and she herself has such a good appearance. He had no hope of getting it.

However, Er Shao Chen felt that Chen Tai'an still had some hope, but in the past he seemed to despise Qi Yutong and had always lacked interest. But this time he suddenly went to great lengths to meet Qi Yutong by chance and was cowardly. Don't think it's a little strange.

Could it be that my eldest brother's aesthetics has deteriorated, and he has changed from looking at inner beauty to looking at outer beauty? Has he finally noticed Qi Yutong's beauty?

Sure enough, the eldest brother is the eldest brother, and he made such a big move, and Qi Yutong was immediately trapped. He has never seen anyone in this world who can escape the charm of hibiscus ointment.

Chen Sanshao was lying there lazily, looking very uninspired. In the past few days, he had been hanging around in the dark with several women on the Qinhuai River, and he didn't know what was going on. If it weren't for Chen Tai'an who had given him After being called back, he was afraid that he would still be lying on the flower boat on the Qinhuai River, sleeping soundly with the woman in his arms.

"Brother, are you trying to find us in such a hurry just to tell us these things? If there is nothing else, I will go back first. I have been working for so long and I am tired."

As Chen Sanshao spoke, he yawned hugely, his swollen eyeballs almost squinting together. He sniffed, stood up holding on to the table beside him, and was about to leave unsteadily.

When Chen Tai'an saw Chen Sanshao's appearance, he couldn't help but frowned: "Third brother, you must have been exposed to heavy smoke, right?"

As he spoke, his voice suddenly sharpened, and the look he looked at Chen Sanshao seemed to be quenched by poison. Chen Sanshao was originally a bit fooling around, but after being frightened by Chen Taian, he immediately became energetic and hurriedly He said: "No, brother, I am not that kind of person. I don't. Brother, what does our family do? How can I not know how powerful that thing is? I definitely haven't touched it!"

Although their family has opened many opium dens and made a lot of money selling opium, their direct descendants will not be contaminated with these things.

Don't look at the fact that they promote smoking as a good thing in the sky and nowhere on earth, but they know very well in their hearts that they are absolutely not allowed to get involved in these things. Whether they can quit or not, it is another thing to say that they have got involved in this stuff. After that, this life will be over.

He had seen a lot of what those people who smoked a lot looked like. They were all skinny and skinny. They looked like skeletons with human skin on the outside. They barely looked like a human being, but they were already empty inside.

He has seen a lot of what people who smoke big cigarettes look like when they get addicted to cigarettes, and he also knows exactly what happens to people who can't smoke big cigarettes, so even if he knows that this stuff really makes people feel ecstasy, It won't be contaminated either.

"Brother, I remember your words clearly. What I don't agree with is that Hu Tianhei has been making a lot of noise in the past few days. He has no energy and wants to go back and take a rest."

As he said that, Chen Sanshao showed a flattering smile to Chen Tai'an and swore that he was definitely not contaminated by heavy smoke. Seeing him like this, Chen Tai'an came closer and took a sniff, except for some heavy powdery smell. Besides, there really wasn't the unique smell of smoke. Only then did Chen Tai'an feel relieved and relaxed his frown.

"Just remember. If it's really a good thing, I won't let you have it. But look at what the men in the other houses look like, and look at what their wives look like after they smoke. "At first glance, those sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law have not been nourished for a long time, and they all look like withered flowers."

After saying this, Chen Tai'an suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a sarcastic smile: "Aren't those who are the most jumping now even unable to give birth to children?"

This kind of cigarette only makes people feel happy when smoked, but there are countless troubles in the aftermath. Regardless of whether a man or a woman is infected, the fertility will be completely ruined, let alone other things. Although it still lasts for a long time, They look like men, but they are all living eunuchs. There is no way to make women pregnant anymore.

And when a woman smokes this thing, her body will be completely destroyed, and it will be even more difficult to get pregnant.

There used to be a lot of concubines and concubines in the Chen family's backyard. The three brothers were obviously the legitimate sons of the eldest lady, but their status was much lower than those of the concubines. Each of those concubines were so arrogant that they wished they could ride on them. If you put it on your head, what will happen? Now it’s not like everyone has to shrink down and become a eunuch.

Everything that needs to be said has been said. Although my two younger brothers have no great potential, they are good at being obedient and sensible. They obey the words of his eldest brother and tell them not to go east or west. The three brothers work together. , and naturally secured his position as the young master of the Chen family.

Now, when people outside talk about the next generation of the Chen family, they only know the three brothers. Those bastards who used to be very good at jumping around are no longer heard from.

No one knows the dangers of smoking better than Chen Tai'an, so he pays great attention to this aspect and restrains his two younger brothers to keep them away from these things.

But other people...

In this world, besides the three brothers, are there anyone else?

Chen Tai'an said a few words briefly. Seeing that the Second Young Master and the Third Young Master Chen looked distracted and obviously not in the mood to listen to him, he sent them away without saying anything more.

After everyone left, Chen Tai'an was the only one left in the study. He turned out the account book and looked at it carefully line by line.

His childhood and teenage experiences made Chen Tai'an unable to trust anyone. Even his two younger brothers, Chen Tai'an was on guard. However, those two younger brothers had no ambitions. As long as they were obedient, he would not treat them badly. Their.

"The tobacco in several opium dens is almost out of stock. It's time to replenish the goods. It's time to send people to the opium fields to take a look. Now is the time when they are blooming. We still need to send people to keep an eye on... …”

Smoking is a good thing in the eyes of many people, especially in the eyes of those big smokers, it is a thing more important than life. Rich smokers can go to opium dens to buy big cigarettes, while those who are poor can We have no money or channels, so we just want to turn our attention to the big tobacco fields.

From April to July, when the tobacco blooms and bears fruit, there will always be some bold people in the tobacco fields secretly trying to get some smoke back.

After all, even crudely made cigarettes can relieve urgent needs. Those smokers who are addicted will not care about anything.

"It seems that we need to send some more people there. Although it's not an important thing, we can't let those big smokers succeed."

"You also need to prepare some things like wooden warehouses. You must not be merciful to those heavy smokers. If you want free smoke, you have to see if they have the ability."

The sky outside slowly darkened, and Chen Tai'an's eyes were dazzled when he looked at the account book. After finally reading the part of the account book in front of him, he raised his head with difficulty, and then stretched out his hand to rub his swollen eyes.

"Xiang Liu, Xiang Liu!"

Chen Tai'an shouted a few times, and a man in Tsing Yi walked in from outside the study. He was Chen Tai'an's confidant. Apart from his two younger brothers, the one Chen Tai'an trusted the most was Li Xiangliu.

"Master, what are your orders?"

After Li Xiangliu came in, he asked respectfully.

Chen Tai'an said: "Assign more people to guard the tobacco fields. If there are people who forcefully break in and grab the tobacco this year like last year, don't hold back and kill without mercy."

When Li Xiangliu heard the words "shoot to kill without mercy", he didn't even raise his eyelids and obeyed obediently. Afterwards, Chen Tai'an gave a few more instructions, and Li Xiangliu memorized them one by one.

"Okay, go ahead and leave as soon as tonight, don't waste time."

"Yes, young master."

Li Xiangliu was about to leave when he was stopped by Chen Tai'an: "By the way, has the hibiscus paste I asked people to get made again?"

Li Xiangliu thought for a while and replied: "It has reached the final stage. It will probably be done soon. If the young master is in a hurry, I will send someone to rush it."

Chen Tai'an nodded and said, "Okay, I'll have someone deliver it directly to me, and prepare a few more beautiful packages."

Li Xiangliu responded one by one, and after confirming that Chen Tai'an had no other explanations, he turned and left.

It's late at night, and the lights in the Chen family's courtyard gradually turn on. Every courtyard is bustling with activity, and it looks like a prosperous and harmonious scene.

It's just that in the darkness where the light has not reached, there are countless beasts that are neither human nor ghosts. They are trapped in the darkness and emit desperate wails, but this sound is covered up by the lively singing and dancing. No one is there. hear.

"This traitor, why is he so brave? Who gave him such courage to stretch his hand so long!"

In the study, Qi Yuanhao looked at the information handed over by his subordinates after investigation, and his eyes were red with anger. With a wave of his hand, all the account books and other things on the desk were swept to the ground. Just like that, Qi Yuanhao Yuanhao was still upset and slapped the table hard with his big hand, making the table bang.

Qi Yuanhao is also a resolute character. Since the last time he heard from Qi Yan that Qi Yan was tampering with his properties, Qi Yuanhao took over all the properties from Qin Minyan and began to sort them out one by one. stand up.

In fact, Qi Yan hid his people very well, and the account books and other things were also very beautifully made. It was obviously the property assigned to Qi Wang, but in the end, seven out of ten people sitting in the core positions were bribed by Qi Yan.

Those people have little other abilities, but their ability to make false accounts is top-notch - raising the price of raw materials, lowering selling prices, falsely reporting labor, and purchasing prices are much higher than the market price.

The price of each of these things seems to be low, but when these things are added up, the price is not low. With such going in and out, pressure and increase, won't the income that Qin Minyan can get be much lower?

This is why these industries are obviously doing well, but the money they receive in the end is getting less and less year by year.

Qin Minyan is not good at these things, and the shopkeepers in the industry under her are all old people who have been working for many years. She probably did not expect that these people would be bold enough to hide it from her, so she did not find anything inappropriate.

Qi Yuanhao just made a simple calculation and found that the profits of the industries controlled by Qin Minyan were at least 40% less.

"Minmin is good at everything, but her sense of money is terrible."

Qi Yuanhao got very angry, blaming Qi Yan for being cruel and cruel, and blaming Qin Minyan for not being able to control the situation. After all, she was a girl from a big family, so why was she so confused about accounting?

Then I thought about Qi Wang saying that he didn't have much money on hand, so the investment in the arsenal couldn't keep up, and there was only one weapon developed.

"Father, if it weren't for lack of funds, I think I would have developed more weapons, but I also know that the world has not been peaceful in the past two years... In the end, it was my wish."

Thinking of the effectiveness of the long gun developed by Qi Wang, Qi Yuanhao's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"It's all Qi Yan's little bastard. I'm not good enough to him. I gave him more than half of the family's property. Isn't the money he earned enough? He actually put the idea on his elder brother's head. Go up, what is he going to do?"

Seeing that Qi Yuanhao was so angry that his head was smoking, and the veins on his forehead were popping up, Qi Yuanhao's confidants were afraid that something might happen to him when he was angry, so they hurriedly spoke out to calm him down.

"Commander, don't be angry. Think about it in a positive direction. This should be a tiger father without a dog son. Although the second young master has no talent in fighting, he is a good hand in business. Isn't he like the eldest young master? Are they complementary? If these two brothers can work together, one masters the outside world and the other controls the internal affairs, wouldn't they be invincible in the world? "

Qi Yuanhao's deputy is named Xu Shaohe. He is related to Qi Yan's mother, Xu Zhaorong. It is inseparable from Xu Zhaorong that he can sit in his current position.

For this reason, he naturally wanted to help Qi Yan speak.

After what he said, Qi Yan's wolf ambition became that he had means and strategies, could hold so many people in his hands quietly, and make everything perfect and seamless, without anyone noticing at all. Not to mention, this scheming method alone is extraordinary.

"Marshal, think about it carefully. The arsenal is a money-burning thing. If there is no financial support, it is not easy to achieve results. The young master is not good at management, and his thoughts are not on these industries. You Such a huge industry needs someone to take over, right?”

"The second young master is still young after all, and he is very sharp. Maybe he did this for no other reason than to help you solve your problems and prove himself."

Qi Yuanhao was not angry at the son who looked most like him. He just said those words out of anger. Now being comforted by Xu Shaohe, Qi Yuanhao slowly calmed down and thought about it carefully. Thinking about it, what Xu Shaohe said still makes sense.

"What you said is true. The second brother is arrogant and has refused to admit defeat since he was a child. I think I told him in front of him that he is not as good as his brother, so he may have thought about it now. He wants to use this method way to prove yourself.”

Xu Shaohe has been with Qi Yuanhao for so many years. As soon as he opened his mouth, Xu Shaohe knew that Qi Yuanhao's attitude had softened.

Come to think of it, the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh, and Qi Yan hasn't done anything harmful to heaven and earth. How can there be an overnight feud between these brothers? It's just a small friction, and if you try to reconcile it, the relationship will naturally return to what it was before.

After calming down, Qi Yuanhao sat back on the chair. A look of exhaustion appeared on his brows. Looking at the evidence he had collected, he smiled bitterly and said, "Shao He, what do you think we should do now?" What should I do? The money is not a small amount. There should be an explanation from the boss, but I don’t want to be too harsh on the second brother. After all, I am sorry for him. If it weren’t for my childhood... Oh, why don’t we, the children, Do you understand what I want as a father?"

The reason why Qi Yuanhao is protective of Qi Yanduo is not only because he looks the most similar to himself, but also because when Qi Yan was a child, Qi Yuanhao took him out for horseback riding. As a result, the weather was very good when he went out. Halfway through the journey, it started to rain heavily. Qi Yuanhao did not take the rain seriously. After all, how many of them were marching to fight and had not been wetted by the rain?

But he forgot that Qi Yan, who he brought out, was only six years old at that time and was still a child. He was soaked by the rain and didn't change clothes in time. He waited until Qi Yuanhao took him home. By that time, he had already developed a high fever.

That time, Qi Yan had a high fever for several days and almost didn't survive it. Even though he got better later, there was something wrong with his lungs and he couldn't do anything too drastic. It was impossible for a person with such a flaw to take over the team. .

Because of this incident, Qi Yuanhao felt guilty towards him. In addition, Xu Zhaorong never blamed him, and Qi Yan never mentioned this incident after he became sensible. The two of them being sensible made Qi Yuanhao even more Feeling guilty, I can't help but favor the mother and son in my daily behavior.

It's like he gave Qi Yan an army, an arsenal and some industries. In order to make up for Qi Yan, he gave more than half of the remaining industries to Qi Yan, but Qi Heng, who was also a concubine, did not How much is divided.

As for Qi Yan's property, Qi Yuanhao never interfered too much, but left everything to him. The reason for this was just because of the debt.

But what he didn't expect was that Qi Yan, who held so much of the Qi family's property, was not satisfied and reached out to Qi Wang's property...

But even like this, he didn't have much anger towards Qi Yan.

Xu Shaohe naturally knew Qi Yuanhao's preference for Qi Yan. Seeing that his expression softened, Xu Shaohe took advantage of the victory and pursued him: "Commander, look, it's better than this. You ask the second young master to supply the missing money to the young master. Of course, all of this is Do it secretly, and then you are looking for someone to smooth things over, introduce a few scapegoats, and the matter will be over. "

"As for the second young master, he should be punished for doing such a thing. Why don't you reprimand him severely, let him know that he was wrong, and offer wine to apologize to the eldest young master, and promise not to do it again in the future? What do you think if you do it again?”

This is a good idea.
