After thinking about it, if the relationship between the two sides is in a mess, it will be uncomfortable to get stuck in the middle. So Tiesheng advised: "Bai Er, even if you want it, it is best to ask for less. There are already many people saying strange things behind the scenes you gave during the New Year."

When giving the New Year gift, Qin Bai did not go there in person, but just asked Tiesheng to hand it over. He gave it to Feng Sihai and Zhang Jiuyun each with one hundred taels. As for the He Mansion and Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall, there was nothing wrong with it. This attitude was very disrespectful, and it was only a short distance from tearing apart.

Qin Bai shrugged: "Our public account is still in deficit. After so many times, how much does the soup and medicine pension cost? Did He Mansion and you Zhenwei help us? I didn't think about asking them to pay for people and money, but in the end, it was better to let Fenglong Money Shop get a debt? Anyway, who would pay attention to their strange words? There was no more money, and brothers beat us to death. Shouldn't you consider them first?"

Tie Sheng had struggles in his eyes. He also had some insights these days. Speaking of loyalty in the world, he still had to rely on money to support it. If there was no oil and water, who would follow him in the future? To be honest, some newcomers are already unstable now. If Qin Bai really didn't help today, it wouldn't take long, and most of them would definitely disperse.

Looking at Tie Sheng's expression, Qin Bai smiled slightly. I believe Tie Sheng will sooner or later understand that if he just wants to do a slaughter, then being able to get brave enough is enough. But it is not that easy to become the head of the family. Only with money can you have loyalty. If you only have loyalty but no money, you will sooner or later be in the wild.

After thinking about it for a while, Tiesheng no longer had any worries. He was not a person who likes to use his brain and speaks. He looked up and asked, "How is the private mine? Why are you back today if you have time?"

"I negotiated with the Mule and Horse Market a few good horses before the New Year. This time they sent five of them. I heard that the breeders were all war horses used by the generals. Anyway, I have seen all the big jackals. I don't know if they came from the generals, but they are better than ordinary war horses. 80 taels per horse, they are so unscrupulous. When you go and pick one, you are the second in command. If you don't have a good horse, it will be a shame for us to win."

Tiesheng's eyes twitched a few times, and it cost 400 taels to buy a few horses, but he was only willing to give 200 taels to the New Year gift? If the news reached Zhenwei, I don't know how many people would swear. Especially his master Zhang Jiuyun, who had cursed in Tiesheng's ear several times, calling Qin Bai a "unfamiliar ungrateful wolf."

Shaking his head and throwing all the distracting thoughts out of his mind. After all, Qin Bai is the boss, and whether it is good or bad is his business. Tie Sheng said again: "Did you hear about the monk's affairs? Those bosses in Laizhou City say that he is not qualified and say that you must come in and discuss it?"

"Hmm?" Qin Bai was stunned. He was busy in recent days and had never heard of this. "Didn't the monk have already planted a flag on the territory half of the southern city? He is now strong and has a reputation in Laizhou City. Who is qualified if he is not qualified?"

Just like Tie Sheng's situation, the monk had a lot of people, so there was a place to start construction. So the monk began to expand to the outside world and captured half of the territory outside the southern city. When paying New Year's greetings, the monk once told Qin Bai in person that he would quit for the time being and that the new territory would be digested first.

"Who made you the boss? The monk has no independent portal." Tie Sheng smiled, "I heard that the monks also snatched half of the streets in the city. Those bosses asked him to withdraw, otherwise they would join forces together."

Then Tiesheng briefly introduced the situation. The monk did a lot of work. The territory outside the city was not very good, and there were no more powerful gangs. Maybe a few green-skinned gangs held up a flag to occupy the area, even if they opened. The monks basically chose such territory to expand, so they would pick the persimmons. Unfortunately, one of the gangs happened to have half a street in the city, so after the annexation, the monk took it down.

However, this caused public anger. The local gang in the city asked the monk to withdraw from the outside of the city and gave them the half street. Of course, they would not meet and then start a fight, so they would definitely need to negotiate first. In this way, negotiations would require the boss to come forward. Generally speaking, even if the monk has that strength, he would have to avoid suspicion, otherwise, it would be easy for outsiders to speculate that he had ambition.

Qin Bai was speechless. He really wanted to say to the monk: "You are thinking too much!" I wish the monk had ambitions, so it would be better to be independent and he could lose a lot of burden.

After thinking about it, I had to come forward by myself. So Qin Bai asked, "Have you made an appointment for a time and place?"

"Five days later, Baihua Building on Paifang Street."

"Okay, I'll go there." In broad daylight, there will be no problem with safety in the most lively place in the city.

...

Five days later, Qin Baicheng walked into the Archway Street with monks, big eyes, Heizi and others. There were painted beams and carved buildings on both sides, which made people dizzy. Many people here were poor families, and they had never had the chance to enter such a wealthy place. They all looked around and seemed to be unable to move.

Qin Bai smiled slightly, slowed down, and asked the monk behind him: "What do you think?"

The monk made a laughing and crying expression: "Brother Bai! I really don't want the territory in this city, but I can't throw it out even if I deliver it to you for free? And we also have to sell matches in the city. Although I am not afraid of them, I can't be careful to cause trouble every day. I can give it to them, but I can't lose our reputation as brave and victorious."

Qin Bai nodded. He already understood the monk's meaning: "How much is this territory worth?"

"Five hundred taels!"

"Then should the monthly income be around fifty taels?"

"Yes! In fact, it's almost enough to give two hundred taels. It doesn't matter how much money is. The main reason is that they bought it. They didn't force us to leave. The reputation outside would be bad. Hey, Brother Bai, can you give more boxes per month? I'm not enough to sell it here?" Looking at Qin Bai, the monk was a little nervous. Those merchants finally found that there were matches in Laizhou City, so they found a way to find the monk. Therefore, the monk didn't care much about the possibility of giving up the territory. What he cares about now was to get a few more boxes of matches.

After looking at the monk, Qin Bai smiled and said, "Then I will give you an extra 200 boxes per month. The price you sell is as you want, and you will be as you can sell it wherever you want. But remember, the 250 boxes I gave you before can only be in this Laizhou City. The others can only be 20 boxes per person at a time. Brothers, I have a word first. If you violate it, I will deduct it in the future!"

The monk was delighted and didn't care about those strange requests. It was just to ask a few more merchants to sell them a few more times, and there would be no more trouble. Moreover, from what Qin Bai said in his words, he did not object to selling them to those outside merchants.
