"Okay, two days are only two days." Li Qimo didn't want to get involved with Zhong Yi over these details. After all, it was getting late, and he wanted to go home to bed early. He said again, "You just tell me how much is it?"

"Mr. Don't be anxious. You have to eat one bite at a time, right?" Zhong Yi smiled and continued to say while tying the abacus. "One hundred Marines, each person's daily meal costs fifty pounds per day..."

Hearing this, Commod was stunned and Li Qimo jumped up from the chair.

"Oh Tfak?" Liqimo said in disbelief, "Everyone pays 50 pounds a day for food? What did you give them food? It's so expensive?"

"That's right." Zhong Yi said righteously, "The ingredients given to them are actually nothing special. They are just the most common ingredients and are not worth much money. This fee is mainly generated in the safety link. First of all, I must ensure safety and cannot poison the marines of the Royal Navy of the British Empire. You said right? Therefore, the ingredients purchased must undergo the highest-standard safety inspection."

"What do you mean," Li Qimo said with a dark face, "This fee is mainly due to security inspections, right?"

"Yes." Zhong Yiyi said sternly, "In order to ensure safety, we used the most advanced detection equipment and the security inspector with the richest security experience, so the cost is a bit high, but in order to ensure the safety of the Royal Marines, I believe the Minister can understand it, right?"

Can I say I don’t understand? Li Qimo thought to himself.

However, even if each person is fifty pounds a day, one hundred people are only ten thousand pounds a day in two days, Li Qimo can barely bear it, just think that he was extorted by the other party.

At that moment, Li Qimo said again: "Is there anything else?"

"Of course, I said just now, don't worry." Zhong Yi smiled slightly and said, "The daily food expenses for each person are fifty pounds, one hundred team members, for two days, that is ten thousand pounds."

"However, this is just food and accommodation."

"Casino fee?" Li Qimo felt that he was about to explode, but he held back.

"Yes, there is also accommodation fee." Zhong Yi said without caring, "In the same way, in order to ensure the safety of the lives of the Royal Marines of the British Empire, especially not to let them commit suicide, we equipped the cell with the most complete security measures, with straw, and the guards with the richest security experience."

"Same as food expenses, they are calculated based on the head and the number of days, each person is fifty pounds per day."

"So, this is another £10,000 fee. The two are already £20,000."

"Okay, 20,000 pounds!" Li Qimo said angrily, "Mayor, there is no other fee, right?"

Twenty thousand pounds is Li Qimo's limit. If Zhong Yi dares to add it, he will not plan to give it, because adding it will cause trouble.

Zhong Yi had no intention of stopping when he saw it.

With a slight curl of his mouth, Zhong Yi continued: "Mr. Minister, the cost of food is small. The labor used to detain this hundred Marines in your country and the labor costs incurred are the big ones."

He paused and said, "In order to complete the disarming of your country's Marine Corps, we mobilized a total of 3,198 merchant groups in Xiaoxiang Town, 1,127 merchant groups in Luotuo Town, 986 merchant groups in Shi Town, and 806 merchant groups in Zhuangshi Town, I will make up for it."

He turned the abacus back and said, "There are 6,17 people in total."

"So?" Li Qimo laughed in anger, "How much do you plan to charge each person?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Minister, we Chinese people pay the most attention to integrity. We are definitely price-placing, and we are not deceived." Zhong Yi grinned, revealing two rows of big white teeth, and said, "The four militias are all strong laborers. We use the lowest standard. Each strong laborer's daily wage is one pound. This price is already very fair."

Li Qimo laughed angrily and said, "How did you calculate the minimum standard?"

"It is calculated based on the income of taxi drivers in one day." Zhong Yi said, "You London taxi drivers can earn about one pound a day. The wages of the militia's strong men cannot be worse than taxi drivers, right?"

Li Qimo was powerless to refute Zhong Yi's logic and rolled his eyes and said, "What about next?"

Zhong Yi smiled and said, "Because I was busy until very late yesterday, the strong men of the militia could not get a rest, so it would definitely affect the next day's work, so it would have to be calculated based on two days."

He paused and said, "Six thousand, one hundred and seventeen people, two days, that's 12,234 pounds. For the sake of calculation, let's add another zero, even 15,000 pounds, okay? Of course, this is just wages. In addition to wages, there are also the round-trip car and horse fees, food fees and tonight's accommodation fees."

Hearing this, Li Qimo finally couldn't hold back and exploded completely.

"You are openly blackmail!" Li Qimo roared, "You are simply a robber, a robber!"

"Fake, do you have the face to say that we Chinese are robbers?" Zhong Yi slapped the table suddenly, stood up suddenly and said righteously, "We didn't want to buy your opium back then. You used warships and cannons to knock on the Chinese door, and forcing the Chinese to buy your opium? Is this considered a robbery act?"

"At that time, you fought all the way to Beijing, and the soldiers robbed countless rare treasures, but they burned our royal gardens to destroy the evidence. Is this considered a robbery? Over the years, you have forced China to sign one treaty after another, so that every Chinese owed you tens of thousands of pounds without doing anything. Is this considered a robbery?"

After being slapped by Zhong Yi, Li Qimo immediately stopped and remembered what Kang Mod just said.

At this time, Zhong Yi almost put his face in front of Li Qimo's eyes, and his saliva was sprayed directly on the other person's face, and he said, "What qualifications do you criminals and prostitutes have to call others a robber? I'm just putting my words here today. If you don't take out 100,000 pounds, don't think of redeeming people!"

"Oh?" Li Qimo said in a lost voice, "100,000 pounds? Why don't you grab it?"
