While sighing and reading the letter, the yellow-haired man smiled bitterly and shook his head. The two people next to him were confused. The strong man with a beard and a halberd in light armor could no longer help it. He said angrily: "Lu Man, what is the matter? Look at your appearance, what makes you difficult to be like that?"

"What else can there be good things? Will there be good things in Lord Xiao's letter? Apart from asking for money, don't you want money?" Lu Man scratched the scattered yellow hair on his head, and squeezed out a smile that was even worse than crying and said: "Our Lord Xiao only has one word of money in our eyes. In addition to asking me to pay the full amount of taxes and fees paid to the Special Administrative Region Finance in the second quarter, I also asked me to pay 50% of the proceeds of the iron ore stocks accumulated through hard work, and said there was no room for negotiation! Do he still want the people from our Shuangdui Mansion to live? Damn, didn't he agree that it would all belong to our Shuangdui Mansion-level finance? Going back on his word, this is not the style of becoming a boss!"

"Haha, I was fooled by Lord Xiao again? Do you think you wanted to get two money and want to get rid of that? Stop dreaming, I think Lord Xiao is thinking about what he dreams?" The bearded man was naturally Helianbo, the commander of the Shuangdui Guard Division. He sucked a fierce cigar in his mouth. Two light blue smoke sprayed out from his nostrils, spreading out in the room, nodding and smiling gloating.

"Helianbo, why are you so virtuous? Will you be better off as a security division without money in Shuangdui Mansion? Damn, don't comfort me, you are actually talking sarcastic here? Boss Liang, do you say this guy is abominable? Is it awesome to me? Is it the best cigar that I just stole from my private study?" The yellow-haired man was furious and complained to the man in the robe who was sitting on the left without saying a word.

"Well, yes, don't give it to him next time. This guy is indeed unreasonable." Perhaps because he was used to the war between the two of them, Ying Ting's man grinned and comforted, "But I think it's probably because the Northwest is really insecure. The Lord has used more than 100,000 troops to solve the siege of the Gerok. Hehe, this expense is not a small amount. If you fight head-on with the Kamans, the casualties will definitely not be small. After this battle, the expenses will be impossible to bear with the current finances of the Northwest County. If Lord Xiao doesn't ask the support of the governments below, will he rob or steal?"

"But he is too cruel, he will take half of it all at once. I have worked hard to get it. I originally planned to invest in building an official iron factory, but now it's all gone." Lu Man was still a little distressed and said unwillingly.

"Hehe, stop crying in front of us, I don't know who is trying to fight the wasteland in the south next to the Luzon border? It is said that there is a very fat land for growing coffee. It turns out that if the bandits were not rampant, they would have been developed long ago, right? Two days ago, some fat-headed and big-eared planters came here to do, aren't they going to buy the so-called wasteland? It's said that it's wasteland. Now the price of Empire coffee continues to rise. Once coffee is planted, it can be said to be a big treasure land." Liang Chongxin looked at the yellow-haired man with a smile and blinked.

The yellow-haired man obviously didn't expect that the other party would even know the news. He was speechless and couldn't speak for a moment.

"Well, and, although the Fu Iron Mine in the north sold its shares, I heard that there could be a few small-scale iron ore next to it. I don't know who was trying to sell the mining rights in the chamber of commerce? I heard that those merchants were looking for ways around to find ways?" A mysterious smile flashed across Liang Chongxin's face, and glanced at the stunned Lu Man, gently leaned back, and comfortably raised his legs and continued leisurely: "Is it the Shuangdui Autonomous Government going to sell the mining rights for free? When did Lao Lu become so generous?"

"Enough, Boss Liang, Uncle Liang, I'll accept you, okay?" Like a puppy with a tail stepped on, Lu Man whined, suddenly jumped out of the seat, grinning and bowed repeatedly, "Don't let the news leak to Lord Xiao and the others. Otherwise, if he will do it again, our Shuangdui Mansion's plan will be ruined."

"Haha, Boss Liang, you're better off. I've stepped on this kid's painful foot at once. Look at his appearance, haha." Helianbo couldn't help but point at the yellow-haired man with a wry smile and burst into laughter, very happy.

Helianbo ignored him, and the yellow-haired man, the guard of Shuangdui Mansion, begged with a bitter face: "Boss Liang, I mean the truth. The large group of people in Shuangdui Mansion still rely on these two tricks. If you have any requirements, just raise it and give it a high hand, can you do it?"

"Haha, bribe, well, dinner is over tonight. Lu Man, I guess you can't hide those two things. Lord Li's news is very informative." Liang Chongxin shook his head and smiled.

"What if he doesn't matter, he can hide it for a while. They will tell you that I can always use it for a while. As long as you don't reveal it, hehe, maybe I can hide it over." Lu Man also knew that it was not easy to hide it, but he was still lucky. "By the way, Boss Liang, I won't talk about the mine. How did you know about the coffee plantation in the south?"

Luman was puzzled by this question, and even Helianbo was very interested, "Yes, Boss Liang, we didn't hear any news about this, how did you know?"

"Haha, have you dug up the root?" Liang Chongxin smiled, "If you want to know, then Old Lu, add a supper tomorrow, how about it?"

"Trade!" Luman gritted his teeth and accepted the other party's blackmail. He couldn't sleep peacefully without asking the inside story.

"Simple, I went to the official iron house two days ago to make a sword for a stolen sword. I was very busy there, so I asked casually. It turned out that the wasteland in the south was to be reclaimed and a large amount of farm tools were needed. I happened to meet the owner of the Luzon plantation who ordered the goods to come to see the goods. I asked a few more questions, it was that simple." Liang Chongxin happily told the whole story.

"It's that simple?" Luman and Helianbo looked at each other. Luman couldn't help but say, "Those idiots won't even get the money to buy wasteland, right? I specifically told them."

"Hehe, who is you, Lord Lu? How can I not understand, you will do a loss-making business?" Liang Chongxin asked back with his eyes blinking.

Luman shook his head speechless, and Helian Bo laughed.

"But the northwest is quite nervous now, otherwise Xiao Tang would not have broken his promise easily, and it is probably very difficult. Lord is using troops again. It is necessary for you to support more. After all, our side is still calm and we can't use it." Liang Chongxin sighed lightly and said, "He doesn't want to go back to the northwest to go to the front line, but the Shuangdui Guard Division has not yet recovered its vitality. It is indeed necessary for the First Division to stabilize the people's hearts, so he can only accept reality.

"Boss Liang, we can actually help and work hard." Helian Bo smiled sinisterly. Linghu Yi's departure made him feel angry. It was the most critical time for training, but he also pulled away his powerful arm. Of course, he complained. However, Linghu Yi was named by Lord Li to serve as the head of the newly established Military Intelligence Bureau. This was also a valuation of Linghu Yi. Of course, he would not stop Linghu Yi. However, this made his courage much heavier. I heard that Yan Tong, the chief of staff of the Northwest Independent Cavalry Division, was drawn to serve as his deputy, but because the war in the east had not yet ended, it was also one of the reasons why Helian Bo was dissatisfied.

"Oh? Helian, what did you say?" Liang Chongxin also looked at this colleague who seemed rough and delicate in his heart in surprise. He knew that the other party would not be aimless and must have some ideas. "What do you think, let me tell you."

Lian Luman's attention was suddenly attracted, and his dark gray eyes were glaring at Helianbo, obviously wanting to hear what this guy has to do.

"Hehe, what is the most headache for us Lord Li now? Isn't it just a shortage of money? Then let's find some ways to help Lord Li get some money. This can be regarded as helping Lord Li solve his problems, right?" Helian Bo replied with a smile.

"Nonsense! Who doesn't know what we lack in northwest now is money! But where does the money come from? If we are tired and exhausted, the economy here will take two or three years to achieve results. The fiscal and tax revenue will increase accordingly. If you want to get money in one go, you will steal it and rob it!" Before Liang Chongxin could speak, Lu Man was already angrily interrupted Helianbo's words.

"Old Lu is really amazing. He guessed my idea at once. Hehe, he is worthy of being an old brother!" Helian Bo praised in surprise.

"I guessed it? What did I guess?" Luman asked in confusion and widened his eyes.

"Huh? Didn't you tell me to steal and rob?" Helian Bo asked with a smile, "This is our good idea."

"Go and steal? How do you steal? "Lu Man was furious when he heard this, "You guys fool me?"

"Who is playing tricks on you? I was going to steal and rob! Otherwise, where would I get the money?" Helianbo smiled stubbornly, but looked at Liang Chongxin, who had been sitting next to him and had never spoken.

"Boss Liang, you-" Luman was also a little surprised, but when he saw this colleague who was responsible for the entire military defense of Northern Luzon, he looked thoughtful and didn't say anything for a long time. He was obviously thinking about something.

"Well, the idea is good, but there are too many things worth discussing here, which are not easy to work, and maybe even backfire." After a while, Liang Chongxin nodded slowly and slightly, holding his beard on his jaw.
