When you want to marry a wife, you must marry someone who has passed down the poetry and calligraphy family.

It’s like the second daughter-in-law did that, haha...!" Li Xiao smoked a cigar and sneered.

Li Hao knew that his second sister-in-law, Mrs. Zheng, was in big trouble.

If the grave-digging brother can still tolerate it, Li Xiao will definitely not tolerate accepting other people's money to dig up the foundations of the Ming Dynasty.

"By the way, does your second brother know what Zheng did?"

"I haven't seen my second brother for almost a year, so I can't say anything like this in a letter."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about your coming to the imperial court as a deputy assistant."

"Brother, Beijing Migui. Please tell my sister-in-law that I... am short of money."

"You kid, if you don't want to collect carbon, please come to your brother's place to get stuck on gas." Li Xiao was a little annoyed. Logically speaking, he is the most qualified to collect things.

But...but now, confiscating something doesn't count, and he is being blackmailed by his younger brother.

"Accepting other people's money means you have to do things for them. Taking your money, big brother, is called helping your brothers.

Different! Different.”

"Hmph! You kid...!

I heard that your sister-in-law sent people to Afghanistan to mine copper mines.

I heard that the preliminary exploration has already been completed. If you are really short of money, then ask your sister-in-law to buy a share."

Li Xiao is still soft-hearted!

After all, he is his biological brother, so he has to help him no matter what.

"Thank you, brother." Li Hao was so happy that he almost jumped up from the sofa.

The Ming Dynasty was short of copper, and the copper mines within the territory simply could not make ends meet.

Due to industrialization and the continuous construction of power plants, the use of copper continues to increase!

Although domestic copper prices do not change every day, they are rising almost every month.

Under this background, going overseas to get some copper mines and bringing them back is a good business that can make a lot of money every day.

This kind of business, where you can make a lot of money with your eyes closed, is extremely difficult for ordinary people to get involved.

But Tokugawa Chihime has no problem, after all, her man is the strong man who controls the greatest force on the planet.

It is an exaggeration to lay down a million corpses in a rage, but Li Xiao can do it now.

"The main reason why you came to the capital is...!" Li Xiao said a few words and then couldn't continue.

Li Hao's butt seemed to have hemorrhoids, twisting back and forth.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Xiao looked at Li Hao helplessly.

"Brother, this cigar of yours is impure. You're going to have diarrhea as you smoke it. I'll talk to you later. I'll go there for your convenience."

After Li Hao finished speaking, he disappeared in a flash.

Li Xiao was so angry that his hands were shaking. It was the first time I heard that smoking a cigar made me want to have diarrhea.

No need to think about it, Li Hao must have gone to Tokugawa Chihime to fight against the autumn wind.

I was relieved, but I didn't know how much this boy could take from Tokugawa Chiki.

But then again, they are all brothers. The meat rots in the pot and the fat does not flow to others.

"Commander! The Empress of Russia called and said that the Central Asia Railway will be closed in two months. I would like to invite you, Marshal, to attend the closing ceremony!"

Shunzi walked in and asked Li Xiao for instructions.

"I won't go, it's too far! My move will involve too many people." Li Xiao waved his hand.

It’s just another trip to Uralsk!

Is there any good scenery in that place? Li Xiao is not interested in walking there again.

"No!" Shunzi saw that Li Xiao didn't look well, so he quickly promised and left.

"Wait a moment and let Luzhu come." Li Xiao suddenly ordered.

"No!" Shunzi's eyes were stunned. What happened that made Li Xiao call Luzhu over in such a hurry?

After learning of Li Xiao's summons, Luzhu quickly came to Li Xiao's office.

"Commander!"

"sit!

I called you here because I wanted to ask you how the Zheng family makes money overseas." Li Xiao asked while smoking a cigar.

"Zheng family?" Luzhu didn't understand for a moment which Zheng family Li Xiao was referring to.

"Oh, my second daughter-in-law. Mrs. Zheng!"

"oh!

She was overseas and dug the tomb of the Egyptian Pharaoh. I heard that the harvest was very rich, and the gold coffin alone weighed more than 200 kilograms."

"I don't want to hear these trivial things. I want to know how she resold warships."

Li Xiao interrupted Lu Zhu’s report!

This was the first time that Lu Zhu was interrupted by Li Xiao to report.

She knew that Mrs. Zheng might be unlucky this time. She really didn't know who had such courage.

He actually brought Zheng's matter to the Marshal.

But now that things have reached this point, we can only tell the truth.

"The reselling of warships has actually been going on for a long time. But she only dares to suppress the ex-factory prices of Java shipyards and Singapore shipyards.

She doesn’t dare to interfere with the prices of Lushun Shipyard and Huangdao Shipyard.”

"Yeah! Including those warships?"

"She participated in the reselling when the Ming Dynasty first auctioned old steam engine battleships. Later, all the honest steam engine battleships were sold to European countries!

She stopped for a while, and during that time she was mainly engaged in maritime trade.

Later, you agreed to sell new warships to the Europeans. Then she...!"

"There are so many profitable businesses that can be done, but I just want to do this kind of business.

I also heard that the Marine Corps is overseas and the life of the soldiers does not seem to be very good. Is there anyone withholding military pay?"

The Liao army's military pay and treatment have always been generous, and the treatment for troops stationed overseas is even better.

Those who abandon their families and careers will receive poor treatment and no one will be willing to go.

"As far as I know, there is no such thing as withholding military pay.

only……!"

"Just what?" Li Xiao asked immediately after seeing Lu Zhu hesitate to speak.

It's a bit strange that the Ming Dynasty's most ruthless spy chief can speak hesitantly.

"That's right! Although people like the Marine Corps earn generous salaries overseas, they also spend a lot of money overseas."

"The expenses are huge, what expenses do they have. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all spent on the imperial court." Li Xiao was even more surprised.

"Mainly..., mainly spent on women and gambling."

Luzhu said hesitantly.

"Gamble...!" Li Xiao was speechless. As expected, women and gambling are eternal topics for men.

Domestically, the Liao army controlled the situation fairly well.
Chapter completed!
