Cheng Gao is dead, so there is no need to be so strict in the Baihusuo. Besides, it's not good to go to Li Kun's house with a knife.
Wu Nian came to visit wearing a worn-out cotton-padded jacket.
The concierge of the Li Mansion was very discerning and enthusiastically invited Wu Nian to come and sit down in the main room.
Before his butt was warm from sitting, he saw Li Kun walking in from outside with a smile on his face.
"Master General Banner." Wu Nian stood up politely and saluted Li Kun with clasped fists.
This Mr. Li Qi is so good at life. Wu Nian respects him more. If Cheng Gao was like this, how could there be so many things?
"You're still following me through such red tape." Li Kun pretended to be angry and glared at Wu Niandao.
"Haha." Wu Nian chuckled and said smoothly, "It's my fault, little brother."
"Haha." Li Kun was satisfied, and then sat down with Wu Nian on the main seat across the coffee table.
"Brothers. Brothers will settle the accounts. According to the agreement, we will split the family property fifty-fifty. This time I smoothed the relationship and settled the family. This part of the money must be accounted for the two of us."
Li Kun said to Wu Nian seriously.
Although he and Wu Nian are now brothers, he is actually a little afraid of Wu Nian in his heart. This guy really does whatever he says.
He was afraid that Wu Nian would misunderstand and calculated the accounts clearly.
"This is what it should be." Wu Nian nodded. There is no reason to ask Li Kun to pay this money for nothing.
"The property of a family. Mainly land, house, shop, cash, slaves, horses, and carts."
"His properties, houses, and shops are all over Beishan Fort and the surrounding counties. Based on calculations, I have several distribution plans. For example, do you want slaves or not? Do you want the fields, houses, and shops in the county, or don't you want the county? fields, houses, and shops.”
Li Kun cheered up and started talking, looking very professional.
After Wu Nian thought for a while, he said: "Brother. I only want the property and shops inside and outside Beishan Castle. I don't want any of the slaves. I will keep all the horses."
Running such a large property requires a lot of manpower.
For example, a grain and oil store in Ding County needs a shopkeeper, assistants, and a cashier. Wu Nian started his business barefoot and didn't have much background, so he couldn't manage it.
During this battle, he killed many slaves from married families, all of whom were related by family members.
He also didn't dare to use married slaves for fear of causing trouble.
All it takes is the fields, houses and shops inside and outside Beishan Fort, as well as cash.
"Okay. That's the plan." Li Kun was prepared. He took out several pieces of paper from his wide sleeves, looked at them, and handed one of the pieces of paper to Wu Nian.
Wu Nian reached out and took the paper and looked down.
The accounts are calculated very clearly.
There is a three-level mansion in Beishan Castle, two cloth shops, 500 acres of farmland, two horses, 200 copper coins, 150 taels of silver, and 20 taels of gold.
"That's it." Wu Nian was very satisfied with this, put down the paper in his hand, raised his head and said to Li Kun.
"Okay. I'll go through the formalities later. These things will be yours tomorrow." Li Kun smiled and nodded.
"Wait a minute, brother. There is something I want to discuss with you." Wu Nian raised his hand and said.
"Tell me." Li Kun said cheerfully.
"Can I be the general flag?" Wu Nian asked with a flash of light in his eyes.
Li Kun felt dizzy and sighed: "Brother. You have only been a Xiaoqi for a few months, and you are already thinking about the General Flag?"
"Honestly. Can't."
"Unless you have military exploits or spend a lot of money to open the joints."
Wu Nian didn't have much hope in this matter. Beishan Fort is in a peaceful era, and this promotion takes time to accumulate. He now has such a big property. If peace continues, in a few years, he will be able to save money to open up the joints.
"I want to go out and buy some slaves and use the money to raise a team of domestic soldiers. Do you have any connections?"
Wu Nian asked.
The existence of the Meng Yuan people was like a sharp sword hanging over his head. He instinctively wants to expand his troops, expand his troops, and then expand his troops.
Since there is no general flag, we can only recruit a team of family soldiers.
Li Kun was not surprised by Wu Nian's actions. This Lord Xiaoqi had recruited a complete army of soldiers and was the only one in Beishan Fort.
"Brothers. The reason why we officials recruit domestic soldiers is because domestic slaves are the sons of the family and have been slaves for generations. They are relatively loyal. If you buy slaves from outside, your loyalty will not be reliable."
When Li Kun said this, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he said to Wu Nian: "Brother. Or I can find a way to get some domestic slaves for you, and you can find strong ones to train as domestic soldiers."
"Besides. Have you heard of Zhang Jin?"
Wu Nian's eyes flashed with brilliance.
Zhang Jin. He really remembered this name.
This man was born in the military, was proficient in boxing, swordsmanship, spearmanship, and was proficient in bow and horse. He was a very powerful guy.
But in this era, you can't be an official without money.
Zhang Jin has always been a soldier.
Later, his friend offended the local flag and wanted to be beheaded. In a rage, he killed Xiaoqi and fled to the mountain.
I heard that there are more than a dozen families located on Phoenix Mountain, about fifteen miles northwest, all of whom are exiled military households.
"Turning exiled military households into domestic slaves is also a routine for us officials. This Zhang Jin is very capable and arrogant. Many people wanted to recruit him, but he didn't agree. I think you can do it, brother. .”
"Brother, you collect the seals and wait for a dozen households, and I will buy you a dozen households of slaves. You can not only refine a team of domestic soldiers, but also let them monitor each other. You won't be able to bully your master."
"My slave can also serve you, help you farm, and manage the cloth shop in Beishan Castle. You can accomplish more with one stone."
"But there is one thing, brother, you have to think about it. Zhang Jin is a capable person, he is also loyal, and he is probably reliable. But he is a murderer after all. Liaodong is unstable now, and many laws of the court have become invalid."
"But if Liaodong stabilizes, then if you take Zhang Jin in, you will be reported. You will also have to face a lawsuit."
At the end of the sentence, Li Kun's face was extremely solemn.
Wu Nian thought about it for a while and analyzed the pros and cons. He raised his head and said to Li Kun: "Thank you for your care, brother. But a group of pigeons is not as good as an eagle. Now the Mongolian people may go south at any time, and the Beishan Fort is actually in danger. A Zhang Jin is more useful than a group of soldiers. I will go to Phoenix Mountain to Come on. Please get him out."
Li Kun nodded and said, "Just think about it." Then he asked casually, "When will you leave?"
"After I take my concubine, I will go find Zhang Jin." Wu Nian replied with a smile.
His mind was filled with Chen's body and three words, which really made him hungry.
"Ah?!!!" Li Kun couldn't hold himself any longer and screamed in surprise.
"You haven't married a wife yet, so you want to take a concubine first?"
