"You are right, then let him come and go to relieve the anger." Liu Youwang patted his belly and pretended to be generous and said, "I have chosen a new little girl in the troupe. She is really cute. I have it." It’s a lot, just let him enjoy it first.”
"What's the use of just having a woman," Jiang Yougong complained, "He has slept with many women in recent months."
"What else can I do?"
"You have to give him some benefits..." Jiang Yougong said.
Zhu Si has actually hinted to him many times recently that he knows about the Sanhezui incident and wants him to get some benefits out of it. Jiang Yougong had to be filial and filial no matter how reluctant he was.
"Okay," Liu hoped to be reluctant, but also knew that there was nothing he could do about it, so he said angrily, "How much money do you think we can get?"
"At least get fifty taels."
"One hundred taels, Captain Zhu's appetite is really big." Liu Wangwang secretly felt distressed, "It's not that I'm unwilling to give it, but right now we are short of money..."
In the past few months, wealth has been pouring in, but the two brothers have been troubled. All supplies obtained in the camp were food, salt, and cloth. The portions were large and inconvenient to carry. It must be turned into gold and silver. Jiang Yougong and Liu Hope are both outsiders. They don't have this option. To be honest, they don't have the courage to leave it to the "corrupt elements" in the camp to cash out their money.
"...You also know that these things are piled up in the warehouse now, and there are only a few dozen taels of silver. If you ask for a hundred taels, it's not enough to give him all. You can't give him a few dozen kilo of rice, right?"
Jiang Yougong thought to himself that this was indeed a problem. He thought for a moment and said, "Do you have anyone you can use?"
"Where can I find anyone? There are some retained government officials, but I don't dare to provoke them."
"What about Chang Qingyun? I think he is a very capable person..."
"Old Chang," Liu Youwang scratched his scalp, "Speaking of it, he is still a civil servant, but he is also an outsider and not from the local area. I'm afraid he doesn't have much hope."
"It's hard to say. This Chang Qingyun often goes to Wuzhou for business, maybe there is a way out. And he is either retained or a prisoner. It is safest to go through him - if there is any problem, just go directly..." Jiang Yougong made a cut head movements.
"Okay, I'll just ask him!"
"We have to hurry up on this matter," Jiang Yougong said. "When the grain fleet arrives, he won't have time. Who knows what trouble this kid is going to make!"
"No way, he and you were both servants of the imperial court..."
"What about Paoze? It's easier to stab him in the back." Jiang Yougong said angrily, probably because he was fed up with "Paoze" back then.
Liu expected to ask someone to call Chang Qingyun.
Chang Qingyun was watching from behind as several actors taught the selected girls how to act and sing. Most of these girls come from good families, and some are from official families. Now being forced to come out to learn opera and to serve others with sex, it's all full of reluctance. However, Liu Hope is the King of Heaven in this camp. If he refuses to agree, he will either seek death or be tortured to death. In short, it will be a dead end. Therefore, most of them can only succumb to lustful power.
Most of the people who teach opera are members of the family teams raised by officials in the past, and there are also members of the Jianghu team. They were also trembling with fear. Liu Hope that this evil star is not easy to serve. Not to mention disobeying him, sometimes if a line of an opera is not to his liking, he will be beaten up for no apparent reason.
Only this Chang Qingyun was at ease with Liu Hope. As a result, everyone in the camp cursed him behind his back for "destined to die a good death" and came up with the idea of starting a theater troupe.
But on the surface, he is now the most popular person around Liu Hope. Even those who were retained in the past had to bend their backs and call him: "Mr. Chang" when they saw him.
Chang Qingyun seemed to be sitting around, listening to the show and enjoying it, but in fact, he was making nervous calculations inside. After some manipulation by himself, public dissatisfaction is already boiling in the camp. As long as someone is willing to step forward and raise his voice, it will definitely cause an uproar. Coupled with the attack by the troops outside, the Sanhezui will definitely be in chaos.
It's just that he is not yet sure how to eliminate the leader of the third squadron in one fell swoop.
Although a plan was made to poison the food, Chang Qingyun himself knew that poisoning was not difficult. It was rare to defeat these people at the critical moment. If the poison spread early, Jie Kun could send someone else to replace him. Not to mention the need to investigate the cause; if we had waited until that day to take action, the Australians would have ordered the entire army to be under martial law before and after the food was shipped, and there was no way to call them all to the camp in the name of watching a show.
While he was thinking wildly, someone suddenly came to call him and said that Liu Guanying had asked him to go.
Naturally, he didn't dare to neglect Liu Hope when he asked him to come over, and immediately arrived in the yard where he lived.
Liu hoped to chat with him for a few words, and first asked about preparing a small kitchen.
This matter was originally brought up by Chang Qingyun. When he asked about it, he quickly replied: "I have already found the cooks. Some are official chefs in the Governor's Yamen and the Chief Secretary's Yamen; some are famous chefs in local restaurants in Wuzhou. Good craftsmanship. Just..."
"Just what?"
"It goes without saying that some of these cooks are in our camp. It's just a matter of a word! But there are two of them in Wuzhou..."
"so what?"
"For those in the camp, it's their fate to be able to work for the master, and they are too happy to do so. But if you want to hire someone from the city, you have to be like hiring someone, you have to pay wages, and there has to be a sign for entry and exit."
"Whatever I think is a difficult task, I just hire them. There are only one or two hundred people left in this camp, so a few more of them won't be a big deal. As for wages, just pay them according to the market conditions outside!"
"Yes, yes, there are still cards to get in and out of."
"These are all easy. Once you find someone, just tell me how much it costs," Liu Wangwang said, "But if you find these people, their skills must be passable, and they should not be on the same level as the cooking team in the army. "As he said that, he mentioned the matter of material realization.
"...Do you have anyone who can handle this?"
Chang Qingyun was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that Liu Youzhi would actually leave this matter to him! But after a second thought, I realized that Wuzhou was a place where people were unfamiliar and there was no place to look for anyone. He is a prisoner again, so he can handle it completely.
"There are people." Chang Qingyun said carefully, "It's just that he is also cautious..."
"Okay, okay, don't bother me. I don't care which turtle bastard you find, as long as you can help me convert all these things into silver - gold is fine, no copper coins are required." Liu Youlan was impatient. said.
"Yes, yes, this student will definitely try his best." Chang Qingyun immediately made a respectful look, "I just don't know how many things there are and how much money they will cost?"
"Everything is in the warehouse at the back. I will naturally take you to see it when the time comes. There are about three hundred stones of brown rice, as well as salt and cloth. You can find a suitable place to help me dispose of them," he said, his eyes widening. A pair of bull's eyes showed a fierce light, "I know the price of these things in the market, don't try to trick me!"
"Students don't dare!" Chang Qingyun put on a frightened face, "Students have to rely on adults in these three places, how dare they do such a self-destructive thing."
"Hahaha, it's good that you know!" Liu Wangwang laughed loudly. He felt very proud when he thought that a civil servant was so respectful and docile to him. He was even happier than the girl he had slept with a certain county magistrate's house last night - after all, that girl had always been Crying and crying is not as sensible as this master.
"Old Chang, you are indeed a wonderful person." Liu Youwang patted him on the shoulder, "If you do this errand for me well, your benefits are indispensable! Do you have any request? If you want a woman, I will reward you with one! It’s too lonely for you to sleep alone, so you probably can’t bear it, right? I don’t think you’re old at all, don’t say you’re already dying..."
Chang Qingyun really couldn't bear his "warmth", but he didn't dare to disobey him of course, so he had to smile dryly and said: "The master's kindness is appreciated by the students. But now that the students want to help the master, some things should not be too public, lest they Provoking jealousy..."
"Well, you're right." Liu hoped to sit down with excitement, "I won't give you the access badges, you already have them anyway. These days, you often go out to run around for me, and get them as soon as possible. This matter has been solved for me!"
"Student, please obey," Chang Qingyun had an idea, remembered something, and said, "Student, I still have something to ask for."
"You tell me."
"Please let me give you another badge - if you find someone, they also want to see the goods. You can't just come and get money based on a student's empty words..."
"It's easy. Just go to the copywriting and say what I said: I'll give you another badge."
Chang Qingyun thanked him and was about to leave when Liu Hope stopped him again:
"How about the purchase of costumes for the costumes you mentioned last time? You can't sing like this a cappella all the time, right?"
The costumes, headsets, and even musical instruments required by the troupe are naturally not available in the camp. Musical instruments are okay, I can always find a small group of unvoiced ones in Wuzhou city, and the flutes, harps, gongs and drums can generally handle everything. The only thing that's hard to find is the costumes and costumes for this opera - only the theater troupe provides them.
Originally, there was always a magic troupe performing in large docks like Wuzhou, and there were also several troupes in government offices and wealthy families' homes. However, a war broke out and all these troupes dispersed. The guys were even more scattered. Chang Qingyun made several trips, but could not find a complete set of theater boxes. He only found some scattered costumes, masks, and musical instruments, but no complete set of gadgets.
Without these troupes, it would be impossible to perform low-cost plays, and they could only sing a cappella. At best, they could only perform a few excerpts. Liu expected to have sex with a lot of women, so naturally he also hoped to watch some serious dramas to relieve his boredom, and at the same time look good in front of other people.
"Let the students look for this. Look!" Chang Qingyun said hurriedly.
"Then we have to do it as soon as possible."
"Yes, yes, students don't have to." Chang Qingyun said perfunctorily, but in his heart he wanted to contact Yi Haoran about this matter as soon as possible!
