Although most Momen disciples regard money as garbage, it does not mean that Momen does not need silver.
Take the medicine pavilion in charge of the pharmacist uncle as an example. It requires refining incense, medicine, and body-tempering soup baths...anything costs a lot of money.
The key point is that most of the Momen disciples only care about being chivalrous and righteous. Even if some disciples rob the rich and give to the poor, they will not leave any money.
If Momen hadn't also taken on some assassinations, built tombs for others, treated diseases and other tasks, Momen would have been unable to maintain such a huge scale due to lack of money.
Therefore, Jiang Yifeng's words moved the pharmacist uncle.
only……
The pharmacist uncle looked at Jiang Yifeng with an embarrassed face, "I don't have four hundred thousand taels of silver."
"Right!"
Jiang Yifeng pinched his chin and nodded, "Although four hundred thousand taels of silver is not much for me, it is not small for you. If you had four hundred thousand taels of silver, you wouldn't kidnap me."
After hearing such reasonable words, the pharmacist uncle felt that Jiang Yifeng was quite good.
"How about this!"
Jiang Yifeng fumbled around for a long time and took out a banknote, "I can't let you come here in vain. This is a banknote of three hundred taels. You should take it for emergency first. When will you get enough 400,000 taels?" Yinzi, come and kidnap me again.”
"That's fine!"
Uncle Medicine Master thought this made sense, nodded and stepped forward.
However, when he took the banknote in his hand, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
I came here to kidnap him, why did I just take away a three hundred tael banknote in the end?
besides……
Why do you have to collect enough 400,000 taels of silver?
I am here to kidnap, not to invest.
"Good boy, I almost got fooled by you."
The pharmacist uncle looked at Jiang Yifeng fiercely, narrowed his eyes and said, "You just want to send me away with three hundred taels of silver. Are you looking down on me too much?"
Your great master has come out to kidnap you, and you still want me to look down on you?
Jiang Yifeng complained in his heart and said sincerely: "I'm all thinking about you, how could you think I lied to you? Don't my words make sense?"
"What you say makes sense."
The pharmacist uncle looked at Jiang Yifeng and said solemnly: "But now I only need 400,000 taels of silver."
"Look, the problem is back to where it started."
Jiang Yi had a helpless expression on his face, "I agreed to give you money, but I don't have that much money with me. You don't agree with the two methods I suggested, what can I do?"
The pharmacist uncle thought for a while and asked, "I have a good idea. Do you want to listen to it?"
"Tell me."
"My ransom for kidnapping you is 400,000 taels of silver. I will use this ransom to invest in you. You can give me 100,000 taels of silver every year for four years."
"Isn't this...not good?"
"What's wrong?"
Uncle Medicine Master asked back and smiled: "First of all, using this method, it only takes four years to collect the ransom, which is at least four years less than your thirty years and eight years."
"Secondly, I invested 400,000 taels of silver in you. You will need to give me 800,000 taels by then. Now you only need to give me 400,000 taels. You are equivalent to earning 400,000 taels."
Jiang Yifeng said hurriedly: "But you will suffer a loss!"
"fine!"
Uncle Medicine Master waved his hand, "I kidnapped you, and I already feel sorry for you. I let you earn 400,000 taels of silver, so I consider it as an apology to you."
After saying this, Uncle Medicine Master looked at Jiang Yifeng and continued: "Of course, if you feel you owe it, you can also give an extra tens of thousands of taels of silver, and I can still accept it."
Play right!
OK!
Let's see which one of us can cheat.
However……
Jiang Yifeng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "No problem, you come back in a year, and then I will hand you one hundred thousand taels of silver."
This time, the pharmacist uncle couldn't handle it anymore, "Are you really willing to give me one hundred thousand taels of silver in one year?"
"a man of his words!"
Jiang Yifeng said this, but added in his heart, I am not a gentleman anyway.
That's right!
Jiang Yifeng never thought about giving silver to his uncle.
In Jiang Yifeng's eyes, Uncle Yaoshi's seemingly perfect method meant that the kidnappers gave him a year to prepare.
In one year, he can form a musketry team and hire master-level warriors. As long as Uncle Medicine Master dares to come, he is guaranteed to never come back.
In comparison, the first two methods can really get money.
He is still very credible to his employees and investors.
"Something's wrong, something's very wrong with you."
Jiang Yifeng's abnormal behavior made Uncle Medicine Master suspicious, "Do you... have some ulterior conspiracy?"
Jiang Yifeng looked like I was wronged and said, "You came up with this method. I promised you. Why is there an ulterior conspiracy?"
Uncle Medicine Master frowned, "Based on what I know about you, it's impossible for you to agree so readily."
"Then I refuse to use your method?"
"No way."
"This won't work, that won't work either. What do you want?"
"There is a way."
The pharmacist uncle thought for a while and took out something from his arms, "I have a poisonous pill here, called the Seven Worms and Seven Flowers Heart-Breaking Pill. If there is no antidote, the intestines will be broken and rotten in a year. You..."
Only halfway through speaking, the pharmacist uncle saw Jiang Yifeng step forward, take the poison and put it into his mouth.
After Jiang Yifeng finished eating the poisonous pill, he opened his mouth, looked at the pharmacist, and asked, "I have already taken the poisonous pill, can you believe it now?"
"..."
The pharmacist uncle was stunned for a while and asked in a tone full of confusion: "This is a poison pill, aren't you afraid of poisoning yourself?"
Jiang Yifeng said sincerely: "Of course I'm afraid, so I prove that I didn't lie to you!"
Seven Insects and Seven Flowers Heart-Breaking Pill?
Are you fooling the devil?
As technologically advanced as I was in my previous life, I could only produce poison that delayed the treatment for half a month, and there was no antidote yet.
Dazhou is so backward. You told me that you can make poison that will delay the work for a year. If you really have this ability, what if I give you one hundred thousand taels of silver?
"..."
Uncle Pharmacist was overwhelmed by Jiang Yifeng's 'sincerity'.
For the first time, he discovered that his methods didn't seem to be of much use to Jiang Yifeng.
"never mind!"
Seeing that he couldn't deceive Jiang Yifeng, Uncle Yaoshi had no choice but to end the kidnapping, "I am the uncle of Zhao Toutou and Zhong Bugui. My real name is Yao Chen. They call me Uncle Yaoshi. I am not really kidnapping you this time, I just want to have fun with you." It’s a joke.”
After saying this, Uncle Medicine Master was ready to be scolded by Jiang Yifeng.
According to what Tou Tou Zhao said, Jiang Yifeng should scold me next: You Momen are mentally ill, and you came to kidnap me when you have nothing to do.
However……
Jiang Yifeng said excitedly: "Brother Yaochen, you and I hit it off right away. Let's become sworn friends!"
