Vol 2 Chapter 648: The Diao family makes money

Yu Kai's spirit was refreshed and he quickly asked, "What is the reason, tell me."
Diao Kui smiled, "Hey," and lowered his voice: "Because there is a good way to make money now, this time, I found the King Kuaiji through Prince Gongzi, and specifically approved it."
Yu Yue's brow furrowed: "What is the way to make money? Will the Kuaiji King approve it? Their royal family will not want to find ways to accumulate money like our families."
Diao Hong laughed badly: "No one in this world does not like money, and the emperor and the prince are the same. Especially in all parts of Dajin now, most of them are controlled by family gates, tax cuts, and the treasury is empty. If you want to set up your own in the future The army, money is indispensable. In my humble opinion, King Kuaiji accepted us, and he also took a fancy to the profit-making skills of our Diao family ancestors. "
Yu Kai's eyes flashed coldly: "Okay, don't sell guanzi anymore. If you have the right conditions, our family can also get together, and everyone can make money together."
Diao Kui nodded and whispered: "What are the children of the family like to play in this city?"
Yu Kai froze for a moment, then turned to say: "Naturally it is Qing talking about mystery."
Diao Kui waved his hand: "That's for the sake of asking for a name, it doesn't necessarily like it too much. Sensual dogs and horses are human nature, brother, we are all in this way, so we don't need to talk about these scenes."
Yu Kai smiled: "It's fun to say, naturally one is a woman, and the other is gambling. Well, playing with women is mostly self-willed after taking Wu Shi San. As for gambling, it's a sweet potato and a cockfight. , Dog fighting, horse racing mostly. "
Diao Kui smiled and said, "That's it. It's almost the same everywhere. Cockfighting and dogfighting can arouse the kind of fighting and killing excitement in human nature, so it is the most played thing, especially small and medium. The family is even more carefree. There are several cockfighting and dog fighting fields in Zijin Mountain in the east of the city. It has always been very hot, right. "
Yu Yue smiled and said: "It seems that although Brother Diao is in Guangzhou, he has long studied the style of Jiankang City. Yes, that's true. Is it true that Brother Diao is also interested in this cockfighting field?"
Diao Kui shook his head, a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes: "Cockfighting and dogfighting, how can there be excitement that makes people fight, is it fun to come?"
Yu Kai and Yu Yue's complexions changed at the same time: "Fight against each other? Is this okay? The laws of Dajin prohibit the murder and murder, even slaves, you can't just kill yourself."
Diao Kui smiled slightly: "The decree is the decree, but it is another matter to do it, just like the gate valve Shi Chong of the Western dynasty, when the banquets of Wang Dao and Wang Dun were given to the family, let the concubines persuade the guests to drink. Whenever a guest did n’t drink, he beheaded on the spot, Wang Dao forced to drink alcohol because he could n’t bear to see the concubine send his life, but Wang Dun was sitting on the sidelines of several concubines killed without changing his face. Character. But on the other hand, does this also confirm that this decree not to kill slaves is nothing for the Gaomen clan? "
A trace of intolerance flashed on Yu Kai's face: "But Shi Chong, after all, has a high status and is also a relative of the emperor. He can escape the sanctions of the law, but he also has a bad reputation in the family. When the eight kings chaos behind him, he If you are involved, you will be beheaded. This kind of thing is afraid that even if you can do it for a while, you will not be able to do it for a lifetime. "
Diao Kui shook his head: "There is a king of Kuaiji who is in the back for fear of anything. Besides, in order to avoid this commotion, we are not doing this in Jiankang City. Those Qin army prisoners were people, let them be When we perform this kind of fighting and earn money for ourselves, do n’t we kill two birds with one stone? "
Yu Yue ticked her mouth: "This is a good idea. Choose where to open this fighting field. Also, if you are not doing this in Jiankang City, how can you let the children of the family go to bet? You should still be Casino. "
Diao Kui smiled slightly: "We have already picked the place and placed it in the north, where Pengcheng built a large drill field called the Ximatai, which specifically let these fighting slaves fight and let the audience bet to buy and lose. The broken and wounded were sold at a low price to the manor farms in Jiangnan. Those killed were said to be injured by robbers. Pengcheng, near the border, often had small Qin army troops to fight the grass valley, and killed a few people. It's really not a matter. "
Yu Kai's eyebrows stretched a lot, and nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, you think it's really thoughtful. However, to set up such a fighting field, in case you know it from other families, impeach us by writing, that How to do?"
Diao Kui smiled and said: "It's okay, I already thought about this. Last time, Xie's family recruited more than a thousand Xianbei people as sparring, saying that it taught us to deal with the northern cavalry? This time we can also buy one. Thousands of slaves said that they were used to train the garrison to practice the method of breaking the enemy. Is n’t the Xie family exercise also a dead person? He can die, why ca n’t we die? There is King Kuaiji behind him, nobody dare to say What."
Yu Yue smiled: "This trick is really quite clever. If this is done, how will the money be divided?"
Diao Hong said excitedly: "A slave only costs four thousand dollars ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Even if three people are killed in one day, it will only cost more than ten thousand dollars, but the betting income of this Jiankang Cockfighting Stadium is more than ten a day. Thousands of dollars, if you are fighting, I am afraid that you can make 300,000 yuan a day. Then the money you earn will be divided into 20% for the King Kuaiji, 10% for the king, and the other money is our own. "
Yu Kai smiled slightly: "No wonder Brother Diao is willing to stay here, but I still have a problem. The number of slaves we can have is based on the title of knight and official position. You can't buy it casually. You may buy two or three hundred people. But how can it be possible to buy thousands of people? "
Diao Kui smiled and pulled out a roll of silk from his sleeve, and handed it to Yu Kai: "Look at the history of Da Yu, please, this is the sacred order that King Kuaiji specially invited for me. I am now Guangzhou Shi, Guangzhou. There are many bureaucrats and barbarians, often chaotic, and the court's strength is insufficient, so this time I specially asked to buy five thousand people from the Qin army prisoners, as a part of the game, in Guangzhou to conquer those barbarians who did not obey the court's order. You see, Your Majesty has already made it. "
Taking advantage of Yu Kai's words, Yu Yue questioned, "Five thousand people? Good guys, the garrison in Guangzhou is not necessarily tens of thousands. You can buy five thousand people at once. This king really helped." Busy. It's just that these 5,000 people want you to bring them back to Guangzhou. The court allowed you to compile an army, and some people will also check them in Guangzhou. How can you get them north to Pengcheng? "
