The Fourth Financial Crisis

Five days later, Han Fulai led the Haiya fleet back to Haiya City like a hero.

If you don't take into account Lin Dong's accidental death, this expedition of the Haiya City Fleet can be called an epic victory.

The Haiya Fleet only took more than a month, which meant that the Wuliang Sword Sect defeated the Shenhuo Sect's plot to invade the outlying islands, and the Shenhuo Sect's power on the outlying islands was also uprooted. On the other hand, among the mercenaries recruited locally in Haiya City, only a few hundred people were killed after the war. Even if minor injuries were included, the total casualties were less than 2,000.

What is even more incredible is that the Haiya Fleet not only defeated the Guhong Island army, but also withstood the pressure of the outlying island lords and captured a large number of Guhong Island natives. Among the indentured slaves transported back to Haiya City alone were There are as many as three to four thousand people.

The number of Guhong Island soldiers captured by the Haiya Fleet was actually far more than this number. Even excluding the prisoners handed over to the coalition forces on the outlying islands, there were eight thousand prisoners shipped by the Haiya Chamber of Commerce alone. However, after most of the prisoners heard that they would be sold to Zhongzhou to become indentured servants, they would rather die than sign a contract of sale.

According to Han Fulai's idea, as long as he was given enough time to train slowly, it would not be difficult to convert more than 80% of the prisoners into indentured slaves. However, due to the urgent urging of the outlying island coalition forces and the problem of supplying the Sea Cliff Fleet itself, Han Fulai was forced to take the most violent coercive measures and force the prisoners to sign a selling contract immediately. Otherwise, when the fleet sailed out of the outlying island area, these prisoners would be Will be protected by the Heavenly Way of Kyushu again.

As for those die-hards on Guhong Island who still refused to sign the contract of sale until the Haiya Fleet left the coverage area of ​​the Wanli Yanbo Formation, the black-hearted cultivation capitalist Han Fulai did not bother to be polite to them, just like the European pirates in the Age of Discovery. , tied their hands behind their backs, and kicked them from the boat into the vast sea.

But even if the remaining three to four thousand indentured slaves were distributed throughout the Central Plains, their value would be no less than six to seven million spirit stone coins. If we include the millions of spirit stone coins previously embezzled from the Wuliang Sword Sect, the net profit earned by the Haiya Fleet from this expedition has steadily exceeded 10 million spirit stones, which is equivalent to what every cultivator of the Haiya Sect can earn. Thousands of dollars were distributed, not counting the corruption gains of leaders at all levels of the Haiya Clan during this expedition.

Such an epic victory not only made Han Fulai famous, but also the reputation of Han Xinhe, the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall. Everyone from the immortal master to ordinary mortals in Haiya City couldn't help but give a thumbs up when they mentioned Han Fulai's uncle and nephew:

Manager Han is a capable person in our Haiya department!

If the Han family in Haiya City has already won the victory, then Yang Lu can also be considered as the winner with hand cramps.

As the faction in the Haiya Chamber of Commerce that supports the Qingning Chamber of Commerce the most, the increase in the reputation of the Han family is a great benefit to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce itself. Yang Lu and Han Fulai's series of spoils sharing and shady operations on the outlying islands further strengthened the relationship between the two parties. cooperate.

In addition, Yang Lu also made a lot of money during his trip to the island.

After recovering Ji Sihan's stolen money, he got more than 500,000 spiritual stone coins in cash; he killed Li Qingning's biggest creditor, Lin Dong, and exempted Li Qingning's debt of 300,000 spiritual stone coins; he took Han Fulai's hush money and had sex for free. At the end of the war, Yang Lu and Han Fulai raided Shi Yi, the owner of Guhong Island, and plundered 600,000 spiritual stone coins from the private treasury of this outlying island warlord. The two of them split the cash 50-50 privately.

900,000 spirit stone coins in cash + 300,000 spirit stone coins in debt relief. This is all Yang Lu gained from his trip to the island.

Some people win and some lose.

Although Tian Beixi suffered a disastrous defeat, but seriously calculating, apart from being a little disgraced, he did not lose.

She came to the outlying island alone to lay out the plan, and then left in despair alone. She spent more than half a year in vain, and even lost the Shenhuo Sect's only ally on the outlying island, Shi Yi.

However, in the past six months, she has continuously eliminated seven or eight outlying island lords and confiscated the homes of countless mortal fugitives from all over Kyushu. When she fled the outlying island, she took at least several million spirit stone coins and cash with her. Not only did she not lose any money, she even lost money. I've made a lot of money, but I can't save my face.

The real losers were actually the mortal lords of the outlying islands and the leader of the Wuliang Sword Sect, Lin Jianxing.

The poor outlying island lords were first purged by the forces of Fire Cloud State, and then in order to drive away tigers and devour wolves, they signed treaties with Wuliang Sword Sect and Yufeng Sect that were humiliating and humiliating the country. Unexpectedly, after Yang Lu and Han Fu came over, they would not Talking about martial ethics, they were ripped off, and the house of Shi Yi, the lord of Guhong Island, was ransacked. It can be said that his vitality was severely damaged.

Needless to say, Lin Jianxing, the death of Lin Dong, the talented star of his faction, was definitely a major blow.

He wanted to accuse the Haiya Department of being incompetent, but the Haiya Department insisted that it was Lin Dong who ran out to die on his own. No one could stop him. More than 10,000 people on the Haiya Fleet saw it with their own eyes. There was absolutely no falsehood. Even Even the meeting minutes recorded by Lin Dong's servant clearly stated that Lin Dong took the initiative to ask Ying to challenge Tian Beixi.

What's more important is that at the end of this meeting minutes, there is Lin Dong's own magic mark signature!

Even though Lin Dong was killed, the Haiya Fleet miraculously made a comeback against the wind and defeated Tian Beixi, a cultivator of the Shenhuo Sect who mastered the magic. Strictly speaking, not only was there no fault, but it also saved the face of the Wuliang Sword Sect.

The Haiya Fleet could not find fault, and the other Nascent Soul stage executives of the Wuliang Sword Sect were holding back their thoughts to see Lin Jianxing's jokes. Even if Lin Jianxing wanted to find a way to vent his anger, he had no way to vent his anger and almost suffered internal injuries. In the end, he could only secretly scold Lin Dong for being a idiot. He was a master of the Six Paths Sword and could not defeat the monks of the same level as the Shenhuo Sect. He even risked his own life.

This is simply a shame to the Wuliang Sword Sect and the Lin family of Zhongzhou!

Just as the Haiya fleet was docking, Miss Li was already waiting for him at the Haiya City port. However, in order not to cause too much commotion, Li Qingning used the illusion of disguise on herself, and her appearance looked much more ordinary.

Although Yang Lu had already conveyed the news to her about returning home with a full load, Li Qingning's eyes still turned into crescent moons when she saw Yang Lu himself.

Yang Lu also missed his arrogant eldest daughter. Just when he was about to say something, he saw a familiar figure beside her. He immediately frowned and said, "He Mingyuan, why are you here?"

Originally, He Mingyuan planned to take the opportunity to flatter Yang Lu, but when he saw the obscene figure following Yang Lu, his face suddenly turned ugly: "Are you... Ji Sihan?"

As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet each other, so Ji Sihan smiled and said: "Manager He, you are really good at it!"

"Good guy, this corrupt person actually dares to appear in front of the eldest lady, come on -"

"Steward He, don't be nervous!" Yang Lu immediately raised his hand to stop He Mingyuan, then turned to Li Qingning and said, "Miss, this is the new steward of Xuantie Mine, Ji Sihan, whom I have found for you!"

Li Qingning had already heard Yang Lu talk about Ji Sihan.

However, after seeing this guy with a deer head and rat eyes, she couldn't help but wonder: "This guy looks so vulgar, is he reliable?"

Seeing that his eldest daughter was judging people by their appearance, Yang Lu couldn't laugh or cry and said, "He Mingyuan looks upright, but look at what this guy did..."

Li Qingning tilted her head and thought for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "You're right!"

Hearing that Yang Lu planned to take Ji Sihan for his own use, He Mingyuan's face turned a little green, and he didn't even notice that Yang Lu was arranging him again. However, Yang Lu didn't care what these two tool men thought, and said with a smile: "I know you may have been unhappy in the past, but since you are all ready to serve the eldest lady wholeheartedly, you must supervise and promote each other more in the future!"

Hearing Yang Lu forcefully describe "tortured my parents" as a "little unpleasantness", it was Ji Sihan's turn to lose control.

However, seeing Yang Lu's unquestionable expression, he still forced a smile and said, "What Consultant Yang said is that I will 'supervise and supervise' the famous Manager He in the future."

He Mingyuan also said with a twitching expression: "That's right, if we don't 'supervise and discipline' properly, how can we all make progress together!"
