Chapter 1062: Fat Catfish's Fins, Get Rich

Chapter 1062: Fat Catfish's Fins, Get Rich (Two in One)

Gululu.

Bubbles float up quietly.

"Brother Hei, brother Hei! Are you serious? Can we also go to Qianshao Canyon and be the fish in the palace and eat the rations of the Great Huai Army?"

"A good thing, a great thing!"

"'If you become rich and powerful, don't forget your friends'? Is this an ancient saying of the human race? It's so philosophical! Wow, when the Thorny Fish agreed to let the Black Fish join the Thorny Fish tribe, it was me who personally gave the fish to the Black Fish. At that time, I even complained that the Black Fish ate too much. I'm really not a fish! Damn it!"

"Clap clap clap!"

When the words reached a deep point and the emotions reached a strong point, the speaking fish swung its fins and slapped its own big mouth hard, with so much force that a blood mark was left.

After the Jianghuai New Year Festival, the promotion banquet was held, people ate and drank everywhere, and attended banquets everywhere. The fat catfish had become fatter, with a big white belly, and looked very blessed. It could hardly bend down, and swayed like a water ball.

It let out a long breath, straightened its chest and tightened its abdomen, and finally bent down successfully to stop the fish, grabbed its fin, and lifted the fish up.

Look around.

The porcupines in front of him all looked moved and touched.

The fat catfish struck while the iron was hot, waving its long whiskers in an enthusiastic manner.

Be determined not to make friends with ungrateful fish, and be determined to repay the fish that have been kind to you!
If you know the kindness but don't repay it, you are unworthy of being a fish in the river!

The little fish only expects the fish to do him a favor, but forgets it as soon as it is too good. A gentleman does not take the fish's favor lightly, but must repay it if he does.
You and I live in the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers, and we are all brothers. We should support each other. In the past, the giant spiny fish saved it, took it in, gave it a home, and provided it with three meals a day with plenty of meat. All the grudges of the past should just go with the flow!

but……

The fat catfish suddenly changed the subject, making the other fishes nervous.

I have just become the person in charge of the outpost. I must not be too reckless and stuff fish into the outpost randomly, which will spoil the impression of the Dragon King. Everyone should go to the outpost canyon to work and mine. Whether they can stay depends on the luck of the fish. Only by working hard can they be converted to regular employees and eat the rations of the Huai Army. The internship lasts for three... and a half... one year!
During the internship, there is no salary, and the only thing it can arrange is a dormitory and one meal ration.

The fish nodded repeatedly.

"As it should be!"

"That's it! One year! Not long!"

"Heidayu is eloquent and worthy of being called the Immortal Poet of Jianghuai! He is truly talented and virtuous! He is full of affection and righteousness!"

"The Black Fish has been promoted to this position because of the grace of the Dragon King. We must not betray the Dragon King by supporting our brothers. This is putting the cart before the horse and the loss outweighs the gain!"

"Don't worry, Black Fish. If I can stay, it's all because of your kindness that I can't repay. If I can't stay, it's because I'm incompetent! You're just a useless fish!"

it is good!
Without further ado, let it get to work!
After counting the fish heads and confirming that they were correct, the fat catfish raised his arm and the best players in the porcupine tribe swam out, lined up in a row, and went to the Outpost Canyon to mine and work.

Inside the tribe's territory, Thorny was extremely relieved when he saw the tribe's fish disappear from his sight.

In the past, I only gave them a few full meals, and the precious fish were very few. As for gratitude, there was some, but not much. Since the fat catfish joined the Da Huai Army, he was promoted step by step and showed his unique talent for poetry. I thought we would never have contact again, but I never expected that the fish would repay the kindness.

After a year, half of them will be converted to regular employees and have food rations, and half of the fish tax that they pay to the Dragon King every year will be returned, right?
In addition, there are fat catfish taking care of it, and the dogfish next door...

snort!
Thorn turned and left, thinking about how to teach the dogfish a lesson.

A black whirlwind appeared in the porcupine tribe, and the offense and defense changed!
Sentinel Canyon.

Ding-ding-ding-ding.

The sound of quarrying continued. Big fish wearing big hats and sharp spikes on their heads rushed forward and mined the jade-white fragments. The porpoises were cautious and envious.

Compared to the tribes that have to guard a few precious lands, rely on the weather for food, and pay fish taxes to the Dragon King and the Northern Fish King, becoming the Da Huai Army and having a stable ration of precious fish is definitely more than ten times stronger!
The fat catfish found an isolated cave and knocked on the rock wall to transmit vibrations.

Not long.

"Hey, big black whirlwind fish, what current brought you here?" The big snake swam out of the cave, revealing only its head. It glanced at the porpoise not far away and understood what he meant. "Is this the fish you recommended?"

The Dragon King appointed Fat Catfish as the fish in charge of the outpost canyon, in charge of most matters. However, the registration and distribution of money and grain were still under the control of the snake clan, and not the Fat Catfish alone.

The Dragon King cherishes his body when doing great things, and forgets his life when seeing small gains.

To be in charge of such a vast Jianghuai lake, to become a true dragon in the future, he must extend his claws to the west and own all five lakes. It is far from enough to rely solely on the snake clan and fish fins to govern.

The establishment of the Da Huai Army was, on the one hand, for work, to find white apes, mine, collect fish taxes, and deter scoundrels; on the other hand, it was also to show the "big stomach" of the Dragon King. Regardless of whether they were from the Snake clan or not, the Dragon King treated them as his own children, and the capable ones were promoted and the mediocre ones were demoted.

The fat catfish was promoted quickly and held a high position of power, not only because he was "talented", "good at fighting and chanting", and handsome, but also because the dragon needed a "role model" to prove himself to the other water beasts in the Yangtze and Huaihe River regions.

Plan ahead.

The second sixty-year cycle is approaching.

Not only did the Dragon King become increasingly powerful, his behavior and actions also became more "magnanimous", and he implemented the Dragon King system.

The fat catfish knows all these things very well.

All of this was spoken by the gods.

God is its think tank!
The fat catfish hugged his belly, stretched his long whiskers, and pointed at his brothers who were waiting eagerly behind him.

The snake nodded and took out a leaf.

"I understand. Since you were introduced by Black Fish, you will definitely not be the lowest class. You will not be treated as a laborer. You can be registered as a second-class excellent pioneer warrior first. How about giving you a high-quality treasure fish and a high-quality treasure plant every month?"

The fat catfish said it was no problem and that he owed the big snake a favor for the fish.

The big snake was very pleased with it, and its tail rolled up the steel spike: "Big black fish, fish feelings are fish feelings, but the rules still need to be followed. Your name... Rotten wood, treacherous insect, eunuch insect, stinky fart pig... Hey, what a strange name..."

The big snake looked up, somewhat doubting whether these porcupines were really called these names.

The fat catfish sighed.

For example, the porcupine is uneducated and has a random name.

The big snake was too lazy to pay attention. After registering, he saw the fat catfish flicking its whiskers and secretly handing out six precious fish. A scarlet light flashed across the snake's face.

Blood lion!
OMG!

Top-grade treasure fish! Not small! At least equivalent to more than 40 top-grade treasure fish! No, for a blood lion to be useful against a big monster, it would need to be equivalent to 50!
Blood lions are usually only available in the hands of sea merchants. Many big monsters may not be able to buy many in a year. Precious fish have to be kept in captivity. How did this black guy get so many in such a short time?

"You get their salary? You pay it?" The big snake remained calm, his heart surging, and quietly accepted the treasure fish, "Okay!"

Get it!

The fat catfish rubbed its fins and went to find the porpoises to tell them the good news, and they immediately cheered.

The big snake smiled and said nothing more.

It guessed that perhaps the Black Whirlwind wanted to personally pay the porpoise a salary and show some favor to make the fish grateful.

To do good things, you must teach the fish.

Only when fish are given out every month will you know who brought you to work.

It does not matter. The porcupines are its own tribe anyway. It is OK as long as it does not extend its fin to the entire Huai Army. One could even speculate maliciously that the Black Whirlwind intends to deduct a little from them, such as a fish or a precious plant, and only give half to the porcupines!
There are eight thorny porpoises in total. If you cut half of them, you can harvest eight top-quality precious fish and six blood lions in a month, and you can make your investment back in six months!
By this calculation, I have received less benefits.

only……

"It is said that Black Whirlwind is a man of affection and justice, who repays kindness and rewards virtue, and is kind and fair to fish. I must be overthinking that he withheld half of the precious fish."

The big snake shook his head and shook off the bad thoughts.

The six blood lions, top-quality precious fish, were naturally obtained from the Frog King. Two assembly models were to be delivered at the end of the year and one in February, which was just enough to exchange for six top-quality precious fish. Liang Qu didn't want any of them, and let the fat catfish use them as bribes, arranging jobs for them that "cannot be moved" so that they could eat empty salaries and get a big return with a small investment.

The fat catfish gave them a few simple words of encouragement. The porcupines were full of energy, rubbing their hands, and were extremely excited. The fat catfish personally led them to get their work clothes and cone helmets, giving one to each fish.

Fearing that he would disappoint the fat catfish, the porcupine put on a helmet and went to the construction site to dig hard.

Register on the same day and start work on the same day!
The fat catfish did not dissuade, but took a look around and swam hurriedly out of the canyon.

It's very busy.

The New Year had just passed, and it happened to be the auspicious day for its promotion to a great demon and a promotion. It was treated to fish every day, and at the end it was given a precious fish to take back.

A few days ago, the King of Northern Fish invited it to a banquet and asked it to write a poem. He informed the gods yesterday, but he didn't know if the poem was ready.

Hey.

Eating is so tiring.

I don’t know how much essence I have accumulated, but the fat catfish touched his belly and felt three points stronger.

The porpoise who was working seriously looked up inadvertently and saw the fat catfish disappear without a trace after a few flicks of its tail. He was impressed by its strong strength and felt admiration for it.

He is in such a hurry, he must be doing something important.

Sure enough, practicing is not that easy, there must be hard work behind it that is unknown to everyone!
They have to find time to care for their own kind despite their busy schedules. They must work hard to repay the kindness of the big black fish, become regular fish as soon as possible, and not let other fish look down on them!
Ding-ding-ding-ding.

Debris flew.

imperial capital.

Inside the Ze Ding.

Two reds and two yellows, red energy and dark yellow, totaling four strands of long energy of heaven and earth!
There are less than ten days left until the Lantern Festival. Tomorrow there will be a military selection and a performance to present prisoners. Time is tight. Liang Qu was just wondering whether he would have enough time for promotion when he received the news from Fat Catfish.

The issue of the empty salary has been resolved, and a good poem is urgently needed.

"It's a hard life." Liang Qu patted his butt, stood up, and turned to go to Tianbo Chamber of Commerce.

Buying poetry, especially buying it outright, costs a lot of money.

All his property, more than one hundred thousand taels of silver, was deposited in Tianbo Chamber of Commerce. He consigned Yuequan water and repurchased Yuequan water, just to see how much money could be made in half a year.

Step into Tianbo Tower.

a long time.

"How much?"

"The total security account is 1,863,050 taels of silver, of which 365,600 is currently calculated to be your personal net profit after deducting my commission and various costs." Lu Jia moved the beads on the abacus with a smile on his face.

"Why so much?" Liang Qu was shocked. "What do you mean by pure profit? Don't you have to worry about others exchanging it for Yuequan water?"

Weird, 170,000 turned into 360,000.

Doubled in half a year!
The profit margin is two hundred percent!

Lu Jia grinned and said smugly: "Then there's really no need to worry, our profit is the loss!"

"loss?"

Lu Jia stood up, opened the bookshelf, took out a silver bottle with a flying dancer engraved on it, and gently placed it in front of Liang Qu: “Brother Liang, this Feitian Moon Spring Water is really powerful. Sell it for 3,200 yuan, and buy it back for more than 3,200 yuan. It is much more valuable than burying it in the cellar at home.

With the guarantee, Brother Liang will have a large amount of liquid silver in his hands in a short period of time, and he can do anything with it. But after all, duckweed has no roots and the moon has no shadow. What if suddenly everyone stops collecting and comes to exchange for Moon Spring Water?"

"That's impossible." Liang Qu shook his head. "There must be bad debts or even fake debts. They used fake Moon Spring water to exchange for it. Tianbo Tower has many capable people, but they may not be able to make mistakes this time."

It is indeed circulating in the outside market, but the premium for this thing is too high.

Liang Qu had paid attention to it. Only if he caused something big, the circulation price outside would be higher than the figure of 3250, rising to or even , which would attract a wave of scramble. However, the vast majority of people were still eyeing the extra profit of taels.

Financial attributes rely on one person, which is ultimately somewhat fragile.

of course.

You can declare the recycling invalid, but that is a one-time transaction and is too offensive.

"Wait, you figured out a way to increase the loss?"

"It really is time-saving and labor-saving to talk to smart people!" Lu Jia beamed with joy, pointing to a line of small numbers below the silver bottle dancer, which was not there before, "I have remixed the moon spring water to make it less likely to deteriorate, and within 20 years, the effect will remain unchanged as much as possible, and the fragrance will become more mellow as time goes by.

On this basis, an additional date will be set for the Moon Spring Water. For every additional year on that date, the price will be increased by thirty taels for the repurchase!"

"hiss."

Liang Qu took a deep breath and gave a thumbs up.

He actually had this idea a long time ago.

Unfortunately, Yuequan water is different from wine, its shelf life is not that exaggerated, and people outside are not that easy to deceive.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jia made up for it himself and improved the formula.

“The formula isn’t cheap, is it?”

"Indeed, I asked my father to find three alchemy masters and spent nearly three months researching. Don't worry, the cost is mine. After all, it was my own decision."

Lu Jia said proudly, "In short, after the price has been raised every year, the number of people who come to exchange has dropped sharply. I asked someone to calculate it, and the 'loss' is twenty times greater than before! It's all safe money! So, if Brother Liang needs the 360,000 taels, just take it."

Hidden for ten years, more than ten years.

Not to mention the loss caused by breaking.

There are so many things that can't be hidden in the process, such as gifts, curious daughters, and playful pets...

The "danger" of Yuequan water has greatly increased. Once it is used up or opened, it cannot be replaced and becomes a "dead account"!
The current account playing method becomes the fixed account playing method, and the "passbook" is easy to lose!

"Brother Lu is so talented!"

"Then we will settle every six months from now on? The cost of collecting and transporting the Moon Spring Water will still be borne by our Tianbo Chamber of Commerce."

"it is good!"

The dragon gives birth to the dragon and the phoenix gives birth to the phoenix.

Lu Jia is worthy of being the son of Director Lu.

Liang Qu went out with a bulging bag of silver bills in his pocket, walking briskly and in a good mood.

Get rich!

At the Zhenxiang level, the purchasing power of silver has weakened, but it is still there. At the auctions held at Tianbo Tower in important capitals, one can often buy great medicines, and the prices of many top items exceed one million!

"When good things happen, people feel refreshed~
Buy a poem for Ah Fei! "

Ten days passed in a flash.

Lantern Festival.

The sky is bright.

Armored soldiers lined up on both sides of the long street, holding long spears, forming a guardrail to prevent civilians from mistakenly entering.

The lantern festival should have become lively at night, but now it is crowded and noisy.
