Family practice: all members of the villain

Chapter 205 Inventory of the harvest
bang... bang... bang... bang... bang...

In the former Sword Master's Office, which is now the main hall of the Hou Mansion, Hou Yujie ordered ten Hou family warriors to place five heavy boxes on the ground, making five loud noises. The entire audience, including Hou Yuxiao, had more than 30 pairs of boxes. Eyes, all fixed on the box.

The five boxes are all of the same size. Each one is about three meters long and two meters wide. It is a bit big. In fact, the size is second. It takes two warriors to lift it. This is enough to show that the weight of this box is far beyond ordinary people's imagination. .

cough cough cough......

This strange atmosphere was silent for more than ten breaths. After hearing Hou Yuxiao's cough, everyone came back to their senses and hurriedly calmed down their unsatisfactory expressions.

Hou Yuxiao didn't laugh at everyone, because his own mood at the moment was similar to theirs, just because the senior executives of the Hou family gathered here today all knew what these five boxes represented.

After the Rakshasa Festival Demon Rebellion, the Daluo Sect, the Lingcheng Escort Agency, the Longyue Sect, and the Qijue Sect were all wiped out one after another. Then the Holy Cult army went out to Hexi together with the Wanyang County Tianding Sect and the four factions in the city. The third-rate forces of the family were also destroyed one after another after the city was broken. Finally, on the second day of September, at the meeting held in Jinfeng Xiaoyu Building three days ago, Hou Yuxiao personally killed the leaders of seven third-rate forces...

After destroying so many incoming forces, the Hou family has not even taken stock of it once. In the past three days, it has almost been settled in the three counties of Hexi. Hou Yuxiao summoned all the senior officials of the Hou family to come over at this moment, intending to have a large-scale Take stock and see how much Hou has gained from the night of Rakshasa Festival to now!
Just looking at the weight of the five boxes, he knew that the harvest was definitely not cheap. Hou Yuxiao suppressed the excitement in his heart slightly. After all, he was still the head of the family and he had to pay attention to his image in front of everyone.

"Fourth brother, let's talk about these five boxes, one by one."

"yes, Sir!"

Hou Yujie bowed forward, walked to the first box in person, and gently opened it with his hand. The moment the box was opened, the whole room was suddenly covered with a layer of golden light. Everyone's moods that had just calmed down, it seemed that When I saw the mountains of gold nuggets stacked up in the box, as well as the precious and inexplicable martial arts classics, my eyes immediately widened.

"This first box was sent by Third Sister from Tongling to search the properties of Daluo Sect and three other influential families. It took Third Sister a full 25 days to completely count all the properties of the four families. This box What’s inside is just the physical property plundered from the four powerful forces, and there’s also an account book attached, which records all the properties of the four mainstream powers. I’ll report it to my eldest brother first.”

After Hou Yujie finished speaking, he saw that everyone could not move their eyes away, and he couldn't help but smile. When he first saw so much gold, his reaction was similar to everyone else's, so he was not in a hurry and waited for everyone to calm down. After he calmed down, he took the account book at the top of the box and started reading.

"There is a total of 700 taels of silver in the Daluo Sect's warehouse, and there are also silver notes from Dajin Tongbao and Rakshasa Silver, each worth 300 million taels. In addition to the silver notes, this box of gold totals four thousand jins. That is 2000 taels of gold, converted into silver taels, which is 720 million..."

"700 million plus 600 million, plus 720 million, the total is 20 million taels. How can Daluo Sect have so much silver?"

Hou Yuduan was the first to calculate the total amount of silver deposited by Da Luo Zong. He was shocked, but he still raised questions. Da Luo Zong, a second-rate power in a county, had more than 3000 million taels of silver. In his opinion, this number was indeed A bit exaggerated...

Of course, it's not just Hou Yuduan. Many people present had slightly doubtful looks on their faces, especially Li Sanyun, Bai Yunfan, Nie Xinchuan, and Liu Jianghong. Before joining the Hou family, they were also the masters of the mainstream forces, so naturally they were even more clear.

No matter how powerful a third-rate force is, its sphere of influence is only one county at most, and its radiated population is basically between 30 and 50. Even if it has its own unique resource industry, its normal income per year is only 20 at most, and those with more than 20 , either they are extremely powerful third-rate forces, or they are doing some disgraceful business.

It sounds like 20 a year, and 2000 million in a hundred years. The second-rate forces like Da Luozong not only earn more than third-rate forces, but also have a foothold in Tongling for hundreds of years. That’s too much.

The problem is, this only counts in, not out.

According to the classification of the world's first-rate forces, the requirements of the third-rate forces are that there are more than a thousand warrior disciples, and warriors are not the same as ordinary people. Ordinary people can basically deal with them for a year with three to five taels of silver, but warriors have three to five taels of silver, even if they are The most basic food is only enough for a month, not to mention their supporting martial arts, training, and weapons, which are all more expensive than each other.

Ordinary Kaishen realm warriors, no matter how bad the third-rate force is, have at least more than 20 taels of monthly expenses. In other words, just supporting disciples is 24 yuan a month, and [-] yuan a year. Not to mention other weapons, horses, martial arts skills, cultivation elixirs, Yuan Gang Pearls, etc...

In fact, if a mainstream force is not strong enough and does not control enough profitable business, it will be difficult to maintain so many warriors. It is their normal state to make ends meet.

For example, when the Hou family was just qualified to be promoted to the third level and had nearly a thousand disciples, Hou Yuxiao made two rules at that time.

The first is the basic salary, which ranges from 10 to 200 taels for a tenth-level warrior. The higher the level of cultivation, the more you will get.

The second item is a training subsidy. Disciples with a cultivation level of three or above can receive a body-opening pill worth 100 taels every month.

These two items were considered the family's largest expenses at that time, exceeding 6 taels per month. At that time, the family's business consisted of medicinal materials, iron ore and taxation, and they could only earn more than 2 taels a month at most.

Hou Yuxiao set these two rules at that time. Hou Yuduan, who was responsible for managing money, had a lot of opinions, but in fact he had no worries.

If it weren't for Ren Feng's small gold mine, the family's finances would have collapsed long before the Qinglong Society and Zhaoyang Escort Bureau could make money.

From the end of last year to September this year, the family's rapid development in the past year is inseparable from Hou Yuxiao's large amounts of money.

Because of this, as of the eve of the Tongling Rebellion, the Hou family's finances were still unable to make ends meet. Although the businesses of Qinglong Society and Zhaoyang Escort Bureau later also generated income, they still could not keep up with the speed of spending money.

Even if the Hou family is prospering like this, the situation of other weaker third-rate forces can be imagined. Those who can maintain a balance of payments are all third-rate forces that are developing well. If they can still save some, they are on a rapid rise. It’s due.

"The reason why Daluo Sect has so much cash in cash has already been explained in the account book by Third Sister!"

Not only were everyone confused, Hou Yujie was also a little confused, but as he flipped through the account book, he quickly saw the reason Hou Yuling wrote in it.

"According to Sanjie's investigation, there are three most basic industries of Daluozong. The first is the taxation of shops within its sphere of influence, with an annual revenue of 70;

The second item is the Huangxuan Iron Mine with amazing reserves in the northern suburbs of Tongling County. This Huangxuan Iron can be used to forge high-quality weapons. The price is about 50 taels per kilogram. The annual output is [-] kilograms, and the annual revenue can reach more than one million taels. .

In addition to these two items, the Daluo Sect also has three houses, seven rented shops, and a Daluo Inn in Xingnan Fucheng. These combined annual revenue is 40 taels.

Daluo Sect’s annual fixed revenue is 210 million, but they support nearly 200 disciples, and their total annual expenditure is about [-] million. It is said that they can maintain a balance of income and expenditure at most. The sect, let alone the remaining money, just wants to improve It cannot be achieved at any speed of development.Originally, their warehouse should not have so much cash, but..."

Hou Yujie turned over a page in the account book and continued: "Daluo Sect also has one of the most profitable businesses, which is Daluo Ticket Account!"

Hou Yuxiao's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the words "Daluo bank account". The bank account number is equivalent to the official bank in this world. This is a big business with guaranteed profits. If he remembers correctly, In other words, there are three companies in Tongling County, namely Luosha Yinhao, Dajin Tongbao, and Daluo Piaohao.

“Ticket accounts generally have three ways to make money, one is to collect and sell gold, the other is to lend money, and the third is to issue banknotes.

In fact, among the three ticket offices in Tongling, Daluo Ticket Office is the least profitable. But even so, Daluo Sect relies on this ticket office to earn at least more than 200 million yuan every year. Over the years, Daluo Sect can continue to make money. It can be said that the development is all due to this bank. "

Now, everyone's doubts were resolved.

"With the collapse of Daluo Sect, the third sister has taken over all the original debts in the banknotes. Before September [-]th, she had spent money to recover all the banknotes issued in the county and reissued them with my Hou family name. All businesses with marked banknotes and ticket numbers will resume normal operations within this month, with the same rules as the original operation of Daluo Sect, covering Wanyang County and the three counties under its jurisdiction."

Hou Yuduan couldn't sit still anymore, and said directly: "Not only that, my Hou family's current sphere of influence is not limited to Tongling County, the three counties and twelve counties in Hexi can open a semicolon!"

When everyone heard Hou Yuduan's words, they were stunned at first, and then quickly reacted. Looking at the gold in the box, a burst of light suddenly burst out in their eyes, and their breathing became heavier.

The Daluo Piao account, which is limited to one county and three counties, has an annual income of more than 200 million silver. If all three counties and twelve counties in Hexi were included at once, how much would the annual income be...

Mr. Hou, this time, he really got mad...

"Ahem, cough, cough, I've never seen the world, it's just a little money, what's the fuss about!" Hou Yuxiao calmly waved his right hand to everyone to calm down.

When everyone saw Hou Yuxiao's calm expression, they immediately felt admiration in their hearts. After all, he was the head of the family, and he could still be so calm with such a big sum of money.

As everyone knows, Hou Yuxiao's left hand behind his back is shaking all the time.

"Fourth, go on!"

When Hou Yujie saw Hou Yuxiao's calm expression, he couldn't help but feel that he was too petty to be so excited about a little money. He must work hard to learn from his elder brother in the future. He quickly calmed down and continued to open the account book and read back.

"In addition to cash and these properties, the Daluo Sect's warehouse found a first-class martial arts book "Daluo Buddha's Hand", three second-class martial arts books "Tianfeng Sword Technique", "Pingtian Palm" and "Wangchuan Sword Technique". There are also a total of seventeen books on third-rate martial arts.

There are a total of 35 high-quality weapons, 109 Fanpinzhen and other weapons, and a total of more than 2000 elixirs of various types, mainly Kaishen elixirs, as well as some healing and detoxifying elixirs, all of which are third-rate elixirs. "

Hearing the words "Da Luo Buddha's Hand", Hou Yuxiao's mind immediately recalled the scene of Ding Buhai fighting the demon. The eyes of the others also lit up when they heard so many martial arts names.

For these warriors above the Gang Qi realm, the attraction of martial arts is far more direct than money. They are all members of the Hou family now, and they will definitely have the opportunity to practice these martial arts in the future.

"The first box contains basically these. The second box contains all the properties looted from the residences of the three influent forces, namely the Longyue Gate, the Lingcheng Escort Bureau, and the Qijue Gate, which amounts to a total of 200 million in cash and nine third-rate martial arts schools;

In addition, the third sister has sent people to take over the Baiye County where the Qijue Sect was originally located, as well as the Lingcheng Escort Bureau and the Longyue Sect in Tongling County. The various industries of the three companies have also begun to continue to recover, and it is estimated that the number will increase every year. It should total 60 taels. "

This is the gap between third-rate forces and second-rate forces. One industry of Daluo Zongguang can equal the revenue of the three companies combined.

"The third box belongs to the Tianding Sect. After the holy army broke through the city five days ago, the master ordered to kill all the Tianding Sect. Peng Yuhu led the army to loot first. All our harvests are from behind. In the past few days, the Tianding Sect members were hunted down and found out that they had slipped through the net.

There are a total of 500 million taels of silver in cash, and there are eight third-rate martial arts, two second-rate martial arts, and the Tianding Sect's unique skill, the first-rate martial arts "Tianding Divine Fist". "

Hou Yuxiao's eyes narrowed slightly. He could dig out so much money just from these escaped Tianding Sect members. The Tianding Sect's family fortune was originally even more amazing than that of the Daluo Sect, but it was Peng Yuhu's advantage.

"According to the order of my eldest brother, I went to Yeyin County, Jinxiang County, Longxiang County and Yangping County in the past two days to kill all the disobedient disciples of the seven third-rate families. In addition, We also sent people to stay in different places and took over the properties of seven of their families. This fourth box is the entire property of those seven families."

Hou Yujie said that the seven families were third-rate forces without any explanation. Everyone knew immediately that they were the seven families from Jinfeng Xiaoyu Tower three days ago.

"The seven forces have a total of 500 million taels in cash, a total of 23 third-rate martial arts schools, and two second-rate martial arts schools. There are more than 4000 people from the seven families who have expressed their willingness to join the Hou family, and there are 1000 or above martial arts practitioners. There are more than [-] people, I did not agree, I just asked the Gang Qi realm warriors from the clan to take them first, and I plan to discuss with you when I come back this time whether to accept these people."

Hou Yuxiao's eyes flashed slightly. With so many warriors, it would be a lie to say that he was not moved, but the problem is that these people all came from the Huangshan Sect and other seven powerful families. The seven people Hou Yuxiao killed with his own hands were all their sect leaders and clan leaders. , master, and even relatives.

There are definitely many people in this group who have evil intentions and even hate Hou Yuxiao deeply. If they rush into the Hou family, they will definitely lay the seeds of disaster.

Hou Yuxiao's eyes moved slightly and he thought for a moment. Seeing Hou Yujie still looking at him, he immediately shook his head and said, "You can continue talking about the fifth box. We will discuss other issues later!"

Hou Yujie nodded and pointed to the fifth box.

"This is the money spent by the 28 influent forces in the three counties of Hexi Province to redeem people. There are 13291 people imprisoned in the sky prison. There are 13202 warriors in the body realm. Each person is 1200 taels, which is 15842400 taels. There are 89 taels for warriors in the Gangqi realm. 12000 people, each with 106800 taels, which totals 120000 taels. There are also two Grandmaster realm warriors, Li Wenxuan and Gui Zhaoqi, with 240000 taels each, and [-] taels were collected.

After excluding the fractions, the total of the three items was equivalent to 7105 million taels of silver. Wow, they were really happy to pay this money. "

"This is their life money. The total of 28 factions paying 700 million is not a big deal. They should have found out the specific amount of the Holy Religion's ransom in the past few days, right?"

Hou Yuxiao sneered and asked suddenly.

Hou Yujie nodded and replied: "It has been spread for a long time that the ransom price of the Holy Cult is 1000 taels for Kaishen warriors, 1 taels for Gangqi warriors, and [-] for Grandmaster warriors. We have added [-]% to each of them. They have already inquired about it. It’s clear. I thought that there would be some trouble caused by some unsighted people, but I didn’t expect that they were really willing to suffer the loss of being dumb. It seems that my elder brother killed those seven people in Jinfeng Xiaoyu Tower and shocked these people."

"Of course, if you ask me, brother shouldn't just kill those seven, but kill a few more. Not only can we grab more territory, but we can also make these people more honest!"

Hearing Hou Yucheng's commotion, Hou Yuxiao shook his head slightly. Although a larger territory can make money, it also requires more manpower to manage. The Hou family has expanded too fast in the past year, not to mention whether it has the ability to occupy more There is so much territory, it is really taken up, and there are not so many people to manage it now.

"Lao Wu, calculate how much cash there is in these five boxes!"

Hou Yuduan nodded, stepped forward in front of everyone, picked up the account books from the five boxes one by one, and began to calculate all the property.
