Earn more?
Upon hearing this, the eyes of everyone present immediately lit up.
The situation of the White Lotus Sect is not good now. If you ask these elders to continue rebelling, they don't have the courage. But if you ask them to make more money, they still have the courage, and it's very big!
Having tasted the sweetness of making ice, everyone also believed that the once honest Huang Aniu had indeed grown up and must know more ways to make money.
Even if you don't watch it, being forced to go to the capital city is not without its benefits. You have seen and tasted it.
So Hong Wanren hurriedly asked, "What's the solution? Elder Huang, tell us all about it."
Hong Wanren is not really on guard against Huang Aniu now, because the news about Huang Aniu cannot get out, and the news from outside cannot get in, so he is essentially an orphan.
Once Huang Aniu tells Hong Wanren the solution, he will naturally find someone to do it, and there is no need for Huang Aniu to do it himself.
Huang Ah Niu didn't even think about taking action himself. He chuckled and said, "You all should know that I escaped from Lu Chen. But do you know how many soldiers and generals he brought with him this time when he went south?"
Hong Wanren's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and he asked anxiously, "How many people did he bring with him?"
Huang Ah Niu didn't beat around the bush and held up three fingers, saying, "Three thousand men, and most of them are navy!"
"You have all been deeply involved in the Lingnan region for many years. You should be well aware of the combat effectiveness of the Great Qi court's navy, right?"
Everyone nodded when they heard this. Da Qi did not pay much attention to the construction of the navy, and nowadays the naval battles were still mainly boarding battles, where the competition was about who was braver.
Upon hearing that Lu Chen only brought such a small number of soldiers, Hong Wanren's eyes lit up and he said, "Elder Huang, are you saying that we can take this opportunity to kill Lu Chen?"
"Lu Chen is quite capable. If we could capture him and use him for our Holy Church, that would be fantastic. Unfortunately, it won't be easy for us to capture him, and it might even cost the lives of our brothers in the Holy Church in vain."
Hong Wanren thought for a moment and nodded, "After all, the enemy's navy is not for show. If we want to take down their 3,000 men, we must prepare at least 10,000 men. It is indeed a bit difficult."
Upon hearing this, Huang Aniu understood what was going on. In other words, with the current power of the White Lotus Sect, they couldn't even muster a mere 10,000 people?
As expected, the previous defeat and the betrayal of the Jiangnan branch dealt them a heavy blow.
Thinking of this, Huang Ah Niu stopped beating around the bush and spoke directly, "The big business I'm talking about is Quanzhou City. What's a mere ice-making business? How many businesses in this world can be as fast as the one that's being snatched away?"
Seize Quanzhou City?
The expressions on everyone's faces varied when they heard this. Some were excited, some were worried, and some even had a hint of sarcasm on their faces.
Hong Wanren coughed and said, "Seizing a city is certainly very profitable, but we also have to consider the issue of war losses."
"Elder Huang, attacking a city the size of Quanzhou City is no easier than killing Lu Chen. There are defenders here."
After saying this, Hong Wanren smacked his lips. In fact, there were some things he couldn't say in such an occasion. He had a very good relationship with some sea merchants in Quanzhou City.
Huang Ah Niu shook his head and said, "I think it's worth it. You may not know this, but Lu Chen brought a large amount of money this time, which he stored in Quanzhou City. And when I left, I heard about some of their plans, which directly led to many sea merchants exchanging their life savings for money. Today, Quanzhou City is a veritable treasure trove."
Hong Wanren had no idea how much money Lu Chen brought with him, but he knew a thing or two about how rich the merchants were.
Not only him, but all the elders present couldn't help swallowing when they heard the news.
If it is true as Huang Aniu said, then as long as they make this deal, they won't have to worry about money for a long time to come.
By then, whether it is recruiting soldiers or enjoying one's retirement, funds will definitely not be a problem.
Even so, Hong Wanren still hesitated and said, "It's not that I don't trust Elder Huang, it's just that attacking Quanzhou City is too dangerous. I was afraid that we would risk the lives of our brothers. In the end, we didn't take Quanzhou City, and all of our brothers died."
The elders nodded in agreement. This was not impossible. It could only be said that the members of the White Lotus Sect had a relatively clear understanding of their own combat effectiveness.
Seeing that the group was still hesitating, Huang Ah Niu spoke again, "This matter is easy to resolve. I know that you can contact some pirates at sea. We can spread the word that in ten days, a large amount of money and food will be shipped here from the capital. I know their route."
"If they are brave enough to intercept these money and food, they will definitely make a lot of money."
"If they really take action, then some of the officers and soldiers guarding Quanzhou City will definitely be withdrawn to rescue them. We should make preparations early and place our brothers in Quanzhou City as soon as possible."
"Then everyone will join forces inside and outside, seize the city gate, charge in, set fire and create chaos. Wouldn't it be wonderful to burn, kill and loot?"
this……
Everyone's eyes lit up. Huang Aniu's proposal was exactly what the White Lotus rebels wanted.
At that moment, someone stood up and said, "Master, I think this deal can be done!"
Once one person took the lead, others immediately followed suit and expressed their opinions. As the saying goes, money can move people's hearts, and many people were tempted.
But Hong Wanren was still a little hesitant. He felt that Huang Aniu's plan was very good, too good, as if he had thought of it a long time ago.
Seeing that Hong Wanren was still hesitant, Huang Aniu smiled and said, "Of course, it's you who are going to attack the city and seize the territory. You should all discuss it carefully. I'm not going anyway. I want to stay in the Holy Church and make ice for them."
After hearing this, Hong Wanren suddenly looked up and stared at Huang Aniu from head to toe.
Huang Ah Niu also looked at Hong Wanren fearlessly. After a while, Hong Wanren nodded and said, "Elder Huang, this plan is very good. Let's discuss it again."
"Come here, send Elder Huang back and serve him well!"
What Hong Wanren did was a bit like killing the donkey after it had served its purpose, but Huang Aniu did not show any displeasure. He cooperated and went down.
As he walked out the door, a smile appeared on his face.
The reason is very simple. Hong Wanren's plan to put him under house arrest proves that his plan has worked and Hong Wanren is tempted!
Solitary? No way to pass the message? No problem!
Lu Chen never thought of asking Huang Aniu to deliver any message. From the beginning to the end, Huang Aniu's role was not to deliver messages.
He is a poison pill. This time he has infiltrated the White Lotus Sect. The name of the plan is called the Poison Pill Plan!
