Na He's retreat made Qiu Song very satisfied. The reason why the two had a grudge can be traced back to twenty years ago, when Na He had not yet contracted the bad habit of smoking.

At that time, Nahe's family was wealthy and he was the well-deserved 'richest man' in Yuanbao Town.

Although Yuanbao Town is an important commercial town, no matter how prosperous the business is, it is still just a town, and the market is limited after all. That family and the Qiu family are both wealthy families, so there are many frictions in business.

As time went by, the two families came to terms with each other.

However, as Na He started to smoke heavily, the family was defeated at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. If the family's ancestral property hadn't been rich enough, Na He might not be here today.

Qiu Song can become the president of the Yuanbao Town Chamber of Commerce. Naturally, he is not a petty person. He just 'ridiculed' Na He just because of the habit he has developed over a long time.

Seeing that Na He was defeated, Qiu Song had no intention of chasing him and turned his attention to Li Jie and started talking about business.

"Little brother, I heard from Yuan Zhang that you plan to set up a security team?"

Li Jie cupped his hands and said: "I'm ashamed. I don't know much about anything else. I barely know how to handle crops. I established the security team just to make some contribution to Yuanbao Town and do my best."

"You're so humble." Qiu Song smiled and stroked his beard, and said in a fervent tone: "I heard Yuan Zhang mention that if you hadn't acted righteously, little brother, his family would not have been able to come back."

Li Jie replied politely: "No, no, I don't dare to take credit. Shopkeeper Xia's family has their own destiny. Even without my help, they will be safe and sound."

Qiu Song smiled and said without comment.

"Nowadays, the world is getting more and more chaotic. Naturally, our Yuanbao Town cannot be alone. My little brother wants to set up a security team. Qiu is in favor of it with both hands. But in everything, forewarning will lead to failure. Failure to do so will lead to failure."

"Before it is established again, we must make clear the rules that should be established."

"Little brother, do you think so or not?"

Li Jie nodded and said: "Of course!"

Qiu Song clapped his hands and said straight to the point: "Well, I think my little brother is also a cheerful person. If you have anything to say, just say it. If you can agree, we will naturally agree. If there is a dispute, we will try our best to discuss it so that both parties can agree.

All satisfied.”

Hearing this, Li Jie couldn't help but frowned secretly. He didn't believe that Xia Yuanzhang hadn't mentioned it to the other party. Now this guy is pretending to be ignorant, obviously he is not satisfied with the previous terms.

Although Li Jie was a little unhappy in his heart, he still had a peaceful expression on the surface.

"The old man is open-minded. If that's the case, then I will introduce the regulations of the security team to the bosses."

"Thanks to its superior geographical location, Yuanbao Town has become one of the 'Seven Border Towns'. It has been an important commercial town since ancient times, with many merchants traveling from north to south."

"Therefore, if you want to protect the safety of Yuanbao Town, the size of the security team must not be too small."

"My initial plan is to recruit fifty team members in the first phase. After a period of training, the security team's first task is to clear out the gangsters entrenched in the surrounding areas and ensure smooth trade routes."

When they heard that Li Jie was about to recruit fifty people, and it was only for the first phase, everyone at the scene immediately started talking.

Fifty people is quite a lot.

Although everyone hopes that the security team will be as strong as possible. After all, the stronger the strength, the safer they will be. However, it costs money to maintain a team. The larger the number, the higher the security fee.

Everyone here is a well-informed person, and they are no strangers to this new thing called the security force. Even if they don’t know the details, they have a certain idea of ​​how much it costs.

It costs a lot of money to maintain a security team of fifty people.

Hearing everyone's discussion, Li Jie smiled slightly, took the initiative to shut his mouth, and handed the scene back to everyone.

After a while, a slightly fat middle-aged man with a mustache stood up, cupped his hands towards Li Jie, and asked.

"Little brother, I, Lao Hu, am a layman. We are discussing business. I wonder how you charge here?"

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes focused on Li Jie again.

Obviously, everyone attaches great importance to the issue of 'money'.

Li Jie was not polite and directly put forward his own conditions.

"First, the annual insurance premium is five thousand oceans, of which three thousand oceans are cash and the other two thousand oceans are converted into equivalent supplies."

Upon hearing such conditions, the scene suddenly became commotion again.

"Five thousand?"

"Is it too much?"

…

Seeing this, Li Jie smiled lightly and said calmly: "Everyone, don't rush to express your opinions. Please listen to the staffing issue of the security team first."

"In the future, each member of the security team will be equipped with a water ball, and each team will be equipped with a heavy machine gun. At the same time, I have also purchased several additional rapid-fire artillery pieces."

Upon hearing such a firepower configuration, Shopkeeper Hu's face clearly showed a hint of surprise.

This configuration is simply too luxurious, and the firepower configuration of the new army of the Qing Dynasty is not so powerful.

Could it be a lie?

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Hu turned his eyes and looked at Xia Yuanzhang with a questioning expression.

Most of the people at the scene had similar reactions to Shopkeeper Hu. They all turned their attention to Xia Yuanzhang. After all, he was the one who introduced him, so the other party must know more than they did.

Xia Yuanzhang stood up and said: "Bosses, please rest assured that Xia can guarantee the reputation of Chun Hesheng. What little brother Zhu just said is true. When the weapons arrived a few days ago, Xia was at the scene."

When the others heard that Xia Yuanzhang had moved Chun and Sheng out, their suspicions were immediately dispelled.

At the same time, everyone also understood why the insurance premiums were so high.

As the discussion on the scene gradually subsided, Li Jie continued.

"Second, the security team will provide 'escort' service after clearing the surrounding area. However, this service is charged extra."

"Of course, the charging standard will not be set too high. The specific regulations will be clearly announced after the security team is established."

Regarding this point, no one at the scene had any objections.

"Third, since the security team has been established, the brothers must have a place to stay. I plan to buy a property, which should be able to meet training, accommodation and other needs at the same time."

"This is easy to handle." Qiu Song raised his hand and said: "I happen to have an unused yard in the town. It is enough to accommodate fifty or sixty people. At the same time, there is a large school ground in the yard for training and housing.

It’s no big deal.”

"In this way, you don't have to buy it. This yard can be regarded as my sponsoring the security team."
